"When you reach the point where I'm waiting for you, don't think about taking advantage of others." Perennis shook his head and said, "The realm of the gods is actually not much different from that of us, but strong is strong, and those who are invincible at the same level have their own
The reason."
Letas silently looked at the trace across the sky, withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at Ludovic, who was holding a Roman dagger at the side. He was also obviously doubtful about life.
"Although everyone is called a demigod hero, the difference is still so huge that it makes people despair, just like Hercules and others in Greek mythology." Ludovic said with a bitter look at the corners of his mouth as he looked at the Roman demigods.
.
"Hey, isn't this called a world-breaking strongman?" Ma Chao asked a few people stupidly.
Except for Su and Perennis, all the other guardians of the Roman Empire have this expression. Can you speak?
"Yes, the gods are strong men who break the world, not demigod heroes." Perennis laughed and scolded, "Okay, let's break up and cultivate new strong men. Next, we will include the key young people.
The scope of training, and if a strong person at the level of city guardian is good enough, he can also enter the selection process of legion commander."
Roma had always practiced Qi to become the commander of the army. On the one hand, it was to avoid distraction, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent the commander of the army from relying on force to attack recklessly. After all, relying on command, it is not easy to capsize. Even if he cannot defeat his opponent, as long as the gap is
It's not very big, and it won't be completely wiped out. If Qiang Tumangan is caught in a flaw, he may be taken away in one wave.
Therefore, Rome has always used Lianqi Chenggang as the commander of the army before, and there are even guys like Virgilio who would rather suppress their strength than break through. After all, the tenth knight was a target before, plus he is the third
Ten is also somewhat out of schedule. Without excellent commanding and decisive talents, Virgilio simply suppressed himself and refused to be promoted.
After all, the Tenth Knight is different from other legions. It is a purely aristocratic group. If the commander of the legion is changed and there is no love for Caesar, it will be over. Therefore, Virgilio refuses to be promoted just to maintain the Tenth Knight.
exist.
But now that Caesar is resurrected, Virgilio does not need to maintain the purity of the Tenth Knight like his predecessors. It can be said that it is easy to be promoted.
In fact, with the recovery of the essence of heaven and earth, the difficulty of inner Qi leaving the body has been significantly reduced. Strong men like the Roman legions who have experienced the battlefield can basically gradually reach the separation of inner Qi from the body with the essence of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the previous requirements are no longer appropriate.
After Perennis sent the group of people away, he looked at Su with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Su, what exactly is Heart Tribulation?" Perennis is very powerful, and for some unknown reason, he does not have the special abilities that were born when other warriors in Rome chopped off their spiritual will and injected their eagle flags into them when they were promoted to Breakthrough.
It can be said that this guy has nothing but strength.
"I don't know." Su shook his head and said, "I'm afraid only the god in the world knows the answer. But after I crushed my eyes, the originally far and endless road was cut into two parts between my senses.
There was an infinite chasm in the middle, but I just crossed it."
Perennis has no heart calamity. His own fighting power is at the level of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Compared to Su, Perennis was not afraid at all when Su's special ability was not considered in the past. However, now Su has closed his eyes and lost his future.
The senses are incredibly strong.
"Are you asking the gods?" Perennis looked at the sky with another scratch and shook his head. The other party would never answer this question.
"When I open my eyes, I won't be able to see anything like that." Su said calmly, "The calamity of the mind is probably beyond the limit of my ability. It is another kind of miracle that comes with me."
Perennis had an expressionless face, "Okay, you can express whatever you want. Anyway, I can't feel the existence of this thing, so I'll just keep practicing and persevere."
He couldn't find the heart calamity, and Perennis had no intention of persistence. The core of his ability was not in force, but in military strategy. However, he could not run around and could only play chess with Caesar.
After Su left, Perennis stood on the top of the city and looked at the sky and sighed, wondering where the future of Rome lies.
