When Liu Tong left, he was actually a little dazed, and even this dazedness continued until Liu Tong left Ganquan Palace.

Well, there is nothing to say. I was shocked by Cai Yan. With two special types of talents, Liu Tong finally understood how terrifying Cai Yan was. If it were a man, I would probably be able to occupy one of the real powers of the Secretary of State in charge of each department.

"So scary." Si Niang sat in the frame and finally came back to her senses.

"I didn't send it out in the end." Liu Tong said in a tangled manner. All the original concepts were completely over. What made Chen Xi stop staring at him and what made Cai Yan have no time to care about him. It is completely impossible now.

"There is no other way. What Cai said is very reasonable. In her situation, entering the Chen family may not be a good thing. Moreover, Cai everyone also said that she needs to protect the lintel of the Chenliu Cai family." Si Niang scratched her head and said with a sigh.

On the other hand, Cai Yan sighed in her own frame. She cut off her own road. Only in this way can she not have other ideas.

"It's good that way, Zichuan, you must not learn from Sima Xiangru, my lifelong good man." Cai Yan prayed softly. Although he made a choice and cut off his own way of retreat, this did not mean that Cai Yan was not confused at all.

At the same time, Chen Xi was feeling much lighter. Although there was still a problem of literary essays above his head, Chen Xi firmly believed that he could solve it.

Ganquan Palace is not far from Chang'an, and there are straight roads along the way. Everyone is equipped with horse frames, so they set off in the afternoon and rushed back in the evening.

The next morning, a tense routine court meeting began again, but Liu Tong became accustomed to it. The blood vessels on Cao Cao's forehead grew stronger because of this, but there was nothing, and he was still doing what he should do, and then the arrival of the Roman envoy and Ye Tui envoys.

There is nothing to say about Rome. One of the top powers of this era, came over to see how the Han Dynasty was and whether she could buy silk or something.

Chen Xi has heard of the commander of the envoy, Herodian, and others. A senator who is capable of understanding the economy is a remnant from the era of the Five Sages. He has not had many years to live. Speaking of which, the people under the Severus era, who are really able to work and fight are basically the remnants of the era of Marco Aurelius.

This is a regular envoy, so the persons who are in contact are also regular officials of the Great Honglu. Both sides are big countries, so some talks are discussed. As for Galen, he has already met with Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, and then admires the other party's medical level.

Anyway, in the words of the intelligence personnel on Jia Xu, Galen is now in a state of being unable to pull away. Of course, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing didn't want this guy to leave at all. The three of them even stopped sleeping since they came into contact, taking a little drip and catching medicine, and were communicating.

It is said that Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's several disciples who were able to take advantage of it were shocking to the bearded man opposite, especially the other party's surgical skills, which made the group of people open their eyes. Of course, Gavin said that if he had known that there were two big bulls here, he should have brought his disciples too.

Afterwards, Galen and Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing began to study. Ares had been abandoned. As for Herodian, he and the officials of the Great Honglu were talking about various trade regulations. Anyway, according to Liu Yu's opinion, Rome was a big dealer with complicated settlements. Roman currency was worried that it would not be accessible. Every time, we settled gold, jade, and gems directly.

Such a generous settlement method made Liu Yu twitch in his heart, and he felt the unique charm of a big dog.

Of course, Herodian also felt that the Han Dynasty was worthy of being a country of golden silk, rich, rich, and had good food and drink, and looked more pleasing to the group of mentally retarded people in Anxi.

Therefore, the talk between the two sides was actually very smooth. After all, Rome is also a big country. Compared to luxury goods, Rome has a lot of gold and gems at all. As for jade, it was added by Herodian after seeing the Han Dynasty.

Rome did not use jade. The entire jade culture is almost a symbol of the general Chinese civilization. Rome did not use jade, but the Han Dynasty said that it would collect jade. Rome did not mind opening up the source. Anyway, this thing is just a matter of sending people to dig. As long as the mine can be found, it is silk!

Anyway, Herodian was thinking that it would be better not to spend money if he could not spend money. The stones called jade used to be worthless, but now they are valuable if they are linked to silk.

Think about it, Rome spent money on purchasing silk every year, which was almost one-twentieth of Rome's total fiscal revenue. Now it was blocked by stones. Herodian said that this was not equivalent to opening up a path of wealth?

