If a person is too stupid, even if he has a good family background and background, it is absolutely difficult to sit firmly in a high position, and even the higher he sits, the worse the end will definitely be.
Wang Meng did not hide his good impression of Julian at all, and even after being arranged to rest in the manor, he ordered someone to send a few boxes to Julian's manor, which suddenly let those dignitaries and nobles who always paid attention to the movements of the Han envoys know one thing, that is, Julian did not know what he did to get the friendship of the Han envoys.
At this moment, Julian was extremely troubled, not because Wang Meng sent two boxes of silk and Shu brocade, nor because of the set of exquisite porcelain and the jar of dried grass leaves and tea that smelled strange, but because there were too many people who sent invitations and visited the door.
"Silk, oh, yes, silk was delivered."
With a reluctant smile on his face, Julian was half-lying on a chaise longue full of Roman characteristics, half-leaning over the grapes under the service of the female slave, and swallowed before he continued: "There are twenty horses of silk in total.
There is also a kind of cloth with soft and bright colors, which is said to be called Shu brocade, which is specially produced in the southwestern territory of the Han Empire, and the price is higher than silk. ” The Romans were at least Roman nobles, and they were very particular about receiving guests, and they needed to hold a special ball, indispensable for some scantily clad dancers and prostitutes, and also arranged for the presence of female 1 slave and male 1 slave, and when the interest came, there was no need to drag the object of mating to another room, just need to find a place to put on a mask, and then the hey opened on the spot.
It is normal to arrange female 1 slave, and male 1 slave exists to serve female guests.
At the same time, some particularly fetish male aristocrats also like to mate with male 1 slaves, or the kind that is both offensive and defensive.
Copulation in public is not a shameful thing in the eyes of the Romans, that is, the staying power can not be too short, some nobles like to show off their durability in front of the public, if the staying power is short, no one wants to lose that face, the result is that aphrodisiac pills are very marketable in the aristocratic circle of Rome, and every year there are so many nobles because of the absurdity of taking 1 aphrodisiac pills and indulging in excessive desires.
Julian also did the thing of mating with female 1 slave in public, it should be said that every male nobleman in Rome had the same experience, they really regarded this as a normal thing, even if the male nobleman brought his wife to the banquet, he also copulated with the female 1 slave as usual, and even the wife of the male nobleman was allowed to have a mating with the male 1 slave, but it was not allowed to shoot inside.
It's ridiculous If it was a hundred or two hundred years earlier, it was indeed both absurd and humiliating for a noble woman to mate with a male slave, the problem was that since Rome had solved the Parthian Empire, it had robbed the wealth of the huge Parthian Empire, and finally solved the enemies that had been fighting for hundreds of years, and everyone had swelled.
There are no deadly foreign enemies, and all of a sudden they are so rich, the wind of pleasure must prevail, and if you don't change the way to have fun, you can naturally come as much as you want.
It has to be said that Zhuxia's side is actually not much better, even if etiquette, righteousness and shame have been deeply rooted in the national thought, but don't think that you are really conservative in terms of sex.
In the ancient pre-Qin period, the emphasis was on sex 1 openness, when men and women loved, no matter where they could come, the reason why Confucius was able to come into the world was that his father and mother came to the field with interest, his father was already dying of old age, but his mother was very young, that was a love that ignored the age gap.
In the era when Zhou Li was extremely emphasized, men and women can come to a hair anytime and anywhere as long as they are happy with each other, the interesting thing is that no matter what class of people think that is very correct, it is related to the truth of the road of humanity, and whoever blocks it is inhumane, but men and women who want to come to it don't want to have an audience at all.
Copulation is a unique taste of the aristocracy, and unobstructed conventions were very popular in aristocratic circles for a while, but their mating partner was never their own wife, usually a maid or maid.
At the same time, as men, they themselves can indulge, but their wives have to be guarded, unlike the Romans.
Later, there are more and more restrictions on women on Zhuxia's side, men can still indulge whether they are married or unmarried, and women can only have a fight with the object they like before they get married, but if they get married, women will only have their own husbands.
