Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 3553 Understand, understand?
Back then, Rome was able to arrange several top-level legions to come over for an armed parade. In addition to this matter being related to the trade of Han and Luo, another aspect was that the elders of the Senate told the head of the legions that there might be a chance to prostitute a batch of silk for free.
This statement is very attractive, and the logical chain is very simple. The Han Luo trade was broken because of the existence of Central Asian bandits who robbed the merchants of the Han Dynasty. There must be silk on it.
When the time comes to kill the thieves, those things that belong to the thieves will be seized by the army. Will the Han Dynasty come to ask for it? It may or may not, but it doesn't matter. The seized materials belong to the legion on the expedition, and after one third is handed over to the country, the rest belongs to the legion commander and soldiers. This is the traditional legal principle.
What, you said that this silk was stolen from your home by a certain sand thief, sorry, you went to find a certain sand thief, what, you said that a certain sand thief was killed by our army, so come to me ?
Sorry, this is captured by our army. Do you want to ask for supplies captured by the army?
This standard legal principle is enough for Rome to pick up a batch of silk for nothing, which is why Tacito rushed to attack the local bandits excitedly, but along the way, Tacito did not catch a few thieves who needed to be attacked by himself. bandit.
As for the so-called silk, I picked up some. Unfortunately, there are not many silks that Central Asian thieves can grab. The merchants in the Han Dynasty are not parallel importers. Anyone who dares to come here to do business has no backer. Or the powerful force of the avatar.
So generally they will not be robbed by Central Asian bandits. Do you really think that the situation of Wei's bandit army intercepting and killing is normal? In fact, most of the time, it is not to that extent, and the thieves also need to weigh the cost and output.
As for the short-term stagnation of trade this time, it is more of the habitual use of political tactics by the Central Asian families to put pressure on the Wei and Wu families. They take over the local meaning more quickly.
It's just that Rome's behavior was in line with the expectations of this group of people, but Kou's battle report made this group of aristocratic families realize a real problem. Under this approach, whether the things they get really belong to them.
It seems that the military aristocrats do not rely on tactics to obtain their own strength, these people seem to rely more on their own strength to obtain what they want.
Therefore, the plan of bringing Rome into the country to help wipe out bandits, which was originally intended to be maintained, stalled directly under this kind of reflection. Therefore, in the end, the armed parade of the Ninth Spanish Legion just picked up some, which is not very good, and the number is not too good. Too much silk.
If these silks were placed five years ago, Tachito would definitely say that they are worth the price, but since the Hanluo trade started, the price of silk has dropped sharply, and the quality has also increased rapidly. It is difficult to get tribute-grade silk, but the best ones can still be obtained, so naturally they are not so satisfied with what they have seized.
It can be said that the armed parade confiscation plan is completely over. They just came here to eat and drink for free on Congling for a while. If it wasn’t for a plan to strengthen training for nothing, to be honest, Tachito has lost money this time. up.
Fortunately, such things as military expenses do not need to be considered by Tachito. The armed parade is a plan proposed by the Senate. He is only the executor, and he will pay half of the seized materials. Grandma's home.
On the third day after climbing the mountain, Tachito expressed helplessly that he needed to leave. After all, he had lived for nothing for so long, and there was no gift for Li Jue. Li Jue asked, but Li Jue refused at the beginning.
To be honest, the two sides currently have a blind spot in their thinking. In Li Jue's view, top warhorses like Andalusian horses belong to military supplies. Like Wanma, Dawan would rather fight the Han Dynasty than give the top BMW to the Han Dynasty.
In fact, after leaving the country, Li Jue discovered that the so-called Dawan horse is not the so-called peerless BMW, at least it does not have any absolute advantage compared with the Arabian horse.
As for the Andalusian horse that Tacito rode was even worse than the Andalusian horse, so Li Jue naturally assumed that the Andalusian horse is very precious and will not flow out. The Han Dynasty, not to mention the peerless Andalusian horse.
But this is really a misunderstanding. Among the arms of Rome, cavalry is not the main force. The real main force is heavy infantry. The use of cavalry is very general, so Rome does not pay much attention to war horses.
However, there are some things that God is such a big headache. Drought to death, flood to death, is not a joke. Although the Roman Empire did not form a large-scale cavalry, the Roman Empire has all the top horses in the history of the world after the second century. Ancestors, all top horses including Shires, Andalusians, Friesians, Soviet heavy horses and more.
That's right, the ancestors of these things were all in the Roman Empire, and even the top horse breeds such as Andalusian horses that had been formed in this era were scattered on the territory of Rome, but the Romans didn't form cavalry legions very much.
Because it is too expensive, the horses of ordinary cavalry eat three to four times the refined grains of humans when fighting, and these top horses need to eat three to four times the refined grains of Mongolian horses, so the Romans watched these foodies in the Luoan Empire. Running on the territory means not forming cavalry.
