Chapter 3848 Transaction
"Ganasis, I think your legion is not very capable of fighting, it still looks like an old and weak." Li Jue was with Ganasis at this time. Seeing the Ganasis headquarters in the Arc de Triomphe, Li Jue complained on the spot.
"Most legions are not very capable of fighting than your Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Garnasis was not angry about Li Jue's words, but said with a smile, "The positioning is different. My legion is mainly for suppression and assisting defense, and does not require too strong combat power."
"It's better to be able to fight some, at least when you're broken into the headquarters in this way, you'll have some ability to confront each other." Li Jue persuaded from the standpoint of a friend with a good personal relationship.
"It is actually impossible for most opponents to hit my headquarters." Garnasis said helplessly. When he was fighting with people, he usually conducted investigations and the legion made targeted configurations. The time he was hit by Li Jue was purely an accident.
"Is it mainly the suppression of bows and arrows now? I'll bring you my brother to see it next time." Li Jie recalled the arrow rain in Garnasis that year, and said with some displeasure that the iron tool headquarters still ate the arrow rain.
"Medium- and long-range suppression, dispatching cross-retreat, reducing engagement." Garnasis's tactics are very concise, and they are definitely the kind of fighting that can win, and run away if they can't win.
"The damage of light arrows is too low. When encountering heavy cavalry, they can only deliver vegetables." Li Jue explained casually.
"It's true." Garnasis did not deny this, "but the eastern provinces are also good now. I farm more and don't need too much preparation. I can trust your Han Dynasty, so we don't need to fight, right?"
Garnasis's words made Li Jue feel very comfortable, so he nodded. Thinking about it, after resting, the eastern province of Rome advanced to the Zagros Mountains, and Garnasis, which manages the Mesopotamia, was more like farming.
If the war begins, even if Li Jue's empty mind thinks, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty and Rome to conflict in the Midiya region in the short term. This is unrealistic.
"So there is no need for too many changes, it's good." Garnasis said with a smile, "If you have time, we will do some small business. Do you still have silk or something there? There is a lot of silk demand in the eastern province. I heard that you want horses, and I still have a few magic horses here..."
Li Jue's big elbow directly grabbed Garnasis. You should have a divine horse. You should say that the three brothers don't have a divine horse yet. Even if the divine horse is smaller, it is not as good as the Sharma. The divine horse with internal energy leaving the body is hard to come by.
The price reduction of silk did not cause the amount of gold coins consumed by Rome to fall on silk, but instead increased significantly, which is almost the same as Chen Xi’s previous estimate.
After all, silk was a luxury for the Romans in the past, but because this thing was a necessity for the nobles, the Roman nobles could only buy it for money.
But the situation has changed a lot now. The so-called luxury goods are the problem of grade and circle. The actual plate is not big. However, after the Han Dynasty intervened, the price of silk was reduced and Roman citizens could afford it, which became a necessity.
After all, the Mediterranean climate is only suitable for wearing silk products, while Rome does not produce silk itself, so after the trade between the two sides started, the price of silk fell, but the demand exploded. As of now, silk is still in a state of less than demand.
For this reason, a large number of mulberry gardens, hydraulic silk reels and other messy mulberry silk industry have appeared in the Central Plains, but they still cannot withstand the consumption of Rome.
This time, Garnasis also tried to solve the problem when it came to Italy to attend the conference. As a result, Pompianus pulled a long list, which made Garnasis realize that everyone's quota seemed to be insufficient, so he still had to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and he also planned to hook up with Li Jue and others.
As for smuggling or not, Garnasis doesn't care. He is a dignified Duke of the border county and still cares about these things? Even if I got silk, I have digested it in the eastern provinces. It is impossible for me to interfere with your domestic sales channels.
The only possible hidden danger is because the scale is too large. Then the financial officer said that Garnasis embezzled state-owned assets or something. It doesn’t matter. I can file taxes. I just file tax manually. As long as I pay the tax, it is not smuggling. The materials obtained through personal connections are also paid. This is the distribution data of special channels!
In this Roman Empire, except for the tax check, it is impossible to find anything else on Garnasis. OK, so don't panic, let me open the channels today.
"What is the divine horse? How big is it, how many are there?" Li Jue hugged Garnasis, looking like an old brother who had not seen him for many years.
