Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

After some discussions, Xi Zhicai and the Roman senators reached a final agreement.

Except that the first batch of transactions were settled in a timely manner.

Every three months, Cao Cao's side paid something worth ten billion in exchange for slaves of equivalent value.

If Cao Cao's side fails to pay on time, it will be deemed that Cao Cao's side is borrowing at an interest rate one point higher than the official interest rate.

Xi Zhicai was almost 100% sure that Cao Cao could not afford the price.

Rome cannot come up with the reserve to pay one billion every three months.

Especially after being linked to Xinghan, currencies such as gold and silver have begun to depreciate.

What Xinghan is implementing now is something similar to credit points, a monetary system supported by Huang Tianji's powerful computing power and the empire's credibility.

Xi Zhicai, who originally planned to stop Cheng Yu from using people to refine the elixir, now thinks that Cao Cao can turn this into an industrial chain.

Rome provided the raw materials, they provided the technology and production, and finally they sold them to various fiefdoms. Although the risk was great, Xi Zhicai felt that this could be done.

But before that, he still needs the support of another person.

After reaching an agreement with Rome, Xi Zhicai immediately returned to Luoyang and found Jia Xu.

According to Xi Zhicai's judgment, among the senior management of Xinghan, the only person who might support their industrial chain is Jia Xu.

If Jia Xu could take the blame, they could expand production.

However, if Jia Xu refuses, they will have to think carefully about how to deal with the follow-up matters.

"Cheng Zhongde is a really smart guy. He wants to eat people to make up for himself..."

After hearing Xi Zhicai's purpose, Jia Xu kept tapping his palms with his folding fan.

Of course he could understand what Xi Zhicai meant by looking for him.

However, in Jia Xu's view, this matter is of progressive significance for the entire empire.

The most important thing is that this was done by Cao Cao. When the truth is revealed in the future, the conspiracy can be directly resolved. There will be no loss for the Xinghan Empire.

Moreover, they all use slaves. Slaves who have not obtained Xinghan citizenship are of course not protected by the Xinghan Empire.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is public opinion. The old people who came from the Yellow Turbans are still quite resistant to this matter.

Jia Xu was well aware of the power of those old men. They were the foundation of the Xinghan Empire. If they really aroused public resentment, it would not be a problem that could be solved by the death of a scapegoat.

By then, it is estimated that everyone from Cao Cao, Cheng Yu to Xi Zhicai, as well as the technical workers involved in the production, will not escape the fate of liquidation.

"This matter cannot be made public and the news must not be leaked!" Jia Xu pondered for a moment.

"You haven't been here today, and I haven't heard you say these things!"

"I understand!"

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, then nodded. Jia Xu's attitude was very clear, that is, he would not endorse them.

Once something happens, they will be cut off immediately, but similarly, Jia Xu will not investigate the matter.

"There are also some captives inside the empire. You can act as middlemen and help the empire return them to the Mongols!" Jia Xu's subsequent words made Xi Zhicai's heart tremble.

He bet his head that Jia Xu must have mixed sand among these captives, and it is even possible that he had mixed captives among the sand.

This thing is definitely not good for their human trade. After all, credibility is accumulated bit by bit in the transaction.

Originally, they wanted to act as a buffer zone and gain benefits from both sides between the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty. However, Jia Xu blocked their future path with just one sentence.

"The proceeds from these captives can belong to Cao Wei!" Jia Xu stated his price expressionlessly.

"We have the right to know about intelligence!"

Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment, nodded, and also offered his own price.

"Okay!" Jia Xu glanced at Xi Zhicai. It saves effort to talk to smart people.

There is room for bargaining so as not to cross the bottom line.

After Xi Zhicai left, Jia Xu thought about it and passed the relevant information to Zhuge Liang.

After receiving the news, Zhuge Liang immediately summoned the Roman senators to learn about the specific situation.

"Population trade?" Zhuge Liang just came out and asked Zhicai what they were going to do with Mongolian slaves.

But he was confused as to what Xi Zhicai and the others wanted slaves for. It couldn't be that the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols needed them and asked them to buy and sell them on their behalf.

It’s not that Zhuge Liang lacked intelligence, but that Zhuge Liang simply couldn’t think of cannibalism.

