Roman Slave Owner

Caesar froze for a moment, and then asked, "Really? Are there many cases like this?"

"There are many church schools all over the city of Rome, and children of citizens are exempted from tuition. Now those under the age of 20 are basically believers of the Holy Church."

said Aetius.

Although Caesar had known about this for a long time, when he saw this scene, he was still a little angry.

Don't they all pay attention to the traditions of Rome? If this continues, the Church of God in Rome will completely decline.

"I heard that someone else plans to change their name?"

"change name?"

"Yes, they plan to change it to the name in the "Holy Book". I feel that the names there are more favored by the true gods. Of course, this is only a minority."

said Aetius.

"How could they do this, even changing their own surnames."

Caesar's face changed, he said while suppressing his anger.

Aetius watched him carefully, always keeping his mission in mind.

"Who knows, maybe they are too pious. In fact, I don't agree with this. I am a devout follower of Venus."

"You're nice, and so am I."

Caesar patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Although Caesar had a smile on his face, Aetius still found the haze hidden in his eyes.

In the Vatican, Li Wei and Emilia were talking while waiting for a guest, and this person was Caesar.

"Catiline was kicked out of the Senate by you, don't worry now."

Emilia smiled while lying on the recliner.

Over the past month, Li Wei has carried out a major cleansing of the Senate.

More than 70 senators were driven out of the Senate by him, and Li Wei's control over the Senate reached a new peak.

If Crassus and Pompey hadn't rescued some elders, I'm afraid there would be more elders who were purged.

Now the Senate has almost become Li Wei's monopoly. Although many elders are extremely dissatisfied, they can only endure it.

They knew that Li Wei's time in Rome was numbered, and as long as he left, nothing could be said.

"I don't feel like it's enough."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

He got the news that Crassus had secretly met with Catiline some time ago, and he didn't know what they said.

However, he didn't think it was a good word. Many people in the previous life said that Crassus was involved in the Catiline Rebellion, but because Crassus was too powerful, no one dared to question him.

"Does he have to die?"

Emilia asked.

Li Wei was silent, if Catiline died, at least thousands of people could be saved.

He hesitated whether to let him be tried to death at the Citizens' Assembly or quietly send someone to kill him. As long as he lost his status as a senator, killing Catiline was nothing.

"That's right."

Li Wei quickly made up his mind and sent someone to assassinate Catiline, which would save him worry and trouble.

"Even if Catiline is gone, Pompey still needs to designate a province, and he also needs ten legions of troops and the right to go to war. What should we do?"

Emilia said.

She wasn't worried about Catiline, but if Pompey made a mess, I'm afraid Li Wei would have to come back to rescue him.

"He thinks too much, he should draw lots honestly."

Li Wei said lightly.

Since you choose to be right with him, don't expect any privileges. And there are only two provinces, with a term of five years.

"Li Wei, you are really amazing."

Emilia kissed him lightly and said that she just liked Li Wei's domineering look.

"I will add the administrators of Capua, Pompeii, and Naples to the Senate in the past few years, and give you a Senate that you can control. But don't be careless, they will fight back desperately. Listen to the West Caesar can also listen to what Sero and the others say. But you must keep a distance from Caesar, that kid is not a good guy, he specializes in seducing women from good families."

Li Wei said with a warning look.

As the saying goes, fire prevention, theft prevention and Caesar protection, if Caesar dares to do something sorry for him,

He promises to bring regret into this world.

He is not Pompey and Crassus, not so generous about such things.

"I know, I'm getting tired of hearing it."

Emilia said softly.

At this moment, a slave came in.

"Master, Caesar is here."

"That's right, let's welcome him."

Levi said.

Walking into the Vatican again, Caesar found that there were many more guards in the Vatican.

If it weren't for the constant presence of slaves, the Vatican would look more like a military camp.

It is said that Li Wei Vatican stationed a legion of guards, presumably the Senate must be very concerned about this legion.

