    Liu Tong was actually in a trance when he left, and this trance even lasted until Liu Tong left Ganquan Palace.  Well, there is nothing to say. He was stunned by Cai Yan. With two special types of talents, Liu Tong finally understood how terrifying Cai Yan was. If he were a man, I am afraid that Cai Yan is among the powerful ministers in charge.  I'm afraid I might even get a seat.  "It's so scary." Si Niang sat in the carriage and finally came to her senses.  "I didn't send it out in the end." Liu Tong said in a tangled voice. All the original ideas were completely ruined. What made Chen Xi stop staring at him, and what made Cai Yan have no time to take care of him, it is completely impossible now.  "There is no other way. What Mr. Cai said is very reasonable. In her situation, it may not be a good thing to join the Chen family. Moreover, Mr. Cai also said that she needs to keep the lintel of the Chen Liu Cai family." Si Niang scratched herself  said with a sigh.  On the other side, Cai Yan sighed in her carriage. She had cut her own path. It was the only way to stop herself from having other thoughts.  "That's okay, Zichuan, you must never imitate Sima Xiangru, my beloved man in life." Cai Yan prayed softly. Although he made a choice and cut off his own escape route,  This is not to say that Cai Yan was not confused at all.  At the same time, Chen Xi was in a much lighter mood. Although there was still a literary problem on his head, Chen Xi firmly believed that he could solve it.  Ganquan Palace is not far from Chang'an, and it is a straight road. Everyone is equipped with horse carriages, so we set out in the afternoon and came back in the evening.  Early the next morning, the tense routine meeting began again, but Liu Tong became accustomed to it, and the blood vessels on Cao Cao's forehead swelled again because of this, but it was nothing. He was still doing the work he should do, and then he  It was the arrival of Roman envoys and Ye Diao envoys.  Rome has nothing to say. One of the top powers in this era came here just to see how the Han Dynasty was doing and whether it could buy silk or something.  Chen Xi had heard of Herodian, the leader of the envoy. He was a senator with the ability to understand economics, but he was just another remnant of the era of the Five Wise Emperors. He didn't have many more years to live. Speaking of which, Severus  The group of people under Lu's era, those who were really capable of working and fighting, were basically remnants of the Marcus Aurelius era.  This is a regular envoy, so the people contacted are also regular officials from Dahonglu. Both sides are big countries, so there is a lot of talk. As for Galen, he has already reunited with Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, and then it was very  I admired the other party's medical level.  Anyway, in the words of Jia Xu's intelligence personnel, Galen is now in a state of being unable to pull him away. Of course, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing don't want to let this guy go at all. The three of them have stopped even sleeping since the contact.  I was taking IV drips and taking medicine, and kept communicating.  It is said that some of the capable disciples of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were astonished by the bearded man opposite, especially his surgical skills, which was an eye-opener for the group. Of course, Gavin said that he had known there was someone here.  Since they are two great men, he should bring his apprentice with him.  After that, Galen stayed with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and began to study. Ares had been abandoned. As for Herodian and Dahonglu officials, they had been discussing various trade regulations. Anyway, according to Liu Yu's wishes,  Rome is simply a big business, and settlement is complicated. I'm worried that Roman currency won't be accepted. Yes, OK, let's settle directly with gold, jade, and gemstones.  Such a generous settlement method made Liu Yu's heart twitch, and he felt the unique charm of a big dog.  Of course, Herodian also felt that the Han Dynasty was worthy of being the land of gold and silk. It was rich, extremely rich, and had good food and drink. It also looked more pleasing to the eye than the retarded people in Anxi.  Therefore, the negotiation between the two parties actually went very smoothly. After all, Rome is also a big country. In terms of luxury goods, Rome has a lot of gold and gems. As for jade, Herodian added it after meeting the Han Dynasty.  Rome did not use jade. The entire jade culture was almost a symbol of the pan-Chinese civilization. Rome did not use jade, but the Han Dynasty said it would accept jade. Rome did not mind opening it up. Anyway, it was just a matter of sending people to dig it up. As long as  If you can find minerals, it's silk!  " Anyway, Herodian thought, it would be better not to spend money. In the past, this kind of stone called jade was not valuable, but now it is valuable when it is linked to silk.  Think about it, Rome spends money on silk every year, which is equivalent to almost one-twentieth of Rome's total fiscal revenue. Now that it is blocked by stones, Herodian said, isn't this equivalent to opening up a way to make money?  This is one-twentieth of the total fiscal revenue,Pliny the Elder said in his notes that the Roman finances were eaten up by more than 100 million yuan of silk every year. This was 100 million yuan. However, even if the emperor of Rome issued a ban, they still enjoyed it.  