The person Li Bida rescued was very eye-catching. He was the little Crasus, a very reckless and brave soldier under Caesar's tent, and Crasus's biological son. Some days ago, he led the cavalry team to work on the task of contacting Iduca City. Because Caesar, who had not waited for any mercenaries and elephants, could only rely on his own strength and prepared to cross the Douro River and penetrate deep into the Lusitania area, so he needed the assistance of the Iduca people. Who would have thought that the little Crasus would be surrounded here?

At this time, Little Crasus believed that he was in danger and was blessed in disguise. Libida's entourage and soldiers entered the city, put the osmanthus leaves symbolizing glory on his head enthusiastically, and sent mellow wine to praise his bravery, as if the battle to defeat the Avasilis was achieved under his leadership. But young people were always bloody and vain. Little Crasus was soon floating under Libida's "sugar bomb attack". He met the respectful Libida in his tent, and then the other party told him that soon, dozens of tribes in Northern Lusitania would come to Iduca to pay homage to him, expressing his surrender to Rome, and as the object of protecting Crasus and Caesar, he hoped to have the honor to hold this ceremony to demonstrate your great glory.

"No, my dear Libida, I think it is better to let Governor Caesar receive this ceremony." Although Libida was fluttering, he was not yet demented. Of course, this was what Libida hoped. He needed an intermediary to beat the sloppy. So he told Libida again that my auxiliary army killed many barbarians against Rome during the battle on the flank of Lusitania, and captured some spoils. Since you are unwilling to command the ceremony, you must represent Caesar. As soon as possible, pacify the order of the local barbarians. Come and welcome the arrival of His Excellency Caesar several days later, and then I am willing to sell all the spoils as the expense of the ceremony.

This compromise suggestion made Little Crassus very satisfied. He asked Li Bida how to handle the sale of trophies in a short time. Li Bida replied that it would be the entire Celtic festival, "May Day", and we summoned all the barbarian tribes in the place in the name of peace and set up camps to sell the trophies (which is equivalent to selling the wealth near Spain to Lusitania in disguise). Leave the details to me.

On May Day, Li Bida's military camp was hung with olive branches symbolizing peace. Outside the camp, a huge camp was set up, and two huge burning firewood piles were burning to increase the festiveness of peace and trade. The soldiers and centurions began to sell various precious objects, exquisite utensils, swords inlaid with gold and pearls, burial objects in the noble cemetery, amber necklaces of noble women, etc. Some even brought the corpse stinking or dry blood from their former owners, while the barbarians drove a cart.

After a bucket of fine wine was drunk in front of the campfire, they gathered in front of the camp. Their women were noisy, asking for this and that, and instigating different suitors to compete for more and more expensive things to flatter them. There was a noise of bargaining everywhere. Of course, overall, the entire festival and the camp open day were very harmonious and entertaining. In addition to dozens of fights and murders in the mud, the causes of these events were either conflicts in terms of purchase and sale prices or jealousy to please women.

Li Bida let Little Crasus sit in the gorgeous camp, negotiating various issues with the barbarian elders representatives, the division of the new territory, the tax burden of the tribe, etc. In fact, Li Bida was mainly in actual operation. He used Sabo Kemus' translation to mediate and quarrel with the elders fiercely. The details even reached the abolition of the private debts of individual indigenous peoples. However, when the documents were signed, Li Bida would respectfully submit it to Little Crasus to make a decision, making the other party dizzy. When they encountered major issues, they had no right to make a decision, so they put it aside and said that they would decide when Caesar came.

This is actually Li Bida's specialty - delaying time and messing up Crassus's mind.

Because on the other side, Habaruka was in another camp, together with several confidential slaves, quickly counting the proceeds of selling the spoils and making corresponding arrangements.

The final result was that the time and task were urgent for sale, and the income was 380 tarants, and taxes were levied in advance in various regions. Together, there were nearly 600 tarants left.

Soon, the next day, Li Bida was playing the trumpet and gathering all the soldiers in the camp, and then he announced a surprising news, "In the previous war, I was honored to have dinner with everyone, build camps together, live and die together, but I have to announce that for you - the war is over, the auxiliary army is like this, it is built in a hurry and then scattered. The Thyme Legion can only retain a backbone of a thousand-man brigade for the Governor to decide to stay. As for most of the comrades in this camp, I regret to say goodbye, but it will

I give you a generous gift, which includes three parts, severance, resettlement and pension, which is enough for you to return to your tribe and city." After saying that, Li Bida called Habaruka and others to disperse all the four thousand soldiers, each of whom received a fee of five hundred dinars. The rest of the backbone soldiers who were left behind - most of whom were slaves from Sardinia. They did not consider their money for the time being, and only hoped to continue serving, but Li Bida also gave them a salary of one hundred dinars each, as the reward for their previous loyal service.

This cost him more than 200 Tarents, and then he gave him fifty Tarents bribes to General Mago alone. The whole process was very efficient. Soon most of the soldiers in Libida's camp left. Then Libida called Habaruka and handed him 50 Tarents gold, asking him to give it to Little Crassu, "Is this the cost of bribery?" Habaruka asked.

"No, his father's wealth still needs us to bribe him? Tell him that this is the cost of holding a surrender ceremony for Caesar." Li Bida grinned and said with a smile. Then he called in Sabo Kemus and handed him five Tarent's gold coin bags, "Dear Sabo, this is your reward, I will leave Spain soon."

"But Your Excellency Finance Officer, this is at least equivalent to my salary for fifteen years. I am grateful for your purchase of Celtic benches for my mother." Sabo Kemus declined seriously.
