The Jews launched an uprising because a small group of people could not stand Rome and Christianity. You have to know that these people separated from their Judaism, but were surpassed by a new religion. Where is their face?

In order to let Judaism rule the world, they were ready, and even killing more people could not stop what they did for the nation.

But they caused not only the sorrow of the Jews in Rome, but also the Jews in other countries. As soon as the order from Constantinople came out, the Jews along the Aegean Sea suffered. Soldiers came out in full force to arrest Jews. And they were detained in a centralized manner.

The Jews once again enjoyed the fate of being expelled, but this time, they would not wander, but would spend their lives quietly in one place. Not only him, but also his sons, grandsons, and endless descendants, provided that he still had them.

The emperor's anger was indeed terrible, and the Senate had to be careful in handling affairs these days.

"How long will this last?"

"Don't ask, we have to do this until His Majesty calms down."

"Damn Jews, don't take us with you when you commit suicide."

Everyone hated the Jews more, and they didn't commit suicide like this. They were the only ones who rushed to die.

Baptiste strongly supported this resolution because it would increase a lot of income for the empire. He could also relax in the next internal affairs meeting.

"Your Majesty, where should all the Jews be put after they are caught?"

Listerine asked the emperor, and Peter was a little annoyed. Why did he have to ask himself about this matter?

"Anywhere is fine, as long as they can never come out."

Listerine knew, and then began to explain the new territory to the ministers.

"This time, your Majesty has added four provinces to the empire, namely Kiev, Dnipro, Kharkov and Sibania, and has appointed local officials. Now we need to carry out new planning and construction, and each university needs to select a group of people to go to the new territory."

At this time, Peter spoke: "Sibania is not the territory of the empire, but I manage it on behalf of it."

This made everyone confused. They didn't know who the empire was managing on behalf of. There are still people in the world who let the empire manage on behalf of them. This person is too proud.

"I know what you are thinking. The empire has only been in existence for 20 years, and its territory is almost the same as that of Emperor Justinian. This is a huge test for government management.

Sibania is too far from Constantinople, and it is not convenient to communicate in the middle. Therefore, I plan to let Prince Theodore become the ruler of Sibania."

After hearing the emperor's explanation, everyone woke up. The current territory area has exceeded their imagination. No matter how unwilling they are, they must be forced to rest for ten years, otherwise the entire empire will be finished when the emperor dies.

"Of course, recuperation does not mean that even the armaments have to be abolished. It is not safe enough without an army for such a large territory. I will also expand the army and expand the standing army of the whole country to the same level as during the reign of Emperor Justinian."

This sudden ambition made the ministers feel that they needed to be busy again, especially Baptiste. If he remembered correctly, the number of standing troops during the reign of Justinian was 310,000, which means that Rome had to expand its army by more than 100,000.

Who can disobey the emperor's order, not to mention the emperor whose military strength is comparable to Hadrian.

"Romania is not to bring more wars to Europe, but to eliminate wars, bring peace and prosperity, which applies not only to the Romans under the rule of the empire, but also to others."

Peter told others about the future of the empire. As long as Rome's strength continues to grow, all wars in Europe will be quelled. Peace will also come to this land for a long time. And to do this, money must be mentioned again.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers. Times are changing, the environment is changing, the empire is changing, and the government should certainly change accordingly to adapt to new needs! I followed Emperor Mircea 20 years ago. At that time, it was still called Wallachia. It only had a few small towns and a population of less than 50 people, which was very inconspicuous; but now the empire is already the overlord of the Mediterranean, with a territory area dozens of times larger than that of the past, a population of more than 10 million, and many forces affiliated with us. It is no longer the small country of the past.

20 years ago, when Wallachia sent troops to fight, all the citizens who could fight added up to less than 10,000 people. Now, once the empire launches a war, it can easily dispatch tens of thousands of people. The combat time is calculated in months, and the military rations required are calculated in tons as the basic unit, not including other material consumption, which are all provided by the empire.

The larger the empire, the greater the consumption. Can those taxes alone meet the needs of the empire's growing development?"

Christian took the lead. He knew that the Minister of Finance would definitely obstruct the expenses, so he said it first to let the other party adapt.

Baptiste knew that the other party was talking to him, so he stood up. "I know what you're thinking, so I will do my best to serve the empire. No matter what it is, I want to say that you shouldn't push the people too hard. Keeping them alive for a long time is the basis for the continuous flow of tax revenue for the empire."

At this point, the other party couldn't say anything, but the resolution to expand the army was also ready to be implemented. Peter left the Senate and returned to the palace accompanied by the general manager. After renovation, the palace has more than doubled in size. A long corridor and a large garden have also been added. The queen is currently entertaining noble ladies, and every day is very lively.

"You know, your majesty, there is only the queen, not even a mistress."

"Doesn't this show that your majesty is loyal? If someone can become your majesty's mistress, although the reputation is a little worse, there will be a lot of wealth and manors."

In the queen's palace, several noble ladies are discussing who can become your majesty's mistress. Because they found that the life of the royal family was a bit too boring. In addition to the queen, two princes and a princess, there were only maids and eunuchs.

From the history in the book, it is known that the private life of the previous Roman emperors was very rich. Not only did they have female lovers, but also male lovers, and even men and women came together. The number of people ranged from a few to hundreds, and there were even a few parties.

Look at it now, apart from the banquets hosted by the Queen, the Emperor's private life is probably the most boring.

"To be honest, with His Majesty's attitude, whoever can impress him should learn from her."

"That's right"
