Chapter 81 Take office, Verolian



Chapter 81 Take office, Verolian

In a blink of an eye, Pan De returned to the main hall of the palace, as if he had never been inside.

But in fact, he already knew this attitude.

that's enough.

Pan De bowed respectfully towards the main hall, this time, it was the younger generation's respect to the older generation.

He turned and left, and now, it was time to take office.

With the biggest backer in the entire city of Rome, what else is Pan De afraid of?

Coming outside the palace, Pan De waved to Mo, and then went down the mountain.

Pan De didn't say a word along the way, and Mo also wisely didn't ask.

Walking down the mountain like this, Pan De looked around and asked, "Where is the office of the consul? I think I can take office."

Mo took out a roll of documents and handed them to Pender, "This is your appointment letter, take it to the Imperial Palace, where your office will be."

Pan De opened the document and looked at it. He has a lot of power, except that the House of Elders can restrict him, and he has no additional military power. He can be said to be the most powerful person in the entire city of Rome.

Military power, this is something that must be had.

"By the way, how many defenders are there in the city? Who is the general?"

Pan De casually asked Mo as he walked towards the Imperial Palace.

"The city of Rome has a standing army of [-], and there are millions of troops going out to fight. The standing army is under the command of General Agrippa." While talking, Mo Weiwei leaned towards Pan De, and whispered: "He is a good friend of His Majesty, after hearing you It was a pleasure to come.”

Pan De understood Mo's thoughts in an instant, and he was expressing his opinion.Not only is he a good player at the front line, he is also quite shrewd. Since he is standing in a team, he can still be cultivated.

"I have time to pay a visit."

Mo went on to say: "The generals who are fighting abroad include Lord Sedorius, Lord Drusus, and Lord Varus. The three generals led the troops to wander around Rome and come back once a month for supplies."

"When we fought before, Lord Drusus was in charge of commanding. He is His Majesty's adopted grandson and your ancestor. He knew you were there in that battle, so he personally supervised it."

It turns out that the adopted grandson is Germanicus, a general with outstanding military exploits.

His father was Tiberius' younger brother, and he himself was Tiberius' adopted son and Octavian's adopted grandson.

It is indeed his ancestor.

However, unlike himself, he did not inherit the title of Augustus, nor did he have the right to inherit.

And judging from his actions to protect himself in person, he should also be on his side, and he can also be fought for.

It seems that the military has nothing to worry about.

"Here we are, this is the Imperial Palace."

Pan De raised his head and looked forward, a magnificent building came into view,

Pure white marble, equipped with unique Roman carvings, looks majestic and full of beauty.

Pan De stepped forward and handed his letter of appointment to the two guards in front of the door. After confirming his identity, Pan De walked in,

The main hall is divided into three areas, one is the main entrance hall, where many people work and deal with the daily civil disputes in the city,

On the left is the council hall for meetings, and on the right are the finance department and the fortification department, the planning expenditure of the complex city.

When Pan De came in, no one in the hall looked at him, they were just busy working.

There are people coming and going in and out of the lobby all the time, some people are doing business, some people are arguing on the sidelines, and there are even prisoners sitting on the sidelines, waiting to apply for a prison room?

Pan De wandered around and found the problem,
Although this Roman city has a daily patrol team similar to the city management, but because there is no special local police office,
The daily work of the civil department is very busy and huge, which is not good at all, it is complicated and error-prone.

"Do you want me to stop them, Your Highness?" Mo asked aloud.

"No, let them work, don't waste their time." Pan De waved his hand, and led Mo to the financial department next to him.

Unlike the busy lobby, the treasury department is as idle as, no, more idle than a nursing home.

There is even a person with a fair appearance and no calluses on his hands, but wearing shabby clothes, he can apply for a poor security fund here.

But those poor people who really have civilian status are turned away.

Pan De pointed to the windows of other departments with similar conditions, "These guys are all members of the elders' family, right? I also saw some people put gold coins in their pockets."

Mo nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, they are all family members of the elders, and only they can enter the financial department."

"Well, write them down, one counts as one, don't do all of them."

"Yes."

"Look for the deputy commander in the outer hall. You should know who those people are doing. Give me a real list."

"Understood." Mo nodded, the meaning of this couldn't be clearer, Pan De depends on their abilities.

Mo turned around and said a few words to the two deputy commanders, and the two were overjoyed, and hurried to work.

"Come on, let's go to my office."

Pan De led Mo through the finance and construction departments, and came to the back room of the meeting hall, which was the office of the consul.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a blond young man lying on the sofa in the consul's office, surrounded by two half-revealed beauties tasting wine for him, and the whole room was filled with a hormonal smell.

Seeing Pan De and the other two come in, the young man immediately sat up, squinted his eyes and looked at Pan De,

He asked loudly: "Don't you know what this place is! How dare you break in!"

When Pan De saw this, he was still very calm. Who told him that he was still a child of 1.5 meters [-], and he didn't feel oppressive, but well, the language and body shape were different.

"Of course I know where this is. I'm here to work, but you, what is it?"

Hearing this, the young man stood up and waved the two women away, then ignored Mo who was already glaring, and circled around Pender twice,

"Oh~ you are the new consul, right? I can't tell, it's quite interesting."

"You too."

When the young man heard this, he suddenly laughed,

He tidied up his clothes, then saluted Pendor very formally,

"Verolian Pompey, the most dissolute and useless son of the Pompey family, I salute you, Your Excellency the Consul."

Verolian bent down and bowed, deliberately bending his waist until it was level with Pendor's shoulders.

"I accept your greeting, Mr. Verolian, and explain your purpose."

Pender went to the desk, sat down on the chair, and looked at him with interest.

Verolian smiled slightly, shrugged and said, "It's easy to talk to smart people, isn't it? I want to work under your command."

"why?"

"Exhibit your ambitions."
