In Rome, Sun Quan enjoyed the highest standards of treatment, and for a time became the focus of much attention sought after by the Romans. His demeanor and his conversation fascinated countless Romans.

More importantly, although Sun Quan is not a businessman, as a high-ranking official of Seris, he obeys all the things he says. This also proves to a certain extent that he has the power to allocate sales quotas for important goods such as silk and glass.

In order to become a subordinate dealer of Seris silk one day earlier, the merchants of Rome tried their best to get close to Sun Quantao.

Finding out the internal intelligence of the Roman aristocracy was one of the important purposes of Sun Quan's trip, and he was also happy to be invited to the banquet.

In the days that followed, the officers of the South Sea Fleet became regular visitors to the mansions of the Roman aristocracy, and as popular were the military bands of the Empire. Whether it is a band or an officer of the mission, there are many imperial Aegis works who are proficient in Roman language, and they have crossed the sea to show their powers, using different forms and methods to make friends with the Roman aristocracy, and there are even many handsome and dashing characters, who actually fall in love with the Roman women who are confused and romanized, and make a lot of lace news.

During his stay in Rome, Sun Quan held a total of three meetings with Severus. In the previous period in Luoyang, the late Maximin had already established the covenant between the two countries, so there was not much to be frustrated by the two countries, mainly focusing on two aspects: First, the empire wanted Rome to allow the Church of Our Lady to preach in Rome. Severu was vague on the issue, not so much neutral as he was expressing his opposition with silence. 2. In order to facilitate bilateral trade in the future, Sun Quan hoped that Rome would widen and deepen the Suez Canal, so that the imperial ships could sail smoothly into the Mediterranean. Severus did not hesitate to veto this question, giving the explanation that although Seris's large treasure ship could no longer pass through the Suez Canal, it was possible to use a relatively small building ship. In this case, there was no need to dredge Suez, and Seris could send a small ship to Rome at a later date.

The moment he saw the huge Imperial Treasure Ship, Severus was already aware. With such a large ship in hand, the Cyris must not be an opponent when it comes to naval warfare. In this respect, the Suez Canal was a great barrier, and as long as it maintained its current depth, the large ships of Seris would not be able to sail into the Mediterranean, and Rome would be safe without the threat of large ships.

Severus refused to mention the two in one, Sun Quan argued twice, to no avail, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and continued to eat, drink and have fun in the Roman aristocratic palace, and live his own leisurely life. (No pop-up ads)

At the same time, Severus summoned Petronius to the palace, first to express his heavy sorrow for Maximin's illness and death, and then to ask him about the details of Seris.

Petronius, on the other hand, according to Guo Jia's instructions, first handed over Maximin's notes to Severus for his visit. This thousand-page note was forged by S.H.I.E.L.D. over a period of more than three months. Both the font and tone in the notes completely imitate Maximin's style, and Mo said that Severus was Maximin's wife, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

In order to dispel Severus's vigilance, in this forged note, not only the data on the actual territory, population, and military strength of the Holy Chinese Empire were fully reduced, but also the power of the empire's artillery, steel, and other equipment was also vaguely brushed aside.

In addition, the note also describes Luan Yi as a reckless tyrant who has waged wars everywhere for more than 30 years, causing strong resentment both inside and outside of Seris, and now Seris is mired in internal and external troubles.

Believing in Maximin's absolute trust, Severus was convinced of the contents of the report, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Seris is unstable in the country, so I am relieved. Otherwise, its military might have been a great threat to Rome. ”

Petronius was secretly happy in his heart, but he called the Archon wise.

In the days that followed, as the Imperial mission departed from shore, the Imperial merchant ships sailed into the harbor. Upon entering the port, merchants from all over Rome rushed to the Imperial merchant ships laden with goods, clamoring to buy silk from Seris.

In this respect, the merchants of the empire showed a commendable political consciousness. According to the notice issued by the Nanyang Fleet before, they told a kind of Romans that if they wanted to buy silk and glass, they must first get the approval of Sun Quan, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, that is, the head of the imperial mission. General Sun approved as much as they wanted, and they sold as much as they wanted, and they didn't sell it if they didn't give any amount of approval.

In desperation, the Roman merchants were only given a visit to Sun Quan in the city of Rome...... As a result, Sun Quan's social aspect expanded again.

