"Envoys from the lower country pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ptolemaic Egypt agreed to all the conditions proposed by Da Qin, was willing to pay tribute to Da Qin, and obeyed the command of Da Qin's generals!"

Compared with the first meeting, Ptolemy V's attitude was much more respectful. As soon as he saw Fusu, he fell to the ground and made a big salute.

"That's pretty much it! Fusu nodded slightly, glanced at Perseus and Sura beside him and said:

"What about Macedonia and Carthage?"

Perseus and Sulla looked at each other, secretly cursing Ptolemy V for being unreliable.

This guy is indeed a super weakling. He hooked up with the Romans before, and now he doesn't even say hello. Without fighting, they directly agreed to all Da Qin's demands, forcing the two countries into an extremely embarrassing position.

The scene fell silent for a while.

"Your Highness, Macedonia is willing to become a vassal of Great Qin!"

After a long time, Perseus gritted his teeth and said.

He was also secretly making a small calculation in his heart. Anyway, it is not that easy for the Qin Dynasty to complete the construction of the Mediterranean fleet. Before obtaining the Mediterranean sea power from the Romans, the Qin Dynasty had no plans for the Kingdom of Macedonia. Control is just a name at best.

On the contrary, joining the Great Qin Allied Forces can force all the pressure to deal with the Romans on the Great Qin side, and the Macedonian Kingdom can take the opportunity to get a chance to breathe. Maybe it can also take advantage of this rare window period, After defeating all the city-states in the Greek region, no matter how it develops in the future, having more territory is not a bad thing.

Fusu smiled faintly.

He could guess most of Perseus' little abacus without asking. It was just superficial. Submit, hold the banner of Qin to intimidate the Romans, and take advantage of the opportunity to gain a window of development.

When the Suez Grand Canal starts construction, I believe that the expression of Ptolemy V will be quite exciting.

"Yes, but the Kingdom of Macedonia needs an additional 500,000 young and strong laborers."

Fusu waved his hand and said

"no problem!"

Perseus didn't think much about it. Judging from the news coming back from the country, Great Qin is currently carrying out construction in Persia County, and several ports are planned.

Perseus hopes that Great Qin will develop more internal affairs so that the Kingdom of Macedonia can How many years of breathing time can there be?

Fusu immediately set his sights on the last one, Sulla, the financial officer of the Kingdom of Carthage.

"Your Highness, although Consul Sufit is very willing to cooperate with Great Qin, he still needs more time to convince the entire Senate. Please give the Kingdom of Carthage a little more time."

"Carthage is willing to send 50,000 catties of gold and 100,000 slaves to show its sincerity!"

Fusu secretly sneered in his heart.

What can't be done with the Senate? It's obviously that Carthage is the farthest away from the Qin Dynasty, and it is temporarily beyond the reach of the Qin Dynasty.

And compared with Macedonia and Ptolemaic Egypt, which have repeatedly fought, Carthage Relying on the efforts of the famous general Hannibal, at least in the past ten years, the kingdom has had more victories than defeats against the Romans, and has regained a lot of territory from the Romans.

In this case, the nobles of Carthage, It is impossible for countries like Macedonia and other countries, which are facing the test of life and death, to succumb.

The so-called sincerity is just for fear of completely angering the Qin Dynasty, so as to retain the last hope for help in the event that Hannibal is defeated.

However, this situation, for the Qin Dynasty, , is actually a good thing.

Both the Romans and the Carthaginians are ambitious people, and they both attach great importance to sea power.

Let the two countries fight longer and wear each other out more, The situation in the Mediterranean can also be more balanced, and Da Qin, the fisherman and referee, can also obtain more benefits from both sides.

And in a few years at most, after the Suez Canal is opened, the powerful Da Qin fleet will make these two countries understand What is truth and justice

"Your country's system is indeed quite special. I can give you a little more time to think about it, but the tribute must be doubled, one hundred thousand catties of gold and two hundred thousand slaves!"

"Moreover, your country must first join the Great Qin Business Alliance to ensure the freedom and absolute safety of trade for Great Qin merchants in your country!"

Fusu pretended to think for a long time, then showed a reluctant expression and said

"This is absolutely no problem, please rest assured, Your Highness! Sulla breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly promised.

Nowadays, Daqin's products are extremely popular in Carthage. Both silk and tea are regarded as fashionable by the nobles, especially colored glaze, which has become a show off for the nobles. A symbol of family background.

In this case, how could Sulla, a financial officer, be so stupid as to refuse the request to trade with the Qin Dynasty.

Anyway, if the merchants of the Qin Dynasty can reach Carthage, they will definitely become the guests of the nobles. It is too late to please them. How is it possible? Will they go after the Qin merchants?

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became harmonious. After a while of polite greetings, Perseus and Sulla resigned first, leaving only Ptolemy V.

Of course, before leaving, Before, Perseus and Sulla secretly glanced at Ptolemy V with angry eyes.

If it hadn't been for this guy's traitorous behavior, they wouldn't have been forced into such a situation today and had to pay so much extra. The price.

Especially for Sulla, with these 100,000 kilograms of gold and 200,000 slaves, even a wealthy kingdom like Carthage would have to bleed a lot.

If it weren't for the prospect of unlimited profits from trade, Sulla would really I have no confidence that I can dig out so much money from those greedy nobles who are like misers.

"How are you thinking about it?"

Fusu ignored the thoughts of Perseus and Sura who had left, but looked at Ptolemy V and said

"I would like to inform Your Highness, after the canal is opened, can it provide some navigation benefits to the country below? Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the country."

Ptolemy V said cautiously.

Although his character is a bit cowardly, he is the heir to the throne who has been vigorously cultivated since childhood. Ptolemy V still has a certain vision.

Once the Grand Canal is opened, the benefits will definitely be incredible. figures.

And with part of the proceeds, he can forcibly suppress the voice of domestic dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, it is estimated that the domestic situation, which was originally unstable because of Ptolemy IV, is really going to be in chaos.

"Yes, but Da Qin wants to occupy the majority! Fusu waved his hand and said.

For this Suez Canal project, Daqin, in addition to providing plans and guidance, all the specific construction and expenses were paid for by Ptolemaic Egypt. It is reasonable to give some profit dividends.

Only It only needs to ensure that Da Qin has absolute control over the canal.

And after the canal is opened, Da Qin will be able to capture even the Mediterranean. Can a mere Ptolemaic Egypt escape Da Qin's grasp?

"Thank you, Your Highness, Ptolemaic Egypt, willing to become the most loyal subject of Da Qin!"

Ptolemy V was overjoyed and said, but he didn't see the cold light in Fusu's eyes.

What kind of subordinates can truly integrate into the Qin Dynasty?
