Since Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty carved out the Western Regions, these glass products have been very popular in the Han market. Most of these beautiful glass products came from the Great Qin in the West, that is, ancient Rome. It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that "(Daqin) has many gold and silver treasures, including luminous walls, bright moon pearls, hacking chicken rhinoceros, corals, amber, colored glass, Langji, Zhu Dan, and Qingbi. ”

These gold and silver treasures from the West were transmitted to the Western Regions, so the Western Regions spread these to the Han Dynasty, and after the Silk Road was opened, this became a trade route between the East and the West. Merchants from the countries of the Western Regions traveled between the east and the west and carried out commercial and trade exchanges. These glass products make the Han people regard them as treasures, and similarly, the silk of the Han people is also hard to find in the West!

Originally, I just wanted to take a tour of Hu City, but I didn't expect to be able to meet merchants from the Western Regions in Jiuyuan. Seeing these crystal clear glass products, one of Lu Bu's heartstrings was also touched! The technology of making glassware in the Han Dynasty was still far from catching up with that of the West. At this time, Roman glass technology had not yet spread to the East, at most to the Western Regions. This Rome is too far away from the Han Dynasty, and it is too difficult for the two sides to communicate directly.

Ban Chao once sent Gan Ying to ancient Rome, but unfortunately Gan Ying arrived in the Tiaozhi Sea (today's Persian Gulf) and wanted to cross the sea, but was stopped by the gentle words of the sea merchants, and finally failed to reach Rome. On the contrary, in the ninth year of Yanxi, the ancient Roman King of Qin sent an envoy to Luoyang to meet Emperor Huan of Han. It's just that the authenticity of this account has yet to be tested. Moreover, at this time, the Han Dynasty was also in decline and was about to be destroyed, even if the ancient Roman envoys really came, I am afraid they were not in the mood to talk about trade with them! It is even more impossible to get the process of making glass products from them. It was not until the Northern Wei Dynasty that Persia in the West brought more advanced glass products to China.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Bu felt that if he could improve the craftsmanship of this glass product, then the profit would be a huge profit! You know, why did Chinese silk become an expensive luxury in Rome? Why did the merchants who rested in peace persuade Gan Ying not to cross the sea and to communicate with Rome? That's because the price of this silk in the Sabbath and Rome is a hundred times different! Who will get this hundredfold profiteering? Naturally, it is the merchants who rest in peace. Similarly, the price of these glass products in the West is more than 100 times more profitable than that of the Han Dynasty! This kind of huge profit made the merchants of the Western Regions countries not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to cross the Gobi Beach in order to obtain that huge profit.

Lu Lingqi looked at the glass bowl, she couldn't put it down, and here, Yan Wei also chose some things. With a wave of his hand, Lu Bu wrapped up these things. That rich and bold appearance made the eyes of this driver Aroldo's eyes light up!

Lu Bu is a big deal this time! Throw a hundred bucks! This is no exaggeration. Just that crystal clear green glass bowl, that's all a million dollars! Aroldo also sold it in this Hu market for a month, and he also saw that many Hu leaders wanted to get this treasure, but they were reluctant to buy it because the price was too high. There were even some tyrannical leaders who wanted to rob them by force, and the result was that the officials in this Hu city were expelled.

The establishment of this Hu market is precisely for the fairness and justice of commerce and trade! Those who want to violate the rules of commerce and trade, the Han army has never been soft! No matter where the merchant comes from, if he wants to do business in this city, he must obey the law! Those who do not obey this decree will be expelled and will never be allowed to trade in this city. It was for this reason that Aroldo dared to take out this precious glass bowl. It's just that the price of this glass bowl is expensive, even though there is no shortage of people to ask, but no one buys it, so this glass bowl has been left until now.

Aroldo has thought about it, most of the people in this Hu market are the leaders of some small and medium-sized tribes, and they don't have much economic strength to afford this luxury! If he can't get rid of it in this Hu City, he will sell this glass bowl to the big leaders of the Xianbei tribe, and the price will be lowered. Those humble nobles still like these treasures very much. Most of the goods that he Aroldo brought from the Western Regions were given to those Xianbei people.

Of course, doing business with those Xianbei people is not as good as trading in this Hu market. First, the trade between the two sides of the Hu market is fair, and there are few incidents of forced buying and selling, and the profits are more profitable. Second, those Xianbei people are barbaric and unreasonable, and this reputation is not very high. If you meet someone who wants to kill people and plunder goods, it's too late to cry. In short, trading in this Hu city makes Aroldo feel at ease! In the past, there was no Hu market in the north, so he could only pull these goods to various tribes to sell, and his heart was always worried, afraid that one day he would be killed and plundered.

Since the business has been negotiated, Lu Bu wants to pay this Arodo money! But Aroldo shook his head! What's the use of asking for these five baht money? For this reason, Lu Bu wanted to give Arodo gold, but Aroldo still didn't want it.

Pawn Wei immediately became angry, grabbed the placket of Aroldo's clothes, and said fiercely, "You bastard! You don't want to give you money, and you refuse to give you gold, is it deliberately despising us? Do you believe that I can screw your head off right now? ”

"Ahh

After Aroldo asked Dian Wei to hold him, his subordinates also stood up one after another, putting their hands on the hilt of the knife one by one! Staring at Lu Bu and them, glaring angrily!

Whew!

After these people stood up, more than a dozen big men immediately jumped out of the crowd around them, and they pulled out their swords one after another, and immediately surrounded these Hu people from the Western Regions. And after these people pulled out their knives, the market, which was still bustling, was startled by screams! A lot of people are scared away from it!

The movement here also immediately alarmed those Han officials who maintained order in Hu City! A group of soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords surrounded them, and a majestic voice sounded, "Who dares to make trouble in this Hu market?" ”

The person who spoke was dressed in a straight-lined robe, with a square face and an eagle nose, and a very stern gaze! The whole person looks like he has his own majesty.

Seeing this group of Han soldiers surrounding, Lu Bu's left and right guards were also not to be outdone! Because Lu Bu was a private visit to Weifu this time, and those guards did not wear armor, so those Han soldiers did not know Lu Bu's identity, and they also drew their swords against each other, and for a while, the two sides were tense.
