Chapter 134 Heroes of Rome

Caesar did not break his promise. At the private banquet held for him in Pompeii, he became the protagonist. His charm impressed all the men present, as well as the women.

Caesar was the best descendant of the Julius family. He was born into a noble family and had excellent cultivation and knowledge. At the same time, his military exploits made him famous. In addition, his reputation for massacring the Gallic barbarians made him stand out in front of everyone.

Being awed by others also makes those women who are full of love intoxicated.

Soon, before the banquet was even half over, Caesar had already hooked up with the daughter of a senator. The two of them had a coquettish meeting in the guest room. After being satisfied, the woman agreed to be with Caesar for her.

The request to speak well in front of the father.

At the climax of the banquet, Caesar raised his glass and announced to everyone present: "Starting from three days later, a gladiatorial performance funded by me personally will be held in Rome, and these series of celebrations will continue.

One month!”

Everyone cheered for the generosity of the Gallic governor, but Pompey, the owner here, looked worried.

Sure enough, three days later, the city of Rome in full regalia ushered in its greatest moment in more than ten years. All the people flocked to the arena to look forward to a grand celebration.

Caesar sat in his chariot and was escorted by his own guards to the arena. Along the way, he was once again cheered by the people. Several petals were scattered on him. He smiled and waved to the people, his eyes filled with contentment.

When the arena was filled with spectators, a dozen carriages suddenly appeared, cruising around the stands. The carriages were loaded with heavy boxes. The slaves on the carriages opened the boxes, and the crowd burst into exclamations because the boxes were full.

It's full of gold coins.

The slaves grabbed the gold coins with both hands and tried hard to throw them away from the stands, which made the audience go crazy. They ordered them to bend down to pick up the gold coins, and even snatched them from each other, which caused a chaos in the scene.

All of this is what Caesar wants to see.

The audience who received the gold coins stood up and shouted: "Great Caesar, long live Caesar."

Caesar also sat in the stands and waved to the crowd.

One of the senators whispered to Pompey: "Why don't you kill him?"

Pompey said: "He has won the hearts and minds of the people. If we kill him, we will become enemies of the whole of Rome."

The congressman said angrily: "But we can't let him be so arrogant. His 100,000 Gallic legions are stationed outside the city."

Pompeii said confidently: "In a few days he will go to the south, where his end will be waiting for him."

The senator asked: "Where can you not be afraid that the saliva of the Romans will drown you?"

Pompey smiled and said: "Keep him away from Rome, disappear from the public eye, and let him be immersed in a long war. The people will forget him. By then, my Southern Army will

It will destroy him."

The congressman exclaimed: "This is a civil war. The Roman Republic has seen something that has not happened for hundreds of years. Are the Romans going to kill Romans?"

Pompey said: "This is how to destroy him."

The MP asked: "Is there no other way?"

Pompeo pointed to the prisoners of war who were being slaughtered in the arena and said to the congressmen: "If you are soft-hearted towards him, it won't take long. You will end up like the slaves below."

A month later, the cold sea wind pushed big waves to hit the port of Aretien one after another. An Egyptian merchant fleet consisting of twenty large ships docked at the dock before sunset. The slaves were on the skin.

Amidst the curses of whips and supervisors, the goods from the ship began to be taken down in batches, loaded onto the long-awaited bullock carts, and transported to the city.

Except for a small amount of spices and fine purple dye, this cargo was all iron ore that Rome needed most. The Egyptian merchants wearing pointed hats stood on the deck and the Roman merchants waiting for them were arguing loudly in Greek.

The issue of price. These profiteers from all over the world are engaged in endless competition for their own interests.

Caesar was wrapped in a thick toga and was wandering on the dock with an expression on his face. Two days ago, he ordered Antony and his good friend Brutus to lead almost all the soldiers in the Gallic legion to go north to capture Partavian and Mei.

Dioranum went away, leaving only one man and a poor city defense force in the territory of the Julius family.

Two days ago, he had just arrived from Rome to Aretium. He accepted the task given to him by Pompey and headed north to stop the Macedonian attack. Already in his fifties, he clearly understood the importance of his current job.

Sex goes far beyond the war in the north.

Although he had 100,000 regular Roman troops, these 100,000 people were not wooden men. They needed food and weapons. After Rome was unwilling to pay enough gold coins for his eastern expedition, he had to find a way on his own. In addition, he also

He must prepare for his further plans, all of which Yang Rui taught him.

This is a arduous task. Although the construction of the military camp can be completed in the spring, there are still a lot of unclear things that make people upset. Weapons and equipment are even more difficult due to the scarcity of iron ore. Rome is a

Areas where iron ore is scarce. Most of the metals needed for the army, construction and other aspects are

Imported from overseas, this has also made the price of the metal always the second most expensive item after purple dye. The government had to hand over a lot of silver talon to some profiteers with large ore resources. And on both sides of them

Fraud and profiteering make it more difficult to build a suit of armor than deliver a dystocia.

"Sir, the businessmen are already waiting for you in the conference hall." Squire Tris stopped Caesar's footsteps and reported to his master respectfully.

The large conference hall was filled with the city's aristocratic businessmen, about three hundred people. They were the most powerful elite business group in the entire Julius family territory. Today they were summoned to the Governor's Palace to wait for Caesar, the temporary emperor.

The highest order issued by the supreme commander.

Caesar walked into the conference hall alone, which made the already dull atmosphere even more depressing. People consciously made way out of the way and watched humbly as Caesar walked past them, and their uneasiness was palpable.

All Romans were in awe of this outstanding descendant of the Julius family. He was not as amiable and approachable as Pompeii. Whenever such a meeting was held, the hall was always filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Pompeii
