Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"We Romans deeply feel the sincerity of the Han Dynasty. May our friendship last forever!" Herodian stood up directly and said very excitedly.

As a truly capable Roman patriarch, this guy has a very long-term vision. Unlike Serali, who is still staring at silk until now, the long-term benefits of cement formula are not less than silk for him.

Changes in the speed of material transfer can alleviate the current financial problems of Rome to a large extent. As for the cost of road construction, Rome has a large number of barbarians and slaves that can be used, and there is no cost at all for road construction.

Therefore, Herodian was overjoyed when he confirmed that the other party had indeed come up with the cement formula as part of the alliance. This was indeed full of sincerity.

"Stop, you don't think we'll give you the secret recipe directly." Seeing Herodian's eyes shine, Jian Yong immediately poured cold water on him.

"Although I really hope so, but this kind of thing..." Herodian said with a sigh. Jian Yong thought that the other party had understood what he meant, but Herodian suddenly changed the subject, "You Han Dynasty can't directly Give it to us? The friendship between Han and Luo lasts forever!"

"..." The corners of Jian Yong's mouth twitched, are you happy now?

"Ahem, I'm just joking, I'm prepared." Herodian restrained his smile and said, "If you are willing to sell it to us, we are already very satisfied, but if it is too expensive, our finances are also a bit tight recently. nervous."

Jian Yong looked at Herodian, and he could guarantee that from the moment he confirmed that the Han Dynasty was indeed going to sell cement formula to them in Rome, all the expressions of Herodian, whether they were excited, cheered up, or sighed, were all fake.

All the facial expressions are actually prepared for the final purchase of the Hanshi cement formula.

"Herodian, give me a real price. You should understand how valuable this thing is. It can be said that other than our Han Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for other countries to come up with formulas for sale, and the current situation is really not very good on our side. It’s easy to talk, let’s forget about the two boxes of gold coins.” Jian Yong did not have as many scenes as Herodian, but he almost hit the nail on the head.

"Well, what you said made me a little confused about how to speak." Herodian was hesitant when he heard this, and he was really hesitant this time.

No way, the sincerity of the Han Dynasty is just like what Herodian said, Rome has already received it, and the next step is to see the sincerity that Rome returned to the Han Dynasty.

Herodian estimated that according to the current situation, he could get it at a not too high price, but this price represents the sincerity of Rome, which is very important.

Concrete is used by the Romans, so the Romans understand how easy it is to save trouble and worry. If the roads can be repaired, it will be enough to solve many problems for Rome. It can be said that the Han Dynasty took this thing out , is enough to represent the sincerity of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, Rome will not be able to mess around like before, giving the Han Dynasty something they don’t want, such as the land east of Media, and must give some real land even in their country. Precious things, otherwise, if they are found out in the future, the friendship between the two parties will really come to an end.

"One hundred boxes of gold coins, after we get them, we will only use them for ourselves and will not spread them to the outside world." After thinking for a long time, Herodian said slowly.

Herodian gave a fair price. Although he wanted to give it a higher price, there were indeed some financial problems in Rome. One hundred boxes of gold coins was already his upper limit. If there was more, he would really have to find a way to get money from certain places.

[Looking back, I need to go to the Senate to raise money. When the time comes, the recipe will be obtained and the area will be divided so that those who pay can go to build roads and collect tolls. Well, forget it, let’s take the secret recipe back. Let Pompianus kill the group of merchants who sneaked into the Senate. 】Herodian thought maliciously, this guy is not a purely good person.

【At that time, His Majesty will probably demolish Anxi, take the army back, and kill those businessmen who sneaked into the Senate. It shouldn't cause any turmoil. 】Herodian thought viciously.

"One hundred boxes of gold coins..." Jian Yong was obviously hesitant. This price was only half of what Chen Xi asked for. Although it was acceptable to Jian Yong, it was just that since Chen Xi had opened his mouth, he had his own way, so it was impossible to ask for a price randomly. The tone of voice is generally bad.

"Let me tell you, this price is the upper limit that we can pay you directly, and your treasury will not reserve so much money. If you want more, we need to deal with some fixed assets here. Seeing Jian Yong's expression, Herodian knew that the price was a bit low, and in fact he also knew that the price was a bit low.

Jian Yong couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and asked after a while, "You don't have any money in your treasury, it shouldn't be, such a big empire."

