Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

If Juhu hadn't said the last sentence, the others would probably still be immersed in the great work of the old Yuan's family, but after Juhu said that sentence, these people who have been in court for more than ten years, or even dozens of years Old guy, still can't react.

One and two suddenly realized that they had a considerable understanding of the Yuan family's thoughts, and even used this method. It can be seen that the old Yuan family is still very short of people.

"I think there are some other problems." Liu Ye glanced at the courtiers present, and finally said softly to Jia Xu and others.

"It's just a purpose, a purpose that was deliberately exposed." Chen Xi suddenly said, other people may not have this sensitivity, but later generations use such methods too much, Chen Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Sure enough." Lu Su glanced at Juhu and said, "I was also wondering why Juhu was so careless before. When you say that, I think it makes sense."

"The Yuan family has probably discovered the problem. It's not that they don't have money, but that they have enough money, but they can't buy supplies." Chen Xi smacked the corner of his mouth and said to Jia Xu and others via voice transmission.

"Can't buy supplies?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows. Jia Xu has never encountered a time when money can't buy supplies. The Han Dynasty has always been short of money, and supplies are barely enough. Sometimes silk can be directly used as hard currency.

"Well, after all, it is the land of Wang Xing. There is no shortage of mineral resources, but the lack of those things does not mean that the most commonly used materials are enough. The current development of the old Yuan's family is likely to have locked up the annual production of materials. In addition, it is quite far from the Central Plains, and there is no way to buy it, and there is no place to spend it if you have money, so now you are modeling such a person with a lot of money." Chen Xi teasingly said to the other people.

"In other words, money can't be converted into food and grass, is it the equipment?" Lu Su figured out the situation in two clicks, and couldn't help smiling.

"Well, that's it. Gold, silver mines, and gems are all luxuries. When people are rich, they will become the pursuit of human beings. But if there is no way to meet the basic materials, those things are just jokes." Chen Xi smiled. He said with a smile, "Old Yuan's family can't digest so many things by themselves, they are also trying to figure out a way."

In fact, this is an economic method. If the old Yuan’s family wants to just farm, it’s not a big problem, and if they want to make a fortune, it’s not a big problem. The Yuan family worked hard to arm part of the elite, but Chen Xi can guarantee that the old Yuan family basically used up all the steel they had in reserve.

Unlike precious metals like gold and silver, which are extremely difficult to smelt and only need to be mined to solve the problem, steel is one of the most basic indicators of the country. Since the possession of iron, steel production has basically been on the same level as the country's combat effectiveness. Number.

The old Yuan family was able to hold their noses to accept the Celts. A large part of the reason was that the Celts were one of the earliest peoples who could make iron in the world. As far as the current situation of the Yuan family is concerned, let alone a hundred thousand blacksmiths Yes, cut off two-thirds, and the old Yuan's family of 30,000 people would not have any.

In addition, the technical strength is not enough, the management is not in place, and the indigenous method of blast furnace has not been developed. It is the limit for the blacksmith of old Yuan's family to be able to get it to this level.

Since the materials are not enough, the only choice is to buy this way. After all, their Yuan family still has a Han Empire behind them. Compared with the situation of their Yuan family, the Han Empire is rich in materials. In exchange for a large amount of supplies.

However, this involves another problem. The Yuan family and the Han family are too far apart now. It would be a loss if the basic materials are transported back and forth.

Even though the old Yuan’s family has repeatedly stated that they are rich, the businessman is not a fool. I have traveled so far and the road is so difficult. To send basic supplies there, it is better to drop by and sell silk in Midia.

This is very embarrassing, even the merchants don’t go to the old Yuan’s house, and the rest is left to go to Rome to buy equipment. The problem is that Rome is not second-hand, gems, jade, pearls, agate and other luxuries. Buy it casually, but the iron will be detained for you when you leave the customs.

In this way, the Yuan family's final choice is, I will send a large sum of money to the Han family, and the merchants who send it to the Central Plains will realize that my Yuan family is also a way to make money. The road was repaired, well, in fact, it was not a matter of money. If the Central Plains was willing to send someone to repair this road, the old Yuan's family would be fine at their own expense.

However, the old Yuan's family did not dare to say this, for fear of scaring people away after speaking. This is no longer a matter of money, but purely a matter of people.

The estimate given by Xun Chen is that it will take five years for the Yuan family to build this road alone, taking into account a series of problems such as permafrost, and the various families in the Central Plains will join forces to make the group of guys who are now opening various venues in the Western Regions also It basically only takes two years to get on board.

