Roman Slave Owner

Katilin finally left here in a rage, what should he do?

Now that the news that he is about to be expelled has spread, those lenders will probably pursue their own debts, how can they solve their own debt problems?

Unable to find a way, he found several friends in his Senate, and drank wine sullenly.

Although he borrowed a lot of money, he was very generous, so he was surrounded by a group of veterans.

"It's not that I don't help you, and you don't know my situation. I also owe a debt, I'm afraid they will catch me. Yesterday I went to see Belieus and almost asked him to call him grandpa. ."

The former justice Longinus said with a wry smile.

"Li Wei's power is too great now. Mettrus's family is dead in his hands. Even the inspector is on his side. The Senate dare not say anything. What can we senators do?"

Said another friend of his, Manlius.

"It's very unfair, we must change everything."

Katilin said angrily.

"How to change? He has money and soldiers, unless we can raise troops to defeat him, otherwise we have nothing to do with him."

Manlius said.

"You're right, we must raise up troops to defeat him."

Katilin said viciously.

"You are not crazy, now he has more than 8 legions in his hand, how can you compare with him?"

Longinus said.

Katilin thought for a while, and finally lowered his head with a sullen expression.

Even Pompey and Crassou acquiesced in his strength, what can he do.

"Are you the veteran of Katilin?"

At this time a slave came over and said.

"Yes, who are you?"

Katilin glanced at him and said.

"Is my master please?"

"Who is your master?"

"Crasso."

In an alley in Subra District, Li Wei came here with a large number of guards.

Along the way, there were all kinds of debris and domestic waste water falling from upstairs, making the air full of unpleasant smells, which made Li Wei consider whether to introduce a sanitation law.

Living in this environment for a long time is very unfavorable to people's health, and it is easy to cause plague.

Seeing Li Wei's 12 ceremonial guards, those passers-by knew who they were. They were all extremely excited and surrounded them one after another.

Li Wei had no choice but to shake hands with them one by one.

I got rid of them with difficulty, and finally came to a somewhat dilapidated Roman-style house.

Brutim, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him immediately and said softly, "He is still inside."

Li Wei nodded slightly, "You lead the way."

Brutim immediately took the lead in the yard, and the people in the yard were very surprised by the sudden arrival of Li Wei and others.

Before they could react, they had gone to an attic.

"Their family of six, in addition to the mother, there are two younger brothers, a wife and a newborn son. They all live on the third floor in two rented rooms, and they have to pay 300 dinars a year in rent. Now his life is very difficult, and Ventidius has just been fired by his boss."

Brutim introduced him to the Ventidius family.

While listening, Li Wei looked at the living conditions here.

Although Li Wei knew about it beforehand, he was shocked to see these residents.

Some families with a few people live in a small room. The room is full of beds and all kinds of sundries, and there is almost no place to go.

The corridors are also full of cooking utensils and other things, and many places only allow one person to pass through.

Rome is expensive and hard to live.

Just like the later generations of Beijing, don’t people live in the basement or even the sewer?

When we arrived in a dimly lit room, a female voice came from inside.

"Can't you take care of your temper? Why are you fighting again? What do you do now?"

"You don't know that that guy has too many shares, let me do all the dirty work, and often call me idiots, fools, how do you make me bear it."

"What about the rent for the second half of the year? If we don't pay, we will be kicked out."

"I'll go to Xiaojiatu to figure out a solution, and see if I can borrow some first."

Hearing this, Li Wei's heart moved.

According to historical records, Ventidius seemed to be with Little Cato at the beginning, and when he came to Rome, he checked and found that he turned out to be Catto’s doorman.

At this moment Brutim knocked on the door.

"Who."

Said the male voice inside.

"Excuse me, is it Publius Ventidius?"

Brutim said.

At this time the door opened, and a young man who was less than twenty years old appeared at the door.

In fact, he is only 18 years old this year. The ancient Romans started a family very early. He was married last year and recently had a son.

"who are you looking for?"

He was shocked when he saw Li Wei, "Are you Li Wei Archon?"

"Yes, you are Publius Ventidius?"

Li Wei smiled and looked at the young man at the same time.

I saw him with curly black hair, piercing eyes, and not very tall, about 1.7 meters tall.

"Yes...Is there anything wrong with you?"

Ventidius said in surprise.

At this time, a young teenage woman came out from behind the door with a baby in her arms. After seeing Li Wei, she couldn't help her mouth, and said in disbelief: "Li Wei...consultant."

"Can we go in and talk?"

Li Wei said with a smile.

"of course can."

"Please come in."

The two hurriedly said, and then they cleaned the house, trying to make a clean place, and finally only sorted out a chair.

"Really hug Qian, the house is really messy."

The young woman said apologetically, and at the same time there were small stars in her eyes, obviously full of admiration for Li Wei.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Wei sat down on that chair, "I took the liberty of visiting this time, I was looking for Ventidius to discuss something."

"whats the matter?"

Ventidius said with a puzzled face, he didn't understand what Li Wei could do with him.

"Do you believe in the holy religion?"

Li Wei asked.

Ventidius looked embarrassed and was about to deny it, but was grabbed by the young woman.

"He believed it, and both of his younger brothers believed it."

Hearing this, Li Wei looked weird.

As far as he knows, Ventidius is not a registered church member. His two younger brothers are indeed, because they all go to church schools.

"This is easier."

Li Wei said with a smile, this is actually better.

"Would you like to be an officer in the Crusade? It's just that you haven't received much professional training. We need to train you for a while."

"Why is this? Why are you asking me to become an officer?"

Ventidius looked dumbfounded. If he hadn't actually met Li Wei, he would have thought that he was a liar.

He was an ordinary citizen, and someone invited him to be an officer.

