Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

10 days later.

The Basques, as well as the captured Gauls, were temporarily placed outside the Red River Valley.

According to the prior promise, Brian did not give the Gaul captives the status of slaves.

"Master Brian! The statistics are up. There are a total of 3,600 Basques and 3,400 Gauls. Their number is exactly 7,000!"

Rex respectfully reported from the side.

This group of people is the most difficult to manage right now.

The Basques had joined Brian, so it was impossible to give them slavery.

Most of the Gaul captives surrendered voluntarily, and they could not be given slave status either.

The management of this group of people is quite a headache.

Dozens of bloody incidents have erupted in just 10 days.

"Brian! You have to find something for them to do, you can't support 7,000 people!"

Gaius Marius reminded him from the side.

In Gaius Marie's view.

The consumption of 7,000 people, although the food standard is not as high as that of the Legion, is still a considerable expense. 22 "So my dear Rex, how much money do I have now?"

Now Brian has no idea how much money he has.

Gold for 800,000 coins was previously found from Mount Reus.

Defeat the Tambula tribe and get 200,000 gold coins.

Brian himself has a fortune of 100,000 gold coins.

Moreover, Brian also owned the largest gold mine in the entire ancient Roman Republic, the Castilla Gold Mine.

40,000 slaves worked tirelessly on the gold mines.

"Master Brian, your assets have exceeded 1.5 million gold coins!"

Rex glanced at Gaius Mario, and Xiaosheng said.

At the moment Gaius Mario is tasting the red wine that Brian snatched.

Hearing 1.5 million gold coins, he sprayed them out directly.

"How many?"

Brian was a little surprised that his wealth had suddenly increased so much.

You must know that a month ago, otherwise, the assets were only 100,000 gold coins, and every day for a little money, he searched for gold everywhere.

"Master Brian is really 1.5 million gold coins, this period does not include the gold that has not been minted into gold coins!"

Gaius Marius shook his head with a wry smile, but did not continue to ask further questions.

Based on what he knew of Brian, 80% of the gold was robbed by him from Gaul tribes.

In fact, only a very small part was robbed from the Gaul tribes.

"Little Brian, you have so much money, why not build a city and see!"

He does not mean that.

correct!

Brian suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Now he has someone and money.

The two most basic elements for building a city are already in place.

"Ding dong! Detected the idea of ​​the host and released the latest mission, to build a small and medium-sized city with a population of no less than 10,000 yuan! The mission reward is the design drawing of the Daqin crossbow!"

I wipe!

Daqin Bow and Crossbow Design Drawing!

The man stood up straight away, startling Gaius Mallor and Rex beside him.

"Master Brian?""

"Little Brian?"

It was only now that Brian realized it.

"Mr. Gaius Mario "Your idea is really good!"

Brian was directly greeted by a courteous, and poured a glass of red wine for him.

"Now I have so many people who don't dare to eat and drink. Why didn't I think of building a city and let them work and work by themselves?"

All around is a piece of fertile land, perfect for farming!

"Rex brings Baltas and the high-rise warriors who took the lead in surrendering that day!"

Baltas, who has eaten a lot of fish and meat these days, looks much better than before.

Stave, a strong Gallic warrior, was the first to surrender to Brian that day.

In recognition of his achievements, Brian appointed him as the leader of this group of Gauls.

Brian patted Baltas' belly.

"Has Baltas slept well these days?"

And the latter glanced at the Gaul warrior Stave, and said proudly.

"Under the protection of the great master, without the pursuit of the Gauls, I have been dreaming every day these days! Sleep every day until the sun rises!"

"Very good, but you won't have such good days in the future! I think you should continue to perform the task of recruiting Basques!"

Hearing this, Balsta directly knelt on the ground.

He contacted other Basques before, and at first it had good results.

But what!

The Gauls also have a deep hatred for the indigenous Basques in this land.

Without the protection of the Roman Legion in 870, Ballstad did not dare to contact other Basques.

"So, as you have seen in the past few days, all my subordinates have jobs. Do you want to mine like those slaves?!"

Speaking of mining, Balsta swallowed.

He had had the honor of visiting the Red River Valley two days earlier.

My God, there are actually 40,000 to 50,000 slaves here!

They do the hardest work and eat the simplest food.

Thinking of those rough and hard vegetables, Balsta couldn't swallow them.

"Master, I don't want to be a slave!"

Ballstad knelt at Brian's feet, clutching his boots tightly.

"If you don't want to be a slave, then just farm for me honestly. Don't worry, I will find some special teachers to guide you in farming."

Brian turned to look at Stav beside him.

"You have also seen that I promised you at the beginning that I would not treat you as slaves, but the Legion will not support people who live for nothing, so you can farm with the Basques!

Staff nodded, this was the best result he could get. .