In that turbulent period, Zhuge Liang could still make some associations, but Xinghan has been established for so many years, there is no question of cannibalism at all.

Even if the answer was placed in front of Zhuge Liang, he would still think for a while why Cheng Yu did this.

"There is no problem with the agreement. Pay attention to the connection with Octavian and Nero to avoid any other accidents."

Although Zhuge Liang did not understand, he expressed his respect. After all, this was indeed a good project to make a fortune.

Octavian and Nero also needed to spend the money they earned from selling slaves, and Rome could serve as this market.

The wool comes from the sheep. Zhuge Liang sometimes even wondered whether they should also apply for a world and then move into that world to expand.

After all, war can create greater profits and increase the utilization rate of resources. Rome is now his fiefdom, and he also has to consider how to get the Roman war machine started.

The reason why so many barbarians were recruited as citizens was not to let them enjoy life, but to let them create greater value.

……

Cheng Yu felt that happiness came very suddenly. Xi Zhicai, who had previously strongly opposed his living elixir plan, suddenly changed his attitude and began to support him, and even got him a stable supply of materials.

This made Cheng Yu's eyes soften a lot when he looked at Xi Zhicai.

The two of them used to quarrel every day, but now they are finally a little more harmonious.

"Have you tried to send your first batch of samples to the Ming Dynasty?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"The Ming military will not adopt such foreign things because the people's purchasing power is not enough. However, Sun Quan and Liu Bei have both expressed interest." Cheng Yu shook his head.

He was not sure whether the Ming Dynasty had similar technology, or whether the Ming Dynasty would not use foreign things in order to ensure the purity of its army.

Anyway, this thing is not very popular in Ming Dynasty.

"Try to refine a batch recently. I will try to contact the noble families in Kushan and Central Asia!"

Xi Zhicai activated his spiritual talent. He copied a spiritual talent that used the world as a chessboard to use for layout.

And now, he wants to use this technology to build a large commercial distribution chain.

With so many materials prepared, we have to find more sales channels.

"The experimental legion may not have enough!" Cheng Yu frowned. Their original intention of doing this was to strengthen the legion's strength.

"Pause that for now. There are enough follow-up materials for them!" Xi Zhicai said without hesitation.

"This time, if we operate properly, we will be able to obtain an economy that is twice or even several times the size of our current economy. By then, we will be able to form more legions."

"If there is a delay, we may not be able to catch up with our first batch of plans!"

Cheng Yu frowned. This was somewhat of a deviation from the development path they had originally planned.

"No matter what, we must seize this opportunity!"

"Ming Yuan is in a truce period. We don't need the legion to go to war for the time being. This is our best time to develop!"

There was a gleam in Xi Zhicai's eyes. It all depended on him whether Cao Cao could soar to the sky.

"Who should we let negotiate the prisoner trade?" Cheng Yu asked after a moment's silence.

"I'll go myself!" Without any hesitation, Xi Zhicai decided to go there himself.

"Are you sure? There might be a fight then!"

"When the time comes, I will ask General Dian and General Xu to go with me!" Xi Zhicai had already anticipated this.

Cao Wei now has one biggest problem, which is that they lack top combat power. Although Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are quite strong, they are still far behind those real perverts.

Fortunately, there is still a close relationship between Dian Wei and Cao Wei, so he can be borrowed for use.

After all, Dian Wei rarely led the legion into battle. In most cases, he appeared as the bodyguard or guard of the envoy.

Its strong body gives it the power to escape even under the clouds.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai had already made a plan, Cheng Yu did not continue to persuade him. After all, they were all smart people, and once they had made up their minds, it would be difficult to persuade them with words.

On the day of the transaction, Xi Zhicai took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the agreed location.

The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols had already brought their men to confront each other in front of the agreed location.

The atmosphere on both sides was very tense. After all, the direct hatred between the two sides could not be resolved.

Even if there is a ceasefire, it is only to free up hands so as to better beat the opponent to death.

Similarly, the exchange of prisoners is also a compromise made for domestic stability and stability within the army. This exchange can also stimulate public opinion and is beneficial to both parties.

Therefore, even though both sides wanted to open each other's heads, they had to sit down and talk.

