"As a dual talent, I have only one request from you. At least give me one of the talents to have three effects! Or like the First Auxiliary Legion, give me the ultimate single talent, and then naturally produce two constraints. Practice the talent of protection for me!" In the area near Syria, Virgilio finally figured out the development direction for Thirteen Roses.
Renato said that he did not want to develop according to the development direction set by the Tenth Knight Legion at all, and just wanted to get out of the house. As for the so-called position of Caesar's personal guard, he could also give up and hand it over to the Tenth Knight Legion as a part-time position.
However, Renato's keen intuition told him that if he really said these words, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow, so now he can only silently bear the steel fist of the Tenth Knight Legion and wait. Recruitment for the war in Eastern Europe.
Caesar cannot feel the frustration of Thirteen Roses at all. Of course, even if he can feel it, Caesar will not take it to heart. The beating of the Thirteen Roses Legion by the Tenth Knight Legion is closer to a good thing for Caesar. Because you are weak, you will be beaten to death. Look at the Tenth Knight, he was not beaten to death, so more exercise is good for everyone.
Of course, the most important point is that these are all minor problems. Caesar has been in a state of headache since returning to Rome. Rome is too noisy now.
Let's say that on the day Severus died, the Senate was collectively crusading against Pompianus. There was no way, and the mortgage of a state-owned mine in Pompianus and several people was exposed, although this was not a big deal. , but the people who couldn’t stand it were too greedy.
Although most of the businessmen who lent money to Pompianus knew that Pompianus had double mortgages, they did not doubt that Pompianus could not repay the money. What they cared about now was the interest. , this group of people forced Pompeanu to increase the rate of return in the Senate.
"Don't even think about it!" Pompianus roared angrily. "The interest rate agreed upon at that time is the interest rate. Now if you want to increase the price, get out of here. You think I'm afraid of you because there are so many people. Anyway, it's a state-owned asset mortgage. The worst-case scenario is that my financial officer quits, and you won’t even get your capital back! Hang me if you dare!”
Pompianus is so stubborn. He knows very well not to look at the screams of those businessmen who are greedy for money, but absolutely no one dares to say that they will get rid of him, because now that Pompianus is kicked off, they will Not to mention making more money, you may even lose your capital.
"Your method of mortgaging a handicraft workshop to several companies is simply cheating. If we lose money, we will be ruined!" The businessman in the Senate looked angrily at Pompianus. Cursed.
"Loss? Do you look down on me, or do you look down on your vision? You bastards, some of you really don't know that I mortgaged a high-quality asset to several companies! And you really don't know what I did with the money? Pompianus took a small hammer and began to knock on the stone table. While knocking, he pointed at the people below and cursed.
"Then you should be considerate of us people. The property accumulated by our six, seven or eight generations has been lent to you for development. You can give us some reliable rate of return!" The businessmen of the Senate have already begun to force the palace. .
There was no way, the businessmen of the Senate discovered that Pompianus was cheating after getting the money. Mines, workshops, farms, and pastures were springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. It grew out just as fast.
Then there was the cement formula obtained from the Han Dynasty, and the cement kilns built for this were started to be built in various provinces like a refresh. It didn’t feel like development, it was just Pompianus’ money. A conspiracy to squeeze their industry.
If at first they were worried that Pompianus would not repay the money he borrowed, and later they were worried that Pompianus would kill them after borrowing the money, now they are not worried about the second point at all, because there are businessmen in the Senate. One-third of the elders all borrowed money.
At this point, what they originally feared was no longer possible, and even outstanding jurists such as Papinian and Ulpian thought so.
As a result, the Roman Senate turned into a state of chaos again. Those who had pretended to be dead and sick ran out again, and then the group of senators who had borrowed money from Pompianus began to circle around Pompianus. Pianus wants to increase returns.
"It's not reliable yet. It's 10%. Look at it clearly. 10% is okay. Don't go too far!" Pompianus said with fire in his eyes. "As for what you said has been accumulated for six, seven or eight generations, I I just want to say, you bunch of bastards, if I had as much money as you, I could overthrow you guys in one generation, so many generations only shows that you are weak!"
"Pompianus, don't go too far. Be careful, we will take back all the money we borrowed from you!" As a senator with a seat, Nelius really couldn't stand Pompianus's rebuke, let alone Pompiannus. Nusi's words were indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
"Okay, if Nelius won't lend you money, which one of you is willing to lend it!" Pompianus turned to look at the others without saying anything. Now he is the boss, relying on the backbone and elite accumulated in the past, Once the money is available, quickly copy the previous business model.
