Relatively speaking, Roma's salary of 250 denarii was a bit low, but compared to the Han Dynasty of the same era, it could barely reach the average level. Chen Xi spent ten years improving it little by little to the average level of 24. Yes, the early pension is only ten thousand.
In short, after relying on this method to get to the bottom of the Roman economy, Chen Xi had a feeling that Severus was probably crazy. By the way, he also understood why the official Severus was able to destroy the rest of peace with three or two blows. To be honest, the soldiers held With such a high salary, it would be strange not to support Severus, but considering that Severus used his own personal money to reward his soldiers, this is enough for the emperor!
It's all like this. If the soldiers under his command still don't work to the death, the people's hearts will be in chaos. From this point of view, Severus is really powerful this time.
However, these did not have much impact on Chen Xi. After both parties rejected each other's conditions, they agreed to some of the other's conditions in the form of an exchange of benefits when they signed the contract again.
For example, the Han Dynasty agreed to Rome's proposal to adjust taxes on the mutual market, and Rome agreed to the Han Dynasty's business of opening acceptance bills in the mutual market.
After confirming this, Chen Xi was not dissatisfied with Rome's locked exchange rate based on grain and land output. By the way, this exchange rate was relatively reasonable. As for Pompianus's requirements for tax rates, considering Chen Xi acquiesced because he could print money.
After all, the bulk of the money was already in hand, so there was no need to dwell on the details. Giving Roma some sweet dates was acceptable in Chen Xi's opinion.
After these major clauses were finalized one by one, what was left was the issue of troop garrisoning and co-management of the city. Rome meant that Ganassis and Li Jue would garrison one and half of the troops. The two sides had a good personal relationship and many issues could be discussed. It would be too stiff.
The Han Dynasty did not reply to this, because it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to guarantee what the situation will be at that time. Besides, let the three talents go, whether Rome can accept it or not, it is really a waste for the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, this matter has not been finalized in the end, but based on Zhuge Liang's current observation of the overall situation, if nothing unexpected happens, the garrison in the mutual market should be Ma Chao, with dual identities, and a high enough status, after all, he is the seventh loyalist in Rome. The commander of the army will be stationed in the future mutual market. If the Han Dynasty sends a legion there, both parties will definitely be satisfied.
Even if the Han Dynasty did not send any legions there, Rome would be very satisfied. In short, if you look at it from Zhuge Liang's perspective, it is no surprise that this position that both sides need to consider now will most likely fall into the hands of Ma Chao.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's description, Wan Peng next to Zhuge Liang knew that this was an opportunity. Although his own strength was unlikely to make a big profit, if he had been prepared, there would be too much oil and water in the trade between the two empires. Caught it.
"Basically, everything that should be finalized has been finalized, and now it's time to start construction on the Roman side." Zhuge Liang explained simply, and Li Jue and others nodded regardless of whether they understood or not.
After sending Li Jue and others away, Zhuge Liang could finally sort out the situation in the entire Eurasian continent quietly. After all, the Han Dynasty accounted for 40% of the importance of the entire Eurasian continent. Rome was not motivated enough. Accounting for 30%, Guishang can probably account for 20%, and the rest are the trumpets of the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang has all the intelligence between these forces. The rest is to rely on this intelligence to sort out the general situation, determine every step in the future, and avoid confusion in the future. After all, at this point in the historical process, many things are very complicated. It’s difficult to change.
"Are you still reading the information sent by CC?" When Huang Yueying came over with lunch, Zhuge Liang was still looking through the information sent from various places.
"Well, because the previous petty quarrel is over, Han Gui will really enter the fight, and Rome will also intervene." Zhuge Liang put down the letter in his hand.
Zhuge Liang has received the news of Rahul's defeat. Chen Zhong sent this news to Zhuge Liang several times. Now Rahul, Durga, and Niranjan's group are all besieged in Brahmas. Guan Yu surrounded but did not attack, occupying all the surrounding towns and turning them into squatters.
In the current state, Guan Yu is basically squatting around Brahmas eating Kushan, using Kushan, and beating Kushan. Niranjan and Rahul basically have no way to do this.
The current situation has almost become a replica of Rahul's siege of Fahrenheit City. As long as those inside the city dare to come out, they will definitely not be able to defeat those outside the city. While those outside the city are taking the initiative, they are also constantly depriving the city of the transportation of supplies.
This is very embarrassing. Although there are a lot of materials on Brahasi, they cannot withstand Guan Yu's method of play - Brahasi is indeed a high city and a deep pool. It can be said to be the first barrier in the south. Even the Han Dynasty can't bite it. It was difficult to chew it off, but Guan Yu stopped chewing it.
