By the way, this is why Pompianus scolded Tachito many times and told Tachito to go back and ride an Arabian horse. Don't go back and forth to top-level horse breeds. But all top-level horse breeds will eat much older. The burden on logistics and food supplies will be greatly increased.
When I switched to Andalusian horses, the consumption of food and logistics had already reached the level of two or three times that of the first auxiliary. Taking into account horse armor and other things, it was even a huge expense, but Pompianus scolded After finishing Tachito, let’s equip Tachito.
After all, the wool from the Spanish fief was harvested, so it would give him some face. This was also the reason why Pompianus turned a blind eye when Tacito later exchanged Friesian horses. The main reason was to harvest the wool from the Spanish legion. It was a bit ridiculous, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Otherwise, given the situation in Ninth Spain, with such a huge consumption of materials, Pompianus would have lost face if he did not hammer Tacito's dog head off.
Didn't he touch the cinnabar chicken blood stone mine in the Spanish fiefdom and pay each other's IQ tax with the Han Dynasty? After paying it to a great extent, Wei Wei felt a little conscience-stricken and missed some benefits to Tacito.
This is why the equipment of the Ninth Spain in the past two years, the war horse can basically be regarded as the only one among the Roman legions. After all, the wool comes from the sheep.
So after Tacito discovered the secret, he went straight back from Eastern Europe to fight with Pompianus in the Senate. It was impossible not to tear him apart. After learning the facts, the Senate was also in turmoil. After all, this was a thief. It's a bit too much.
Although the clear-minded senators in the Senate all know that this thing must be taken back to the state, it is impossible to let the Spanish province or the Spanish Legion control such an asset that is huge for the Roman Empire, especially this asset. It is being produced continuously.
The annual silk consumption of the Roman Empire accounted for almost one-twentieth to one-tenth of the national finance. The cinnabar bloodstone produced in Spain was able to achieve a trade balance with this huge expenditure. This was because The Roman Empire had not yet figured out what the cinnabar bloodstone containing chalcedony was. After they figured it out, they would no longer destructively mine it and the output would only be more.
After all, this mine has been used by the Roman Empire until the 21st century and has not been used up. Of course, there are only two cinnabar mines of this level in the world, so it is a unique resource in an absolute sense, and China is very concerned about seals. Shi’s needs...
Forget it, talking too much makes me cry. Why do I feel that there is less demand later? This is the same as why the Chinese began to pursue jade later. The former is because the top cinnabar bloodstone has been dug out and used up, and the latter is because the top jade mines It has also been mined to a great extent.
As a result, we can only settle for the next best thing. If jade production can keep up, no matter how much the old woman in Cixi likes jade, she will not be able to reverse the pursuit of jade by the public.
In short, this thing is something for the Han Dynasty. I know I shouldn't buy it, but I can't help but buy it. Moreover, the current family has not rushed to the street, and the sequence in the lineage has not been lost, which leads to a very annoying person. As for the painful phenomenon, I have finished buying it for this generation, so I can buy it for the next generation in advance. Chen Xi has nothing to do about it.
I can only say let everyone go, because Chen Xi also likes it. In fact, people born in China seem to be born with this kind of thing. If they have a lot of money, they will inevitably toss this kind of thing. The texture and feeling are innate. I am very interested in Chinese people.
Pompianus didn’t understand this, but Pompianus knew trade. With this mine, even if there was a big problem in the operation of the Roman Empire, it would still be able to survive by tightening the belt, so Pompianus forced Take it back to the country.
In fact, regarding the forced recovery of state property, even the judges of the Roman Empire are currently arguing that they would rather amend the law than take down Pompianus.
Old Papinian, Ulpian, and Paul, the giants who established the Justinian Code, this time really knew that it was illegal and had to stand on the opposite side of the law.
After all, these people are all smart, and they know very well that the sanctity of the Roman Empire far exceeds the legal system of the Ninth Spain. Of course, the choice between the two is the Roman Empire, so the final outcome of this matter will probably depend on whether Tacito can catch up. If you get back 0.1%, you can still get back 1%.
Even though this share is extremely small, it is an important support in the total value component used to balance the trade system between the two huge empires. Tacito snatching back 1% is already regarded as the Roman Senate considering Spain first. Legion, later there were reasons for Spain.
As for full payment, you see, Zhao Yun has never mentioned that he has 30% of the shares of high-yielding fine seeds and heaven and earth essence crops. He can just quietly take the part allocated to him by the country. More or less is fine, but you have to be aboveboard. Give.
Tacito also means the same thing. You hacked our cinnabar mine in Spain. After I understand the cause and effect, I admit it, but you have to analyze the things clearly for me one by one. You can't hack me. I'm still grateful. Come on, I, Tacito, am still hanging around in Rome!
