"Thanks to Your Majesty's preparation, otherwise, even if you want to ask Gaius to help, you can't find an excuse."

Thinking of this, Fugui was happy for a while. Because he knows quite well that as long as he is an emperor, it is not something that ordinary people can see casually. Therefore, if you want to introduce the Roman emperor through Gaius, you must have a valid reason. If you tell people that when I see your emperor, I want to sell him some white powder, and I will be regarded as a psychopath. It was precisely because of this that before setting off again, Liu Hong thought of a good rhetoric for Fugui, that is, to unite with Rome and rebuild the Suez Canal.

The Suez Canal is an important canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. It was built as early as 1,800 years ago by Sinusel III. After 250 BC, it was acquired by Ptolemy II and continued to excavate. In 117 BC the Roman king Trajan opened it, but then abandoned it. And now, this half-abandoned canal is remembered by Liu Hong. Because he knew that once the canal was opened, the distance from Asia to Europe could be shortened by almost half.

In fact, Liu Hong had already been fighting for such an important canal, if it wasn't too far away from Dahan, he would have sent someone to dig it again. And now, Liu Hong wants to comprehensively promote white powder to Europe, and he thought of it again for the first time. Because using it as an excuse to see the Roman emperor with wealth is definitely killing two birds with one stone. After all, if the Roman emperor had agreed to dig and open the canal again, the Han would definitely have benefited greatly. And even if the Roman emperor disagreed, it didn't matter. Anyway, his original purpose was to let Fugui meet the Roman emperor and take the opportunity to sell him white powder.

Fugui didn't know Liu Hong's plans, but he admired Liu Hong's precautions. So, after a sigh from him. He spoke, "Count Gaius, in addition to conducting commerce, I also have a mission this time, which is to communicate with your Roman Emperor on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of our Han Dynasty, I wonder if you can introduce it on your behalf?" ”

"Oh, Viscount Fugui, I didn't expect you to be an envoy of the Great Han." Gaius heard the words of Fuguius. He didn't show any surprise, and then said: "Since you are an envoy, you don't need my recommendation at all, you can go directly to the Internal Affairs Office or find the consul." ”

"Made, if only I could find them. What a cock I'm telling you! Listening to Gaius's words, Fugui was slandered for a while. Then he shook his head and said, "Count Gaius, you misunderstood. Although I am the viscount of the Han Dynasty, I am not an official of the Han Dynasty, so I cannot be an envoy. And I want to see your emperor this time, it's just that our majesty has a little personal matter, and I want to discuss it with your emperor, let me communicate in advance. If your emperor is also interested, our Majesty will send an official envoy. ”

"Not an envoy!" Hearing Fuguius's words, Gaius was in trouble.

You must know that Fugui is said to be the emperor who represents the Han Dynasty. But since it is not an official envoy and there is no national credential, who can say whether this thing is true or false? And with Fugui's current status, he is just a viscount, and he is still a businessman, how can he be qualified to meet their emperor with such an identity. If someone else said this, he could have rejected it. But this rich man has a large number of goods in demand from the big man in his hands, if he refuses and makes Fugui feel guilty, then he will definitely have twists and turns if he wants to buy goods here in Fugui in the future. And if he helps with this, if what Fugui says is false, he may be found guilty by their emperor.

For a while, Gaius didn't agree, he didn't agree, he could only sit there with a gloomy face and constantly think about the gains and losses of things. And seeing Gaius's expression, Fugui guessed his concerns.

"Sure enough, if you introduce someone to the emperor, you have to weigh it if you are a person!" Thinking of this, Fugui spoke, "Count Gaius, are you worried that I am lying to you?" ”

"Viscount Fugui, it's not that I don't believe you. As you know, we have just ended the situation of the two emperors here, and the situation is quite complicated. Therefore, even if I want to introduce you, you have to tell me, Your Majesty, what do you want to discuss with our emperor? ”

"Count Gaius, you need not worry about this at all." Speaking of this, Fugui smiled, "Our Majesty asked me to discuss with your emperor this time about the re-crossing of the Suez Canal. You say, something like this could have been done by a little viscount of mine. ”

Hearing Fugui's words, Gaius was relieved, such a thing as crossing the canal was really not a matter that a small viscount was worried about, and it must have been ordered by their emperor.

