Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 27: 10,000 people

Serapio blushed, knowing that he had underestimated Li Wei, and he still treated him as a child after all.

"Anyway, your news is very important to me, tell me their plan, and I will give you what you want."

Levi said.

He was not afraid of Serapio's concealment, since he had said so much, he had already killed himself.

Serabio gritted his teeth and said, "I think we should talk in another place."

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Go talk to my guard."

Serapio nodded, the two separated temporarily, and then came to Li Wei's guards one after another.

Ignoring Yulia's surprise, Li Wei asked them to spread out and pretend that nothing happened.

"Actually, I didn't hear this matter clearly. I just vaguely heard that they will start with your slaves."

Serabio said.

Start with my slaves, my slaves never come out once they enter that door, how do they do it?

"Send someone to sneak in?"

Levi asked.

"Probably not, but I can help you find out. I know many people in their house well."

Serabio said.

Li Wei thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Did you know that a great man is coming to our Capua?"

Serabio said.

Li Wei shook his head, only then did he feel that his news was really blocked.

Roman Senator Nias? Doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Lucius Cornelia Scipio Africanus!"

Serabio said.

In Rome, a person’s origin can basically be seen from his full name, such as Lucius Cornelia Scipio Africanus, which means that he is from the Cornelia family , Scipio Africanus represents him from the Scipio family who captured Carthage in the Punic War, because Scipio the Little captured Carthage, so he won the title of African Conqueror, that is, Africanus , and permanently added it to his family name.

"So it was him?"

Li Wei said with some surprise that the Punic War was the most difficult war fought by Rome.

Hannibal once ran rampant in Rome and no one could control it. It is precisely because of this that Scipio, who eliminated Carthage, has always had an extremely high reputation.

With the glory of the ancestors, Scipio's gate will also give birth to several Roman consuls from time to time.

"What is he here for?"

Levi asked.

"He intends to be the consul next year and hopes to get the support of some wealthy families."

Serabio said.

The corners of Li Wei's mouth were slightly raised, that's why.

"You mean to get me the support of Scipio."

Levi said.

"Yes, I can connect you, but you must show greater value than the administrator and the admiral combined."

Serabio said.

Li Wei nodded, he understands this, isn't it the number and money of Roman citizens, this is what he is best at.

"Well, you will contact me later, just say that I will not let him down. I will further increase my guards, and I plan to increase my guards to a legion, no, it is 10,000 people. And all Both are Roman citizens, and I am willing to subsidize him with 500,000 dinars."

Levi said.

Now that he has offended the two giants of Capua's military and government, it's time to make a full-scale move, and there is no room for him to hold back anything.

Guta has a large number of soldiers in his hands, and two thousand guards are not enough to make Scipio completely fall to him, so the gap must be widened, and it is a decisive gap.

As the saying goes, breaking all laws with one force, as long as there are enough Roman citizens in hand, there is nothing difficult to beat Li Wei.

Hearing this, Serabio gasped, ten thousand people!

That's a scary number!

"Do you... really want to recruit so many people?"

Serapio said with a look of shock.

"I plan to join the army when I become an adult. I hope to make achievements on the battlefield. Let's practice now."

Levi said.

Serabio felt dizzy for a while, and decided to recruit the guards of the two legions just to practice, which is too rich.

And if he really has two legions of Roman citizens, then Livi can almost settle the matter of Capua.

That was real power, and Serapio was secretly thankful he got it right this time.

"I think Scipio will agree to meet you."

Serabio said excitedly, "Can I ask one more thing?"

"What's up"

"Do you think I can be your doorman?"

Serapio asked.

"why?"

Li Wei looked at him in surprise.

"If one day you go to Rome, I hope you can take me with you."

Serabio said.

Li Wei saw the raging fire of unyielding in his eyes, this is definitely an ambitious person.

"no problem."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Thank you so much, Patriarch."

Serapio said with a smile.

After Serabio left, it didn't take long for Levi to leave Tullius Manor.

Yulia had already heard about what happened at the banquet, and she said worriedly: "You shouldn't be like this, what should we do?"

"If you dare to reach out to the white sugar formula, I will chop off their claws."

Li Wei said coldly.

"They are the administrator of Capua and the admiral of Campania."

Julia said dissatisfied.

"I'm not what I used to be. Money can't solve everything, but it can solve many things, including this one."

Li Wei said with a light smile, "Tell Geta when you go back and let him come to see me. I will increase my guards by 10,000 people, and all guards must be citizens of Capua."

Yulia looked at him in shock, "Why do we need so many people? We need to spend at least three million dinars every year to maintain such a large guard."

"After the coming-of-age ceremony, I decided to serve in the army. I made great achievements on the battlefield and made my family famous."

Levi said.

Sura also called back after his coming-of-age ceremony, and at that time, it was justifiable to take them to the battlefield.

Yulia looked at Li Wei with some doubts. Li Wei used to be cowardly and didn't like joining the army very much. How has it changed now?

But soon she suppressed these thoughts, "It may not be easy to recruit another 10,000 citizens in Capua. There are only 100,000 people in Capua, and a considerable number of them are slaves. If women, children and the elderly are deducted, the real There are fewer than 20,000 adult male citizens."

"Then go to the surrounding villages to recruit. If necessary, you can waive the age requirement. You only need to be a guard for five years. You can even waive the requirement of being a doorman, but there is one thing that cannot be waived. You must support me politically."

Levi said.

"Understood, just the citizens of two legions will be able to pay them?"

Julia said.

"That's enough, I'm going to turn Capua upside down."

Li Wei said confidently.

No matter how many Roman Senates there are, he really can't sit still. He even suspects that the two legions may attract the interference of the Roman Senate. After all, the situation is too sensitive now.
