Chapter 4340: old tree blooms new

In fact, Chen Xi knew early on that as long as the Han Dynasty kills Guishuang within a generation, it will inevitably have a few big fights with Rome.

After all, at that time, on the one hand, Rome needed to determine the threat level of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, both the Han Dynasty and Rome had large-scale foreign chips that needed to be disposed of.

Even as early as a few years ago, Chen Xi had already thought about the final outcome of the two sides. The land along the Persian Gulf that can grow sugar cane will inevitably be planted with sugar cane after this series of wars, but for whom are these sugar canes planted? Whether to pay or not depends on each person's ability.

At the very least, Chen Xi is sure that the Han family will continue to control Central Asia and Eastern Europe. During the period, there may be inevitable losses, and it is even inevitable that some Han families will be wiped out, but those families that remain until the end will definitely have enough strength to bear the burden. All responsibility.

Therefore, in the judgment of Chen Xi when he looked into the future, the series of wars after killing Guishuang were controllable. Even if the Han Dynasty and Rome fought, at least it would be peaceful in the end, but now, looking at the hands After applying the prescription of this secret medicine, Chen Xi sighed.

[Sure enough, you shouldn't think about a controllable war. There is no way to predict the unexpectedness of a war. 】Chen Xi felt extremely emotional in his heart, but his face didn't move at all.

"This secret medicine, if considered from a long-term perspective, is more like a poison pill." Guo Jia said suddenly, he was already clearly aware of the future situation.

As long as this thing is really effective, it is impossible for Rome to let it go, and the origin of this thing is basically resting, so Rome has to **** these origins just to protect its own interests.

As for things like trust, one can see from the current situation of the government affairs office that talking about trust between countries is somewhat hurtful.

"Even if it's a poison pill, it's better for us to take it than others." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Be prepared to negotiate with Rome, well, be prepared for the worst, maybe Rome will vaguely increase the price." Frost enters."

When Chen Xi said this, Weisudeva I, who had confirmed the loss of information, directly copied this secret medicine to Rome.

There is nothing to say, since the Han Dynasty knows, and they basically do not produce the core main drug of this secret medicine in Guishuang, nor does it in Rome, and this secret medicine and secret method are so powerful, then there is nothing to say Yes, of course they joined forces to divide up the interests of the Han Dynasty.

Playing other things, Weisudeva I might lose, but this kind of diplomatic means, Weisudevas I is definitely the top player among these emperors in the early third century.

Since I can no longer use this thing now, and the secret medicine is still exposed in the hands of the Han Dynasty, then I will directly drag in a character that your Han Dynasty has to be afraid of, and pass the pressure on to the Han Dynasty. It depends on how your Han Dynasty chooses .

The big deal is that everyone doesn't have it, as long as everyone doesn't have it, or everyone has it, then Guishuang is not a loser, after all, this thing itself does not belong to the three of them.

"So let it be analyzed directly by the Academy of Medical Sciences. Galen is also a participant. When the rationing system is distributed, we will discuss with Rome about the distribution. Now let us express our attitude." Chen Xi quickly made up his mind and ate alone. No, at least take the lead.

"That's the only way to go." Li You sighed a little bit. Although he had absolute confidence in the strength of the Han Empire, if he was right with Rome, and under the current circumstances, even if he could win, I am afraid it is also equivalent to losing.

In fact, Chen Xi is also very aware of the current strength of the Han Dynasty. If Guishuang, the third party, is eliminated, and the Han Dynasty and Rome are matched one-on-one, Chen Xi has the confidence to win, but there is one more Guishuang here to disrupt the situation. The power that can be vacated in the room is basically at a comprehensive disadvantage to Rome. Even if all veterans are recruited, it will be as if Rome has no veterans.

When the sky changed, it clearly stated the state of Rome. Since 194, the behavior of cutting corners has stopped abruptly for more than ten years. The problem is that Rome still existed before 194, and they were before 194. It has a very clear quality strengthening route.

Just as the current Han Dynasty has returned to the right way of smelting that was once polished by the Huns, Rome has also restored the quality enhancement line that was once polished by rest.

