The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 257 Patrius, profiteers can't hide

When thousands of Han soldiers cheered, Patrius also cheered.

At this time, Patrius was wearing a bearskin coat sold to him by a Han soldier, wrapping himself tightly.

"Bless the gods, these terrible Han people have finally returned to their hometown."

Patrius was almost in tears.

He accompanied him all the way, crossing almost ten thousand miles of prairie, it can be said that he suffered a lot.

It has never been imagined that this great eastern empire has such a large territory.

"Such a long distance can only be imagined from the Spanish Empire to Armenia."

Patellius saw the grassland along the way. Although it had beautiful scenery, the various tribes along the way made him deeply afraid.

Those eastern nomadic tribes are all extremely tough and have all kinds of horses. Every herdsman is the most ferocious soldier.

Patrius was always worried about his own safety, but those Han Dynasty soldiers seemed to be extremely disdainful of them.

This made Patrius even more curious about what the capital of the Han Empire looked like.

"Patrius, Pa!"

With two yells, Patrius' emotion was prepared.

When he turned around, he found that it was his old friend Li Quanzhong.

They said they were old friends, but in fact they had only known each other for two months.

Li Quanzhong looks like a foreigner from the Western Regions. Except for one name, he does not look Han at all but he speaks standard Chinese.

He was also Patellius' language teacher.

"Li, what's the matter?" Patrius asked.

"I'm about to enter Liangzhou of the Great Han Dynasty. I have obtained the permission of His Majesty the Emperor to return to Longxi Chengji to worship my ancestors." Li Quanzhong said.

"Your ancestors?" Patrius remembered at this time.

This Hu man from the Western Regions, named Li Quanzhong, seemed to have always said that his ancestors were Han Chinese and that he was a very capable general.

However, because of a defeat, his ancestors fell into the barbarian tribe.

However, his family and noble surname have been preserved.

Until the Han army reappeared in the Western Regions, giving his family a chance to restore their former reputation.

Only then did Li Quanzhong dedicate hundreds of Tianlong horses to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and gained the right to restore the surnames of the Han people and worship their ancestors.

"My ancestor was Li Guang, the famous parachutist of the Han Dynasty! Now that my noble blood has been awakened, I must go to worship my ancestors, and we will part for a while. When I finish my work here, I will definitely go to Luoyang to find you. I hope to see you again. It's up to you." Li Quanzhong said with a smile.

Patellius and Li Quanzhong, although one is a Roman and the other is a barbarian from the Western Regions, but they are both different in the Han army. Coupled with the similarity in money, their friendship quickly improved by leaps and bounds.

"Okay, I will wait for you in Luoyang, although I don't know if I can wait for you." Patrius said.

"Haha, don't worry, when I come back to Longxi and restore my ancestral home, I can immediately go to Luoyang to find you, we want to make a fortune together!" Li Quanzhong said.

It turned out that the two profiteers had communicated a long time ago.

Patrius's favorite trade was naturally Liu Bian's proposal to exchange female slaves for spices.

He learned from Li Quanzhong that there were many Huns and Alan tribes in the northwest of the Hu people in the Western Regions, and they often had golden-haired female slaves.

If you can buy female slaves from these Huns and Alans, and then sell them to the Han emperor, you can get a huge amount of spices, that is, a lot of gold.

In this case, it is much more convenient than from the Germanic areas of Rome.

The two parted ways, and then Patrius followed the emperor's car and continued eastward.

The further east he went, the closer he was to the core area of ​​the Han Dynasty.

The scenery along the way has also become more and more rich.

Behind the large troop of vehicles, he saw many Han Chinese dressed in silk.

These people seemed to be ordinary officials, because none of them had the opportunity to contact the Emperor of Han.

However, it happened that these ordinary officials were able to wear gorgeous silk.

"God, this place is really rich, is it full of silk?"

Patrius exclaimed.

When they entered a city, Patrius wrote down the name of the place in his personal notes and gave a detailed description.

"Seres Country, Liangzhou Governor's District, Jincheng!"

"This is a combination of a huge military fortress and a residential city. It must be the most important big city in the Han Empire, because this city is almost one-third the size of the Roman city, and it exceeds [-]% of the entire Roman Empire. It must be a big city in the country of Siris."

"As the big city of Seris, the residents in the city are extremely rich, and many of them wear silk clothes. That's right, it's the kind of high-grade silk that the Roman emperors and elders all regard as treasures."

"These silks are colorful and numerous, probably exceeding the sum total of the nobles in the entire city of Rome."

After hastily recording these, Patrius entered Liangzhou Jincheng.

As the Liangzhou seat of the great Han Dynasty, and a place where Hu merchants from the Western Regions had frequent exchanges, Patellius was arranged to live in a post house and gained the right to move freely.

The Liangzhou officials here thought he was a Hu merchant from the Western Regions.

Patrius followed a group of Hu merchants from the Western Regions and came to the market in Jincheng.

As soon as he entered the market, a group of people immediately gathered around him.

They pointed at Patrius for a while.

Patellius was already proficient in Chinese, and immediately understood what these people meant.

They were attracted by their bearskin coats.

This bearskin coat seems to be extremely valuable.

"I traded this for a gem-studded dagger!"

Patrius said as he started bargaining.

In the end, Patrius finally exchanged this bearskin coat for a bolt of high-quality silk.

Patrius suddenly felt that he had made a lot of money, silk that could be worth a pound of gold.

And the Han merchant who succeeded also felt that he had made a lot of money, because the soft skin of the bear cub was of good quality.

Both parties who reached the deal, after turning around, silently cursed each other.

"idiot!"

"Stupid!"

Holding a bolt of silk, Patellius flew back to the post house, fearing that it would be snatched away in an accident on the way.

He hid around the room and finally put the piece of silk in a safe place.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Palang-jun, the envoy of Rome, are you here?"
