My XX deal with Sister Nero

Before the Nero Festival, Tony reached an agreement with Vitellius. With the help of Vitellius's industries, he opened the market openly and became the banker. He made a lot of money using modern mathematics and then gave half of it to Vitellius with satisfaction. The remaining half... for Tony, was already a considerable amount of money.

At the same time, just as Tony expected, the half of the country ceded by the Iceni Kingdom was eventually incorporated into the Odeni Territory at Nero's request. Relying on this half of the Iceni Kingdom, the Odeni Territory has now achieved a balance between income and expenditure again and almost no longer needs financial support from the British province.

Of course, the British province is now the territory of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Tony plans to use the money to buy a theater, hire a few actors and two good playwrights, and generate some sustainable income for himself.

As for the remaining money...why not use it to set up a bank?

However, I don’t know much about the operating model of ancient money houses, so I’d better put this idea of ​​a bank in my mind for the time being.

What Tony asked Dita to do soon received a response.

For now, the rental price in Rome is similar to what it will be in the future. It also depends on the location. For example, the rent near the Pantheon is incredibly expensive, while the rent in other more remote places is relatively cheaper.

But in general, the rent in Rome is around one gold coin per month, equivalent to about 1500 yuan.

This price was still within the affordable range compared to the wages of Roman citizens. After all, generally speaking, the daily wage of unskilled workers was one silver coin, and the monthly salary was about three gold coins.

"Ten silver coins..." Tony frowned and thought about it. In his previous life, the monthly rent for public housing seemed to be about 60% of the market average price? In other words, the price of public housing would be about six silver coins?

Six silver coins... This shouldn't be a burden for everyone, right?

but……

"No one wants to live with freed slaves, and the freed slave class... six silver coins should be a considerable burden for the freed slave class, right?"

After some thought, I decided to build a public housing estate for the freed slaves on the other side of the river.

Anyway, these public rental housing estates were built in the name of the country... Never mind, I'll just go and argue with the Senate tomorrow.

In addition, Tony also plans to implement some policies to reduce taxes on civilians. Anyway, the Roman Empire is now prosperous, so what if he reduces taxes a little?

"Brother, can you sleep with your sister tonight? It's cold tonight and I want to hug something so that I can feel warm when I sleep." Nero looked at Tony hopefully, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"I'll sew a pillow for you later." Tony said casually while humming a little tune and cutting the pork chops on the plate.

Ever since she confessed her feelings to my sister, she has become almost as explicit as Overlord.

She looked for Tony almost every day and asked to sleep with him for various reasons.

For example, yesterday’s reason was that I hadn’t slept well in the past few nights, and I hoped to have a peaceful night’s sleep holding my younger brother.

What a joke! Tony heard from Evebia in the morning that our Majesty slept so well last night!

"A pillow? Is it a pillow that you hug?" Nero was stunned for a moment, scratched his head curiously, and asked.

"Yes, that's right, hug the pillow when sleeping." Tony nodded.

When I was in school in my previous life, the Ministry of Education promoted the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Then the stupid primary school I attended taught students how to knit sweaters and embroider in labor classes, so... Tony mastered these two skills that he hardly used in his previous life.

Knitting a sweater is a little complicated, and Tony never used it again after he learned it, so it would be a bit unreasonable to ask him to knit a sweater again now.

But sewing a pillow...it wasn't a big problem. After all, sewing and mending were not as complicated as knitting a sweater. Besides, when Tony grew up, he occasionally sewed his own clothes, which in itself was not a big mistake.

"No! I want to sleep with my brother in my arms!" Nero shook his head and said.

"But I..." Tony sighed and raised his head. He was about to say that holding the gun for a long time is not good for the body, but suddenly he saw Nero's aggrieved face and tears in his eyes...That person, yes, it's you, Awei, it's time for you to perform your death on the spot again.

He took a deep breath and silently chanted Namo Amitabha countless times in his heart, forcibly suppressing the urge to move his cock to show respect.

"But I...I...okay, I'll sleep with my sister tonight, but! Sister, you can't hug me!" Tony said righteously.

PS: I found that everyone in my group is talented. Everyone is thinking about how to dress like a woman. Am I the only one who is so fresh and refined?

Chapter 342: My sister’s figure is really exciting!

The night view tonight is beautiful.

Lying on his side on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside through the window not far away, Tony sighed and suddenly wanted to sing a song of Quiet Night Thoughts.

There is no way. After all, our little Tony is…completely! asleep!

Moved by Nero's murderous expression, Tony agreed to Nero's request on impulse at the dinner table, the request to sleep with Nero.

However, in order to prevent himself from accidentally doing something in the middle of the night, Tony made it clear that they could sleep together, but not in each other's arms.

