Chapter 483 Roman Princess Sophie
Great Qin Jiangnan, Gusu City!
An inconspicuous five-toothed boat stopped at the bustling and noisy pier, and little Scipio and his younger sister Sophie jumped off the boat together.
For these strange-looking foreigners, the busy Daqin people on the wharf have long been familiar with them. They just glanced at them casually and continued to devote themselves to their work.
"Is this Daqin? It's so prosperous!"
"And these Qin people are too rich, right?"
Looking at the bustling and bustling scene in front of her, Sophie couldn't help but express her feelings.
Gusu Wharf stretches for more than ten miles, and the flow of people in it is more than [-].
With so many people, they could almost catch up with half the city of Rome.
And it's not just that there are many people, although the people of Daqin on the pier are busy, they all have smiles on their faces and are full of energy.
The clothes are also very gorgeous, no worse than those worn by their Roman nobles.
In fact, due to the continuous increase of Daqin's influence, Daqin's clothing is now popular in various countries, and the down jacket on Sophie's body is from Daqin.
This kind of coat, which is lined with cotton cloth and filled with soft down, is not only very warm, but also very light, and the color is also very bright. It has become the favorite of Roman noble ladies.
Sophie paid a high price equivalent to Daqin's full three thousand yuan to grab this body.
However, in Gusu City, such clothes can be seen everywhere, which made Sophie a little surprised.
And as far as she knew, Gusu City was just an ordinary seaport city in Daqin.
An ordinary city in Daqin is like this. I don’t know what kind of scene it is in Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, which is known as the largest city in the world.
"The mainland of Great Qin is indeed much more prosperous than Rome."
"However, although the price of this clothing is extremely high in Rome, it is very cheap in Daqin."
"The price of cold-proof clothing such as down jackets will not exceed [-] yuan in Daqin, and the price of cheaper woolen sweaters and cotton-padded clothes can be as low as [-] yuan."
"But now in Daqin, a labor force works four hours a day, and basically can get more than one yuan. Women also have special workshops, or weave clothes at home, and can get about ten yuan a month."
"Thus, these clothes are affordable even for ordinary Qin people."
The head of the Roman mission quickly introduced Sophie.
The person standing in front of him is the daughter of the supreme consul, who is equivalent to a princess, and he dare not neglect her.
And according to his guess, this young lady may have other intentions for coming here this time.
If it can be realized, it is that he needs to climb even more.
"A piece of clothing worth [-] yuan, after crossing the ocean to Rome, can be sold for at least [-] yuan. The profit margin is too exaggerated, right?"
Sophie's eyes widened involuntarily. While shocked, she also began to feel sorry for her wallet.
Although she came from a noble family, her monthly money is only a thousand dollars, and she bought this outfit after saving for a long time.
Now that he learned that he had been brutally slaughtered by the Daqin merchant, he suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.
"There's no way, who made these things only available in Daqin, and you can't buy products of the same quality in other places."
"This is the benefit of monopolizing the market, and the price is completely determined by others."
"It's not just the warm clothes, but the colored glaze that has been sold at sky-high prices in places like Rome and Carthage is actually not too expensive in the mainland of Great Qin."
"There are also white sugar, tea, rice paper, etc., which are all expensive in our place, but in Daqin, they are very cheap."
"Daqin can have today's prosperity, and this huge sea trade profit is one of the biggest driving forces."
The head of the Roman mission explained with a wry smile.
"Since you know the huge profits of this sea trade, why don't you join in together?"
Sophie frowned slightly with her pretty brows.
"First of all, the production technology of this big ship is currently only available in Daqin. Even my Rome is far behind. The ships that run from the mainland of Daqin to Persia are all produced in Daqin."
"And these ships can only be purchased with Daqin household registration, and the many supply points built along the way are only for the people of Daqin. Without these supports, Wanli Maritime Trade has no way to start..."
"Even if the Suez Canal is opened and my Roman ships are allowed to enter, due to the small size of the ship, the items that can be carried at one time are far lower than those of Daqin. The transportation cost is much higher, and it is impossible to compete with the people of Daqin."
"Also, if you don't have a Daqin household registration, you have to pay extra high tariffs to buy Daqin items. If you add everything up, it's better to buy directly from Daqin merchants."
The head of the Roman mission sighed helplessly.
He had thought about the self-built maritime trade fleet that Sophie mentioned a long time ago, but after many attempts, he could only give up with regret.
"Who came up with such a harsh condition? Doesn't it give me a way out of Rome?"
Sophie couldn't help but gasp.
"As far as I know, these policies should all come from the hands of His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Daqin."
"His Royal Highness, the crown prince, is definitely the most talented and strategic figure I have ever seen. In terms of military affairs, he single-handedly conquered nearly ten times the territory of Great Qin, and made the surrounding countries follow suit."
"In terms of cultural governance, he single-handedly created the great development of commercial sea trade, invented many amazing new inventions, and transformed these advanced technologies into unique items of Daqin to obtain high profits, which brought Daqin to today's world. point."
"What's even more frightening is that His Royal Highness is only in his early twenties, and his position in Daqin is as stable as a mountain."
"That is to say, if there is no accident, at least five or sixty years in the future, or even longer, the entire Great Qin and the entire world will be under the control of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The gods really made a big joke on me, Rome!"
"Why can't such a character be born in Rome?"
The head of the Roman mission sighed heavily.
Sophie couldn't help but froze.
She never thought that her idol would have such an image.
Although stronger than he imagined, the threat he brought to Rome was too great.
Thinking of her father Scipio's stammering tone before departure, Sophie's heart sank.
Could it be that even his most respected father wants to give up resistance?