In terms of carnal desire, today's Rome and Han are very open, the difference is that the openness of Rome does not limit the level of men and women and status, and the higher the status of the Han side, the more self-controlled.
In the folk of the Han Kingdom, the current right of mating is in the hands of women, that is to say, unmarried women want to come as much as they want, and they are not indoctrinated by anyone to return to their natural nature, but since ancient times.
The real situation is that from the pre-Qin period to the two Jin dynasties, that layer of membrane was not deliberately valued, especially the women of the Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties were the most casual.
The most special example is Liu Bang's official wife, Lu Pheasant's sister Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao stepped on two boats brightly, while dealing with Lu Xuan, she did not delay and the strong Fan Xue got pleasure physically, and then it was Lu Pheasant who made a decision to end this love triangle, and Lu Pheasant asked Lu Xiao to quickly choose one person as her husband.
At that time, Fan Xu and Lu Juan were Liu Bang's left and right arms, and there was not much difference between the identities of the two men, and the husband chosen by Lu Xiao was Fan Xu, who could get more pleasure from the flesh.
Women are so open, men can stand the elder brother, that is not to say that women are suddenly so open, it is that they have been so open since ancient times, it can only be said that the growth environment has made everyone accustomed to it, and I don't feel that there is anything wrong at all.
Since I don't think there's anything wrong, that's a normal thing, isn't it?
Therefore, it is normal for Roman men and women to like to mate in public, but the guests who come to Julian's side are not interested in it now, and they are now more concerned about profit than carnal desires.
Blind Julian specially spent a lot of money to invite the group of dancers, any of them were the number one in Constantinople, and the appearance fee was at least two gold coins, and the most expensive one even cost ten gold coins.
Women are dancers and family female slaves, and the source of male slaves is some family that trains gladiators.
They were dressed unusually glamorously, they deliberately wore bracers and combat boots, iron plates were tied to their calves, they wore a pair of briefs, their crotch was bulging, and they were covered in streamlined tendon flesh, which was smeared with olive oil to show the masculinity of a strong man.
Now there will be people's eyes on the dancing girl, female 1 slave and male 1 slave, but it is also habitually appreciated, even if you want to do something you love to do, it is not now.
Since the crowd did not have that carnal appetite, Julian could only work on food, and according to the custom of the Roman aristocracy, he must be at home in terms of supplies.
The food of the Romans was still very abundant, which was directly related to the territory they occupied, especially the vast territory of Rome, and the distribution of time zones was even wider.
Their greatest pride is that the north of the empire is cold, but the south of the empire is extremely hot, the wheat fields in the east have just been harvested, and the new seedlings in the west have just been planted.
Julian is not a person who likes to show off, and under the enthusiasm of all the guests, he still has to take out silk and Shu brocade to display.
The Romans were no strangers to silk, they had access to silk hundreds of years ago, but the quantity was too small, but the price was extremely amazing.
The Romans in the early days didn't know who made the silk, and the silk they got didn't know if it had been sold several times, and everyone was stacking profits, so it didn't become shockingly expensive.
There is a saying that I don't know if it's a joke, the reason why the Romans fought with the Persians was that the Romans finally knew one day that silk came from a country farther east than the Persians, and the good thing was that the Persians actually cut off the trade route so that the silk could not be sold to Rome, and for the sake of silk the Romans shouted "just do it", and the war was fought for hundreds of years.
The Persians did not think of cutting off the silk trade, they were able to make huge profits from it, and the more silk they resold, the more they made money, and when something went wrong, they cut off the trade.
In fact, the Persians carried the black pot for the Huns, and they also knew that they had carried the pot, and once gritted their teeth and wanted to participate in the war against the Huns.
However, before the Persians could take action, there was a roar from afar, "although the strong man is far away, he will be punished", and Chen Tang led the younger brothers of the Western Regions to solve the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yuzhi on the Silk Road.
The Zhizhi Shan of the Northern Xiongnu was killed, and there was a cheer, and the countries that crossed the Silk Road were finally able to count their money happily.