After all, I was no longer a virgin in my last life, so in this life... I'll just treat it as such for now, right? Well, what if I accidentally touch something that shouldn't be touched while sleeping, then... how embarrassing would that be?

However, Tony was still too young.

After dinner, Nero patiently accompanied his sister in the study to review some documents. Seeing that it was almost time to go to bed, he excitedly pulled his brother towards the bathhouse.

That's right, in Nero's words, you have to take a good bath before going to bed~

At that moment, Tony felt like he was on a business trip to Northeast China in his previous life.

It’s just that there is no mixed bathing between men and women in Northeast China.

To be honest, Tony really didn't want to go to the bathroom.

The reason is simple, embarrassing!

Tony, who is twelve years old and has already learned the basic physiological skill of raising the flag, is very worried. What if... he accidentally has some inappropriate reaction in front of his sister? This, this, this... would be very embarrassing, right?

Originally Tony wanted to turn around and leave, but...how could our Emperor let him go so easily?

Thus, a large-scale mass grave of A Wei unfolded once again.

In desperation, Tony took a deep breath, silently chanted Namo Amitabha more than ten times, and then walked into the bathroom.

Nero's bathhouse...or baths, was huge.

No matter in the history of the previous life or in this Type-Moon history, Nero was a person who loved extravagance and luxury. Of course, in this era, there was no noble who did not like extravagance and waste.

Looking at the huge and steamy bathing area, Tony took a deep breath and looked carefully at the white towel wrapped around his waist. After making sure that his little penis was covered tightly and could not be seen from outside, Tony carefully touched the side of the bathtub and slid into the bathtub as quietly as a thief.

"Brother~ come here~" Through the steam, Nero vaguely saw Tony sliding into the bathtub, so our Emperor stood up happily, waving his hands, hoping that his brother could come closer to him.

"Don't..." Unlike Nero, Tony subconsciously moved a few steps to the side along the marble wall of the bathtub as he watched his sister stand up.

Damn clairvoyance!

Tony was a little nearsighted in his previous life. Although he could not distinguish between people and animals at a distance of 20 meters, in this steam-filled environment, he could only make out the outline of an object 20 meters away. But it was different in this life.

Not to mention that Tony himself is not nearsighted, the most important thing is that, for some unknown reason, ever since the heroic spirit Tony appeared in the world, His Royal Highness suddenly found that his eyesight is gradually getting better.

It's not just farsightedness, but... Tony finds that he can see things much more clearly.

So now, what stood before Tony was not the hazy shadow of Nero, but... a clear Nero with some water droplets on his clothes.

Namo Amitabha!

Tony subconsciously moved a few steps to the side along the marble wall. At the same time, he looked up as much as possible at the ceiling, which was a masterpiece of art, and silently recited various Buddhist and Taoist mantras in his heart.

A certain part of His Royal Highness's body has shamefully stood up!

Well, it’s not like Tony hasn’t seen girls without clothes before.

What about Shiina Sora, Sakura Moeko, Mari Rika, Tony has been through hundreds of battles in his previous life!

What? You mean in real life? Are you kidding? Tony had seen girls without clothes in real life in his previous life, right? Wasn't that the yandere girlfriend before?

As for this life...except for Jie Luo, he has never seen anyone's body.

Ahem, well, yes, this is just a normal physiological reaction, and it’s not something to be shameful about.

"Brother?" Nero vaguely felt that Tony seemed to have slipped a little to the side along the marble wall of the bathtub. He subconsciously took two steps forward, trying to pull his brother to his side.

"Don't come over here!" Hearing the sound of water, Tony subconsciously lowered his head and looked forward. When he saw Nero walking towards him with a strange look on his face, Tony finally couldn't help it and bright red liquid flowed out of his nostrils.

This... must be a problem with the bathtub!

After hurriedly climbing out of the bathtub and wiping off the water stains on his body, Tony quickly changed into a set of dry clothes and, with the help of a maid, lay on the bed with his head tilted back, trying his best to prevent the nosebleed from continuing to flow.

"Ah...are you okay, brother?" Not long after, Nero, who was dressed, came to Tony and looked at him with some concern.

"It's okay, just a little... a little dizzy. I'm much better now." Tony lay on his back on the bed, trying his best to avoid looking at Nero.

Oh my god, other words are easy, but can you first tell me how to translate the word "shanghuo" into Latin?

And then again, you said I had a nosebleed in the bathtub and I could have just said I had a fever and ignored it, but if I was bleeding from the nose right now, what would I say?

I can't say that my elder sister has a great figure and it makes me very excited, right?

"Are you really okay?" Nero looked at Tony suspiciously and asked worriedly.

