Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

"Where is the thing?"

Brian turned to look at the gold ornaments on the 4 week counter.

There is nothing special, nothing more than a variety of shapes.

"Master Brian, please follow me!"

The store owner recommended Brian to a small room.

Finally, in the small room, he took out a piece of cloth, which should be a piece of silk to be precise.

Brian's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the silk.

You must know that silk was not produced in ancient Rome.

Only the other end of the continent, another center of civilization in this world, will the Han Empire produce.

"How did you get it?"

Brian stroked the silk and said.

It was quite difficult for things from the Han Empire to get here.

In 121 BC, Huo Qubing, a famous general of a generation, defeated the Xiongnu and occupied the Hexi Corridor, which provided the possibility for the exchange between the two great empires of the East and the West.

In 106 B.C., Li Guangli, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, launched the Tianma War, defeated the big states, and 36 countries in the Western Regions surrendered along the way.

The Han Dynasty set up a governor's office in the Western Regions, and the eastern half of the Silk Road was basically completed.

It is now 91 BC.

Unexpectedly, only ten years later, I saw things from the Han Dynasty here.

"It's a businessman from the East who came to me through a change of hand!"

The store owner said smugly.

Because of that sense of mystery, he maintained that unique superiority.

"Your line is pretty good! Han Empire, Guishuang Empire, Parthia and Greece!"

Brian directly mentioned the important countries and regions on the Silk Road.

The store owner looked at Brian in surprise.

"Master Brian, how do you know this?"

I know that this line (Silk Road) is very hidden and few people know about it.

"This is in a noble school, I have learned from it!"

cough cough

Brian coughed lightly, and unscrupulously pushed the question to the teacher of the noble school in the Roman Republic.

"It turns out that noble schools still teach this kind of knowledge!"

The shop owner said thoughtfully that although he was quite wealthy, he was just an ordinary Roman citizen.

As for Scarlett, who was standing behind Brian, he was very clear about some of Brian's habits of staying with no one during this period of time.

For example, every time you speak, there will be a unique change in facial expression.

Obviously he lied just now.

But Scarlett couldn't find where to lie.

After all, he had never attended aristocratic schools, so he was not sure whether such geography knowledge was taught in aristocratic schools.

"So how much is this price? I want it all!"

How could Brian leave such a good thing to others.

"Master Brian, we are all acquaintances!"

The store owner looked at it, then rubbed his hands together and said.

"10 times the quality of gold!"

Speaking of which, otherwise he obviously twitched his cheek.

It has long been known that after the opening of the Silk Road, the price of silk was very expensive.

I just didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive.

It takes 10 pounds of gold to replace a pound of silk.

Brian's expression wasn't very big yet.

But Scarlett behind him obviously has a rich expression change.

It was also the first time she had seen such an expensive thing.

"Okay, I bought it!"

This bolt of silk weighed no more than ten pounds.

All it takes is 100 pounds of gold.

Brian just won 10 talents, no problem.

1 Roman pound = 330 grams.

Tarrant = 33 kg.

100 Roman pounds = 1 talent.

In other words, a piece of silk needs 1 talent of gold.

Not long after the opening of the Silk Road, such rare things were delivered to the ridiculous.

"no problem"

"Why do you buy such expensive cloth!"

Red Earl Scarlet reminded Brian from the side.

...asking for flowers...

Cloth has never been worth 1 talent.

"This is no ordinary cloth, this is silk, from the other side of the world!"

Otherwise, you can pick up this batch of silk and slowly open it.

"See, if you use this to make a gauze dress for you, it should be very beautiful!"

Almost instantly, Scarlett was attracted by the unique texture and lightness of silk.

"God Jupiter, there is such a perfect thing in the world!"

After gently stroking, he said with a happy face.

At the same time, Brian Ze was lost in thought.

If he could produce silk in Rome, it would definitely be a violent thing.

0..........

Silk was shipped from the Han Dynasty to Rome, and its price increased hundreds of times.

Thinking of this, Brian directly opened the system exchange bar.

Silk Production Technology - 100,000 points

He couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

Sure enough! Something like this profiteering must be worth a lot.

It seems that it is very difficult to obtain points alone.

If you have the opportunity to get a random exchange coupon, try your luck.

"Okay, I'll send someone to give you the gold later, let's go now!"

Brian turned to the store owner and said.

The ten talents of gold weighed 33 kilograms, and it was impossible for Brian to carry it with him.

In addition, although Brian is a scumbag in Rome, his reputation is very good.

What is promised will be done.

And I used to buy things here often, and the shop owner trusted him very much.

"Waiting for Lord Brian to visit again!"

The shop owner knew, otherwise he would definitely send gold over in the afternoon.

And at this moment, a discordant voice came.

"If I'm not mistaken, what he is holding should be a special linen from the Eastern Empire!"

Brian turned his head and saw a young lady in her early 30s staring at the silk bag in his hand. .