However, this matter is basically clear now. The world-class super-large cinnabar mine located in Almaden, Spain must have been taken over by the Roman state, and even if the Roman Empire split in the future, it is absolutely impossible to lose Spain. This kind of thing.
This benefit was so heavy that when the Roman Senate learned that this thing could cover more than 70% of the silk trade expenses and that there was still potential to be tapped, they understood that this was not something that an individual or a certain domestic political group could do. controllable interests.
The Roman Empire must distribute it in person to maintain balance, so nationalization is inevitable. Of course, since the production is in Spain, the Ninth Legion should be able to get 0.1% to 0.3% of the profits in the end, and these profits will be reflected in armaments and material treatment.
Of course, these are not the big ones, because they are said to fall on the head of the Ninth Spanish Legion, but in fact, under Severus' fair and severe iron fist, Pompianus will make the decision to uniformly improve the treatment of the Eagle Flag Legion, and truly give it to The treatment of the Ninth Spanish Legion is actually commercial tax settlement and the trading circle of Spanish local supplies.
The former means that the output of the cinnabar mine will be calculated in the Spanish provinces, and the Ninth Spain, which has tax rights, can benefit from it, and the latter means that the families of the Ninth Spanish Legion can participate in this special international trade.
To a certain extent, this is also a warning to the soldiers of the Ninth Spanish Legion. If you want your brothers in the family to live a better life, you should fight well. Every member of the family behind you will be affected by your actions. To benefit from your performance, your current combat effectiveness is not worthy of the benefits provided to you by the Roman Empire.
Virgilio sent a copy of everything that happened in the Senate to Vincenzo. As nobles, the two of them knew how to handle this matter, and they also knew that under this kind of treatment, the Ninth Spain should Climb back to the third talent quickly, or complete the smelting of the third talent. These things are both benefits and pressure.
Fortunately, the Ninth Spanish Legion led by Tacito is also a weird one. It was promoted to the third talent twice, but fell back to the Praetorian Guard for different reasons.
But it has a very clear understanding of its own talent route and expansion method. For this reason, the foundation of the Ninth Spanish Legion is actually very solid. At least it has a very good understanding of its own talent, which is the basis for talent smelting. .
In this way, it is not difficult to take the three-talent route or the Praetorian Guard smelting route. After all, in the twenty years from 184 to the present, the three-talented legion has been reached twice, and the three-talented legion has been achieved in different ways. There is only one in Ninth Spain.
Therefore, after the change in the sky, Caesar was very optimistic about Tacito. After all, Tacito's Ninth Spain can be regarded as his direct descendant, and he has many types of talents.
In the same way, Caesar is optimistic, and the legion commander and camp commander of the Tenth Knight will also be optimistic, not to mention that the Ninth Spanish Legion's two promotions to three talents have indeed laid a very solid foundation.
Naturally, Li Jue didn't understand what Vincenzo was talking about. Li Jue, who was hanging out in Africa recently, had no idea what was going on inside Rome. Well, even if he wasn't hanging out in Africa, Li Jue wouldn't care much about Rome's internal affairs. , Li Jue actually didn't even care about the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty.
Li Jue's hobby is very simple, just wandering around.
"But since the Marquis of Chi Yang is leaving Africa, how about we join forces to attack again this time?" Vincenzo saw Li Jue's confused eyes and had no intention of explaining. Although Rome's internal affairs were difficult for a big man like Li Jue, , you can learn it if you want to know it, but if the other party doesn't understand it, Vincenzo will not take the initiative to reveal these dark histories.
When they came to Africa just before, Vincenzo and Li Jue worked together for a period of time. How can I describe the cooperation during that period of time? Men's friendship, when it is not important, either you sell me, or I sell you. you.
He was stepped on by a rhinoceros, he was in a miraculous posture and couldn't hit the rhinoceros at full strength, he was bitten by a large crocodile, etc.
So after cooperating with each other for a period of time in the early stage, both parties quickly parted ways after realizing that the other party was not actually a suitable partner.
There is no way, when everyone can condense the fantasy, many bugs will appear. For example, Vincenzo still feels that he was actually hit by the rhinoceros that Li Jue transformed into, and even stepped on his waist. , As a result, Li Jue insisted that it was a rhinoceros that bumped into Vincenzo, and even Fan Chou and Guo Si were there to cover it, leaving Vincenleo speechless.
And then there is the trick of tricking Vincenzo into the evil god summoning ritual as an additive...
Of course, the evil god was torn apart by Vincenzo's hands before he even came down.
