"Well, let's do this. How about selling this prescription to Herodian? Since it's already a matter of time before the prescription leaks out, why not make some money before it goes out." Jian Yong suddenly said, "Recently, Herodian has been paying attention to He became interested in the path of the Han Dynasty. " "" Chen Xi rolled his eyes. He still understood what Jian Yong meant. To put it bluntly, this guy was planning to make a sum of money to subsidize the formula before it was made public, but he wanted to give Rome this. , Chen Xi doesn¡¯t want to sell it at all. However, the Romans have become interested now, so the Romans can still be controlled by the Han Dynasty. After the construction of the Western Regions starts, they may not be able to control them. Chen Xi doesn't believe that the Romans have always been upright and can be cracked by counterattack. If the method is obtained, the Romans will definitely choose reverse cracking. "That guy is really sharp-eyed." Chen Xi said helplessly, "What price did he offer?" "Two boxes of gold coins." Jian Yong thought for a while and said. "It's really dark." Chen Xi said unhappily. "The main reason is that the other party has a substitute." Jian Yong also said helplessly. "I don't believe they can't finish digging seven hills of volcanic concrete." Chen Xi said with a dark face. He knew that Rome had natural concrete. It is one of the famous records in world history. However, natural things mean that the output is limited. Rome In other words, you built a Roman city with that thing, and then built roads, but it couldn't be built anymore. Chen Xi really doesn¡¯t believe that old guys like Herodians can¡¯t see the importance of this thing. They shyly say that they also have substitutes. To put it bluntly, isn¡¯t it just to lower the price? "Tell him, for the sake of friendship between Han and Luo, we also know that Rome is interested in this thing. Give them two hundred boxes of gold coins. Do you want it?" Chen Xi waved his hand and said, anyway, let the group of unlucky children in the Western Regions Road construction can no longer be changed, and it is only a matter of time before the recipe is exposed. It is better to sell it to Rome to make some money. "Two hundred boxes of gold coins" Jian Yong's mouth twitched twice, Rome couldn't take it out. "Just tell Herodian what you said. That guy will definitely get enough for you. Even if he can't, Pompianus will definitely get enough. There are many smart people in the Roman Senate. They will definitely buy this thing. Even if Rome's finances are in trouble, and the Senate will buy it even if they raise money." Chen Xi said with a sneer. Chen Xi still knew about the chaos of demons in the Senate during the Severus era. There were piles of rich people in it, and many wealthy people had infiltrated the Senate, so that the current Roman Senate was a mixed bag. By the way, the Treasurer Pompianus had already wanted to hack those people to death. However, according to official history, Pompianus did not seize the opportunity to kill all these people until his death. But this is not important. The important thing is that the Romans have enjoyed the convenience brought by roads, so they know very well that if there is something to build their roads like the roads in Rome, then they will spend half a year's money to go there. It's worth buying. Because when the road is built, they can just sit back and make money. After all, relying on the Mediterranean Sea, their materials move very quickly. If the road is repaired, the speed of the transportation and circulation of their materials will be accelerated again, and then there will be many problems. It's no longer a problem. Jian Yong did not discuss the matter again after hearing this. They all knew that Chen Xi knew something about Rome, so Jian Yong did not doubt Chen Xi's judgment. "Then I'll ask now. It just so happens that I don't have much to do here." Jian Yong nodded, packed his things, stood up and said. When Jian Yong saw Herodian, Herodian was shopping in Chang'anfang City. Speaking of which, there are all kinds of strange races in Chang'anfang City. After seeing too many merchants in Chang'anfang City, there is nothing special about them. . As for Herodian, a handsome old man with high nose, black hair, and dark eyes, the businessmen in Fangshi directly treated him as a Han, because Ma Chao looked like this, and at most they thought he was a bit of a bastard. bloodline. By the way, Herodian is also very powerful. In just a few months, he has learned how to talk about silk and bargain with silk merchants, as well as select silk. In other words, Herodian¡¯s speaking was still very bad, but he was particularly good at speaking Chinese related to silk. This should be said to be an obsession. But having said that, Jian Yong was actually curious about how much money Herodian took when he came here, and why every time he saw this guy, he was either buying silk or on the way to buy silk. Even if silk in Chang'an is much cheaper than silk in Rome, Herodian must have run out of money buying it every day. He didn't bring much when he came. Could he have embezzled the tribute? Jian Yong thought secretly. "Herodion, I have