I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 822, Civilization Exchange

At this time, the Roman Empire was also in a prosperous age. Under the rule of the Five Sage Emperors, the Roman Empire conquered all countries and civilizations within its known range.

But under the prosperous age, hidden worries have already appeared, especially in the world that Xu Weimo has changed, there are more worries.

For the Roman emperor La Caraca at that time, the Seres had re-opened the Silk Road, and the purchase of silk sugar, tea, and porcelain to Rome was the biggest worry.

Ordinary Roman nobles were crazy about these goods, but he could only watch in horror as the real gold and silver of the Roman Empire flowed into the sky like water, and finally flowed into the hands of the legendary Seres.

In the past, the Silk Road was on land. No matter how expensive a few bolts of silk were, to the Roman Empire, they were nothing more than mosquitoes sucking blood.

But now a single ship of the Tianfang people can transport thousands of bolts of silk. This is not a mosquito sucking blood, but a knife to cut flesh on the Roman Empire.

This kind of behavior caused the emperor Caraca of the Roman Empire to suffer, because a large amount of real money was lost, which had begun to cause extremely serious deflation within the Roman Empire.

He convened the most cutting-edge scholars in the entire empire, and wanted them to discuss a good solution to solve this problem, but they discussed it for several years, but they couldn't find a good solution to this problem.

The only thing he can do is to restrict the fleet of Tianfang people from coming to Rome, and use this method to reduce the speed of the loss of gold and silver from the empire.

But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. It is difficult for modern countries to completely control smuggling, let alone Rome, which is still in a feudal empire.

Because of the emergence of the ban on the sea, the merchants of Tianfang quickly colluded with the merchants of the Roman Empire. Dozens of smuggling networks formed within the entire Roman Empire. They used this method to overcome the ban of the Roman Empire. The emperor of the Roman Empire Thousands of years in advance, I experienced the treatment of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.As far as the emperor of Rome is concerned about these smugglers, it is one thing.

The sudden appearance of Zhen Xing and the others made the emperor of the Roman Empire a little overjoyed. If they could directly open up trade routes with the Seres, the Romans would be able to bypass the vampires in the sky and directly trade silk with the Seres.With the communication of goods between the two sides open, Rome will not have to worry about continuing to lose blood like this.

So after Zhen Xing and the others came to Rome, they were treated extremely well, and the emperor's envoy personally welcomed them to Rome in Gaul.This prevented Zhen Xing and they were sold into gladiators.

And Zhen Xing and the others traveled across most of the Roman Empire, and saw that the Roman roads were not inferior to the big concrete roads.The elevated aqueduct, the unique irrigation technology of Dagan, also appeared in Rome, which shocked them even more.

They sailed tens of thousands of miles all the way, all the way was wild, there was no so-called country at all, and now the level of civilization of the Roman Empire was only a little worse than theirs, and it was a completely different world from the savage countries along the coast.

What excited them the most was that there was also a large bath in Rome. When they discovered this, they soaked in the bath for a whole day.

Finally, when they came to Rome, they were warmly received by the Roman emperor. During these three months, Zhen Xing also learned the Roman language, and could communicate with the high-level officials of the Roman Empire without barriers.

Of course, in order to make the other party value him, and also to ensure his own life, Zhen Xing highlighted that he was a student of the emperor of the Daqian Empire.

Sure enough, this status has greatly improved his treatment, and made the high-level officials in Rome pay attention to Zhen Xing.

Then the Roman emperors and scholars communicated with Zhen Xing, they were eager to know the situation in the Reese Empire.

After the dialogue with Zhen Xing, the Seris Empire has been completed, and the dynasty has changed. Now the Seris people's country is called Dagan, and the ruler of the country is an emperor named Wei.

Under the leadership of this great emperor, the Serese people's country has been fully revived, and an extremely large empire has been established. If Zhen Xing and the others are not lying, this empire is actually two or three times larger than their Roman Empire, 7 million has twice the population of their empire.

Scholars in Rome couldn't believe this. In their view, the Roman Empire was the most powerful place in the world, but they didn't expect that there would be a country even stronger than the Roman Empire in the easternmost part of this continent. mighty empire.

Of course, the thing that shocked these scholars the most was that the country of the Seres people was clearly in the east of the Roman Empire. According to their speculation, the road would take tens of thousands of miles, and Zhen Xing and the others went all the way from the country of the people of Seres to the east of the Roman Empire. Going east, I actually came to the west of the Roman Empire.

According to them, the earth is a sphere, so they have already circled the earth for a week.

This statement shocked the scholars of the entire Roman Empire. The round sky is also a truth recognized by Roman scholars. From this point of view, they are not as good as Zhang Heng, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He once guessed that the earth is round by observing the starry sky. Ball, just not confirmed.

Of course, Zhen Xing's statement was quickly accepted by the scholars of the Roman Empire. If it was not true, there was no way to explain why Zhen Xing and the others appeared in Gaul. Rome has little influence, and no one said that Zhen Xing would be burned to death.

Later, the two sides also exchanged economic, political and cultural information. Roman scholars were astonished to discover that this emperor named Wei had been to Rome?
Because they found that the country of the Sires did not have the concept of governing, but it was the emperor Wei who first proposed it, and they even established the Senate.From the exchange, I learned that the Senate was also established in the past ten years, as well as the Roman avenue, the elevated aqueduct, and the large bathroom. If all these facilities are coincidences, it would be too coincidental.

Of course, there is also a bit of irony. The Roman republic has been over for hundreds of years, and now their ruling has been called the Roman emperor. Instead, the emperor of the Seres has become the ruling.

Of course, after their in-depth exchanges, they had no choice but to admit that the Sirisian empire might really be stronger than them. The cannons that appeared in Tianfang these years were actually made by the Serisians, and Zhen Xing's ship also had these artillery pieces.

The emperor of the Roman Empire immediately bought all the cannons on Zhenxing's ship with gold.

Because after the artillery was available these days, it caused tremendous pressure on the borders of the Roman Empire, but it was difficult for their trebuchets and Greek fire to fight back.
