Roman Slave Owner

They have very important things to do today, he is going to inspect the two legions of Rome stationed here.

These two legions are extremely tragic to say, because they were the two legions that went to conquer Sura. After being lured by Sura to surrender, they have been stationed in Asia as if they were forgotten.

Later, Murrayna led them to attack Bendu, but they failed to grab good things, but suffered heavy losses. It is hard to say how many troops they have now.

Where is Caesar? Where is he?

Monimie put on a red cloak for Li Wei, but found that Caesar could not be found no matter what.

This is not very clear.

Lucias said, but his eyes were a little wandering.

Li Wei didn't notice this, Since we can't find it, forget it, let's go by ourselves.

So Li Wei and Lebiris walked outside, but after a short walk, Caesar's familiar voice came over.

This beauty, I don't know if I am lucky enough to meet you.

Li Wei stopped and found that Caesar stopped a maid with a charming smile on his face.

Who are you?

The maid said in a panic.

Gaius Julius Caesar, General Livy's adjutant. My uncle is Cotta, this year's consul.

Caesar said, shamelessly revealing his identity as the second generation official.

I didn't expect you to be General Li Wei's adjutant. You are really amazing.

The maid looked shocked, My name is...

Li Wei has a black line on his face, he couldn't find you for a long time, he didn't expect you to pick up girls here.

Sure enough, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Li Wei glanced at Lucias, and found an imperceptible smile on the corner of Lucias' mouth, but the smile disappeared quickly, and his face became serious.

Caesar, let's go, we have something to do.

Li Wei stepped forward and said.

Ah, I'm really sorry. General, what's the matter?

Caesar said quickly.

Inspect the barracks here.

Li Wei said, and walked out the door with a dark face after speaking.

Caesar followed in a panic, the general's face must have been dissatisfied with him for picking up girls.

But the general obviously did the same thing himself, this world is really unfair.

By the way, how could he not know what the inspection of the barracks was all about.

He glanced at Lucias and found that Lucias followed Li Wei closely.

After noticing Caesar's gaze, he showed a disdainful expression on his face. You, the second generation of officials, also want to fight with me. Can you be an adjutant without your uncle?

It's not like myself, I rely entirely on my own ability to work hard.

Caesar knew in his heart that he must have set him up to conceal this information. During this period, Lysias gathered those old people and pushed him out, and Caesar suffered a lot for this.

Is it just necessary? He, Caesar, has no interest in being an adjutant for life.

After this battle, he will resign as an adjutant, work as a lawyer for a few more years, and then find a way to develop into politics.

He has only one goal, and that is the consul!

As the group walked out of the city, the passers-by along the way saw Li Wei and the others get out of the way one after another, with expressions of awe on their faces, but there was also a lot of disgust in them, which made Li Wei extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, a group of people came from another intersection.

One of the young men had his hands tied with a rope, and the rope was held in the hands of a big man behind him. When he saw Li Wei and the others, the big man hurried out of the way.

When the young man saw Li Wei and others, he yelled, Damn Romans, you are like greedy vultures. I hope Mithridates will defeat you as soon as possible.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being furious.

A soldier stepped up, kicked him hard, and beat him violently.

Damn foreigner, you dare to curse the Romans, you don't want to live.

Li Wei stopped his horse and frowned and looked at all this,

Finally called the soldier.

stop.

Seeing Li Wei speaking, the soldier had to stop, and at the same time he spat hard on the young man's face.

So humble, sirs. He was sold into slavery today, so I'm very upset.

The middle-aged man who followed the young man said apologetically.

Why was he sold into slavery?

Levi asked.

Because he owes a loan shark and can't pay the interest.

The middle-aged man said.

I borrowed 30 dramaks to pay taxes, but I paid him back 100 dramaks. It's all you Romans. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't owe so much money.

Although the young man's face was covered with blood, he still cursed viciously.

That's enough, just shut up.

The middle-aged man kicked him hard, and then gave Li Wei and the others a flattering smile.

Yes, you can go.

Levi said.

Thank you General! Thank you General!

Just by looking at the 12 guards with Li Wei, he knew his identity. I didn't expect Li Wei to be so easy to talk to.

I'm so humbled that something like this happened.

Liberias said apologetically.

It's nothing, I just want to know that all Asians hate the Romans so much?

Levi said.

Lebiris was embarrassed, how can this be explained.

He thought for a long time, and finally said, When Sura came here, he carried out a lot of massacres and sold many people as slaves. Not only did the soldiers live in the homes of rich merchants, but also let them pay for them every day and one month. Many wealthy businessmen lost their fortunes because of this.”

Afterwards, the tax was paid to the taxpayers at a price of 60 million dramaks. Over the past few years, the Asians have paid at least 240 million dramaks. This tax has not been paid off, and many families have had to sell themselves slave.

What a bunch of greedy guys.

Levi said.

Lebiris nodded, no matter when he got involved in usury, his family would be ruined.

Do the civilian men you recruited think so too?

Levi asked.

This...probably so.

Liberias said awkwardly.

Li Wei felt a headache. He couldn't follow him to the battlefield with a group of people who hated Rome.

This is not going to war, this is going to die.

This matter must change. We can't go on like this. I hope those civilians can fight for me wholeheartedly.

Levi said.

Then what do you want to do?

Liberias asked.

Limit the interest rate, the monthly interest rate shall not exceed 1. The money that the lender obtains from the borrower shall not exceed 1/4 of the income each month. The interest rate is 0 during the period when the soldiers are in the army, and their families are not allowed to be slaves. If there are slaves, they can apply Redeem it in the name of the government, and the price will be paid by the soldiers and civilians.

Levi said.

Lebiris didn't answer right away, his expression kept changing.

What's the matter, I don't want to do it.

Li Wei said with a smile.
