Chapter 5 The High Priest goes on an expedition (2)

"In the past, there were some disturbances and unpleasant suppression in the city of Rome, but now all the unhappiness has passed. The Republic is on the agenda of recovery. Under the auspiciousness of my core figures such as Pisso, Cicero, Caesar, Pansar and Anthony, the food will soon be transported from various places to the port of Ostia. We are preparing to expand the number of civilians who enjoy free rations of food to 200,000. During the reign of His Excellency Caesar, it was reduced to 100,000. For this reason, the treasury would have to spend three million dinars a year. But for the sake of the well-being of your daily life and the stability of the city, I believe it is worth it. n∈ In ​​addition, the Executive Yuan was previously located in

The office hall of the River Harbor is only temporary. Now this department has a suitable location, that is, Capua, located between the Bay of Naples and Campenia. There will be a thousand high-level slaves trained in confidential, copying, finance and planning, and a hundred senators composed of knights, together with the Chief Chief Ebro, and the envoys of various wartime provinces, who will move to the other side to handle any taxes, books, and recruitment of new personnel related to the provinces. That is to say, your affairs are now free, and you do not need to be too busy with trivial matters, but focus on enjoying the Roman citizens with celebrations and consulting on some key national affairs.

I am planning to expand three to four small wartime provinces after all the wars are over, because now our enemies are still in the west and east of the world. Their total number is close to twenty legions, equipped with many cavalry and archers, and a large number of wealthy cities groaning under their shackles, enduring ruthless exploitation and exploitation. Therefore, we must expel and eliminate the public enemies of these republics. The final revenge for His Excellency Julius. For this reason, huge consumption is essential. Therefore, in addition to the relocation of the Executive Yuan, our ten-member committee believes that it is better to temporarily abolish the cashier affairs of the treasury, but instead concentrate 70% of the taxes within three years to be used for military expeditions. The specific quota will be uniformly allocated by the ten-member committee and the executive Yuan according to the primary and secondary emergency of each battlefield.

All, all I want to say is that I will embark on a new journey soon. And about a month later, Young Caesar will also swear to the battle here, hoping that you will send him off and his legion as if you were to send me off. I am a descendant of King Numa and Rex. Lius. My victory and the victory of the Republic will be sacrificed before the temple. I hereby make a wish that after returning from triumphant, a new temple of Lius will be built next to the new Temple of Love in the Grand Square, so that's all. Please wait for my good news!"

After saying this, Li Bida walked down the steps. The blue-gray smoke on the altar rose on the blue morning sky. The high priest stepped on the horse's back. Mattia and Alp held the mount for him, and then the eagle hand, flag hand, entourage cavalry, and generals walked one by one along the corridor at the foot of Capitoer Mountain toward the camp outside the city.

In the semicircular assembly seat opposite, Cicero and Barcatus stood up first and applauded, and then the other elders also stood up and inspired, "God bless Rome, and all the gods of the Republic bless you and me."

When Li Bida's team was advancing towards Napole, the legions in the various garrisons came back one by one, and the documents mobilized were like snowflakes. "Very good, my dear Karabiya, I will send a powerful fleet to cross the land controlled by Brutu and Kasio, and send the 33rd and 34th legions to assist in the war."

"His Excellency Diotalus, the monarch of Gerasha, is willing to act as a restraining iron wall, so that Urabella cannot unite with the legions of the Syrian province, limit him to a corner of Ephesus."

"His female pharaoh of Ptolemy publicly promoted her 'coldness' towards me. She just said that she would send the full taxes and grains that could support the four legions to eat for a year, and three hundred transport ships to Cyrani as the second tier. Besides, she was unwilling to help me a penny - well...then that's it, she was really cold enough."

"Now the new fleet and new legions of Brundim Port in Cyrene's new city are sailing towards Lelibi."

When Young Caesar was vowing in the city, Li Bida had already crossed the Strait of Messina with his aides. The first several legions had gathered from sea and land to Lilibahar. The entire port city became a huge camp. The cranes on the pier never stopped. The beaches, rivers and hills outside the city were all white barracks, like white sand covering the earth.

Soon, Leo met with Habaruka, the slave in charge who came across the sea, and set up a camp in the city hall of Lilibi. The young man handled everything with the assistance of a group of slaves and knights every day: military pay, account books, clothing and armor, military slaves, food, pack horses, and various ships. He deeply realized what his father said to him before, that is, "If you understand the logistics of an army, you will understand what war is." "For the generals of the Roman Empire, they believed that wisdom and courage were the foundation of the war, but in fact they were wrong. The war always was money, equipment and transportation." "War was not only an art, but also accurate figures and accounting."

When he was occasionally squeezed out for rest, he rode his horse with his father and brother on a horse and walked up to the highland where the city temple was located, overlooking the roaring sea and the vast white fish belly of the sky. "Eighteen years ago, when I followed Julius Caesar to Lusitania, I saw the ocean. The Romans and all other nations believed that it was the edge of the world." Li Bida stared at the junction between the sea and the sky, recalling the past.

"This is true. The maps and books drawn by naturalists say that the world has ended here. Even the Punic ships did not find people or countries outside." Leo sighed.

Li Bida smiled, "Silly child, where is the edge of the world?" Then he looked at the waves that hit the reef in a daze, constantly breaking and repeating, "Eighteen years? I didn't belong to this world, but I am no longer confused now. Leo, Porti, Calabia, and even Caesar, Pompey are all the bonds that coexist with this world. Perhaps the Creator used his irresistible hand to gently put my butterfly into this forest, and then he passed through the sky
