Although the current situation of the three empires is not bad, the internal situation is not good. It’s just that the glory of the prosperous empire has covered up all the decline. If you really want to say it, whether it is Rome, Han, or Kushan, there are very big problems.

First, the Han Dynasty itself had no choice. The aristocratic family transformed from the pre-Qin aristocrats. After four hundred years of energy, they grew to this level. If they did not take external steps, they would have only one choice. Once they embarked on the road of internal circulation, the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties would be near.

Although Chen Xi can run through the upstream and downstream, constantly integrate industrially and create new demands, in essence, these behaviors are only at the level of life-sustaining. It can be said that as long as the problems of the aristocratic families are not solved, the Han Dynasty will basically be a destined path to talk about the classics and class solidification of the classics and the class in the Jin and Southern Dynasties.

However, if Chen Xi directly overturned the aristocratic family, let alone Chen Xi may not be able to do it. Even if he can do it, it would be too cruel to revolutionize himself. The final result can only be compromised with the laws of historical development. Since he can't do it, then sit down and talk and solve the problem in other ways.

In this way, the adaptation became a natural reason, which solved the problem of aristocratic families and the problem of intra-volume. As for the troubles caused by doing so, compared with the problems caused by intra-volume, it was still acceptable. Naturally, the Han Dynasty stumbled out by force.

The problem of Rome is that it is even more collapsed than the Han Dynasty, which is a theoretically unsolvable problem. Unless Rome can make the cake super big, allowing citizens to gradually hide behind the scenes and blind those barbarians with information asymmetry, the situation Pompianus can do now can be said to be the best situation.

The problem is that the above proposal is a layout that can only be completed in Western society for another 1,500 years. As for the current situation in Rome, Pompianus can't solve it even if he comes ten.

Simply put, Rome's out-of-control chariot was rushing all the way. The best way was to get a speed reducer to gradually slow down the chariot. Due to technical and experience issues, no one could do this and could only try every means to strengthen and thicken the chariot, but this was not the solution to the problem at all.

Even the result of this is that ordinary bicycles lose control and hit the most pain points of people. After being thickened and reinforced, they become off-road vehicles. The moment they really collided, the people inside would be broken.

It can be said that Rome's road is basically over. Now it can be maintained by force, finance, and wisdom. However, with the loss of time, it will sooner or later become a reliance on the inertia of rule to maintain its own rule. However, it will take about 1,400 years for Europe to point out the social system that will truly transform Rome, and Rome is basically on the verge of death.

As for the Kushan country, it would be better not to mention it. Anyway, the Han Dynasty did not want to roll in, so it could only eat meat, and Kushan was the piece of meat that was appointed.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter how big the shortcomings of the Kushan system are. Anyway, whether there are any shortcomings will be killed by the Han Dynasty, so the significance of attention is no longer so great.

While Zhuge Liang was thinking about the situation in Rome, the Roman Senate had already chosen a day as the arrival of the New Year. Now a group of Roman Senate is certifying the tax revenue of last year.

Overall, Pompianus did a good job last year, and he also rolled a lot of silk from the Han Dynasty, so that the Roman soldiers who participated in the war were all given some new clothes made of silk, which was also a joy. Including Severus's statistics in the middle of the year, he gave the soldiers another bonus. Now the Roman citizens are quite rich.

Under this situation, the Severus dynasty's people's index was naturally very high. In turn, more and more barbarians wanted to join the Roman Empire. However, the ascending channel that was temporarily opened during the Roman-Sabre Battle was closed again, so that the barbarians are now quite anxious.

"Pompianus, I've calculated it briefly before. We should have a balance of 1.3 billion Sesters." Herodian asked in confusion, looking at the deficit finally obtained from the financial data and looked at Pompianus with a strange look, "Why is it a negative number? Oh, no, why is there a negative number in the fiscal balance?"

During the feudal empire, there was basically no negative fiscal number, because negative numbers meant that not only did there be no balance, but also overspending. The problem was that there was no money, how did you overspending? As for using accumulated property, that was another problem.

"I have invested all my money in mining, public construction, roads, water diversion channels, bridges, animal husbandry, agriculture, and handicraft workshops, so the surplus has become a negative." Pompianus picked up the incense burner from the Han Dynasty, took a big mouthful of it, became a little more energetic, and then put the incense burner aside, saying with a tired look on his face.

