"No," Antonio was startled by Han Zhan's assumption. However, after a brief panic, he retorted: "Mr. Anyang Hou, I think what you mentioned does not exist."

Han Zhan didn't expect that the other party would question his statement, so he asked casually: "Why?"

"Marquis!" After Antonio called Han Zhan according to Rome's custom, he said with a sensation: "Our Majesty Commod is at the age of young and strong, and can rule for at least thirty years.

You might say, what if someone rebelled? You don't have to worry about this, the elite guards under his command are enough to crush any army that attempts to rebel and maintain the stability of the empire."

If Han Zhan didn't know the real history, he might really agree with Antonio's statement. After all, it would be normal for an emperor who was supported by the army and the people to rule a country for a long time.

Antonio told everyone about the series of achievements made by Commod after he ascended the throne. Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others listened with relish, but Han Zhan was absent-minded. He was not sure whether the Roman emperor would still admit the various agreements he owed with the Han Dynasty if he had replaced him.

Thinking about this, Han Zhan became less interested in whether to trade with the Roman Empire. He did not want to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to organize a huge caravan to the distant Roman Empire.

Maybe it took two or three years to arrive at the distant Rome. Severu, the founder of the Severu Dynasty, would kill the merchants of the caravan and take all the goods for himself. Even if he got the news, he could only stare at him. He could not travel thousands of miles to go to the expedition for hundreds of merchants, right?

After Antonio finished speaking, Han Zhan said absent-mindedly: "Antonio, I will take you to attack the Secret Saint tomorrow. After you will be in the inn tonight, remember to take a shower and change your clothes." The reason why Han Zhan said this was because although the Romans loved to take a bath, their body sensation was still a little heavy. If he was asked to go to the Secret Saint in the Palace and extinguish Emperor Xian of Han, who would be responsible at that time?

After chatting for a while, Han Zhan saw the meal? He called Rob. He asked him to arrange a banquet to entertain Antonio from afar. Considering that Antonio comes from the West, which mainly focuses on meat, Han Zhan also specifically ordered Rob to prepare a roast lamb leg for the other party.

After the meal, Han Zhan glanced at Antonio from time to time, wanting to see how he ate. But what happened next surprised him, because Antonio not only did not use the chopsticks placed on several tables, nor did he take out any knife or fork? Instead, he directly used a small knife he carried with him to cut off the meat from the lamb leg, and then inserted it into his mouth with the tip of the knife.

After watching for a while, Han Zhan couldn't help but ask Antonio: "Antonio? You always cut meat with a knife when eating meat? Then you can use the tip of the knife to eat?"

"Yes, Marquis, we usually eat this way."

"Why don't you use a fork?"

"Fork?!" Hearing the word Han Zhan said, Antonio showed a confused expression on his face. After a long time, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Marquis, can I ask? What is a fork?"

This question stopped Han Zhan.

In his impression? Europeans seem to have been using knife and fork fork fork for history. But judging from Antonio's reaction, he doesn't seem to know what a fork is. It seems that it is? Fork has not yet been published in this dynasty.

Seeing Antonio looking at him with anticipation? Hope to get the answer he wanted from him? Han Zhan thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Antonio, don't you think you should use something to fix the legs of lamb when cutting mutton?"

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Antonio immediately raised his left hand and replied: "Mr. Marquis, have you not seen it just now? When I was cutting mutton, I held the lamb leg with my left hand so that it would not move around during the cutting process."

"Antonio, the method you mentioned can indeed fix the lamb legs." Han Zhan said calmly: "But have you ever thought about it? After you finish eating like this, your left hand will be covered with oil. If you can't find the water, how should you wash your hands?"

Han Zhan's words made Antonio ponder. After a long time, he asked, "Dear Marquis, do you have any good solutions?"

Han Zhan divided the chopsticks in his hand into two, holding one in each hand. He pressed the mutton on the plate with the chopsticks in his left hand, then raised the chopsticks in his right hand, and said to Antonio: "Antonio, for example, the chopstick in my hand is the knife you often use, and is responsible for cutting meat."

After comparing a meat-cutting position, he continued: "The chopstick held in his left hand is equivalent to a fork. It not only fixes the food so that I don't move around when cutting, but also forks and puts the food into my mouth after cutting, so that my hands will not get dirty."

Not only did Antonio understand Han Zhan's in-depth explanation, but even Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others on the side suddenly realized it.

Antonio asked tentatively: "Mr. Marquis, the young one already knows the purpose of the fork, but what shape should the fork be?"

"You should know the trident in the hands of the sea god Poseidon?"

"I know." Antonio nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice and replied: "Poseidon is the legendary sea god of Greece, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the god of horses, and Zeus's brother. According to legend, he gave the first horse to mankind, and his mount was a golden chariot driven by a white horse..."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu can understand every word Antonio said, but when they are combined, they are confused. Greece, Olympus, and Zeus are the first time they have heard of it, and they don’t know what it is.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and were shocked in each other's eyes. A thought arose in their minds: "The lord is really unfathomable. He can understand the Great Qin Kingdom so far away tens of thousands of miles away."

After seeing Antonio away, Xun Yu asked Han Zhan for instructions: "Lord, I will bring the envoy of the Great Qin Kingdom to meet Your Majesty tomorrow. If Your Majesty asks if he should engage in trade with the Great Qin Kingdom, how should we reply?"

"Business is a good thing," Han Zhan shook his head and said, "But the Great Qin State is too far away from our great Han Dynasty. It will take at least several years for the caravans to go back and forth. If the monarch of the country covets our goods and kills our merchants, we can only be helpless. We can't just fight tens of thousands of miles away for hundreds of merchants."

After hearing Han Zhan's words, Xun Yu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "What the lord said is extremely true. The foreign countries think they are capricious. It seems that this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

"Master!" Guo Jia and Xun Yu finished speaking, asked tentatively: "I wonder if my lord is willing to go to court together tomorrow?"