a good business deal with you." Romans are straight-tempered,Yong's words are also very clear, and most of his speech is not very roundabout. "Wait a moment, I'll buy two more pieces here, and we'll talk about it later." Herodian said to Jian Yong while arguing with the silk merchant. After Herodian settled with the gold and silk merchants, the guy carried the silk and said that they would go to the residence to discuss in detail. Unlike the Han Dynasty's treatment of other countries, the Romans did not live in the area designated by Dahonglu, but found a place to live together. It is said that recently there was even the idea of ??building a new residence and sending people to settle down as envoys. However, this option is now under discussion. "Xianhe, sit here, I'll buy you a drink." Herodian looked quite honest, but if anyone thinks of this guy as a fool, he must be a fool himself. "Thank you." After Jian Yong drank a glass of wine, he put down his glass and said with a smile, "I came here this time because you said you were interested in the path of the Han Dynasty last time. I happened to meet him this time, so I asked about it. If you are interested, you can actually buy it. " Herodian held the wine bottle in his hand and put it down directly. In this country, Herodian still knew the identity and status of Jian Yong. , will never be lower than his status and status in Rome. Since the other party can say this, that is to say, it is not too difficult to realize what I casually mentioned at the time. "Thank you very much for Xianhe's negotiation inside." Regardless of whether Jian Yong made peace or not, Herodian would treat it as the other party's agreement anyway, giving face to the other party was also giving face to himself. "I will accept this thank you." Jian Yong smiled and put away the box that Herodian put in his hand, without even opening it to look at it, still maintaining the proper smile on his face. "It's like this. We are too far away from Rome, so the possibility of conflict between the two sides is unlikely. Moreover, the Romans and ourselves look quite similar, and your courage is very satisfying to us. We think that the two sides have Friendship will last forever." Herodian calmed down a lot after Jian Yong handed over the things. "I think so too. There is no country on this continent that is as suitable an ally as Rome and the Han Dynasty." Hearing this, Herodian was convinced that it would be too much for two countries so far apart to go to war with each other. It's nonsense, it's better to attack other countries together as allies. We are all so strong, why do we need to fight for one breath? "Yes, so I'm here again. You have seen Chang'an and other state and county roads, and you know how important this thing is to the country." Jian Yong smiled and looked at Herodian and asked, " How interested are you in this thing? " "Hahaha, Xianhe, aren't you just joking? More than just interest, this thing is too important to a country. When I mentioned this matter, I just wanted to think about it, I didn't expect the Han Dynasty to be so grand." Herodian is now basically sure that the other party really wants to take action, but he just doesn't understand why the Han Dynasty would hand over such an important thing to Rome so easily. people. "Because you are our potential allies, and your sincerity has convinced us. As allies, we cannot only pay for one of them. We must at least show due sincerity. We know that the Romans like silk and porcelain, but You should all know what kind of country you call our Han Dynasty," Jian Yong said with a solemn expression. Herodian nodded when he heard this. He was different from that boy from Seralli. Things like silk and porcelain were the most important part of this country at first glance. How could they be taught casually? Therefore, Herodian stayed in the Han Dynasty for a long time. , and finally didn¡¯t speak about it again. As for roads, it was due to Herodian's sensitivity to the operation of the national system. What kind of advantages would roads bring? After Herodian experienced the difference between Rome and Chang'an, he had a clear understanding of this. Know. So Herodian really hopes to get this cement-made recipe, but because of the importance of this thing, Herodian has never thought that he can get it easily, and spying on the country can easily make both sides fall out, and Herodian is also hesitant. This is why Herodian seriously revealed his interest in cement in front of Jian Yong, because he didn't really want to use unreliable spying methods. If he could get it from official channels, it would be best. Obtained from the official. "Don't pay attention to the silk recipe and the porcelain recipe. This is a prerequisite. You also know the importance of cement. We are willing to use this as our sincerity to Rome." Jian Yong said in an extremely solemn tone. He spoke. The moment Herodian heard these words, his pupils narrowed suddenly, and then when he looked at Jian Yong, his expression was much more joyful.The style of the Han Dynasty is still very grand, or in other words, the sincerity of Rome has always been felt. The Han Dynasty finally felt it and was willing to show its sincerity.
