Roman Slave Owner

The bloody bastard! He swore to kill him! Kill him no matter what!

Get out of here quickly, and don't let me see you again.

Venting his anger, Cassius had Aulus thrown into the road, causing murmurs among the surrounding people.

Hearing the mocking voices of the people around him, Aulus quickly fled with his head covered.

Although already down and out, the young master of Aulus lost his temper again.

His eyes were red like an angry bull.

Isn't it death? Could it be that he is afraid of death?

Even if he died, he would make Cassius pay for what happened today.

When he got home, he found that several people were waiting for him.

One of them was very familiar to him, the executioner Urbian, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

Hello, Master Olus.

Urbian said with a smile.

What's the matter with you?

Aulus suddenly had a bad feeling, did something happen to him?

I'm here to submit a detention order. You are now facing several lawsuits, including a murder charge. On the orders of the Consul Serabio, you are temporarily detained.

Urbian said.

Now that Olus's father is also dead, and the overall situation in Capua is settled, Urbian is not so resistant to this order.

What did you say? Lawsuits? That's impossible! And who did I murder?

Olus said with a look of horror.

Knight Levi.

Urbian looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person. Why is this person always thinking about it?

He could have been immortal!

No! Fake! This is slander!

Aulus said in horror, he didn't want to be crucified and beaten to death like his father!

It's not up to you to take him away.

Urbian said that soon the guards took the struggling Olus away from here.

The team going to Rome finally came back, and Scipio was successfully elected as the consul of Rome, which made Li Wei more famous, because everyone knew that he supported Scipio, but most people didn't know the tricks.

Part of Tullius' manor was also bought by Li Wei, and then Li Wei began to enclose the land wantonly and built a city, which is a real city.

Both are two kilometers long and wide. Due to financial reasons, the city wall cannot be built in a short period of time, and everything remains on the plan.

The weather was fine, just finished the daily morning exercises, the somewhat gloomy Memius headed to the cafeteria.

He made himself a wheat porridge and two slices of bread, plus two eggs and a pork hamburger, and that was all he had for breakfast.

He couldn't afford this kind of breakfast before, and it's not bad to have enough food and clothing, but now he eats casually, which makes him very satisfied.

At least Li Wei is very generous with the food of the soldiers, much more generous than when he was a soldier.

Soldiers have to prepare their own food, and many soldiers are so poor that they have to write letters to their families for food.

He took a bite of Roujiamo hard, his mouth was filled with lingering fragrance, and he drank a mouthful of wheat porridge, which made Memius almost groan out of comfort.

It didn't take long before he ate half of his meal.

At this moment, the conversation of several guards sitting next to him caught his attention.

Have you heard? The Patriarch seems to be recruiting retainers.

What is a retainer?

I don't know about this, but it must be more advanced than a guard.

Are there any conditions?

There are no conditions, anyone can sign up.

...

Hearing this, Memius couldn't sit still any longer.

He knew that this was the reform that his friend talked about. It is said that Li Wei attached great importance to retainers,

Just by hearing their names, one can tell that these people must be in high positions.

In fact, the issue of Li Wei's loyalty to the guards has always been a headache. Since Mario's reform, the army has inevitably begun to be privatized.

The consequences of the privatization of the army are very terrible, that is, the republic will inevitably disintegrate, and then lead to a monarchy under the leadership of a military strongman, and more and more famous generals marched into Rome, such as Marius, Sulla, and Caesar, which proves this point .

After the establishment of the Roman Empire, Augustus and Caesar of all dynasties have tacitly cleaned up the famous families of the previous republic, and finally those famous families were basically cleaned up.

Li Wei can be sure that his family will become a real famous family. Could it be that he just sits and watches his family be purged by Augustus and Caesars?

The scene of the execution a few days ago made Li Wei feel a little stuck.

Shouldn't his descendants be cleaned like this by those Augustus and Caesars?

If you don't want to be cleansed, you can only become Augustus yourself.

But the Roman emperor was not so easy to be. The Roman Empire was a bit naive. It lacked a suitable theory to rule the people and command the army.

Since the Caesar family claimed to be the descendants of Venus, Caesar strengthened the propaganda that he was the descendant of God after he came to power.

This is very similar to ancient Greece and Egypt, which emphasized that the king is the descendant of the gods, or the king even became a god, such as the famous Cretan kings Radamandis, Minos and Aiagos. The three judges named as the underworld are extremely brilliant in Saint Warrior.

Egyptian pharaohs also claimed to be descendants of gods, and they even carried out internal suicides in order to ensure the purity of bloodlines.

The Roman Empire adopted a similar measure, that is, as long as the emperor did not make major mistakes during his reign, he could be enshrined as a god after death and worshiped as a god.

That is to say, the emperor became a god, which is completely different from medieval Europe and Eastern China. Medieval Europe and China paid attention to the divine grant of monarchy, not the emperor's becoming a god.

Moreover, Rome did not have the ruling theory of Confucianism, which made the ancient Roman Empire unable to control its own army at all.

One after another Roman emperors were killed by the army and their bodies were thrown into the Tiber River. Even the position of the emperor was auctioned off by the Praetorian Guards.

The unscrupulousness of the army monster was extremely obvious in the Roman Empire, so some emperors began to please the army. They even lived with the soldiers, dressed like soldiers, and squeezed the people as much as possible.

The squeezed money was given to the army, but the people and the Senate revolted angrily and killed the emperor.

Li Wei found that whether he was honestly a famous family or an emperor, the consequences were worrisome. This made Li Wei sigh deeply. Could it be that he wanted to turn the Roman Empire in the right direction of the divine right of kings, and also set him up for the monster army? Take the reins.

Therefore, Li Wei decided that he must complete the ideological transformation of the army as soon as possible. Next year, he will join Su La to rebel. It would be a joke if his guards didn't follow him to rebel.

Where did you hear that?

Memius walked over and asked.

Someone posted it on the door of the cafeteria just now.

said the guard.
