What's more, Rome is much more fragmented than the Central Plains. With so many countries and forces from all sides, everyone will have different thoughts, it is simply a mess.

And Zhongyuan has the greatest confidence, fist...

Relying on this invincible army, the next thing Bai Su has to do is very simple, just recruit a faction, fight another faction, suppress a few thorns, and give some benefits, then these people will naturally be honest.

Seeing Bai Su's confident expression, Nero couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

She caressed the folds of the gorgeous dress, and immediately puffed out her plump chest, and walked into the hall.

And Bai Su followed her closely like a guard.

As soon as Nero entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"I have seen His Majesty, Lord Bai..."

As some nobles bowed their hands and saluted, the rest of the nobles also got up one after another.

Nero smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"Where, where, I just arrived."

"Your Majesty is very kind."

"..."

Nero took Bai Su's hand and asked him to sit beside him. Then he glanced at the people in the hall and said with a smile, "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet."

Seeing the close relationship between Nero and Bai Su, all the nobles looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their own plans.

Following Nero's order, the maids served dishes one after another, and the music and dancing in the palace began.

These Roman dancers have different looks, some have Mediterranean looks, some have European and Central Asian looks, although the Roman-style dances are somewhat difficult to understand.

However, with so many hot girls dancing graceful bodies, it still makes people feel pleasing and dizzying.

At least Bai Su thinks it's good, after all, this kind of emperor-level treatment cannot be enjoyed casually.

Bai Su looked relaxed, but these nobles were a little absent-minded. They were a little restless because of the close relationship between Bai Su and Nero.

After all, according to past experience, after Bai Su led the army into the city, he should be able to cut off Nero's head, surrounded by everyone, and become the new emperor of Rome.

And to rule Rome, they still need the support of their states. In this way, Bai Su stayed in Rome, and they still had the final say on each state.

Like a flowing emperor, an iron-clad aristocrat.

But now it seems that Bai Su not only did not kill Nero, but also has a very close relationship, and it seems that there are signs of joining hands with Nero to suppress them.

Now that they are thinking about the pros and cons, how can they have the time to appreciate beauties.

Finally after drinking for three rounds.

Nero put down the wine cup in his hand, glanced at the officials below with his green eyes, and said calmly: "Everyone, according to the Roman treaty I signed with Lord Bai, Rome is going to abolish slavery from now on. What do you think?"

Is it really here?

Many nobles had uncertain faces.

After all, the sources of finance for the various Roman states mainly depended on trade, as well as slave trading and extraction.

This suddenly abolished slavery and cut off their pocketbooks. Isn't that killing them?

Nero was not at all surprised by everyone's reaction, she continued: "I know that you are a little reluctant about this, but I have already discussed with Lord Bai, the abolition of slaves will not completely destroy your financial resources."

"After allocating land to these people and encouraging farming, you can increase your enthusiasm and increase the production of food and other things, and you can get part of the tax."

"Moreover, the Central Plains will ship tens of thousands of silk, tea, porcelain and other commodities through the port every year."

"At that time, you can sell as a local agent. No matter how much you sell these products, the price that Zhongyuan will give you will always be fixed, and the difference you earn will be yours."

"Moreover, the Central Plains will purchase the grain, olive oil, spices, and ores that are dug every year."

"Even the Central Plains can spend money to buy the surplus refugees in your country."

"After the money is handed over to you, it is up to you to decide how to deduct part of the management expenses and hand over the rest of the money to the people..."

After hearing Nero's words, everyone looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Some people thought it was good. After all, the Xia army was too strong, and they couldn't beat them again and again. They agreed to such a condition. Although they lost their slaves, they could be squeezed, but they had a lot of working people, and they could get a cut of the tax.

Coupled with the ability to sell Central Plains goods locally, this is equal to the nature of a semi-monopoly, and it is no worse than slaves in making money.

After all, no matter how hard a hundred slaves work, there is no silk, porcelain, or tea, and a shipment of goods is worth more.

But some are unwilling.

Agreeing to let Zhongyuan manage and purchase, does this not mean losing sovereignty and handing over a large part of governance, financial and judicial power to outsiders?

It would be fine if the Central Plains purchases are stable, but if one day they want to suppress the price and force the purchase at a low price, wouldn't they be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, unable to tell what they are suffering?

Soon, a middle-aged man stood up.

He slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said, "This is a humiliation, and I will never agree to such a condition."

Bai Su used a manicure clipper to lightly grind his nails, without raising his head, he said, "Who agrees, who opposes?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, for a moment they didn't know what Bai Su meant, most of them were watching, only four or five scattered people stood up.

"We object."

Bai Su put down the nail clippers in his hand, blew on his nails, raised his head, and looked at the dissatisfied faces.

These few people seemed to have gained confidence in joining forces, and faced Bai Su's gaze, they gave a cold snort, full of dissatisfaction.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became stiff.

Nero's black eyebrows were slightly frowned, a look of worry appeared on her fair and pretty face, and she didn't know what to do next.

Bai Su smiled on his face, just when everyone thought he was going to give in.

He said directly: "Come here, pull these people out and kill them."

"Yes."

Soon, the soldiers of Daxia walked in from outside the hall, forcibly set up these Roman nobles, and dragged them out like dragging dead pigs.

"You...what are you doing? I'm a member of the Senate. How dare you treat me like this."

