Before Xin Xianying was promised to Guo Jin, Xin Pi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, often made jokes in the court and called him the Minister of White Ban.

The Shangshu, who did not have any power, had only a high position, but actually had no power in his hands. He was empty and clear-water yamen and could not get anything.

Earlier, the Western Regions had troubled them, but now all the Western Regions were gone, and the empty diplomatic compound was left with the envoys from the Kushan Kingdom and the Sleep Kingdom.

But it’s true that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing, and having a shell is a good thing.

Those who have political ideals and ambitions do not come. Those who come are all salted fish, they are not elites, and they cannot make money. They can only live with their salary honestly.

Therefore, at least the political storm in recent years has not been involved in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Every political storm in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has escaped unscathed, which is very safe.

Of course, people with ideals will definitely look down on this stagnant yamen and think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is particularly unmarked.

Many people also submitted a letter to Guo Peng, hoping that Guo Peng would simply demote the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and transfer it back to the Honglu Temple. Don’t take up a position there and have no place yet.

What kind of diplomacy does the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire need? Everyone should be our vassal state.

Guo Peng has never responded to this, but he has always maintained the regulations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and did not allow the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to disappear.

Xinpi himself was a surrendered minister, but his brother Xin Ping was close to Yuan Cong's origin - the old subordinate of the Supreme Emperor. Later, he followed His Majesty today, with deep qualifications and very clean himself.

With these advantages, I have been sitting down on the whiteboard for many years, and the gods will live up to the hard work and finally bear fruit.

Xin Pi's daughter Xin Xianying was elected as the concubine of the crown prince. When she went to the crown prince to serve the crown prince, she was equivalent to booking a future for Xin.

This power can continue until the next generation of emperors ascend to the throne.

How many people are now red with their eyes and want to find Xin's way, but their faces are as red as Shan Monkey's bare butt.

Zhang Liao didn't expect Guo Peng to let Xin Pi walk with him. Now he figured it out and realized that Guo Peng arranged for him to walk with Xin Pi to give him a chance to have a good relationship with Xin Pila?

Your Majesty trusts me!

Give me a future!

Such thoughts permeated Zhang Liao's heart, making his dry heart feel as if it was moistened by a hot spring, and it was very warm.

He saw his future and his own wonderful future.

So he tried hard to get along with Xinpi, and was courteous to Xinpi everywhere, trying to find topics to chat with him, talk about life and ideals.

After more than two months of being drifted on the sea, Zhang Liao, the only person who can chat with Xinpi is relatively good. Zhe is a unique and good opportunity that many people can't even imagine if their eyes are red.

So as the two middle-aged and elderly men drifted on the sea for more than two months, the hearts of the two middle-aged and elderly men gradually got closer.

They talk about the past, the present, the future, the experience of childhood growth, their choices and situations when the turbulent storms in the late Han Dynasty, and their feelings as high-ranking generals.

Perhaps the common experience of being surrendered ministers made Xinpi somewhat tolerant of Zhang Liao's identity. Before Rome, the two were already versatile, and after Rome, the relationship was even more harmonious.

This time, Zhang Liao also agreed with Xinpi's idea and agreed with Xinpi's idea and planned to do his best to help him so that he could feel fulfilled.

The two reached a consensus on this matter and decided to do this and then put it into practice.

After the decision, Xinpi and Zhang Liao decided to rest.

But at this moment, Wang Wei stopped the two of them from going to rest with an inexplicable smile.

"General, the ministry, Emperor Lou Mo was a little unhappy considering that we came from afar and there was no woman around us to take care of him, so he was a little unhappy, so..."

Wang Wei didn't continue to say anything, but his expression already represented everything.

That expression is an expression that any normal man can immediately understand after a glance. The curve of the corners of his mouth and the message conveyed by his eyebrows and eyes is not necessary to explain at all. Just look at it and you will understand immediately.

It can be said that it is a tacit thing for normal men.

Of course, Zhang Liao and Xin Pi are also normal men. They have no strange hobbies and ideas, and have no feelings about the Long Yang habits of some of the high-ranking officials and nobles they have heard of, so they all realize something.

It is not allowed to take women on ocean-going ships. This is the emperor's rule, so no matter how uncomfortable it is, you can only hold it in, or find a way to solve it yourself.

Although Zhang Liao and Xinpi are not young and have weakened their desires, they are still normal men after all.

It would be fine if it didn't release it for so long. Yuanyang Laodun felt that he was tired and felt that he was not deep. When he asked, the two of them suddenly felt that there was an evil fire burning in their belly.

Zhang Liao's expression became a little wrong.

"General Wang, it seems that you have a lot of experience?"

"fine."

"How about Lou Mo's woman?"

"The figure is charming, charming, and the limbs are strong. It feels very different from the women in the Central Plains. Please don't be polite, General."

Wang Wei said it very tactfully.

Xinpi is a scholar and is embarrassed to interrupt, but when he sees two soldiers talking about this issue calmly, he is also itchy.

After the verbal conversation, the practical stage entered. Xinpi and Zhang Liao saw dozens of palace maids to be selected prepared for them by Emperor Karakara, and their eyes were green.

Each of them looks very different from that of women in the Central Plains. Their skin is white or brown, and they are a little dark, but without exception, they are all charming and beautiful in appearance, especially their breasts are very large and full, which makes people feel very satisfied.

Moreover, they stared at Zhang Liao and Xin Pi without any sense of shame, their eyes were as charming as if they could attract people's souls.

