After that, Chen Deng naturally invited the group of people to eat and drink. Although many dishes were not to the taste of the Romans, but how should I put it, Chen Xi was a foodie, as everyone in the Han Dynasty knew, and the dishes he studied were enough to satisfy the Romans.
Man licks the plate.
Of course, there were not a few Han Dynasty people who licked their plates after eating, so in the end Chen Deng kept silent and did not say what the food was made of. In fact, the Romans were quite happy eating. This was one of the few occasions when the Romans did not open their mouths to compare.
Of course, after this time, Chen Deng pointed out to Wu Xi that several people in the Roman envoy might be nobles, and gave many examples. In the end, Wu Xi, who had been traveling all the way, had to admit that this was very possible.
things.
But this is nothing. After all, Ganassis is the Duke of a Roman border county and has a lot of resources. It is not impossible to find a few Roman nobles who are willing to come to the Han Dynasty.
After staying in Xiapi for a few days, the Romans did see the prosperity of Xuzhou. Silk and celadon, which were cheaper than gold, could be taken away with just one gold coin here, so the Romans swept them away as if they were smoking.
goods.
Different from the time in Sichuan and Shu, the prosperity of Shu County is real, and the splendor of Shu Brocade is also real. The problem is that Wu Xi did not take them into Chengdu, nor did he give them a chance to shop for goods.
In the end, when Wu Xi really couldn't stand it, he forcibly took the delegation away. Chen Deng saw that the goods bought by these Daqin people were not good, so before leaving, he gave them some genuine Sichuan brocade and a set of
White porcelain tea set and a mirror.
There was no way, Shu brocade was very expensive, so Chen Deng still took it from his own warehouse and gave it to the envoys of Da Qin. As for the white porcelain tea sets and mirrors, the output is a little higher now. Chen Deng also had a few sets, so he took out one.
When it was given to the envoys, the envoys almost went blind.
"Chen Deng..." A Roman man spoke harsh Chinese and grabbed Chen Deng, hoping to talk to Chen Deng.
"Can this kind of treasure from your country be sold?" The Romans' eyes turned red. They thought celadon was a rare treasure before, but when white porcelain and mirrors came out, the Romans' eyes turned red.
"I can't make the decision on this. This is all mine, and I'm giving it to you as a parting gift." Chen Deng said helplessly that he couldn't make the decision.
Looking at the Roman whose eyes were about to burst with blood, Chen Deng couldn't help but shook his head. No wonder he was a barbarian. No matter how precious he was, he couldn't tell the truth in front of others. Isn't he waiting to be slaughtered?
After watching the Romans leave, Chen Deng quickly sent people to Yecheng. He wanted to talk to Li You. As for whether the Romans came to meet the emperor or to meet Liu Bei, they must meet Liu Bei now. Chen Deng could almost tell by now.
, the opponent's Chinese is also called "two swords". As long as Li You and others hold it, they will come to meet Liu Bei.
As for Liu Bei wondering why he was given an audience, that's okay. Li You can definitely handle it. Given his Chinese proficiency, it's not difficult!
Of course, it’s not just this aspect. Chen Deng also wanted to inform his merchants to quickly collect white porcelain and mirrors. Although these two items were also considered luxuries in the Han Dynasty, they were nothing. The Romans just gave Chen Deng gifts.
Got a piece of beautiful jade.
Although it was expensive in the Central Plains, it was even more expensive in Rome. The Romans bought porcelain, silk and mirrors, which seemed to Chen Deng to be mindless. Chen Deng himself couldn't stand the high price.
The other party was directly trading gold and jade with them. Chen Deng's heart was beating wildly when he saw it. It would be unreasonable not to cut off such a piece of fat meat.
The real nobles in Rome on the other side were almost crazy with excitement. There was no shortage of gold there. As for jade, the Romans did not use such things. For them, it was just stone. As for white porcelain, mirrors, and Shu brocade, these
But a rare treasure.
"As expected of the legendary rich empire of porcelain and silk, we should die and rest in peace. They have charged at least twenty times the toll, and they have not sent us the real treasures at all!" Serali said with a look on his face at first!
Excited, then thought of rest.
"Fuck you and rest in peace!" As soon as Serali said this, the other four Roman nobles also angrily yelled. Anyone who thought that their family was charged twenty times the travel expenses by the enemy wanted to kill the other party.
But having said that, many of the fights between Rome and Parthia were over silk and porcelain. Later, Byzantium and Persia fought a twenty-year-long "Silk War". To put it bluntly, it was Persia's silk toll collection.
's too high.
Of course, there was no result in that war. It lasted for twenty years, and the money spent by Byzantium to buy silk every year brought a lot of blood to Persia. Naturally, it ended in nothing. After all, for the Romans, silk was indispensable.
…
In the end, I could only endure twenty times the travel expenses. Should I wear it or should I wear it? Is a nobleman still considered a nobleman if he doesn't wear silk?
"We can negotiate with His Majesty the Emperor of the Salis people. We can buy it at ten times the price. In this way, we can save half of the cost, and the Salis people can make ten times more." Serali's eyes were shining.
Said, "Let our two families fight this bastard An Xi to death."
"They charge twenty times our tolls and still don't give us good goods. If our senators in the Senate see these things, they will probably be willing to buy them even if they lose all their money. For the sake of the empire, don't go bankrupt and let us die and rest in peace!" There was a Roman nobleman!
shouted excitedly.
"Oh yeah~" Several other people also yelled, and they once again found a reason why they must kill An Xi.
"What do you think they are talking about?" Wu Xi turned to An Yue and asked.
"They are talking about dying and resting in peace." An Yue has now completely become a citizen of the Han Dynasty. When it was determined that the Han people needed a household registration, An Yue begged Chen Deng to fill in a household registration. As for the place of residence, he filled in the household registration.
It's Wusun.
"Da Qin is so boring, thinking about killing and resting in peace every day." Wu Xi said helplessly, "But it doesn't matter, let them do it. Wu Xi's current understanding of the War of Empires is that fists are reasonable, simple and crude
.”
After walking for a few days, there was another shocking sound, because we passed a city again, a city similar to Xiapi before. This time, someone asked if we had arrived at the capital, and Wu Xi rejected it again.
"You will naturally understand when you get there, instead of asking these questions." Wu Xi rolled his eyes and said. Although he didn't know what Fenggao Construction had become, he was becoming more and more confident along the way.
As the roads became wider and wider, and the places they passed became more and more peaceful, Da Qin's envoys gradually became silent.
From the moment they entered Xuzhou, the prosperity of the Han Empire made them feel cold. With silk and porcelain, the silk golden country linked to legends had stepped out of the myths step by step. This terrifying prosperity!