Perhaps in terms of smelting level, Rome is indeed slightly inferior to the Han Dynasty, but the Romans rely on metallization and the quality strengthening route of specific strengthening properties, and the Han Dynasty is basically on par with the Han Dynasty in terms of army, and there is no obvious advantage at all.

Compared with Rome, the only advantage of the Han Dynasty is actually logistical support. The problem is that this thing cannot be displayed within two to three years after the start of the war.

Economic strength is not equal to force, but equal to hematopoietic ability and potential, which has been demonstrated countless times in history.

So it is okay to fight Rome, but you must not face Guishuang at the same time when you are fighting Rome. For a large country, the most passive strategy is to fight on both sides.

Therefore, when the current situation has not completely turned bad, it is better to talk about it. If Rome's asking price is too high, then there is nothing to say, but if Rome's asking price is within the range of the Han Dynasty, there is no need to turn your face.

"Do you think Rome will have a conflict with the Han Dynasty because of this?" Liu Bei notified Liu Ye, who was sorting out the affairs of the feudal state in the palace, with a special secret technique, and told Liu Ye the cause and effect, although Chen Xi and Liu Ye were regarded as We have parted ways, but Liu Bei will still inform you of some things.

"No." Liu Ye replied after a while, "The position of the Roman Empire is very complicated, and it is impossible to distinguish it alone, but Rome's actions will inevitably abide by the center of national interests, and it will fight against the Han Dynasty. It is meaningless to Rome, the Han Dynasty is not a threat to them, and since it is a herbal medicine, there may not be no place in Rome where it can be grown."

"When talking about it, add that if Rome grows locally, the quota of the Han Dynasty will be gradually reduced." Liu Bei realized what he said, and then said to Fazheng.

"That's right, Rome might be able to grow it too." Chen Xi nodded and said, of course, that was the case on the surface. In fact, Chen Xi knew very well that although there are indeed places in Europe where this thing can be grown, the actual output is very low. Low.

Even though China has also carried out breeding in later generations, the real output is still very low. Even in the 21st century, Yin Lang still accounts for 80% of the world's saffron output.

To be honest, it's not that other countries don't want to plant, but that the conditions such as climate, light and heat, and geographical environment are relatively strange. It doesn't depend on the sky, but the cost of man-made environment is too high, and if it fails, it will suffer heavy losses, causing two thousand years to pass , Yin Lang is still the largest producer.

By the way, Yin Lang directly provided more than 200,000 jobs by planting saffron.

After excluding Yin Lang, Spain is the second largest producing area in the world, and Afghanistan is the third largest. As for the largest saffron producing area in China, that is, Chongming Island, the planting area is as high as 600 mu, and the yield per mu is indeed more than 600 mu. Yin Lang has reached an outrageous yield of about three catties per mu, but Yin Lang's saffron planting area is as high as 115,000 hectares.

It is equivalent to only 1,150 square kilometers, which is not a problem at all for a large empire like Anxi. Of course, this is not because Yin Lang of later generations does not want to continue to expand, but it is suitable for only this much land on a land of millions of square kilometers. The place is suitable for growing this stuff.

In fact, only 122,000 hectares have been developed so far that are suitable for planting saffron. Except for Yinlang, 0.7W hectares, most of them are in Spain, and the remaining half are in Afghanistan, and they happen to be in the only main city of Cao Ang’s forces. There in Herat.

That’s right, although Herat’s other plants are average, there is a piece of land in that place that is very suitable for growing saffron. 80% of the so-called Afghan saffron comes from this place.

In other words, if it is divided according to the output limit of the photo area, and all places suitable for planting are developed to the limit, then Anxi should be able to produce 80% of the world's total output, and a certain piece of Spain has been planted since BC The place where saffron can produce 10% of the world's total output, while Herat can produce 5%, and the rest is other places.

So expecting Rome to grow it by itself is pure nonsense. The two provinces of Greece and Spain under the Roman rule have places that can be planted. The problem is that all of them have been developed, which may only be about 11%. They were all under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

At present, the only remaining ones are not under the rule of the Han Dynasty. The only ones that can grow this thing are Kabul occupied by Ardashir and the later Kashmir area. The total of these two is about 3%.

