Roman Slave Owner

No, it's just that there are too many people offended by this.

Liberias said with a wry smile.

I understand your difficulties. If you can get 60 million dramaks, those behind usury are not easy to mess with. But this is related to the victory or defeat of the war, and I don't want the slightest mistake.

Levi said, If you don't want to, post it in my name.

No, I am the governor of Asia, and it is justifiable for me to issue this order.

Liberias said.

Li Wei nodded, You can let the wind out, just say that I asked you to do this, if they have any dissatisfaction, they can come to me.

Lebiris nodded, as long as Li Wei is willing to endorse.

He was afraid that Li Wei would put all the responsibility on him, and he couldn't afford to provoke those people.

It didn't take long before they arrived at the military camp outside the city.

A large number of vendors gathered outside the barracks. In Asia, where the people's livelihood was dying, the spending power of Roman soldiers was a bright rainbow.

And because of the long absence, a very old industry is thriving here too.

I saw a soldier walking past Li Wei with his arms around the two women who had lost their footing. Even when he saw the twelve guards holding pistols beside Li Wei, their expressions did not change at all.

The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched slightly, This is what people call a veteran of Febria.

Even though he has only been here for less than a day, he is still familiar with their names.

Yes, some of them are no longer fit to be soldiers, I have isolated them all.

Liberias said awkwardly.

how many people.

More than 2,000 people.

Let them go home after this war, and if those soldiers want to go home, let them go back too. This expedition must be based on the principle of voluntariness.

Levi said.

Obey, Patriarch.

Liberias said.

The process of inspecting the barracks was unpleasant, and Li Wei had never seen such a bad Roman army.

But after learning that he could go home, the whole barracks cheered loudly.

In the end, according to statistics, not even a single legion was willing to participate in the expedition.

In any case, I finally added a Roman legion in my hand.

Soon Lebiris officially signed an order to limit the interest rate of usury.

As soon as this order came out, the whole of Asia was jubilant. I don't know how many people were grateful to Lebiris, but this also completely offended some people.

General Li Wei, if you are willing to let me accompany the army, I can guarantee that when we arrive in Bendu, a large area will follow.

In Li Wei's residence, a tall man said respectfully.

The man was weather-beaten and his face was lined with wrinkles. But the eyes are piercing, looking very energetic.

His name is Archelaus, and he used to be the commander of the army under the king of Pontus, commanding the Pontus army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, to fight Sulla.

But after repeated battles and defeats, he finally realized the strength of Rome, so he took refuge in Rome.

This is the legendary leading party, and it is the kind that brings its own dry food.

Lebiris recommended this person to him, and Levi thought it might be helpful, so he interviewed him.

Levi asked curiously, Why are you doing this?

Although Archelaus was very enthusiastic, Li Wei didn't dare to believe him.

Pontus can never be an opponent of the Roman army. I hope that the damage to the people of Pontus will be minimized during the war.

Archelaus said sincerely.

Do you want Bendu to become a province of Rome?

Levi asked.

No problem, as long as the general minimizes the killing of the people of Pontus, I am willing to give my loyalty.

Archelaus said.

If they resist, I will do things according to the Roman rules. People who resist cities will sell themselves into slavery.

Levi said.

no problem.

Archelaus said.

Okay, I will trust you for the time being, and you will act with the army when the time comes.

Li Wei nodded and said.

Thank you General.

Archelaus said excitedly.

At this moment, Caesar walked in.

General, many businessmen outside want to see you.

Hehe, it's finally here. The reaction is a little slower than I thought, let them come in.

Li Wei said with a sneer.

It didn't take long for a large number of Roman businessmen to come in under the leadership of Lamia.

General Levi, I heard that you were the one who ordered Lebiris to sign the order on usury.

As soon as he walked in, Lamia said aggressively.

Yes, do you have any comments?

Li Wei said with a bad face.

Of course I have opinions. We all have opinions. This seriously hurts our interests. If you continue to do this, we will file a complaint with the Senate.

Lamia said angrily.

Then you guys go.

Li Wei said coldly, he really thought he was afraid of the Senate.

He has the tribunes of the populace in his hands, and the Senate is a fart in his eyes.

Moreover, he and Pompey and Crassus are mutual aid. If they can sue themselves, he will write the word Li Wei upside down.

His words made Lamia and the others choke, they didn't expect Li Wei to be so tough.

General Levi, do you know who we represent?

At this time a businessman asked.

Appreciate further details.

Li Wei said with a sneer.

We represent not only ourselves, but also the Claudius Marchelus family, the Pulker family, the Curio family, the Hortensius family...

The businessman said that he mentioned several families in a row, all of which were well-known wealthy families in Rome.

If ordinary people listened to it, I'm afraid they might not dare to offend these people.

Even Li Wei's face is solemn, the combination of the energies of these giants is terrifying, and there are many old acquaintances among them.

But Li Wei is really not afraid. Although they are very strong, even if they add up, they are not Li Wei's opponents.

Are you finished?

Levi said.

I wonder if you have considered it, General?

The businessman proudly said that Li Wei must have been frightened by these wealthy families.

Go away after you finish talking! If you want to talk to me, let your master come over, you are not worthy.

Li Wei scolded angrily.

Hearing this, the businessmen couldn't help but turn pale with shock. They didn't expect Li Wei to be so tough and dare to confront so many wealthy families.

Li Wei, are you sure you want to do this?

A businessman trembled with anger.

If you want to talk to me, you deserve it too.

Levi said.

I swear you'll regret it.

The businessman said, turned around and left after speaking.

Some businessmen scolded a few times and followed him out of here.

However, some businessmen stayed behind, and they looked at Li Wei eagerly. Compared with those people, these loan sharks had no background, or the background was not so strong, and even Lamia was among them.