This is one-twentieth of the total fiscal revenue. In his notes, Pliny said with great heartache that Roman finances were eaten by silk every year by more than 100 million, which is 100 million. However, even if the emperor issued a ban on Rome, they still enjoyed it.

Think about it, even if Seville had a trick in his mind, he increased the income of the Roman soldiers to the level of 1,500 Dilina, and a little over 100 million, he could support an elite army of 70,000.

During the official history, the Roman army reached its peak during the Severus period, and it was only 200,000 troops. In this way, it was almost dragged Rome to death. This shows how crazy the Romans bought silk.

Therefore, after discovering that some kind of stone that was useless before could pay back the money, Herodian immediately gave birth to a group of professionals in the Han Dynasty, and then went to Rome to find such stones that conformed to the aesthetic concepts of the Han Dynasty.

For this person, those stones are no longer stones, but real Roman silver coins. Since stones can be used as money in the Han Dynasty, Herodian decided to block them with stones. Money or something, minting coins is also very painful for Rome.

However, the Han Dynasty was still very interested in opening up the Silk Road, and the transaction volume calculated by Rome for 100 million was also very attractive to the Han Dynasty. After all, if the standard Dilina in Rome was in terms of the purchasing power of grain, it was almost a hundred times the five-zhu coins of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, if it is exchanged for Wuzhu coins, it is a transaction volume of tens of billions. Even if Chen Xi supports the current fiscal revenue of the Han Dynasty, it is only tens of billions of dollars, and it is still a long way from hundreds of billions of dollars. When Rome sent such a big business, Liu Yu, the Great Lunar New Year and Mi Zhu, who accompanied him, both deeply felt Rome's sincerity.

After all, Rome's sincerity was too sufficient. The price of ordinary raw silk was calculated based on the regular high price of several times the Han Dynasty, and it only needs to be sent to the thirty-six countries. The Roman merchants transported it back by themselves, which was five times the price in China.

When it was delivered to the pass of the Zagros Mountains, it was directly ten times the price in China. Even if it was raw silk, it was about to put on the finished silk silk. This was simply a robbery of money. Even when Rome opened such a high price and purchased it in this way, the Han Dynasty felt that it could directly set up a large-scale hand-made spinning mill in the Tianshan area.

This way, it takes place in Tianshan, and even the transportation costs are gone, huge profits, and money grabbing. Even Mi Zhu feels that it is like doing business with a big dog.

However, such a price is not a problem for Herodian, Severus, Pompianus, Pabinian, etc. In fact, all the knowledgeable people in Rome know that silk is robbing Rome's money. The problem is to see who doesn't wear this group of people!

What do you wear in the Mediterranean climate so comfortable to wear silk? And it is more glamorous. Before the subsequent technologies were developed, silk was not comparable to any other fabric except expensive. Therefore, silk was indispensable for the Romans!

Before, he was exploited by the rest of the world for many years, the Romans had no way to control the price of silk. Silk was equal to the price of gold. When Rome was relatively cheap, it was often more expensive than gold. Therefore, not to mention five times the price of raw silk in the Han Dynasty, the Romans were trying to cut the price of silk to one-fifth to one-third of the gold of the same weight.

Therefore, the great room for maneuver between the two sides made the negotiations very harmonious, so that Liu Yu became more and more pleasing to the Romans as he saw them. Although his black hair and black eyes did not look exactly like Chinese blood, Liu Yu, a guy who had been educating foreign races all year round, has begun to think that the Romans had lost the ancient races of the Chinese heritage.

[Let me study it again and you still need to do something like the original and clear source.] Liu Yu naturally thought that the quickest way to solve the opponent is called turning the opponent into his own person.

Even Liu Yu was a strong man with a headache, not to mention that Herodian was polite, and Liu Yu did not want to be at a disadvantage and lost his style as a great power. Therefore, after he came down, he felt that Rome, who was rich and had some, was a bit overwhelmed.

Based on how similar everyone looks, and to clarify the source, maybe it was a brother's idea, Liu Yu began to find someone to fool Xirodian, the education sect, and lies are true if you say them a thousand times. Anyway, as long as you believe it, it is a good thing to benefit the Han Dynasty.

"Actually, shouldn't you make the price higher? Why didn't you continue to increase the price?" Jia Xu handed the report sent by the Great Honglu to Chen Xi and asked casually.
