Chapter 522 Great Qin's Influence in the World
In the city of Rome, in the residence of the supreme consul.
At this time Scipio was dealing with important matters from all over Rome, as well as some matters regarding the new code of law.
But Scipio didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he felt happy and high-spirited!
Because since he became the supreme consul of Rome, this was the first time he enjoyed the power that this position should have.
In the past, although he was said to be the supreme consul of Rome and the man with the most power in Rome on the surface, in fact he was just a puppet pushed by the nobles for the world to see.
As long as it is a major military or political matter, it basically requires the consent of the nobles. If they do not agree, no matter how hard Scipio tries, it will not be implemented.
If we follow the wishes of these nobles, they will not have any thoughts of replacing them for the time being, and Scipio will still have the right to make decisions on some small matters.
But if Scipio dared to have any rebellious intentions against them, or even violated their interests, let alone the official position of the supreme consul of Rome, he might not even be able to save his life!
But since the marriage with Great Qin, and the marriage with the legendary Prince of Great Qin, everything has changed!
His status soared like a rocket. Not only did he have the right to make independent decisions in various political affairs, but he also had the green light to abolish various new laws, such as the abolition of the nobility's tax exemption, and they were quickly passed.
This allowed Scipio to truly appreciate his power, and also let him know what it was like to be the supreme consul of Rome.
Moreover, the great nobles who usually didn't even give him a thumbs up now began to want to take the initiative to make friends with Scipio, and they had a vague intention of establishing a good relationship with him.
Even the people of the Cornelius clan had a very different attitude towards him.
They used to rely on Scipio to support them. The people of the Cornelius clan have always looked arrogant, and they were even more likely to come and go with Scipio, just like Scipio.
Pia is like their servant.
In order to keep his position as the supreme consul and to protect his relatives and family members from persecution, Scipio had to swallow his anger and silently swallow these humiliations.
Now, a 180-degree change has occurred. The Cornelius clan often sends people over to inquire about his welfare and connect with him emotionally.
They unconditionally supported Scipio's decisions in political affairs. They treated Scipio like a real family, which was completely different from before!
"Just a name can make those usually lawless nobles unable to hold their heads up. Is this the majesty from the world's most powerful country, Great Qin!"
Scipio couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a hot figure walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty the Consul, the information from Da Qin has been sent over."
Seeing the proud look on Scipio's face, the beauty said with a smile:
"Recently, Your Excellency the Consul's face has been glowing red, and he feels much younger. This is in line with what the people of Great Qin say, people are in high spirits during happy events."
"Really? Haha, I don't feel anything at all."
"Let's talk about business first. What new information has been sent from Da Qin?"
Scipio said seriously.
"As for the wedding date of Sophie and Prince Ying Yu, Da Qin has already decided on it. It will be on the eighth day of next month. According to Da Qin, this day is an auspicious day. Holding the wedding on this day can make Sophie and Ying Yu happy.
Prince Yu can receive blessings from the gods."
"And in order to celebrate the marriage between Great Qin and Rome, Great Qin will invite all countries in the world to attend the wedding banquet. At that time, all the respectable countries will send envoys there. Such a grand event has never been seen before."
Having said this, a look of longing appeared on the beauty's face.
"It's not just the reputable countries. With Da Qin's current influence in the world, I am afraid that all countries that have heard of Da Qin's name will send envoys. After all, this is an excellent opportunity to show goodwill to Da Qin. They will never give up. Then
This is the real coming of all nations."
"But you reminded me that Sophie is my daughter and a princess of Rome. Although this status is very noble, she is about to marry the prince of Da Qin. In this way, the status of the daughter of the supreme consul is not enough.
It’s time to see.”
"For this reason, I decided to canonize Sophie as the eldest princess of Rome, and give her a seat in the Senate, so that she can enjoy the most distinguished courtesy in Rome."
Scipio thought for a while and then said.
This surprised the beautiful woman on the side.
There is nothing wrong with canonizing the eldest princess. After all, Sophie is the daughter of the highest consul in Rome and comes from the largest family. Her status is no different from that of a Roman princess. The eldest princess is just an actual title given to her.
That’s all.
But granting seats to the Senate is different.
Because having a seat in the Senate means that Sophie can directly participate in Roman political affairs in the name of a member of the Senate, and also has some voting veto power. Throughout the entire history of Rome, there is no such precedent!
In other words, when Scipio's order is issued, Sophie will be the first princess to enter the Senate at such a young age in the entire Roman history, and the first princess to have a seat in the Senate!
But when she thought of the person Her Royal Highness Sophie was about to marry, the beauty instantly felt relieved.
The Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ying Yu, was the man who single-handedly brought the entire Great Qin into a new era!
Not only does he have invincible achievements, but he also possesses a variety of high-energy technologies that far exceed those of ancient times. People like this, according to the words of Da Qin, are the sages and living gods of the world.
In front of Ying Yu, what does a Senate seat mean?
I'm afraid that even if Scipio gave up his position as supreme consul to Sophie, he still wouldn't be noticed.
The reason why Xibi did this was actually a way to show his goodwill to Qin.
Today, Scipio does not dare to show any slight to Da Qin. He knows very well that the reason why he can raise his head in front of the Roman nobles and the reason why he has the power and status he has now is all because of Da Qin who is standing behind him.
!
There is no way, Da Qin is too powerful!
And this power is not only at the military level, but also lies in the pervasive economic penetration.
Since Da Qin's manufacturing technology was far more advanced than that of Rome, the tea, sugar, down jackets and other products they produced were extremely popular in Rome.
The most important point is that these products are difficult to imitate in Rome. Even if some can be imitated, the quality cannot be compared with those produced in Da Qin.
Therefore, many people would rather buy more expensive Daqin goods than cheap Roman junk.
It is precisely because of this that the market share of local Roman products has been continuously compressed, while the market share of Daqin products has been rapidly expanding.
