In Rome, Cai He received a high-level reception and was called the porcelain ambassador.
The porcelain and silk were replaced with real gold and silver. Cai He once again deeply admired his master's vision. The popularity of these two products was beyond his expectation. It was his master who had a vision.
Cai He once again enjoyed the VIP treatment and ate a lot of specialty fruits. Of course, some people were even prepared to offer beautiful women to Cai He. Cai He accepted them but did not touch them. In addition to being a eunuch, more importantly, he
Keep your mission in mind. He is just a manager of wealth. None of this wealth belongs to him, so all the beauties who bribe him do not belong to him, but belong to the Master.
Of course, Cai He did not forget to recruit craftsmen. Although the journey is far away, there are still many people who are willing to go to Daqin to have a look. Those with skills can also get generous wages, while those without skills can only be the lowest level laborers, but even so it is still possible
Many people are willing.
It's a pity that Rome is not as exaggerated as it will be in the future, and has not yet achieved the achievement of 'all roads lead to Rome'. Although Rome's water supply system is already excellent, making Roman bathhouses a special feature, there is nothing wrong with always taking a bath.
Meaning.
Although there is no Colosseum now, bloody gladiatorial fights have become popular in some parts of Rome. Although the scale is small, citizens are very accepting of this bloody entertainment mode.
Cai He was also fortunate enough to be entertained by a member of the Senate and came to a gladiatorial arena specially designed to entertain noble guests. This is a two-story building with a zigzag shape. The middle courtyard is the gladiatorial arena. The nobles can have a good view from the balcony on the second floor.
clear.
Other civilian venues are not so high-end. They are just surrounded by wooden fences, and the audience can only squeeze around the wooden fence.
This way of treating bloody killings as entertainment made Cai He a little uncomfortable. The slave warriors were walking around on the sand with real swords and guns.
None of them seem to know martial arts, Cai He thought, but they have all received training, so their advance and retreat are very organized: "Have these slaves received training?"
"Yes, the gladiatorial arena will hire experienced fighters to train them for the enjoyment of the fighting." The congressman said: "Gladiators are not just slaves, some brave citizens will also join in to prove their courage. And the most powerful among them are
People can become trainers.”
As they spoke, the two slave warriors changed. The slave holding a sword and shield used his shield to block the thrusting spear, and then removed one of the other's arms with his hand.
Blood splashed onto the sand. Although the other slave soldier turned pale in pain, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight because he did not want to die.
The consumption of slave warriors in the arena to entertain nobles is huge, because every battle is endless.
The severed hand fell to the sand with a 'snap', and blood flowed all over the ground. Instead of feeling cruel, the people around him cheered, regardless of gender.
Roman women are very open-minded, and Cai He has already rejected several noble ladies who have thrown themselves into their arms. Because Cai He is a eunuch and has practiced training, his tender skin and tender meat are now the best meat in the eyes of noble ladies, and even
Some male nobles with strange habits wanted to seduce Cai He.
Fortunately, Cai He was well-informed in the palace and was unmoved. But now that he sees the Roman nobles going crazy for blood, he still feels that these people are unreasonable. Don't they have other things to do? For example, study.
The Romans naturally also read, but reading is not as interesting as fighting. Of course, they don't watch gladiatorial fights every day. They still have things to do. Now Rome is on the rise. If the battle against Carthage is won, Rome will be able to win.
The African continent across the Mediterranean could gain a lot of wealth and then turn eastward to deal with the Macedonian Empire.
Carthage was very rich, so rich: every time it went to war with Rome, Rome had to recruit soldiers from its own city, but Carthage always hired soldiers.
During the fight, Carthage didn't feel any pain at all, but every dead Roman soldier was a strength of Rome. The current war against Carthage ended with Rome's victory.
There would be a second time later. Although the famous General Hannibal was a very powerful military strategist, he penetrated deep into the hinterland of Rome, but after all, he could not save the victory even if he went deep alone. In the later period, Rome sent troops directly across the sea and landed on the basic territory of Carthage.
Even the famous general Hannibal could not reverse the failure of his motherland.
Then came the third war, which was also the war in which Carthage was completely annihilated by Rome. The city was massacred and destroyed. After that, there was no more Carthage, and Rome also officially completed the encirclement of the Mediterranean and turned the Mediterranean into its own inland sea.
The slave with a broken hand failed to turn the tide of the battle, and was finally pierced through the heart with a sword and turned into a corpse. Everyone was cheering for the winner, and the winner also raised his weapon and roared to enjoy the cheers.
Cai He was speechless, thinking that this kind of wrestling would never be spread back to the Central Plains.
"Governor Cai, look at what happened to Piris," the congressman said suddenly.
Piris? The man who likes men? Cai He got goosebumps. He still remembered that guy actually sang a love song to him in public and expressed his love. It was simply the best.
Looking over, it turned out that Piris was just showing off, to show off his masculine beauty in front of Cai He, hoping to win Cai He's favor.
But Cai He doesn't like men.
Ignoring Piris's glance, Cai He knew that he had to reject him. So he slapped the railing and landed in the field like a flying swallow: "I'll fight you."
That was the porcelain ambassador. The nobles were excited. In fact, Piris was not gay, he was bisexual. He was the most popular young man in Rome. He was not only handsome but also good in bed. Of course, he also had an Athenian teacher.
Culture, the Spartan teacher teaches martial arts. It can be said that he is a young hero in the city of Rome who is both civilized and martial arts, but there is a problem with his life style.
The looks of both of them are very eye-catching, and Cai He's light kung fu is an eye-opener for the Romans. Everyone is looking forward to this fight.
Both of them chose sword and shield, but Cai He lost his shield. He preferred to dodge rather than hide behind the shield.
Seeing that Cai He lost his shield, Piris also lost his shield. In his opinion, this battle was just a flirtation, and he felt that Cai He would understand his kindness.
Cai He felt disgusted when he saw the opponent's actions, so he took the initiative to attack without mercy. As soon as he made smart steps, his figure quickly moved left and right, making the opponent confused.
It was also the first time that Piris encountered such a nimble opponent. He couldn't help but react. He felt that his arm was being pushed away with great force, and the tiger's mouth hurt. Fortunately, he was also an experienced warrior and did not let the sword fall out of his hands.
What a lot of strength? From the looks of it, Cai He is just a fair-skinned young man, but with just one move, Piris knew that his tiger's mouth was split open.
Then there was a clanging sound. Piris had no power to fight back and could only keep parrying Cai He's chops.
Everyone saw sparks shooting out when the two swords were slashing at each other, and there were more and more gaps in the blades. They all screamed in surprise. They didn't understand why Cai He had so much strength in his petite body?
This is unscientific. People with strong strength should also be big. This is scientific. It's a pity that they don't know that Cai He has deep internal strength. Today they will know that Da Qin also has magical martial arts in addition to porcelain and silk.
Ding!
Piris's sword was cut off, and he was stunned. Everyone was stunned. I am afraid that no one will dare to seduce Cai He, who is more terrifying than a tiger.
I can feel more relaxed in the future. This is the effect Cai He wants.
