Yuan Tan had adjusted his mood at this time. At least Huangfu Song couldn't see any change in Yuan Tan's expression. Compared with the previous situation where he was too calm, Yuan Tan now looked almost the same as normal.
"We are actually discussing who should go to the Senate to take charge." Yuan Tan calmly looked at the generals, colonels and civil servants under his command, confirming the mentality of this group of people.
Generally speaking, the generals, schools, and civil servants who followed Yuan Tan from the Central Plains basically felt a sense of humiliation and humiliation, while the generals, schools, and civil servants accepted here in Eastern Europe had no sense of humiliation about this matter, and even people like Vale The guy who could be regarded as a veteran of the Yuan family also showed a look of surprise when he learned that Rome had decided to confer Yuan Tan the title of Duke of the Northeastern Border County.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in the big tent were secretly angry, I don't know what Valle would have said now.
Rome is indeed the undisputed beacon of Europe in this era. Even the Slavs, in essence, do not want to become Roman citizens, but some time ago, the price offered by Rome to the Slavs was too low, resulting in no negotiation between the two parties. Together, in essence, people like Valle still want to be in Rome.
"I, let me sit in the Roman Senate." Sipu An said very positively. Although he also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, Sipu Anjing, who was born in the Roman cultural circle, did not realize the impact of this incident on the Yuan family. You can only analyze this matter with your own thinking.
From Xipu's point of view, this matter is not a bad thing. At least it is not as tragic as Yuan Tan's so-called father's death. On the contrary, it is a very good thing. Duke, this is the Duke of Rome. The highest position under the emperor.
Yuan Tan looked at Xipu'an, who was eager to try, and felt somewhat helpless. This man was the prime minister appointed by the Yuan family. He was a true genius and someone who must be attracted. More importantly, he was very young and would be the future Yuan Tan. There is no doubt that Yuan Tan is the mainstay, but the other party's active desire to go to the Roman Senate really makes Yuan Tan feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's not impossible for you to go to the Roman Senate, but this kind of thing requires rotation. We don't have enough manpower. The number of people we can devote to the Senate is limited, and even if you go to the Roman Senate, you still have to undertake a considerable amount of work. "Xu You replied on behalf of Yuan Tan, it is impossible to directly reject Xipu'an.
Yes, after all, this person's ability is so strong that he needs to be smoothed out.
In this world, those who can ride on the wall, directly confront their superiors, or even outdo their superiors at all, either have special abilities or have unspeakable backers.
It’s not that Cypuan doesn’t understand politics, but he ignores this risk in the face of the current situation. He just wants to cause trouble in the Roman Senate. As the brains of the Roman Empire, the Senate is known to gather the best of the entire country. Cypuan An just wanted to see what these guys were and whether they were enough to be made by themselves.
There was no chance before, but now the opportunity has come. If he didn't go and take a look, Cypuan felt that he would never be able to pass this hurdle in his life. As a European, if he had the chance not to severely harm a wave of Romans, then he would still be considered European. People can't eat five cauldrons when they are alive, and they can be cooked by five cauldrons when they die. Do you understand?
"No problem, just tell me what you want to do in Rome. I have absolute confidence that I can do it well." Sipuan glanced at Xu You and said confidently. Although Xu You was twice as old as him, But apart from his experience, which is worthy of Xipu's praise, the rest is just that. The top powerhouse who influenced world history in the third century was this self-confidence.
Xu You had nothing to say after hearing this. Talented young people are really difficult to deal with, especially such a strong and boundless guy. He really doesn't know how to answer his words.
"Actually, I think we have to consider the issue of subsequent land reclamation. Being canonized as a Duke by Rome has become inevitable, and many subsequent strategies will be affected." Yuan Tan raised his hand and pressed it. There was no way to stop the fait accompli. All that is left to do is reduce losses.
"That one in Xinghuang." Xipu'an lowered his head and thought after hearing this. He made that plan, but his original intention of making this plan was not to cultivate wasteland, but to eliminate the racial conflicts within the Yuan family.
Language barrier and inability to communicate will inevitably lead to depression, and if the isolation is continued, it can only be said to be a short-term suppression, and many things still cannot be solved.
The best way to resolve internal racial conflicts is communication. Only with enough communication and understanding in this world can two groups of people of different races become brothers who support each other.
To put it bluntly, reclamation is just a job Xipu'an found that allows both parties to communicate with each other. It's just that this job has a positive cycle and can help the Yuan family realize their ideal of assimilating Eastern Europe.
It was something that could be accomplished in one fell swoop, but from Sipu'an's point of view, reclamation of wasteland was really not his goal. In his opinion, uniting the people under his rule was much more important than reclamation of wasteland.
"Actually, there is a piece of information that I have been researching, but now I feel it is necessary to talk about it." Cypuan restrained his previous excitement of wanting to harm the Roman Senate, and instead spoke with a few words. He looked at Yuan Tan very seriously and said.
"What information?" Yuan Tan asked with a frown. The Yuan family did have an intelligence network in Rome, but the overall intelligence network was not excellent. After Xipu'an arrived, he reorganized the intelligence network he had originally installed in Rome and strengthened the Yuan family. The intelligence collection of Rome also affected the Yuan family's intelligence agency to a certain extent. In other words, Xipu'an also had an intelligence network of its own.
"Rome is preparing to dig the Black Sea-Sea Canal." Cypuan asked with some uncertainty, "Of course this is just a rumor, and even my intelligence organization cannot determine the origin of this news, but strategically speaking, this Strategy is far from problematic."
This intelligence is indeed just a rumor, because everything in Rome has not stopped since Severus gave the order, and it has finally contained the civil strife. The locust plague broke out in East Africa again. Rome has no time and manpower to implement this plan, but After receiving this information, Xipuan believed that the information was most likely true based on his own experience and judgment.
"What?" Xu You was shocked, and Huangfu Song, who had traveled across the Eurasian plate, suddenly realized what it would mean for the entire Han Dynasty if Rome dug the Black Sea-Sea Canal. If this canal really wanted to talk about it, this If it is fixed in time, it will have a strategic impact.
As for Yuan Tan, if he was not very good at geographical matters, he would have to think about it for a while before he could react. Fortunately, Yuan Tan had the topographic map of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and eastern Rome firmly memorized in his mind, and he soon realized it. We will soon reach the Black Sea-Sea Canal.
"We have not received this news at all." Xu You was shocked and looked at Xipu'an in shock. If this news is true, the Yuan family will become very passive, and the Han family in Central Asia will also be greatly affected. of suppression.
"Well, it is secret information obtained by my intelligence line, but the source of the information is not sure." Cypuan waved his hand and said, "But from my standpoint, I think the Romans are not aware of this thing. That’s it, if you realize it, you will definitely cultivate it.”
This thing can really reverse the strategy. With the completion of the Black Sea-Sea Canal, Rome can strategically suppress Central Asia, and because of the Volga River, the secrets of Eastern Europe can be seen at a glance. Even if Rome does not know that the Volga River is all over Eastern Europe, From a national strategic perspective alone, building the Black Sea-Sea Canal would be beneficial without any harm.
"So it's about farming, I think. It doesn't matter whether you're exposed or not. To make iron, you need to be strong yourself." Xipu'an said while looking at everyone present.
"Is there no way to stop Rome from opening this canal?" Huangfu asked tentatively. Rome's opening of this canal would put too much pressure on Central Asia. If we use water transportation, whether it is logistics or the pressure of legion transportation, are much smaller than now.
