Roman Slave Owner

It's great, we've had a great time working together.

Remus said with a laugh.

Do you have cavalry slaves and artisan slaves here?

Levi asked.

Of course there is, but the price is a bit expensive.

Take me to have a look.

OK.

An hour later, Li Wei left here with the general, and then walked to the hotel.

Along the way, people were shocked by the general. The Romans themselves were short and were often laughed at by the Gauls, not to mention the Germans.

The general stood out from the crowd like a chicken, and attracted the attention of many people.

But his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were full of hostility, which made the nearby gladiators extremely nervous.

After returning to the hotel, Li Wei asked the other gladiators to keep an eye on the general.

There are many unconvinced slaves like this, Carus has plenty of ways to deal with them, and Li Wei is not worried.

At this time, some subordinates passed on their news, and they contacted some foreign businessmen.

Many people have the intention to buy, but did not buy immediately, Levi estimated that they intend to inquire about the price.

Only a few big merchants with good money bought some, but the total amount was only about 100 kilograms.

After the delivery, Li Wei earned more than 9,000 dinars, his pockets bulged, and Li Wei finally had the money to buy the goods.

So Li Wei took Carus around to buy slaves, and finally bought a total of about 300 gladiator slaves.

This is the upper limit that their family dungeon can accommodate gladiators, and there will be no room for more.

In addition, there are 300 other slaves. Some of these slaves have unique crafts, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they are used to build castles.

Li Wei has already made a plan to turn his manor into a heavily guarded fortress so that his production technology will not be stolen by others.

During this time, news about white sugar circulated among merchants in Naples, and they couldn't find any cheaper white sugar.

More and more people took the initiative to come to buy sugar, including local merchants in Rome.

But what made Li Wei depressed was that they didn't order much. After a week, he only sold more than one ton.

A bunch of bloody poor people! They can't even afford some white sugar!

In the inn where he was staying, Li Wei said with a look of contempt.

Geta and Carus couldn't help rolling their eyes, you set the price so high, there are a few who can afford it.

They even heard that many people nicknamed Li Wei a black-hearted businessman behind his back.

Why don't we lower the price a bit. Several big businessmen have already said that as long as the price does not exceed 20 dinars, they are willing to cover the rest.

A young man with black curly short hair said that his eyes were piercing and he looked very capable. He was the Greek slave Vals who grew up with Li Wei.

No, the price can't be lowered by a penny.

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

This is my own business, in order to protect the craftsmanship from leakage, it is destined to be impossible to mass-produce.

Lowering the price is asking for death. He is not here to do good deeds and satisfy the good life of people in other worlds.

His purpose, Li Wei, is to make money and silver, and live a luxurious and corrupt noble life.

If someone scolded him for being depraved, he would definitely roar to make the depravity even more violent.

Well, let's rent a shop here tomorrow to sell sugar. Valens, you bring a few people to stay and take care of the business here.

Levi said.

All right.

Walls thought for a while and said.

A group of poor B.

Li Wei still couldn't stop his resentment and kept talking.

Everyone was sweating wildly,

The master is really...

The next day, Li Wei rented a shop in the golden area of ​​Naples, and kept all the remaining sugar.

In addition, he ordered a large amount of grain, and asked the grain merchants here to send them to Capua.

Naples is close to the port of Sicily and Egypt, the granaries. The food here is surprisingly cheap, and you can save a lot of money by buying here.

His demand is too high, and it will cost a lot of money to buy it back in Capua.

Remus, I'm taking my leave now. You must inform me of any good slaves next time.

Retrieved the slave that was deposited with Remus, Li Wei said.

Of course, I heard that you made a lot of money this time.

Remus said with some jealousy.

Even if he inquired casually, he knew that Li Wei had earned at least tens of thousands of dinars in silver coins.

This made him, a slave trader who came in the wind and went in the rain, and had to fight pirates, be envious to death. If he could make so much money, he would never be a damn slave trader.

Hahaha, okay, then I'll treat you to a really good wine.

Levi said.

After leaving Naples, Li Wei thought about his future plans.

He intends to expand the production staff to 100 people and then no more.

Everything he produces is profiteering, and the most important thing is to keep business secrets, not blindly expand production.

If 100 people produce, according to the sugar beet harvest time of 4 months a year, about 30 tons can be produced per month, and 120 tons in April.

If you can get 10.8 million dinars if you sell them all, this is definitely an amazing wealth.

Of course, it is difficult for the rich and powerful in Rome to spend so much money to buy sugar, so they can only rely on neighboring countries to digest it.

If they couldn't be sold, Li Wei didn't plan to sell them cheap even if they were left to rot in the warehouse.

Although it has only been a short time since he changed his identity, Li Wei has already tended to turn into a black-hearted capitalist.

The team was winding forward, and at this moment, a team of more than a dozen cavalrymen galloped towards them.

Hey! Who bought this slave? The quality is really good!

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front.

Carus, it's you.

Hello, dear Titus.

Li Wei drove forward and found an old man with gray hair talking to Carus. His face was rosy and his voice was loud, and a team of guards followed him.

Hello, Uncle Titus.

Li Wei said with a smile.

This old man is called Titas Batiatus Lanturas, a famous gladiator trainer in Capua. idols to worship.

A young man with short black hair who looked very energetic followed behind him. It was his son Quintus.

Batiatus Training School...

A kind of enlightenment came to Li Wei's heart, and a large number of memories of the previous life emerged. Isn't this the gladiator training school where Spartacus is located in the future?

His son is the master of Spartacus, so Quintus is going to be a tragedy?

At this time, he remembered a famous American drama Spartacus in his previous life, and those people took their seats one by one.

Li Wei looked at them a little strangely, wondering if the American drama was all true.

Haha, Li Wei, long time no see.

Quintus gave Levi a big hug.

Quintus is a few years older than Li Wei, and Capua's gladiator circle is actually not that big, so he and Li Wei can be regarded as acquaintances.

Hello, Quintus.

Li Wei patted his shoulder hard.
