Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 190: Negotiation

Unfortunately, due to limited space, the remaining serialization continued on the second day.

At this moment, Pompey suddenly found a line of bold characters.

This newspaper will serialize various war records in the next period of time, if you want to be published in the newspaper, please contact this newspaper.

Seeing this, Pompeii couldn't help but feel a heartbeat. It would be great if his own war records could be on it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, should he discuss this matter with Li Wei?

At this moment, he discovered another piece of news, what is it?

The Roman consul Lepidus formally sued Livi, the admiral of Campania, demanding that Livi make a public apology to him and stop publishing the Roman Journal. Livy strongly condemned this, claiming that the newspaper did not violate a single Roman law, and that the reports of the Roman Daily were true.

Li Wei will present the evidence in court. If everything is true, Li Wei hopes that the consul will be humble to him.

Unexpectedly, their relationship has become so bad, even to the point of going to court.

Is your choice right?

There are too many people who oppose me recently, and Li Wei is a pretty good help.

At this moment, a slave came in, "Master, this is a wedding invitation sent by Li Wei."

"Invitation card?"

After Pompey took it over, he took a closer look. Maybe it's time to repair the relationship with Li Wei.

***

Both Li Wei and Lepida worked desperately, increasing their chances of winning.

Don't look at the consul who sounds extremely majestic, but it also depends on who he is facing.

Pompey returned from his expedition to the east. After completing three triumphal ceremonies, he once sent someone to directly injure a consul, and beat the consul out of his psychological shadow. As a result, he didn't come out at home for several months, but Pompey farted. Nothing.

Li Wei is very confident in his victory, and he himself has great energy in the Roman Senate.

There were at least a hundred senators who owed him money, plus the generals of Sulla in the Senate, they were born to be Lepidus' opponents, so there was no way he would lose.

As Lepidus pointed out that it would take time to collect evidence, the court will be held in three months. During this time, Li Wei devoted his energy to preparing for the wedding.

He sent someone to pick up Emilia from Capua, and at the same time sent someone to notify his father-in-law, Camillus.

After hearing the news, the excited old man left Africa by boat the next day and arrived in Rome as fast as he could.

But when he learned that the Archon was prosecuting Levi, he was almost freaked out.

He is just a down-and-out nobleman in Africa, and the governor of a province can almost decide his life and death, let alone the consul.

In Li Wei's villa, Emilia was helping Li Wei tidy up the toga, because today Li Wei was going out to meet Sura to discuss marriage.

"My son-in-law, do you think we should apologize to the consul? It's really not good for you to say that. As long as you admit your mistake, this matter will be over."

Camillus said cautiously.

"Admit your mistake?"

Li Wei looked at the father-in-law in surprise,

"Do you know that he wants to return the property of those exiled nobles and knights, and she also wants to return all those exiled nobles and knights. If what he said is really successful, then I will lose nearly 50 million dinars of property."

"5000 dinars?"

The old man's eyes are protruding, he is so rich?

50 million dinars, how much is that?

Taxes in the province of Africa are not so much.

"When Sulla invited me to join them, I made a condition that he would give me 20 million dinars, and Sulla agreed. Half of the 20 million was paid on the land of those exiles, and later I gave the rest All 10 million was invested in the purchase of land. At that time, the land was worthless and very cheap. In addition, I also bought a lot of real estate in Rome, and the appreciation of these real estates has never exceeded 50 million.”

Levi said.

The father-in-law was stunned in shock, he didn't expect his son-in-law to be so rich.

Let alone 50 million, he doesn't even have 1 million dinars now.

Soon Camillus' face became grim. He clenched his fists and said loudly, "My son-in-law, you are right. For this kind of person, we must punish him to death."

Fuck, my father-in-law's face-changing speed is fast enough.

Emilia covered her face in shame, it was too embarrassing, I don't know if this father can quit.

"By the way, what kind of marriage method will be used in this wedding?"

The old man asked the question he was most concerned about.

There are three ways of marriage in Rome, one is the oldest wheat cake marriage, which is the way of marriage between nobles and nobles.

The ancient Romans regarded cracked wheat as the most precious and ancient sacrifice, and they would offer it to the gods.

According to this law, the wife lived only to please her husband, who had complete marital power over her.

The wife is officially owned by the man, and the wife has no independent property rights, and all his property belongs to the husband.

The second type is marriage by purchase and sale. The husband buys the wife with a small sum of money. This is mainly used for marriage among common people. In ancient times, common people were forbidden to use the method of selling cakes for marriage. Husbands in buying and selling marriages also have complete husband rights.

The third type is customary marriage, that is, a man and a woman live together for one year without interruption, which is considered a legal marriage. But as long as she does not live with her husband for three nights in a year, it means that the wife is out of the power of the husband and is not controlled by the husband. This type of marriage later became more and more popular among Roman women, who used it to get rid of their subordination to their husbands.

"How about a wheatbread marriage?"

Li Wei asked, he remembered that Camillus and the others seemed to be down-and-out aristocrats, but after all, he was the one who got rich.

In fact, he didn't want to have a Roman wedding, but a holy wedding, but finally gave it up.

The current holy religion is still very weak, and it is not easy to be too high-profile.

"no problem."

Camillus said excitedly, "And where is the wedding?"

"The Temple of Jupiter."

"Who is the officiant?"

"What do you think of Aurelia?"

Levi asked.

"who is she?"

"She was born in the famous Cotta family in Rome, the wife of the justice Gaius Julius Caesar, and the younger brother and sister of the consul Lucius Julius Caesar."

Levi said.

In fact, the Romans were very fucked up, and often gave the eldest son the exact same name as his father. For example, the historical Julius Caesar's father was also named Gaius Julius Caesar, and the father and son had exactly the same name.

Since the officiant needed a woman who had given birth, Li Wei thought about it and thought that Aurelia was better.

Good character, I hope Emilia can learn from her, don't learn from those Roman ladies, especially the Pulkerna family and the little Catona family, the whole family is full of sluts.