Under the leadership of a guard, Caesar came to a palace and found Li Wei and Emilia waiting for him in front of the palace.

"Welcome, Caesar, I didn't expect you to come back so early."

Li Wei laughed and said, and then gave him a bear hug.

"It's such a pleasure to see you, I've been hearing about you all over the place for the past two days."

Caesar said.

"No way, I have too many enemies, I can only clear them first."

Levi said.

Caesar wants to shake Emilia's hand, but Li Wei pulls away.

It is really indecent to shake hands between men and women.

Ignoring Caesar's astonishment, Li Wei dragged him into the palace.

"After knowing that you came back, I wanted to invite you as a guest, but I didn't expect you to come first. You are doing well in Spain, right?"

Levi said.

"It's okay, the governor is taking good care of me."

Caesar said.

"Why did you come back so early?"

"The governor sent me back on business, and at the same time I want to run for the priesthood."

Caesar said.

Li Wei was not surprised. In fact, he had already known about this, but he didn't expect Caesar to want to be the chief priest like in history.

Originally it was his turn after Metellus died, but unfortunately Metellus died a few years earlier.

The current situation is completely different from the original one. Caesar is not as popular as in history, and Cicero still has his own help.

"My mother must ask me to ask for your opinion, please refer to it."

Caesar spread out and said.

Li Wei smiled slightly. He guessed that Aurelia was afraid that he would offend him. It seemed that he was notorious.

"It's okay for you to join the Chief Priest, but it depends on your efforts. You know that I like Cicero very much."

Levi said.

"That's all right, but I'm afraid I'm no match for Cicero."

Caesar laughed.

"That's not necessarily the case. Without my help, Cicero would definitely not be as good as you."

Levi said.

"You are very kind."

Caesar thought he was joking. At this time, some slaves served fine wine and melons, and they chatted while eating.

"By the way, I will be leaving Rome soon. If possible, I hope to help Emilia and Cicero. I am worried that someone will deal with my people while I am away."

Levi said.

Caesar said quickly: "No problem, this is what I should do."

"As long as you can help her stay stable for the past five years, I will definitely reward you generously when you come back. I will do my best to help you be elected as a judge."

Levi said.

"That's really a big thank you."

Caesar said somewhat unexpectedly that he knew what Li Wei's promise meant.

"This is what you deserve."

Li Wei raised his glass and said.

Inside the Vatican, Li Wei was listening to a report from a caravan leader, while the other was looking at a booklet in his hand.

A long time ago, he sent some caravans into the Gaul and Germanic regions to inquire about news, and finally got the information he wanted, including Wufar's.

"The Germanic area is bordered by the Rhine River in the west and the Danube River in the south. It is extremely cold there, and people can freeze to death every winter. Moreover, the Germanic people are tall and capable of fighting. Many Gauls are afraid when they hear the Germanic people. Some Gauls People originally lived on the east bank of the Rhine, but because the Germans kept going south or east, the Gauls were forced to keep moving west, and finally they moved all the way to Gaul.”

"We have heard of Woofar, who is now King and General of the Speybes."

said the businessman.

He is extremely fat, slightly bald on the top of his head, and his face looks very kind, just like Maitreya Buddha.

"Oh, I remember the Germanic kings and generals weren't separate? How did he do it?"

Li Wei frowned and said.

"It is said that a Germanic used disgraceful means to win the position of general in a contest, and later tried to kill him on the battlefield. I don't know how he escaped and became a slave. After he returned, he found With the help of his own relatives, he killed the general in a contest openly and aboveboard, and inherited the position of general."

"Later, he somehow persuaded the priests and the people of his own tribe, and became the king of the Sbebes. Now he leads the Sbebes to fight in the north and south, not only conquering the Ubbes, the largest tribe in Germany, but also the Many Germanic tribes. The Germanic people under him are estimated to exceed 1.5 million, and he is known as the greatest Germanic king who ever lived."

The merchant continued.

Li Wei couldn't help frowning, this is not easy.