This is also the case, otherwise even if Chen Tang can borrow troops from various countries, in view of the prestige of the Western Han Empire, countries will not dare not borrow, the problem is that they will never smash the pot and sell iron to obey orders regardless of the cost, everything is based on their desire to kill Zhizhi, so that they can happily continue to collect silk tolls.
The Persians knew that when the Silk Road was reopened, the whole country cheered, that is, the reopening of the Silk Road was really too late for Parthia.
At that time, the breakdown of the Silk Road and the impact of the Parthian Empire were extremely fatal, that is, they could no longer obtain monstrous wealth from the Silk Road, the national finances were in a state of bankruptcy, no one could be happy without money, and the internal contradictions would be infinitely magnified, and the central government became a backstabber, not only the Romans screamed and wanted to die, but the major Persian nobles inside were also looking forward to the end of the dynasty as soon as possible, and then the Parthian Empire collapsed.

At the current stage of history, due to the barbarian invasion on the Zhuxia side, the Silk Road was actually cut off for a long time.
That is, whether the Persians, the Romans, or whatever, they had not acquired new silk for a long time.
To tell a joke, Wang Meng and the other Han people came to Constantinople, and they could see some Romans wearing silk, the robe made of silk, which may be older than the wearer, was worn by the father's grandfather's father, and it was preserved from generation to generation.
There is only one reason why those Romans who have collections are willing to take it out now, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I don't know how many elderly Romans will never forget to get a new one at the moment of death, and the things that they have been looking forward to for generations have become a reality, and it is even more exaggerated that the people who produce silk came to Rome in person.
At this time, they can buy as much silk as they want, which must be enough for the contemporary Romans to burn and send their ancestors over Silk and brocade were hung on the shelves for display, and the guests watched with the same eyes as they looked at their first love, and suddenly found that the brocade was more gorgeous, and the silk was dull in comparison.
For no other reason, the silk is still smooth, and when it is illuminated by the strong light, you can still see the halo of love, but the special Shu brocade is so radiant in the strong light that it almost blinds everyone's dog eyes.
"Oh mom, hey, hey, I'm dripping mom" "Eyes, I drop eyes" "Blind, Blind" At this moment, please use the Northeast dialect, Shandong dialect, and Henan dialect to read from top to bottom.
Shu brocade is actually a general name, its history is surprisingly long, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period and even earlier has appeared, and the style and manufacturing methods are also more frightening, should be regarded as the most gorgeous one of the various cloth crafts in Zhuxia, from the manufacturing process to the way of processing the gorgeous.
The Shu brocade carried by Wang Meng was actually produced in Linzi, and the only goal he brought over was to blind the eyes of the Romans, so it was a customized style, and it was so gorgeous that it came.
Julian's retainers are very picky, and they choose the one with a large number of silver threads embroidered with the pattern of the divine beast on the shelf, and I don't know if it is a spoof and also got a gilded bell, which can not only blind the eyes of the Romans, but also think about the pleasant sound of the bell when the wind blows the Shu brocade hanging on the shelf.
The divine beast is really a divine beast, it is a unicorn that Zhuxia thinks is auspicious, because it is a silver thread, it looks like a silver shining unicorn, and there are fiery red patterns around it, it looks like a silver unicorn in the fire.
There are many bells, and the ones used to ring and make a sound are pearls.
Numerous bells form a golden crow pattern, and the result is that the overall pattern on the Shu brocade looks like a golden crow burning a silver unicorn.
After the exclamation, the garden was filled with heavy gasps, and everyone stared wide-eyed, and everyone's eyes were full of longing for their own.
"Five thousand gold coins, it will belong to the Cassius family" "Foolish dreams, it's more than five thousand gold coins on it." "20,000 Gold Coins" "Get out of the way, I'll give you fifty thousand gold coins, and it will be stored in the Maxim family" The guests themselves bid loudly and hurled insults, and Julian had no chance to speak at all.
At this moment, he wanted to know what kind of gifts Wang Meng had given, and how many were similar to the one in front of him
