Emperor Liu Hong

"Whether it can be done or not, this matter is related to my position in the prince's heart in the future!" Gaius looked anxiously at Fugui who pretended to be thinking, and his heart was extremely nervous.

At this time, Fugui sighed and said, "Count Gaius, I have thought about it carefully, and with my ability, I will never be able to get a large amount of fairy powder!"

"Ah, I can't get it!" Hearing Fugui's words, Gaius's disappointment was forgotten.

Seeing Gaius's appearance, Fu Gui felt amused, but with hesitation on his face, he said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" You know, Gaius has uttered a big word to Commodus, and now he heard that things have turned around, so he asked quickly.

"Unless you can connect with our Majesty, as long as our Majesty agrees, it will not be difficult for you to get fairy powder!"

"Go online with the Emperor of Han?"

What Fugui said reminded Gaius.After all, such a sought-after item must be in the hands of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if the emperor of the Han Dynasty agrees, it is really not a big deal to share the shares.But the problem is that the other party is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Let alone the distance between the two countries, the line between them is not so good just because of their identities.

"Viscount Fugui, we are friends, and our prince treats you well. You have to help our prince figure out how to build a relationship with your majesty, so that your majesty can sell us fairy powder."

"Count Gaius, you don't know that our majesty treats friends very generously. As long as you can become friends with our majesty, let alone fairy powder, even something more precious than fairy powder, it will definitely not be a problem !"

"Make friends with the emperor of Han. Don't talk about it, am I qualified as a small earl? Don't talk about my status, even our prince, the status is also a big difference!" Gaius said. With self-knowledge, he said to Fugui: "Viscount Fugui, of course we want to make friends with His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but this matter is definitely not an easy one. The most urgent task now is how do we get a large number of fairy fans?" ?”

"Count Gaius, you don't know. It's not difficult to make friends with our Majesty." Gaius' thoughts were quite clear, so he began to live in vain, "Our Majesty makes friends, it is not difficult at all." Regardless of status. In the words of our Majesty. That is, making friends is the most important thing. It is exactly the same, our Majesty’s friends are everywhere. Old farmers, businessmen, military generals, scholars. Including the princes of the Anxi Kingdom , are all friends of our Majesty. Therefore, as long as you can show your sincerity, it will not be difficult at all to become friends with our Majesty!"

Gaius understood what Fugui said.Like the wealth and honor mentioned before, the most important thing to do with friends is to know each other well.That is all false.The point is that they can show sincerity.

"How to show this sincerity? You know, he is the emperor of a big man, and he doesn't need anything!" Gaius pondered for a long time.He didn't even think about why, so he finally asked Fugui, "Viscount Fugui, how do you think we should show our sincerity?"

"Count Gaius, have you forgotten why I want to meet your emperor?" Fugui reminded Gaius, "Our Majesty controls more than 90.00% of the trade between the big man and your Rome. However, our two countries are far away and trade is inconvenient, so our Majesty wants to pass through the Suez Canal and shorten the distance to Rome. And your prince, if you help our majesty realize this wish, let our majesty feel the love of your prince. Good intentions, our Majesty is definitely willing to make such a close friend. And our Majesty has become friends with your prince, and it is not easy for you to get some fairy powder!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it!" Thinking of this, Gaius felt confident, and said to Fugui, "This matter is of great concern, and I can't make the decision. I need to go back and ask our prince for instructions. Later, I will Will come to inform our prince of his answer."

"Okay, then I'll wait here for the good news from Earl Gaius!" Fu Gui didn't want to keep Gaius anymore, and sent him directly outside the trading house.

The matter was urgent, and it didn't take long for Gaius to arrive at Commodus' mansion.At this time, Commodus was waiting for the result of Gaius' negotiation.When he saw Gaius coming, he immediately asked him about the negotiation.

"Prince, this is how it happened." Commodus asked, Gaius didn't dare to hide anything, and told the conversation between him and Fugui in detail.

"Oh, so, only when the Suez Canal is re-connected can we obtain the exclusive agency rights of the fairy powder and get a large amount of fairy powder?"