As for the local Han Dynasty, let’s put it this way, when China’s saffron production was at its peak in the 21st century, it produced less than 10,000 catties a year. To put it bluntly, Chen Xi didn’t expect to produce it locally.

So according to Chen Xi's thinking, the final high probability is to blend with Rome under the table, and then for every two copies obtained by the Han Dynasty, Rome will get one. The secret medicine that needs this main medicine.

Although Chen Xi reckoned it was unlikely, and the three genius doctors were indeed powerful enough, but expecting to solve this thing quickly, I'm afraid it was a dream.

After all, time is running out, and if Guishuang can't crack it before he dies, there is no need to crack it. Anyway, he will fight Rome anyway, and it doesn't make sense whether he breaks it or not.

"Zi Chuan, come with me." After this matter was finalized, Liu Bei did not stay for long, and he was not used to the side of the Political Yuan, and the military camp was more suitable for him, but after walking two steps, he retreated and turned to face him. Chen Xi greeted.

"Maybe I still have some work to do." Chen Xi complained, got up and walked towards Liu Bei, now that Zhuge Liang can be used as a pillar, Chen Xi doesn't need to spend all the time here, so it is very casual Followed Liu Bei and went out.

"Anyway, you haven't worked very much recently, and I don't expect you to work. The general direction is fine. I've been moving forward, and I will arrive sooner or later." Liu Bei said with a smile as he looked at Chen Xi who was following up.

"It's thanks to Kong Ming. It's really impossible to change someone." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Zi Jing is really good, but Kong Ming is even better, that's all I can say."

"Zijing." Liu Bei was a bit complicated when he heard the words. After all, Lu Su's showdown directly reduced the seal of the civil and military officials who followed Liu Bei by more than a dozen points, and it was placed at the level of the empire. Let's put it this way, Thanks to the fact that the lord is Liu Bei, and Lu Su is indeed outstanding, otherwise he would have met a crazy veteran on the road and was stabbed to death on the street.

If you think about it carefully, Lu Su's words mixed together are second only to Cao Cao's random killing of major families. It's just that someone helped block Lu Su's matter out of sympathy, and Cao Cao's matter can only be blocked. Cao Cao carried it himself.

"Forget it, don't mention him anymore. It doesn't matter if you go to the front line. It won't take long. Once you get used to it there, you can get Wen He back." Chen Xi said casually.

"Liu Min passed away." Liu Bei said suddenly. Chen Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized that he didn't know how to answer the words after a while.

"What about the Empress Dowager?" Chen Xi bit the bullet and asked, he finally understood why Jia Xu wanted to go back to the Ganges when Lu Su made it clear to go to the Ganges in the year after the year, okay, New flowers bloom on old trees, right?

Liu Bei didn't want to pursue these matters at all, and Tang Ji's matter itself had nothing to say. Jia Xu didn't cause trouble in the harem, but had an affair with Tang Ji after the death of the young emperor. The problem was that the general environment of the Han Dynasty didn't pay attention to this. It's not even a secret for the Queen Mother to find a male favorite.

Not to mention looking for a male favorite, there are more than one empress dowagers who were married twice.

Empress Dowager Bo first married Wei Bao, then Emperor Gao, and gave birth to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. The queen married by Liu Bei, the official history, was actually married.

These days, we don’t pay attention to this at all. Instead of asking the queen mother to find a male favorite after the death of the emperor, it is better to study how to prevent the queen mother from frequently listening to the government from behind the curtain.

The problem is that Tang Ji is playing for real, and now she is going to remarry, which completely messes up the rules. After all, there has not been such a thing as the Jin Dynasty's sheep queen remarrying the new emperor these days.

Although Chen Xi and Li You had discussed in private before, Cai Yan had also told Chen Xi to help him in this matter between the beds. After all, Cai Yan basically had no friends. Tang Ji It can be regarded as one of the few who have a good relationship, but they are not ready yet.

Are you mourning now? Now I can't even see anyone, and I can't perform a play!

Ah, no, Liu Min is "dead". Doesn't that mean that Tang Ji is really pregnant, and Tang Ji has probably crossed that line, dying, dying, Zhao Qi's group didn't talk to Jia Xu Let's fight, or just pretend that you don't know about it!
