Roman Slave Owner

A few days ago, Li Wei asked her to buy the land where sugar beets were planted at a high price, and now it has finally paid off.

Li Wei didn't feel that it was a big deal. He had seen many things like this kind of choking in his previous life.

In the previous life, after the explosion of Samsung mobile phones, mobile phones almost faded out of the Chinese market, but the income exploded instead. The reason is that the price of Samsung memory sticks has increased, and it has increased several times. It disgusts the Chinese people, but they can only pinch their noses. Acknowledge the slaughter.

Beet is a biennial herb. Even if it is planted this year, it will be harvested the next year. Rather than being pinched by someone for a year, it is better to directly buy the land where beet is planted.

Is there enough beet in those lands to support our next sugar production?

Levi asked.

Not enough, but there will be no problem in a short time. Should we stop buying beets from the market first? Those vegetable farmers are really too much. After knowing that our white sugar needs beets, it has now increased to a pound and a Seth Tess.

Julia said angrily.

If Li Wei hadn't ordered most of them to buy from the market, she wouldn't have bought such high-priced beets from them.

Is it all so expensive?

Levi felt a terrible headache.

Then stop buying beets from the market first, and pick them all from our fields. This is not normal. It is impossible for the price of vegetables to rise so fast. Someone must be behind the scenes. And I don't believe that a knight dares to offend me. This matter We must investigate and find out who is behind that knight.

Yay bah, a bunch of bastards, they really have sores on their heads and pus on their feet, they're rotten from the inside out.

Don't let him catch them, or he'll take their revenge.

Okay, master.

Send some other guards to guard the beets, so that the enemy won't destroy them.

Li Wei said to Geta that he has always been unafraid to speculate on the enemy with the greatest malice, and those guards will not be able to fight in a short time, so it is better to let them guard their vegetable fields while training.

OK.

Gaita said.

Do you think we should recruit some more guards?

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Feeling the malice of those nobles, he became even more uneasy.

Geta and Yulia looked at each other in blank dismay. They already had 2,000 family guards. Would it be necessary to recruit more guards to go to war?

How much money do we have now, how much sugar.

Li Wei plans to calculate his own family fortune first.

Kumar and Brindisi recently sent us a sum of money, and we currently have 200,000 dinars. There are still 30,000 pounds of white sugar in stock.

Julia said.

Because she is in control of the family's accounts, she knows how much Li Wei spends money.

The weapons and armors like running water were produced, the continuous consumption of building materials and food, the salaries of the guards, and the purchase of some land, all of which swallowed up Li Wei's wealth, so Li Wei's wealth did not increase much.

It's no problem to recruit another two thousand guards.

Levi asked.

No problem, it's just that this is too high-profile, and there are not so many people in Capua's garrison.

Yulia said that she really didn't understand why Li Wei recruited so many people.

We don't need so many people at all, so this is a waste. The situation is very sensitive now, and recruiting guards on such a large scale will arouse people's imagination.

Gaita said.

Li Wei also felt that this was indeed too high-profile. Qin Na had already recruited a large army to prepare for an expedition to Greece, and the domestic situation was very tense now, and the remnants of Sura were being searched everywhere.

What are you recruiting so many guards for?

Want to rebel?

Li Wei felt a little guilty, because he really wanted to rebel with Su La, unlike some people who were just troubled by Su La. For example, Crassus' relatives,

For example, the two uncles of Caesar.

Forget it, let's play a good citizen for a while.

The recruitment of guards can be postponed, and the acquisition work has also been suspended. Let's see what happens next.

Levi said.

OK.

Julia said.

At this moment, a guard suddenly walked in.

Report to the Patriarch that a nobleman who claims to be Tullius has asked to see him.

Tulius...

Li Wei remembered who it was, wasn't that the neighbor he had little contact with?

His father is the chief elder of the Capua Senate, but what is he doing here?

Yulia, go and meet him.

Levi said.

Okay, master.

Little Tullius stood outside the camp and looked at the busy slaves, and the earthen walls had been erected one by one.

A large number of stones are piled up outside the door, and foundations have been laid in some places. A large number of slaves were shouting neat slogans to lift the stones one by one to the outside of the earth wall, and then built the stone wall.

Due to the large number of people, the speed of construction is very fast.

Having participated in the Alliance War, he naturally knew that this was an out-and-out Roman military camp, but it was amazing that Li Wei tried to build a permanent military camp with his own financial resources.

Could it be that he intends to participate in the future battle between Sulla and Cinna? A weird smile appeared on the corner of Little Tullius' mouth.

At this moment, a long-legged female slave with light-colored long hair came over with two guards.

Hello, honorable Tullius, the Patriarch was very happy when he learned of your arrival, and specially ordered me to come and greet you.

The female slave said.

Knowing my identity, it is too arrogant to send only a female slave to greet me, Tullius slandered.

But there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but a reserved smile: Really, may I ask who you are?

Yulia, the master's personal slave.

Yulia bowed her head and said.

Lead the way.

said Tullius.

Yulia led Tulius into the manor, and Tulius looked around from time to time.

All the wooden barracks have been built, and there are a lot of training grounds and stables inside.

Some guards are conducting various trainings in units of ten, but this place seems to be a little small, and it is already a bit crowded to accommodate these people.

From time to time, tinkling sounds came from a distance, and Tullius immediately recognized it as the sound of iron hammering.

Tullius looked into the distance, and found that a large area was enclosed by a high courtyard wall, and the sound of iron hammering came from inside.

I'm so sorry, it's really messy here.

Julia said apologetically.

It's okay, I didn't expect your family to become so prosperous.

Tullius said, Your master really recruited more than two thousand disciples?

This... yes.

Julia said.

So many.

A hint of surprise appeared on Tullius' face.

Li Wei's retainers pay a lot of real money, unlike other families, they can only provide some convenience, and the control of retainers is far less strict than Li Wei's.

Moreover, it is not uncommon for the disciples to rebel against the patron. For example, Mario's patron did not want to see Marius elected consul, but Marius still did so. Even Marius sued his patron, who was regarded by some nobles as a bad-natured retainer.
