Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Ganasis, I think your legion is not very capable of fighting, and it still looks old and weak." Li Jue was with Ganassis at this time, and when he saw Ganassis headquarters at the Arc de Triomphe, Li Jue complained on the spot up.

"Compared with your Xiliang iron cavalry, most of the legions are not very capable of fighting." Ganassis was not angry because of Li Jue's words, but said with a smile, "The positioning is different. My legion is mainly In order to suppress and defend, it does not need too much combat power."

"It's better to be able to fight a little bit, at least when you're intruded into the headquarters like this, you still have a bit of resistance." Li Jue persuaded from the standpoint of a good friend.

"It's actually impossible for most opponents to hit my headquarters." Ganassis said helplessly. When he was fighting people, he usually did a good job of investigation, and the legion made targeted configurations. That time, it was pure accident.

"Is it still mainly suppressed by bows and arrows now? I'll bring you my brother next time and let you see it." Li Jue recalled the rain of arrows that filled the sky in Ganassis back then, and said with some displeasure. Arrow rain.

"Mid-range and long-range suppression, scheduling cross-retreat, and reducing engagement." Ganassis' tactics are very simple, and they belong to the kind that fights if he wins, and runs if he can't win.

"The damage of light arrows is too low. When encountering heavy cavalry, we can only deliver food." Li Jue explained casually.

"That's true." Ganassis did not deny this, "But now the eastern provinces are doing well, I'm more of a farmer over there, and I don't need much preparation. I can trust your Han family. , we don't need to fight, do we?"

Ganassis' words made Li Jue very comfortable, so he nodded accordingly. Thinking about it, too, after the fall of Anxi, Rome's eastern province advanced to the Zagros Mountains, and Ganassis, who managed the Mesopotamia, was more It is equivalent to farming.

In the event of a war, even with Li Jue's empty mind, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty and Rome to clash in the Median region in a short period of time, which is unrealistic.

"So it doesn't need too many changes, which is good." Ganassis said with a smile, "We can do a little business when we have time. Do you have silk or something over there? There are a lot of silk in the eastern provinces. I heard that you want horses, and I still have a few horses here..."

Li Jue's big elbow directly pulled Ganassis back. You have a horse. You have said it earlier. Brother San doesn't have a horse yet. Even if the horse is smaller, it can't compare with a Shire horse. It is also inevitable.

The reduction in the price of silk did not reduce the amount of gold coins consumed by Rome as a whole on silk. On the contrary, there was a considerable increase, which was almost the same as Chen Xi's previous estimate.

After all, silk was a luxury item for the Romans in the past, but because it was a rigid item for the nobles, the Roman nobles could only buy it with money.

But the current situation has changed a lot. The so-called luxury goods are a matter of grade and circle. The actual plate is not big, but after the Han Dynasty intervened, the price of silk dropped, and Roman citizens could afford it. became a necessity.

After all, the Mediterranean climate is only suitable for wearing silk products, and Rome itself does not produce silk, so after the trade between the two sides started, the price of silk dropped, but the demand exploded. So far, the supply of silk is still in a state of less than demand.

For this reason, there are currently a large number of mulberry gardens, hydraulic silk reeling and other messy silkworm industries in the Central Plains, but they still cannot withstand the consumption of Rome.

This time, Ganassis also tried to solve the problem when he came to Italy to participate in the meeting because the silk quota in the eastern provinces was not enough. As a result, Pompianus made a long list and let Ganassis realize that it seems that everyone’s quota It's not enough, so I still have to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and I also plan to hook up with Li Jue and others.

As for smuggling or not, Ganassis doesn't care. Does he care about such things as a dignified Border County Duke? Even if I get the silk, it has been digested in the eastern provinces, and it is impossible to interfere with your domestic sales channels.

The only possible hidden danger is because the scale is too large, and then the financial officer said that Ganassis embezzled state-owned assets or something. Taxes have been paid for the goods that come, this is the distribution data through special channels, okay?

As far as the Roman Empire is concerned, except for the fact that Ganassis can be found in the tax inspection, it is impossible to find out the rest, so don't panic, let me open the channel today.

"What is the horse like? How big and how many are there?" Li Jue hugged Ganassis, looking like an old brother he hadn't seen for many years.

"You have also seen our Roman war horses. The quality is good. I recently heard that your Han Dynasty horses are relatively rare. There are no three, so I found three in the eastern province." Ganassis smiled and expressed his enthusiasm. Foals are not a problem.

