Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"My house has recently dug out a mark of an ancient god..." Fabius stood up without hesitation and ended the silence, and then a group of elders, including Caesar, talked about summoning the ancient god with high spirits. Dangerous things, as if the meeting has ended.

As for Pompianus, standing on the podium trembling again and again, I am afraid that this country is not about to end, but has already ended!

At this moment, including the elders who once coveted the position of financial officer, they all silently gave up this position. Now everyone is holding the idea that Pompianus, you should die in the position of financial officer. No one can be, this is not a deficit, you can do it, you can do it! From now on, you will be treated until death, this position will be given to you, whoever is crazy will take over the pot!

If the difficulty of the position of the financial officer in the period of the Five Great Emperors was c, then it was almost b+ in the period of Commodus, and it may have been a in the period of Severus because of the expansion of the army. However, it is so difficult, you Pompianu Si can still play around with a surplus, which makes Severus expand his army in ecstasy and distribute food and salaries indiscriminately.

After you step down, the two sides will compare the difficulty of this position. I am afraid that the difficulty of this position is beyond measurable. After a while, if you seize the opportunity and knock him down with a wave of blows, it won't matter if you change someone.

Now, hehe, it is estimated that Pompianus was beaten to death, and their Senate has to find a way to fill the hole for Severus. The 400,000 army's food and salaries are already overpaid, and rewards are also issued. Whoever likes to toss who Come on, anyway, anyone with a brain now will definitely not be dead against Pompianus. Whoever killed Pompianus at this time will raise the food and wages of hundreds of thousands of people that year.

Even if there are only half of the Roman citizens among them, with Severus's habit, it is not enough to trap the barbarians who are soldiers. Even if a part is less, it is a bit too scary under such a huge base. Then, Pompianus, it would be better for you to die in office.

Looking at the elders of the senate who had begun to take out their imprints and summoned them on the spot, and the group of elders who gathered in twos and threes to comment on the summoning ceremony, completely ignoring their inner fatigue, Pompianus felt a strange feeling. idea.

【Perhaps His Majesty did it on purpose. He sent this message just to let these veterans understand that they can't touch me now, right? 】Pompianus comforted himself, but for some reason, he still felt a kind of grief from the bottom of his heart, this country! The Senate!

The ancient god was summoned in the end, and was captured abruptly by the Tenth Eagle Banner Legion in miracle mode. God or something, the strength is indeed there, but it also depends on the opponent. Compared with the first Italian, An old god overthrew the Roman Senate, and Rome, guarded by the tenth knight, directly grasped the connection of the summoning ceremony at the moment when the ancient god went crazy.

There is no way that even if it is a conceptual thing, as long as the tenth knight forcibly touches it, the miraculous state can also forcibly grasp that concept with a human body.

To put it simply, if the tenth knight wants to force time, as long as they have this awareness, then they can do it. are two concepts.

And the way to catch the ancient god this time is that the tenth knight forcibly dragged away the link between the summoning ceremony, and even the ancient god was taken away by them. After a gang fight, the ancient god was captured alive. It is extremely simple, and the effect is extremely cruel, but the members of the Senate think it should be taken for granted. After all, he is the tenth knight Caesar is present, a mere ancient god...

Dion silently took out the papyrus, recorded what the Senate was doing today, and finally made a comment - Rome, which is sunny and sunny, is extremely peaceful again today.

In short, no one will measure Pompianus, and no one is willing to feel Pompianus's current grief. The Senate is still going further and further on the road to death.

After the ancient gods were taken down, the Senate started the second topic, about Guishuang's request for assistance after forming an alliance. To be honest, since colluding with the Han Dynasty, the Senate has no interest in forming an alliance with Guishuang.

In the past, the greatest significance of Guishuang was the Maritime Silk Road. Relying on the sea route, Guishuang was able to transport a lot of silk from the Han Dynasty every year, but that was before. Overland contact with Rome.

Value Rome has also obtained the pricing power of silk, and the price has dropped to one-third of the previous price. It has no interest in Guishuang's high-priced silk. After all, the silk that Guishuang got is not very good. You can't get authentic Shu brocade at all.

