Planet Rebirth

Caesar did not break his promise, and at the private banquet held for him by Pompey, he became a well-deserved protagonist, and his charm convinced all the men present, as well as the women.

Caesar is the most outstanding descendant of the Julius family. He was born in a noble family, and he has excellent cultivation and knowledge. Being awe-inspiring, it also makes those young women mesmerized.

Soon, before the banquet was halfway through, Caesar had hooked up with the daughter of a member of the Senate, and the two had sex in the guest room. A request to speak nice words in front of my father.

At the climax of the banquet, Caesar raised his glass and announced to everyone present: "From three days onwards, a gladiatorial performance funded by me will be held in Rome, and this series of celebrations will continue. One month!"

Everyone was cheering for the generosity of the Governor of Gaul, but Pompey, the owner here, had a worried expression on his face.

Sure enough, three days later, the splendid city of Rome ushered in the greatest moment in more than ten years, and all the people flocked to the arena expecting a grand celebration.

Caesar rode in his chariot, escorted by his own bodyguard to the arena, and was again cheered by the crowd along the way.Countless flower petals scattered on his body, he smiled and waved to the crowd with complacent eyes.

When the arena was packed with spectators, a dozen carriages suddenly appeared, cruising around the stands, loaded with heavy boxes, and the slaves on the carts opened the boxes, and the crowd erupted in exclamation, because the boxes were full Full of gold coins.

The slaves grabbed the gold coins with both hands and tried to throw them away from the stands, which made the audience even more crazy.Ordering to bend down to pick up these gold coins, and even snatching each other, also caused a chaos in the scene.

All of this is what Caesar wants to see.

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

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

A senator whispered to Pompey, "Why didn't you kill him?"

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

The congressman said indignantly: "But he can't be so arrogant. His [-] Gauls are stationed outside the city."

Pompey said confidently: "In a few days, he will go to the south. What awaits him there is his end."

The congressman asked: "Where you are, you are not afraid that the saliva of the Romans will drown you."

Pompey smiled and said, "Keep him out of Rome. Disappear from the public eye, and let him be caught in a protracted war. The people will soon forget him. At that time, my Southern Legion will destroy him."

Members exclaimed: "This is a civil war. The Roman Republic has seen something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years. The Romans are going to kill the Romans?"

Pompey said: "This is the only way to destroy him."

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

Pompey pointed to the prisoners being slaughtered in the arena and said to the congressman, "If you show mercy to him, it won't take long. You will end up with the slaves below."

A month later, the cold sea wind pushed big waves against the port of Aretien one after another.An Egyptian merchant fleet of twenty large ships docked at the pier just before sunset.Amidst the whips and the curses of the supervisors, the slaves began to fight off the goods on the ship in batches, and loaded them into the long-awaited bullock carts and transported them to the city.Except for a small amount of spices and high-quality purple dyes, this batch of goods is all the iron ore most needed by Rome.Egyptian merchants in pointed hats stood on deck and were arguing loudly in Greek with the waiting Roman merchants about prices.These profiteers from all over the world are engaged in endless contests for their own interests.

Caesar is wrapped in a thick toga.Strolling on the pier with a blank face.Two days ago, he ordered Anthony and his kind Brutus to lead almost all the soldiers in the Gaul Legion northward to capture Patavien and Mediolanum.Only he and his poor city defense troops were left in the territory of the Julius family.

Two days ago, he had just arrived in Arethion from Rome, and he accepted a new mission from Pompeii to go north to block the Macedonian attack.He is already fifty years old.Clearly aware that the importance of his current work far exceeds the war in the north.

Although he has 10 Roman regular troops, these [-] people are not wooden people. They need food and weapons.After Rome was unwilling to pay enough gold coins for his expedition, he had to find his own way.In addition, he also had to prepare for his further plans, all of which Yang Rui taught him to do.

It's a lot of work.Although the construction of the barracks can be completed when spring comes, there are still a lot of clueless things that make people upset.Weaponry is trickier due to the scarcity of iron ore.Rome was an iron ore-scarce region.Most of the metals needed for military and construction purposes are imported from overseas, making metals the second most expensive item after purple dye.The government had to hand over a lot of silver Tyron to some profiteers who had a lot of ore resources.And both of them cheated and made huge profits from it.Making crafting a suit of armor harder than delivering a difficult baby.

"My lord, the merchants are already waiting for you in the conference hall." Tris, the subordinate, stopped Caesar in his footsteps.respectfully reported to his master.

The large conference hall was filled with noble businessmen in the city. There were about 300 people. They were the most powerful elite business people in the entire Julius family territory.Today they were summoned to the Governor's Palace, waiting for the latest order issued by Caesar, the interim supreme officer.

Caesar walked into the conference hall alone, which made the already somewhat dull atmosphere even more depressing.The people made way consciously and watched Caesar pass by them humbly, with the uneasiness in their hearts palpable in their words.

All Romans were in awe of this fine descendant of the Julius family.He is not as affable and approachable as Pompey.Whenever such a meeting is held, the hall is always full of joy and peace.Pompey greeted everyone he knew with a warm handshake.Talk about something new that happened recently.Or even make fun of someone's wife and comment on it.After bursts of laughter, the conversation was brought to the point.
