Chapter 553 Royal Palace
The Jewish uprising was caused by a small group of people who were dissatisfied with Rome and Christianity. You have to know that these people separated from their Judaism, but were surpassed by a new religion. Where is their face?
In order to let Judaism rule the world, they are ready, and even killing as many people as possible cannot stop them from doing things for their nation.

But they not only caused the sorrow of the Jews in Rome, but also brought misfortune to Jews in other countries. As soon as the order from Constantinople came out, the Jews along the Aegean Sea coast suffered. Soldiers came out in droves, arrested Jews, and put them in centralized detention.

The Jews once again enjoyed the fate of being expelled, but this time, they would not wander, but would spend their lives quietly in one place. Not only him, but also his sons, grandsons, and endless descendants, provided that he still had them.

The emperor's anger was indeed terrible, and the Senate had to be very careful in handling affairs these days.

"How long will this last?"

"Don't ask. We have to do this until His Majesty calms down."

"Damn Jews, don't take us with you if you want to die."

Everyone hated the Jews even more. They were the only ones who were eager to get killed.

Baptiste was in favor of this resolution, as it would increase the empire's revenue. He could also relax at the next internal affairs meeting.

"Your Majesty, once all the Jews are captured, where will they be placed?"

Listerine asked the emperor, and Peter felt annoyed as to why he had to ask him about this.

"Anywhere is fine, as long as they never come out."

Listerine found out, and then began to explain the new territory to the ministers.

"Your Majesty has added four provinces to the empire this time: Kiev, Dnipro, Kharkov, and Sibania. Local officials have also been appointed. Now new planning and construction are to be carried out, and a group of people will be selected from various universities to go to the new territories."

At this moment, Peter spoke: "Sibanyia is not imperial territory, but I manage it on my behalf."

This made everyone confused. They didn't know who the empire was managing for. There were still people in the world who let the empire manage on their behalf. This person was too proud.

"I know what you are thinking. The empire has only been in existence for 20 years, but its territory is almost the same as that of Emperor Justinian. This is a huge test for government management.

Spanish Bania is too far from Constantinople, and communication between them is not very convenient, so I plan to let Prince Theodore become the ruler of Spanish Bania. "

After hearing the emperor's explanation, everyone came to their senses. The current territory area was beyond their imagination. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to rest for ten years, otherwise the entire empire would be doomed when the emperor died.

"Of course, recuperation does not mean that we have to abolish armaments. It would not be safe without an army for such a large territory. I will expand the army and expand the standing army of the whole country to the same level as during the reign of Emperor Justinian." This sudden ambition made the ministers feel that they needed to get busy again, especially Baptiste. If he remembered correctly, the number of standing troops during the reign of Justinian was 31, which means that Rome had to expand its army by more than .

Just do it. Who can disobey the emperor's order, especially when the emperor's military power is comparable to Hadrian's.

"Romania is not meant to bring more wars to Europe, but to eliminate them and bring peace and prosperity, not only to the Romans under the empire, but also to everyone else"

Peter told others about the future of the empire. As long as Rome's strength continued to grow, all wars in Europe would be quelled. Peace would also come to this land for a long time. And to achieve this, money was mentioned again.

"Your Majesty, fellow ministers. Times are changing, the environment is changing, the empire is changing, and the government should of course change accordingly to adapt to new needs! I followed Emperor Mircea 20 years ago. At that time, it was still called Wallachia. It only had a few small towns and a population of less than 50 people. It was very inconspicuous. But now the empire has become the overlord of the Mediterranean. The territory is dozens of times larger than it was back then, with a population of more than 1000 million. There are also many forces affiliated with us. It is no longer the small country it was back then.

Twenty years ago, when Wallachia went to war, the total number of citizens who could fight was less than 20. But now, once the empire launches a war, it can easily mobilize tens of thousands of people. The fighting time is calculated in months, and the military rations required are calculated in tons as the basic unit, not including other material consumption, all of which are provided by the empire.

The bigger the empire, the greater the consumption. Can those taxes alone meet the growing needs of the empire?"

Christian was the first to speak up. He knew that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would definitely object on the expense, so he spoke about it first to give the other party some time to adapt.

Baptiste knew that the other party was talking to him, so he stood up. "I know what you are thinking, so I will do my best to serve the empire. No matter what it is, I want to say that you should not push the people too hard. Keeping them alive for a long time is the basis for the continuous tax revenue of the empire."

At this point, the other party could not say anything, but the decision to expand the army was also ready to be implemented. Peter left the Senate and returned to the palace accompanied by the general manager. After the renovation, the palace was more than doubled in size. A long corridor and a large garden were also added. The queen was entertaining ladies recently, and it was very lively every day.

"You know, your majesty, there is only one queen, and no mistress at all."

"Doesn't this show that your Majesty is loyal? If someone can become your Majesty's mistress, even though her reputation will be a little worse, she will also have a lot of wealth and estates."

In the Queen's Palace, several noble ladies were discussing who could become His Majesty's mistress, because they found the royal life a bit too boring, except for the Queen, two princes and a princess, there were only maids and eunuchs left.

From the history books, we know that the private lives of the Roman emperors in the past were very rich. They not only had female lovers, but also male lovers, and even men and women came together. The number of people ranged from a few to hundreds, and they even had several parties.

Look at it now, apart from the banquets hosted by the Queen, the Emperor's private life is probably the most boring.

"Honestly, with His Majesty's attitude, we should all learn from anyone who can impress him."

"That's right"
