Since the city of Prenineste was captured, Levy sent some soldiers to **** some of his business-savvy slaves to Rome to buy cheap industries.

　　 Sibel was making a fuss about going, Li Wei thought about it, and sent her over.

"Yep."

　　 Li Wei nodded, "You lead the way."

　　 It is the first time he has come to Rome, and he is not familiar with it.

　　 The soldier took it through the streets and then came to the Roman Forum.

　　 As long as you cross the Roman Forum, you can go directly to Palatine Hill.

　　 At this moment, a soldier in front suddenly stopped.

　　 "Why don't you leave?"

　　 someone asked.

　　 "Look at..."

　　 The soldier pointed to a corner of the square and said.

　　Even if they were killed in the blood of the corpse mountain, they were still shocked.

　　 I saw all kinds of heads piled up to look like Jingguan. There were men, women, and old people. They opened their mouths and made silent complaints to the world.

　　 "These are the elders, knights, and their families who were killed by Sura's orders. They are all designated as national enemies."

The soldier who led the way said, "And two days ago, General Quintus Ofila wanted to compete for the consul, but Sura refused. General Ofila came to the square to give a speech and was killed by the Suras. Now, you have to be careful, General."

　　 Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

　　 Ofila was the general who followed Sura on the expedition to Greece and Pontus, but he did not expect that Sura would kill him when he said it.

　　 Sura’s idea, Li Wei understands, is to be a lifelong dictator.

　　 The dictator can only be appointed by the consul, but the two consuls, Mario and Capo, are either killed or declared as public enemies of the country. In this case, they cannot be appointed as dictators for life.

　　 But there is another way, that is, when the consul is killed or cannot be contacted, a dictator can be elected by the citizens' assembly.

　　During the Second Punic War, it was because the consul in Spain could not be contacted. For the first time, the Rome Civic Assembly elected a dictator by election.

　　 "I see, let's go."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 They hurriedly left the square. Fortunately, it is winter, otherwise it might cause a plague.

　　 Li Wei felt that he should persuade Sura to get these things out of the city.

　　 came to Palatine Hill, went up the mountain road, and finally came outside a large villa.

　　 The soldiers outside the villa saw Li Wei and quickly saluted a Roman military salute.

　　 Not long after walking in, a figure rushed over with a gust of fragrance, and then hung on Li Wei like a koala.

　　 "Master, you are finally here, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

　　 "Come on, let me see if I have lost weight these days and how I have become like this."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 He visually inspected the indescribable part, but it was still big, white, and plump. This did not change.

　　 It’s just that the face looks thinner, and there are dark circles around the eyes.

　　 "It's not because I've been killing people these days, so I don't dare to go out."

　　 Xibel rushed into Li Wei's arms and said coquettishly, while twisting and twisting.

　　 Li Wei couldn't help but took a breath. This little Nizi became more and more powerful, and Li Wei was about to rebel.

　　 He lightly patted the indescribable part of Sibel, "Don't make trouble."

　　 Sibel looked at him aggrieved, but with a hint of sly in his eyes.

　　 "You don't know, I haven't slept well these days, how about we change the house in a few days."

　　 Hibel said.

　　 "No problem, you can do whatever you want. Let me see your results."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 Hibern gave a smile, and quickly brought a few large boxes of documents.

　　 "These are the results of our time. I don't know how many houses have been bought in Rome. Many of them are villas. In addition, there are many other land deeds..."

　　 Li Wei took a look at the accounts and found that there are indeed many good properties.

　　 And the price is lower than he thought.

"We are still abiding by the rules, Sura and Metera are even more exaggerated. I heard that they don't need to spend a penny on some real estate, and they just take it away. One of their free slaves bought it for 500 dinars. A real estate worth 1.5 million dinars is simply too profitable. Another slave, in order to possess the knight’s estate, directly convicted him of a public enemy of the country, and heard that he is in a lawsuit."

　　 Hibel said.

　　 "It's really too much."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 Of course, this is only from the perspective of Rome. If you look at it from the perspective of the East, you are already very benevolent without punishing you.

　　 At this moment, he suddenly stopped.

　　 "You guys even bought this place."

　　 Li Wei pointed to a place on the papyrus and said.

　　 "Is there anything special about this place? It's just on the outskirts of Rome, and you have to cross the river. If it's not on the high ground, there is not much value at all. The Tiber River is often flooded."

　　 Sibel asked curiously.

　　 Because that place is called the Vatican!

　　 There are a few people in later generations who don’t know the Vatican, which is the holy place of the Catholic Church and the residence of the Pope.

　　 "How do you think we build a castle here?"

　　 Li Wei said, if a legion can be stationed here, it is estimated that the senators of the Roman Senate will go crazy.

