Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Finance officer, what should we do with the remaining 200,000 barbarian troops? We can't just keep it like this. Every day is money." Papinian said to Pompianus with a headache after returning from the Red Sea. , This is not shot, Rome is very uncomfortable.

"Let's raise it first, and we can't disband it. If it is disbanded, it will become a hidden danger." Pompianus counted the money and said without raising his head. These people have been trained and put them back. Isn't that true? Do you want to add trouble to yourself, or it's better to stay here.

"But if you keep them, you have to spend money, food and supplies every day. This is not a small number of people. This is two hundred thousand." Pabinian said very helplessly. Considering the difference between the Han Dynasty and the Roman system, these famous bigwigs in history are also very troubled.

"This is not something you consider. This is the task of the financial officer." Pompianus greeted perfunctorily, "Besides, didn't you receive a deposit of 30 million denari from Guishuang? At least this amount of money can eat Two years, rest assured."

"What I mean is, let's just sell these troubles to the Han Dynasty. Didn't I hear that the Han Dynasty and Guishuang are doing it? We are allies of the Han Dynasty. We can't just support Guishuang. We must support them in a balanced way and give the Han Dynasty Let’s sell some too, and you can charge less money.” After looking around, Pabinian felt that he couldn’t expose his dark side, and whispered after confirming that there was no one.

"..." Pompianus stopped writing and looked Pabinian up and down, as if he was meeting this person for the first time, then nodded silently and said, "This is a good idea, and you can do it at both ends." Eat, it's better to charge a deposit from the Han Dynasty."

"You are darker than me." Papinian was convinced, but he was relieved when he heard what Pompianus said. The finance officer was still working, so he didn't need to say anything more.

"What's black, what do you know? In fact, I thought about it carefully and found that this trick is not realistic at all. When I found out that Guishuang couldn't even afford 300,000 talents, I thought about whether to sell it to someone else. Han Dynasty, but after thinking about it, I decided on one thing, that is, what is the purpose of our doing this?" Pompianus rolled his eyes and said.

"The purpose?" Papinian was stunned. "Of course it is to make a fortune while eliminating the hidden dangers caused by the state system. Is there any problem?"

"Nonsense, of course there is a problem. Do you know how strong the Han Dynasty is?" Pompianus said slightly gloomy.

"It's roughly weaker than us now, but it's okay. The distance between the two sides is too far. The distance between the elite districts is about 30,000 miles. Can the Han Dynasty come?" Pabinian rolled his eyes and said, "The distance between us is doomed. It can only be friction, it is impossible to fight."

"Well, I agree with your judgment, but Guishuang's distance is still close. If we go to war with Guishuang, how much will the difficulty of elite talents drop by 300,000 more?" Pompianus first echoed Papinian's conjecture, and then asked his own question.

"This." Pabinian nodded after thinking about it for a while. Indeed, there are 300,000 more talented elites, not to mention how many advantages they have when they capture, but the advantages will be particularly obvious when the defense line is solid.

"The Guishuang Empire, as far as I sent the people in the past to observe, that country has bigger problems than our Rome, but due to the land and climate, the output is very terrible, plus Guishuang's pepper pricing Right..." Pompianus said with a sigh.

Among the only three remaining empires, the system of the Han Dynasty is the best, the military power of Rome is the strongest, and Guishuang is the richest, and the most food and grass. Even Chen Xi can't wipe out Nangui Over there, rice is grown three times a year because of the climate.

Counting the large amount of spices that Nangui has mastered, Rome is actually in a state of wanting to die. For Europe, there have been several things that have been very fatal since ancient times. One is silk. Without this, it is not considered aristocratic. Spices, without this noble basically do not have to live.

Of course, there are still porcelain and tea in the back, but these two items have not been developed by Chen Xi, but tea has been developed. The problem is that the tea garden has not been settled, so it can still be supplied internally. Externally, the Romans feel that these things are It's something worth gold.

In short, the most tangled thing in Rome now is that Guishuang and the Han Dynasty hold a pricing power. The silk one is okay to say, and the two parties have reached an agreement, but the spices of Guishuang, Rome is still pinching its nose. Degree.

There is also a lot of demand for spices in the Han Dynasty, but now that Southeast Asia has been opened up, the Han Dynasty is clearly going to take the route of self-sufficiency, but there are still too many people in the Han Dynasty, and it is inevitable to import spices from Guishuang.

Of course, Rome has been used to these funds for hundreds of years. The foreign projects of annual fiscal expenditures are not just buying silk and spices, but there is nothing unacceptable.