"Treasurer." Perennis looked at the peaceful city of Rome and then jumped to the Roman Senate. Pompianus looked at the financial statements in front of him with a melancholy expression.
With such a solemn look on his face, Perennis couldn't help but raise his hand and say hello.
The calendar used by Rome during this period is called the Julian calendar. It was proposed by Sosichini, an astronomer in the Caesar era. It is not very different from the calendars of later generations. The dates of each month were changed by Augustus.
After the distribution, it is basically not much different from the calendar used now.
The Roman New Year is equivalent to March 1st of the Gregorian calendar, while the Han Dynasty uses the lunisolar calendar, which is more than a month later than the Gregorian New Year. As for the new calendar that the Gan and Shi families planned to use to defraud, Chen Xi brought it back, although according to that
The calculation method used by the group of people will definitely be able to calculate the solar calendar in the end, and it will be accurate at all, but Chen Xi thought about it and felt that it would be better not to adjust it at the moment.
Therefore, when the Han Dynasty was approaching the New Year, the New Year was just one month away in Rome, so Pompianus also started to do the year-end settlement, and this settlement was very discouraging.
Needless to say, Pompianus' ability is indeed excellent and makes people feel admirable. Even if he was placed in the Han Dynasty, he was still a figure of Xun Yu's level, and his conduct was basically the same as Xun Yu's. Well, really speaking
In terms of ethics, this person's ethics should be on par with Cai Yong.
When Commodus was alive, Pompianus did a lot of persuasion and served the country a lot. It can only be said that he was lucky to be alive. When Commodus was killed by Lytas and the others, all the Senate
The senators all expressed that they wanted to erase the history of Commodus. Pompianus went to collect Commodus' body alone, which offended many senators. The only reason he is alive is that the country could not live without this man at that time.
Official history clearly records that Ole, the last of the Five Wise Emperors, left more than 2.5 billion sesterces (small silver coins) to the national treasury. This scale is actually almost equivalent to the assets left to Emperor Wu during the reign of Wenjing, and may even be
More.
This is also an important reason why Pompianus is confident that even if Commodus is the author, the foundation of the Roman Empire can still be sustained, because the money is too much, but Commodus has been in power for twelve years.
It was all spent, and when Pertinax came to power, the treasury was able to make money.
At this time, no one can kill Pompianus. The quaestor is the boss. This guy's ability is really so strong that others can hold their noses and endure it.
In this life, the situation was not that bad, and the trade routes with the Han Dynasty were opened, and there were subsidies for jade mines, employment subsidies for barbarians, subsidies for state-owned industries, etc. It can be said that Rome was much more prosperous than in the previous life, but Peng
Pianus still felt a sense of despair when looking at the report.
As a financial officer who can make money, and I have numerous sources of income, I only have less than 100 million small silver coins this year. Rome is about to be finished!
"Treasurer, what's the matter?" Perennis asked, looking at Pompianus.
"There is only a surplus of 97 million this year. Although there will be a batch of income at the end of the year, I am afraid it will not exceed 130 million." Pompianus said with a sigh.
"..." Perennis was shocked. I thought there would be a deficit this year, and a surplus of more than 100 million. This is already an exaggeration. Moreover, with construction and troops mobilizing everywhere this year, there is actually more than 100 million.
The surplus is simply incredible.
"I estimate that the Han Dynasty has a surplus of about 8 billion." Pompianus glanced at Perennis and said with some pain, sesterces, which are small silver coins exchanged for five bahts, about the same as a small silver coin.
The silver coin is equal to seven to eight five-baht coins. Think about it, such a big country only has this little surplus in a year, but the surplus next door is so much. Can Pompianus not panic?
"What?" Perennis was shocked. How could it be possible? There was obviously not much difference in body size among everyone, so why was the Han Dynasty's surplus so outrageous?
"There is no way, the other party's population is actually ten times larger than ours." Pompianus said helplessly, "But even this is a bit too exaggerated, so that I even want to go to Chang'an and meet the man named Chen Zichuan
We had a good exchange with the financial officer."
