Then, Li Bida brought Mattia to the house where he lived, and wanted to let the other party see the novelty, but when he saw something covered in silk cloth in the study, Li Bida smiled and unveiled it. It turned out to be a simple stamping mold of this era, divided into upper mold and lower mold. The upper mold has a handle, and a person can hold it up. The lower mold can be firmly secured on a wooden board or a table with fixed nails. There are round pits and reverse reliefs that are equivalent to the size of a coin. Then, Li Bida snapped his fingers, and a servant who had prepared a long time, carefully poured the melted gold and water into a row of stone slabs that made the holes. The height of each hole just slightly exceeded the height of the coins. After cooling for a period of time, he picked it up with tweezers and slowly placed it in the mold room.

Li Bida then smashed it hard, and the fit between the upper and lower molds turned the small silver pieces into irregular but patterned boards. "This is not the end."

Then he uncovered the scarf of the food next to him, "This thing is what really makes the Roman people fall in love with the new coins. The former mold was given to me by Adiana, and this was given to me by Cleopatra. Originally, only the Ptolemy royal family had it in the whole world, but unfortunately the Pharaoh just treasured it, which was a waste of resources. Later, with the efforts of the Cyrene alchemist, he successfully imitated two things, gathered one set, and sent it here."

Mattia looked closely and found that it was a wooden bed-like thing with some iron skill mechanisms on it. Then Li Bida easily pulled the tail of the wooden bed, clamped it into a line of semi-finished coins with various irregular sides, closed it in the arranged chuck, and then turned the file. Soon the irregular excess shape was cut into a regular round shape.

Then Li Bida proudly handed over the exquisite new coin to Matthia. Matthia looked at it and had to admit that the new coin was indeed better than the previous crooked melons and jujubes in Rome in terms of its quality, appearance and fineness. You should know that there are many dinar silver coins in Rome, and there is no relief pattern on the back, and it is even no less than the Greek Drake silver coins. "However, isn't this character on the front, with the bald one with a crown of osmanthus leaves, the Excellency Julius Caesar?"

"Well, this is natural." Li Bida said, "Who else is this image except him?"

Then, Matthia shouted again in surprise. He also saw the pattern on the back, which was the Latin "imperator", and the words were surrounded by wheat ears and sickles. This person was a little puzzled. After all, he did not have enough mastery of Latin. He also asked about the meaning of the word Li Bida.

"Oh, this is not for the common people. Just recognize the bald Caesar on the front. The word on the opposite side means 'The Supreme Imperial Power'. The silver coin pattern is wheat ears and the gold coin is palm trees." Next, Li Bida saw Matthia's appearance without knowing the clouds, and explained to him in detail, "The wheat ears and palm trees are beautified patterns, and they do not have deep meanings. They just made the Romans fall in love with this coin. The front image of Caesar and the text on the back are of great significance. This is also the fundamental reason why I would rather make the coins look good - Caesar is a man who wants to destroy the republic."

When he said this, he immediately fell into panic. Even Caesar himself, even though he was actually doing this, he still shouted the slogans of the republic on the surface and refused to relax. Li Bida's words were really bold. Fortunately, he was in a private residence, but this person only passed by, and then he talked about the meaning of coins. "In a country, the fastest circulation is the most common, and people are exposed to various coins. So when Caesar and the Imperator are combined, it will be subtle to people in daily life - this bald man is not a simple consul, not a simple citizen or aristocrat, he wants to become the supreme figure in Rome."

"What kind of character is that?"

"It's 'Caesar', and his name will represent his status and power in the future." Li Bida said.

As a result, the dizzy Matthia asked a more courageous question, "Will you continue to be a 'Caesar' after Caesar's death?"

"I just want to be with myself. Of course, if fate determines my position and that name..." Li Bida did not continue to speak below, obviously it was too secretive.

The decree to restrict luxury was promulgated, but later it was revised. Li Bida changed the "three hundred" in the "sans of 300 Seths at the market at one time" to "six hundred". Not only that, he also relaxed the types and limits of luxury goods, allowing goods and goods from all over the country to enter the Roman market in an orderly manner. Therefore, his financial resources were changed into three ways: one way was to use bonds to raise money, and all the way was to draw taxes on luxury goods (the tax was heavy, but the nobles would still grit their teeth to buy and do not worry about business), and the last way was to directly mint new coins with old coins taken from temples and nobles.

After scattering some of the coins to activate market circulation, Li Bida carefully calculated and sent the coins that were urgently needed in the Caesar War, and received unshirkable rewards. "It's a pity that I won't be able to take office for a long time, but everything will last for the third time. Your current power is still a creator, that is, a mystery, and next time it will be maiora." Caesar said in the letter.

Both words mean "divination power". The Romans are very superstitious, so the division of power of public officials is based on the influence of his divination result. Minora means "low-level", while maiora means "high-level". That is to say, when Caesar takes office as the consul or Dick's long next time, the promised official rank is not a building official, but at least a legal officer, a legion commander (a legion commander with the power of the consul, rather than a legion commander who is the deputy general) or an inspector (this age seems to be unnecessary to think about it).

But Li Bida often said "maxima", which means "totalitarianism", which is usually owned by the CEO and dictator Dick Thiduo. However, there is also a sub-point "maxima" divination rights owner, that is Dick Thiduo's official deputy - one or two "cavalry commanders". When Dick Thiduo is not there, he can drive the same power. Although Li Bida is also doing this now, "status" is very important in any world and era.

So Li Bida began to plan to go to Sicily and go to the vanguard of Afilica with Curio. As a result, in the port of Napole surrounded by a sea, Li Bida took his entourage and guards to look at the sea without any plaques with resentment, "Curio, will you give me such an answer?"

When he sent the token officer to inform the Governor of Sicily, Curio, and asked him to send a fleet to pick up the six, thirteen, fifteen and sixteen legions left by Caesar, and crossed the sea, Curio chose to be arrogant and silent and uncooperated.
