Chapter 3501 Borrowing a Knife
So much so that Chen Xi's attitude towards this matter in Chang'an is to wait for fun and when Liu Ba has to interfere in major families due to economic restitution one day, the group of people will not bite it, causing the group to disband, and eventually causing Liu Ba Building to collapse. That's what hell.
However, as of now, this unbreakable alliance is still very decent. Liu Ba helped the major families to restore production, and the major families are still willing to trust and tentatively join this new gameplay. As for the matter of telling Chen Xi a small report, we have to say that very famous saying: Can we not talk about trusting such sad things?
In short, the major families in Central Asia have this tone, and the major families seem to be born to adapt to this change in the nature of power struggle, and they soon became like this.
Under this premise, Chen Xi thought about Lu Xun going to Central Asia to fight. It was not so much a battle as a way to let him see what ugly family power is.
However, this is not a big deal. After a period of ugly things, Lu Xun could not do it. Naturally, he would have unlucky times to be even more ugly and not in line with civilized practices. He would be beaten up a few times. After more times, everyone would not be very ugly.
After all, there was a shadow behind all the aristocratic families during this period, and it was very necessary to maintain balance to a certain extent. If the boss walked down from the altar and asked questions, everyone's face would be hot, so even if this matter was difficult to deal with, it could be promoted.
If the unlucky guy had knocked him to death, and finally became a few large clans, wouldn't it be wonderful!
This is also the reason why Chen Xi ignored Lu Xun after throwing him away. It will definitely be done, and the length of time it takes is different at most.
However, Chen Xi never expected Lu Xun to do a better job - given the turmoil in the bandits in Central Asia and the forces of Anxi Restoration intervened in the turmoil, it was necessary for the Roman Empire and the Han Empire to maintain the stability of the Central Asia region and jointly promote the bandit suppression plan.
Garnasis was a very magical governor of the eastern border county of Rome. Although he was the most vulnerable among all the dukes, since the other party was the first to hold Seville's thigh, he was neither transferred to Rome nor ordered to rectify it. He still had the military power of three legions.
After Lu Xun ran away from Cao Cao, he immediately sent someone to send a note to Garnasis. Garnasis did not pay much attention, but sent some people to determine the situation.
After all, east of the Zagros Mountains, in terms of territory, there is no territorial demand for Rome. He neither wants to send troops to conquer or pay any colonial taxes.
But Rome had interests east of the Zagros Mountains. The silk, porcelain, tea and sugar of the Han Dynasty were all indispensable things in Rome at present.
For the Romans, who were the millions of square kilometers east of the Zagros Mountains? The Romans had no interest at all, but silk, porcelain, tea, and sugar were very important necessities, especially sugar.
The Han Dynasty's sugar-making industry has expanded its life, and it has surpassed the share of silk. The Romans are almost no different from those of later Europeans. They think that they can start a war for sugar. Chen Xi also understands this aspect.
Even when Rome strongly demanded the purchase of sugar making technology, Chen Xi asked the Romans to visit the sugar making factory, and then the Romans fell into a collapse - there was no place for sugarcane in such a large Roman Empire!
If there was a large-scale planting of sugarcane in Europe, then what was the purpose of Europeans who risked their lives to engage in large-scale navigation, triangular trade, and traveled to America to build plantations? Isn’t it just for sugar making? Fighting a silk war for silk and for the pricing power of sugar, the country was almost destroyed in the 18th century.
When the Romans were sure that their country could not grow sugar cane, they all doubted their lives, and the Han Dynasty itself had an outrageous demand for sugar, which led to Rome's sanity collapse.
Anyway, as far as Chen Xi knows, the Romans have already made in-depth research on the sea warship technology of the Roman Empire five hundred years ago. After all, the Romans are not stupid. There is still a big difference between warships in the Mediterranean and warships that can actually travel to the ocean. The Romans currently need warships very much.
This is also why Rome, which was not very interested in the observation group plan, quickly formed a group after Serian sent people there.
In order to find a place where sugarcane can be grown, the Roman Senate had almost turned into an evil god. After planting a circle of sugarcane from the Han Dynasty in various provinces in Rome, it was found that it had grown all of them and turned into hemp poles. The Roman Senate directly ordered to go out to sea to find a place where sugarcane can be grown. After eating sugar, there was no way to live without sugar.
In short, the Romans heard that they were crazy again and didn't know how much they would die to go to sea this time. However, with the national strength of this empire, if they insisted on doing it, they would not be much worse than those guys from the 16th and 17th century.
As for the beets and beet sugar-making technology that Rome itself has, Chen Xi really doesn't know. Although he doesn't know, as long as Chen Xi is willing to invest money in research, he will definitely be able to do it. Unfortunately, Chen Xi is too lazy to say it. Rome has now revised the name of the Han Dynasty again. The new name is translated as the country of gold silk and white sugar...
As the Duke of the Eastern Frontier County, Garnasis naturally understood whether it was chaotic or not east of the Zagros Mountains. Rome didn't care at all, but whoever made Roman citizens unable to wear silk or eat candy would have to die for the whole family. This is the will that the imperial citizens fully agree with in the true sense.
The investigation team of Garnasis went to the Midiya Trading City to intervene in the investigation. Due to the riots in Central Asia, the trade volume naturally decreased significantly, which is a very normal situation. However, this is an absolutely unacceptable fact in Garnasis's eyes.
"Bastard, what are the thieves in Central Asia going to face us Roman citizens?" Garnasis said with his eyes on the table, and his eyes were full of fire. Because of the thieves and bandits, the volume of trade shipments in the rear fell by 40% this month, and as more families fell into war, the volume of trade will continue to decline.
"Go and give Aldashire an ultimatum, telling him that Rome needs a stable Central Asia. If you can't do it, don't think that you can survive by hiding next to the Caspian Sea!" Garnasis said with his eyes on fire.
