Li Yi's plan was actually very simple, he secretly allocated nearly 100 tons of gold reserves, and sent Wang Xuance to lead the elite agents of the Tang Dynasty to open an underground bank in Rome.

However, the Romans were not fools and could not have believed in the underground banks that suddenly appeared. So, find a way.

“…… That's what the plan is. After Wang Xuance explained Li Yi's plan, he finally said to his deputy Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Xiaokuan is also a character summoned by Li Yi, and his real identity is the Shangguo Zhu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he is best at counter-plotting. He is a character summoned by Li Yi in the imperial examination, and his ability is also very outstanding, with a five-dimensional numerical commander of 93, a force of 67, a resourceful 97, a political 94, and a charismatic 83.

Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said, "Commander, then, how do we implement it?" ”

Wang Xuance laughed and said: "This is simple, the emperor's plan is very perfect, we can't add to it, just follow it." First of all, let's find a famous and middle-aged old nobleman in this Roman city, and it would be great to have an old shop, and after that, let's do this and so and ......."

Wei Xiaokuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the commander said is true, this Roman city is actually not as prosperous as before, and the declining old nobles must be easy to find." ”

"Rome is no longer prosperous...... Wang Xuance threw away a tacit expression, and the two laughed.

Wang Xuance jumped up from his chair and waved loudly: "The world only needs a prosperous Datang to be enough." Come on, it's getting late, let's take action! ”

"Whoa!" The accompanying agents of the Datang Shadow Group immediately dispatched.

………………

Early the next morning, information came.

Wei Xiaokuan read the information: "Arupis Marius, fifty-eight years old, the heir of the Marius family. This family is the family of the Romans in history, the ancestor Gaius Marius. Gaius Marius was elected consul at the time of Rome's defeat at the hands of the Germans, and he carried out military reforms, introduced conscription, and finally defeated the Germans. Afterward...... Like many bloodlines, it eventually declined. ”

Wang Xuance took a few bites of Roman bread, took the information and looked at it for himself, and after a while, he said: "This old guy is very famous in Rome City, and he wants to restore the glory of the family, but he has no money, so he can use it." Xiaokuan, when will you be able to get in touch, I'll meet this old guy. ”

Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said: "Like many declining families, this person is selling his ancestral property again, and this time he is selling the opera house next to the square in the east of the city. ”

"Oh?" Wang Xuance was stunned for a moment, "This old guy has a thick enough background." ”

The Roman Forum was the center of Roman civil society, political and religious life, as well as the seat of various commercial activities. To put it bluntly, it is a center of communication for residents, and there is everything. To be able to own an opera house in such a place is a symbol of status and status.

Wei Xiaokuan said: "His ancestors were consuls, just like Caracalla's current position, and this square, called Mallor, was built to commemorate his ancestors' victory over the Germans. It is better not to fight the idea of a square, because this square is a symbol of an era, expensive and easy to expose. ”

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "It's okay, let's buy an opera house." Get in touch with this old guy. Didn't he want to restore the glory of his family, then his chance had come. ”

………………

Three days later.

Wang Xuance and Wei Xiaokuan visited the opera house called "Glory", with a large vaulted dome and two floors, with the usual location below and the private rooms on the second floor. Like the Western opera houses in later generations, there is a stage in front of it, which is used for opera.

Later, the two followed old Arupis to his office. At the rectangular table, the two sides are seated.

With reluctance, Alupis asked his entourage to make three cups of tea, and said to Wang Xuance and Wei Xiaokuan: "This is Maojian from the Tang Dynasty. Please taste it. ”

There are ten famous teas in Huaxia, but many of them do not have the names of later generations at this time, and these names are all named by Li Yi.

"Hairy tip?" Wang Xuance scratched his dyed blonde hair, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and when he was about to spit it out, he was kicked by Wei Xiaokuan under his feet.

"Coo", Wang Xuance reluctantly swallowed, tears were about to come out, and his heart said What kind of bullshit is this "hairy tip", this is "hairy tail", right?

However, Wang Xuance now has a request for Arupis, or flattered Arupis, and finally reached a deal. Wang Xuance bought the opera house at a suitable price. Then, a large piece of ko's head gold was placed in front of Arupis.

The old guy was very excited to see money, money is a good thing. A glorious family like him, as long as there is enough money to revitalize, he will be able to re-enter the Senate. On the other hand, the Senate is all rich and honorable, and all of them are indispensable, and if you have no money, you will naturally be kicked out.

The world of Rome is very realistic, and during the republican period, the army of the Roman Republic was actually a combination of legions under the elders of the Senate. The elders are responsible for a part of the country, and the wars are all major and large, and they have to pay for borrowing soldiers or something. Whoever is the strongest is the consul. Caesar was the strongest, so he became a consul for life. If you don't accept it, you will go head-to-head. The most famous is Antony's head-to-head with Caesar's nephew Octavian, who won and began the imperial system.