The result brought back by the investigators of Pompianus was to let Pompianus complain about why he didn’t have such special and valuable gadgets, and then he said a few words that we are super strong in Rome and don’t envy them. Not envious at all, and then shed tears of envy.

In short, this is almost the case. Pompianus' observation clearly confirmed Guishuang's financial resources, and it is precisely because of this that Rome set such a high price. Although we do not have your special products, our Roman specialties are barbarians, and they are elite barbarians Ah, I can exchange it with you!

"That is to say, you judge that Guishuang will not be the opponent of the Han Dynasty?" Papinian raised his eyebrows and said, "But even if it is not an opponent, Guishuang Haolai is still an empire, so it can't be so fragile. , How many more years can Guishuang be cut to death?"

"The times are different. In the past, the battle of empires may have lasted for a hundred years, but now it will not. The mobility of soldiers and the speed of logistics transfer will greatly shorten the time of war between the close empires." Pompianus He doesn't know much about military affairs, but he understands strategy.

"So you can't sell it to the Han Dynasty." Pompianus sighed and said, "If you sell it to the Han Dynasty, there will be a big problem. The Han Dynasty is likely to kill Guishuang at a faster speed, and then Most of the barbarians we rented out did not die, and then the other party sent us back a bunch of barbarians with dual talents, you must know that the first aid system of the Han army is much more perfect than ours."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Papinian's mind hasn't turned around yet, and he still stays at the point that dual talents are good, and dual talents are the foundation of the empire. What the elite barbarians mean to the Roman Empire.

"What's so good?" Pompianus looked at Papinian like a fool, "Can't you turn your mind when you are a judge? Do we have so many citizenship positions for those people?" ? If you don’t give it, what will these hidden dangers that we specially jump out of will do, don’t you know?”

Papinian was stunned when he heard the words, and he brushed his thoughts away. After a while, he looked at Pompianus with a dizzy head. He found that what the other party said was very reasonable. If it was given to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would Send this group of people back, and Rome will wait for civil strife.

There are more than 300,000 talented elites who have experienced the battle of the empire. If they are tragic enough to play 60,000 to 70,000 pairs of talents, there will be no problem at all. Since the Han Dynasty is a rented Roman barbarian, of course it is dangerous and where to use it. The proportion of dual talents will also increase.

At that time, if you want to send it back like this, if Rome can't make room for a citizen, then wait for the Eagle Banner Legion to fight the Roman barbarian army to win. Even if you can win in the end, Rome will lose half of the blood, tens of thousands of pairs of talents plus hundreds of thousands A mixture of talent, or the kind of warrior who has experienced the iron and blood of the imperial battlefield, even the elite of the empire cannot be underestimated.

"There is this kind of operation, I don't know." Papinian said with a look of regret. He was thinking of selling it to the Han Dynasty before, but now after listening to Pompianus' explanation, it's over. , for the consideration of the Roman Empire, it is better to be realistic and don't act dead.

"Yeah, there is still this kind of operation." Pompianus rolled his eyes, "So even if you want to rent the Han room, you can't rent it. We have to rent all these people to Guishuang. Don't worry, we have Rome With a blood transfusion in the back, Guishuang will not die too quickly."

"Are you sure you can rent all of it to Guishuang?" Papinian just didn't turn his mind around before, but now he turned around and after he figured it out, he found a big problem, that is, Guishuang couldn't eat it at all. , How bold Guishuang is to dare to do this.

"Trust is cultivated gradually, so don't worry." Pompianus said with a smile, "Anyway, we will definitely not smash Guishuang's plate in the early days, just to send these people to die and become disabled, so as to alleviate the burden on these people. The impact of our country's system, so even if Guishuang turned these people into consumables and killed them on the battlefield, we would at most mourn and collect pensions."

"..." Papinian saw Pompianus showing a mournful expression, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and then looked at Pompianus as if remembering something, "I seem to have heard something else Meaning, say, 'early'?"

"Nonsense, of course it is in the early stage, and there is no way to recover in the later stage. Of course, Rome must help Guishuang. The empire is inherently extinct, but some empires need help. When the time comes, we will talk to the Han Dynasty when the situation is not good. We will carry it back To stab Guishuang, steal Guishuang's assets, board the ship and leave, and the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to destroy Guishuang." Pompianus said that I had already prepared the operation.

"What if the Han Dynasty doesn't agree?" Papinian said, rolling his eyes.