"Yes prince, according to that rich man, it looks like this." But Gaius continued: "His Royal Highness, in my opinion, this Suez Canal is indeed necessary to be completed. After all, once it is completed, Our communication with Dahan will be much more convenient and smooth, and we can even organize caravans to go directly to Dahan to buy goods. In that way, the purchase price of goods such as silk and paper can be greatly reduced."

"I also know what you said, but this canal is in the desert, and it is not easy to run through it. And this is not the most rare thing, the most rare thing is the maintenance after it runs through." , Commodus sighed and said: "There is a lot of wind and sand in the desert, and the canal will be congested by wind and sand from time to time. This is why this canal has been abandoned many times!"

"Prince, if the canal is blocked, let's unblock it. Anyway, our slaves are not worth much. It's not difficult to get a batch of slaves and let those dependent countries send some people to clear the canal."

"That's the only way things can go!" The temptation of Immortal Fan to Commodus is too great, he knows that this thing is definitely an excellent weapon to make money and attract people, so he must not let it go, "You go give that Fugui said, when he meets tomorrow, I will try my best to help him persuade my father. However, he needs to do his best for the fairy powder matter. "

Notified by Gaius, the excited Fugui not only didn't sleep much all night, even the next day, he was still quite excited.

"This time, I must convince the Roman emperor to let him pass through the Suez Canal. In this way, I will not have to spend so much effort when I come to Rome in the future!" Fugui, who had made up his mind, brought a suit for the Roman emperor. The prepared gifts arrived at the Roman Palace.

Marcus Aurelius was definitely a diligent emperor. He was already handling various government affairs early in the morning.But at this time, when he heard his subordinates report that Fugui had come, he immediately asked someone to bring Fugui in.

Seeing Fugui coming in, Marcus Aurelius was very polite. He personally helped Fugui and said, "Viscount Fugui, some time ago, the plague was raging in our empire. Thanks to the medicine you brought from the big man, it was saved. conquered our empire. Therefore, I want to thank you!"

"Your Majesty, you are flattering me. This incident is entirely due to our Majesty." Fu Gui was very modest, "That day, our Majesty heard people talking about your Roman smallpox, and he couldn't bear it, so he let people Made a large amount of medicine to prevent smallpox and let me bring it to Rome. So if your majesty wants to thank you, then thank my majesty.”

"Oh, it turned out to be your Majesty's order." Marcus Aurelius was surprised when he heard Fugui's words, but he continued: "Your Majesty wants to thank you, and you have to thank me too! After all, you didn't bring the medicine with me." When we come to Rome, we cannot resist this raging plague."

"If you want to make money, it has to be His Majesty! You see, I have made money from others, and I have to thank them!"

Fugui is quite clear that those batches of cowpox are really worth more than gold, which really made Liu Hong a lot of money.But I didn't expect that after earning so much money from others, they would still be grateful to Dade.There is really no way to say this.

"Rich Viscount, although the plague in Rome has subsided now, the plague still exists in other parts of the empire. Although it is not serious anymore, I still want to buy a batch of medicine to treat the plague and completely quell the plague. Of course , if it is possible, it is best to buy the formula of the medicine directly, I wonder if you can help with this?"

"Oh, it seems that this is the main purpose of the Roman emperor to see me!" Fugui is not a fool, and immediately figured out why Marcus Aurelius wanted to see him, "Your Majesty, you may not know .In our Dahan, the universal free medical care is implemented. Therefore, almost all the pharmaceutical industry is bid by the imperial court and does not do business with others. Therefore, it is not easy to obtain a large amount of medicine. Of course, you I will report your request to His Majesty, and I think our Majesty should be very willing to meet your request."

"Ah, free medical care for all?!" Fugui's words stunned Marcus Aurelius.You know, he thought that he could be regarded as a benevolent emperor, but he didn't expect that compared with the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the gap is really big.

Seeing the expression of Marcus Aurelius, Commodus knew that his father had been hit.Therefore, he hurried forward to change the subject, "Father, the rich Viscount's visit this time is still entrusted by the Emperor Han, and he wants to talk to you about re-running the Suez Canal. I wonder if you have any opinions?"

"Through the Suez Canal?" Marcus Aurelius heard what Commodus said, and couldn't stop thinking about the pros and cons of this canal for Rome if it runs through it. (To be continued..)
