Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

On Cao Cao’s side, because Liu Ba needs to anchor the relationship with Rome, the output of the sugar factory is basically supplied to the eastern border counties of Rome. Sugar is used as a strategic material, and the conditions offered by the eastern border counties are very good. This is a Roman veteran The court also knew that there was even a fuss about reducing the sugar ration in the eastern border counties, but it ended up being nothing, but it was enough to show how big this matter was.

Let's put it this way, without the Duke of Ganassis standing there, as far as the group of people in the eastern border counties, the industry of buying sugar from the Kandahar area has long been taken back by the group of Senate.

By the way, this is why the plan to open up the Atlantic requires Duke Nigel to personally lead the team. Without the Duke leading the team, it would have to be confiscated.

But because of the duke behind him, this messed up the matter, and it was extremely stressful for Gliuss, so when he sent the urgent secret letter to the eastern border county, he explained the current situation in detail and hinted that It is necessary to organize troops to exert pressure and so on.

After all, this is not a little money, ninety million denarii, even if you raise the Roman Eagle Banner Legion, you can raise almost ten of them. Now the upper and lower lips of the Han Dynasty are touched like this, and this matter will stop first, but Where is the money? What about sugar? What about human input?

It's not that Gliuss is irrational, but that this matter is really big, and the nobles and citizen groups involved in this matter in the eastern border counties will definitely go crazy when they hear the news.

Gliuss didn't understand why the Shangshu Pushe of the Han Dynasty could say so easily that the incident had been revealed in advance, and asked Rome to withdraw 200 million denari in advance!

How big is this face? You must know that this is a material of 200 million denari. Even Pompianus needs the consent of the entire Roman Senate to pass it. The problem is that the Roman Senate has a brain hole to agree to such a thing!

However, the cursing in my heart was the same, as an envoy I still had to do what I should do, so Chen Xi's letter was delivered to Pompianus in the most efficient way.

"Pompianus, you are also a member of the Claudius family, so it is not good for the current owner." Caesar sat in the Senate and watched Pompianus alter the year-end settlement report. Know that this is not real data.

"It's okay. If you lack money, you can go to the private treasury of the Claudius family to get it. The country's money should be used less." Pompianus said calmly.

Pompianus has not resisted the fact that he is a close aristocrat of Claudius recently, because it is meaningless. Except for the outsiders and businessmen who mixed in, the remaining 80% of the Senate are related to Claudius has nothing to do with it. In the past, everyone cooperated with the new emperor and pretended to suppress Claudius. Now the emperor is also Claudius, so he pretended to be a hammer! Me too!

"Is there really a difference?" Caesar asked suspiciously. The difference between the private treasury of the Claudius family and the treasury is probably that the private treasury of the Claudius family has more money than the treasury. Other really no difference.

"I just realized that there are other ways to hide money, so that the country looks like it has no money, but in fact it has always been rich." Pompianus said with a smile, "Besides, the treasury has no money. The head of state continued to give bonuses to soldiers with money from his private treasury.”

"Financial officer, you need to check the urgent secret report from the Han Dynasty." The guard took the secret report from Gliuss and sent it over after a series of checks.

"Let me see, it's rare. Did something happen to the Han Dynasty?" Pompianus said gently with a smile on his face. Compared with Zhengshi's hard work, there are only a few years left before being buried. In this case, Pompianus has been well maintained in this life and can live for more than ten years.

After receiving the secret letter, Pompianus saw that it was not the secret letter from Grius, but the letter from Chen Xi. Pompianus had obtained Guishuang's highest-grade heart-linking beads, and Having studied the characters of the Han Dynasty, with the combination of the two, I can accurately understand the meaning of Chen Xixin.

As soon as the letter was opened, Pompianus was still laughing at the beginning, thinking that the Minister of the Han Dynasty had shot at him, the Roman treasurer, as long as the matter was not too big, he would still help if he could. As the contents of the letter progressed, Pompianus couldn't hold back his smile, and even his complexion gradually became ugly.

