Chapter 714: Jia Xu Makes a Deal

The winter capital, Ctesiphon, is located in the middle of the later Iranian plateau, which is the center of the West Asian world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lao Jia Xu entered the winter capital and felt exotic. Before he came, Qin Feng told him to sell as high as possible, but not less than 400,000 grains. But Qin Feng still gave the decision, he told Lao Jia Xu that the Romans were 'garbage' to the alliance, or 'garbage' that would eat grain. If the rest of the people are unwilling to give a high price, Lao Jia Xu can look at it and sell it casually.

Qin Feng hopes to be able to get rid of this Roman garbage as soon as possible, as the current lack of food in the alliance is also due to the fact that these 400,000 Roman garbage are eating and drinking.

In the Arabian-style dome palace, the high-level resting officials gathered.

"What? 400,000 Roman captives for food! The retainers were shocked.

400,000 slaves, that's a lot of money.

"I wonder how much food the champion plans to exchange?" Young Vologis V asked.

After three interpreters translated into three Chinese languages, the two sides were able to communicate. Although it was a bit of trouble, I was able to communicate.

Lao Jia sighed, "I won't talk about this old man, the opposite side is the emperor of an empire, and he still needs three rounds of translation to be able to communicate." And my father-in-law has a lot ...... Chinese words. ”

"How much grain for what? 600,000 ....... Lao Jia Xu stretched out six fingers. This guy is 200,000 more than the 400,000 instructed by Qin Feng.

"What, six hundred thousand?" Vologis V was taken aback, this was about to catch up with the strategic reserves of the Rest Empire's army.

Old Barrier, the Prime Minister of the Empire, came out and said, "Your envoy, the number of transactions requested by your alliance is too expensive. ”

The Imperial Minister of Finance, Agnes, snapped his fingers and said, "I think, 200,000 is about the same." ”

Lao Jia Xu rolled his eyes at him for a while, this is really a lion's big mouth, and he cut more than half of his waist.

Vologis V nodded and said, "Yes, two hundred thousand is a reasonable price." ”

In fact, the Sabbath Empire was very interested in acquiring Roman slaves, which came from two aspects, on the one hand, Sabbath and Rome were feuds, and on the other hand, slaves did not need to be paid, and the output of a slave was three times that of a commoner.

Lao Jia Xu looked very disappointed, bowed his hand, and said: "The rest people are friends, trustworthy friends, and I hope to carry out this trade with a fair and fair attitude." ”

Including Vologis V, the rest of the high-level was very embarrassed.

Lao Jia Xu took the opportunity to start persuading, "Your Majesty, ministers. Let's not talk about the value of 400,000 slaves, let's talk about the identity of these slaves, this is Roman slaves. Lao Jia Xu was quite excited, "Think about it, in the past thousand years, who has used Roman slaves?" The whole Western world trembled under the iron hooves of the Romans, and 40 million people of all nationalities became Roman slaves. ”

Old Jia Xu spat stars, "Your country will become the first country in the history of the world to use Roman slaves, which is enough to go down in history, and the prestige of Allah will resound throughout the world." Old Jia Xu finally stood in front of the Imperial Finance Minister Agnes, "You say, how much is this prestige worth?" ”

Agnes lifted his sleeve and wiped his face with his gold-trimmed cuffs, retching.

"Priceless!" Old Jia Xu raised his hand and said loudly.

Everyone, including Vologis V, had their eyes shining and nodding frequently.

"Otherwise, how about 300,000?" Vologis V.

Old Jia Xu rolled his eyes for a while, and he walked in front of the rest of the ministers, and said as he walked: "The most heroic centurion of Rome, the noble general of Rome, the tribune, and the consul, will pull the cart for you." ”

The ministers of peace were excited.

Old Jia Xu walked all the way to the throne and said, "The beautiful lady of Rome ......." As he spoke, he gave Vologis V a look that a man would understand.

The young Vologis V was very capable, and at that time he had in his mind the bewitching appearance of a Roman noblewoman. To be honest, he really hadn't touched a Roman woman, and he really wanted to. But the Roman noblewoman could not engage Vologis V under normal circumstances, which came from the culture and hatred of both sides. But if it was a slave, it would be different, Vologis V Jelly, and immediately said: "So be it, 400,000 grains." ”

This has reached Qin Feng's instructions, but Lao Jia Xu is not satisfied, he plays on the spot, and he feels that there is still room for price increases. He began to say again, "Your Majesty, this is 400,000 sturdy slaves, and how much you can produce in the next twenty or thirty years, your country's treasurer will definitely be able to calculate." ”

"400,000 slaves, whether it is clearing the land or farming, it only takes two years for you to be able to recover the cost, and the remaining thirty years are earned. You can't be so bad at a loss. ”

"It's ......." Vologis V hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then so be it, 500,000 grains, no more." ”

Lao Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of banter, and he began to say solemnly again, "Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Among these slaves, there were both men and women. Men are slaves from generation to generation, women are slaves from generation to generation, and the next generation of slaves is born, and thousands of years are endless, how much can they produce? You can't be so bad to a friend. ”

Men are slaves from generation to generation! Female slaves from generation to generation! The high-level of Anxi's head was shocked, and he felt that what Lao Jia Xu said was too reasonable.

"Okay, then 600,000, this number is what you just proposed, and it can't be increased." Vologis V gritted his teeth and said.

In this regard, the Roman garbage that the alliance did not want was sold by Lao Jia for a 'reasonable' price of 600,000.

In this way, the rest got the garbage that the princes' alliance did not want, and for this paid for the food strategic reserves of almost the entire imperial military.

Five days later, the old Jia Xu, who was walking on the road built by Rome, returned to the Union Army.

"How about Wenhe, how much did it sell, is it enough for us?" Qin Feng asked urgently.

The princes pricked up their ears.

Lao Jia Xu saluted and said: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, so I sold 600,000 grains. ”

Hum~, the princes poured it into the oil pot like cold water, and it was fried at that time.

"Incompetence also sold 600,000!"

"200,000 more than expected!"

"It's all incompetence, so aren't we mentally retarded!"

Liu Bei's big ears swirled for a while, "Wenhe Military Division, how did you sell it?" ”

Lao Jia Xu came one by one.

Men are slaves from generation to generation! Female slaves from generation to generation! The princes were shocked.

Liu Bei's ears fanned, and he said in his heart that it was too despicable, but whoever followed Qin Zi in, none of them were good. This old guy looks kind, but it's so dark.

Qin Feng laughed and said, "Okay, sell well." Buying and selling should be done like this, Wen He has made a great contribution, and when His Majesty is saved, he will definitely be rewarded. ”

Lao Jia Xu hurriedly and modestly stood aside.

As a result, the problem of grain and grass for the alliance of princes was solved, and Qin Feng began to attack 'Ankara', and ordered Liu Bei to attack 'Antalya', and Cao Cao to attack Istanbul. Qin Feng particularly emphasized that the three-way army will join forces in the future to seize this important seaport city leading to Greece.

Almost at the same time, Severus' army of 300,000 arrived by ship at the seaport of the Buddha in western Asia Minor.
