Chapter 454 A Flock of Fat Sheep Delivered to Your Door
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, come to the Dianke Office to meet me!"
Just as the Macedonian and Ptolemy Egyptian envoys were frowning and thinking about how to build a good relationship with Daqin, a small country envoy suddenly rushed up excitedly and cheered happily.
The envoys of the two countries were immediately overjoyed. Isn't this a perfect opportunity when the pillow comes when you are dozing off?
Nowadays, who doesn't know that His Majesty the First Emperor has great trust in His Royal Highness, and the affairs of the Western Regions are completely entrusted to His Royal Highness Ying Yu. It is said that he once planned to abdicate in advance, but was rejected by His Royal Highness.
If you want to negotiate with Daqin, you must look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It's just that the Crown Prince of Great Qin is aloof, and it is extremely difficult for these envoys to ask for a meeting. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has appeared in the Dianke Office now.
The excited two began to think about how to gain Ying Yu's favor, and promised Macedonia and Ptolemy Egypt to follow Seleucus and merge into the Great Qin.
Yet someone is faster than them.
The Seleucid envoy Patra, who had been talking loudly before, dropped the cup directly and rushed out the door. The rest of the people who watched were dumbfounded.
Immediately, they all ran after each other.
There is no way, the current Daqin is too powerful, and the gap is so big that it is beyond the reach of all countries.
Especially those envoys who have been stationed in Xianyang for a long time have a deep understanding of the rapid development of Daqin, and they are all shocked by themselves.
I am even more envious of the better and better days of the people of Daqin.
With the current development of Daqin, abundant commodities, various employment opportunities, and comprehensive security system from medical care to education, even the nobles in various countries are far behind.
Even King Seleucid didn't want to go back to Antioch after seeing the prosperity of Xianyang City, so he just stayed in Xianyang City for a long time, and became tea friends with King Tuan, traveling around the mountains and water all day long. It was a very comfortable life.
Countries have changed from being afraid that Daqin would attack them to fearing that Daqin would look down on them, places outside the region.
Therefore, the goal pursued by the envoys has also become how to peacefully integrate into the Great Qin and strive for more benefits for the country's dignitaries.
Even the Roman envoys, after a long time of change, turned into a wry smile.
Thousands of miles away in China, they are still dreaming of solving their opponents as soon as possible before the opening of the Daqin Suez Canal, and gathering the power of the entire Mediterranean region to block Daqin's pace.
But after staying in Xianyang City for a long time, they became more and more desperate.
They even have a feeling that the slow progress of the Suez Canal is entirely due to Daqin's intention.
If Daqin is really in a hurry to open it, it only needs to transport a large part of the machines that can dig through mountains to Ptolemaic Egypt. The progress of the Suez Canal project will definitely be accelerated several times or even more than ten times.
This time, the reason why Rome applied to Daqin for assistance in building the railway was actually the root cause of wanting to steal Daqin's advanced technology.
From the perspective of the Roman Senate, although Daqin's technology was advanced, the Romans were also very smart. As long as they could get the train to Rome, the Romans would have a way to disassemble it and get Daqin's advanced technology.
Once there is such a magical machine, the level of Rome will be greatly improved, quickly destroy the deadly enemy Carthage, and catch up with the level of Great Qin in a short period of time.
Although several Roman envoys felt that the country was a bit whimsical, their mission forced them to try their best.
After all, there is still hope if you try it. If you don’t try it, there must be no hope at all.
After looking at each other again, several Roman envoys looked at the empty hall and followed suit.
They didn't dare to act disrespectfully in front of His Highness the Great Qin Crown Prince.
......
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. I wish His Highness a long life and a prosperous Qin Dynasty."
In the welcoming hall of the Dianke Office, a group of envoys stationed in Daqin from various countries respectfully walked towards Ying Yu in the way of Daqin etiquette.
"Free gift!"
"The prince came here this time because he heard that various countries intend to buy the shares of the Daqin Railway Company. Is this true?"
Ying Yu smiled and waved his hands.
At the moment of business, he doesn't mind giving these envoys a little etiquette to show the image of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Indeed!"
"I would like to inform Your Highness that Ptolemy Egypt and Macedonia are very interested in Daqin's railway stocks, and I hope that Shangguo will consider extending the Persian Railway to Ptolemy Egypt. After the canal is opened, it will be expanded to Macedonia."
Ptolemy's Egyptian and Macedonian envoys hurriedly stepped forward and saluted again.
"There is also the country of Rome, which also sincerely asks Daqin to help us build a railway in Rome, so as to better promote the sales of goods from the country in Rome."
The Roman mission also followed suit.
"But the railway is a technology that my Daqin is now strictly keeping secret, and it is strictly forbidden to be built outside the Daqin."
"And even if we can obtain external permission, according to our current strength, it will not be easy to complete the several railways approved by the Pakistani Economic and Trade Commission, and there will be no more manpower to repair railways thousands of miles away."
A hint of "difficulty" appeared on Ying Yu's face.
Several envoys exchanged glances, and soon there was a hint of surprise.
In order to build a good relationship with Da Qin, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources on Ying Yu.
Therefore, he also has some understanding of Ying Yu's character.
Therefore, they all understand that the so-called not being able to communicate with the public is actually a matter of price.
Otherwise, I will not add a possibility later.
This shows that there is a lot of room for manipulation.
"As long as Your Highness agrees to help Rome build the railway, the technology transfer fee is completely negotiable."
"The problem of insufficient manpower is also easy to deal with. Although the population of Rome is far less than that of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is still possible to gather hundreds of thousands of people to repair the railway."
The head of the Roman envoy jumped out excitedly and said loudly.
"His Royal Highness, if you want to build the railway, you must first consider me, Ptolemy Egypt!"
"If the railway can be repaired as soon as possible, the transportation of materials in Daqin will be more convenient, and the canal can be opened to navigation earlier!"
Ptolemy's Egyptian envoy immediately said anxiously.
The Macedonian envoy on the side hesitated for a long time, but still did not speak.
No way, Ptolemy Egypt and Persian County are connected by land, while Macedonia is on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, and the current shipping power in the Mediterranean Sea is mainly owned by the Romans.
It is basically impossible to ask the Romans to help Macedonia transport railway repair materials.
If it weren't for Qin Tianwei, the Romans would still be attacking Macedonia.
As for the other small countries, although they are also envious of the great role of the railway, but they are too poor in the country, so they can only look at it with envy.
However, they were also looking at Ying Yu eagerly, hoping that the crown prince would show mercy so that they could also enjoy the many benefits of Great Qin.
After all, there is a living example of Tuan in front of him.
Today's Tu'an has only been merged into the Great Qin for a few years, but its economic level has increased several times. The people in Tu'an who were originally in distress have also lived a good life, and they are deeply proud of being a part of the Great Qin.
But they don't know, they are simply thinking too much.
If it were replaced by the previous group of Confucian Dianke officials, they might still take advantage of Daqin.
However, in Ying Yu's eyes, they are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