In addition, the Sphinx Legion organized a herd to hunt the Tenth Knight, and Vincenzo was chased for hundreds of miles. He relied on his long legs to successfully get rid of the herd.
Vincenzo, who later successfully escaped from the beasts, turned into a kobold from Hades and led a larger group of beasts to pursue the Sphinx, killing a large number of mounts of evil gods, etc. In short, both sides did nothing in Africa and suffered disasters. They are basically local evil gods and beasts.
Of course, in this kind of gameplay, both sides often call each other beasts, but the sphinx and the dog-headed man in Hades are not human. How can I put it, it is normal, and they are not human.
But now that Li Jue is preparing to leave Africa and go to the southern continent, Vincenzo is naturally willing to forget the previous troublesome incidents and is happy to cooperate with the Xiliang cavalry so that Li Jue can leave in glory. There is such a thing as face. The bridal sedan bearers are carrying people!
"That's a good feeling." Li Jue instantly understood what Wenqin Leo meant. He was planning to give Xiliang Cavalry a boost of momentum and beat his deputy so that he could leave in glory. Thinking of this, Li Jue He smiled and said, "Can you beep?"
Vincenzo was silent and decided to give up the communication with Li Jue. Is this person really like, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed?
I, Vincenzo, am the person involved. I saw with my own eyes that your Xiliang cavalry's strength dropped to an unbearable level in an instant.
I tried my best to forget this fact to ensure the image of the Miracle Legion in my mind, but now you have actually messed with it again. Are you going to stop until you completely destroy the Miracle Legion?
"Let's go." Vincenzo turned around and led the soldiers of the Tenth Knight to leave. There was no way to talk today. After that sentence, Vincenzo's mind was already full of Chiron's image of Li Jue. , It’s almost like death. The idea of beating the deputy and giving the three fools a gift and leaving is immediately extinguished.
Vincenzo said that I shouldn't have any expectations for the three of you. The Miracle Legion is already perverted enough, why should you mix in the three more perverted guys? This is to completely destroy the few remaining ones. Really cool?
"No, we are friends!" Li Jue quickly grabbed Vincenzo. It didn't matter if he couldn't ride a centaur. It would be good to cooperate with the tenth knight. After all, he was also a top player.
"I have serious doubts about you and the integrity of the Xiliang cavalry under your command." Vincenzo took a deep breath, indicating that I believed you, but did not turn around and leave. I still want to save face. Yes, Li Jue is a pervert, but he can fight!
"Ah, moral integrity? Is this kind of thing useful?" Li Jue glanced up and said with a somewhat mocking tone, "That is, you, the tenth knight, are strong enough. Do you think there are people from other legions who dare to do this? Do you talk like this in front of us Xiliang cavalry?"
"It's the other way round. It's okay for me to tell you." Vincenzo said helplessly. If you weren't strong enough, I would have killed you long ago. You have caused so much trouble for me in Africa. , whoever has a weak point deserves to be beaten to death.
You can stand here and let me talk to you calmly. On the one hand, it is the huge Han Empire behind you, and on the other hand, it is your exaggerated defense power.
"As for moral integrity, do you have it?" Li Jue and the other three looked at each other, crossed their arms and sneered.
"Tsk." Vincenzo looked at Li Jue with a sneer, "Roman nobleman, winner of the tenth knight, what do you think? Marquis of Chi Yang?"
"Look, Emperor Caesar!" Li Jue and the others laughed, then suddenly looked to the side and pointed into the distance.
"Where?" Vincenzo reflexively looked in the direction Li Jue was pointing, and said as he looked, "It's impossible, it's impossible, you can't discover Caesar before me."
Then as he spoke, Vincenzo fell silent and turned to look at the joking San Sha.
"He also said that he is not a pervert." Guo Bang said casually to Fan Chou as if he were having a normal chat.
"Yes, yes, a guy who doesn't even dare to face his heart." Li Jue nodded repeatedly, "Are you a pervert? Do they dare to hit you?"
"Release your inner desires and prove that you are actually a pervert." Fan Chou said with a wild smile. He also said that he was not a pervert. I pointed in a random direction and you actually turned your head.
Vincenzo was silent. The Tenth Knight himself had the ability to observe and perceive types, and Vincenzo even had the ability to predict Caesar's position. As a result, Li Jue pointed in a direction, and Vincenzo looked reflexively. past.
"Okay, I am also a pervert." Vincenzo was silent for a while and admitted this fact. He secretly made up his mind to make a contribution to Rome and communicate with the three idiots. If he is not perverted enough, there will always be something out of place. Feel.
"I was a little overwhelmed by the sudden admission." Li Jue was a little confused. Vincenzo admitted it like this, but Li Jue didn't know what to say.