Guan Yu knocked down all the small towns around Brahasi, and then harvested Brahmas's grain and grass, preparing to completely drag Brahmas' group to death with the grain and grass supplies.
Rahul's ability is indeed strong enough, but Rahul's current state is absolutely unable to lead Niranjan, and Niranjan's mentality is very stable. He knows the value of Brahmas very well, so it is unlikely to send troops on a large scale. Counterattack.
This leads to a very funny situation, that is, Rahul has a strong commanding ability, but does not have enough troops to fight Guan Yu. On the premise of sticking to Brahmas, Rahul can use all the troops to face Guan Yu. It's a gift.
After all, without being able to exert the combat advantage of a large army, the strength that Guan Yu can unleash far exceeds that of Rahul. This is the advantage of the super general's command.
In this case, the Kushans wanted to rescue Rahul, but after Vesudeva I reached out, he discovered a big problem. The Kushans were not short of troops, but they did not have a suitable commander, even Barkol. Old man, if you really want to talk about his ability to command troops, he's still far behind.
In this way, the significance of rescuing Brahshas becomes even greater, and even clearer. The significance of rescuing Rahul has been placed on the table of Vesudeva I. Sometimes winning all the time will only make the superiors suspicious, but After losing, let the opponent feel the pressure and understand that without a substitute, they can continue to maintain the situation.
It is precisely because of this that Vesuthiva I was forced to personally lead the troops to Brahgas. Kushan really has no famous generals now. Unlike the situation of the Han Dynasty where there was a clear replacement for the failure, Kushan is now somewhat stretched. Yes, there is no shortage of troops, but there is a shortage of people to command them!
If anyone else goes, there will be a clear gap at the level of Rahul and Guan Yu. Even if Vesudeva I goes in person, he will not actually be able to gain an advantage in commanding the troops. After all, Vesudeva I himself is not a large army. commander in chief.
It can only be said that if he goes there, Bei Gui's morale will be higher and he will be able to exert combat effectiveness beyond the current level, but he really thinks too much about other things.
This is also where Kushan is most passive. Unlike the Han Dynasty and Rome, even if these two countries were miserable, they would not be so miserable that their famous generals would be cut off.
The current situation in Kushan is basically a break. The older generation's big bosses who can go to death are already dead, but the next generation of generals who can reach this step are still a gap away from this step. Cross over.
This is the most embarrassing part of Guishang - it is true that there are many soldiers and generals, but these generals are the leaders of a battalion, not the commander-in-chief of an army.
"Vesudeva I will send troops soon. From that moment on, Kushan has truly entered a period of war. The impact of the previous wars on the rule of the Great Yueshi is not even as great as the civil strife." Zhuge Liang will Putting the secret report in his hand aside, he sighed and said, the existence of the empire is too illegal for most countries.
If a normal country lost twice like Kuishang, it would basically be ready to go. However, now Kuishang doesn't feel any pain at all and still has the power to fight back.
"Is there big trouble over there with General Guan?" Huang Yueying asked curiously.
"It's not a big problem. After this battle, the territory has been completely stabilized. Both sides need to rest and recuperate. We have been in trouble for the past few years." Zhuge Liang sighed and said.
In fact, Zhuge Liang basically knew what changes would happen in the next year. If nothing unexpected happened, Rome finally sent troops to assist Guishang. Even if doing so would affect the friendship between the Han Dynasty and Rome, Rome would still do it for the sake of interests. Sent troops.
The Roman civil system was imposed on the heads of the barbarians. If there was no comparison, Rome might not have noticed that their situation was already in danger. However, after Herodian and his group came to the Han Dynasty to experience it, they understood Rome's current situation. How dangerous the situation is.
Increasing the number of citizens will affect the interests of citizens to a great extent. If the number of citizens is not increased, the barbarians who continue to expand wildly will sooner or later shake the foundation of the Roman Empire.
This is a very embarrassing fact. As for abolishing the civil system, allowing Roman civil law and Roman civil law to prevail, and making citizens one of the nations, it would be better to hang the entire Roman Senate.
Therefore, the Roman bosses who now understand the situation are very troubled by the strange growth rate of the barbarians. The normal plan of reducing the population is already somewhat impractical, so using drastic methods has become a must-choice.
Participating in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty and consuming the young barbarians was one of the plans that had to be implemented. Even though the Romans were now a little overwhelmed by the homologous research conducted by the Han Dynasty, but in In the pursuit of national interests and personal interests, sending the barbarian army to Kushan has become an imperative plan.