"Let go of me, I'm from Carthage..."

"boom!!!"

With a few gunshots, the outside of the hall suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Han walked slowly to Bai Su's side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the assassin has been shot."

As he said that, the soldiers of Daxia dragged the Roman noble who had lost his breath, and walked slowly on the steps outside the hall, and the corpse dragged a long bloodstain on the ground.

“so good”

Bai Su nodded slightly, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face, looked at the stunned Roman nobles present, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what you think?"

After seeing the miserable end of the opponents, these nobles suddenly figured it out and responded one after another.

"I, Egypt, would like to honor the Treaty of Rome and abolish slavery..."

"I am Syria..."

"I'm Jewish..."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Nero couldn't help being surprised with his fair and pretty face.

She stared blankly at Bai Su next to her, she really couldn't believe that this man who was still gentle and elegant in front of him was so decisive and ruthless in the next second.

No wonder, this person can be famous all over the world, overwhelming all heroes, with such courage, he really is not an ordinary person.

In a trance, she felt her heart beat faster, as if she really fell in love with this man.

Chapter 480 Xianyang's Shura Field

As the content of the Treaty of Rome spread throughout the country, it caused a great stir within the empire for a while.

After seeing the content, individual nobles couldn't help crying with their heads in their hands.

After all, without the slaves they could squeeze, they would no longer be able to annex land and easily obtain huge profits.

And when those slaves heard that they would be restored to their status as civilians and freed, they couldn't believe it at first, and then they shouted excitedly.

Many people knelt directly on the ground, covering their faces and crying in excitement.

These people gathered together, constantly shouting the greatness of Seris, Bai Su Nai is a saint alive, so kind and holy.

There are even some people lying on the ground, kissing the land facing the east, their faces full of piety.

Of course, in addition to slaves, there were many Roman citizens among these people.

Although according to Roman law, as citizens they have the right to buy and sell slaves, due to the influx of a large number of slaves, wealth quickly concentrated to a few nobles.

The ordinary Roman people, because of their work, were directly involved by countless slaves, and they were unemployed and unable to survive.

Now Bai Su promised to free the slaves and provide jobs to everyone equally.

Even, the land and wealth that would be annexed by the nobles were distributed to them, how could this not make them feel grateful.

The Xia army, who was obviously an invader, did not receive the slightest hostility in the city. There were countless Roman people everywhere, who came forward to send flowers and fruits.

It's like a gesture of feeding the pot of rice to welcome the master.

Although there are still a few nobles who grit their teeth with hatred for Xia Jun, Bai Su has the support of public opinion and the legal support given by Nero, who is the Roman emperor.

In addition, some powerful nobles have already been beaten by him, and they dare not have any opinions for a while.

Although there are some objections to this, it is no longer a concern for the overall situation.

When the situation in Rome gradually stabilized, Baisu supported Nero's drastic reforms.

At the same time, the far east was covered with dark clouds.

Xianyang Palace.

Hu Yanhao bit his vermilion lips lightly, and looked at the complex-looking Zheng sister in front of him with strange eyes: "My lord, you... When did you have an affair with that bad thing."

Sister Zheng sat in front of the table, her elegant and luxurious face froze for a moment, then she sneered, "You...what are you talking about."

Hu Yan said, "I've already heard about it from my elder sister. Will my mother continue to hide it from me?"

After a long silence.

Only then did Sister Zheng sigh, "I'm sorry."

Hu Yan clenched his white jade hands tightly, and said in a low voice: "In this case, why did my lord mother marry me?"

"Ban'er..."

Sister Zheng's vermilion lips parted slightly, and she looked at the haggard Hu Tan in front of her, and couldn't help feeling distressed, so she couldn't help pulling Hu Tan's hand.

Hu Yan subconsciously wanted to break free, but seeing Sister Zheng's complicated face, he stopped moving again.

All this time, Sister Zheng has always looked majestic and glamorous in her heart.

She was full of admiration and reverence for Sister Zheng, but now when she learned the truth, her worldview collapsed, which made her unable to accept it for a while.

However, after all, she has experienced as an agent of the government for a period of time, and her character has become much more mature than before.

Hu Yan knew very well that if she was angry and exposed this matter, it would have no benefit at all except for damaging the face of the royal family.

It will shake the entire government and the public, and the whole world will discuss it.

This made her very contradictory for a while, and reason told her that she should not be angry, as this would only make things worse.

But the feeling of grievance made her a little hard to accept. The inexplicable feeling of being betrayed by the closest and most trusted person gave her the urge to cry.

Sister Zheng hugged Hu Tan in her arms, and sighed helplessly.

Although she had expected today's scene a long time ago, when she really saw Hu Tan's sad look, she still felt complicated for a while.

Hu Yan leaned in Sister Zheng's arms, smelling the familiar smell, and his mood gradually stabilized.

She couldn't help asking: "Mother, when did you get together with that bad thing..."

Sister Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess to Hu Yan, without any more concealment.

She gazed at the window in the distance, and murmured: "That damned sycophant, I just trained him as a subject at the beginning, and I didn't have any ideas. I made an agreement with him in my spare time. I am on equal footing, so I promise him one request."

"At first I thought it was an agreement that couldn't be fulfilled at all, but who would have thought that this courtier would actually make it happen. He stood by my side step by step and walked into my heart."
