Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 73 Humiliated

"The most loyal? Of course it's me. My loyalty to the Patriarch is definitely the highest among all of them."

Geta immediately said unceremoniously, and at the same time held his chest high, looking extremely honorable.

"Pfft!"

Yulia couldn't help laughing out loud, and Li Wei didn't know what to say. This was the first time he discovered that Geta was so shameless.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

Geta asked.

"The competition for the administrator of Capua is about to begin, and I'm wondering who should be the administrator."

Levi said.

The competition for Capua administrators is after the consuls. Although they will be elected within a month or two, they will not officially take office until the next year.

Many official positions in Rome can only be held for one year, and in order to prevent someone from monopolizing power, they cannot even be re-elected. For example, the consul can only serve once every 10 years.

So Serabio had only a few short months as an administrator, and then he was going to serve as a senator in the Senate of Capua.

"You mean to pick someone from the guard?"

Geta said in surprise.

"That's right, do you want to be a Capua administrator?"

Levi asked.

Geta's mind was in a state of confusion for a while, but in fact he never thought about this problem.

Being an administrator, this was something he had never dared to think about before, but now an opportunity was in front of him.

He doesn't doubt whether Levi has the ability to do this. In fact, all Capua people firmly believe that Levi can do this.

But if he is really asked to be an administrator, he is a little scared...

"In the future, we will train our people to enter the officialdom, and we can't rely on others for everything."

Levi said.

Thinking about the price he paid this time, his heart ached terribly.

It would be easier if some of them were our own.

"I see."

Geta said with some dismay.

"You'd better go back and think about it, and give me the answer when you think about it."

Levi said.

Geta nodded, and left here.

"Master, do you really want him to be an administrator?"

Julia asked in surprise.

"Why not?"

Li Wei said with a smile.

Whether Geta is willing or not, Li Wei will push him out to become an official in the future.

It may not be necessary now, but it will be in the future.

"Paris, my dear friend, don't go. I can lower the price, please don't go."

Aulus tugged on the sleeve of a young man and said anxiously.

The young man smiled wryly, "Oulus, don't embarrass me. Don't you know that Li Wei has let go, whoever dares to buy your property is against him, who dares to offend him now."

Although Li Wei decided to spare Olus' life, he didn't intend to make him feel better.

He knew that Aulus was eager to sell his property and go to Spain, and he was full of doubts about who would send someone to assassinate him, so he decided to suppress this cheater a little.

"But please help me, I have to leave Capua in a few days, or I'll be in big trouble."

Olus said pleadingly.

Paris shook his head again and again, "I'm very humble, I can't help you, why don't you find someone else to have a look."

After speaking, he just asked the slave to help pull Aulus away.

Olus looked frustrated. Since Levi's words, the sale of his property has come to a complete standstill. Now no one wants to be Levi's enemy.

So he contacted the stewards of some Roman elders, hoping that they would buy his property at a low price, but he was also rejected.

As long as these veterans aspire to be consuls or their nephews embark on official careers, they will need Li Wei's help one day, so why offend Li Wei for such a trivial matter.

So Aulus was in a tragedy. Even if he sold his property at a low price, he still faced the situation that he could not sell it.

No, I have to sell my property quickly, otherwise once Li Wei finds out about it, he will die.

It seems that only those vampires can be found, Aulus thought to himself.

So Aulus left the house and went to Cassius' house not far from the street.

Cassius is a well-known taxpayer in Capua. Besides lending money, he owns a lot of property. He usually flatters him. I hope he can buy his own property for the sake of his past affection.

Arriving at the mansion of Cassius, Aulus was about to enter, but was stopped by the slave at the gate.

"Master Olus, what are you doing?"

"Of course I went in to find Cassius, what's wrong?"

Aulus said dissatisfied.

"If you want to see my master, of course you have to notify first."

The slave said with a smile on his face.

"Notification?"

Olus suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. When he came here before, when he needed to be notified, and many times it was Cassius who greeted him with a flattering face, but what happened in the past two days had already let him know What is the coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world.

"Okay, go report."

Olus suppressed his anger and said.

The slave snorted coldly, then walked over.

Aulus was so angry that his eyes were red. It was his greatest shame that a slave dared to look down on him.

But he can only bear it! Tolerate! Tolerate!

After a long time, Cassius came out with a few slaves.

"Cassius, my dear friend, it's been a long time."

Olus suppressed his displeasure and tried his best to put a smile on his face.

"Your dear friend? I can't afford it. I remember I bought some Levi's white sugar and sold it in Rome, but you scolded me later."

Cassius said with a look of contempt.

"This... this is all a misunderstanding."

Olus said with a look of embarrassment.
