Chapter 1951 Silk Defense System
...
Under their own ideas, everyone is short of time, and naturally they will not give up the short-lived peace and then give themselves time.
"This war is good, it wins both sides!" Li Jue was very satisfied with the results of the coordination.
If you accept someone else's employment, you can get a generous salary, and then if you defeat the enemy, you will also get a huge war reparations. It's not a loss, not at all.
Compared with the previous prices, Li Jue didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior. Taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters was appropriate, very appropriate.
"It just feels weird." Guo Si always felt that something was wrong with this very normal behavior.
Only Xu Shu sighed, because he knew very well that something was wrong with this situation.
Although they and the Roman army participated in the war, in a real sense, the ones who needed to make the decision were the Parthian Empire and the other side, because they were the hired party, they were guests, not hosts.
However, Sima Yi did not care about this, and Li Jue and others did not react in time, so the main tone was set.
Even Yukello, who represented the Parthian Empire, did not react to this behavior in this situation. What did it mean?
It can be said that in an instant, the master-slave relationship between the two parties seemed to have been determined.
Ganasis was not surprised by this. It was paying money to the Han Empire, not to the Parthian Empire. What was the problem?
Anyway, all the money they earned along the way basically belonged to the Padya Empire. Even if they gave part of it to the Han Empire, they would still make a profit.
Moreover, thinking of a certain possibility, Ganasis turned around and asked his camp leader, "Do you think we can make more money by harvesting Parthia together with the Han Empire?"
There is no way. For Ganasis at this time, making money is also a very important thing.
The reason is that the price of silk has increased.
That's right, because after Lu Qi took charge of Pamirs, he brought peace and stability to the surrounding area and ensured the smooth flow of roads, allowing more silk to flow to the west.
But this did not stabilize the price of silk, but made it more expensive.
Because the quantity was small in the past, the nobles maintained a certain reserve and adhered to certain rules, so the price remained relatively stable within a range.
But as the number increases, surpassing the previous number, a huge cake naturally emerges.
Under normal circumstances, in order to seize the market, the price must fall. However, for the Roman Empire, silk is a very important commodity.
Even if the number doubles, it is just a drop in the bucket, the supply is far less than the demand, and the previous unspoken rules are directly broken.
The highest bidder wins, which has become the most normal state in the market. Then, as expected, an accident occurred and the price soared at an extremely fast speed.
Especially among these silks, there are some unprecedented good things, comparable to the most precious treasures, and the prices are soaring all the way to a level that others cannot understand.
But what if the price is higher?
As a noble, especially a top noble in the Roman Empire, is it possible not to wear it?
Even the Roman Emperor Severus, who shouted at people not to buy silk, didn’t he wear silk?
How can a Roman nobleman be called a noble if he doesn't wear silk?
Especially those good things, which are beyond the past and have never appeared before, are now exposed in front of us, so naturally we have to buy them first.
As for not having enough money, Ganasis could use another way to get it, and that was to use the force in his hands to pressure Parthia, which collected violent tolls, and get what he wanted.
But now it seems that I miscalculated, but it is not a big loss. The money I got should be able to be exchanged for some silk. After Ganasis calculated the amount of money paid and the amount of money left, he thought with relief.
The main reason for this revolutionary result was Lu Qi.
There is no way. The most profitable business in the world, apart from completing the system industrial chain, the most profitable and the most terrifying is silk.
As long as it can be shipped out of the Han Empire, even if it reaches the Parthian Empire, the sales amount can be increased tenfold.
From Parthia to the Roman Empire, the price could increase tenfold, so that in the Roman Empire, the price of silk was equal to, or even higher than, the same weight of gold.
From this perspective, we can see how much money the Parthian Empire made.
If the Roman Empire had not occasionally taken advantage of the situation, its finances might have been completely destroyed by silk.
It can even be said that the war between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire was largely due to the Silk War.
The higher the price Parthia was sold at, the more Rome would have to fight Parthia. The more severely it was beaten and the more losses it suffered, the higher the price it had to sell at to make up for the losses.
Faced with Parthia, which was sold at a higher price, Rome naturally took a harder approach, and it became a vicious cycle...
It can be said that even if Luci, who wanted to consolidate the country and maintain road stability, raised the toll to 50%, it seemed to have made huge profits, but compared with the selling price of Parthia, it can only be said to be not worth mentioning.
A 50% increase will be used to maintain the tranquility of roads and routes and the stability of the surrounding society. It can be said that it is taken from the people and used for the people.
The other one directly sold it at ten times the price. It was obvious who was the unscrupulous businessman.
Even Luci was powerless to stop Parthia's suicidal behavior.
Generally speaking, as long as Parthia dares to unilaterally lower the price, propose a so-called peace agreement, and bundle it with silk, let alone one or two years of peace, even long-term peace, logically speaking, would not be a big problem.
After all, the Roman Empire had already been overfed, and if it wanted to forcibly swallow the Parthian Empire, it would most likely be overfed to death. It was well known that the Roman Empire was short-sighted.
In this case, as long as Silk is tied to national security, it can be said that it is a safe group.
Because silk was something that could really be tied to the nobility of the Roman Empire. No matter whether it was the knight class or the citizen class, they had to succumb to everyone's crazy love for silk.
When war is provoked, the price of silk rises wildly; when peace is maintained, the price of silk is extremely stable.
It can be said that this is a fairly stable method, as for its only flaw.
"The Parthian Empire is just a transit merchant and will never have the ability to produce and manufacture silk. Therefore, this method has no room for implementation from the beginning!" Lu Qi calmly spoke of the peaceful method, further tempting this patriot.
Moreover, compared to danger, visible benefits are more tempting to people... (End of this chapter)
