Roman Slave Owner

　　 In a military camp in Africa, an old man smiled on his face, "He is finally back."

　　 Li Wei is also making final preparations for this. He decided to transfer deputy military guards, deputy centurions and deputy tenth officers from the First Army, and then organize all the slaves and gladiators into a new corps.

　　 A new army is taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. These slaves have been soldiers before. The foundation is very good. In addition, they are equipped with a large number of grass-roots officers. With a little training, they will be a combat-capable army.

　　 "How is the mood of those slaves."

　　 Li Wei asked.

　　 "They are all very happy. Since they were free, you have been grateful to the owner of the house."

　　 Getta said.

　　 Just like before, Li Wei gave them freedom, but he asked them to work for himself for ten years in return, but he would only pay a very low salary, which would greatly reduce his expenses.

　　 You have to know that it is quite difficult to support two legions, not to mention that there is still a battle now, and the cost is even more amazing.

　　 Even so, those slaves are still ecstatic. As Roman slaves, it is too difficult to be free slaves.

　　 A benevolent existence like Li Wei is simply unique.

　　 "That's good."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 Now his biggest headache is money, because his expenses are so great.

　　 The total amount of weapons and armor used by the three legions is close to 2.5 million dinars. Coupled with the construction of a new city and the payment of their salaries, all of these have made Li Wei's wallet more and more dry.

Although he bought a lot of food and weapons, as long as he resells them, it is a lot of money, but these are the most valuable things in the troubled times. Li Wei is not willing to sell them. It seems that he has to find a way to increase the amount of alcohol and sugar. The sales are strong.

　　 "One more thing, the Senate granted the consul the right to enlist citizens from all over the world. What do you think Norbanus would do if he conquered my army."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 Although Roman citizens had the right not to serve after the Mario reforms, once authorized by the Senate, Roman officials could still enlist citizens into the army.

　　 Just like when Pompey expeditioned to pirates, the Senate gave Pompey immense power.

　　 The consul who brought troops to Capua this time was Nobanus. In the last election of Nobanus, he asked him for help but he refused. It was embarrassing now.

"This one…"

　　 Getta is also a little worried, what if Novanus treats their legion as cannon fodder.

　　 "In any case, we have to fight for a good condition."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 Getta is also very impressed, for example, let him be a lieutenant or something.

　　 With the strength of the Li Wei family, his desire to make contributions and careers has become more and more high.

"Recently, the Capuja Senate discussed the city defense matters. Serrabio proposed that you be the city defense officer responsible for all the city defense affairs. Because you don’t know what you mean, this resolution was not passed. My idea is to agree to his proposal. The three legions are still under your command."

　　 Getta said.

　　 "This is a good way."

　　 Li Wei's eyes lit up and said.

　　 What he wants to do is to cooperate with Sura to take Capua, and let him be a city defense officer, don’t he send the chicken to the fox’s den?

　　 And I have to recruit my people to take charge of the city defense. You have to pay for the salary, so you save a lot of money.

　　 Li Wei suddenly found that his previous vision was too narrow. As a master slave owner and capitalist, he should try to subsidize himself with state money.

　　 "Yes, just do it like this."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 "In addition, I have an idea, I wonder if I can be a lieutenant. As long as I can be a lieutenant, I will be able to defeat Sura..."

　　 Getta was a little embarrassed at first, after all, it's always bad to reach out for officials.

　　 But I soon adapted, and began to brag desperately, hoping to get Li Wei's support.

　　 "Cough...cough..."

　　 Li Wei suddenly coughed desperately.

　　 "Patriarch, what's wrong with you."

　　 Getta asked.

　　 "It's nothing, my heart is tired..."

　　 Li Wei said with a helpless look, he was to blame for this. After all, he was so messy and he didn't tell many things.

　　 For example, he planned to take refuge in Sura, only he and Valence knew about it, not even Yulia.

　　 "Just talk about it, maybe I can help."

　　 Getta said earnestly.

　　 Li Wei looked at him speechlessly, can I say go away?

　　 At this moment, a slave came in.

　　 "Report to the owner that Valence is back."

　　 Hearing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up.

　　 "Let him in quickly."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 "I haven't seen Valence for a long time, did he come back at this time and our shop was suppressed by Sura..."

　　 Getta started his brain supplement.

　　 Li Wei's hand holding the water glass was already trembling, and his forehead turned into a word "Chuan".

　　 "Guita, aren't you busy?"

　　 "You are not busy, the things that should be busy are already done."

　　 "Then lead the Third Army to a three-roman mile fully armed cross-country (one mile is 1480 meters), and you run together."

　　 "Why..."

　　 Gaita gaped his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter if you let the soldiers run, why do you want him to run with him?"

　　 "Because this is an order."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　Guita understood immediately, UU read www.uukanshu. Com, this must have offended the Patriarch by saying the wrong thing.

　　 Forget it, don't care about the owner of the house.

　　 Getta forgave Li Wei generously, and then went off-road with the Third Army.

　　 It didn't take long for Valence to walk in with four people.

　　 "It's been a long time, Valence."

　　 Li Wei said with a smile, and then Valence hugged each other.

"they are…"

　　 Li Wei looked at the people behind Valence and said.

　　 "Sura's guard ten captain Hadrianus, met the respected Li Wei."

　　 A stubborn guy came out and said.

　　Although Li Wei was very young, he did not dare to underestimate Li Wei.

　　 One person can build a small city with one's own power, and even sits on two big legions. This is definitely not what ordinary people can do.

　　 "They were sent by Sura to contact us and coordinate our actions."

　　 Valence gave Levi a wink and said.

　　 Li Wei nodded, "That's it, everyone has worked hard, please sit down."

　　 "No, our current identity is Valence's subordinates, so it was found inappropriate."

　　 Hadrianus said.

　　 Li Wei nodded, it seems that Sura sent a reliable person.

　　 "A lot of things I haven't told my subordinates yet, and you also know that there are many people talking, and if something goes out, it will be troublesome. When your army arrives, I will abide by our agreement."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 "We understand."

　　Hadrianus said with a smile.

　　 The geographic location of Capua is extremely important, and the Romans like to build various roads.

　　 The ancient Romans already used volcanic ash to make a set of cement to build roads for quick deployment of troops.
