Qin Feng, the Emperor of Hongwu, secretly allocated nearly 100 tons of gold reserves and sent capable agents to Rome to open an underground bank.

However, the Romans were not fools and could not have believed in the underground banks that suddenly appeared. So, find a way.

Qin Feng, the Emperor of Hongwu, pointed out that it is necessary to start with influence and old stores.

The celebrity effect combined with high returns and false guarantees deceived the trust of the Romans and sucked up the savings in a big way.

"That's how the plan ......." Pang Tong said.

Zhou Shan smiled, "Strategist, then, how do we implement it?" ”

Pang Tong laughed, "This is simple, the emperor's plan is very perfect, let's not add to it, just follow it." First of all, let's find a famous and middle-aged old nobleman in this Roman city, and it would be good to have an old shop, and after that, we will be so and so ....... ”

Zhou Shan nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the military advisor said is not bad, this Roman city is actually not as prosperous as before, and the declining old nobles must be easy to find." ”

"Rome is no longer prosperous...... Pang Tong threw away a tacit expression, and the two laughed.

Pang Tong jumped up from his chair and waved his hand loudly: "The world, only one prosperous Great Qin is enough. Come on, it's getting late, let's take action! ”

"Whoa!" The accompanying intelligence agents were immediately dispatched.

Early the next morning, information came.

Zhou Shan read the information: "Schipio, fifty-eight years old, descendant of the Scipio family. This family is the family of Xuanhe in Roman history, the ancestor Publius. Cornelius, defeated Hannibal at the Battle of Zama. It ended the Second Punic War and was named Scipio. Afterward...... Like many bloodlines. In the end, it was a decline. ”

Pang Tong nibbled on a few mouthfuls of Roman bread and took the information to read for himself. After a while, he said: "This old guy is very famous in the city of Rome, and if he wants to restore the glory of the Fù family, he has no money, so he can take advantage of it." Lord Zhou, when will you be able to get in touch, I'll meet this old guy. ”

Zhou Shan smiled, "Like many declining families, this person is selling his ancestral property again, and this time he is selling the opera house on the side of the square in the east of the city." ”

"Oh?" Pang Tongyi was stunned. "This old guy has a thick enough background."

The Roman Forum was the center of civil society, political and religious life in Rome, as well as the seat of various commercial activities. To put it bluntly, it is a center of communication for residents, and there is everything. To be able to own an opera house in such a place is a symbol of status and status. ”

Zhou Shan said: "His ancestors were consuls, just like Severus's current status, this square is called Scipio Square. It was built to commemorate the victory of his ancestors over Hannibal. It is better not to fight the idea of a square, because this square is a symbol of an era, expensive and easy to expose. ”

Opera house. There must have been many aristocrats who came to "listen to the play". Pang Tong nodded and said, "It's okay, let's buy an opera house." Get in touch with this old guy. Didn't he want to restore the glory of the Fù family, then his chance had come. ”

Three days later.

Pang Tong and Zhou Shan visited the opera house called "Glory". Large vaulted dome with two floors. The bottom is a normal location, and the second floor is a private room. Like the Western opera houses in later generations, there is a stage in front of it, which is used for opera.

Then the two followed old Schipio to his office, where they sat down at a rectangular table. Old Schipio, with reluctance, asked his entourage to make three cups of tea.

Old Schipio said: "This is the tip of the hair from Daqin, please taste it." ”

There are ten famous teas in Huaxia, but many of them do not have the names of later generations at this time, and these names are all named by Qin Feng.

"Hairy tip?" Pang Tong scratched his dyed blonde hair, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and when he was about to spit it out, he was kicked by Zhou Shan under his feet. Boom, Pang Tong barely swallowed, tears were about to come out, and his heart said What kind of bullshit is this "hairy tip" This is "hairy tail", right?

However, he still said "firmly": "Good tea, good tea...... He looked at Zhou Shan again, which meant, "You are not sincere in doing business, and you are deceiving foreigners." ”

Zhou Shan frowned for a while, which means, "What our Royal Chamber of Commerce buys is genuine, and what others sell, it doesn't matter what we do." ”

Pang Tong rolled his eyes and said to Old Schipio: "Your Excellency, your tea is honest, not much, I have good tea here, and I will give you a pack." ”

The old Schipio family had declined, and he couldn't listen to the words "not much", and was very dissatisfied, and said: "Your Excellency Goss Roma has never heard of the 'Goss Roma' family. "His real intention is to say that Pang Tong is a small local family and doesn't understand anything.

Pang Tongyi smiled and said, "The contemptible people are from Egypt, and many people stayed in Egypt back then, and my family is one of them. Speaking of which, my ancestors followed your ancestors in conquering Egypt. ”

When old Schipio heard this, he immediately felt a sense of intimacy and a little ashamed, and said in his heart: "His ancestors were only followers of my ancestors back then, and now their families are prosperous, but my family is declining, I am really sorry for the ...... ancestors." ”

So, Pang Tong intentionally, the two sides remembered the bittersweet memories and finally reached a deal. Pang Tong sold the opera house at a suitable price.

