Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 708 Jia Xu Doing Business

The winter capital, Taixifeng, is located in the middle of the later Iranian plateau, which is the center of the West Asian world.

When Lao Jiaxu entered Dongdu, he suddenly felt exotic.Before he came, Qin Feng told him to sell as high a price as possible, but not less than 40 grains.But Qin Feng still gave the right to decide. He told old Jia Xu that the Romans were "garbage" to the alliance, and they would still eat "garbage" of food.If the Anxi people are unwilling to pay a high price, Lao Jiaxu can sell it casually.

Qin Feng hopes to get rid of these Roman garbage as soon as possible. The current lack of food in the alliance is also caused by the 40 Roman garbage.

In the Arabic-style domed palace, the high-level officials of Anxi gathered together.

"What? 40 Roman prisoners for food!" The rest of the officials were shocked.

40 slaves is really a big deal.

"I don't know how much food the champion intends to exchange for?" the young Vologis V asked.

After three general translators translated into three languages, the two sides were able to communicate.Although it was a bit troublesome, it was finally possible to communicate.

Old Jia Xu sighed, "I'm an old man, I won't talk about it, the opposite is the emperor of an empire, and it takes three rounds of translation to communicate. And my lord, masters multiple languages..."

"How much food? 60..." Old Jia Xu stretched out six fingers.This guy is 40 more than the 20 Qin Feng instructed.

"What, 60?" Vologis V was taken aback. This would almost catch up with the strategic reserve of the Parthian army.

The prime minister of the empire, Old Barrier, came out and said, "Your envoy, the number of transactions requested by your alliance is too expensive."

Agnes, the Minister of Treasury of the Empire, snapped his fingers and said, "In my opinion, 20 is about the same."

Old Jiaxu rolled his eyes at him for a while, this is really a lion's mouth, cutting more than half in half.

Vologis V nodded and said, "Yes, 20 is a reasonable price."

In fact, the Parthian Empire was very interested in acquiring Roman slaves. This came from two aspects. On the one hand, Parthian and Rome were feuds. On the other hand, slaves did not need wages. The output value of a slave was three times that of a commoner.

Old Jiaxu looked very disappointed, bowed his hands, and said: "The Anxi people are friends, and they are trustworthy friends. I hope that this trade can be carried out in a fair and equitable manner."

Including Vologis V, the rest of the high-level officials are very embarrassed.

Old Jia Xu took the opportunity to persuade, "Your Majesty, ministers, let's not talk about the value of the 40 slaves, let's talk about the status of these slaves first. These are Roman slaves." Old Jia Xu was quite excited, "Think about it, In the past thousand years, who has used Roman slaves? The entire Western world is trembling under the iron heels of the Romans, and 4000 million people of all nationalities have become Roman slaves."

Old Jia Xu spat and said, "Your country will become the first country in the history of the world to use Roman slaves, which is enough to go down in history, and the reputation of Allah will resound throughout the world." In front of Minister of Finance Agnes, "Tell me, how much is this reputation worth?"

Agnes raised his sleeve, wiped his face with the gold-trimmed cuff, and retched.

"Priceless!" Lao Jia Xu raised his hand and shouted.

Including Vologis V, everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded frequently.

"Why not, how about 30?" Vologis V asked the philistine.

Old Jia Xu rolled his eyes for a while, and he walked past the rest of the officials, and said as he walked: "The most heroic centurion in Rome, the noble general, tribune, and consul of Rome, will pull the cart for you."

The peace ministers became excited.

Old Jia Xu walked all the way to the throne, and said: "A beautiful lady in Rome..." As he said that, he gave Vologis V a wink that any man could understand.

The young Vologis V had outstanding abilities, and the alluring appearance of a Roman lady appeared in his mind at that time.To tell the truth, he had never touched a Roman woman, and he really wanted to.But under normal circumstances, the Roman noblewomen could not do it for Vologis V. This came from the culture and hatred of both sides.But it would be different if it was a slave. King Vologis V immediately said, "Well, 40 grains."

This has reached Qin Feng's instructions, but old Jia Xu was not satisfied, he acted on the spot, and felt that there was still room for a price increase.He began to say again, "Your Majesty, these are 40 healthy slaves. Your country's financial officials will definitely be able to calculate how much they can produce in the next 30 to [-] years."

"For 40 slaves, whether it is land reclamation or farming, it only takes two years for you to recover the cost, and the remaining 30 years are earned. You can't be a friend who loses money like this."

"This..." Vologis V hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then let's do this, 50 grains, no more."

Old Jia Xu's eyes flashed a little playful, and he began to speak solemnly again, saying: "Your Majesty, have you thought about it. Among these slaves, there are men and women. Men are slaves for generations, and women are slaves for generations. Generation after generation of slaves, how much can they produce after thousands of years? You can’t be so deceitful to your friends.”

Men are slaves from generation to generation!Women are born slaves from generation to generation!Anxi's high-level officials were shocked, and felt that what Old Jia Xu said was too reasonable.

"Okay, then 60. This amount was proposed by you just now, and the price cannot be increased." Vologis V gritted his teeth and said.

In this regard, the Roman garbage that the alliance did not want was sold by Lao Jiaxu at a 'reasonable' price of 60 yuan.

In this regard, Anxi got the garbage that the alliance of princes did not want, and paid for almost the entire strategic grain reserve of the imperial military.

Five days later, old Jia Xu, who was walking on the avenue built by Rome, returned to the Allied Army.

"How about Wenhe, how much did you sell for, is it enough for us?" Qin Feng asked eagerly.

The princes pricked up their ears.

Old Jiaxu saluted and said: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, so they sold 60 grains."

Hum~, the princes poured cold water into the frying pan, and they exploded immediately.

"Incompetence and sold 60!"

"20 more than expected!"

"This is all incompetence, so aren't we mentally retarded!"

Liu Bei's big ears circled for a while, "Mr. Wenhe, how did you sell it?"

Old Jia Xu came one by one.

Men are slaves from generation to generation!Women are born slaves from generation to generation!The princes were shocked.

Liu Bei flapped his ears and said in his heart that it was too despicable, but no one who followed Qin Zijin was a good thing.This old guy looks kind-hearted, but he's really dark.

Qin Feng laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it's a good sale. That's how business should be done. Wen He has made great contributions. When he is rescued and brought back to His Majesty, he will be rewarded a lot."

Old Jia Xu hastily stood aside modestly.

As a result, the food and grass problem of the alliance of princes was resolved, Qin Feng began to attack 'Ankara', and ordered Liu Bei to attack 'Antalya', and Cao Cao to attack Istanbul.Qin Feng especially emphasized that the three armies will join forces at "Ephesus" in the future to seize this important seaport city leading to Greece.

Almost at the same time, Severus' 30 troops arrived in Ephesus, the seaport in the west of Asia Minor, by boat.