Since the Han Dynasty is engaged in official camps, this kind of thing is very rare, and there will be things that are equivalent to the level of tribute. After all, the Han Dynasty also needs face. It’s not true that they don’t give any top-quality goods. If so If not, the trade may not last long.

Therefore, now the Roman nobles can basically buy silk at a higher level than before at a third of the previous price, so naturally they have no interest in Guishuang.

The main reason is that Rome has seen the situation clearly now. Its own legs are short. Although the Han Dynasty has long legs, the distance between the two sides is too far, and it is impossible to fight at all. At most, it is local friction. The strength is enough to make some small countries ascend to heaven.

It can be placed on the level of Rome and Han Dynasty, that is friction.

Besides, Rome and the Han Dynasty are still in the honeymoon period, and Rome even wants to sell all the horse farms searched from Parthia to the Han Dynasty, but because the distance is too far, it is a bit uncomfortable for Rome to send them back. It's worth it, the Han Dynasty wants it, but driving hundreds of thousands of horses across thousands of miles is really crazy.

So the horses that Rome got from Parthia are now in their hands. Recently, the Romans are fooling their own legionaries into cavalry. A few legions have needs for horses, others...

If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty would definitely move over, the horses in their hands might still be sold. Rome now wants to sell these war horses to citizens at low prices as mounts.

In short, what is the situation in Guishuang now? Rome has no interest at all. Guishuang wants to hire the Roman Legion or something, and Rome has no interest. Now the Roman Empire does not have any extravagant things. Many problems can be solved by force, but force If it can't be solved, Guishuang can't help much, it's just so realistic.

Therefore, after this issue was brought up, most of the elders of the Senate abstained from voting and expressed their non-participation, and the rest were thinking about the interests in it, but in the end they all felt that it was meaningless to form an alliance with Guishuang, and it was better to collude with the Han Dynasty .

"I think Guishuang's relationship can be continued. We are under a lot of financial pressure now." Pompianus said suddenly, and the others just shut up, and then looked at Pompianus with a complete expression , you say your expression.

However, the working elders in the Senate also instantly understood what Pompianus meant. There are only two biggest problems in Rome now. One is that Severus is always expanding his military power, which has caused the country’s finances to become increasingly difficult. One is that there are more and more barbarians, which will have an impact on the current civil system sooner or later, leading to the collapse of the Roman civil system.

Therefore, after Pompianus opened his mouth, the eyes of the elders who were actually working flickered, and they understood what Pompianus meant almost instantly. This guy seemed to want to consume some of the barbarians and make the country's situation more Stable, on the other hand, I am afraid that I want to reduce part of the expenditure to help Guishuang fight, so we can't let them pay for Rome.

Maybe they can still get the upper part from this group of mercenaries. After all, in the case of Pompianus, the barbarians were mainly sent in the past.

However, this issue was still removed, and it was not passed. Although the elders in the Roman Senate understood the value of this matter, they also had to think about the impact of doing so, so this matter was shelved first.

Pompianus didn't say anything else. He knew that this topic was only shelved and not taken down, which means that there should be a high possibility of passing it in the future, especially as time goes by, the Senate is getting more and more After I feel that the foundation of Rome is unstable, it will definitely pass.

The prosperity of the Roman Empire was due to the strong centripetal force of the civic system, and the decline of the Roman Empire was also due to the limitations of the civic system. If it is true that no one among them saw this kind of thing, it may not be possible, but it is hard to return.

At this level, it is absolutely impossible for the Romans, who enjoy the treatment of Roman citizens, to give up their own interests, and when the barbarians find that they cannot get into this system even if they sharpen their heads, the Roman Empire may collapse. not far away.

But now the Roman citizens still retain most of the power and most of the finances of the country, and can rely on other means to maintain the country.

As for the future, even Papinian, Urbian, Pompianus, and Severus have nothing to do. Anyone who knows can see the crisis in Rome, especially with the Han Dynasty as the leader. After the comparison, many elders knew that Rome had gone astray, but after so many years, even the foundation of the empire rested on it, and it was impossible to reform.

Because if Rome wants to transform into the Han Dynasty, the first thing to move is the interests of six million citizens, and Roman citizens are the foundation of Rome. This is an endless loop!