Ganassis found more than a dozen horses, not three. Because of the climate in Europe, European cold-blooded horses have always been the top war horses in the world. Andalusian horses are definitely the top war horses in the Han Dynasty. , in Europe, it can only be said to be of the highest level.

Such a good foundation has led to the fact that there are quite a lot of horses in Rome, just like what Odenatus said to Adou at the time, there are three horses in my stable that have separated from the body, but Rome People don't ride these things very much, because they are too conspicuous.

Ganassis searched in the eastern provinces and found more than a dozen of these things, planning to do a small business with the Han Dynasty and open up channels or something.

"You did a good job, good brother. Go back to your side. It's hard to find a horse on our side." Li Jue patted Ganassis on the shoulder like a brother.

"It's like this. This horse itself is prepared for you. You can just ride it away later." Ganassis said with a smile, horses are not important, there are many in Spain and Portugal, silk is the most important.

"You are indeed our closest friend. If you give me another horse, we still have one horse missing from the Four Heavenly Kings of Liangzhou." Guo Bang was somewhat moral, at least he knew how to fight for Hua Xiong. The three of them rode divine horses, but Hua Xiong didn't have one.

"Ah, that's not a problem. I'll look for it later. It shouldn't take long." Ganassis didn't care, since he doesn't ride this kind of thing anyway. "It's actually like this. I want to find a way for silk to enter. You also know that there is a big shortage of silk on our side, a group of regular troops in the eastern provinces can accept silk instead of food, but there is not enough silk on my side."

Before Ganassis finished speaking, the three of Li Jue began to take care of everything, "No problem, no problem, we can collect some silk from the big families every year, and transfer it to you when the time comes."

Ganassis was silent for a while, what you confiscated is not enough.

Tachito overturned Sansha's warehouse. Silk is all top-level products. The problem is that the sum is so small. To distribute to the citizens of the eastern provinces, what is needed is not the grade, but the quantity.

"It's like this, the ones you received are not enough. What I mean is, why don't you try to match me up with my brother and find a large chamber of commerce." Ganassis sighed and said, the amount you received was only a small amount. Enough teething, I need a mass shipping chamber.

"Ah, that's it. Then I'll find you one, the Wu family. The Wu family specializes in the Shu brocade business." Li Jue felt that he could help because of his relationship with Ganassis. It's quite familiar, that Wu Yan or something has stayed with him for a while, okay, just introduce this person to Ganassis.

"The Wu family? Are they in the Shu brocade business?" Ganassis nodded upon hearing this, which is very good.

"The Wu family is one of the five wealthy merchants in the Han Dynasty. They have a big silk business. If the Duke of Ganassis is interested, he can indeed get in touch with him." Chunyu Qiong, who was eavesdropping on the side, also said slowly, "Of course. Yuan's side also produces silk, but the output is average."

The Yuan family is also engaged in the silkworm industry here in the Ural Mountains. In fact, the core of the ancient small-scale peasant economy was agriculture and mulberry. Bo spring silkworms, silk production can not get up.

"It's not up to me to make a deal with the Yuan family." Ganassis said with a smile.

In fact, the small-scale high-quality silk trade between the eastern provinces and the Yuan family has never stopped. Ganassis even specially set up a law enforcement team for this purpose. If caught, they will be confiscated on the grounds of smuggling and confiscated in the treasury. If you think about it carefully, if you really want to deny the transaction, what will happen like this?

What a joke, if it is really not allowed to trade at all, Ganassis' management ability for the eastern provinces will not be like this anyway. This situation can only show that Ganassis itself is indulging, plus There is a high probability that Ganassis himself is doing black work.

The ones that were caught might not have cleared the checkpoint completely, at least the goods that had not been reported to Ganassis, otherwise, the Yuan family's shipments could be called smuggling? Even if the top group of people didn't speak, at least they maintained an attitude of acquiescence.

Otherwise, just living in Nigel, Eastern Europe, would be a trouble for those engaged in silk business.

Therefore, Chunyu Qiong, who took wine bags and rice bags as his core ability, instantly understood what Ganassis meant. Isn't this because other aspects were not in place? Understand, they understand this very well, as long as there is a need, it will definitely be done, no matter what, it is better than having no desires and no demands. There are too many, too many.