The Andalusian horse that Tacito is now riding was captured by Pompianus in a pasture in Spain. As for the horses raised in the pasture? Save money, consider the cost, these things are so delicious, Sharma will even chew a few bites of wood used as a fence for a horse farm.
So for Pompianus, these horses are not so much raised by him as they are natural miracles belonging to the Spanish region.
To be precise, the input cost of the Romans was basically zero before they thought that the Ninth Spanish Legion was qualified to control this kind of war horse, so they went to Spain to capture a batch and returned.
In fact, there are other optional horse breeds, not much worse than the Andalusian horse, but after combining the cost and subsequent investment resources, Pompianus still chose this stuff.
It's not that it's better than this, but after calculating the follow-up investment costs, Pompianus actually wants to lay off the Ninth Spanish Legion.
After all, if this legion can fight, that's the same thing, but after switching to Andalusian horses, the continuous investment cost is twice as high as that of the first auxiliary, which is 2.5 times that of the ninth Spanish legion. scale.
If Severus hadn't helped to say a few good words, Pompianus would have had a good talk with Tacito after the legion's military expenses after the horse change came out.
After all, it's too expensive. Are you riding a horse? It's too much, it's too delicious, and it needs to be fed, or let's change it back to Arabian horses.
Therefore, in the Roman Empire, war horses were not prohibited for sale, just like the last time they captured a lot of resting Arabian horses. In the end, the Romans decisively sold them at a low price after receiving the order from the Han Dynasty.
Because if the Han Dynasty does not take over, the Romans plan to open the fence to make these horses wild. There is no way, I eat so much fodder a day, and I don’t need it. What are you doing raising you? Get out, you are all liberated.
After all, the Roman Legion really didn’t need war horses very much. Most of the main legions had six or seven hundred cavalry for scouting and hunting for enemies. The main battles were all based on heavy infantry. Their frontal combat capabilities and survivability were beyond the table ,This is enough.
After all, the development of Rome for hundreds of years has accumulated a complete set of heavy infantry combat skills.
This gap in culture and thinking prevented Li Jue from saying that he wanted to buy a batch of Andalusian horses. In fact, as long as Li Jue asked, Tachito was willing to act as a middleman.
Because there are not many horses in the Spanish provinces, and because of their size, there are not many natural enemies, so the scale is quite large. The white-gray shape is very elegant and the body is very strong, but they eat too much. This thing is not included in the list of animal husbandry.
The few state-run horse farms under the name of Pompianus all raise Arabian horses, because this horse is really the most cost-effective, eats less, is fast, has strong explosive power, and is not bad for endurance. As for other European horses All of them are foodies.
The stronger the fighting power, the more you eat. As for the best war horse that can be found in Rome, it is the ancestor of the Frisian horse.
This thing is bigger than the Andalusian horse. Its shoulder height and weight are close to that of a Sharma. Its explosive power is at the top of the horse breed, its speed is also at the top, and its endurance is also of the highest quality. More importantly, it is pure black. In terms of aesthetics, each of these horses is equivalent to a tenth level of beauty.
However, all the advantages of this thing are blocked by the fact that it can be eaten. Its appearance, speed, explosive power, endurance, and body shape are all obtained from eating. It's just so insane.
Therefore, Pompianus shook his head while looking at the top warhorses in his own country who were better than each other, and blacked out all these things.
Raise horses, raise a fart, raise 300,000 horses according to Chen Xi's method, and with the standard of food for these things, I am afraid that it will not eat the supplies of 5 million people a year, Pompianus How big is the heart to raise this kind of thing, isn't the Arabian horse fragrant?
It's not delicious, it's really not delicious at all, the work Li Jue is doing now has actually made it clear, foodies are foodies, Li Jue wants this horse.
"Change horses?" On the night before Tacito was about to leave, after drinking, Kuai Yue started talking to the camp commander of the Ninth Spanish Legion, who was also a part-time quartermaster.
"Why is there a problem?" Kuai Yue said with a normal expression, then opened the secret magic mirror, and played what Li Jue said and what Takito said, without playing the video, and then showed an elusive smile, and took a picture. Pat Frod on the shoulder.
Frod instantly understood, isn't this the reason that his army commander and the Han Dynasty had already negotiated, but he was worried that he would be picked on when he went back, so he found a reason to be caught by the Han Dynasty after drinking too much?
Thinking about the time before because of military expenses, the financial officer saw that their Ninth Spanish Legion was no longer pleasing to the eye, so it was a good idea to quickly get rid of the horse and disappear from the financial officer's eyes first. Thinking of this, Frod finally realized why the tower Chito was the regiment commander at thirty, and he was the camp commander at fifty.
Roma knew that the Han Dynasty liked war horses, and so did Frod.
But Frode never imagined that he could conduct off-the-desk operations with the Han room like this. No wonder he is now the camp leader, and he is already the army leader.
Think about it, my own Ninth Spanish Legion rides a horse. It is tall and stylish, explosive, and super fast.