"Because the true **** told me that if you are willing to serve in the Crusades, you will build great deeds."

Li Wei said.

Upon hearing this, the young woman couldn't help opening her mouth wide, and Ventidius was shocked.

Even Brutim and the others looked at Ventidius with shocked eyes. The effectiveness of Levy's prophecy is well known to the Romans. Could it be that this little guy in front of him is really a general.

"This...I...I..."

Ventidius didn't know what to say, he felt it was bad to lie, but he was very eager for Li Wei's proposal, which made him very contradictory.

"He agreed."

The young woman rushed to say that now there are young children waiting to be fed at home, and the rent cannot be paid.

If they don't want to make money, they will be driven out of this attic.

Ventidius glanced at her dissatisfiedly, but finally acquiesced.

"This is really great, so in a few days I will ask you to take you to the Dragon City School for training. As long as you pass the training, you will be a centurion. The training period is also paid. If you need it, you can find Bruti M advances."

Li Wei said very empathetic.

"This is really great."

The young woman exclaimed.

They talked for a while before Li Wei left here.

A famous general is included in the bag, although it is still very fresh, but it still makes Li Wei feel good.

Several horses stopped in front of a residence in Subra District, and Caesar looked at the house with joy.

A year after leaving Rome, he returned.

He knocked on the door very skillfully, and a slave looked surprised when he opened the door.

"Master, why are you back?"

"There's something wrong, are my mother and Kornelia at home?"

Caesar asked.

"The old lady is at home, but the young lady is not here. Why don't I give a report?"

"No, I'll surprise her."

Caesar finished speaking and handed the horse to the slave, and then secretly walked to his own house.

Soon he found that his mother was talking to a female slave, and the female slave saw him.

Caesar quickly made a silent gesture, then hugged his mother, and then said very enthusiastically: "Mom, I'm back."

Alleria was startled at first, and was surprised and delighted when she found out that it was Caesar.

"Caesar! Why are you back?"

"The governor sent me back to do business, and I want to do one more thing at the same time."

Caesar said.

According to Roman law, 10 of the 20 financial officers generally have to accompany the governors of the provinces to the provinces, and the other 10 will stay in Rome.

After becoming a treasurer last year, he was sent to Spain to work with the Governor.

"what's up?"

Alleria asked.

"Is Mettrus dead?"

"Yes, you didn't go to see it at the time. The Mettrus family was really miserable."

Alleria sighed and said.

She has experienced all the massacres in Rome for so many years. She thought she had been bearish, but she was still a little uncomfortable after hearing about the end of the Mettrus family.

"Political struggle is always so cruel."

Caesar said, "Where is Cornelia?"

"She has something to go out, what the **** is it with you?"

"I want to run for the chief priest."

Caesar said with a smile.

"what did you say?"

Alleria was shocked by her, she did not expect that Caesar would have taken a fancy to the position of the chief priest.

"Do you think about it again."

Alleria said with a serious face.

"why?"

Caesar asked.

"You are still young. It is not easy to be the chief priest, and Li Wei wants Cicero to come out as the chief priest. In case you make Li Wei dissatisfied, I am worried that he will drive you out of the Senate. You don't I know how tense the situation in Rome is recently. More than 70 senators have been purged from the Senate by Li Wei. Not only because they are Li Wei’s political opponents, but because they owe a lot of debts, I remember you owe them too. less."

Alleria said.

Caesar did make a lot of money during the campaign, but he spent more money faster, so he quickly became a glorious big bearer.

"I didn't expect Li Wei to be so prestigious now."

Caesar said with a smile.

"You're still laughing, but I'm telling you business. Even if you want to run for the election, you will finally ask him for his opinion. Although you have a good relationship with him, it is better to be careful about some things."

Alleria said.

"I see, Mom, I will visit him in two days."

Caesar said.

"It's pretty much the same. Make more friends when you have time, so that you don't offend others. Don't learn from Metellus. In the end, it hurts the whole family."

Alleria said.

She wanted to persuade Caesar not to be an official, but she knew it was impossible.

This is the destiny of the nobles, every noble is desperately adding glory to himself and his family, or what awaits them is the decline of the family.

Caesar nodded repeatedly, then coaxed Alleria, and quickly coaxed her to smile.

On the streets of Rome, Caesar and Aetius are walking.

Since the two are very close, Aetius knew he was back for the first time, so he asked him out to chat.

"How are you doing in Spain? I heard that the barbarians there are very upset~www.readwn.com~ said Etius.

"It's really restless, but they are not our opponents."

A confident smile appeared on Caesar's face, "I heard that you took refuge in Li Wei."

"Yes, it's forced by the situation, and it's just a marginal figure."

Aetius sighed and said, "My origin is not good. It's not like you are a descendant of a nobleman. Those Roman dignitaries look down on me, so I can only rely on him."

"Will they look down on you? I heard that they have been courting civilian protection officers, right."

Caesar said with a smile.

"I did win over me, but it's really uncomfortable to get along with them. Some people still say something about the aristocratic accent of ancient Rome, and I can't stand it."

Aetius said.

"Haha, some people are like that, they always want to emphasize their noble blood, ignore them."

"By the way, why are you coming back so early?"

"I want to be the chief priest, I hope you can help me."

Caesar glanced at him and said.

"No problem, just ask if you need it. I have a few friends in the Senate, and I will ask them to help when the time comes."

Aetius patted his chest and said.

"Haha, thank you so much."

Caesar said happily, unexpectedly Aetius had also accumulated some contacts in the Senate.

At this moment, a bell rang in the distance.

They approached a church unknowingly and found a couple of newlyweds walking out of the church.

"Are they getting married?"

Caesar said.

"Yes, there are more and more believers in the holy religion. Especially young people, many of them do not go to the temple to get married, but choose the church."

Aetius says
