Roman Slave Owner

Since the war greatly affected his business, this is why he had to open a weapons shop to supplement his income.

Sura has agreed to pay the salaries and food for my army. I have already lost my own land. How can I have the money to pay for the consumption of the three legions.

Pompey said with a smile.

This is really great. I also want to discuss this issue with Sura. He must not favor one person over another.

Levi said.

However, your soldier's salary is too high. He probably only agrees to pay part of it.

Pompeo said.

A soldier in other regiments only needs to pay a salary of 112 dinars a year, and the soldiers provide their own food.

Li Wei needs to pay a salary of 240 dinars for each soldier, and the food is still prepared by Li Wei.

The annual salary of a Roman legionary centurion was 365 dinars, while that of Livy was 960 dinars.

The cost of Li Wei to maintain a legion is more than twice that of an ordinary Roman legion.

I see.

Li Wei smiled wryly and said that the money he gave was indeed too much at that time, and it is too late to regret it now, but let it be the price of loyalty.

The two soon came to Li Wei's weapon shop, and those customers were very happy to see Li Wei and Pompey's arrival.

As long as Sulla can defeat Rome, Li Wei and Pompey will definitely become big shots in Rome, and it is very beneficial for them to be able to get acquainted with these big shots.

So these foreigners came forward to introduce themselves one after another, and Li Wei dealt with them with difficulty, after all, the customer is God, and they are sending money, so they can't show embarrassment to them.

Your weapons are so expensive!

After looking at the prices of those weapons, Pompeo said in shock.

It's just that the price is so expensive, can these weapons be sold?

No, just now he saw that one of the 10,000 dinar daggers was sold.

You get what you pay for, so it's expensive for a reason.

Li Wei said with a smile.

He drew the only dagger worth 1 million dinars, and said, Take out your sword.

Pompey thought for a while, then drew his dagger.

Li Wei swung with all his strength, and the two swords clashed together.

jingle!

Pompey's short sword was easily cut off, and a cut sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

how can that be!

Pompey's face changed drastically. His sword was considered a famous sword, and he couldn't even block a single blow.

If someone fought him with that sword, wouldn't it be easy to kill him.

Others also exclaimed, this is Pompey's sword!

Unexpectedly, his sword would not be able to catch even a single blow. This precious sword is indeed extremely sharp.

This sword will be paid to you.

Li Wei said with a smile.

This...how is this so embarrassing.

Pompey said, this is a sword worth one million dinars, how could he accept such a sword.

The sword is given to a famous general. In my eyes, there are very few people in the world who can afford this sword. You are definitely one of them.

Li Wei said with a smile.

In fact, he has always wanted to make his sword the top brand in the Mediterranean. Aren't people like Pompey and Sura the best advertising spokespersons?

Even Pompey, the dictator for life and the son of Rome, used his weapons. Who could have such a great weapon shop.

And he decided to make a rule, like those soil turtles who only have money, they don't even want to buy his top weapons, just like the Rolls Royce of later generations, they have to vet customers.

But soon an idea appeared in his mind, even Rolls Royce is just a kind of luxury, far from being a legend.

Why doesn't he create a legendary brand?

Just like go-getters and Mo Xie,

Link his best weapons with those famous generals, create his own legend, and leave a good story in history.

And is he short of money?

But it seems that as long as a legendary brand is created, it will be more profitable.

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't sit still anymore.

One thought after another appeared in his heart, and those swords soon had their own masters.

Sulla, Pompey, Caesar, Lucullus, and that one-eyed old man Cedorius, only these famous people are qualified to wear their own swords.

From now on, this shop will no longer sell this one million dinar short sword. Only famous generals who have been approved by me can get this kind of sword.

Li Wei said suddenly.

Hearing this, those people were shocked.

What does it mean? Don't you make money? Isn't this stupid.

But what they didn't know was that twenty years later, some kings came forward with 10 million dinars to buy this kind of dagger, but Li Wei didn't sell it either.

Levi's weapon shop has not only become the best weapon shop in the Mediterranean, it has become a true legend!

Pompey was greatly moved. He didn't expect that Li Wei didn't even plan to sell this kind of sword because of him.

What's the point of this?

Pompeo said.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. I look at the heroes of the world, and there are not many people who can stand this kind of sword.

Li Wei really wanted to have a talk about heroes by cooking wine, but after thinking about it, forget it.

There are too many people offended like this, there is no need for his small body to offend so many people.

After thinking about it, Pompey still accepted the sword.

As a warrior, how could he not like this sword, but he kept this feeling firmly in his heart, and decided to find an opportunity to repay him in the future.

***

The administrator's mansion changed owners again, and Su La and his lieutenant were discussing the latest situation.

Although we defeated Nobanus, we still can't be careless. Scipio and his son still have a large army. If he can't defend, it will be very troublesome for us.

Sura said.

Now his strength has surpassed Scipio, but he dare not underestimate Scipio, after all, it is the Roman God of War family.

Moreover, attacking the enemy's barracks will always result in greater casualties.

And recently we have spent a lot of money, and our supplies are very tight.

Dorabella said.

Haven't the supplies from Greece and Syria arrived yet?

Sura asked.

No.

Dorabella said.

Sura felt a headache. The consumption of tens of thousands of troops during the war was astronomical.

Especially now that food prices are soaring, this kind of consumption is even more terrifying.

Although he made a lot of money in Greece, he couldn't stand such consumption at all.

Moreover, the enemy is constantly expanding its army relying on funds from the treasury, and his army expansion must not stop.

I think nobles and knights from all over the world should be contacted and asked to sponsor some supplies.

Dorabella said.

Su La nodded, and then said blankly: This is a way, and there are cities that support Rome. If those cities are captured, we can seize some supplies from the cities.

Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again.

Seizing supplies will definitely not be too peaceful, and many people will die.

But no one pities them. Since they want to be their enemies, they need to pay a price.
