In the eyes of Zhuge Liang, Ardashir was once a good general at best, but after Fars Sasan died, Zhuge Liang discovered that Ardashir had become a commander. When Anxi destroyed the country, Zhuge Liang met Ardashir again. When Dahir came, the other party seemed to have been washed away.
Even Zhuge Liang needs to treat the qualifications shown by the other party with caution at this time. After all, these are close to his own qualifications!
Well, that is to say, Zhuge Liang's background is relatively strong now. With the support of the Han Dynasty and a bunch of friendly forces in Rome, he has suddenly raised his originally explosive qualifications to the completely unreasonable level now.
If you really want to say it, Aldashir's qualifications are already close to that of a god. The light of the third century and the king of kings are not just blown away. His fighting power is still very strong. It is a pity that Zhuge Liang is now blessed by a group of second-century afterglows. Life and death killed the light of the third century.
After all, without bragging, Zhuge Liang's talent is already at the ceiling level. Even if Aldashir's qualifications explode, it can reach the level of breaking the standard. But now that Zhuge Liang has entered a complete state, Aldashir Still not enough!
Now Zhuge Liang does not mention his own ability, his pure talent is enough to overwhelm the opponent. This is not only a question of quality, but also a question of quantity. Who makes Zhuge Liang stand behind two famous people from the empire? All the big guys.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang has rarely told others about his substantial spiritual talent, and the Han Dynasty has no intention of spreading it randomly, so that Aldashir can only feel that Zhuge Liang is moving at a speed that is even weirder than himself. evolution.
At the same level as the Three Fools of Xiliang, if they were duel with Ardashir and there was no support behind them, each of them would be defeated. The problem was that behind the Three Fools of Xiliang stood Li You. , Jia Xu, Chen Xi, Zhuge Liang!
These four guys are among the top wise men among the four empires. If their strength is not enough, they need intelligence to make up for it. This has always been the case. Under Zhuge Liang's attention, unless it is time to fall out, if Aldashir can It would be hell to use all your strength.
"How could we brothers underestimate him? He is very capable of fighting." Li said, patting his chest. Li didn't say this nonsense. They really thought highly of Aldashir and even made him look very good. high.
"Well, don't provoke it." Zhuge Liang warned again. It's not the time for conflict between the two sides yet. Ardashir is not stupid, and the Han Dynasty is not stupid either.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li replied perfunctorily.
"If you encounter the Yuan family's power in Anxi territory, don't cause friction." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said. The Yuan family must be trying to recruit people at this time. Although it is impossible to obtain too many people, some of the more outstanding and strong young people , the Yuan family will still vigorously absorb some technical craftsmen.
"Huh? Aren't they supposed to be beaten by Rome in the snowfield?" Li asked in confusion. In May and June, Li received a notice from Ganassis saying that Rome was going to destroy the Yuan family, and it was Going to give it a good whack.
"It's too cold in the winter over there. It is said that the Roman army left after a wave of armed marches before entering Eastern Europe." Zhuge Liang was also quite helpless. You must know that when he received the news that Rome was going to beat up the Yuan family, Zhuge Liang was very concerned. Even if Rome said that he would beat the Yuan family, Zhuge Liang would have to keep an eye on it to avoid something serious happening.
"Rome is rubbish. If you send troops, you have to divide them into winter and summer." Li said disdainfully.
Zhuge Liang didn't reply. He had no choice. Normally, a country would have to wait until spring, summer, autumn and winter to send out troops. That's because Xiliang had no choice. It would fight from spring to autumn, and then if the food on hand was not enough, then I can only continue to fight.
After all, if there is not enough food, the only option is to starve to death and go out to fight. As long as you are cruel enough, someone else will definitely die, and you will still have something to eat by then.
"That's roughly it. The Yuan family has been vacated. Now that General Huangfu is with the Yuan family, there will basically be no problems with the safety of Sizhao City. Naturally, the Yuan family will have other ideas." Zhuge Liang said calmly. said.
Working is divided into working for others, working for yourself, and working for your ideal.
If you work for others, of course you have to give as much effort as you want. If you work for yourself, of course you do your best. But if you work for an ideal, you not only have to do your best yourself, but you also have to make up for your shortcomings while pulling others along. Work.
The Yuan family's current situation is basically working for Ideal, so they will not let it go as long as there is an opportunity. Therefore, Zhuge Liang estimates that Li is likely to encounter the Yuan family who come to collect wool in winter.
As for what other aristocratic families think, the old Yuan family does not think that they have been expelled from the aristocratic family ranks.
"Oh, it has nothing to do with us. We'll see if we meet him or not." Li said nonchalantly. They had no interest in Anxi.
