Chapter 292 This is Chang'an

 As the emperor of the Han Dynasty and a time traveler, he naturally possesses the ability to observe words and emotions.

"You are Sasanian businessmen," Liu Chan said with a smile: "I am just a commoner of the Han Dynasty. I have never been to Sassanid. I am just curious."

Listen to what Liu Chan said,

Brother Salotto, it’s a big sigh of relief.

Because there is some truth in what Liu Chan said.

People are curious about strange countries, and they are also curious about big men. This is also a very normal thing.

"My lord, please don't be angry..." Samis said: "Although my two brothers and I have not been in Chang'an for a long time,..." she said,

Somewhat proudly, he said: "We Sasanians have a more muscular physique."

After saying this,

He looked outside the door. Outside were the entourage brought by Liu Chan, who were relatively petite.

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed loudly when he heard this: "So what the girl means is that we Han Dynasty people are not as good as you Sasanians in physical fitness, so once we go to the battlefield, our Han army will be at a disadvantage?



"Exactly!" Samith nodded.

But as soon as Samis finished speaking, Salode said again: "My dear, please bear with me, my little sister is talking nonsense. How can it be decided by physical fitness alone on the battlefield?"

"Second brother is surprised by this!" Samith retorted: "People with strong bodies have an advantage when facing thin people. Why don't they rely on their bodies?"

As soon as Samis finished speaking, Nuoqi, who had been chatting and laughing with her just now, said: "Miss Samis must have never been on the battlefield... Everything is changing rapidly on the battlefield.

Relying solely on your body to win the war,

This is absolutely impossible."

"I don't believe it..." Samith started discussing with Nuoqi again.

However, Liu Chan also learned some characteristics of the Sasanian Dynasty from Samis's words, that is, the people of the Sasanian Dynasty should be physically strong and mainly rely on strength to win.

Liu Chan was actually really concerned about the Sasanian Dynasty. Although the Sasanian Dynasty was far away from Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it bordered the Han Dynasty.

Because the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Region of the Han Dynasty is now bordering the Sasanian Dynasty. This was something Liu Chan knew when he conquered Dawan in the west.

Originally, Dawan was bordering the Kushan Empire. Just before Liu Chan's western expedition to Dawan, the Sasanian Empire captured the northern part of the Kushan Empire, and its border had reached the Dawan Kingdom.

The Han Dynasty has developed rapidly in the past few years. The main reason is that the Han Dynasty reopened the Hexi Corridor and brought the countries in the Western Regions into the scope of its rule. Many commodities of the Han Dynasty,

Able to be exported to the Western Regions.

But this Sasanian dynasty is a newly rising country. If this country is too strong,

Maybe they will continue to expand eastward. If so, the Western Regions that the Han Dynasty finally managed to penetrate may be blocked by the Sasanian Dynasty.

Now he doesn't seem so worried.

If it is true as Samis said, the Sassanid Dynasty was nothing more than that. They advocated more strength, which is harder than fists.

The Han Dynasty competed not only with fists, but also with brains and national strength.

While several people were talking, a servant came in carrying a big cloth bag from outside. The bag looked bulging.

"Earth egg?" Liu Chan was immediately surprised.

"Exactly!" Salode said: "We didn't bring much this time. We just bring a few baked eggs with us for easy consumption when we go out."

"This is all the eggs we have left." Salode pointed at the bag and said.

Liu Chan didn't care about this. He immediately opened the bag and looked at the full bag of potatoes, which was about the size of an adult's fist.

‘Oh, Potato, I haven’t known your taste for more than ten years.’

‘For this bag of potatoes, how many shredded potatoes should be fried, and how many potatoes should be stewed for beef stew.’

Liu Chan looked at the bag of potatoes and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Valley haze

"I want all of these!" Liu Chan put down the potatoes and said affirmatively: "I also want all of your other spices and golden grains."

"All...all...all?" Samith's eyes widened and he suddenly stuttered.

"Yes, I want them all!" Liu Chan answered affirmatively.

Samis and Saloto were both overjoyed. They didn't know why Saloto brought these Han Dynasty people back just now. They thought maybe they just wanted to buy some spices.

Only now did they know that they had brought a big customer.

‘This man...he is a businessman from the Han Dynasty?’ Samis thought secretly.

Salotosarod doesn’t have so many doubts. They only care about selling all the goods, and they don’t care about anything else.

"Boss Sa!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "I wonder if I can send these things to my home?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Salotto immediately agreed: "We will arrange to load the car later and deliver it to your residence. I wonder where your residence is?"

Although he promised to deliver the goods to his door, Salotto was still a little worried. After all, this is Chang'an, and foreign businessmen like them still need to be more cautious.

"South of the city, Imperial City Street!" Liu Chan said.

"Imperial City Street?" Sallotto was a little surprised. No wonder this man had such a big appetite and bought all their goods as soon as he came up. It turned out that he was really a noble man.

Although they arrived in Chang'an not long ago, they also knew about Chang'an City's South Imperial City Street. This Imperial City Street is located just outside the south gate of Weiyang Palace, the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty, and is a wide street running from south to north.

The North Street entrance of Huangcheng Street is only a few hundred steps away from the South Gate of Weiyang Palace, while the South Street entrance is the South Gate of Chang'an City.

As a nobleman living on Imperial City Street, Sallotto's original worries were immediately forgotten.

Why?

Because when they first arrived in Chang'an, according to regulations, they needed to report to the government. The government of the Han Dynasty would provide them with some protection, but they needed to pay a certain amount of commodity tax to the Han court.

"Boss Sa, can you load the car now and come with me to my house to get the money?" Liu Chan asked deliberately.

However, Salotto suddenly had a problem. He paused and asked: "Mr. Wen, we don't accept gold and silver. Do we need to exchange some specialties from big men?"

Salotto came to Chang'an for business, and naturally he had to sell things when doing business, but in this era, he didn't particularly value money, because he couldn't use the big man's money when he brought it back to Sassanid, so he might as well exchange it for

Goods.

"What does Boss Sa want to exchange for?" Liu Chan asked.

In fact, not only merchants from the Western Regions, but also merchants from the Han, Wei and Wu kingdoms, many of them traded with each other through barter.

Wei merchants transported Wei's goods to the Han Dynasty in exchange for some Shu wine, maltose, Shu paper, Shu brocade and other items; and Han merchants would also use the same method to exchange for some Wei and Wu goods.

As for the businessmen in the Western Regions, they prefer this method of trading.

Because things from the Han Dynasty are worth a lot of money in the Western Regions, such as silk, tea, porcelain and other items, which are much more valuable than charging money directly.

Sallotto thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Wen, we Sasanians like your silks, porcelain, and Shu paper very much. If Mr. Wen agrees, we would like to exchange some silk, porcelain, and Shu paper."

.."