　　 "Okay, do you just need to do this? We already have so many houses."

　　 Hibel said.

"necessary."

　　 Li Wei said, just the name of the Vatican is enough, just think of it as a courtyard in Rome.

　　 "So good."

　　 Xibeier said, anyway, Li Wei's money is too much to play. It is estimated that even Wei doesn't know how much money he has now.

　　 Looking at these land deeds, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt that these land deeds were full of blood.

　　 "How do you think we build a school? Adopt those war orphans, and use these assets to train them into the best fighters."

　　 Li Wei said, and at the same time secretly added a word with the door.

　　 "Why do you do this? You already have enough customers."

　　 Hibel asked.

　　 Although there are enough customers, some are not loyal enough.

　　If you want to do big things, especially to subvert the system, you need to train some diehard people from an early age, otherwise you may end up being assassinated by his men like Caesar.

　　 Li Wei is extremely confident in his own force, but he does not have much confidence in the loyalty of his opponents.

　　 If he wants to be emperor, he even suspects that Getta might betray him, so he needs some fanatical loyalists.

　　 At this moment, a guard walked in.

　　 "Patriarch, General Sura sent someone to invite you to a banquet, saying that there is something to discuss."

　　 How did he know that he was here soon? Is the news fast?

　　 "I see, tell the general I will go."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　***

　　***

　　 "Hahaha, Li Wei, I didn't expect you to come so soon, but why don't you notify me when you come."

　　 Li Wei did not expect Sura to meet him personally, and gave him a very warm hug.

　　 "I just came here too."

　　 Li Wei said with a smile.

　　 The two walked into the villa together. At this time, the family banquet was ready, and it was very rich.

　　Metella and Sura’s children were all there, and a pair of bears and children made a big noise, making the family banquet extremely lively.

　　 "Although we won the victory, I just got the news. Nobanus fled to Africa, and Capo is off the coast of Sicily. We can't be careless, we must capture them all."

　　 After a few words of homely, Sura went straight to the subject.

　　 "That's right."

　　 Li Wei took a mouthful of peacock meat and said, I have to say that the Romans can really eat it, but even peacocks can eat it.

　　 Li Wei thinks this is a bit violent, but since he has done it, he can catch it and eat a few mouthfuls.

　　 "Your army is the closest to Sicily. I hope you can lead your army to Sicily and capture Sicily Governor Bourbon and Capo."

　　 Sura said, Li Wei's record has proved his ability, Sura feels that there is no problem in entrusting this matter to him.

　　 "I think it is enough to leave this to Getta, let him lead the four legions to Sicily, and occupy Sicily there is no problem at all."

　　 Li Wei thought for a while and said.

　　 Sura frowned, "Well then."

　　 There are not many formed troops in Sicily, it is impossible to resist the army of Getta.

　　 "One more thing, you see that Rome is so chaotic now, because there is no strong person under the control. I want to be a dictator, reform Rome, and get rid of Rome's ills. What do you think?"

　　 Sura said.

　　 Li Wei played with the red wine in the glass and looked at Sura’s smiling face. He said without thinking, "No problem."

　　 "I'm talking about a lifelong dictator."

　　 Sura said, and then looked at Li Wei with a smile.

　　 Li Wei frowned. He felt that the atmosphere of the banquet seemed to have changed a little, and it seemed that the banquet was not good.

　　 I don't know if Sura will ambush some swordsmen in some places. Once he refuses, he will throw the cup as a sign, and then all swords and axes will come out and kill him here.

　　 "No problem, but I have a condition."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 "Just mention something."

　　 Sura breathed a sigh of relief. His subordinates are Li Wei's strongest ~lightnovelpub.net~ As long as Li Wei can be dealt with, then his resistance to being a dictator will be largely eliminated.

　　 "I hope that no one will covet my property, including the method of making sugar, the method of brewing, and the skill of sword-making."

　　 Li Wei said that what he worried most was that Sura coveted his sword-making skills. This was a great temptation for everyone who aspired to dictatorship, even if Sura took the initiative to serve as a dictator afterwards.

　　 "No problem, I want to know how many steel swords that you can produce in a year at the rate of 10,000 dinars."

　　 Sura said.

　　 "About 5,000 pieces. To do this requires extremely precious materials and time-consuming."

　　 Li Wei thought for a while and said.

　　 "Sold 3,000 to the country every year, remember to make it cheaper."

　　 Sura said.

　　 "How about 5000 dinars?"

"too expensive."

　　 "4000 dinars."

　　 "Too expensive."

　　 "3000 dinars."

　　 "Could it be cheaper."

　　 Li Wei looked contemptuous, and he had no money to pretend to be a big head of garlic.

　　 "2000 dinars, can't be lower."
