Roman Slave Owner

Knowing the news, the people of Brindisi burst into cheers.

Standing in the crowd, watching the Sura army entering the city happily, Valens had a look of disbelief.

How did Li Wei judge that Sura would land from here, and let him wait for Sura here very early.

Does he have the ability to predict the future?

It's just not possible.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. When he thought of Li Wei's decision, his brows frowned into a word.

Is it really okay for the Patriarch to decide to seek refuge with Sura so quickly?

Valens did not go to see Su La immediately, but quietly waited for Su La to send someone to the door.

He always kept in mind the instructions of the Patriarch, as a human being, you have to be reserved sometimes.

If you take the initiative to come to seek refuge, people may still suspect that you have evil intentions.

In the Brindisi City Official Mansion, this place has become Sulla's temporary residence.

Sulla recruited the aristocratic magistrates of Brindisi. Roman municipalities and colonies usually have two magistrates. Some are even more like a council of three, one of which is a nobleman, held by a nobleman, who can sit on a chair inlaid with ivory, sometimes called a magistrate.

There is also a civilian city official, mostly held by civilians, and the status of this kind of city official is often not as good as that of a tooth seat city official.

After listening to the city official's report, Sura had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Brindisi.

Since Brindisi is a very important port, many knights or nobles have industries here.

At present, he only has 40,000 troops, of which 5,000 are Greek mercenaries. It is impossible to defeat Rome with this strength.

Although Cinna died, the Roman army was not damaged.

Combined with the strong support of the new citizens, the Samonians and the Lucanians, his odds are actually pretty low

He must unite all the forces that can be united, and these knights and nobles are the objects that must be wooed. He has always been a firm aristocrat, and one of the shops caught his attention.

Levi's sugar shop, that Levi in ​​Capua?

Sura said thoughtfully.

That's right, I didn't expect you to have heard of this name before.

said the mayor.

Sura smiled slightly. Although Li Wei's execution of the administrator of Capua and the governor of Campania was a sensation in the local area, it was not worth mentioning in the whole country or even the entire Mediterranean.

Sura was able to know him, so she naturally had her own channel.

How come I haven't heard of such an outstanding young man.

Sura said.

What caught his eye the most were Li Wei's two legions, which belonged to his private legions and did not need to listen to Rome's command at all.

Send someone to contact the people in that store and just say I want to ask them to talk about something, remember to be polite.

Sura said.

As ordered.

A herald next to him said immediately.

Not long after, Valens followed the herald to the mansion.

Valens has met General Sulla.

Valens said with a smile.

Who are you from Levi?

Sura asked kindly.

I am the personal slave of Lucius Porcius Livi, the patriarch of the Capua Livi family, and I run the business of Brindisi under the order of my master.

Valens said.

Personal slave?

Sura's heart moved, a personal slave means an absolute confidant.

Why did Li Wei send his personal slave here? This should be just a coincidence.

Your master is really young and promising. I admire him very much for breaking into such a big family business at such a young age.

Sura showed the most cordial smile, completely unable to see the majesty of a consul.

I don't know why General Sura called me here?

Valens asked.

I think you understand the current situation. I plan to attack Rome. I hope your master can help me. As long as he is willing to help me, I am willing to give him a lot of things, no matter money or power.

Sura said straight to the point that most importantly, he didn't think Valens, a slave, had any qualifications to make him tactful.

this……

Valens looked hesitant. If Li Wei was here, he would definitely praise him for having the demeanor of a movie king.

Qin Na's subordinates wanted to kill him, and Kabo felt sorry for him. Doesn't he want to take revenge?

Sura said.

The administrators of Capua and the admirals of Campania have paid for their mistakes. Those things are in the past.

Valens said.

...

What you said makes sense, but Su La is by no means the kind of person who just lets it go.

I don't know what your master likes the most?

Sura asked.

Money and land, and real estate.

Valens said with a smile, Sura really took the hook.

There was a smile on Sura's face, as long as there was something he liked, what he was afraid of was the saint who liked everything.

As long as your master is willing to help me, I can give him 20 million dinars and a lot of land and real estate after the matter is completed. I can let him take 10 of the sinner's real estate.

Sura said.

Anyway, it was empty talk, and Sura casually made a promise. If he succeeded, he could also use the enemy's property to fulfill these promises, and he would not lose money anyway.

Valens gasped, 20 million dinars, this is really an astonishing sum, plus those land and real estate will be even more.

I will pass these words on to the master.

Valens said.

Then please, I'll wait for your good news.

Sura said, after Valens left, there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

Li Wei's two legions are something he must get. If Li Wei does not agree, then he will try to spread rumors that Li Wei has colluded with him, and try to force him to agree.

Half a year has passed, and the biggest change in Capua is that a new city has appeared outside the city of Capua, which is a small town belonging to Li Wei.

Li Wei bought 6,000 prisoners of war in one fell swoop and became a famous slave owner throughout Rome.

Many people strongly opposed Levi's purchase of so many slaves, because they believed that the purchase of so many slaves would have an impact on Capua's population.

But Levi brushed it off because he knew what was coming and he was pressed for time and didn't have time to slowly develop.

He sent most of them to the quarries to extract and process the stone and bring it back to Capua.

The other part was built in Li Wei Manor. Due to the addition of a large number of slaves, Li Wei's city building speed became very fast.

The original inner city was completely perfected, and the outer city was built at a rapid pace. Two walls and a part of the third wall had already been built.

Inside the city wall, military camps and residential quarters were established. All the residents in these living quarters were the family members of the guards or dormitories for slaves.

In addition, there are large open spaces where vegetables and other crops are planted.

Looking at the city, Li Wei looked proud.