"There is such an operation?" Herodian looked at Pompianus with a strange look.

"If you don't do this, your Majesty will pay the soldiers crazy, so it's better to spend it in advance." Pompianus said half-resisting the seat. After following Severus for half a year, Pompianus' head was almost bald, and he was so able to spend money.

"Uh, that's true." Herodian's mouth twitched twice, then nodded. Pompianus didn't say nonsense, that's the fact.

"By the way, there is actually a surplus of 1.3 billion Sesters, which is almost comparable to our peak period back then." Herodian asked with a little curiosity when he saw Pompianus's expression of fatigue and not wanting to speak.

"..." Pompianus glanced at Herodian and didn't say anything. In fact, it was not a surplus of 1.3 billion, but nearly 2 billion, which had exceeded any peak period in Rome.

It’s not that Pompianus operates well. It can only be said that Pompianus was forced to do something by Severus, and every copper was arranged for use, so that Severus would not allow him to spend a penny. Although he would annoy Severus, the other party would cut off Pompianus’s prepared projects.

However, Pompianus can still grasp this, and it is not too exaggerated. It is precisely because of this kind of forced Pompianus learned various strange operational operations. Although it is inevitable that there will be a time to capsize, it has fallen and bumped into the road.

In addition, the silk pricing power was obtained, and the bartering of jade and silk largely gave the Roman finance a lot of money to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, creating considerable profits. In addition, this thing is state-owned, and Pompianus is arranged by himself, so he naturally squeezed out a lot of oil and water from the hands of the domestic tycoons.

In addition, Pompianus's current approach is also considered industrial integration, so what Rome's finances really have to say is much better, and they have an advantage over the period of the Five Sages. After all, silk and jade bartering means made Pompianus withdraw a large amount of money from China, and then used these money to subsidize the state-owned industry.

But Pompianus dared not say a single extra word. If there is no money left in the treasury, he would rather borrow money from a large family in China than leave a copper plate for Seville. That's right, this is Pompianus' policy. If you don't have money, the treasury will be empty!

"What should I do if Your Majesty will give you a bonus next?" Herodian said in a low voice.

"I don't care, the treasury is empty anyway." Pompianus rolled his eyes. In the eyes of Hellodian, the money Severus sent was already enough. If he sent it, it would be a death-like situation, so the treasury didn't have a single copper plate.

"..." Herodian had nothing to say, and couldn't help but sigh and changed the topic, "How is the Kushan talking about?"

"The food, accommodation and food are also included. Each person's food and food are about the same as our regular army in a year, and I am very satisfied with it. Besides, the yellow-haired men shouted to join the war every day and become citizens. I will give them a chance." A smile appeared on Pompianus's face.

Rome finally agreed to send troops. On the one hand, it was its own needs, and on the other hand, it was Kushan's sincerity. Kushan was willing to pay spices and peppers. These things were also luxury goods in Rome, and by the way, these things were basically considered Kushan's monopoly products.

In fact, the Maritime Silk Road can be made, and the Kushan boats can only run from Kushan to the Han Dynasty with all their lives. The main things they make are pepper, spices, silk, and porcelain trade. The two things are basically priced at gold. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the wealth of Kushan.

As for things like grain, Kushan holds the Indus Plain and Ganges Plain in his hand. There is no other food, so it is naturally not a problem.

In addition, Visutva I was a diplomatic expert in history. When the official Sassanthesia rose, this guy formed a long-range alliance with the Kingdom of Armenia. He dragged Ardashir and could not do anything to him. He forced himself to go west. Ardashir did not make a breakthrough into Kushan.

Including the means of taking back Khorasan and Khwarezm when he first took office, Vessutva I was very constructive in both diplomacy and internal affairs. However, compared with the two emperors of Rome and Rest, this guy had a very obvious shortcoming. Vessutva I would not be able to command troops.

However, this was not a big problem in the era of Vesulteva I. Most of the time, all problems can be solved by diplomacy, economy, and its own size.

Just like now, Vesutva I tried to trade with the Roman Empire before ordering Rahul to fight Guan Yu. After a year of diplomatic communication, Kushan finally made Rome excited. One thousand dinari each person first deposited Rome, and went to all the food, clothing and expenses. As long as people were sent, they would directly pay the bill for the next batch.