Then, a large piece of dog's head gold was placed in front of old Schipio.

The old guy was very excited to see money, money is a good thing. If you want him to glorify the family like this, as long as you have enough money to revitalize it, you will be able to re-enter the Senate. On the other hand, the Senate is all rich and honorable, and all of them are indispensable, and if you have no money, you will naturally be kicked out.

The world of Rome is very realistic, and during the republican period, the army of the Roman Republic was actually a combination of legions under the elders of the Senate. The elders are responsible for a part of the country, and the wars are all major and large, and they have to pay for borrowing soldiers or something. Whoever is the strongest is the consul. Caesar was the strongest and became a consul for life. If you are not convinced, you will go head-to-head. The most famous is Antony's head-to-head with Caesar's nephew Octavian, who won and began the imperial system.

Old Schipio kindly reminded: "Your Excellency Gossima, it is inconvenient to bring this gold, you can go to the Imperial Capital Bank and exchange the gold for huàn banknotes." Don't worry, these banknotes can be exchanged for huàn gold at any time. After speaking, he also took out a few banknotes and showed them to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong took it and looked at it, "Sai Jinmao", and said in his heart: "Compared with my emperor's "Grandpa Qin", this workmanship is much worse. I can't do anything, I still want to steal the division, look at His Excellency Gosroma in this army, and kill Rome. ”

Since the old Schipio mentioned this banknote, Pang Tong also pushed the boat along the river and said: "Your Excellency, the junior has an immature idea and wants to discuss it with the senior. ”

Old Schipio took the gold, and then said, "Your Excellency Gossima, please speak ......." ”

"So, so, ......."

Pang Tong also said that he wanted to open a bank, and he did not hesitate to say anything, saying that he had a big industry, and he opened a bank to absorb savings and use it to invest and make money. Pang Tong's mouth was already good, and he was tempered in the constant struggle with Lao Jia Xu. It was called a foolish fall, and the old Schipio was immediately confused.

Rome was stealing, and there was no rule that individuals were not allowed to open banks.

However, the old Schipio who only thought that Pang Tong had great ability to make a lot of money still maintained a certain level of sobriety, and tactfully reminded Pang Tong, which means to say, "Can you do it?" How much gold do you have as capital? ”

The next day, the elder Schipio was invited by Pang Tong to the Glory Opera House, which had become the Gaussroma family.

"Tea! Finest hair tips. This time, Pang Tong sat on the main seat.

As soon as Old Schipio drank it, he suddenly trembled and exclaimed: "Good tea, good tea, this is the tip ......of the hair." After saying that, he blushed, and psychologically, he immediately succumbed to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong took the opportunity to let old Schipio see his strong power again, and the big wooden boxes were full of gold nuggets.

Old Schipio trembled in shock, he had never seen such a rich person, even those elders of the Senate could be richer than Pang Tong There were only a handful.

In the end, Pang Tong sent a large bag of hairy tips, and then said: "Senior, junior has just come to Rome City and wants to ask for a recommendation from seniors." ”

Old Schipio immediately understood that Pang Tong wanted to invite him to join the high society of Rome as a guide. The upper class of the city of Rome is different from the local high society, which is a large family of honorable state, and there are many people whose ancestors have served as consuls, at least from the Senate.

It's not easy to join such an upper-class society.

However, Pang Tong had already shown his strength, and bought the opera house of the old Schipio and gave tea. Old Schipio agreed, and came up with the idea: "You can hold an opera party in high society at the opera house, and at the meeting, I will recommend you." ”

Pang listened to it in unison, and made an appointment for the evening in seven days.

Seeing off the old Schipio here, Zhou Shan said: "Strategist, if you really want to have an opera meeting, then you have to rehearse as much as possible, and you have to choose a good repertoire." ”

Pang Tongyi wiped his nose and said, "Have a fart opera party, and when the time comes, see how this military division makes these nobles take out the money." ”

In the days that followed, a joint invitation from the Gaussroma family and the old Schipio family was distributed to the homes of the city's nobles, saying: "There will be an evening ...... at the Glory Opera." ”

If Pang Tong invited him alone, it is estimated that no one would come, but it was different with Schipio. Old Schipio admires the Gauss Romana family very much, and the vision of the old Schipio has nothing to say, and I think this Gaussholma family has a lot of background. Moreover, the upper class played banquets to deepen communication and increase fame. So, many families sent people here.

On the night of the banquet, the lights inside and outside the opera house flickered, the red carpet was rolled out, and the attendants were well-trained and solemnly dressed, and the hosts were not mortals at first glance. As night fell, the lights came on, and the carriages arrived, and the nobles walked down, men wearing Roman robes that covered their chests and shoulders, dyed with golden hair.

The women are even more incredible, all of them are Daqin LV brand, all kinds of stockings, and high heels are like a forest. Coupled with the "open" clothes of Roman women, it looks exactly like the red carpet in Hollywood. (To be continued......)