It’s not materials worth 200 million denarius. For this kind of thing, Pompianus either agrees or disagrees, and there will be no embarrassment. The described economic operation of Liu Ba under Han Sikong Cao Cao is as visual as Pompianus himself.

However, now that Liu Ba had a thunderstorm, Chen Xi also wrote in the letter how big the thunder was, and Pompianus even had a feeling of seeing himself in the future.

"Find Dio!" After reading the letter, Pompianus couldn't help shaking, and his face turned pale, but he asked the guards to notify Cassius Dio immediately.

Soon Dio rushed over and looked at Pompianus with a strange expression. Although he was also a member of the Senate, he had very little contact with other people.

Dio's hobbies are sorting out historiography, collecting contemporary materials, and writing diaries. This guy collected and sorted out the history from the reign of Rome to the Severus era. This guy made the prehistoric data on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire in later generations.

"Caesar's dictator, Pompianus' treasurer." Dio bowed slightly to salute the two, Caesar waved his hand perfunctorily, and Pompianus bowed back.

"I remember that you manage all our external and internal intelligence." Pompianus asked Dio.

"Ah, I don't manage information. I just collect and summarize outdated information. If you want to know information, you need to go to Herodian." Dio said very flatly, he is not in charge of information, he just goes there every day While collecting outdated information, organize it so that you can write a diary.

"Bring me all the information about the Han Dynasty under the rule of Cao Sikong." Pompianus ordered decisively after confirming that Dio had this item.

"There are some of these." Dio nodded and said, "I'll get some for you."

Dio left after speaking, while Caesar looked at Pompianus with a strange expression, "Why do I feel that your state is not right?"

"Something happened. Although the letter from the Han Dynasty explained it to a certain extent, and it is indeed logically perfect, I need to check the information carefully to ensure that there are no omissions." Pompianus said very solemnly .

Liu Ba’s early path was almost exactly the same as his path, and the same was true for both parties in raising funds to develop industries, but because of Liu Ba’s excessive thunderstorms, Pompianus was chilled, and he never thought he would do it again With such a result, even Pompianus understood to some extent that Cao Cao's end was the result of Liu Ba's serious overshoot. He was very rational and restrained in this regard.

But just thinking about the situation facing Liu Ba, Pompianus was a little panicked. He really couldn't guarantee that the bastards of the Senate would not do this, especially the Claudius family. Anywhere, the Claudius family can do anything!

As for the fact that other people can't do it in the name of his Pompianus, is this a problem for Claudius? It's the same as if your Pompianus is not named Claudius!

If it is said that the Claudius family did not have a direct line before, such as the close nobles such as Pompianus, and other members of the Claudius family basically had no way to touch porcelain, then now, Severus is crowned by Caesar As the orthodox direct descendant of Claudius, is it a matter of messing around in the name of Pompianus?

Just thinking about it like this, Pompianus' head grew three times. If you say Severus dares, he definitely dares. If Severus takes the lead, the other members of Claudius will have a fart Don't dare, the great Claudius family is united around the new Patriarch, and the whole thing highlights an invincibility, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

Just thinking about it like this made Pompianus' hair stand on end. If this happened, Cao Cao's today would be their Rome's tomorrow!

No, it will only be worse than Cao Cao's today. At least Cao Cao still has the Han Dynasty and Rome to help out. If Rome's growth rate is three times higher, it will be considered as filling the Han Dynasty, which is useless!

Thinking of this, Pompianus's heart skipped a beat, he didn't say anything, this damn loophole must be plugged today, thank you Han Shishu Pushe Chenhou for your pointers.

Based on this letter, even if Liu Ba was not killed in such a way in the information brought by Dio, Pompianus decided to give Cao Cao a hand. The supplies of 200 million denari are indeed a lot, but it is not impossible for Rome to get them. When you come out, it's like returning favors and adding favors.

Dio soon came with a few guards carrying a thick stack of materials. The papermaking technology of the Han Dynasty completely destroyed the clay tablets and papyrus in Rome. Of course, Rome didn’t think it was a cultural invasion. They were Really think this thing is useful.