As for land, environment, and personnel issues, Pompianus has the Roman Empire on his head. Is this a problem? Not at all. As long as the money is in place, large state-owned factories and small factories will be copied quickly!
After all, the long-term foundation accumulation in the past has allowed Pompianus to accumulate a large number of middle and low-level elite backbones. In the future, as long as the old ones lead the new ones, even if it is slower, the place will be successfully established. As for the management issue, wait until Rome- The soldiers who returned from the battlefield and were discharged and resettled can save some expenses and solve hidden dangers at the same time.
After all, just thinking about the madman Severus who arranged an army of about 300,000 in the Parthian-Roman battlefield, Pompianus's small treasury is about to explode. Even with Parthian to replenish health, this troop strength is really a bit abnormal. , and it is very important to copy large state-owned factories, create jobs, and solve resettlement and living problems while disbanding soldiers.
To be honest, Pompianus is no longer too lazy to calculate how much money these places can earn for him. What he wants now is to support people and stabilize the welfare of Roman citizens. Making money is no longer important, as long as the places he builds can It’s not a loss if you are self-sufficient!
Every more job position is equivalent to the position of one more Roman citizen, and every more position of Roman citizen, the Roman Empire has more hope of solidity and making money. Pompianus's realm has surpassed the Senate. Businessman.
Making money was no longer the most important thing to Pompianus. He found new ways to deal with Roman businessmen embezzling state assets.
That is to arrange Roman citizens into state-run factories. No matter what kind of factory it is, they are not required to do anything. As many people as possible are packed into it. As long as it is ensured that the factory can be maintained and can provide services to the Roman citizens involved in it. Just send money.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if those businessmen could still embezzle state-owned assets. Yes, it is indeed a very profitable factory, but all the money earned is distributed to Roman citizens. If you have the guts to embezzle it, then drive these people away. Get out, if you don’t drive out, you won’t make any money at all, but drive out? See if the Roman citizens dare to kill you!
Pompianus was very confident in the Roman citizens. After all, no matter how much the senators of the Senate talked about it, no matter how many titles they added, they were still just Roman citizens. Caesar was so arrogant but he was actually just the first citizen of Rome. How arrogant was the Senate? That's only relative.
To Roman citizens, the senators in the Senate were just that, they were very impressive, but everyone was basically on the same level.
To put it simply, imagine the Senate senators as billionaires, ordinary European barbarians, and civilians who are almost equivalent to ordinary people in society, and serious Roman citizens are equivalent to having tens of millions or hundreds of millions in their hands. Rich man with small assets.
Although a boss with tens of billions of assets can easily kill such a small tycoon with tens of millions or hundreds of millions of assets, it will be very troublesome if there are more than a dozen of such people in a group, and if there are hundreds of groups, it will be very troublesome. Think about the question of who capsized the boat.
So when Pompianus was replicating his own large-scale workshops everywhere, he suddenly realized, who are the senior senators in the Senate? I let Roman citizens control all the main money-making businesses in Rome. Let me see if you can still Can it be controlled?
Because of this mode of thinking, Pompianus is not afraid of this group of people at all. Unless these guys are really united, then there is no way. Consider yourself unlucky, but the problem is that it is completely impossible to unite. Well, most of the businessmen here are now in the Being semi-suppressed by their uncle, lending money to themselves for development and then earning interest is more reliable than doing business on their own.
Regardless of the fuss, in fact, to be realistic, don't you just want to get more money? What a greedy thing. Pompianus was a little irritated. Everyone knew that he couldn't go astray and ruin the good situation. As a result, he even forced the uterus. He really wanted to kill these bastards. I really want to kill one-third of the senators, only a hundred or so...
Papinian, Ulpian, Capitolinus and other reliable senators were now watching Pompianus stand on the throne and confront the group of people.
Until now, they don’t think that Pompianus is capable of murdering people. They just think that Pompianus’ spirit is so strong that he can still survive against nearly a hundred elders by himself!
"That's it, 10% profit! I'll pay you back at the end of the year! Wait, I'll kill you all when His Majesty comes back!" Pompianus got angry and yelled.
However, even such words were of no use. The senators of the Senate even said that they would kill Pompianus when His Majesty came back.
