Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1605 Dream and reality

  Many people may think that they are a fool, such a fool if they are so wise, but in fact, among these so-called fools, most of them are real fools...

  However, for Yang Xiu, he really wanted to become a wise and foolish fool, but unfortunately there was no way.

After accompanying Fu Dian and Xun You to Chang'an, he visited Fei Qian once from a distance, and then participated in the promotion ceremony of the hussars as a spectator, and basically stayed in the temporary residence for the rest. Being summoned by hussars, and no one else came to visit, was completely different from when the Yang family was in Chang'an.

  Although Yang Xiu can understand that it is natural to follow the high and step on the low, the question is, has the Yang family really fallen to such a level?

  Should we continue to wait, or take the initiative?

After holding back at home for a few days, Yang Xiu couldn't hold it anymore. After dressing up calmly, he deliberately ate a half-full meal. The main thing was to eat some hard wheat cakes. Make any indecent noises when you are hungry, and on the other hand, you should not eat too much, so as not to fall asleep during the waiting process and show some ridiculous behavior...

   But the problem is, when Yang Xiu arrived at Huqi's mansion and handed over the famous assassin to ask for an interview, he was not received immediately, but continued to wait in the gatehouse at the side, and the first person to go in was actually a Semu man!

  Semuren!

  Damn it, can't I, the dignified Hongnong Yang, still be in front of a Semu person!

Yang Xiu only felt dizziness in his head, and his blood was rising. It seemed that his face was also hot, but he couldn't show it in front of outsiders. Yang Xiu knew that he was also waiting under the gatehouse to report to the general Other Chang'an officials may not be unable to see his current embarrassment, but the problem is that Yang Xiu also knows that the more he is in such a situation, the less he can reveal anything. He can only maintain a stiff smile like a wooden man, maintaining his original posture...

  Fei Qian didn't have much thought to care about whether Yang Xiu would have any kind of small thoughts because he was waiting for a color-eyed person. According to Fei Qian's cognition, as long as he queued up according to the rules, it was the most fair treatment. In the later generations, those who take care of the big players in the bank, jump in the queue for these guys, and discriminate against ordinary users are simply smearing the face of the entire banking company, but still many bank staff are also stupid and cute, They also openly declared that these people are big households and have privileges. I am really not afraid that the troublemaker will record an audio and take a picture, and then sue this bank employee for violating the constitution!

   Of course it is not feasible to sue the bank, and the bank can afford it, but what about suing a single bank teller, huh, huh, in order to protect the teller and public opinion, the bank will make trouble?

  Really big players will not compete with ordinary users for resources on the bright side, because these really big players will never let ordinary users see when they ingest resources.

Just like the business that Fei Qian is currently promoting is almost a monopoly operation. Most of the output comes from Huang's workshops, and because of Huang's relationship, these workshops are relatively closed to the outside world. In an environment that is easy to penetrate, so many things are completely incomprehensible to outsiders...

It's like a gold-painted fan, which has become popular in the circle of gentry children. Almost everyone needs a fan. The highest-grade gold-painted fan is inlaid with real gold and silver in the paper. Only then can the gold and silver threads be put into the paper like embroidery, but in fact these gold and silver threads are not inlaid into the paper at a later stage, but are directly added to the pinched gold and silver threads in the middle of papermaking. It is then covered with pulp.

  Because I don’t understand the difference in craftsmanship, many products have a high premium, just like glass **** can sell for diamond prices in the hands of Native Americans. The profit of business is beyond imagination.

On the one hand, Fei Qian met with the eye-catching man Marcus, on the one hand, to understand the situation of the white bird again, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use Marcus to establish some connections with ancient Rome in the west. After all, if it is possible to build a The complete Silk Road, the group of idiots who drank lead water every day in ancient Rome, it is not too much to exchange some porcelain and silk for some gold and silver, right?

Although there are Baishi Qiang people who have opened up some commercial routes in the Western Regions, the problem is that these Baishi Qiang people have only reached the border of the Da Yuezhi and stopped moving forward, and the ancient Rome, which is farther away, is called In the land of Great Qin, very few people set foot in it...