So Rome spent a large sum of money to buy papermaking from the Han Dynasty. As for printing, the Han Dynasty also used engraving instead of movable type these days. One, blah blah or something.

Of course, these words are not false. Rome’s carving technology is indeed outrageous. There is really nothing to say about this. So after taking papermaking, the Romans, like the Han Dynasty, converted many previous materials into paper. , and due to the convenience of paper books, Rome, like the Han Dynasty, also recorded many things that would not be recorded on clay tablets and bamboo slips before.

However, compared to the Han Dynasty, the Romans got the papermaking technology and first printed a copy of the Latin common norms for the citizens. It cost a lot of money, but the effect...

Well, it strengthened the unity of the text, and further made the barbarians realize that only citizens are the core idea of ​​Roman orthodoxy.

However, because Latin is too difficult for Roman citizens to learn, the commonly used Latin characters are not changes in shape, but a complex system of twists and turns, and there are complex internal and external twists and turns. After citizens get this common specification, they feel that Chinese characters On the contrary, it is better to learn.

In fact, after Latin was popularized by Rome and Christianity back and forth, the reason why it was still finished was that it was too difficult.

After the Roman citizens realized that they really couldn’t learn this kind of writing, and that being an illiterate would be fine, they decisively gave up on themselves. However, after careful study, the citizens with certain self-motivation found that this thing was too difficult to learn. Other high-end scripts proved the high-end of the Romans, so the thousand-character script of Chinese characters was used by the Romans for research.

After all, the trade between the Han Dynasty and Rome is huge these days, and there are many people who come and go between the two sides, and the races of Rome and Han Dynasty are very close. Yellow eyes and skin, in this era without soap, ghosts can tell the difference.

And the natural habit of human beings is to divide people into groups. Compared with the barbarian, who is a race that is quite different from himself at first glance, he comes from another powerful empire, and he is completely the same race as himself. Will actively approach.

After a long time, even professionals in the Han Dynasty have not learned Latin, let alone read and write, while a large number of people in Rome have learned Chinese, and most of the Romans engaged in trade in Chang'an I can even read and write Chinese characters.

No way, compared to Latin, English, and French, which need to constantly add new words and continuously extend the structure, Chinese characters as long as you can know and write a thousand commonly used characters, let alone read books and newspapers , you can write novels...

So the Romans found out that Chinese characters are easy to learn, and the Han Dynasty is a high-end empire like their own. Learning Chinese characters can pretend to be a high-level student in the local area. Many motivated Roman citizens have wandered in the Han Dynasty for a few years. Really After learning Chinese characters, I almost learned the same as the locals in Chang'an.

Rome didn't realize the impact of this kind of thing, and it still had the same attitude as before in the promotion of Latin learning, so the Roman citizens who came back from the Han Dynasty and the members of the Han Dynasty who lived in Rome began to Actively convey Chinese.

According to this rhythm, in about a hundred years at most, Chinese can be mixed into Roman mother tongue. Who makes Latin so difficult to learn, and linguists are extremely painful to learn.

The Roman citizens were abused enough. Think about it, they were originally educated families, but they were forced to become illiterate by Latin, the anti-citizen language popularized by the Roman Empire.

Speaking is still possible, but reading and writing is fine, it really doesn't work.

This is also the reason why there are very few philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians among Roman citizens. They were all abused by Latin. The Roman Empire popularized Latin. After studying hard, the vast majority of Roman citizens realized that Latin Seriously anti-humanity, can't learn!

I can't even learn the characters, and I still have to learn the advanced content later, so I gave up, so there are a large number of illiterate Roman citizens who obviously have the conditions for universal education.

The author went to work, suffering, and by the way, I found that my translation and the current translation seemed to have been severely separated. In my translation back then, the historian in Rome was called Cassios Dion, a reformed Christian That one is called Cyprian, and the boss of the eastern border county is called Ganassis. Now the version has changed to Cassius Dio, Cyprian, Galucis, and a bunch of other people have changed their translations. It made me read like a fake book. Fortunately, I can find it online. It’s absolutely amazing, everyone, please vote and save the new author.
