Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Ma Chao deliberately took people 30 miles out of the city to pick up Tacito's Ninth Spanish Legion. He had no other intentions, just wanted to see the situation where all the tall horses of the Ninth Spanish Legion were gone.

Even if the information did not arrive, Ma Chao still firmly believed that Sansha's persistence in this aspect would definitely destroy Tachito's horse, and the reality was just as he estimated, hehehe.

"Tachito." Ma Chao greeted Tachito who was riding an Arabian horse from a distance on Lifeisha, smiling very proudly, "Where's your horse? Where's your horse?"

"Get lost." Tacito said angrily. Although Tacito was not dissatisfied with the large amount of silk in exchange, as I said before, the Romans did not have the concept of banning the sale of horses. The silk given by Shang Li Jue was of high quality and sufficient quantity, and Tachito really cursed a few words, but being ridiculed by Ma Chao was not a good thing.

"Your horse won't be taken away by Chi Yanghou and the others." Ma Chao scolded with a smile, "Don't tell me that your horse will shrink after going to Congling."

"You don't talk, no one thinks you are dumb." Tachito rolled his eyes, and Ma Chao was slightly taken aback. This situation is not right. If Sansha used dirty tricks, Tachito should be by his side at this time She scolded her and complained, and then dragged him to find trouble with Li Jue.

After all, the relationship between Ma Chao and Tachito is quite good, although Tachito rode a group of very cool horses to Ma Chao's side to expose Ma Chao's face, so Ma Chao sold the news to Li Jue and the others , but the two of them still have a plastic brotherhood no matter what.

"I'm telling the truth, where are you?" Ma Chao said to Tachito with a smile, "Isn't it possible that you can't rob someone? If you were robbed, didn't you brag about your three talents before?"

"You know what a fart, I made a deal with Chi Yanghou and the others with a horse." What does it mean to lose without losing? In Italy, you can say that you were cheated by Chi Yanghou and the others, but of course you have to say yes in front of Ma Chao. Relying on his super eloquence, he agreed to exchange a war horse for a batch of silk.

"As stupid as you are, you can still do business?" Ma Chao mocked wantonly. Li Jue can do business with three animals. He probably got you drunk, took out the paperwork, and pressed your paw up. , and then the money and the goods are settled.

But thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart twitched. He was young back then, and he was played by these three things once. Thinking of this, when Ma Chao looked at Tachito again, his expression was obviously a little bit more difficult .

"What's your expression?" Tachito looked at Ma Chao in displeasure and asked, "Frod brought a box of goods, let Brother Chao open his eyes."

Then a box of glowing silk was opened in front of Ma Chao. Ma Chao was stunned. He could tell the difference between the tribute and the best. A satin dress is still fine.

"Did you see that? Twelve boxes of this level, plus more than 4,000 bolts of top-quality silk, and more than 10,000 high-quality goods." Tachito looked like I didn't lose money, and I made a lot of money.

"It's hard for you, brother." Ma Chao has an extremely distorted concept of the prices of goods in the two countries. Anyway, silk in Rome is very expensive. When Ma Chao returns to Chang'an, he will bring a few boxes of tribute silk with him. Things are really expensive in Rome.

"I forgot, you guy has someone in the Han room." Tachito said angrily.

When Ma Chao came back with a few boxes of tribute silk and sold them in the Roman Senate, someone asked this question. Without even thinking about it, Ma Chao would realize that there are people in the Han Dynasty who just bought some silk. Others didn’t think much about it. After all, I have never seen such an arrogant boy.

Of course, Pompianus wanted to use Ma Chao's line. After all, Ma Chao boasted that he also had face in the Han Dynasty. As a result, Pompianus asked if this line could ship 20,000 pieces of silk every year. Ma Chao thought In order to think about my own situation, there are two or three cats, big and small, and I can't do it.

Then Pompianus was not interested, thinking that Ma Chao probably hooked up with a certain family in the Han Dynasty and could get tributes, but such things as large-scale shipments were impossible for most families in the Han Dynasty Yes, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

In the early days, Pompianus also sent Ma Chao a smuggling certificate. As long as Ma Chao could get it, he could sell it in the state-owned company. to Italy, and sold in the Senate.

After more times, Pompianus also understood that Ma Chao might not be able to get large-scale silk, so he didn't care. A few more boxes of tribute silk raised the happiness of the Roman Senate elders, and saved money. Those people who have made trouble for themselves.

Therefore, Pompianus ignored Ma Chao's behavior.

After all, a few boxes of tributes really can’t solve the problem. For Pompianus, who is in charge of the country’s finances, tens of thousands of high-quality silks are far more meaningful to the country than a few boxes of tributes. After all, the former represents Roman citizens. Happiness, the latter can only be used by Roman Senators.

