Ancient Rome: Start with the legionnaire

Đọc tại sangtacviet.tk

Cassius, who is 70 years old this year, is the speaker of the Senate.

He presides over a lot of things.

But he never gives his opinion!

is a typical neutral.

So I spent 20 years in the position of Speaker.

The elderly Cassius could hardly walk anymore.

Then he went to the high platform of the parliament and took out the papyrus that he had prepared in advance.

“According to the topic raised by Elder Qin Na before! About the expansion of the senate! ”

“In my capacity as Speaker, I would like to tell you that there is no problem with this issue, the Senate has less than 300 members so far, and it is time to add some fresh blood!”

Cassius spoke very slowly.

So that every elder present could hear it very clearly.

“Then move on to the next step! Are there any suitable referrals? ”

At this moment, an elder stood up.

Both Mallo and Sulla were very surprised.

It was Frakus, who had always been silent.

Francus was elected consul in 86 BC.

In his early years, he entered the Senate with strong financial resources.

Now he was one of the richest men in Rome.

Now that he suddenly stood up, did he also have the right person?

“Fracus, do you have the right person?”

Cassius looked at the other and said.

“Of course there is!”

“I recommend the new magnate of Rome, Crassus…”

Meanwhile, outside the Senate, Brian also meets his old acquaintance, Crassus.

“Crassus didn’t expect you to be here too?”

Things got a lot more interesting than expected.

Originally, this door was opened exclusively for Brian.

But he didn’t expect that both Crassus and Cassilom wanted to get a piece of the pie.

“Don’t worry, Brian! This time, as long as you are qualified, you can enter the nursing home, and there is no limit on the number of people! ”

Crassus glanced at Cassirom, and then said meaningfully.

“There is more than one place to enter the Senate, but there is only one place to become a legion leader, as if someone wants to compete with you?”

Brian instantly understood that Cassilom was competing with him for the position of Legion Leader.

Then he suddenly sneered in his heart.

Just this waste can command a legion.

“You want to compete with me for the position of Legion Commander?”

Brian looked at Cassilom with a smile.

If this is not the Senate.

Brian had already cut the other party in the first place.

“Brian! Don’t be proud, the regiment is not your family! ”

After speaking

Not only Brian, but even Sue on the side laughed.

After Malleus’ reforms, there were many drawbacks.

That is, the Republic gave very little military spending to the corps.

Basically, it is self-financed by the individual corps commanders.

If there is no war, being a legion commander is a money-losing business.

And recently there has been no war in Rome for at least five or six years.

Therefore, the corps commander is not a hot position.

What’s more, you want a legion of people for no reason, which is a taboo.

The Senate will not support it either.

“Although it is not my family’s, our family has been raising the Thirteenth Legion!”

Brian snorted coldly and stopped looking at this Erwuzai.

Something that died early on a woman’s belly!

……

Discussions continued within the Senate.

“Elder Ferracus, tell me your opinion and reason!”

Cassius questioned Ferracus according to the charter.

“Clough’s ancestors were Romans for three generations, and his fortune has exceeded 500,000 gold coins! If he can become a senator, it will surely be more of a republic’s tax! ”

500,000 gold coins.

The elders present couldn’t help but gasp.

That’s an astronomical amount.

You know, the purchasing power of a gold coin is quite terrifying.

At the beginning of the Roman Republic, the Senate had an unwritten rule.

That is, the assets of each elder must exceed 100,000 gold coins.

First, to protect the interests of the nobility.

The second is to keep ordinary civilians out.

Fairness, democracy, freedom in name propagated.

But this is impossible.

Like the Gergula reforms decades ago.

It only slightly weakened the interests of the nobles, but was killed by the senators of the Senate in full view.

Knowing when to enter the Senate with his property also became a way.

“Hmm! 500,000 gold coins, you should be able to enter the Senate, but it depends on the opinions of all the senators! ”

Cassius, the president of the senate, scanned the senators present.

However, these elders had some surprises.

Already Crassus is a dark horse who came out halfway.

And there was also Frakus who proposed, this guy is an obvious neutral.

For a while, the senators did not have any good opinions.

“Then take a stand on Crassus’ entry into the Senate!”

Ancient Rome’s statement was very simple.

However, if you want to support a resolution or issue, just stand up.

One after another, someone stood up, most of them neutral.

And the aristocratic faction and the plebeian faction, there were also people who stood up, after all, they wanted to win over the neutrals.

Moreover, Fracus also had great strength in the Senate.

Soon nearly 110 senators stood up.

Cassius, the old man who stepped into the coffin with half a leg.

It took nearly two minutes to count the heads.

“A total of 110 people is already more than half, I announce! Crassus becomes the patriarch of the Roman Republic! ”

“So, who else to recommend!?”

Qin Na stood up directly, he had already been preempted before, and he couldn’t lag behind this time.

“I support Brian, the current deputy commander of the Thirteenth Legion, into the Senate!”

“Then Elder Qin Na, what is your reason?”

“Now Brian has a fortune of more than 1 million gold coins, and he has a gold mine in his hands, paying more than 100,000 gold coins a year for the city of Rome”

“More importantly, Brian is the son of the senator Lucius!”

The plan was obvious, Lucius was now almost 70 years old and had few days left to live, and it was only a matter of time before Brian entered the Senate.

“And Brian has excellent command talent!” _