But if you really want to pursue it, it's not right. The future fiefdom of Li and others is also in the area of Congling to the east of Xi'an. It's just that Zhuge Liang knew that these three fools didn't know how to govern, so he fenced it off for them early, and then divided the pastures, pastures, and acres. It's been done piece by piece, and now even the manpower has been arranged.
It’s just that it hasn’t been delivered yet. Zhuge Liang will use it as a raw material base and grain production area to supply Congling to accumulate strength for the next action. In fact, if he really wants to say it, the three fools’ places have already been circled in Zhuge Liang’s mind. When Anxi's settlement is completed, these prepared places will form a clear hierarchy, and then they can be entrusted directly.
"That's enough." Zhuge Liang expressed satisfaction with this. As long as there is no conflict with the Yuan family, it will be fine. However, there is no big hatred between the two parties. Besides, with the current arrangement, the Han Dynasty will not deliberately set up any feud. The two parties are arranged together.
Of course, except for Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, who really have no choice but to arrange it this way, the others will basically not match up like this. After all, it is almost trouble-free to do so, even if the Han Empire hardly hinders external affairs. , when justice takes priority, there is really no need to cause trouble for yourself.
"Is there anything else?" Li asked looking at Zhuge Liang.
"When you go to the west, say hello to Duke Ganassis for me, and ask about the mutual trade between us and when the city will be established." Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while, and decided to let Li ask, and let the others ask. Although he was a little too eager, Li's words could actually be more accurate.
"That's no problem." Li nodded and said. He had a good relationship with Ganassis. The other party invited him to drink wine with white lead added several times. In addition, now that the two empires have formed an alliance, the two sides have different positions. The conflicts have been eliminated and the relationship has improved a lot.
"But where are the arrangements for the mutual market?" Fan Chou asked curiously.
Wan Peng is also very interested in this. After all, his family belongs to the Wan family of Fufeng, the founder of the country. Although he was not clean after getting on a pirate ship, the Liangzhou clan came ashore in one fell swoop. He was almost killed. The misfortune Wan family immediately made a lot of money.
Just like now, Li and Guo Bang are calling Wanpeng a loser. They led the Xiliang cavalry and actually let the Qiang people rebel. They are simply bastards among the bastards. Forget about opening up the Xiliang line. However, no matter how black Wanpeng, Wanpeng is still the backbone of the Xiliang family, and there are people covering it.
In addition, the Wan family was a descendant of the founder of the country, so he made a lot of money. After feeling happy, he also began to think about whether he could find a good place to found a country. Although the Wan family was almost becoming the only one, but again No matter how miserable it is, it can't change the boss's pursuit of ideals.
Just like now Wanpeng is thinking about whether he can build a highway dozens or hundreds of miles east of the mutual market, and then spend his own money to build the highway, and then pay for the toll...
Although this method is a bit excessive, I have to admit that it is indeed a good idea. There is no problem in collecting money while sitting on the ground, especially if you have a backer.
"Now we have barely reached an agreement. There is no hope for Media. Rome is too far away and is only allowed fifty miles east of the Zagros Passage." Zhuge Liang said with regret. In fact, there was another proposal before, Peng. The handwriting of Pompianus was thrown back by Zhuge Liang. Only a sick person would agree with Pompianus' proposal.
There is no way, who made Pompianus think so well, to build a city between the Tigris River and the Zagros Mountains, this city is all covered by Rome, and the road to the east can be built by Rome at its own expense to Media, Zhuge Liang saw I called him back immediately, it was so beautiful!
After that, the two sides spent a lot of time on this issue after Chen Xi and Herodian finalized it. Finally, after the Han Dynasty's carts of silk were delivered to Zagros, Pompianus finally couldn't bear it anymore. Pressure from the Senate and Roman citizens resulted in a compromise.
In the end, the two parties decided to build the city fifty miles east of the Zagros Mountains. Then the Han Dynasty would build the road to the east of the city, and the Romans would build the road to the west. The materials for building the city would be provided by the Han Dynasty, and part of the manpower would be provided by Rome. Some craftsmen of the Han Dynasty carried out the construction.
As for taxes, the co-management was barely settled. Rome's standard silver coin, the denarius, was linked to the Han Dynasty's five-baht coin. After calculations based on grain prices and real estate prices, both parties reluctantly accepted a ratio of 1:30, which is one Roman silver coin. Equivalent to 30 five baht coins.
From this we can actually see how high the wages of Roman soldiers were in Severus's era. The per capita salary was 1,500 denarii, equivalent to 45 to 50 guan, while the annual salary of Han Dynasty soldiers was only 24 guan, but relatively speaking The welfare of the Han Dynasty was better, but no matter how good it was, the salary of Severus's soldiers was indeed a bit exaggerated.