"Recently, I can't get tribute silk anymore." Ma Chao scratched his head, feeling very helpless. He used to sell such things accumulated by his family, but in the past two years, Ma Chao has sold almost all of them. , and his wife Edra, the princess of Armenia, also likes silk very much, Ma Chao has not much stock.

"Don't you have a lot of face in the Han Dynasty?" Tachito joked. Ma Chao boasted in the Senate, saying that he was equivalent to a lieutenant in the Han Dynasty.

"Fuck off, face can't solve the problem, and the output of this thing is limited." Ma Chao said helplessly. The whole process of tribute-level gadgets is different from other grades. In addition, special Weaver Girls are needed. In addition to state agencies, Only a few aristocratic families will have complete technology.

After all, the tribute-level silk was used by the princes of the Han Dynasty to make court clothes, cloaks, and gowns, so there was not much demand in the past. Now the Roman Empire has really stimulated the silk industry in the Han Dynasty. Cultivation also takes time.

Tachito knew about this matter. In fact, the trade between the two parties in the past few years has greatly promoted the relationship between the two parties, and a lot of public information can be known by checking each other.

Therefore, Rome also knew that the Han Dynasty itself had no way to increase the output of tribute. There was only so much in a year, and what was distributed to Rome may now be almost the same as what the Han Dynasty used for its own use.

"I think I need to find another person here. It is best to find a Weaver Girl who can produce tributes by herself." Ma Chao said whimsically.

"Oh." Tachito nodded, indicating that you are happy.

"By the way, is it all right if you sell the horse?" Ma Chao asked curiously, this is military supplies, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, are you not afraid of being beaten to death?

"It's okay. I'll send someone to Spain to catch another batch later. Generally, no one pays attention to it. Even if they find out, my price is fine." Tachito said rather indifferently.

"Okay." Ma Chao couldn't understand the logic on Rome's side, but he heard good news. Is it on the Spanish side? No problem, there happened to be Ma Chao and his buddies in Spain, so Ma Chao decided to pay a visit and grab a batch himself.

"You want to catch it yourself?" Ma Chao's thoughts were written on his face, can Tachito not understand?

"Am I breaking the law if I catch it myself?" Ma Chao asked angrily.

"That's not true. I'm just telling you that you eat too much of that thing." Tachito said indifferently, "Military expenditure is fixed. If you want to raise it, you need to pay for it yourself."

"I can hold the finance officer's leg." Ma Chao said without morals. Tacito was silent for a while, and then recalled the scene when Ma Chao held Caesar's leg and Virgilio couldn't pull it away. This kind of thing, Ma Chao can really do it.

"Ahem, cough, if you want to hug the financial officer then, remember to find me. As a brother, I will be with you." Tachito said shamelessly. If he was alone, he would really do it. I can't come out, but if Ma Chao has already hugged him, he can also hug his legs from the side for the sake of brotherhood.

Ma Chao glanced at Tachito contemptuously. Ma Chao also had a different sensitivity to this aspect. Tachito obviously wanted to do the same, but he was not thick-skinned enough.

Just like that, Tacito went back to Rome with a batch of silk. During the trip to the eastern border, Ganassis saw that Tacito's horse was a little weird, asked a few questions, and was boxed by Tacito. Tribute silk prevarication.

After all, limited by the output, this item is really in short supply. This is not some kind of hunger marketing, but that it cannot be produced.

As for Sansha, at this time, he finally realized how edible Andalusian horses are, but fortunately, there are a lot of grasslands in Sansha's fief, and there are many kinds of grass. This is the idea of ​​three fools. For Kuai Yue, he has already begun to evaluate the price-performance ratio of this horse.

But fortunately, although the price/performance ratio of Andalusian horses is lower than that of Arabian horses, they can be regarded as relatively balanced horse breeds. The more you eat, the more you eat, but the fighting power is real.

"Ah, I have to send a batch back to the Central Plains." Li Jue said rather painfully.

"Yes, two thousand of them need to be sent back to the Central Plains." Kuai Yue nodded and said, "We lack professional horse breeders here. Although the Qiang people are also very good at it, there is still a big gap compared with the Central Plains. And the horse ate too much."

"Okay, okay, just send a batch." Li Jue said helplessly, he knew it was inevitable.

"Which one of you will go?" Kuai Yue looked at Sansha and asked.

"Let's go together, just go to Shenxiang to solve the problem of internal qi separation." Li Jue thought for a while and said, after all, being drunk by Tachito this time, Sansha can be regarded as a painful experience.