After all, the road from the west of Yumen Pass to the Western Regions has now been built. After Sima Lang took over the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, he really communicated with the monarchs of various countries gently, and at the same time threatened the ministers of various countries with knives to organize people to build domestic roads.

Now the Thirty-six Kingdoms have been forced to mobilize and work hard to repair the roads in the Western Regions to the level of the county roads originally planned. In this way, what the Yuan family needs to do is to connect their own roads with the roads in the north of the Thirty-six Kingdoms superior.

Only when this road is repaired and business contacts are established, and with the idea that the merchants will not be empty, will the major merchants bring some luxury goods that are in short supply to Sizhao City when they purchase various luxury goods from Sizhao City. At that time, the old Yuan's family will be able to blatantly purchase whatever they want. After all, it is a business transaction, and it needs to be understood.

Even the old Yuan family has already thought about their own future business name. There is no way. The five big businessmen are nothing. None of them voted for the old Yuan family. If the bastards don't take me to play, I'll just build a business by myself, specializing in selling all kinds of top luxury goods.

I didn't see that the gem mines of our old Yuan's family are all at the level of paying tribute to the royal family. What is yours? Take a look, this is the royal gem mine, my house is next door!

As for whether this routine will offend Rome, the Yuan family doesn't care anymore, and you can tell me not to sell the mine right next to it? To support the Yuan family is to support domestic production, and Rome is rubbish. Xu You even has a future slogan in mind.

Of course, the most important thing is that things like gemstone mines were not considered valuable when the Han Dynasty did not play in the past, but since the Romans sent the cut gemstones to the Central Plains, the shining luster has greatly attracted them. Female eyeballs, and then it's over.

The price of gemstones has skyrocketed, and the old Yuan family felt a little sorry if they didn’t use this to cheat money. As for the problem of the Romans’ gemstone exports due to their large-scale sales of gemstones, the old Yuan’s family can’t take care of it anymore. , I'm going to do it anyway, so never mind.

Since we are destined to fight, we, the old Yuan family, are not allowed to disgust you two.

With such an attitude, the old Yuan’s family first came to a royal tribute-level emerald. There is nothing more attractive than a royal family. As for the mine, it’s just buying road money. Don’t be afraid. It's a medium-sized mine, and it's not a loss to use one for OEM!

"I really didn't expect that the old Yuan's family had such an idea." Jia Xu said in amazement. To be honest, if Chen Xi didn't explain, maybe even he would be deceived inadvertently.

"It's a matter of mutual benefit, and in the current situation, I also feel very heartbroken to pay IQ tax to Rome every year." Chen Xi said with a smile.

It was agreed that the Han Dynasty supplied silk, and Rome settled with gold coins, but in the end, gems and jade were used for settlement. After all, compared with gold coins, Rome produced more gems and jade, and the former belonged to hard currency. The latter is a luxury.

Although for the vast majority of people, there is no difference between the two, but for Chen Xi and Pompianus there is a difference.

What Pompianus really wanted to say here did not fully understand the difference, but this did not prevent Pompianus from thinking that it would be more cost-effective to exchange gems and jade, so he dragged it to the end of Han and Rome. The settlement method is gemstone jade silk.

Fortunately, the spending power of the Han Dynasty on jade was beyond the charts, and as long as the cutting level of gems was high enough, the spending power of women was also out of the charts, and with the damned mathematics level of the Romans, the level of gem cutting was indeed very high. Horror, Chen Xi turned all the things he got into currency internally and injected them into the industry.

But if I really want to say it, Chen Xi is still quite upset, because this kind of exchange is equivalent to collecting each other's IQ tax. Although both Pompianus and Chen Xi have made a lot of money, they are still really upset. of.

Therefore, Chen Xi would rather let the IQ tax be taken away by the Yuan family than to be taken away by Rome, at least the former is a proper own person, and the latter is only a hypothetical one.

"IQ tax?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

"You didn't buy gemstones for your wife?" Chen Xi asked casually.

"How can I not buy it? My wife finally became interested in foreign objects. I can not buy it. I bought a lot." Lu Su said very proudly.

Ji Xiang is in a state of no good and no evil, no self and no way. Of course, that was in the past, and now he is somewhat humane, but his own needs are actually very low. However, it was extremely rare to be attracted by shining gems before. Lu Su is of course Buy buy buy!

Lu Su, who had dozens of arms, was chopped off and only two arms remained. Although it hurts a little, but seeing that his wife rarely needs it, Lu Su is very excited to buy it.
