186 Glass is a weapon!

Chu Tianxiu carefully asked the old white man, the situation of the Roman Republic and Christianity, and the war between Rome and Macedonia.

There are also the customs and customs along the way to Da Chu, the situations of the countries in the Western Regions and the Huns.

Anthony was frightened.

He didn't know why this marquis knew almost everything.

He didn't dare not answer or brag, but he looked extremely sad.

"When I fled Rome, the Roman consul was leading an army of 15,000 people and a legion of two thousand cavalry, and was launching a third expedition against the 30,000 army of Macedonia."

Anthony Daw.

Chu Tianxiu laughed in silence when she heard this.

Ten thousand people, army?

This little force is not enough for the Huns to charge and plug the gap between their teeth.

No wonder, the Western Roman Empire in history was defeated by the defeated generals of the Han Dynasty, and the remnants of the defeated generals of the German barbarian tribe of the Huns, and the remnants of the defeated generals of the German barbarian tribe were defeated.

...

Chu Tianxiu is still very clear about the three most glorious history of Rome in European history, "Royal Era, Republic, and Empire Era".

The Roman Republic, ruled by the Senate, consuls and the nobles of the Tribal Council, was a polytheistic country.

The Jewish Jesus preached in various parts of the Mediterranean and once accepted twelve disciples. They developed from Judaism to Christianity, all of which were "one God" religions.

The Roman Republic of Polytheism naturally cannot tolerate monotheism Christianity.

Speaking of which, Christianity, which was extremely glorious in later generations, is currently similar to rats crossing the street in the Roman Republic, and is being subject to cruel suppression and confiscated property of believers.

It is currently an underground religion that can only be spread privately at the bottom of Rome.

Until hundreds of years later, the separation of powers in the Roman Republic was over.

When the supreme emperor of the Roman Empire came to power, he discovered that the great benefits of Christianity, the monotheistic religion, brought far better than the polytheistic religion, was much better than that of the polytheistic religion. It is the most beneficial religion for integrating the entire European continent.

Polytheism is prone to the division of ideas and the division of local powers.

Only then did the Roman Empire begin to fully support monotheistic Christianity, abolish polytheism, and intend to integrate the Mediterranean and Europe - although this goal has almost never been accomplished.

The Roman Empire was the closest to unification, and the European continent was still in a mess since then.

It is somewhat similar. The Confucianism of the Great Chu Dynasty is now also a landlord and rich family among the counties. It is still one step away from becoming a state religion that "deposes all schools of thought and respects Confucianism alone" and pursues "great unification".

From the experiences of the East and the West, every emperor will instinctively pursue great unification, and great unification only requires one "thought".

The East chose "Confucianism" and respected Confucius and sages as their pioneers.

The West chose the Unitarianism "Christianity" and respected Jesus Christ as God.

...

"Since you come, you will be at peace."

After listening to Anthony's self-report, Chu Tianxiu felt quite sympathetic, "Since Rome can't stay, let's settle down in Great Chu."

"His Excellency Marquis Xie!"

Anthony burst into tears of gratitude, "That blue glass cup..."

"I don't need it. However, there are many wealthy people in Jinling City. Just find a rich man to sell it. Change a few hundred taels of silver to settle in Jinling City and make some money in doing business in Jinling."

Chu Tianxiu said, "I am quite interested in the business routes in the Western Regions and will open the business routes to the Western Regions in the future.

You have traveled all the way from Rome and know a little about some of the situation in the Western Regions. Maybe you will use it. At that time, you will make a fortune with this Marquis!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, I will serve you!"

Anthony was overjoyed when he heard this.

When he came to the Great Chu Dynasty, he was worried that there were no local powerful princes and nobles to rely on.

Only with the protection of kings and princes can you do business with peace of mind.

The Silk Road, the trade route between the Great Chu Dynasty and Rome, was the largest and most profitable trade route he knew.

...

Chu Tianxiu sent Anthony away.

Sang Hongyang stood with his hands hanging down, like a disciple.

He was so amazed that he was convinced.

He had known Anthony for at least a year. However, he had no idea about the origin of this old white man Anthony and always thought he was a businessman from the Great Yuezhi.

Unexpectedly, it was extremely far away. The "Roman Republic" that I had never heard of before. It was even farther away than the two great empires of Anxi and Kushan.

As for Christianity, what the hell is that?

"Teacher, what is Christ?"

Sang Hongyang was curious.

"Well, Unitarianism, something far away than Buddhism, don't worry about it."

Chu Tianxiu waved.

Buddhism has just entered the Great Chu Dynasty for more than ten years. Monk Dahai is spreading hard everywhere. Only a few people know about Jinling City, but few people believe in it.

It will take at least several hundred years for Buddhism to flourish in Middle Earth.

As for Christianity, it still suffers in the Roman Republic.

After the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished briefly, and then for at least a thousand years, the entire West and Christianity were constantly sinking.

Once the Huns were defeated by the Great Chu Dynasty, they would flee to the West and conquered the Germans and Slavs all the way.

The Germans fled to Europe again and crippled the Romans.

The European continent was ravaged by the barbaric nomads, trapped in the quagmire, and was dying.

It was not until one or two thousand years later that Western countries suddenly entered the era of great navigation in order to open up trade routes, and finally rose, and Christianity spread throughout the world.

This history is likely to be changed due to the appearance of Chu Tianxiu.

Perhaps, the Western nations have no chance to enter the Age of Discovery. Christ may not even be able to overcome the Polytheism.

Chu Tianxiu naturally didn't care about these things.

"Where are you living now?"

Chu Tianxiu said.

"The student came to Jinling for the exam this time and temporarily stayed at Hongmen Inn and had no place to live. Anthony came to Jinling City with the students and also stayed at the inn."

Sang Hongyang Road.

Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly, "Since you have passed the Jinshi, please buy a house in Jinling City and live there for a long time.

I will refine glass, and you will take it to the various vassal states of Great Chu, Minyue and other surrounding small countries, and even transport it to the Huns for sale!”

"Refining glass? Anthony's glass cup just now...one, at least one hundred taels of silver, that would be huge profits! My teacher knows the refining technique? I must know, otherwise my teacher wouldn't know about the concave mirror and glass!"

Sang Hongyang was shocked.

This is a rare commodity, a magical thing from the Western Regions. Without mastering superb refining techniques, it cannot be made.

If the mentor knew the technology of making glass, it would definitely be huge profits!

"nature."

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

For concave mirrors and light experiments, glass is needed, so it is refined first.

Glass is too easy to break, carriage transportation is bumpy, and the losses are extremely high. It is not as convenient as silk, so it is easy to sell to the distance.

However, in Dachu, the demand for glass products is still huge.

Mirrors, glass containers, magnifying glasses, telescopes, and these are essential things.

This glass is a powerful tool for trade and a powerful tool for war.

Sang Hongyang is a genius in business and finance, and is very smart.