Think about it, even if Severus had a trick in his head and raised the income of Roman soldiers to 1,500 dirinas, which was over 100 million, he could support an elite army of 70,000 people.  During the official history of Severus, the Roman military strength reached its peak with only 200,000 troops. It almost dragged Rome to death. This shows how crazy the Romans were in buying silk.  Therefore, after discovering that a certain kind of stone that was useless before could actually pay back money, Herodian immediately created a group of professionals in the Han Dynasty, and then went to Rome to find this kind of stone that fit the Han Dynasty's aesthetic concept.  For this person, those stones are no longer stones, but real Roman silver coins. Since the stones can be used as money in the Han Dynasty, Herodian decided to use the stones to block it, money and so on.  , Coinage is also very painful for Rome.  However, the Han Dynasty was still very interested in opening up the Silk Road, and Rome's transaction volume calculated in billions also made the Han Dynasty very tempted. After all, the standard Dirina in Rome was based on the purchasing power of grain.  , almost a hundred times the five baht from the Han Dynasty.  In other words, if converted into five baht, it would be a transaction volume of tens of billions. Even with Chen Xi's support, the Han Dynasty's current fiscal revenue is only tens of billions, which is still far away from hundreds of billions. And Rome  After sending such a big deal, Dahonglu, Liu Yu and accompanying Mi Zhu deeply felt Rome's sincerity.  After all, Rome's sincerity was so great that the price of ordinary raw silk was calculated based on the high price that was several times higher than the normal price in the Han Dynasty, and it only needed to be sent to the thirty-six countries, and the Roman merchants could transport it back by themselves, which was five times the domestic price.  .  Sent to the pass of the Zagros Mountains, the price is directly ten times that of the domestic price. Even raw silk is almost as good as the finished silk at this time. This is simply a money grab. Even Rome offers such a high price, so  In terms of procurement, the Han Dynasty felt that they could directly build a large-scale hand-spinning factory in the Tianshan area. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? didn't even have transportation costs? Huge profits, money grabbing, even Mi Zhu felt like doing business with a big dog.  However, such a price is not a problem at all for Herodian, Severus, Pompianus, Papinian, etc. In fact, all knowledgeable people in Rome know that silk is robbing Rome of money.  , the problem is, look at this group of people, who doesn¡¯t wear it!  What do you wear in the Mediterranean climate? Is silk comfortable?  As for its luster and beauty, before the later technologies were developed, silk was not only expensive, but no other fabric could compare with it. Therefore, for the Romans, silk was indispensable!  After being exploited by the Parthians for many years, the Romans had no way to control the price of silk. Silk was almost equal to the price of gold. In fact, when it was relatively cheap in Rome, it was often more expensive than gold. Therefore, let alone the price of raw silk in the Han Dynasty.  Five times the price of silk, the Romans were rushing to reduce the price of silk to one-fifth to one-third of the same weight of gold.  Therefore, the two sides had a huge room for maneuver, making the negotiation very harmonious, so that Liu Yu became more and more satisfied with the Romans. With black hair and black eyes, although he did not exactly look like a Chinese ancestry, Liu Yu, a guy who has been educating foreigners for many years,  I have begun to think that the Romans were an ancient ethnic group that lost their Chinese heritage.  ¡¾Let's go back and let people study it, and we still have to do something like rectifying the source.  ¡¿Liu Yu naturally thought that the fastest way to deal with an opponent is to turn the opponent into one of his own.  Rome was so strong that even Liu Yu had a headache, not to mention that Herodian was also polite. Liu Yu didn't want to fall behind and lose his dignity as a great nation. Therefore, after coming down, he felt that he could fight against such a rich and well-mannered Rome.  Some have big heads.  In line with the idea that they might be brothers because they all look so much alike, Liu Yu started looking for someone to deceive Herodian. As for the enlightenment sect, if you tell a lie a thousand times, it becomes true. Anyway, as long as you believe it, it will be beneficial to the Han Dynasty.  That's a good thing.  "Shouldn't you raise the price higher? Why didn't you continue to raise the price?" Jia Xu handed Chen Xi the report from Dahonglu and asked casually.  "Originally this was an idea, but then I thought about the current situation. After all, the Han Dynasty was an era where men farmed and women weaved, and agriculture was based on mulberry. If the price was set high, the silk that could be sold would be high-end goods. In the end, the money  We can almost guess who it will fall into. In this case, it is better to give it to the people." Chen Xi looked at the report calmly, then handed it to Yuan Yin and sent him to make a copy as a backup.  , then turned to look at Jia Xu and said.