"It's not that there is no money, it's the guy Pompianus who invests the country's fiscal revenue every year and turns it into physical mines, land, handicraft workshops, fish farms, pastures, vineyards, slave plantations, wineries, and weapons preparation factories Wait for these, and only leave a part of the money." Herodian did not hold back Jian Yong and told the situation of the Roman Empire directly.

Jian Yong's heart sank. If ten years ago, Jian Yong still felt that this kind of practice was looking for death, he should save money like Wen Jing, and save it until "the money is huge, and it is too old to be corrected. The millet of Taicang Chen and Chen Xiangyin are full of dew and accumulated on the outside, to the extent that they are corrupt and inedible. This is called wealth. However, in the past ten years, Jian Yong has witnessed the rise of Chen Xi.

Even now Jian Yong does not understand how Chen Xi plays, but Jian Yong knows that Chen Xi's actions are actually very similar to Pompianus' actions.

"Oh, so that's the case, and it's the same on our side." Jian Yong said perfunctorily with a smile.

"It's the same on your side, so you should be able to understand that sometimes this method is very rich, but you can't get it out for a short time." Herodian said with a liver pain. Although he also understands economics, he really Don't understand Pompianus...

"That's true." Jian Yong nodded and said, the turnover is very complicated, even Chen Xi occasionally has to check and select the right ones for transfer. It is said that when there is an emergency, Chen Xi will feel very uncomfortable. It is said that Chen Xi himself felt that it was a kind of mental pollution when he was selected for screening and checked the growth rate for turnover.

"If it was okay in the past, I really can't take it out now." Herodian sighed and said, "Why don't you see what else you want, or what conditions, we will help you solve it incidentally, and then That much money, and Pompianus would go mad."

"Then how about adding another condition?" Jian Yong looked at Herodian's expression and nodded. Jia Xu had given other conditions that could be raised when Jian Yong came over.

"What conditions?" Herodian breathed a sigh of relief. If he wants to increase the amount of gold coins, he really needs Pompianus to sell his property. At that time, Pompianus will probably kill him directly. There are also other ways to pay.

"Anxi seems to be hopeless. After Anxi falls, according to the previous agreement, everything east of Midia will belong to the Han Dynasty." Jian Yong calmly narrated.

Herodian nodded when he heard the words. There is nothing to say. In fact, Rome doesn’t even want Mediaa. It’s not a big deal to have short legs. If you give it to your Han family, you will give it to your Han family. .

"We hope that after the war is over, our two sides will work together to build a city in Midia as a trade zone. How about co-management?" Jian Yong asked tentatively.

Herodian frowned. This incident had no effect on Herodian. In fact, Rome is now basically sure that Anxi is killed, and it is enough to block the Zagros Mountains, and basically nothing in the east.

So for Rome, the million-square-kilometer area from the west of Media to Zagros is actually a half-abandoned state, and it is intended to be used to buffer the line or something.

After all, the Romans have short legs, and the number of citizens in the main body can only account for about one-tenth. Now that the land is large enough, it is natural that they are in a state of capriciousness about the land area. Asia to establish a free trade zone.

In other words, this is indeed a good thing, and it is true for Rome, but the problem is that the Romans used to think that the sideline was the Zagros Mountains. If a condominium is established, Rome will send people over .

"This is fine." Although Herodian was reluctant to establish a free trade zone on the borderline between the two sides in theory, the Han Dynasty's approach was indeed correct in Herodian's view, and it would be of great benefit to both parties, but They Romans had short legs.

[In other words, they said it was the Median region, but they didn't mention the location. At that time, it would be impossible to build a city near the Zagros Mountains as a condominium area. 】Herodian thought silently, and he didn't care that doing so would bring the Han Dynasty closer to the border of Rome.

[Could this guy have guessed what we want to do? ] Jian Yong thought silently when he saw Herodian's expression.

The idea of ​​using a free trade zone as a condominium was told by Jia Xu to Jian Yong. Rome’s finances are somewhat problematic, and Jia Xu also knows that, after all, it has raised so many high-ranking soldiers. guy.

In addition, compared to things like gold coins, Jia Xu likes things that are more honest, such as land. Although the two sides drew a line and drew it to Media, Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that he could fool Rome and establish a condominium there. , In this way, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land can be confused again. This transaction is still worth doing.