"You have also seen our Roman war horses. The quality is good. I recently heard that you are rare in the Han Dynasty, and none of them have three, so I found three horses in the eastern province." Garnasis smiled and said that the divine horse was not a problem.
Garnasis found more than a dozen magic horses, not three. Due to the climate in Europe, the cold-blooded horses in Europe have always been the world's top war horses. Andalusian horses, which are definitely the top-notch war horses in the Han Dynasty, can only be said to be of top quality in Europe.
Such a good foundation leads to the fact that there are actually quite a lot of divine horses in Rome. Just like what Odenatus said to Adou at that time, there are three war horses with internal energy left in my stable. However, the Romans did not ride these things very much because they were too conspicuous.
Garnasis searched in the eastern province, and found more than a dozen of these things, and was preparing to do some small business with the Han Dynasty to open up channels or something.
"Beautiful, good brother, go back to your side, it's hard to find a magic horse over there." Li Jue patted Garnasis on the shoulder, just like a brother.
"That's right. This horse itself is prepared for you. Just ride it back." Garnasis said with a smile. Horses are not important. There are still many in Spain and Portugal, and silk is the most important.
"You are indeed our most loyal friend. If you give me one more horse, we will have one less horse in Liangzhou." Guo Si was quite honest, at least he knew to fight for Hua Xiong. After all, they are the Four Heavenly Kings of Liangzhou. They can't ride the divine horses three of them, so Hua Xiong doesn't have it.
"Ah, this is not a problem. I will look for it again. It won't take long." Garnasis didn't care. He didn't ride such things anyway. "Actually, it's the case. I want to find a channel for silk to enter. You also know that the silk gap is very large. A group of regular troops in the eastern province can accept silk instead of food and salary payment. My silk is not enough."
Before Garnasis could finish his speech, Li Ju and the other two began to take over the big bags, "No problem, no problem, we can collect some silk from major families every year, and then we will transfer it to you."
Garnasis was silent for a while, what you confiscated was not enough.
Tachito overturned the three fools' warehouses, and silk is all top-notch products. The problem is that it adds up to only a little bit. It is for citizens of the eastern provinces to be given, not the grade, but quantity.
"That's right, what you received is not enough. I mean, why don't you see and match me with me and find a large chamber of commerce?" Garnasis sighed and said, "What you collected is enough to get between your teeth. I need a chamber of commerce for large-scale shipments.
"Ah, that's it, then I'll find you one, the Wu family, the Wu family specializes in Shujin's business." Li Jue felt that he could help because of his relationship with Garnasis. Anyway, that was to make a match. He was quite familiar with the people from the Wu family. Wu Yan and others stayed with him for a while. Okay, just introduce this person to Garnasis.
"Wu family? It's the Shujin business?" Garnasis nodded after hearing this, which was great.
"The Wu family is one of the five great merchants in the Han Dynasty. The silk business is very big. If the Duke of Garnasis is interested, he can really get in touch with one or two." Chunyu Qiong, who was eavesdropping on the side, also spoke slowly, "Of course, the Yuan family also produces silk, but the output is average."
The Yuan family is also engaged in the mulberry silkworm industry in the Ural Mountains. In fact, the core of the small peasant economy in ancient times was the farming and mulberry. The Yuan family is only instinctively promoting it, but the environment here is not very suitable. In addition, they can only create a wave of spring silkworms, so the silk production cannot be increased.
"I can't decide when dealing with the Yuan family." Garnasis said with a smile.
In fact, the small-scale high-quality silk transactions between the eastern province and the Yuan family have never stopped. Garnasis has specially formed a law enforcement team for this purpose. When they caught it, they will check them all on the grounds of smuggling and are confiscated into the treasury, but if they think about it carefully, if the transaction is really not allowed, what will happen?
What a joke? If the transaction is really not allowed at all, Garnasis's management ability for the eastern provinces will not be like this. This situation can only show that Garnasis itself is indulging, and there is a high probability that Garnasis himself is doing bad things.
Those who were arrested might not have completely passed the level, or at least they did not report the goods on Garnasis. Otherwise, the shipment volume of the Yuan family would be called smuggling? Even if the group of people at the top did not speak, at least they would maintain a tacit attitude.
Otherwise, Niger, who is in Eastern Europe alone, will be a trouble for those who are engaged in silk business.
