My XX deal with Sister Nero
Page 125
"Sure." Looking at the dozens of bags of large gold coins, Tony felt his eyes were almost dazzled.
Ah...I really want to bathe in gold.
"Well, now that the money has arrived, I will arrange for the craftsmen to get started." Looking at the glittering gold coins in front of him, Nero reached out and touched his brother's head, and said happily.
It seems...my younger brother has grown quite fast recently~
With money, everything else was simple. Under Tony's operation, several construction planners began to build this brand new community according to Tony's ideas.
In fact, Tony is not a top designer, but when he graduated from college in his previous life, he worked in real estate sales for a few months. He has seen many residential communities and real estate projects, and he has a good understanding of house types... Without going into details, it is as easy as copying a few community plans and house types!
And...our Prince Tony happened to have studied engineering drawing, which can be used here.
After spending several days, Tony drew up a community plan that he was quite satisfied with, and then handed it to the construction planners employed by the court.
"This..." Looking at the plan handed to them by His Highness, the construction planners almost exclaimed.
This... Your Highness also understands architecture?
Strictly speaking, Tony's plan was not that earth-shattering. After all, due to the limitations of the times, Tony could not plan any super high-rise buildings, nor could he create all kinds of fancy interior decoration designs. But... Tony at least showed one thing, that is, he really had a certain level of attainment in architecture.
In general, the apartment design is simple and unpretentious (after all, His Highness cannot draw those complicated columns even if you ask him to), and it is quite standard, and there is nothing wrong with it. As for the community planning, the atrium design is quite eye-catching. After all, there is basically no such thing as a community in this era, let alone an atrium.
Shops, pubs, and all kinds of basic needs stores have almost all been designed and planned out. In addition, this community has an independent street office consisting of sheriffs and tax officials. To some extent, the level of completeness of living facilities in this community is basically equivalent to that of a small town.
If such a plan was made by an old man who has been involved in planning and construction for more than ten or twenty years, no one would be surprised, but Your Highness... I have never heard that he knows anything about this before!
Your Highness... is truly an all-powerful genius!
Taking His Royal Highness's plan and making more detailed adjustments to it, within two days, these planners brought hundreds of craftsmen and laborers to the designated location, ready to build this so-called community according to His Royal Highness's idea.
While the community was being built, Tony also began to announce new policies in a timely manner, namely the so-called public rental housing policy.
Logically speaking, if the Roman Empire had any new policies to implement, it first needed to obtain the consent of the Senate before the policy could be implemented.
However, Tony's public housing policy was not approved by the Senate.
Because Tony found a loophole.
At present, public housing is only available in Rome, and other cities do not have this concept yet, so Tony found several municipal officials in Rome and promoted the new public housing bill in the name of the city government.
At this moment, inside the Senate Hall, several senators who were over fifty years old and had gray hair were slamming the table angrily and cursing our Prince.
"Shameless! Bastard! How dare Tony Claudius break the rules set by the God Ancestor?! He is showing contempt for the ancestors!"
An elder who was already somewhat bald stood up and spoke loudly.
Damn it, this guy...actually built the so-called public rental housing? !
According to the Senate, if Tony wants to restore Nero's reputation through public housing, he must first address two issues.
The first is money, and the second is the bill on public housing.
You don't have the money, and the bills... the legislative power is in the hands of the Senate.
But what was unexpected was that Tony not only borrowed money from Vitellius, but also bypassed the Senate and directly asked the Roman city government to promulgate a set of policies.
Is there such operation???
The city government doesn't have the right to announce bills, but it has the right to announce policies, right? If I announce policies at the national level, it is very likely that the Senate will involve it in the bill, but the Roman city government announces a policy... this is not something the Senate can control, right?
"younger brother."
In the study room of the palace, Nero stroked his brother's head while tutoring Tony in Greek. He asked curiously, "Brother... why are you so smart? If you could be the emperor, you would definitely do better than your sister~"
hiss……
Tony looked up at Nero's doting eyes in some surprise, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
His so-called wisdom came from the fact that he could barely be considered a lunar person and had some understanding of Type-Moon. On the other hand, it came from the fact that he lived in an era of information explosion and had a little knowledge of many things.
As for becoming an emperor or something... forget it. If Tony were to become the emperor, he would probably do whatever it takes to establish a constitutional monarchy to relieve himself of the pressure.
Are you kidding me?
"I... I think my sister is doing pretty well. After all, she is an all-powerful genius~" Tony stuttered. What? Did my sister suddenly remember this or something? It was agreed that my sister would be the emperor and I could give her advice.
Besides, if I were to come to power at this time, the conflict between the Claudius family and the Senate would probably be intensified on the spot.
On the other side, the distant Germanic region.
"Killing Hunter?" Hearing this word, Rosa subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Unexpectedly, the intruders who appeared in the Siberian region turned out to be the Killing Hunters!
"However, according to the research institute's analysis, this small group of killing hunters may have accidentally entered this loss belt." Standing behind Rosa, Prince Lampado said expressionlessly.
