"He uses farming as a kind of entertainment and a source of wealth." - Plutak commented on Lao Gatu

———————————————————

Until the sunset was setting, the 11th and 12th Legion successively broke through two chariot battalions and slaughtered a large number of barbarians. The two teams finally joined together and completely split the Helveti camp in half. The two chiefs of Helveti drove away and left tens of thousands of servant tribes. The abandoned them had to surrender to Caesar.

In front of a scattered car camp, the bloody sun was setting and the military horn was roaring. Caesar rode his horse, then jumped down, spread his arms and walked over to Rabinus, Libida and Apis kissed and hugged each other warmly, "Let's verify this great moment together. Today we killed no less than 30,000 barbarians and captured 50,000 to 60,000 people."

"Perhaps we can also speculate that the more than 100,000 Helveti people who escaped will last for a few days before surrendering to us." Rabinus joked. He knew that these barbarians who had completely defeated the organization and fighting spirit had turned into flocks of sheep. Without logistics and abandoning most of the women and children, they could not last for three or five days.

But Caesar's expression was very serious. He asked the customs and customs of the tribes ahead of Apis, and then asked Apis to send several envoys, "It is strictly forbidden for any tribe to take in the Helvetis or provide food, otherwise it would be treated as an enemy of the Roman Republic."

All Gaul tribes understand that once they are labeled as "enemy of the Republic", they will be killed and destroyed.

At this time, Caesar saw Li Bida who was pondering and laughed, and asked the other party if he was thinking about what level of reward the 12th Legion that performed well during this period needed. Li Bida seemed to be shocked when he heard this and said, "What I worry about is not the question of whether there is a reward, but the question of how to use the reward..."

Caesar also became silent. His eyes turned and looked at the distant mountains and wheat fields in the south, as if he had seen the city of Rome.

Although Caesar claimed to kill nearly 100,000 prisoners of Helveti, a considerable number of barbarians broke out, and the six legions that were put into Rome also suffered heavy casualties. After a rough count, no less than 2,000 people died. The disabled were two to three times. Next, Caesar relied on setting up a camp near the city of Bibrakde, carefully buried the bodies of the dead soldiers, and treated the injured. The entire army was forbidden to go out, and a large number of supplies sent by tribes such as Eduyi were also sent one after another. The camps and markets of war slaves were also carried out "unswer". Under the operation of Caesar's many economic slaves and staff, the mines and cities of Marseille and Liguria came here to buy a large number of low-cost war slaves. Now the food is sufficient. Caesar himself announced that the price of all slaves was not only lower than one-third of the normal market, but also bears the food during the slave trade process.

The money obtained, including the weapons of the Helveti, the goods auctioned, and the "gifts" from other servant tribes who were extremely frightened, were amazing. Even if the assets are no less than 2,000 Tarants now (of course most of the money is invested in Ptolemy, and I have not seen the money recovered yet), all the legion generals Zorri's richest (and the lowest-key) Li Bida also admitted that Caesar made a fortune in the war.

Rabinus privately answered Li Bida because he had promised to tell the other party before: In this war, Caesar won 80 million to 100 million Seths. This is the fundamental reason why he launched the war.

However, Caesar is not as good as Crasus. Crasus' assets are perfectly deductible: villas, cemeteries, workshops, farms and mines. As long as Crasus obtains his name, he can spread money at any time and organize a private army of ten legions. Caesar is different. Before setting foot in Gaul, he was still a bankrupt settlement with debts, and his assets are vague and unreliable. If he was just a war dealer who wanted to make a fortune, then his goal would have been achieved now, but Caesar was Caesar after all. It was obviously not the case, just as Li Bida reminded him before, "The reward of war, such things that are won with swords and blood, should be concerned about how to use them."

So, Caesar decided to spread all the money surplus within these three days, leaving no asar to himself.

Part of it was given to the centurion and soldiers, part of it was given to the capable staff, and part of it was transported back to the city of Rome for bribery to the nobles.

Five years ago, Caesar was not interested in other than the common people who wandered on the streets; but five years later, Caesar would become the most glorious and popular figure in Rome.

You know, but as far as the army is concerned, only the 10th legion was founded by Caesar's bloodline, and there are two auxiliary legions. He likes Apis because of his talent. However, although Apis' political stance is similar to Caesar, this king is extremely principled and a fanatical follower of the Republic. Under his leadership, Caesar no longer regards the 11th legion as his own direct line (half-direct line).

Therefore, only Rabinus and Libida, who Caesar trusted the most. As for the other deputy generals, Caesar had to spend countless money as lubricants to slowly integrate them into his system.

Two days later, Li Bida returned one million to Sesie whom Caesar gave him, leaving only 500,000. This surprised and worried: Did Li Bida get angry? Because the gift from the other deputy generals was 2 million to Sesie.

"The reason for leaving behind 500,000 is to be used as a pension and reward for the soldiers of my troops." This is Li Bida's explanation. "As for the remaining one million, it is not too much for me personally, and I don't care about this money, but for you now, any amount of money is precious."

"Well, you asked me to use this million Seth to the for you, which will bring greater benefits than your personal possession." There was no one in the tent, and Caesar's speech was very open, "I understand what do you want this million Seth to the for you, what do you want me to run for you?"

"The chief of the Colonial Committee of Yunonia, the War Act of the Takeout Republic to assist the "Pizzer" in restoration." Li Bida did not want to ask Caesar alone, but he also understood that with his connections and qualifications, even if he had money, it was far from enough to operate such a national-level business in Rome. He had to rely on Caesar's "shell", not to mention that most of his money is now soldered in venture capital.