Old Arupis kindly reminded: "Your Excellency, it is inconvenient to bring this gold, you can go to the Imperial Bank and exchange gold for paper money." Don't worry, these banknotes can be exchanged for gold at any time. ”

After speaking, he also took out a few banknotes and showed them to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance took it and looked at it, and said in his heart: "Compared with my Tang Dynasty's martial arts banknotes, this card is much worse." I can't do anything, I still want to steal the teacher! ”

Since the old Arupis mentioned this banknote, Wang Xuance also pushed the boat along the river and said: "Your Excellency, the junior has an immature idea and wants to discuss it with the senior. ”

Old Arupis took the gold, and then said, "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

Wang Xuance also said that he wanted to open a bank, and he did not hesitate to say anything, saying that he had a big industry, and he opened a bank to absorb savings and use it to invest and make money.

As Wang Xuance, who borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with one mouth, that mouth was originally good, after being summoned by Li Yi, his ten years of work in the Shadow Group were honed again, and what he said was called a skyscraper, and he immediately confused the old Alupis.

Rome was stealing, and there was no rule that individuals were not allowed to open banks. However, the old Alupis, who only thought that Wang Xuance had great ability and could make a lot of money, still maintained a certain degree of sobriety, and reminded Wang Xuance euphemistically, the meaning is obvious: Can you do it? How much gold do you have as capital?

What kind of person is Wang Xuance, he naturally saw through the meaning of old Arupis at a glance, and decided to let the old guy see his confidence.

The next day, the elder Arupis was invited by Wang Xuance to the Glory Opera House, which had become his private property.

Wang Xuance sat on the main seat, waved his hand very magnificently, and ordered his subordinates: "Serve tea!" Finest hair tips. ”

As soon as Old Alupis drank it, he suddenly trembled and exclaimed: "Good tea, good tea, this is the hairy tip ......"

After saying that, he blushed, and psychologically, he immediately succumbed to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance took the opportunity to let old Arupis see his abundant financial resources: the big wooden boxes were full of gold nuggets.

Old Arupis trembled in shock, he had never seen such a rich person, even those elders of the Senate were only a handful of those who could be richer than Wang Xuance.

In the end, Wang Xuance sent a large bag of hair tips to the old Arupis, and then said: "Senior, the younger generation has just come to Rome City and wants to ask the seniors to introduce them. ”

Old Arupis immediately understood that Wang Xuance wanted to invite him as a guide to enter the high society of the city of Rome.

The upper class of the city of Rome is different from the local high society, which is a large family of honorable state, and there are many people whose ancestors have served as consuls, at least from the Senate.

It's not easy to get into such an upper-class society. Just like the Russian tycoon Abramovich in later generations, after arriving in the UK, he used various methods to be difficult to be accepted by the local British high society.

However, Wang Xuance had already shown his strength, and he bought the opera house of old Arupis and sent tea, which helped the old guy in the economic crisis a lot, so the old guy agreed, and came up with an idea: "You can hold an opera party in the opera house, and I will recommend you at the meeting." ”

When Wang Xuance heard this, he was in the middle of it and agreed to the evening in seven days.

After sending off the old Alupis, Wei Xiaokuan said: "Commander, do you really want to have an opera meeting?" Then you have to rehearse as soon as possible and choose a good repertoire. ”

Wang Xuance pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Have a fart opera party, and when the time comes, see how the commander of this sect lets these nobles take out the money." ”

In the following days, Wang Xuance and the Marius family sent a joint invitation to the homes of the city's nobles, saying: "A party will be held at the Glory Opera House......

If Wang Xuance invited him alone, it is estimated that no one would come, but it would be different with Arupis. Despite the decline of the Marius family, the so-called emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the elder Arumis still had a lot of influence in the city of Rome. The pride of old Arupis was known to the Romans, and he admired Wang Xuance very much, and thought that this guy had a great background.

Moreover, the upper class played banquets to deepen communication and increase fame. So, many families sent people here.

On the night of the banquet, the lights inside and outside the opera house flickered, the red carpet was rolled out, and the attendants were well-trained and solemnly dressed, and the hosts were not mortals at first glance.

As night fell, the lights came on, and the carriages arrived, and the nobles walked down, men wearing Roman robes that covered their chests and shoulders, dyed with golden hair.

The women are even more incredible, all of them are Datang LV brands, all kinds of stockings, and high heels are like a forest. Coupled with the "open" clothing of Roman women, it looks exactly the same as the red carpet of Hollywood in later generations.