"Did you break in accidentally..." Hearing this, Rosa subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
The Killing Soldiers are very strong. If left alone, this small group of Killing Soldiers is likely to cause some trouble to the Roman Empire.
Fortunately, the Killing Hunters have a characteristic, that is, the closer they are to Ivan the Terrible, the stronger they are. For example, the Royal Guards, the Killing Hunters responsible for protecting Ivan the Terrible, have a single combat capability comparable to that of a low-level Heroic Spirit.
On the contrary, the farther away from Ivan the Terrible, the weaker the strength of the Killing Hunters. For example, the Killing Hunters unit that got lost in Siberia...it is very likely that they cannot even deal with all the local natives.

Chapter 349: The Demon Pillar Whose Face Was Hit by the Sword of the God of War
In the Roman Empire, there would be an engagement before marriage. For ordinary people, the engagement ceremony was not complicated. Generally speaking, there were three steps in the engagement ceremony. The first step was that the guardians of the man and woman reached an agreement. The second step was that the man and woman swore to never betray each other. The third step was that the man put an iron ring on the woman's middle finger.
But as the Claudius family is a royal family, can their engagement ceremony be as simple as that of ordinary people?
No.
So Tony's engagement ceremony went something like this.
The first step, as Tony's guardian, Nero and Boudica will bring Tony and Princess Ryan to the Senate, in front of six hundred senators, ask both parties whether they are willing to get engaged, if they are, then Nero and Boudica will start a business of flattering each other, saying things like your daughter is dignified and your brother is mighty and domineering, after which, under the guidance of the guards, Tony and Princess Ryan will go to the Pantheon not far away, swear in front of the gods and ancestors of the Claudius family that they will never betray each other and will love each other, etc. After the oath, the two will return to the palace, and in the presence of all the ministers, Tony will put a silver ring on Princess Ryan, and then the engagement will be completed.
In other words...the steps required by Tony are basically completed.
The rest is up to the priest to figure out when is the right time for the wedding and the much-awaited banquet.
"Brother, what do you say...how about getting married in June?" Nero suddenly spoke as he watched Tony reciting the wedding vows like a puppet.
June?
Tony was stunned for a moment. In the Roman Empire, just like in the Eastern Han Dynasty, setting a wedding date depended on an auspicious day. In the Roman Empire, at least one-third of the year was not suitable for marriage. The most suitable day for marriage was... indeed June.
But June...isn't this too hasty?
According to Tony, engagement doesn't matter, but as for marriage...his first marriage partner must be Nero, after all, he is a huge Um fan.
"No, no." Hearing this, Tony quickly shook his head and said, "Sister, look, I'm only fourteen in a few months, I'm still young, why don't you wait a few more years before getting married~"
"In a few years? This..." As an elder sister, Nero certainly didn't want her brother to get married too early, but if the wedding date was not set quickly, it would be difficult to explain to the Iceni Kingdom.
"I'll go talk to Queen Boudica myself." Tony certainly understood what his sister was worried about. It was simply that it would be difficult to explain to the Iceni Kingdom.
Tony didn't have any feelings about the political marriage, and he didn't communicate much with Princess Ryan. Tony's impression of Her Royal Highness was still just that "she is an obedient and sensible little girl". Of course, he also understood that as a member of the royal family, he couldn't have the final say in matters of marriage. But there was one thing that Tony felt he needed to fight for.
That was my first marriage partner, my sister.
But I can't say these words to my sister for the time being. After all, there are many other people around me now. If I express my feelings at this time and the people in the Senate find out, it will be troublesome.
And now there is another problem.
That's Boudica... Did you know that Nero was going to implement the policy of polygamy?
Although in polygamy, the status of wives is equal in name, in reality men certainly cannot treat their wives absolutely equally. Boudica should understand that Tony and Princess Ryan have only met a few times and there is definitely no affection between the two sides. If Tony later has a wife he truly loves, then Princess Ryan will inevitably be neglected.
If Boudica knew about this, it would be fine. She would still send her daughter here even though she knew about it, which shows that she has already realized it. But if she didn't know... then how would she respond when she learned about this new policy?
……
"So... you are here to cause trouble for me?" Looking at the ordinary-looking man standing in front of him, Rosa smiled and said.
"Rosa?" The man with an ordinary appearance looked at Rosa standing in front of him with an indifferent expression and confirmed.
"Yes, my name is Rosa. Don't worry about the two girls behind me. One is Prince Lampado and the other is Prince Katnip... Never mind, you won't know them even if I tell you." Rosa shrugged and looked at the man in front of her with interest: "Okay, I have introduced myself. Now it's your turn. Tell me, who are you? I remember that here... I should have no enemies."
"Orias, that's my name." The man said indifferently.
"Orias..." Rosa touched his chin thoughtfully: "This name... emmmm, ah yes! Are you the pillar whose face was covered with the sword of the god of war?"
???
After hearing what Rosa said, the man named Orias, who had always been expressionless, almost showed a confused expression at this moment.
What does it mean... a pillar covered with the sword of the god of war?
Orias, one of the 72 Demon Pillars of Solomon, was an existence that almost made Rosa laugh out loud when he played FGO.
