Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 43 Santuria Conference

This is the reason why he sincerely took refuge in Li Wei. This is unlimited judicial power. Even the dictator has no such power. The dictator only has unlimited administrative power and unlimited military power, but it is also subject to the restrictions of the citizens’ assembly. The citizens’ assembly is controlled by Li Wei.

The current Li Wei is the uncrowned king of Capua, and even the Archon can’t help him.

Even he was annoyed, and he killed whoever wanted to kill, and it was legal to kill, which is why the Capuja elders bowed their heads to Li Wei.

Of course, all of this is based on strong wealth. The wealth of Rome’s richest man Crassou during his heyday was only 170 million sestes, which is more than 40 million dinars.

On the contrary, as long as Li Wei’s sugar can be sold out, he can earn about 10 million dinars a year, which is many times stronger than Krasu’s strength.

This is a miracle that others cannot replicate. It is a huge profit obtained by relying on monopoly.

“I can rest assured.”

Yulia said.

“The reason why the Patriarch does not fight back is because we have not recruited enough people, but we didn’t expect the enemy to be so fierce.”

Sailabio said.

“Do you think I should sue them at the citizens’ assembly or at the centurion meeting?”

Li Wei asked.

“In the past 100 years, more and more judgments on the death penalty were decided by the citizens’ assembly. On the contrary, there were fewer and fewer centuries’ assemblies. However, this time it involves an official crime. Will insist on the Centurion Conference to make a verdict.”

Sailabio said.

Li Wei couldn’t help but frowned, he actually liked the citizens’ assembly more.

Citizens’ meetings are relatively more important to the number of people, while centuries meetings are more focused on the rich and powerful.

There are a total of 193 centuries in the Centurion Conference (some say it is 373, this is controversial). The centuries are an organization divided according to the amount of wealth. This division standard is constantly changing.

After the Third Punic War, Rome divided the people into 6 levels according to property, namely 1 million, 300,000, 100,000, 50,000, and 6,400 **** (one dinar = 16 ass).

There are 18 centuries of cavalry and 80 centuries of the first rank.

2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades each have 20 centuries.

30 centuries in the fifth level.

There are five hundred teams of blacksmiths, carpenters, trumpeters, buglers, and light soldiers, among which blacksmiths and carpenters are classified into the first rank.

There is also a hundred-man team composed of a proletarian level. This level is the most tragic. Generally, there is no need to go to the battlefield and the least right.

Since the Centurion Conference is voted in units of centuries, there are 120 centuries in the second level, which is 300,000 **** or more.

These are the richest people with the least number, but they occupy more than half of the centuries. As long as they are consistent, they can decide everything in the Santuria Conference. Therefore, the Santuria Conference is completely rich. General Assembly.

Although there are many people under Li Wei, it is unceremonious to say that there are mostly poor people, and there are basically no knights and rich people.

Once the knights and the rich in the Centurion Conference find that Guta and Saiyanus are not guilty, nothing will happen to the others. Then go back to each house and find each mother. There are no more people under your Li Wei. use.

It was even more exaggerated at the beginning of the Santuria General Assembly. At first, only cavalry and the first rank were invited to discuss.

If everyone agrees to a result, then the matter is settled.

There is nothing to do with you below the second level, no matter how many people you have, it’s useless.

Only when the knight and the first level had a dispute, the second level was called to discuss.

If there is a result, things are set, and there is nothing to do with you below the third level. Why should you go?

So this conference is a conference of the rich, but the ancient Romans thought it was very reasonable.

“Now we are still facing a problem. If a citizens’ assembly is held, Guta and Saiyanus will definitely choose to go into exile.”

Sailabio said.

Li Wei feels a headache, what can I do?

Now that they have such a big hatred, can they just sit back and watch them go into exile?

He is not reconciled.

“If a centennial meeting is held, will they still go into exile?”

Li Wei asked.

“Maybe this one will stay.”

Serabio said with a wry smile.

In order to allow them to stay for trial, Li Wei was willing to give up the absolute advantage of the citizen assembly, which shows how hostile they are.

“Then sue them at the Senturia Conference.”

Li Wei said coldly.

“No problem, it’s just that we don’t have an advantage in the Centurion Conference.”

Sailabio said.

“When I look back, I will talk to those rich people one by one, and they will agree.”

Li Wei said.

“So much the better.”

Saiyanus said with a smile, Li Wei personally came to the door, he did not believe that the knights and veterans dared to refute Li Wei’s face.

You must know that the citizens’ assembly is basically in the hands of Li Wei. What kind of crimes they really committed, Li Wei will let them die if they die.

Unlimited judicial power is really terrible.

“How many guards have we recruited so far?”

Li Wei asked.

“A little more than 5000.”

Getta said, he felt that his job was not done well, and Li Wei needed the support of the guards so urgently, but he couldn’t recruit enough people.

“We must speed up the recruitment process, this is our most important task next.”

Li Wei said.

“I know.”

Getta said.

“Patriarch, today I found out that Scipio and Nias didn’t seem to be doing their best to help us. I felt like they were perfunctory to us.”

At this time, a middle-aged man said.

His name is Lucius Belieus. He is an excellent cavalryman. He once served as a cavalry centurion in the Confederate War. He has a stable personality, so he was appointed as his cavalry chief by Li Wei.

“is that true?”

Li Wei asked.

“I’m not sure, I’m just guessing.”

Belieus said.

“It may be that you are too worried.”

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

“Perhaps.”

Belieus said with a smile, he really didn’t understand the ideas of those big people.

While Li Wei was discussing with Serabio, Guta and Saiyanus were also racing against time to do remedial work.

“I’m done, you can sign it.”

Saiyanus wrote a letter and signed his name, and asked Guta to sign it.

This is a letter to the Senate accusing Li Wei of colluding with the Su position. This kind of thing can only get away if they try to pour dirty water on Li Wei.

Guta simply looked at it and signed his name.

In addition to this letter, they also wrote some letters, not only to the consul Qin Na and Capo, but not to their friends in Rome.

They want to mobilize all their own forces to pour Li Wei to the ground, so that he will never turn over.
