Chapter 522 Daqin's Influence in the World
In the city of Rome, in the residence of the highest consul.
At this time, Scipio was dealing with important events from all over Rome, and some things about the new law code.
But Scipio didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, he felt joyful and energetic!
Because this is the first time he has enjoyed the power due to this position since he became the supreme consul of Rome.
In the past, although he was said to be the highest consul in Rome and the most powerful person in Rome on the surface, he was actually just a puppet pushed by the nobles for the world to see.
As long as it is a major military and political matter, it basically needs the consent of the nobles. If they do not agree, no matter how hard Scipio tries, it will be impossible to implement it.
It would be fine if these nobles followed their wishes, they would not have the idea of changing people for the time being, and Scipio could still have the right to make decisions about some trivial matters.
But if Scipio dared to have any rebellious heart against them, or even violated their interests, let alone the official position of the highest consul in Rome, I am afraid that even his life would be in danger!
But since marrying Da Qin, after marrying the legendary Prince Da Qin, everything has changed!
His status soared like a rocket. Not only did he have the right to make independent decisions in front of various political affairs, but various new laws, such as the abolition of tax exemption rights for nobles, gave the green light and could be passed soon.
This gave Scipio a real sense of power, and let him know what it was like to be the highest consul in Rome.
Moreover, those great nobles who usually don't even give a shit about him are starting to take the initiative to make friends with Scipio at this moment, faintly wanting to establish a good relationship with him.
Even the members of the Cornelius clan had a very different attitude towards him.
They used to rely on Scipio to be supported by them. The people of the Cornelius clan have always looked arrogant, and they are even more eager to come and go when they call Scipio, as if 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 humiliation silently.
Now it has undergone a 180-degree change. The Cornelius clan often sends people over to greet him and get in touch with him.
They even unconditionally supported the decisions made by Scipio in political affairs, and they treated Scipio like a real family. Compared with before, it was simply a world of difference!
"It's just a name, and those nobles who are usually lawless can't hold their heads up. Is this the majesty of Qin, the world's most powerful country!"
Scipio couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a hot figure walked in from the outside.
"Your Excellency the Consul, the information from Daqin has been sent over."
Seeing the smug look on Scipio's face, the beauty said with a smile on her face:
"Recently, Your Excellency the Consul's face is full of red, and I feel that the whole person is much younger. It is in line with the words of the people of Daqin, people are in good spirits when there are happy events."
"Really? Haha, I don't feel anything myself."
"Let's talk about business first, what new information did Daqin send?"
Scipio said seriously.
"As for the wedding date between Sophie and Prince Ying Yu, Daqin has already decided on the eighth day of the next month. According to Daqin, this day is an auspicious day, and holding a wedding on this day can make Sophie and Yingyu happy." Prince Yu can receive blessings from the gods."
"And in order to celebrate the marriage between Daqin and Rome, Daqin will invite countries from all over the world to attend the wedding banquet. At that time, all the famous countries should send envoys. Such a grand occasion has never been seen before."
Having said that, a look of longing appeared on the beauty's face.
"It's not just a country with head and face. With Daqin's current influence in the world, I am afraid that all countries that have heard of Daqin's name will send envoys. After all, this is an excellent opportunity to show favor to Daqin. They will never give up. Then This is the real coming of all nations.”
"But you reminded me that Sophie is my daughter, the princess of Rome. Although this status is very honorable, she is about to marry the prince of Daqin. In this way, the status of the highest consul's daughter is not enough. Got it."
"For this reason, I decided to canonize Sophie as the eldest princess of Rome, and gave her a seat in the Senate to enjoy the most honorable courtesy in Rome."
Scipio thought for a while and said.
This surprised the beauty on the side.
It's nothing to be named the eldest princess. After all, Sophie is the daughter of the highest consul in Rome, and she comes from the largest family. Her status is no different from that of a Roman princess. The eldest princess is just adding an actual name to her. That's all.
But granting seats in the Senate is different.
Because having a seat in the Senate means that Sophie can directly participate in Rome's political affairs in the name of a member of the Senate in the future, and also has a part of the veto power. There is no such precedent in the entire history of Rome!
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 history of Rome, and also the first princess to have a seat in the Senate!
But when she thought about the person Her Royal Highness Sophie was about to marry, the beauty instantly felt relieved.
Great Qin Crown Prince Ying Yu, he was the one who brought the whole Great Qin into a new era with his own strength!
Not only has invincible achievements, but also has various high-energy technologies far beyond the ancient and modern. People like this, according to Daqin's words, are the sages of the world, the living gods.
In front of Ying Yu, what does a Senate seat count?
I'm afraid that even if Scipio gave up his position as the highest consul to Sophie, he would still not be able to catch people's eyes.
The reason why Xibei did this is actually a way to show his favor to Daqin.
Today's Scipio does not dare to neglect Da Qin in the slightest. He is very clear in his heart that the reason why he can raise his head in front of the Roman nobles, and the reason why he can have the current power and status is all because of Da Qin standing behind him. !
There is no way, Daqin is too powerful!
And this kind of strength is not only at the military level, but also lies in the pervasive economic penetration.
Because Daqin's manufacturing technology is far more developed than that of Rome, the tea, white sugar, down jackets and other commodities they produce are extremely popular in Rome.
The most important point is that these products are difficult to imitate in Rome. Even if some of them can be imitated, the quality cannot be compared with that produced in Daqin.
Therefore, many people would rather buy more expensive Daqin products than cheap Roman junk.
It is precisely because of this that the market share of Roman local products has been continuously compressed, while the market share of Daqin products has been rapidly expanding.
Today, almost [-]% of the goods in Roman shops come from Daqin. It can be said that almost every household is full of products made in Daqin.