After all, this pillar... was covered with the Star of Tear and the Sword of the God of War.
"So, Solomon should not know of my existence, and the only one who knows of my existence is Archimedes. In other words, our mathematician teamed up with Solomon and sold my information? Okay, so... Solomon asked you to get rid of me, who is in the way?" Tony sighed and waved to the two princes behind him, signaling them to stay away.
"Speaking of which..." After carefully looking at the man standing in front of him, Rosa stretched and said lazily: "Although I am not as evil as a certain human who can tear Solomon apart with his bare hands, but if I get serious... I think I should have no problem fighting a demon pillar at this moment? After all... I also fought a pillar in FGO before."
As the words fell, a strange-shaped sword suddenly appeared out of thin air in Rosa's right hand!
This knife is about four feet long and four fingers wide. The blood groove is hollowed out and the blade is a perfect bright silver color, which is very beautiful.
"Let's step back a little, Prince Katnip." Seeing the sword in Rosa's hand, Prince Lampado subconsciously took two steps back and said to another prince beside her.
"Well... Your Majesty... You are so serious now. If we don't move away, the consequences... may be disastrous, right?"
Chapter 350 Hehehe~ I need to check my brother's body carefully~
The news of His Royal Highness's upcoming engagement spread quickly throughout the city of Rome.
From the moment he stepped into Rome in the summer of 53 AD, Tony has almost always been in the spotlight.
From refusing to accept the throne at the beginning, to being granted the town of Oderney, to going to the East to defeat the rebels and resist Parthia, to finally suppressing the British rebellion, it can be said that in this short period of more than a year, Tony, as a twelve-year-old boy, constantly refreshed the cognition of all the citizens of the Roman Empire, and made all the citizens subconsciously pay attention to this prince who was worthy of being called a god.
Now, His Royal Highness the Prince is about to get married, and the woman is Princess Ryan of the Iceni Kingdom.
As a result, public opinion in the entire city of Rome exploded again.
After all, a few months ago, after Prasutagus died, Decianus took the opportunity to annex the Iceni Kingdom, leading to the Boudica Rebellion. Almost everyone in Rome knew about this. Then, His Highness Tony returned to Britain in the name of justice, quickly put down the rebellion, arrested and exiled Decianus. At that time, everyone thought that His Highness could not stand Decianus taking the opportunity to bully the weak, but now think about it carefully... This should be because His Highness took Princess Ryan into consideration, so he arrested Decianus in the name of justice, right?
Logically speaking, the common people should have some resistance to such people who take revenge on their own... or abuse their power for personal gain, but Tony... there is no way, Tony has a good reputation among the general public. Although no one has seen the slightest reserve of aristocrats in him, every time he goes out shopping, he is so approachable and does not look like a prince at all.
It is precisely for this reason that the people did not think there was anything wrong with what His Royal Highness the Prince did.
This... is what is called a brain-dead fan.
So, when the Roman citizens learned that His Highness was engaged, they were first a little stunned by the woman's identity, and then... they partied all night long.
That’s right, a carnival, an officially organized carnival.
"Is this...that necessary? Sister." Standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the brightly lit streets of Rome outside, Tony scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
It's not like he had never been in love before in his previous life, but his love affairs in that life were never so shocking. It was just an engagement, but he wanted to make the whole city celebrate?
"Why not?" Nero held a crystal goblet in her hand, and looked at Tony with a blushing face, "I only have this one brother, so of course I have to spoil him well. When he grows up and gets married, I will grant amnesty to the world and pray for him!"
"Emm..." Looking at the wine in Nero's glass, Tony suddenly thought about something seriously.
Our Majesty Nero...how do you like your wine?
It seems... Mushroom never explained whether Nero can drink or not?
Wait a minute, if His Majesty is not a good drinker... emmmmm, Tony pondered for a moment, then looked at Nero with a stiff expression and said, "Well, sister, tomorrow... I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'll go back to my room first..."
As he spoke, Tony subconsciously took two steps to the side, intending to slip away before Nero could react.
Are you kidding! Regardless of whether Nero drinks well or not, the most basic point is that Nero's mind is always dangerous now. No matter how well she drinks or not, if she continues like this, she will act like she is drunk!
Because I was drunk, even if she forced herself on me, I couldn't say anything wrong, right?
Emmm, after all... forget it, I can’t think about this issue anymore. This topic is becoming more and more popular.
"Hey...where are you going, brother~" Nero held the wine glass with a hazy look in his eyes.
Cool! Looking at Nero's eyes, Tony knew that he would have to shoot like crazy again tonight.
"I...I'm going back to sleep..." Tony twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a very forced smile, and said to Nero.
"Ah... yes, it's very late now, it's time for my brother to go to bed~" After taking a look at the sky outside, Nero suddenly looked at Tony with an expression of sudden enlightenment. It's time for his brother to go to bed. Well, it's time for him to sleep with him!
……
Shortly after dawn the next day, at a construction site in the eastern suburbs of Rome, a guard soldier who was in charge of supervision was startled when he saw Tony appear on the construction site with a tired face.