The Germanic tribes are now in a primitive society. Men hunt, women gather, and they don't even know how to farm.

Therefore, basically everyone is a soldier. In this way, he can at least mobilize more than 300,000 Germanic soldiers.

The Germanic people are not the barbarians of Armenia, their combat effectiveness is still very strong, as can be seen from the fact that they can beat the Gauls back steadily.

But don't watch the TV shows that the fighting power of the Germanic people is so powerful. In the age of ice age, their fighting power was still not as good as that of the Huns. It was the Huns who forced the Germanic people to move westward.

"Many people think that he may unify the Germanic people. Several Germanic tribes have been beaten by him and have to enter Gaul and have wars with the Gauls."

"Oh, so Gaul is in a mess right now."

Levi asked.

"That's right, the Germans who crossed the Rhine have already invaded many territories of the Sequani."

said the businessman.

The Gauls have ten powerful tribes and nearly a hundred small tribes, and the Sequani are one of the powerful tribes.

Li Weiqi didn't mind the war in Gaul at all. The main race of Gauls was Celtic.

In the words of Julius Caesar, they are a group of extremely fickle people, easily influenced by rumors, and always believe the rumors they want to believe.

It is precisely because of this that they surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again. It took only eight years for Caesar to conquer the entire Gaul.

But the Sbibe tribe is in the middle of the Rhine River, which is the dividing line between Gaul and Germanic regions, so if he wants to defeat Wufar, he must go to Gaul.

It seems that the plan to cross the Danube in the north must be abandoned, and they can only go on an expedition to Gaul.

Time passed day by day, and the day when the term of office expired was getting closer and closer.

Pompey's plan to designate provinces and have 10 legions to grant the right to go to war was ruthlessly rejected by the Senate.

They could only draw lots with other justices, and finally the provinces of Asia and Bissinia were drawn. Generally speaking, it is not bad, because these are two quite rich provinces.

The day of the handover finally came, when Livy and Pompey handed over the consulship, and were succeeded by Crassus and another consul.

There were several days of feasting in the Vatican, which was the custom of the Romans, whenever a consul or justice came to take office.

Li Wei also had to do as the Romans do, inviting a large number of friends and veterans to eat and drink.

A few days later, outside the city of Rome, a large number of elders and retainers came to see Li Wei off to his post.

The crusaders of the two legions and a thousand guards are ready to go.

They were dressed in neat armor, and some were saying goodbye to relatives.

"Son, be careful on this trip."

Memius patted his son Memius the Younger and said that his son not only grew up, but married and had children.

Now he has to follow Li Wei on his expedition to Gaul. As a Crusader officer, he has to obey Li Wei's orders.

"Father, don't worry, I will be fine. I will definitely make a contribution and become a military tribune."

Little Memius said firmly that he is now a centurion and has participated in the Battle of Spartacus.

Experienced and a very promising officer, perhaps a few more victories will lead to promotion.

Memius nodded, Fabia on one side was already crying, and he was very sad when he thought of his son going to fight in the distant Gaul.

His younger brothers and sisters looked at him enviously, they felt that their elder brother was so majestic.

"Take care all the way."

Emilia kissed Li Wei lightly and said.

"Well, you should also be careful and remember what I told you."

Levi said.

"I know, I will be my queen of Rome."

Emilia said with a smile.

Li Wei shook his head with a wry smile, then hugged Yulia and others goodbye one by one.

"You must take good care of the Senate, and don't let Crassus's people take advantage, he is a very cunning person."

Livy said to Cicero.

"Don't worry, we will never let him succeed."

Cicero said.

Then Li Wei bid farewell to those elders one by one, including Tullius and others. Since Li Wei suggested that some outstanding administrators be added to the Senate, they have become members of the Senate.

Of course they were extremely grateful for this, and became loyalists of Li Wei's faction.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Li Wei immediately set off with a large group of people. Along the way, he had to take over ten legions of his own.