Ancient Rome was a very important dynasty in the history of Europe. In the history of Europe, the existence of ancient Rome allowed Europe to find an opportunity to unify. However, after the demise of ancient Rome, Europe still did not enter the grand unification until later generations. This is not as good as The feudal dynasty in ancient China.

  However, the time of the entire dynasty of ancient Rome was indeed very long. When Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, the European continent was already in the ancient Roman period, and the Roman Empire had just begun at this time. The Roman Empire in history has existed since 27 BC. If you also count the era of Roman kingship, it will be extremely long...

From 753 BC to 1453, such a long dynasty in history is indeed very rare, but it also shows one thing. Such a long dynasty cannot complete a great unification of the extreme distance on land. This may also be seen from the side Reflected some of the boot island problems.

   Of course, such problems became more obvious during World War II.

  Through Marcus’ narration, Fei Qian probably also learned some information about ancient Rome, of course it’s just a general situation...

  At this stage, ancient Rome, that is, Great Qin, is actually in a period of decline, like the Han Dynasty, with frequent internal strife and chaotic political power.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was eunuchs who disturbed the political order, while in ancient Rome, Emperor Commodus was killed in 192 AD, and the new emperor, Pertinax, was killed after a short three-month reign. Killing to death is surprisingly similar to the history of this period of the Eastern Han Dynasty...

  As for what happened after that, Marcus didn't know, because he left Rome at that time and started heading east.

Fei Qian listened, nodded from time to time, waited for Marcus to say the same thing, and then said to Marcus: "I know you also want to be a great person, and now there is such a person Chance…"

"Dear general, no, let me talk about the sublime, wise and wise general! I am willing! I will listen to the richness of the general!" Marcus said the eight words "sublime and wise (smart) wise" very well. It looks decent, the bite is clear and fluent, it must have been practiced repeatedly during this period of time, and after hearing what Fei Qian said, he immediately expressed his enthusiasm, clasped his hands together, and looked at Fei Qian eagerly.

Fei Qian nodded and said with a smile: "In the year of Yanxi, there was an envoy from Daqin to meet Emperor Xiaohuan... Well, that is to say, thirty years ago, a group of envoys who claimed to be sent by your emperor arrived Luo Yang, met our emperor, and brought a large amount of wealth bestowed by our emperor..."

   "Sen?" Marcus was stunned for a moment, then called out, and said, "These people are not good... er, this..."

   Fei Qian chuckled, pretending he didn't hear it.

   Perhaps some people in the Han Dynasty knew this fact, but is it necessary to correct it?

   This group of so-called Daqin envoys in the ninth year of Yanxi has quite a lot of flaws. Strictly speaking, it should be just a group of businessmen, a group of businessmen who went to ancient India, and then pretended to be so-called messengers.

  Perhaps, it wasn’t this group of Daqin people pretending to be intentional, but Liu Zhi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, needed such a group of people...

   After all, I have been in Yanxi for nine years, and there are many things. At that time, there were more than 30,000 students in the Taixue Middle School. They followed the habit of appraising and criticizing figures among scholars and bureaucrats. Li Xiaowei Li Ying and Yilang Wang Chang praised each other, Tai students praised Li Ying and others, saying: "Li Yuanli is a model in the world; Chen Zhongju is not afraid of force; Wang Shumao is a handsome man in the world."

  Then, officials and officials in the DPRK were all afraid of being degraded by scholars, and they all went to Taixue to seek praise.

   In other words, even ministerial-level and national-level court officials have to go to the Taixue to solicit fame, otherwise, they will be criticized...

This phenomenon originated from the eunuch's dictatorship, and the eunuch's dictatorship, in turn, was due to Emperor Liu Zhi's distrust of the gentry who originally controlled the court. The conflict between the two sides became more and more intense. The disaster of party imprisonment broke out.

  Under such circumstances, the so-called Great Qin envoy arrived in Luoyang just in time, and became a scenic spot during the nine years of Yanxi.

