"After all, less than ten years ago, the Persian Empire paid a lot of money to Rome. Rome should be much richer than Persia." Sima Ji showed his white teeth and did not hide his purpose. "Of course, I heard that the people in Rome are very luxurious. Didn't I come to visit me with a generous gift? Let's talk first, maybe I can still do business then. Thirty thousand satin silk, this is not a small amount. After all, I came for trade."

"Can you still trade after the war?" Murong Han said in disbelief when he heard this. He could not understand the key.

"Of course, trade is a demand, and no one can go against this demand?" Sima Ji nodded indifferently. Since the spread of silk along the Silk Road, the Romans have fallen in love with silk. They are proud to be able to wear silk, especially in the upper class. Silk is simply a symbol of their aristocratic status. It is smooth, light, exquisite, and luxurious. Compared with the wool linen worn by the ancient Romans before, it is unknown how many times comfortable or how noble it is. Therefore, people rush to buy it.

The silk that the King of Yan personally escorted was high-end goods, not monochrome material, and there were many patterns on it. From this point of view, he really came to spread culture and prepared to meet the Romans. Of course, the army was first and then the ceremony was later. If you should fight, you should also have this mental preparation.

After all, as the overlord of the Mediterranean, Sima Ji and more than 100,000 people said that he wanted to go around Egypt. Egypt was so important as the granary of the Roman Empire, and the Romans would definitely not agree. This was difficult. He was afraid of death and had to bring an army in.

Sima Ji recently asked about Rome's love for silk. After learning about it, he could only sigh that this luxury is really a unique disciple of later generations. Later generations claimed to be the third Roman Empire, but the economy was not very good. The American imperial emperor, known as modern Rome, had a strong economy, and had stronger spending. Really, consumption was always ahead of production.

I don’t know if I can balance the relationship between production and consumption. I fell into one pit for several consecutive heydays. It seems that there is still a lot of room for this pit and it can still be buried in several countries.

"We should meet consumers too!" Sima Ji fiddled with the ring in his hand and said to himself, "Maybe there will be a trade agreement, if Persia does not object."

Before leaving, Sima Ji refused the kindness of the Persians and sent troops together? This trick of pretending to be powerful should not be used on the King of Yan. He always did things by himself and did not need anyone's help. Just like he looked at the Yellow race group, without this race, only the identity of Jin people. Keeping those small Southeast Asian countries has basically no effect and will cause trouble from time to time.

The basic form of later generations is to only talk about Chinese people, and they can compete with Europe and the United States. With other small countries that are dragging their backs, China will have a headache. So even if there is ethnic conflict in the future, Sima Ji feels that he does not need the assistance of other small countries from yellow people at all, just do it himself.

When I saw that small East and Southeast Asian country, my face could highlight the loyalty and honesty of the Russians.

Sima Ji, who had been in Persia for a long time, finally started his next trip. It was Egypt, the Roman Empire's jurisdiction, and was not fooled by Wandat to find trouble for Diocletian, nor was he going to Syria. He would never use his troops to help Persia open up territory. He had already paid the rewards for mercenaries with the Arabs. These middlemen should not take advantage of these.

Leaving a hundred thousand female relatives, Sima Ji said that he would definitely come back within three months, and Wandat said that he would never harass these women. Sima Ji would listen to this. The fate of these women depends entirely on whether he can still go from one victory to another.

As for the army that was about to set off, Sima Ji completely changed into another style, "Why don't a real man have no wives? The old ones don't go to the new ones. If we win this battle, we can go to Egypt and grab them again. Well, look for them again! The world is so big, don't there be women? If you change your taste, isn't it also spreading civilization?"

"Follow the King of Yan, you will never refuse!" The soldiers of the army were very excited when they heard this. They liked the King of Yan's way of inspiring morale. Seeing that the army was full of morale, Sima Ji waved his hand and set off, preparing to talk to consumers about the issue of direct sales of manufacturers.

Consumers' lives are not easy now. Of course, this is not just about money, but only part of the factor. In the final analysis, it is still the internal contradictions of Rome. Diocletian summoned him, and he had forgotten how long he had not returned to Rome. And the current Roman citizens are also very unfamiliar in his eyes.

Walking through the Arc de Triomphe he ordered to build, Diocletian welcomed his comrade-in-arms Maximian. Amid the cheers of Roman citizens, the two walked side by side and enjoyed the glory of the empire.

