Compared with Li Yu sitting in front of the window and watching the snowflakes, Tiberius didn't even find a place to rest after arriving in Luoyang, so he rushed to the Xinxiang Hall in Luoyang North City to get drunk, two steps and one order, and climbed to the third floor in one breath, sweating on his forehead. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the guards verified his identity, Tiberius wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and entered the private room, and at a glance he saw Li Yu sitting in front of the window, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Thank you to the merciful lord, my highness, you have finally returned from the wild land of Anton, and the minister has been looking forward to His Highness coming back as soon as possible this year, and accepting the courtier's respect......"

"Ahem>< Li Yu couldn't help but cough a few times, rolled his eyes at Tiberius twice, and the two sisters Zheng Min and Zheng Lin who were waiting on the side even covered their mouths and chuckled.

No way, who called Tiberius's strange Guanzhong accent mixed with out-of-tune cut rhymes, coupled with his funny flattering face, people couldn't help but laugh.

As the master who was slapped on the back, Li Yu really didn't feel comfortable being slapped at all, and Tiberius couldn't help but hang his lord at the beginning.

"Mention the manager, you are in the Tang Dynasty, there is no lord in this land, there is the blessing of my Chinese ancestor Yan and the second emperor, you have to thank not the lord of the West, but the ancestor of China......"

"Oh! Your Highness, the minister made a mistake. Tiberius's face changed, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Thank you to the benevolent ancestor of the Yan Emperor, so that I can witness the appearance of His Royal Highness King Yan again!" ”

Li Yu rolled his eyes directly, MA's sycophants won't shoot, how have you been in Datang in the past few years?

"Hee-hee-......" Zheng Min and Zheng Lin couldn't cover their small mouths, their originally straight delicate bodies smiled in an arc, their small breasts rose and fell, and the laughter couldn't stop coming out of their ruddy little mouths.

"Two beautiful little ladies, is there anything you need my help with?" Tiberius looked at the two daughters who couldn't help but laugh and their bodies trembled, and he couldn't understand whether they were ill or what was wrong.

Zheng Min and Zheng Lin hurriedly waved their hands to indicate that they were fine, but when they looked at Tiberius's happy expression, they couldn't help but cover their mouths lightly.

Li Yu rubbed his forehead full of black lines and beckoned to Tibilius, who trotted to Li Yu very doggedly, and an amiable Western uncle face came to Li Yu.

Li Yu was opening his mouth to inquire about what he had been instructed to do a few years ago, when Tiberius confidently interrupted: "OhDio, Your Highness, I know what you want to ask. What you commanded at the beginning of the year, I solved it perfectly. In your horse farm in Chang'an, there are now 300 Han blood horses, 200 Persian war horses, and 500 turtle horses, all of which are carefully selected and can be bred. In addition, when I was buying horses in Anxi, Yi Wai bought ten fine Arabian horses from a merchant from Damascus, and fortunately, there were three males in them that could be bred......"

Tiberius was in high spirits and instilled in Li Yu how successful he had been in running the Western Regions trade route that year, and how dedicated he was to the tasks Li Yu had commanded.

"Your Highness, do you know? In this year, I have earned more than 250,000 yuan for you, which is the most I have ever earned in a year in my life. When I saw the numbers in the account book, pieces of gold and silver were taken from my hands. OhDio (Latin for God), which in Constantinople is absolutely unimaginable......"

"Sister, this Hu man is too carried away, he blows himself up and blows in front of His Highness, what's the big deal about making money! On the surface, he said that he earned 250,000 yuan for His Highness, but in his heart, he probably thought that this should have been mine. Zheng Lin pursed her lips and whispered in her sister's ear.

Zheng Min gently pinched his sister's waist branch and chuckled: "You know that if you think of people in a bad way, you should think that there are many good people in this world." ”

"For example?"

"Your Highness, for example!"

"Sister, don't you want to?"

"What do you think, damn girl?"

"What is my sister thinking?"

"You ......"

The two sisters frolicked quietly, and Li Yu was indeed overwhelmed by Tiberius's incessant talk, and after signaling him to stop his mouth with his hand, Tiberius closed his mouth with a cannon open.

At last, the ear could calm down, and there was no need to enjoy the strange tone of Tiberius.

In view of Tiberius's complacency in doing one thing well, Li Yu said with a calm face: "It's too little. ”

"Huh? What's missing Your Highness? Tiberius looked shocked.

"It took you a year and a lot of money to buy a thousand and ten horses, what can you do with that amount? The Western Regions are all business opportunities, and the silk, porcelain, and liquor shipped from Datang can be sold at a high price, and you only earn back 250,000 yuan a year, and I spent it in Andong in January. In view of this, the king should consider the question of your ability and choose the best from the new. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Tiberius looked confused, thinking that he could please His Highness for his achievements this year, but he didn't think about it, but he was reprimanded with a slap in the face. Selecting talents from the new? God, God, in the Wanquan Trading House that he is in charge of running the Western Regions Trade Route, he has his own 20% profit share. This is what I spent five years traveling back and forth between Chang'an and Constantinople to collect the works of astronomical and mathematical scholars in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

"Do you know how much Xuanji Commercial Bank has made this year? Earned 800,000 yuan! Li Yu hated that iron could not be made of steel, and raised his right hand and made a list of eight characters towards Tiberius.

"800,000 ......" Tiberius was directly stunned, he thought that he had earned enough with his scriptures, and he didn't think that His Highness would have anything more awesome.

"Your Highness, rest assured, next year I will definitely buy back 5,000 good horses and earn 800,000 yuan back." Tiberius was heartbroken, in order to keep his position, but also to leave a position in the heart of King Yan, hug this thigh, and even more so to be able to gain a foothold in this rich country, fight!

Li Yu got up and patted Tibilius on the shoulder and said, "I hope that when you report to me at this time next year, you can report to me your promise today." ”

(The Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty called it the White Clothes Food, but Li Yu preferred to use the English translation of later generations, so the Yanwangfu was always translated into the Arab Empire)

Tiberius nodded solemnly in response, and watched King Yan and his party leave and sit on a chair, worrying about how to complete the 800,000 guan mark in the coming year.

At this time, Anxi entered the Kou because of Tibet last year, captured four towns, wars were frequent, there were many checkpoints along the way, and the trade route was not easy to walk.

And you can't easily give up Wanquan Commercial Bank, which belongs to one of the industries of Yanwangfu, and go it alone.

Although he was generally classified by the Tang people into the list of Hu people of the northern Tang Kingdom, Tiberius was not a Hu people, but a Roman from a civilized country far west.

But this is useless, the Tang people don't understand it, and they also regard it as a barbaric Hu people.

The Tang people treated each other kindly on the surface, but in their hearts they looked down on the other clansmen they called the Hu people, and even the Yonghui law was written in black and white.

In this eastern land, Tiberius could not even find a tenth fellow from Rome other than the Romans who had followed him.

A load of taxes and fees that have lost the thigh of King Yan, running merchants, and passing all the way, tax collectors and soldiers need to spend a lot of money. accidentally offended someone, and he was alone, and he couldn't even find anyone to help.
