Chapter 1140 Rejecting Rome's Request

Although the Roman envoy had some eyes on the top before he saw the strength of the big man, this is also normal.Even if the envoy of the Han Dynasty went to other small countries, it would be the same.

Of course, the best envoy should be neither humble nor overbearing, neither bowing down because of the strength of the envoy's country, nor overbearing because of the weakness of the envoy's country.The envoy of a big country should show the spirit of a big country, and the envoy of a small country should not lose the dignity of the country. Such an envoy is the best.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Liu Bian didn't make things difficult for the Roman envoy, but said with a smile, "Your Chinese is pretty good. How long have you been learning it?"

One of the leading envoys said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have learned Chinese for more than a year, and it was the envoys of your country who taught us."

"You guys are interested!" Liu Bian nodded. According to what Xun Yu said earlier, the caravan of the big man actually didn't speak much Roman. They first stayed in Anxi for a few months and learned Roman from them. Accompanied by them, he went to Rome to do business, and after more than a year of training, he learned the Roman language.However, the Chinese language of the Roman envoys was learned from the Han envoys.

Liu Bian didn't rush to ask the envoy about Rome's information first, but let the system test his thinking first.

Caruse: Strength 69, Commander 51, Intelligence 79, Politics 63.

Seeing that his ability was not very good, Liu Bian had no fear, and then asked: "I have never been to your country, so I don't know who is better in your country than I am?"

The envoy clasped his hands and said, "Although the big man is powerful, he is not as good as our country."

Liu Bian pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Your Rome is so powerful?"

"Of course!" the envoy said with his head raised.

Liu Bian shook his head again and again: "I don't believe it, my big man has millions of soldiers and tens of millions of people, and the people live well, and they have never been hungry. Even the powerful Guishuang Empire in the west is used by my big man with less than 5000 people. People are wiped out, can you Rome do it too?"

"This..." The envoy was speechless for a moment.

Originally, he could have said yes, even Rome, but Liu Bian had learned from Xun Yu earlier that the Roman envoys came to Han for a purpose.

One is to seek the seeds of high-quality grain from the Han Dynasty, and the other is to hope that the Han Dynasty will send troops to attack the Parthia Empire with Rome.

The Parthia Empire has always been a border problem of Rome, just like the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, although Parthia is not Rome's opponent.But after the Romans learned that the big man had destroyed Guishuang, they sent envoys to the big man, hoping that the big man would send troops from Guishuang to calm the border troubles.

However, it is naturally impossible for Liu Bian to agree to Rome's request.

Because at this moment Rome is already on the verge of civil strife, internal and external troubles, and the country is gradually weakening.If it is really united with Rome to destroy Sabbath, then Rome will definitely inject new vitality, make a lot of war fortune, obtain a large amount of gold, silver, and slaves, and maybe Rome will survive the national crisis because of this.

You must know that Liu Bian also intends to let Mongolia move westward to Rome to cause civil strife in Rome. If Rome is infused with vitality, then how can Mongolia play.

Therefore, Liu Bian would never agree to the Roman emperor's proposal.

Telling the envoy to be silent, Liu Bian couldn't help but sighed: "Unexpectedly, there is such a powerful country as my big man in the world. I used to really watch the sky from the well. Come, I will reward the Guishuang envoy with five hundred gold and ten carts of pearls and agates. A thousand pieces of porcelain, a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and a hundred altars of fine wine."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he smiled at the messenger and said, "Please take these gifts back to your country and give them to your emperor to express my friendship to your country."

"Thank you for the reward from the Great Han Emperor!" The envoy was very excited when he heard that Liu Bian had rewarded him so much, and he cupped his hands to thank him.

Seeing that Liu Bian had given so many gifts in one go, the envoy felt that Liu Bian was easy to talk to, so he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, in fact, I came to the Great Han Dynasty, the emperor of our country, to explain some things to me, and I hope His Majesty can agree!"

Liu Bian stroked his beard, pretending to be embarrassed: "Your country is so powerful, why would you ask me for help? If your country can't be done, I think I can't do anything for you."

The messenger quickly said: "Your Majesty, this is very simple for your country. Our Majesty has two requests for the big man. The first one is to get sweet potatoes, corn, and other seeds from your country, and let me take them back to the country to cultivate them." The second is to hope that the big man can send troops to attack our country and rest in peace!"

Liu Bian sighed and said: "You don't know, sweet potatoes and corn seeds were also discovered by the people of our country from the depths of the mountains. They were brought back to the country and cultivated slowly. Only now have they harvested. It is not enough to spread them in our own country. There is no more for your country.

What's more, didn't you say that your Rome is strong, so they must not be hungry. If that is the case, why do you need these seeds? "

The envoy's face was full of confusion. He had blocked his words by boasting before, but now he can't even get some sweet potatoes and corn to take back to cultivate.

Admitting it is a lie, it would be embarrassing for their country, if you don't admit it, you won't get seeds.

The envoy thought for a while, and could only say this: "Our emperor saw that these two kinds of grains are very delicious, so he wanted to spread them to our country, so that the people can also taste such delicious food. Please give me a little bit from His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

There was only a bang, but it was Liu Bian who slapped the table. Liu Bian was full of anger and said: "Your country is really deceiving people too much. I just promised that the people of the big man will not be hungry, but I can't guarantee that you will be hungry." You can eat enough. Since you Rome is already so strong and the people can fill their stomachs, why do you still come to ask me for food? Do you want my people to starve to death?"

"It's really greedy!"

"That's right, I originally thought that they should have the bearing of a big country in the West, but they don't want to be so greedy!"

"These seeds are not enough for our Han people to cultivate. If I give them to your country, won't our Han people starve to death next year?"

Hearing what Liu Bian said, the officials knew that Liu Bian did not want to agree to Rome's request, so they all cooperated and accused Rome of being greedy.

The Roman envoy's talents were mediocre, and when faced with the accusations of the crowd, his face turned red immediately, and he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Bian waved his hand, signaled the officials to stop, and said to the emissary, "I'm really sorry, I really can't give you any extra seeds, please go back and express my apology to your emperor, We also searched for these seeds in the deep mountains. After you go back, you can tell your king and ask him to search for them too. Later, I will ask someone to draw a picture for you, and you can find it according to the picture."

Hearing this, the emissary thought to himself, "It turns out that corn and sweet potatoes have not been cultivated in Dahan for long. They were found in deep mountains and old forests. If Dahan has them, our country may also have them. Dahan is thousands of miles away from our country, and we have to go through Anxi on the way. Guishuang, if you are not careful, you will be arrested, and the seeds will be moldy and damaged if they are not well protected, and you can't deliver much at one time. Why don't you get the pattern and go back and find out for yourself!"

Thinking of this, the envoy immediately beamed with joy, and said, "Then I would like to thank the Emperor of Han."

Seeing that the envoy believed it, Liu Bian suppressed a smile in his heart. Rome couldn't find sweet potatoes and corn seeds even if they found them. These are only things in South America, and they don't exist in Eurasia.

Immediately Liu Bian asked again: "I wonder what the second thing you said was?"