Zhang Liao and Xinpi swallowed their saliva, and suddenly felt dry and dry.

"These?"

Zhang Liao looked at Wang Wei.

"Even though it's a choice, whether it's one person or two, it doesn't matter more. Of course, I would like to recommend that the general and the ministry consider their health, and restrain themselves a little, and don't go too far. We still have some serious things to do."

As a veteran, Wang Wei is already familiar with all this.

Over the past few months, Wang Wei has felt the taste of many women of different skin colors and appearances in advance, and has a strong say in this.

With the dry mouth of Zhang Liao and Xinpi, they decided to choose the woman they wanted to choose. The ones who were selected were very happy and followed them, while the ones who were not selected were a little disappointed and retreated helplessly.

His Majesty the Emperor has a great reward for serving these distinguished guests from afar.

And if you are lucky and can be taken away and live in that mysterious, rich and powerful country, you may be able to live a little better than you are now.

Those who are selected will have that opportunity, so they will inevitably use all their abilities to make these two distinguished guests feel at home.

Wang Wei didn't choose.

Emperor Karakala gave three high-looking palace maids to serve as concubines. A few days ago, he had a little too much fun and his back was a little sore. He planned to take good care of his body these days and no longer indulge him.

After all, he is not a young man anymore. If he is too indulgent, he will be embarrassing to get up and not be able to get out of bed.

Zhang Liao and Xin Pi were both in their forties and could not be considered young people in this era. They were all grandfathers in Wei. Logically speaking, they should be respected.

But at this moment, the two of them felt a bit crazy about talking about a young man, and they felt that they were very powerful and invincible.

Facing the exotic demon girl, she was so fierce that she wanted to let them see the fierce spirit of Yan and Huang immediately. She didn't have much rest all night. She thought she was very tired, but she was unexpectedly full of energy.

So the next day, Zhang Liao and Xinpi both got up late.

It was Wang Wei who received the first wave of guests who came to visit on their behalf.

Afterwards, the three agreed that Zhang Liao would go to contact local forces, and Xinpi would go to contact Emperor Karakara. Both sides did not leave behind and explained the problem clearly.

In the seller's market, the initiative should be in the hands of the seller, not the buyer. The previous initiative was a false initiative, and they did not need it.

They want to return the false initiative to Rome, get real initiative, and watch the changes in the world.

So the offensive and defensive exchanges were exchanged, and the real diplomatic mediation began.

Zhang Liao and Xin Pi seemed to give up their dominance, but in fact, this is the act of taking dominance into their hands, because the core of trade - goods - are in the hands of the Wei people.

The contact between Zhang Liao and local forces was accompanied by Wang Wei, and the two sides discussed some very specific issues.

Zhang Liao said that merchant ships of the Wei Empire would dock in Egypt and must dock in Egypt. They could not dock in other places, nor could they go to other places.

Without relying on the Nile River and the Port of Alexandria in Egypt, the goods of the Wei Empire could not enter the Mediterranean.

How can I sell it to all parts of the empire?

This is the most beneficial and lowest cost way for Wei State, and there is no change.

Since Egypt is directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Karakara, it is impossible to bypass Emperor Karakara to resolve the problem. They must reach an agreement with Emperor Karakara and then discuss this matter with the Wei Empire.

Otherwise, Emperor Karakara would kill high tariffs and the trade costs of the Wei Empire would greatly increase, so it would be better not to come.

Zhang Liao and Xinpi know how much the ocean fleet consumes.

Especially the tea bricks sold in the Wei Empire, which were as expensive as gold, and those that were sold in the country and outside, were offered to them for drinking like money.

If such a large cost expenditure cannot make more, the ocean trade will have no meaning to the Wei Empire and no meaning to His Majesty, right?

Unless you can persuade Emperor Karakara to reduce tariffs, the less the better, the less, the more goods we come, and it is best not to charge tariffs at all.

Local forces felt that Zhang Liao’s concerns did not exist. If the emperor could not be dealt with, the goods from the Wei Empire would not come at all. So what else would they make?

The questions raised by the Wei Empire made sense, and they decided to hold a meeting to discuss the issues in this regard.

On the other hand, Sinpi also found Emperor Karakara, and with the help of a powerful translation team, he discussed this issue in depth with Emperor Karakara.

He emphasized that their goods must have chosen to land in Egypt, and there is no need to worry about this, but can Egypt alone, including the city of Rome, consume their huge amount of goods?

They would carry a very huge amount of goods - the ten years of peace in Yande restored all aspects of Wei to the peak of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even more than that.

It takes time to drive domestic demand. The output of luxury goods and handmade industrial products of the Wei Empire has become too strong. Losing Rome, an important external market, will be a big blow to the Wei Empire's industries.

Therefore, shipments must be maintained to a certain level, otherwise many industries will face the problem of elimination and reduction in scale.

Xinpi said that many people, including Wang Wei, have asked him about this issue, and other local forces have also contacted him and told him about the secrets, so he asked Emperor Karakara a very serious question.

If Emperor Karakara wants to monopolize this part of the interests alone, can it really ensure that the local forces in the empire do not interfere with it and use despicable and dark means to damage the commercial interests of the Wei Empire and the emperor himself?

For example, sending people to play bandits and pirates, robbing halfway, or destroying roads and destroying ports. Various methods can affect the sales of goods from the Wei Empire within the empire.

This not only harmed the commercial interests of the Wei Empire, but also harmed the interests of the emperor himself.

Once such a thing happens, can the emperor completely solve it and safeguard the interests of the Wei Empire?