As for after the sale, what does the Han Dynasty think because the horse is super edible? When the money and the goods are paid off, Chi Yanghou can still go to Rome to smash their dog's head?
After figuring this out, Frode already understood what he was going to do. The head of the legion naturally played the role of a victim who was tricked by the Han Dynasty, and he played a quartermaster who was completely unaware and obeyed the command of the head of the army. Pot you say? The pot was naturally given to the Han Dynasty.
Immediately, Frod grabbed Kuai Yue's hand, smiled and pulled Kuai Yue to watch the horse. According to his estimation, Tachito even negotiated the price.
"Can all these horses be shot?" Kuai Yue looked at Frode and asked with a smile.
"Of course." Frode nodded, "But our Ninth Spanish Legion is cavalry. We ride horses when we come here, and we need to ride horses when we go back."
"No problem, 5,100 Arabian horses are ready." Kuai Yue's brain has been running at super high speed. In fact, Frod's performance has made Kuai Yue understand something. The top horses in Rome are not Prohibited items, if deduced from this point, Kuai Yue realized something else, that is, the guy in front of him might be thinking wrong.
"Arabian horses are not as good as our horses." Frod said with a smile, and he almost said directly that he had to pay more, while Kuai Yue also smiled and dragged Frod to the treasury in Congling.
The treasury was full of silk, and Kuai Yue personally opened several locked boxes. The tribute-grade silk shone brightly under the firelight, and Frod couldn't even take his eyes off it.
"How about these goods?" Kuai Yue said with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"
At this moment, Frode fully understood how strong Tachito was, so he bought these twelve boxes of tribute-level silk, and the matter could be done, not to mention thousands of pieces of top-grade silk and a large amount of top-grade silk. , must be changed, after this village, there will be no such shop.
Kuaiyue was exchanged at a premium, because BMWs were really precious in the Han Dynasty. For a dozen BMWs that could improve the breed of horses, the Han Dynasty could do such things as start a war. A mere 20,000 silks is a matter. ?
For Rome, these silks are very precious, but for Li Jue, they are all gifts from the aristocratic family passing by the mountain.
But for Frod, his eyes were dazzled. He was already amazed by Tachito, and he was able to exchange more than 5,000 war horses for so many top-quality silks.
"How?" Kuai Yue asked with a smile.
How else? Of course it is changed.
The next day, Tacito, who was drunk by Ma Feisan, hadn’t woken up yet. The camp leader had already carried Tacito into the car and drove back to Rome. To show that I was cheated.
But Frodo would not ask this kind of question. After all, this might be Tachito's thousand-layer routine, so just obediently carry it away and don't ask any questions.
"All of them stayed." Li Jue looked at the more than 5,000 Andalusian horses in front of him with red faces. He really didn't expect Kuai Yue to keep all the horses.
"It's all said, just leave it to me." Kuai Yue said flatly, "Find some horse breeders to raise them well. These horses are not castrated and can be bred and bred. I will also transfer a batch to the Central Plains for them to breed. Bar."
"All these matters are left to you to solve." Li Jue said indifferently, and then rushed directly to the tallest horse, turned over directly, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch immediately galloped wildly. Terrible, Li Jue laughed wildly.
"BMW, it's indeed a BMW!" Guo Si and Fan Chou were equally excited. As for Tachito's friendship, forget it, Sansha has already left it behind, and made the other's horse run away, talking about a fart friendship.
"Hey, why am I in the car?" Tachito woke up without knowing why, and found himself in the car. What happened.
"Legion Commander, you're awake." Frod opened the car door and greeted him with his head in.
"Oh, we've already set off." Tachito nodded and said.
"This is the material we got in exchange." Forod hurriedly handed a large box of tribute-grade silk to Tachito. Takito took the big box with both hands, opened it, and his eyes were dazzled. Two or three bolts of this silk were allotted from Rome...
"Cough, cough, I took Chi Yanghou's things for nothing." Tachito sighed softly, then poked his head out and found that his horses were all smaller, and he was silent for a while, "Where are our horses?"
Frodo will stared at Tacito closely, seeing the change in Tacito's expression, he couldn't help admiring him, this acting skill is really amazing!
"Ah, didn't the legion commander order me to change the silk?" Frode also prepared for this moment for a long time, and immediately screamed and cooperated.
Tachito was taken aback when he heard the words, and instantly seemed to understand what he was yelling at. Afterwards, a group of centurions around him took advantage of it and understood Tachito's "real" thoughts from Frod's hint. The tribune quickly persuaded him, what? There is a lot of silk, and everyone has a share. One of his soldiers has two top-grade silks, plus an Arabian horse, and there are 10,000 top-grade top-grade silks left.
After hearing this, Tachito looked at twelve boxes of tributes totaling three hundred and sixty horses, and realized how much they had exchanged. He knew that he had made a lot of money in this business, but he said no mercy.
Of course everyone else understands, understands.
