Roman Slave Owner

　　In the war years, food was sometimes comparable to gold.

　　 Under the leadership of some people, several teams set off from various grain shops and rushed to the official residence of the consul.

　　 Some people along the way also joined the team after learning their purpose. Now the price of food is soaring, and the money earned in a day is not enough to fill their stomachs. Maybe they can follow them to find the consul for some food.

　　 In the temporary mansion of Nobanus, Rutirus was pointing to a map and kept introducing.

"The dragon city is about 700 Roman steps in length and three Roman steps in height. It is mainly made of stone. However, it only has two walls. The other walls are made up of a blue brick wall and a five-meter-thick soil layer. I want to. It's easy to break the Dragon City, but we will pay some casualties."

　　 "Moreover, Longcheng also has an inner city. After continuous reinforcement, this inner city can accommodate at least two legions of troops to garrison in a short period of time. It is more difficult to break through."

　　 "Damn bastard!"

　　 After hearing what he said, Nobanus began to yell.

　　 Because of Li Wei's reckless behavior, he found that he had been forced to a corner.

　　 If you fight, not only Sura will laugh off his big teeth, but even Rome will question his ability.

　　 The enemy didn't solve it alone, but he solved his three legions first.

　　 But if Li Wei is not punished, he will not be reconciled.

　　 Everyone is like Li Wei. What kind of majesty is he as a consul, how can the army bring him?

　　 He felt a little regretful, was he too anxious to force Li Wei to do this?

　　Rutirus closed his mouth and let Nobanus vent his anger.

　　 "What do you think I should do?"

　　Nobanus said.

what should you do? How would I know.

　　 "It's better to promise him temporarily and trick him over. What happens next is our business."

　　 At this time, one of his lieutenants said, this is Brutus who has been wearing a green hat by Caesar for later generations, and then his son assassinated Caesar.

　　 "Seize him..."

　　 Hearing this, Nobanus was very moved.

　　 Although this is dangerous and the consequences are very serious, it is much better than this.

　　 "Good way, just do it like this."

　　Nobanus said.

　　 At this moment, he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from outside the mansion.

"What happened."

　　Nobanus asked.

　　 At this moment, a soldier ran in.

　　 "Reporting to the consul, a large crowd of citizens suddenly appeared outside the door."

　　 "Why are they gathering here?"

　　Nobanus asked.

　　 "It seems that the food in the city has been sold out. They hope the consul can help them solve this problem."

　　 The food is sold out? how can that be?

　　The Campania region is the largest grain-producing area in Italy, and it is close to Sicily, a major grain-producing province in Rome. Egyptian grain ships can also land from here at any time.

　　 If there is no food here, don’t other places have to eat soil?

　　Nobanus’ first impression was that it was impossible. It was possible that someone was going to make trouble. He was the first to think of Li Wei.

　　 "Are you stressful of food here?"

　　Nobanus asked.

　　 "It's not very nervous, but the major grain stores have been restricting purchases during this period."

　　 Rutirus said.

　　 "Limited purchase? What is this?"

"It is said that Li Wei proposed to the major grain merchants. He said that he did not have much grain in his hand, but he couldn't let Capuya's fathers and villagers starve. In any case, he had to squeeze some grain out of his own hands. Each person can only buy enough food to eat for three days at a time."

　　 Rutirus said.

　　 "What a fake bastard."

　　Nobanus said.

　　 He knew without investigating that this is definitely a good way to push up food prices.

　　 He felt that he had seen through Li Wei's hypocritical profiteer essence.

　　 "You don't have natural disasters here, why is the food so stressful?"

　　Nobanus was still a little puzzled.

Rutirus couldn’t answer this. What he didn’t know was that Li Wei used his own grain store to buy food at low prices, and he sent caravans directly to Sicily and Naples to buy food. This directly led to the shortage of food in Capuya.

　　 And Egyptian food, due to the flood of Mediterranean pirates, it is very difficult to transport it to Rome.

　　 Not to mention another source of food in Syria, which was intercepted by Sura long ago.

　　 When he came here, Nobanus’s army did not carry much food, after all, this is a grain-producing area.

　　 The army’s food was all supplied by Kapuya. I didn’t expect this to happen.

　　Nobanus came to a balcony on the second floor of the mansion and saw the consul appearing, and the people of Capuya below cheered.

　　Nobanus first waved to the people, and then gave a soothing speech.

　　Each consul is an excellent speaker. They have been educated in rhetoric since they were young, and they have passed various tests. A speech is as natural to them as eating and drinking.

　　 The mood of the masses was immediately calmed down, but some people still said loudly: "Respected consul, can you lower the price of food, and there are no restrictions on purchases. Our requirements are not many, only these two."

　　Nobanus’ mouth is full of bitterness. These two items are easy at ordinary times, but now it is extremely difficult to achieve them.

　　 But he still said with a spring breeze: "Please don't worry~www.novelmt.com~ I decided to transfer a Spanish food ship, which will arrive in Naples soon, and then transport it to Capua."

　　 "But we can't buy food today, do we make us hungry today?"

　　 someone shouted.

　　 "Yes, when the Spanish fleet comes over, maybe we are starving to death."

　　 "It's all to blame your army for buying out the food."

　　 Someone clamored, and Nobanus looked embarrassed.

　　 "Please rest assured, I will solve this problem tomorrow."

　　Nobanus quickly promised.

　　 After getting the promise from Nobanus, the crowds dispersed in twos and threes.

　　What Nobanus didn't know was that some of them gathered in a tavern.

　　 This tavern is Li Wei’s property, but few people know it.

　　 "Leader, we can do this thing today, right."

　　 said a young man in a short coat with short curly hair.

"not bad."

　　 said a black-haired man holding a glass of brandy produced by the Li Wei family.

　　 This newly produced wine is extremely expensive. As soon as it went on the market, it was enthusiastically praised by major families and has the reputation of the soul of wine.

　　 The Sykes family can't wait to sell them to North Africa. Even the Tulius family bought some and plan to sell them to Greece and Asia.

　　 This black-haired man has a very special identity. He is Morris, the head of the intelligence team formed privately by Li Wei.

　　 In order to find out the spies who tried to steal the sugar formula, after the execution of the Capuja Administrator and the Campania Admiral, Li Wei specially formed an intelligence team for internal counterintelligence missions.
