Roman Slave Owner

"He's my brother. I didn't expect you, General, to know my brother?"

Gaius Lamia said excitedly.

"I just met once and said a few words."

Levi said.

Elius Lamia was a very wealthy knight in Rome and had a strong appeal among the knights. Unexpectedly, he also intervened in the taxation of Asia.

Some officials and businessmen introduced themselves one after another, and Li Wei dealt with them just right.

In his capacity, there is no need to be too polite to these people.

But those Roman merchants are still very powerful, and if possible, Li Wei also wants to get their support.

The next thing was the welcome banquet. Lebiris held a grand banquet for Li Wei, and almost all the celebrities from the provinces of Asia came to attend.

The banquet was held in a palace full of Greek styles. The Greeks came to Asia for hundreds of years to colonize, and they established a large number of city-states here. Later these city-states were conquered by the Persians, and these Greeks had to submit to the Persians.

But Alexander's expedition rescued them from the rule of the Persians. For Alexander, a fanatical Greek fan, people here still like it very much.

Greek beauties shuttle among them, providing them with various services.

Looking at these beauties, Caesar's eyes lit up. It would be great if he could hook up with one... no, a few.

Lucias looked at him quite badly, this damned second-generation official.

If there is no his uncle, how could Li Wei let him be an adjutant, he will drive this guy away sooner or later.

Of course, Li Wei was the center of the banquet, and some people who thought they were important surrounded Li Wei.

"General Li Wei, I don't know how likely you are to win this expedition. I heard that Bendu has an army of 300,000, but it's hard to deal with."

Ramia said.

"There are only a few people from Bendu, with native chickens and dog ears. No matter how many people there are, it doesn't make sense."

Li Wei said disdainfully.

"As expected of the youngest triumphant general, we are here to wish the general a triumphant return."

King Diotarus of Galasia said flatteringly.

"I wish the general a triumphant return."

"I wish the general a triumphant return."

"..."

Everyone raised their wine glasses, and Li Wei drank the wine with a smile, then glanced at Diotaros lightly.

Xiao Mian's desire to restore the country is not something that can be achieved simply by saying a few good words, it has to pay a real price.

The atmosphere of the whole banquet was extremely warm, and people flattered Li Wei. Of course, Li Wei just listened to it and never took it to heart.

"I don't know what the general plans to do with those spoils of war?"

Ramia said.

"If you want, I can give you a lot of spoils."

Levi said.

Every Roman expedition will be accompanied by merchants who help the army dispose of the spoils, of course at very low prices.

Then they transport these trophies to various places and sell them, making huge profits from it. It can be said that everyone gets what they need.

"This is really nice and I hope to be able to buy some slaves and ship them to Rome. Only there will be some hard-earned money for me."

said a Roman merchant.

"You come here less, who doesn't know that you are the richest among us."

"I am very interested in the land and real estate in Bissinia, and if the price is right enough, I hope to be able to buy some real estate there."

"no problem."

Li Wei said that he agreed to all the requests from these people.

Seeing them discussing the distribution of spoils, Diotarus smiled carefully, but he was probably the only one who knew the worries in his heart.

It seems that Li Wei is not interested in helping him restore the country, what should we do?

It would be bad if he wanted to annex Galacia.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lebiris.

Lebiris gave him a reassuring look, and he was a little relieved.

The banquet was finally over, and Li Wei felt extremely tired.

He didn't like dealing with these merchants, but he had to enlist their support for the war.

Lebiris took Li Wei and his personal guards to the residence prepared for him.

"This is an estate purchased by Diotaros. When he learned that you were coming, he insisted on dedicating this estate to you."

Liberias said.

Li Wei toured this manor. This manor covers an area of ​​at least two hectares. There is no shortage of gardens and pools. In addition, there is a hot spring where you can enjoy hot spring baths even in winter.

The status is even better. It seems that Diotarus really put a lot of thought into it.

"Did you take his money?"

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, he gave me 200,000 deutsche marks, and many other precious gifts and beauties. He also promised that if I could persuade you to help him restore the country, he would give me 300 deutsche marks worth 300 German marks in Galasia. Vandermark's property."

Liberias said with a smirk.

He understood Li Wei's character, and there was no problem with collecting money, but he had to make it clear.

After all, Rome is like this in this era, and it is unrealistic to ask them to be clean.

"It's not impossible to restore the country, but he has to promise me a few conditions."

Levi said.

He had already thought about how to deal with Galacia.

Rome's system is such that allies are responsible for providing soldiers to help Rome fight.

The provinces are responsible for providing taxes, and generally do not need to provide soldiers, and sometimes provide assistance such as civilian husbands.

This time he wanted to divide many places into provinces, but in order to reduce the casualties of the Roman army, he needed a large number of allies to undertake some dangerous tasks, which would help improve his prestige in the Roman army.

Although he recruited some Thracians and Numidians, he felt that it was not enough.

Although the Celtics' combat effectiveness is not very good, they are justified anyway, so he actually wants to position Galacia as an ally of the Romans, so as to recruit a large number of troops.

"What are the conditions, General Li Wei, please tell me."

At this moment, a tall red-haired Celtic girl appeared in front of her.

This young girl has a noble demeanor, giving people a charming and sexy feeling, and she looks quite like the later generations of Taylor Swift.

"Who are you?"

Li Wei frowned and said.

"Her name is Manimi, and she is the daughter of Diotaros, the princess of Galacia. Diotaros is worried that no one will serve you, so he specially ordered her to serve you here."

Liberias said quickly.

"Princess Galacia?"

Li Wei was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Diotaros even sacrificed his daughter in order to restore the country.

This beauty trap is really a big deal, should I accept it or not?

"Monimei is willing to be a slave and a handmaiden, and serve General Li Wei for the rest of her life. She doesn't ask for anything or ask for anything in return."

Monimie lowered her head and said with a flushed face.