"Okay, since the Viscount of Fugui has said so, I will help you introduce it on your behalf. But whether it works out or not, that's not up to me. ”

"Count Gaius, you are a good friend!" As he spoke, Fugui, with a smile on his face, took out a rather fine cigarette case made of silver from his bosom, took out two cigars from it, handed one to Gaius, and said, "Since you are a friend enough, I am also interesting enough." Let you taste the latest high-quality goods made by our Han. ”

"Fine-quality goods?" Gaius took the cigar, put it to his nose and asked, "Isn't this just a cigar, I've already had a lot of goods from you, is there any difference between this one and the ones I entered?" ”

"Of course!" Speaking of this, Fugui looked at ease, "In this cigar, it is added with the latest fairy powder developed by our Han." As long as you smoke it, it will be fluttering! ”

"Ah, it's so amazing, then you have to try it!" Hearing Fugui's words so mysterious, Gaius immediately lit his cigar.

"Made, there are not many of such high-grade things, and I didn't want to give you a little earl. But Tamad asked you to do a little favor, and you had to think about it for a long time, so don't blame me for attacking you first. Although Fugui was ruthless in his heart, he didn't show it at all on the surface. When he saw Gaius light the spiced cigar, he also lit the unpowdered cigar in his hand. After taking a sip, he looked at Gaius with a smile on his face and asked, "How is it, my friend, I didn't lie to you, did I?" ”

Gaius, who smoked white powder for the first time, was directly overwhelmed by that strong feeling. He closed his eyes and leaned softly in his chair, looking intoxicated, where was he still in the mood to care about wealth.

"My day, this white powder is so powerful!" Seeing the power of white powder for the first time made Fugui a little shocked. And at this time, Gaius, who had eased up, grabbed Fugui in one hand, "My friend, this thing is really amazing, how many you have, I want them all!" ”

"My day, just a little earl of you, I want it all, it's really shameless!" After a while, Fugui pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Count Gaius, don't you know, this fairy powder is quite precious, and the entire Han Dynasty can't produce much in a year. If I hadn't been in charge of the Western caravans for our Majesty, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing at all. And now I've gone to great lengths to get such a batch, and it's just for me to smoke, not for sale. So, I can only say sorry for your request. ”

"Don't be like this, my friend, you say, how much does this thing cost, I will definitely not bargain!"

That feeling of fluttering fairy made Gaius quite addicted, and it was precisely because of this that he realized the value of this thing, so as long as he could get it, he could do whatever it taked.

"Count Gaius, my friend, it's really not a matter of money. As long as the output of this thing is too small, it's not good! ”

"Isn't it funny? You liar, if that's the case, you will never take it out in front of me. And since you took it out, you just want to sell it for a good price! Hearing Fugui's words, Gaius was contemptuous for a while, but in order to get white powder, he had to beg for words, "Viscount Fugui, we are friends." Besides, I'm going to introduce you to our Emperor. As long as you divide a batch with me, I promise to let you meet our emperor!" ”

"Promise to see your emperor, that's pretty much it!" Hearing this, Fugui, who was secretly satisfied, pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I said Count Gaius, you really make me embarrassed. Although I have some fairy powder in this shipment, these fairy powders are the amount I spent a lot of effort to get for me to smoke this year. And if I give you a portion of it, I won't have enough to smoke myself! ”

"You have been smoking for a year, and you have brought it all here, who are you fooling!" If you are rich, Gaius doesn't believe it at all, "Viscount Fugui, I believe that with your ability, after returning to Dahan, you will definitely be able to get it." And these goods, you can give them to me, no matter how much it is, whatever you say, I don't think it's a bargain! ”

"You can't live by doing your own evil, since you strongly ask for it, then you can't blame me!"

Fugui also knew that his words could not fool Gaius. And he let Gaius smoke the white powder, also in order to control him with the white powder. Now that he has such a strong demand, Fugui will sell a batch of white powder to Gaius. Completed this white powder, the first transaction in the world.

"Baby, I've finally got you!"

Holding those white powders, Gaius is like holding a lover in his arms, and the excitement is indescribable. He knows quite well that if he uses this thing well, his career will definitely rise to the top. Thinking of this, Gaius could not stay any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to wealth and wealth, and went to Commodus to offer treasures. (To be continued......)