"...I have something to do and need to go back to sleep!" Tony was stunned for a moment, then he turned over and stood up from the bed, saying with a serious face.

"Hmm, I'm glad that my brother is okay!" Nero grinned and reached out to take off Tony's clothes.

"Sister, what are you doing!" Tony subconsciously took a half step back and fell back on the bed. He covered his chest with his hands with a look of horror and looked at Nero sideways.

"...Shouldn't you take off your clothes before sleeping?" Nero asked with his head tilted, somewhat curiously.

"...Okay, sister, go blow out the candles and I'll take off my clothes myself." Tony said in a low voice while pointing at the candles not far away.

"Hmm, my brother is still shy~" Nero was stunned for a moment and then smiled and walked towards the direction of the candle not far away.

PS: I have some things to deal with in the past few days, so the update will be very late. Don’t stay up late, go to bed early, and just read it the next morning.

Chapter 344: Giving My Sister a Helpful Hand

"I have learned in detail that the area on the south bank of the Tiber River in the eastern suburbs of Rome is not currently owned by any private individuals. Therefore, I would like to open up a community there in the name of the imperial government to accommodate the homeless."

Inside the Senate Hall, Tony stood in the center of the hall, looked around at the elders, and spoke loudly.

"Your Highness... I think we should understand what a community is," Vanore said, looking at Tony awkwardly.

"Ah... a community." Tony scratched his head, forgetting that there seemed to be no such thing as a community in this era: "I plan to combine several buildings together and divide them into an area, which is the so-called community."

"Oh..." Vanore nodded and said, "Your Highness means... in the name of the government, a piece of land should be allocated on the south bank of the Tiber River in the eastern suburbs to build houses to accommodate these homeless people, right?"

"Yes." Tony nodded and said.

"Your Highness...Forgive me for being blunt." Vanore frowned and said, "According to your Highness, since we are going to house the homeless, then we definitely need to build more than just one or two buildings, right? Although the imperial government can directly use the land without having to spend money to buy it, building a building or even renovating the house and buying some simple furniture, Your Highness, all of these will cost money."

"I know." Tony nodded and said.

Spend money? These things definitely cost money. Tony is not a fool, how could he not know that this would cost money?

"Your Highness, there is not much money in the national treasury right now." Vanore spread his hands and said helplessly.

???

Are you kidding me?!

Tony looked at Vanore in shock, feeling as if this old man was playing a huge joke on him.

As we all know, the two most prosperous dynasties of the Roman Empire were the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the Antonine dynasty. The most prosperous era of the Julio-Claudian dynasty was undoubtedly the early period of Nero's reign.

That's right, it's the moment Tony is at now.

You told me that the imperial treasury has no money? Huh? Are you really taking me for a fool?

Seeing Tony's unbelieving expression, Vanore coughed lightly before saying, "Your Majesty, think about it, although the Roman Empire has income, it also has expenses, right? Building roads, official salaries, and various miscellaneous expenses. In previous years, the empire's income was greater than its expenses, and there was even a considerable deposit in the treasury. However, the empire has been plagued by frequent wars in the past two years. First, Thrace and other regions betrayed the Roman Empire, followed by the attack of Parthia, and the Boudica Rebellion that broke out not long ago. The provinces on the Anatolian Peninsula and the British provinces of the empire not only have no taxes to speak of, but the imperial government has to allocate funds to these provinces for post-war reconstruction. At the same time, the imperial soldiers who died and were injured in these wars need a certain amount of pensions, and the compensation from Parthia is not enough for these... plus the budget for next year, Your Highness, the empire is really out of money now."

???

I see you are farting!

Tony sneered in his heart. To be frank, Vanore just didn't want to pay the money. As an old man who had been in the political arena for decades, Vanore could roughly guess what Tony was planning.

The purpose was nothing more than to enhance Nero's influence among the people by building so-called public housing estates and to erase as much as possible the negative comments about ceding half of the Egyptian province.

But will Vanore agree?

Just kidding!

"Your Highness, how about this?" Vanore said after thinking for a while, "I heard that Your Highness made a lot of money recently. Why don't you advance the cost of building this community? After a few months, when the taxes from the provinces are collected, we will return the money to Your Highness with interest. How do you think?"

how is it?

Not much!

Tony sneered in his heart. If he really did that, all the good reputation would fall on his head.

Listen, in order to find a way to provide housing for those who cannot afford it, His Highness paid the money out of his own pocket when the empire was in financial difficulties and built such a so-called residential area for everyone to live in.

Then what? Then everyone will naturally be grateful to Tony.

But what's the point of Tony being grateful?

Tony's reputation among the people has now reached a certain level, and this good reputation can only serve as icing on the cake for Tony at most.
