Chapter 14 Layout (Part 2)
The cemetery is the destination of the Romans throughout their lives. The nobles have their own family cemetery. The lowly slaves and poor people may be directly discarded into the pit outside the city after their death. The Roman soldiers who were born or served in civilians for half their lives to obtain citizenship will naturally be public cemeteries. Moreover, the Romans' philosophy is that the public cemetery should be located near the city gate and arranged on both sides of the road, so that everyone who comes and goes from the city to the city will be in this world.
People who wander in the long river, whether they were his relatives, friends and children, or strangers who had never lived, could see the epitaph on his tomb, which briefly introduced the character and achievements of the deceased during his lifetime, and left a funny text at the end, "Now you have read my life, I wish you a happy journey." The visitor of the tombstone could smile and leave a message on it with charcoal ink, saying, "You must take care of yourself in that world."
When the dead in later generations were alive, they were busy communicating with the mysterious "God", and the Romans never forgot after their death that they always liked to stay with living people. This is the simple and proud naturalism of ancient Rome.
Of course, Li Bida understood the veterans' psychology, so he asked the stonemasons to arrange the tombs and tombstones in the cemetery according to their service sequence, and the inscriptions were empty, leaving them to be engraved on them as the veterans were dying. The dense tombstones were like teams of hundreds, and I believe no one would feel lonely behind them. At the entrance of the cemetery, there was a memorial monument, which was engraved with simple and clear words on them, engraved with the achievements of the veterans' lifetime or the places where they died.
Bypassing the cemetery, Li Bida and his entourage came to the riverside sidewalk with a sun-covered roof, and looked there silently for a while. It would not take long to flourish here. There would be goods and luxury goods in the city of Rome. There would be also some goods and luxury goods here. In addition, these veterans had houses, land and cemeteries, and were contracted from their birth to death. Just like he did to Hebrida, Crassus would use a considerable amount of money in a few years. Just from Strathy, he would take these three thousand veterans away from his wife and children, and accompany him to the vast Mesopotamian desert and fight against Parthia.
I can't go to Parthia. At that time, the sword is eyeless, and the arrows in the hands of the Parthians will not recognize who I am.
The best situation is to follow Caesar to Gaul and gain greater capital, otherwise I would stay in the city of Rome and would sooner or later be used as cannon fodder by Crassul. However, before that, I did not forget my resentment with Cicero, and now I will use Caesar's hand to tell him to get out.
When Li Bida came to Caesar's official residence on Jukola Street, he was cursing in a low voice. When Li Bida asked about the source of Caesar's anger, it turned out that when Caesar, who was serving as a civil servant, proposed a plan to the Senate through his trusted assistant, Barçatus, who served as a civil servant, said that the resigned consuls could freely choose to go to the provinces. Finally, under the secret instruction of Caesar and Cicero, the veterans decided to make the dignified Julius Caesar become the "Governor of the Forest Street" after leaving office!
This is also the most special type of chief executive in the Republic. This kind of governor does not manage any actual provinces, but controls the great cause of street maintenance and afforestation in Rome. When Caesar was young, he was a low-ranking road administrator and managed the Avenue of Apiñen. This was obviously a special father united his fathers to return to his old career and cut off his ambitions. Yes, these special fathers wanted to send Caesar to the desert of Afilica to plant trees and cover the entire Mediterranean.
"Just make me joke, right? Dear Libidaus, you are here just right, please give me a reply to them with ten times the joke! Cato, Cicero, there must be the Bibruce who is huddled at home!" This was Caesar's request.
Seeing that the time for the rotten medicine was ripe, Li Bida took out the letters that Curio handed over in advance and communicated with Cicero to Caesar.
This is his reward for helping Curio and Anthony. Come and go, but the unlucky one is Cicero who has been secretly betrayed.
Caesar looked at Cicero's letters in detail. Although Cicero had not reached the point of being heartbroken at this time, he still couldn't help but complain about the situation in every letter, that is, how bad the "Julius and Caesar's year of joint rule" was. Of course, the tone of the three monsters was pointed directly at the three-headed monster, believing that these three were destroying the political and legal basis of the Republic, and that he tried his best to persuade Curio, who was "kind and upright", to not be tempted by ambitions and power, and to do the act of betraying friends and citizens.
After reading these, Caesar actually smiled again and said that Cicero is like this, but it also makes me embarrassed. Do you understand Li Bida?
"Your embarrassment is that if you deal with Cicero directly, it will make him famous for his struggle; but if you let it go, Cicero will help Gatu beat the edge drum, and keep making things difficult for you in the Senate like now. If you kill him, it will be a dirty knife. If you don't kill him, it will be like a dirty bug falling into the dish." Li Bida's words caught Caesar's real itchy point, and he said that he nodded frequently, saying that it was because of this that I asked you for your opinion.
"The literati are most afraid of hooligans, so let the street hooligans deal with him. I mean, you should understand, didn't you let Claudi pass the adoption procedure last time through the Curia Conference? Now he is ready to be re-elected as a civilian guardian. And you must do your best to eliminate Cicero and Katu and take them away so that you can rest assured."
"I have understood your measures against Cicero, how should we drive him away?" Caesar continued.
"As long as Claudi can drive Cicero away, are you still afraid that he will not drive Xiao Katu away? Since they are all using the power of the people to expel people, who cares about the way of expulsion?" Li Bida calmly integrated this plan with his own plan to support Ptolemy Twelve. "The best way to seek personal gain is to combine it with justice." This sentence seems to be what Caesar taught everyone before, and he remembered it very clearly, so he continued to speak eloquently, "Ptolemy, King of Cyprus, is the cousin of Ptolemy, the piper who is now living in Rome. This has helped Mitradati before and encouraged the people to kill him.