"There is nothing we can do about population." Perennis said helplessly. Even they had nothing to do about this matter. If the biggest problem of the Roman Empire could be solved easily, it would be solved by Pompianus.
This kind of person is solved.
"I am actually imitating the other party's economic operation, but I can't achieve dynamic balance. How can I still be confident that my system will not collapse when I have no money?" Pompianus looked at the final calculation of his report.
He decisively took another piece of paper to copy the surplus, and then calculated it as a deficit. This is a necessary skill when dealing with Severus.
"Are you just fooling His Majesty like this?" Perennis twisted his eyebrows and looked at Pompianus in disbelief.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to calculate it anyway if I hand over these information. I have been a financial officer for so many years, not for the emperor." Pompianus said perfunctorily, "These are all relevant materials.
Except for me who can figure it out, everyone else might as well look at this.”
Perennis fell into silence. He had no good way to deal with such a lawless financial officer. He could only let the other party play. But if you think about it, it is right. At their level, it is not so much a legal restriction.
It’s the ideal in your heart that constrains you.
"I have to think of a way. This Roman Empire is full of the atmosphere of ending." Pompianus said worriedly, for most members of the Roman Senate, for the vast majority of citizens in this country, and for the entire Mediterranean
As far as all the barbarian slaves are concerned, the Roman Empire is now prosperous and has no intention of going wrong at all.
But for Pompianus, Rome is really on the road to doom. As for braking, given the current situation in Rome, it is impossible to brake.
"What can you do?" Perennis smiled. In fact, he was not worried about the end of Rome at all. Although he knew about Rome's current problems based on his position, Perenis always felt that this hidden danger was based on the current situation of the Roman Empire.
There is no way the situation could break out.
"I'm thinking about it and hope it can be solved in the future," Pompianus said with a sigh.
"You continue to think about it." Perennis smiled and comforted him. He was not worried at all about the shadow of the fall of the Roman Empire. Future matters would be solved by future generations.
After Perennis left, Pompianus pulled out a hard-cover book weighing several kilograms from the side. After flipping through it, he sighed.
"No matter how you look at it, this matter is a bit mysterious." Pompianus sighed. He had no solution to the problems of the Roman Empire now, but Pompianus thought that if his own intelligence had been more than ten years earlier,
After discovering this problem, it should be possible to solve it if we work hard during the ten years when Commodus was in power and returned to the countryside to rest.
However, the current situation is not suitable for Pompianus to study these things painstakingly. The country's most realistic and basic finances need him to be at the helm. As for the outstanding members of the Senate, it is not that Pompianus looks down on them, but
I am really far away from him.
Being able to run a huge empire like Rome with the financial resources of over one million sesterces during the most impoverished time, from a certain perspective, Pompianus was worthy of being a monster.
"I wonder if I, who can be summoned from some future possibility to solve this problem, and these people in the Senate, from a certain perspective, have indeed gathered the wisdom of the empire." Pompianus flipped through the subscription.
Hardcover book, this is a speculation from a member of the Senate.
Although there are many members of the Roman Senate who are not doing serious business, the wisdom of these people cannot be underestimated. Silvius previously proposed a theory, which era is the life we summon?
Life is the other party's peak, the other party has just grown up, or the other party's ultimate state. So will we ourselves also respond to the call in the future?
After this theory was put forward, many senators became interested, because the existence of Caesar made everyone present understand that the ancients could also be summoned. Although Caesar was not summoned by them, it is undeniable that there must be such a thing.
possibility.
Silvius's theory gave all the elders who were interested in the summoning of evil gods a desire to discover whether the same related sacrifice could summon lives from two different periods. The conclusion is that it can, Longinus Spear and Horse
The slots summoned two Holy Spirits in different states.
So for the future, it is uncertain whether people like them can also respond to the call, but it is definitely possible, and Pompianus's idea is to find someone who has solved this problem and bring him to this era.
