The Celtics felt a little disappointed about this matter, but they didn't say anything. After all, the strength and power displayed by the Yuan family were stable by the Duke of the Roman border. If it were not until Caesar was pressed into the soil two hundred years ago, the Celtics would not be considered a high-level marriage to a great noble of this level.

Unfortunately, both Rome and Han Dynasty are thriving. As the earliest wave of civilized Celtics in the world history, they are going downhill. To this day, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are not even enough for 500,000. The double-talented legion can't get together.

When kings emerged and kingdoms were everywhere, they never rely on so-called identity, status, and ancient inheritance, but the power in their hands. The division of strength and weakness is directly linked to status. It is different from countries and people. There is no need for moral embellishment, and power is the truth.

The Celtics were so weak that they were able to survive in Eastern Europe by relying on the alms of the Slavs. What's more, this way of survival was more dependent on the Slavs' demand for iron tools, and they themselves had no interest in the Celtics.

Even the Yuan family planned to use the Celtics to apologize to Rome in the early days. After all, the situation was better than the people, and it was nothing to admit defeat for a while. As long as you still have a chance to stand up and fight back.

The later change was also because the Celtics reached out to pull Shen Pei, and there were only three main battle legions sent by Rome, and the others were local barbarian legions.

Even though the three legions have the qualities of decisive battles, and the combat effectiveness of the Barbarian Legion is quite good, there is no pressure on forces like the Yuan family that have developed.

After all, the Yuan family, which had completely integrated the Slavs, could withstand these three decisive wars without using their elite power. After all, the three major European barbarians were disgusted with Rome for so many years.

What's more, the Slavs, who are armed in the Han Dynasty, will rush up to chop people after drinking, and will not feel any psychological pressure at all.

I don’t know if it should be said that this nation is born with a lack of awe, or that they like to challenge life with alcohol.

In short, after drinking, the Slavs liked fighting very much. As a soldier, they may not be very disciplined, but they rely on their combat power to make up for many problems.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the Yuan family still accepted the allegiance of the Celtics, and it may be because they knew that their family could not do anything. The Celtic female pope chose to marry. This method, which is quite useful in both China and abroad, can strengthen the contact while making both parties more at ease. As for the Pope himself, he cannot be considered a victim who is unwilling to be.

Yuan Tan was actually a little hesitant about this. After all, he was different from a guy like Ma Chao, who dared to marry a foreign beauty casually.

Besides, Ma Chao has some other problems. For example, Ma Chao's Ma family is not Ma Yuan's direct lineage. Ma Yuan's direct lineage is Ma Rong and Ma Riyan's lineage. Ma Riyan was still a three-monarch before resigning from office. Although he is old now, he is still in a high position.

By the way, Ma Riyi and Yuan Shu had a good relationship. In addition, Ma Riyi and Zhao Qi did not appear in this life to go out to Hangu Pass to appease the princes of Guandong. When Ma Riyi went to see Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu forced Ma Riyi to stay in Shouchun and made Ma Riyi angry to death, so the relationship between the two is still OK now.

What's more, there is another important point here. Adela is also the princess of Armenia after all, and it is not a humiliation for Ma Chao to marry her. Even if he returns to China, no one will say anything. If Yuan Tan marrys the Pope as his wife, the face of the Yuan family will probably hurt a little.

After all, he is a wealthy family, and a good family is very particular. Even if you marry a concubine, you must have a lot of reasons. At least you can't let those people waiting to watch the Yuan family make a joke.

But it should be no loss. If you can give birth to a son of the Yuan family with black hair and black eyes, even if you have white skin, you will not lose at all. However, you cannot...

While the waves were flying on the Yuan family, Pompianus, who was in Rome, was relying on Severus' great prestige to defeat Anxue.

Anyway, the group of merchants in the Senate were killed, and Pompianus guessed that he had been on the blacklist. After all, he had killed so many Senate veterans in one go, so he would definitely have to give an explanation in the future. Such crazy things may even offend the previous neutral faction.

However, Pompianus had nothing to regret after doing things. After killing a lot of businessmen, Pompianus had more spare money and used the cement concrete technology traded from the Han Dynasty to build roads everywhere. Then it was time to start mining, and it was time to prosper business.