While the merchants were in full swing selling their goods, the empire's meticulous work was not idle. Some of them rented a courtyard in Ostia and left hundreds of questions on the blackboard outside the courtyard in Roman and Greek characters, such as astronomy, geography, arithmetic, philosophy, etc., threatening that if anyone could solve these problems, they would go to the courtyard and drink the finest tea leaves of Seris for free.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted great attention from the Roman academic community. At this time, most of the scholars who were Roman were not well-off, and with their current income, they could not afford to buy 200 pieces of Syris's rice paper. What's more, the translations that Seris said were not sold at all. Money can't buy it, you can only earn it by answering questions wisely.

Such an attractive reward immediately attracted a large number of Roman scholars, and the courtyard rented by the empire became a summit for Roman scholars.

Of all the Roman scholars, Clemenos, who came from a relatively well-to-do family, was reluctant to join in the fun. But his friend Stavros, who had been to Seris's courtyard a few times, begged him several times to go with him, so he followed.

It was noon, and the blackboard outside the courtyard was already crowded with people answering questions, discussing with each other, or paddling around on the ground with wooden sticks, doing data calculations.

As a philosopher, Climenos had little interest in arithmetic, so he bypassed the propositions related to numbers and went straight to a blackboard with riddles written in proper Roman script. The riddle on the blackboard is: "What sinks but never breaks, what breaks but never sinks." This is obviously a philosophical question.

Klimenos dragged his cheeks in thought, paced a few steps, his eyes lit up, and he summoned the messenger of Seris, who was guarding outside the courtyard, and whispered the answer, "What will not be broken after silence should be sunshine, and what will be broken and will not sink must be night." So the answer to this question should be day and night, am I right? ”

The Imperial guarding the door smiled and nodded, "What you said is the correct answer. The gentleman can go to the humble house for tea. ”

Kremanos smiled and nodded, and entered the courtyard. Speaking of which, he knew most of the people in the courtyard, most of them were elites in some field in Rome, and it was very exciting for Clemenos to be able to discuss scholarship with them without any kind of indiscriminate stuffing as in the past. At the same time, I am especially grateful for the chic arrangement of the Seris people.

At this time, the Roman scholars in the courtyard were eagerly reading the translation of Seris, and from time to time they wanted to ask questions and questions to the young Seris scholars who were patrolling the neighborhood.

Just listening to these questions was enough to skyrocket Clemenos's interest, and he immediately realized that this simple Roman-style courtyard contained a huge treasure trove of knowledge waiting to be discovered. Under the guidance of the new Oriental knowledge, he will break through many academic bottlenecks left in the past and reach new heights in his thinking. Excited, he unconsciously joined the team of discussions and inquiries. In the next few days, without the call of his friend Stavros, he would take the initiative to go to Seris's small courtyard early in the morning, where he would enjoy a delicious Seris breakfast with his friends and classmates, and then devote himself to exciting and fulfilling academic research.

Unbeknownst to Clemenos and the Roman scholars in the courtyard, however, as they studied and studied, the Imperial Masters were constantly watching them, making a series of assessments of their intellect and intellectual realm, and judging which ones were hostile to Rome and favored the Empire, and which were loyal to Rome.

For those who dislike Rome, the Imperial Cabinet will do its best to persuade them to return to the Empire with the Imperial fleet and join the Imperial Nationality to serve the Empire by introducing talents. Those who were loyal to Rome imposed restrictions on them, and tried to exclude them from the courtyard as soon as possible.

In addition to the batch of fine works that remained in the port to absorb Roman scholars, there was also a batch of fine works that directly infiltrated the city of Rome. When the predominantly female members entered Rome, they rented a mansion in an area of the city where the wealthy lived. After a short period of repairs, they began to put up lights in the house, hang red lanterns, spread red silk, and set up red couches. A family belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D. settled in Rome.

As soon as they opened their doors to welcome guests, knew the tea ceremony, were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could speak fluent Roman or Greek, the imperial female students immediately attracted the fanatical pursuit of the Roman elite.

They talked to the beautiful girl from Seris, listened to the piano and painted, chess, Go, mahjong...... All kinds of new forms of entertainment made them want to stop, and they suddenly felt that this was called elegant enjoyment. Compared to the gentle, beautiful, and erudite Miss Seris, the woman she slept with before was simply a savage woman. They would like to spend as much as they want to spend with Miss Seris.

Thus, with the help of a series of flesh trades, the women of the empire quickly figured out the current situation in Rome.

Overall, the situation is encouraging. As the consul of the chaotic era of the Roman Empire, Severus was not popular, and both the people and the Senate had great opinions about him, and it was unlikely that it would not be long before Rome experienced a coup d'état.
