Da Qin's first maritime naval review once again aroused the people of Da Qin's enthusiasm for the great voyage.

In just a few days, 100,000 Qin citizens signed up to join the navy, and the merchants' additional investment in opening up the sea exceeded tens of millions of dollars.

Da Qin once again took a big step forward from land to sea.

Ying Zheng and his courtiers have already planned to choose a freeze-free port for construction in the newly developed Liaodong County.

Let Liaodong County also join in the great voyage, and let the people of Liaodong also share a wave of dividends.

And the Roman envoy Aemilius, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met Ying Yu.

"The Roman envoy, Aemilius, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qin!"

"Please allow me, on behalf of the Roman consul, His Excellency Scipio, to express my most sincere respect to Da Qin!"

Aemilius, after seeing Ying Yu's expressionless expression, couldn't help but feel restless, and quickly saluted and paid homage respectfully.

"If I remember correctly, Da Qin and Rome are still warring countries, so your so-called respect will be spared!"

Ying Yu waved his hand, with a hint of displeasure on his face, and said coldly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know that the war between Rome and Da Qin is purely a misunderstanding.

Before this, I, Rome, had no idea that we were at war with Great Qin State."

Aemilius quickly argued.

"Really? If I remember correctly, before the war started, someone had already informed Rome that Seleucid was the protectorate of our Great Qin, right?

But until our Great Qin Expeditionary Force arrives at the Seleucid front, you, Rome, have no intention of truce."

Ying Yu sneered unhurriedly.

"This...it is indeed our fault, the Roman Empire, this time. We, the Roman Empire, are willing to express our most sincere apology to the Great Qin Kingdom!"

Aemilius sighed helplessly, who allowed the 300,000 elite Roman legion to be defeated at the hands of the Qin Dynasty and be completely annihilated.

The rule of the battlefield is that the winner is king. Now that Rome is the defeated party, it must accept the difficulties made by Qin.

"You must be no ordinary person to be sent here by Scipio. Let's be honest, how do you, Rome, express your apology?"

Ying Yu said calmly: "If sincerity is not enough, I don't mind talking to Carthage. I believe Carthage will be willing to pay a big price for Da Qin's support."

Aemilius suddenly smiled bitterly. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Qin, really doesn't take soft and hard advice and only cares about interests.

Taking a deep breath, Aemilius saluted again and said:

"Your Highness, there are indeed many misunderstandings in the war between Rome and Daqin!

In order to express my apology, I, Rome, are willing to pay fifty thousand catties of gold and five hundred thousand catties of silver. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is satisfied with this apology?"

Aemilius carefully observed Ying Yu's expression and asked with some uncertainty.

In the previous negotiations between Rome and Carthage, there were cases where the envoys were directly imprisoned. Although I heard that Great Qin had a fine tradition of not killing the envoys when the two countries were in conflict.

But His Highness, the Crown Prince of Qin, has always acted independently, and Aemilius did not want to risk his own life.

After all, facing the Qin Dynasty, Rome is now in a weak position, and Aemilius's death would have been in vain.

It even became a lever for the Roman Senate and the other five major families to attack Scipio.

As for whether Scipio would avenge him, if Rome had this ability, he would not have to bow down to the prince of Qin.

"Are you sending fifty thousand kilograms of gold away to beggars? Is this the sincerity of your Rome?"

Ying Yu raised his eyebrows, stood up, turned around and left.

Aemilius was speechless. Fifty thousand catties of gold and five hundred thousand catties of silver were absolutely astronomical figures.

And it is already close to the final bottom line given by Scipio.

But after carefully thinking about what he saw and heard in Da Qin, Aemilius couldn't help but smile bitterly.

With the current prosperous business and strong national power of Da Qin, this gold and silver seems to be nothing to Da Qin.

Seeing that Ying Yu was about to leave, Aemilius gritted his teeth and said directly:

"Add another five hundred thousand taels of silver."

This is the minimum that Rome can bear.

"This little amount of money is not even enough to cover one month's tax revenue for our Daqin New City. If this is the only sincerity of Rome, then there is no need to continue the negotiation."

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Ptolemaic Egypt has surrendered to our country, Great Qin, and is preparing to build a grand canal in the Suez Strait."

When Aemilius heard this, he was immediately shocked and his heart sank to the bottom.

"I, Rome, are willing to add another one million pounds of silver!"

His previous worries were completely fulfilled. Da Qin indeed dug a canal in the Suez Strait.

This is to directly open up the Mediterranean Sea.

Aemilius couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the huge and extremely powerful Qin fleet that he had seen during the previous fleet review if it entered the Mediterranean Sea.

Their Roman fleet was incomparable to the Qin Navy.

It's not on the same level at all.

And the city of Rome, the capital of Rome, was right on the coast.

Once the huge fleet of Qin Dynasty approaches, the city of Rome will probably repeat the mistakes of being attacked and razed to the ground by the Gauls a hundred years ago.

Thinking of this, Aemilius couldn't help but trembled all over.

This scene is really terrible.

As for preventing Da Qin from building the Suez Canal?

Rome must also have that ability!

Aemilius, who had spent a lot of time in Daqin, had no doubts about whether Daqin could successfully dig the Suez Canal.

Da Qin is really powerful and intimidating!

"Stop talking about money all the time. Do you think I, Da Qin, am short of money?"

Ying Yu turned around and returned to his seat, chuckled and said.

"I don't know what I, Rome, can do to show sincerity. I would like to ask His Highness the Prince to make it clear. I can report it to the city of Rome and obtain a reply from His Excellency Scipio."

Aemilius smiled bitterly.

I'm afraid that after the news comes back, the city of Rome will also be in chaos.

"In that case, I, the Crown Prince, are not polite! First of all, Rome wants to surrender to me, the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Yu said calmly.

"no problem!"

Aemilius agreed without even thinking.

He had already told Scipio this before coming.

Anyway, Da Qin is thousands of miles away from Rome, so as long as they can hide the news, they don't care about the nominal surrender.

"Secondly, Rome must not launch any attack on Macedonia, Seleucid and Ptolemaic Egypt, otherwise our Qin soldiers will appear on the battlefield!"

"Can!"

Aemilius hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reacted and quickly agreed.

His Highness the Crown Prince of Da Qin seems not to have mentioned Carthage.

In this way, Rome actually still has room for maneuver.

The greedy and stingy nobles of Carthage were very wealthy.

"The last condition is also very simple, that is, Rome must provide our Great Qin with sincerity worth thirty million yuan."

After Ying Yu finished speaking, Aemilius was immediately stunned.

"Thirty thousand...ten thousand dollars?"

Looking at the stunned Aemilius, Ying Yu said calmly:

"Yes, it is only thirty million dollars, but I am not an unkind person.

These thirty million dollars are indeed a bit too much for you, Rome.

This way, I can give you ten years!

Within ten years, your Rome only needs to pay me, Great Qin, 30 million yuan every year!"

"By the way, this is a prerequisite!

To put it bluntly, if you don’t pay me, there will be no discussion, do you understand what I mean?”

Aemilius finally understood why all the foreign envoys said that the Prince of Qin only valued interests.

I just said that Da Qin is not short of money!
Chapter completed!