In short, with this method, Rome's financial pressure was quickly alleviated. In fact, both Rome and the Han Dynasty died of lack of money in official history, but this lack of money was just the country's lack of money. In addition, Pompianus's new intercepted the Han Dynasty's state-owned trade management to a great extent, so that Rome's finances began to improve.

Therefore, although there is a group of people who are hostile to Pompianus, Pompianus will not capsize now for the prosperity of the Roman Empire.

In addition, the message sent by Herodian said that the Han Dynasty liked some strange stones and sent back a group of stonemasons. After the exchanges between the two sides, Rome began to mine and make blood stones on the territory of later France.

The Han Dynasty may not recognize other things, but in ancient times, the stones that could make seals were very pleasing. Rome thought that this kind of thing could not be eaten or drunk, and it was useless to use it. But since the Han Dynasty agreed that the value of this thing was, then it was good to mine!

So Pompianus quickly got on the horse and started mining, and then barred with the Han Dynasty. The two sides quickly reached an agreement. In short, Pompianus did not pay a penny and got the silk. After that, the price started to increase and sold it to the public, he took it very quickly.

After all, he did not spend money or give the Han Dynasty money. All the advance payments paid by the Roman nobles and citizens made Pompianus into the treasury. For the Romans who had to use fiscal revenue to buy silk every year, the deficit was actually killed after missing the largest expenditure. In an instant, Pompianus added ten points to his interest in mining.

Therefore, recently Pompianus sent a group of people to the Han Dynasty to study jade. Although he didn't know why this kind of thing is so valuable and why it can be linked to the price of silk, it doesn't matter. As long as the Han Dynasty recognizes this price, Rome doesn't mind multiple income at all.

As for the local jade mines, Rome said that they could dig jade mines in other countries, which was a large income that could solve the fiscal deficit. Dig! As long as it was not a jade mine in the Han Dynasty, it could dig. There was nothing to be afraid of. If you don’t believe it, ask the group of countries next to you, who do you think that Rome looked down on himself when he started mining in their homes?

In short, recently, Pompianus, who has made a wave of bartering, has sent people everywhere to prospect the material. By the way, Pompianus also clearly felt that like Rome, there were a group of rich people running further and further on the luxury road.

Pompianus, who has no idea what seals and jade are, can only define it as luxury goods. However, it is better to like luxury goods. Compared to other things, luxury goods have a high added value. Think about why silk was so cheap in the Han Dynasty and so expensive in Rome. You can understand that luxury goods? It is not okay to buy it inexpensively.

"Pompianus, what is this?" Seville pointed to the bodyguard that Pompianus got over and frowned, "What is this?"

"This is our finance this year." Pompianus said with a little excitement. Originally, the fiscal settlement should have been at the beginning of the year, but there were many things this year, so it was delayed until June.

"In the end is this surplus?" Severu didn't understand this very much, but he could see the various expenditures and income, and then said excitedly at the surplus column.

"Yes, even if we maintain the 200,000 pairs of talented legion, we have not had a deficit." Pompianus said with a little pride.

He found that after recycling the industries of the group of merchants, then dividing the industries into two types: nourishing people and profitable in a state-owned way, and then pouring down a bunch of policy support, the interests of Roman citizens were greatly guaranteed, and even some of the barbarians who participated in the war could be guaranteed as life, making barbarians more and more want to become Roman citizens.

"Is there no deficit?" Seville licked his lips and was a little excited. "Crossed out all the veterans who were about to be dismissed, and after a while, each soldier who participated in the war would be paid two months' salary, and a wave of military training will be conducted for adult citizens in the second half of the year."

Pompianus was struck by lightning, his eyes rammed, staring at Severus completely at a loss. He took the report to Severus to show him how correct his policy was. The Roman Empire was pulled back from the fork in the road by itself, not to make Severus go further and further on the road of committing suicide.

"Well, I'm giving the auxiliary soldiers who participated in the Roman Rest battle for a month." Severus ignored Pompianus's expression.

In Severus's opinion, since Rome's finances are completely fine, it should not be disarmament. The senators who were really working in the Senate almost held their thighs and tried to persuade them, so they had to agree to withdraw the elites who had reached the dual talent. Now, Pompianus said that the finances not only have no deficits, but also have surpluses, so what kind of severance is laid?

As a soldier emperor, what I like most is the army. Not only will it not be laid off, but it also needs to expand the army.
