Chapter 1387: Let's Die and Rest in Peace!
After that, Chen Deng naturally invited this group of people to eat and drink, although there are many dishes that are not in line with the taste of the Romans, but how to say it, Chen Xi belongs to foodies, and everyone in the Han Dynasty knows it, and the dishes studied are enough for the Romans to lick the plate.
Of course, there are not a few Han Dynasty people who eat and lick the plate, so in the end, Chen Deng shut up and didn't say what the food was made of, in fact, the Romans were quite happy to eat, which was a 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 there were several people in the Roman envoys who might be nobles, and he gave many examples, and in the end, Wu Xi who traveled all the way had to admit that this was a very possible thing.
But this is nothing, after all, Ganassis is the duke of the Roman border county, and there are not a few resources in his hands, and 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, and the silk and celadon that were more expensive than gold could be taken away with a gold coin that was cheaper, so the Romans were like a sweep.
is different from the time of Sichuan and Shu, the prosperity of Shu County is real, and the luxury 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 sweep the goods.
In the end, when Wu Xi really couldn't see it, he forcibly took the envoys away, and Chen Deng saw that these Great Qin people were not buying good goods, so when he left, he gave some genuine Shu brocade and a set of white porcelain tea sets, as well as a mirror.
There is no way, Shu Jin is expensive, Chen Deng still took it from his own treasury and gave it to the envoy of Daqin. As for white porcelain tea sets and mirrors, the production is now slightly higher. Chen Deng also had a few sets, and when he took out one set and gave it to the envoys. The envoys were blinded.
"Chen Thorn History...... A Roman grabbed Chen Deng in a thief's hard Chinese, hoping to talk to Chen Deng.
"Can you sell this treasure in your country?" The eyes of the Romans were red, and when they used to think that celadon was a rare treasure, they turned out to be white porcelain and mirrors, and the eyes of the Romans were red.
"I can't be the master of this, this is also my private family, and I give it to you as a parting gift." Chen Deng said helplessly that he couldn't be the master.
Looking at the Romans whose eyes were about to burst into blood, Chen Deng couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder he was a barbarian. No matter how precious it is, you can't tell the truth in front of people, isn't this to be slaughtered?
After seeing the Romans leave, Chen Deng hurriedly sent someone to Yecheng, he wanted to talk to Li You, as for whether the Romans came to meet the emperor or Liu Bei, now they must meet Liu Bei, and now Chen Deng can almost see that the other party's Chinese is two knives, as long as Li You and others hold it. That's where I came to meet Liu Bei.
As for Liu Bei's wonder why he gave him an audience, it was nothing, Li You would definitely be able to hold it, just the Chinese level on the other side. It's not hard!
Of course, not only in this aspect, Chen Deng also had to inform his merchants to hurry up and collect white porcelain and mirrors, although these two were also luxury goods in the Han Dynasty. But it's nothing, just now the Romans gave Chen Deng a gift. So he gave a piece of jade.
Although the Central Plains is expensive, it is even more expensive in Rome. The Romans bought porcelain, silk and mirrors, which seemed to Chen Deng to have no brains, and Chen Deng couldn't stand the high price.
The other party directly traded with them for gold and jade, and Chen Deng's heart was beating wildly, such a piece of fat meat, it was intolerable not to cut it.
On the other side, the real nobles of Rome are also about to go crazy, they have no shortage of gold, as for jade, the Romans don't use this kind of thing, for them this is stone, as for white porcelain, mirrors, and Shu brocade, this is a treasure.
"It is worthy of the legendary rich empire of porcelain and silk, sure enough, we should die and rest in peace, they charged at least twenty times the passage fee, and they didn't send us the real treasures at all!" Serari looked uplifted, then remembered rest.
"Rest in peace!" As soon as Serari said this, the other four Roman nobles also angrily reprimanded, anyone who thought that their own country would be charged twenty times the amount of money for the passage by the enemy country and wanted to kill the other party.
But having said that, there were indeed a lot of fights between Rome and Rest because of silk and porcelain, and later Byzantium and Persia fought a twenty-year-long "Silk War", to put it bluntly, the silk tolls in Persia were too high.
Of course, there was no result in that war, and after twenty years of fighting, the Byzantine money for buying silk every year sent a lot of blood to Persia, and naturally it was not over in the end, after all, for the Romans, silk was indispensable......
In the end, I could only endure this twenty times the travel fee, should I wear it or should I wear it, and the nobles are still nobles if they don't wear silk?
"We can negotiate with His Majesty the Emperor of the Celisians, and we will buy it at ten times the price, so that we can also save half of the expenses, and the Celis can also earn ten times more." Serari's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's kill the two of us and rest this bastard." ”
"If the elders of our Senate see these things, they will probably be willing to buy them if they are bankrupt, for the sake of the empire, let us die and rest in peace!" A Roman nobleman shouted excitedly.
"Oh~" several others also shouted, once again they found a reason why they must die and rest in peace.
"What do you say they're talking about?" Wu Xi turned his head to An Yue on the side and asked.
"They're talking about death and rest in peace." An Yue has now completely become a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and when it was determined that the people of the Han Dynasty needed a household registration, An Yue begged Chen Deng to make up a household registration, and as for the place of residence, it was Wusun.
"Daqin is so bored, he thinks about dying every day and resting in peace." Wu Xi said helplessly, "But it's nothing, let them do it, Wu Xi's current understanding of the battle of the empire is that his fists are reasonable, simple and rude." ”
After walking for a few days, there was a shocking sound, because I passed through a city again, a city similar to Xiapi before, and this time someone asked if it was to the capital, and then was vetoed by Wu Xi again.
"When you get there, you'll understand, instead of asking questions." Wu Xi rolled his eyes and said, although he didn't know what Fenggao had become, but he had become more and more confident along the way.
As the road became wider and the places became more and more peaceful, the envoys of Great Qin gradually became silent.
From the beginning of entering Xuzhou, the prosperity of the Han Empire made them feel cold, with silk and porcelain, and the legend of the silk gold country, step by step out of the myth, this terrible prosperity! (To be continued.) )
PS: It's not that I forgot about the Roman envoys, but the distance is too far, by land, even if it is a myth, so many people are not accustomed to the soil and water, and they also make a detour to Sichuan and Shu, and it is very fast to be able to come over in half a year.
