Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 29 Arguing

Scipio said, and leaned over to read the notice after speaking.

Great citizens of Capua, because the safety of Capua is becoming more and more disturbing, I, Li Wei, are now recruiting 10,000 guards from the city of Capua and surrounding towns...cough...cough...10,000 Guard...

Scipio widened his dead fish eyes, How is this possible? Is he crazy?

Should I send someone to inquire about it?

Nias said.

Send someone quickly.

That's a crazy fellow, said Scipio.

It was the first time he heard that recruiting guards directly recruited 10,000!

Nias hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the matter, and after a long time, the news finally came back.

It was true, and word spread throughout Capua.

Li Wei has already sent a team to the city and surrounding villages and towns to recruit guards.

Scipio and Nias couldn't help looking at each other.

Hahaha, Li Wei is really a young and promising kid, I really like him more and more.

Scipio laughed.

Yes, I think we ought to have him as a guest.

Nias went down the donkey path along the slope, seeming to have forgotten what he just said.

Yes, you must.

Scipio could not take his eyes off the 10,000 Roman citizens. If he had the support of the Roman citizens of these two legions, his chances of winning the consulship would be greatly increased.

As for the ancient tower and Saiyanus, he had already thrown them out of the sky.

Hurry up, send me an invitation card, and say that I want to visit Li Wei in person.

Scipio said.

***

On Capua Square, a young man is giving an impassioned speech.

What are you still hesitating about? As long as you become the guard of Patriarch Li Wei, you can get 20 dinars, and it also includes food and lodging. Ten commanders are 40 dinars, centurions are 80 dinars, military security Civil officials pay 160 dinars a month, as long as you are a Roman citizen, as long as you think you have the ability, you can sign up.

Capua is so big, there are only a few jobs that can earn 160 dinars a month. With your skills, you can beat you? Even if you can't earn 160 dinars, there is still a tenth chance of earning 160 dinars a month. 40 dinars.

And this time you don't need to be a disciple, you can sign a 5-year contract or a 10-year contract. As long as you guarantee to support the Patriarch politically and repel the invading enemies.

After listening to his speech, the people in the square were very interested.

This is an era of low productivity, and most people have no way to make a lot of money.

20 dinars a month is a lot for ordinary people, not to mention the opportunity to earn 160 dinars a month.

I was a centurion in the alliance war before? Can I be a centurion when I go to you?

At this time someone asked.

If you can prove that you have really been a centurion, we can downgrade and use it, because our training methods are different from the general Roman legions.

said the young man.

Do you really not need to be a doorman?

No, all the rights and obligations are clearly written here, if you don't believe me, take a look.

Soon someone handed over a few samples of contracts made of sheepskin. Those people really didn't need to become disciples after seeing them. After the contract expired, the two parties would have nothing to do with each other.

This makes many people very excited. In fact, many people are unwilling to become disciples, even if there are many important figures among disciples, because disciples are restricted by patrons in many ways.

This made many people feel relieved.

I want to participate!

I will also participate!

I used to be a centurion, I want to sign up!

Everyone, don't rush, line up slowly.

...

Guta, Saiyanus and Aulus watched all this quietly,

My heart sank to the bottom.

Fake, this is absolutely false. He simply doesn't have so much money to support so many people, including food and housing, 20 dinars a month. Three million dinars a year may not be enough. He never Where do you get so much money?

Saiyanus said disdainfully.

As a statesman, he knew that if Livi had so many Roman citizens, it would be a mortal threat to them.

Not to mention that he will retire in half a year, even if he is the administrator, Li Wei, there are plenty of ways to deal with him.

Saiyanus wanted to make peace with Li Wei, but after Dio talked about his grievances with Li Wei, Saiyanus gave up this idea. All he could do was to persuade Guta to board his thief ship as soon as possible.

Since he had no son, Dio was his only nephew and was considered his successor.

Let me think about it again.

Guta frowned and said.

What are you waiting for? Have him fill his staff and then sue us and kill us at the Centuries?

Saiyanus said with some madness in his eyes, At worst, we can go into exile. We are high-ranking officials. Even if we commit a capital crime, we go into exile voluntarily. He has nothing to do with us.

According to Roman law, even if some senior officials committed a capital crime, they could be exempted from the capital crime as long as they voluntarily went into exile.

Cicero killed Catiline without a trial because of the final ruling order of the Senate (also called final advice, emergency law), and was forced into exile afterwards.

Some officials handling cases even specifically asked them whether they wanted to go into exile.

But my son is not eligible to go into exile, and neither is your nephew and your wife.

Guta said.

That's why we have to put him to death as soon as possible. Don't you want your life to be in his hands! We will all die then!

Saiyanus growled angrily.

It's just a little misunderstanding between me and him, I think it can be resolved.

Guta said.

Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Guta! I really misjudged you! I promise you will regret it!

After saying that, Saiyanus took Dio and left here.

Father, is the matter really so serious?

Olus asked.

Yes, if he really recruits the Roman citizens of the two legions, you will die.
