A few days later, Xianyang City, Dianke Office

“The envoys of the lower country have met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is the supervisor of the upper country. I pray to His merciful Highness to take pity on the sudden locust plague in the lower country and provide relief to the people of the lower country.”

When Drew, the envoy of Carthage, saw Fusu, he hurriedly bowed to the ground, with a very miserable expression on his face.

“This shameless guy!”

The Roman envoy Bacchus next to him secretly scolded Drew for being shameless, and then he also knelt down.

There was no way, Drew had already saluted like this. If Bacchus was not respectful, he might be used as disrespectful by the Qin people. What should we do if we drive them out?

You know, now they are suffering from all kinds of locust plagues in the country. The harvests in summer and autumn this year are basically ruined. If they don’t buy food back from Daqin quickly, I’m afraid they will really starve.

“Get up, everyone!”

“I already know the situation between your two countries.”

“However, you who came here should also know that the Persian County and Seleucid region of Great Qin were also attacked by the locust plague, and the harvest was greatly reduced. Basically, the grain stored in the treasury has been allocated to disaster relief, so this relief matter, Great Qin I am also powerless.”

Fusu said indifferently.

Rome was Great Qin’s 047 opponent. Although Carthage nominally joined the Great Qin Commercial Alliance, it did not make much contribution to Great Qin except for a little tribute. It is purely whimsical to want relief from Great Qin.

Fusu was not one of those rotten scholars in later generations who specialized in providing benefits to foreign races. His external principles were always extremely hegemonic.

In this world, the only diplomatic truth is power!

The super empires of later generations were so overbearing and domineering, but all countries dared to be angry. I dare not say it. Isn’t it just because the fist is big enough?

The so-called super welfare is completely raised by absorbing the blood and sweat of other countries.

The gap in national power between today’s Great Qin and other countries is even greater than that of later super empires and other countries. Fusu feels I have been kind enough.

To put it bluntly, the food is currently in the hands of Da Qin. If you want the food, you must show enough sincerity.

Buckluo and Drew looked at each other, but did not say anything more.

One did not dare, On the other hand, according to their judgment, although the mainland of Daqin was not affected by the disaster, there should be a surplus in grain production, but after the relief of Persia County and Seleucus, it is indeed impossible to have much left.

The two people quickly put aside their unhappiness. Practical thoughts began to worry.

If Da Qin also had no food, what would they do?

“Please, Your Highness, take pity on my sufferings in Carthage and sell a batch of grain in my Daqin at the market price!”

Drew thought for a moment and quickly spoke before Buckley.

“What time has it been? How can we buy food at the market price? It seems that there is no sincerity at first glance. I, Rome, am willing to add 50% more, as much as I want!”

Buck, who had been robbed, glanced at Drew with a disdainful look. He was secretly calculating in his mind.

According to market principles, the food supply would have skyrocketed at this time. Let alone a 50% increase, it would double or even triple. Doubling is not too much, as long as you can buy it, it is a credit.

And if you can buy up all the food in Qin Dynasty first, leaving Carthage with no food to buy, then Carthage will be hit much deeper than Rome. By then The balance of the battlefield on both sides will be completely broken.

No matter how brave Hannibal’s command is, it is impossible for the soldiers who are short of food to win the battle, not to mention that there are many mercenaries of various races in the Carthage legion.

Once the Carthage If the army is out of food, Rome can buy it with food. By then, the Carthage legion will definitely be in disarray and will no longer be an opponent of the Roman legion.

If Carthage can be captured, it will be worth the cost.

Because Rome can rush in. Before the Suez Canal is opened to navigation, we gain hegemony in the Mediterranean region and gain rare time.

And time is priceless!

It is the last hope for the competition between Rome and Da Qin!

As for money, the most it can do is issue more bonds.

I also want to thank Professor Da Qin This method allowed Rome to easily raise (bacg) money worth tens of millions of dollars in the Qin Dynasty

“Your Highness, the Romans have always liked to be treacherous, and they are the most untrustworthy!”

“I, Carthage, am the ally of Great Qin!”

“Although Carthage is indeed in difficulty at the moment, in order to show respect for the Qin Dynasty, no matter how much money Rome pays, I, Carthage, are willing to pay the same price!”

“Please, Your Highness, sell grain to Carthage and don’t be fooled by the Romans!”

Dru, the envoy of Carthage, said anxiously.

This food is usually inconspicuous and far less valuable than glazed tea. But when the locust plague comes and the treasury is empty, it becomes the straw that can kill people!

Without food, Carthaginian Taiji will definitely be severely damaged.

You know, Carthage does not have a complete grain storage mechanism like Great Qin. All the grain storages combined can only last for three months at most.

After three months, in addition to the nobles with sufficient accumulation, Most of the civilians are afraid of starving to death.

And once the ground is full of hunger, it will be impossible to prevent chaos.

As for asking the nobles to donate food, Drew doesn’t even dare to think about it.

That would be harder than defeating the Romans.

“There is indeed some old grain stored in Da Qin’s treasury, but……”(If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Fusu deliberately betrayed him.

“May I ask Your Highness, how much is this batch of grain?”

Bacchus and Drew were overjoyed.

It doesn’t matter if it’s old or not, as long as it’s available.

The most important thing now is quantity.[]

“The specific statistics are still being calculated, but it should not be more than 30 million stone! Fusu said calmly.

Bacchus and Drew suddenly became even more happy.

Both countries now only have a few million people left, and 30 million stones of food are enough for the two countries to barely support themselves for a few months.

But the premise is Monopoly, if shared, is not enough.

“Your Highness, I, Carthage, am willing to pay three times the market price!”

“I, Rome, am willing to pay four times as much!”

“Five times!”

The two people competed with each other, and finally came up with a data that stunned all the officials of the Dian Ke Office present: ten times the market price!

You know, the market price in Daqin, even if it is���According to one coin and one stone, ten times it is ten coins.

Thirty million shi of grain is equivalent to thirty million yuan, of which more than 95% is profit.

This data, even if Da Qin’s business continues to take off, is very profitable.

Then think of the amount of grain that the treasuries of all states, counties, and counties in Da Qin are now unable to store.

All the officials from the Dian Ke Office couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

I admire Fusu even more.

Because if it weren’t for Fusu, Da Qin would have to deal with the lack of food after the natural disaster.

How could there be today’s situation?

In this comparison, it is so happy to be born in Daqin!

However, the next moment, Fusu’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations..