From the perspective of time, Emperor Commodus of ancient Rome had just ascended to the position of emperor. Instead of thinking about how to settle various contradictions and political interest group conflicts in ancient Rome, he first sent envoys to travel thousands of miles to the so-called eight A big man who can't hit the pole comes to conduct friendly diplomacy, congratulations from the court?

  The ancient Roman emperor Commodus, is he really so idle?

  Of course, it is also possible that he is really so idle, and has a big goal, looking across the Alps, but this possibility is still very small after all.

Fei Qian smiled slightly, and waited for a while. Sure enough, Marcus nodded, patted his chest and said, "I'm willing! General! I'm willing!" Marcus came to the East just to pursue wealth and congratulate power. Since Fei Qian pointed out such a message to Marcus, it means that Fei Qian is willing to cover for Marcus and let him become the "real" envoy of Daqin, so as to regain his lost power in one fell swoop and regain his power. Return to the upper class and become the upstart of Daqin.

   Feiqian nodded and said: "Very good, wait for Corporal Yuan to take you for a while, you wait in Chang'an for a few days, and get to know some people, and then listen to the follow-up arrangements..."

  Marcus crawled down deeply, and took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to kiss Feiqian's boots according to the etiquette of the Hu people, but was stopped by Huang Xu.

  Since Fei Qian was assassinated last time, Huang Xu almost had to commit suicide and apologize for it. If it wasn't for Fei Qian's persuasion, Huang Xu's little life would have been confessed. Even so, when Huang Cheng knew about it, he still beat Huang Xu hard once. Huang Xu's nose was blue, his face was swollen, his skin was bruised, and Huang Xu didn't dare to fight back...

Coupled with Xu Ding's report, now, Huang Xu is almost 12 points cautious every day, but anyone who wants to get close to Fei Qian will stare round, and Huang Xu will immediately go beyond the safe distance. Standing forward, he stared at the person with a serious expression and stopped him.

Fei Qian smiled, and he didn't want Marcus to kiss the boots, so when he saw him, he said: "No need to do that, we will definitely have a chance to meet in the future... Shi Yuan!" Fei Qian turned towards Pang Tong He signaled that Pang Tong should go ahead with Marcus first. In any case, the things that should be taught and the items that should be prepared should at least be prepared. At least some real Daqin artifacts should be collected. If you can find any spices and tortoiseshell shells, you can pretend to be a gift from Daqin, right?

  According to the original rules of the imperial court, even if there are some special reasons for the position of the three princes, they are not conferred in the capital, but they still have to send representatives to bow down to thank His Majesty the Great Han before Danjie. After much deliberation, Fei Qian suddenly thought of this Marcus.

   Who could be more appropriate than Marcus?

   Presumably Liu Xie can understand as long as he is not too stupid.

  Pang Tong nodded, and immediately took Marcus down.

People in the Han Dynasty would not be stupid, but they would not be deified, just like Pang Tong. Although there is absolutely no problem in handling government affairs, if he can compete with the wise and demon-like Zhuge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is actually still Some exaggeration. Roughly speaking, the reason why many noble families in the Han Dynasty, including Pang Tong, were smarter than ordinary people was that these people had access to knowledge that ordinary people did not understand, and they could also acquire various experiences left by their ancestors that ordinary people could not obtain. Therefore, these people have a broader vision and more active thinking.

  It’s like in later generations when various real estate speculators, various PtoP, and various fraudulent methods were exposed, some people suddenly realized that there is such an operation?

  The characters in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are more like Mr. Luo’s dream, but what Fei Qian encounters now are more like the more realistic Han Dynasty.

  Of course, these guys are still relatively smart and willing to explore new paths with Fei Qian. This is particularly important...

   While Fei Qian was thinking, Kan Ze, who was in charge of the audience, reminded softly: "Master, Yang Xiu Yang Dezu has been waiting outside for a long time..."

   "Yang Dezu?" Fei Qian frowned slightly, smiled, and said, "No, follow the order... But, can you bring him some tea..." Yang Xiu came just in time!

  Yang Xiu, who was waiting at the gatehouse, suddenly shivered...