Maximian also knew the purpose of Diocletian's arrival. According to the agreement, Diocletian and his two Augustus would abdicate at the same time, and promote their deputy from Caesar to Augustus, and decide on the next Caesar. Now Diocletian is back from the East, obviously coming back to fulfill his promise.

Maximian actually thought differently from Diocletian. He actually wanted his son to succeed the throne, but Diocletian had no son and only had a daughter. If Sima Ji had this, he would definitely spread the advanced experience of my Great Jin Dynasty. Monogamy restricted the growth of your descendants. It was like our Great Jin Dynasty. As long as you have children, the legitimate son will come out sooner or later.

After the greetings, Maximian looked at Diocletian, who was tired and asked, "How is the situation in the Eastern Territory?"

"The Persians are very honest, but they seem to have been in trouble recently." When they heard their comrades mentioning this, Diocletian's face appeared to be gloating about Persia's situation and happy to see the Roman enemy being unlucky.

Before Maximian could ask, Diocletian said with great interest, "I heard that an army appeared in the east, attacking the territory of the Persian Empire, and is now stationed in the far suburbs of Taixifeng. This time the Persians are in trouble. The merchants who came back said that this army exceeds 100,000, and the commander is an Eastern monarch. He conquered the vassal states in the east of the Persian Empire, and directly entered Khorasan, turning the Persian Empire upside down?"

"Is there such a thing? Is it a barbarian?" Maximian was curious and asked Diocletian about the specific situation. In his opinion, it should be a threat similar to that of the Germans on the northeastern border.

"It shouldn't be. I heard that this army is well-equipped and knows the Persians very well. I hope this army will harm our enemies, but unfortunately, it seems that the two sides have been together peacefully for a while. It seems that things have passed!" Diocletian sighed. It was obvious that the Persians did not continue to be unlucky, which was a very regrettable thing in his eyes.

The Persian Empire, plus the Parthian Empire before, was an old rival of Rome. Crassu, one of the three giants hundreds of years ago, was buried in Parthia's hands. Rome has never suffered such heavy losses from an opponent since Hannibal. Together with the current Persia and the previous Parthian, Rome and its neighbors in the East have fought many battles.

The Roman legion, the capital of Parthia, had captured Taixifeng no less than three times. It captured Taixifeng again a few years ago. In Sima Ji's eyes, this was a strange thing, but in the eyes of the Roman legion, it was almost a routine operation. But it was useless, and the Persians still became a threat to Rome from time to time.

After problems arose within Persia, Diocletian also paid attention for a while, but after not seeing the follow-up, he gradually relaxed his vigilance. In the last year of the official rule of the four emperors, according to the original agreement, he should abdicate and pass the position of Augustus to Caesar to complete the handover of rights.

Diocletian, who did not notice the danger, returned to Rome from his own territory, first talked to his old comrades, and then officially started the rotation of the four emperors' co-governance. According to the system he designed, he and Maximian abdicated at the same time, and Galerius and Constantius I were both promoted from Caesar to Augustus. They officially became rulers of the Roman Empire, and at the same time they had to choose a new Caesar to assist Augustus.

Diocletian, who arrived in the city of Rome and had a great chat with his old comrades, never dreamed that when he felt that there was no danger and could abdicate according to the previous agreement, the strange army of Eastern countries set off again, and drove the flock of sheep to the southwest and gradually approached the border of the Roman Empire.

As a firm supporter of the four emperors' co-governance, Galerius soon arrived at the city of Rome with Diocletian's pace. The three of them were waiting for the last Caesar, and Constantius who had already rushed towards Rome.

At this moment, Sima Ji finally stepped into Rome and easily solved the blocking border guards. Sima Ji asked in the face of the prisoners who were escorted, "Do you belong to the army of that country?"

"Rome!" He looked rather unyielding, and with a brief answer, the positive image of the little officer appeared on the paper, setting off the invader's dirty and shamelessness.

"Oh?" Sima Ji nodded on his own, and suddenly reached out to give the positive character a big mouth and cursed, "I am looking for Rome. I pretend to be willing to die in front of me, get out of here, tell the Roman army guarding ahead, and make way for those who know the truth, otherwise, Khorasan will be your fate."