In the center of the temporary venue, the masters of the Ming Dynasty and the masters of the Mongols were almost lined up in a row, exuding an atmosphere of tit-for-tat.

As the mastermind of the talks, Yang Tinghe watched the confrontation between the masters of both sides with some headache.

Although he also knew very well that only one of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols could survive.

But now they are exchanging prisoners, and the atmosphere is so tense, how can they talk?

Badar, the leader of the Mongols, was also very troubled. The civil officials and military generals had different considerations, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

Although momentum is important in talks, in the current atmosphere, as long as the two sides have a slight difference of opinion, they will resort to fighting, and there will be no room for talks.

"Sorry, my lords, we were delayed on the road!" Xi Zhicai's arrival finally broke the deadlock.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that his ally Cao Wei was a pro-Mongol force, Yang Tinghe also knew the intention of Cao Wei's doing so.

It is nothing more than making the best use of small to gain big, and to please both sides. When it comes to this scale, there is no such thing as being close to Ming or Yuan, but only being close to interests.

Xi Zhicai also knew that the two people in front of him knew his intentions, but it didn’t matter. Sometimes, acting is not to make others believe, but to make yourself believe.

The Mongols would not miss an opportunity to drive a wedge between the Ming Dynasty and the Xinghan, and similarly, the Ming Dynasty would never fall out with the Xinghan because of Cao Wei.

And this is exactly the best ending that Xi Zhicai wanted.

The Mongols knew that Xi Zhicai was acting, but in order to please the Ming Dynasty, Badar still stood up enthusiastically to greet Xi Zhicai.

"Eternal Heaven, my dear brother, welcome to your presence!"

Although there was a large acting component to it, there was no doubt that he was still very happy to meet Xi Zhicai.

At least there is a step down between them and the Ming Dynasty.

The three parties took their seats, and with Dian Wei and Xu Chu distracting the attention of the masters on both sides, the atmosphere in the venue finally eased.

Dian Wei glanced around and then closed his eyes arrogantly.

The strength is good, but it is not enough!

"Is this guy a monster?" The generals on the Ming side whispered to each other.

"Xinghan actually has such a strong man?"

"He must be a top expert in our Ming Dynasty, right?"

Xi Zhicai heard these whispers and smiled slightly. This was also the reason why he specially invited Dian Wei over.

He had been to the Ming Dynasty, although not all of the Ming world, but he discovered one thing, that is, the individual strength of the Ming Dynasty's generals was generally average.

Generals like Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are common, but top masters like Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are very rare.

However, the Ming Dynasty had a lot of people who were good at commanding large armies, and even ordinary officers and generals had quite reliable abilities in commanding armies.

Compared with the generals in Xinghan, the average level is more than one level higher.

"Lord Badar, this time we are going to mediate and exchange prisoners. I wonder what price both sides are willing to pay for the exchange?"

Xi Zhicai seemed to take over the leadership naturally and began to preside over the talks.

Yang Tinghe and Badar narrowed their eyes and remained silent for a while. Finally, they acquiesced in Xi Zhicai's leadership. After all, it was difficult for either of them to convince the other.

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, then turned to look at Yang Tinghe and asked.

"I wonder what price Lord Yang intends to use for the exchange?"

Yang Tinghe was a little dissatisfied, but Badar was smiling. In this negotiation, the person who made the first offer would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

"One for one, the extra prisoners will be settled with special ore!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, this is a good stuff. It is said that this special mineral, Daming, is particularly effective in conducting internal energy. The performance of the equipment made from it can be taken to a higher level, and it is more suitable for soldiers with internal energy.

Then Xi Zhicai looked at Badal. After Badal knew Yang Tinghe's offer, he spoke lightly.

"One for one. The extra prisoners can be settled with special herbs!"

"I wonder what kind of special herb it is?" Xi Zhicai asked curiously.

"If you are interested in the herbs used to strengthen qi and blood, we can discuss the relevant transaction later!" Badal said to Xi Zhicai with a smile.

"That's the best!"

"I just happen to have another big deal to discuss with you!" Xi Zhicai took advantage of the situation and said bluntly.

Yang Tinghe's face looked a little ugly. After all, no one would look very good when seeing his ally and enemy flirting with each other.

But he was a smart man after all, so he just snorted coldly and pretended he didn't see it.
