Chapter 18 Tentative
“Are you going to sell weapons? Why did you hire so many blacksmiths?”
A gleam of light flashed in Tulius’ eyes.
Kapuya’s weapon business is mainly done by their family, is he planning to intervene in his own field?
“There is no such plan for the time being, they are just building weapons for gladiators and guards.”
Yulia said.
Tulius’ face was a little shameless, he didn’t say anything, and followed Yulia to the distance.
Soon they came to a newly built courtyard outside the manor. The courtyard was a little messy, there was no pool or garden. Decorated with busts of gladiators, they should be successful gladiators in their family history. Many gladiator school owners like to do this.
Those nobles are completely different. They like to keep the statues of their ancestors at home, such as the most famous family of Scipio, the statues of Scipio and the statues of consuls in history. Enough to make anyone feel the heritage of the top nobility.
passed through a pillar full of guards and came to a hall.
A precious nanmu round table is placed in the hall, surrounded by three bronze couches.
Romans like to lie on a long collapse to eat or chat. A young man wearing a linen blouse and short black hair stood by and watched him quietly.
“Hello, Mr. Tulius, I am very happy to meet you.”
Li Wei said.
Tulius is now in his thirties, and he still looks very young due to good maintenance.
He wears a white Toga, behaves decently, and looks very educated.
“Hello, dear Li Wei.”
Tulius said, “I have been famous for you for a long time. This time you purchased a large number of weapons in my shop. I am here to express my gratitude.”
Li Wei was a little surprised. He glanced at Yulia, and Yulia nodded. Unexpectedly, the weapons they bought were purchased from the Tulius family. This is really fate.
“Since the quantity you ordered is too large, we may need some time to stock up.”
Turius said with a smile.
“Well then, as long as it is delivered as soon as possible, how long will it take you.”
Li Wei motioned for him to sit down, and Tulius immediately found a couch and sat down.
“It is estimated that it will take five days.”
“Yes.”
Li Wei thought for a while and said.
“You are such a generous person. May the gods bless you.”
Turius said with a smile.
After he said he motioned to the slave behind him to open the box he was holding, and a short sword appeared in the box.
“I heard that you like to collect all kinds of weapons, so I bought a dagger specially. This is a dagger made by a famous craftsman in Rome. It is very good to use. I hope you like it.”
Li Wei was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Tulius to do so well in intelligence work. The former Li Wei really liked to collect all kinds of good swords, but few people knew about it.
I didn’t expect to be heard by him. Is this the strength of the veteran nobleman?
He picked up the dagger and drew out the scabbard. The whole dagger was like a puddle of autumn water, with a deep light glowing.
“Good sword.”
Li Wei pretended to be surprised. In fact, this dagger was far from the standard steel sword in his mind, it just gave a face.
“This is the sword of a nobleman in the last Punic War. That nobleman used him to satiate the blood of the Carthaginians and made great military exploits for Rome.”
Tulius smiled and said, this is his carefully selected gift, which can not only reflect the heritage of the Tulius family, but not spend too much, it is really very suitable.
It turned out to be an antique, so it is of some value, Li Wei thought.
Li Wei asked the dagger to be accepted, and then the two lay down, and several slaves served some fruit desserts.
Tulius looked at the cakes and his eyes lit up, “Is this the cake you made with sugar?”
“Yes, these things taste good, welcome to taste.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
Tulius took a piece of cake and tasted it, “It’s really good, worthy of selling a pound of 30 dinars. I think it won’t be long before sugar will become a must for the noble banquet.”
In fact, Tulius is right. From the day sugar was born, it has existed as a noble necessity in the West. Its birth is a qualitative leap for Western food.
Many people in Rome now like food. Those knights and nobles who spend a lot of money for food will not only be despised, but will be praised by some people.
Some smart chefs are even comparable to nobles because of their high status.
The two began to chat. Tulius had a complete aristocratic education and was extremely talkative. He even went to study in Greece and was knowledgeable.
Not to mention Li Wei, his knowledge is explosive for the ancients, and it is not too much.
The two talked about each other, and they had a preliminary understanding of each other.
“By the way, have you heard that Sura negotiated with King Pontus?”
Little Tulius said, UU read www.uukanshu.com while staring in his eyes secretly.
Li Wei moved in his heart, pretending to say casually: “I heard that Fabria is too stupid, and he surrendered before the first battle. It is a shame to us Romans.”
During this period of time, the Eastern war situation changed again. After Sura negotiated with the King of Pontus, he immediately forced Fabria into force.
Febria didn’t dare to fight against Sula at all. Sula sent soldiers to lure the Roman soldiers under Febria, and all the Roman soldiers turned to Sula, which surprised how many Romans.
“Sura is indeed a great man, 300,000 people in Athens and the capital were defeated by him, so many Romans did not fight.”
Little Tulius said with a look of admiration.
Li Wei deeply agrees with this, and he does not know whether the Greeks and Pontus are too useless, or the Romans are too strong.
Sura actually defeated so many enemies with more than 30,000 people, and the Romans defeated tens of thousands of enemies in every battle, and their losses were only a few dozen.
In addition to Sula, Rome is a real celebrity in these years.
Such as Mario, Sula, Luccus, Pompeo and Caesar, they all have a brilliant record, conquering cities and looting the land, spreading the glory of Rome.
But they also supported themselves, marched into Rome again and again, and buried Rome with their own hands.
Although he has a good impression of Sura, Li Wei knew that he would never show it.
“But he will never be our opponent, our Qin Na and Capo Archon, as well as famous generals such as Cedoliu.”
Li Wei pretended to disdain, and at the same time secretly gave himself a compliment. This acting skill is definitely an actor-level.
Little Tulius can’t understand a little bit, is he really just a teenager.
