Chapter 20 Curio's Greetings (1)
"Transferring the land to a lazy slave is like handing it over to the executioner." - Italian agronomist Valo

"His Excellency Wonteuth, Your Excellency Wonteuth!" In the post office room, Mesenas was calling out to Young Caesar's closest subordinate, Vonteuth, and then handed him a document, "Send the vanguard's order immediately to send the handwritten letter from this Young Caesar to the High Priest in the city."
Vonteuz hurriedly took it and went to the outer court to arrange the delivery staff. Octavian hesitated to stay in front of the manger, brushing his beloved horse with a brush, and kept saying to Mesenas who came back, "After becoming the second chief officer, we specifically requested the Executive Yuan to allocate special funds for war, and then we no longer have to be afraid of the problem of unsustaining food and salary. In just half a year or a year, I can challenge Brutu."
Mesenas also said a lot of inspiring words and described the picture that as long as you go to Rome in a few days, the Julius family and the Emilius family will join hands, and the two consuls will naturally occupy the two consuls, and everyone else will have to stand aside.
When Young Caesar came to Ostia three days later, the special "Great Triumph" was unfolding in the city: according to the permission of the original Senate, Libidainnumidia, Spain's meritorious achievements, and great victory over Mauritania and the Gatulians, won the twenty-four days of "Great God Sacrifice" and the Great Triumph.
But after Li Bida came back, he went to the Senate in person and refused the grand triumphal ceremony. However, the "Thank God Sacrifice" was carried out as usual. In addition, the high priest claimed to take out two thousand Talents of money alone for free banquets for the residents of Rome in the past 24 days, as well as a competitive competition with 5,000 sword-fighting slaves, and a renovation sacrifice to the temple complex in the Grand Plaza.
Just after the residents filled the squares and streets and alleys and drank free drinks and bread happily, Li Bida and his son Leo, under the protection of the guard, came to the intersection of the Bull Market and headed to the Grand Plaza. "Go to Leo, what you want to express is something that is beneficial to the whole city, don't be afraid of anything. Go and speak boldly!" Leo nodded, and then he crossed the marbled square road, boarded the bow podium, and announced to everyone:
In the past, when Julius Caesar was in power, due to financial difficulties, the number of people who enjoyed free food in Rome was reduced from 300,000 to 100,000. Now peace is coming soon, so as the civil guardian, I propose to increase the number of people to 300,000 again!
As soon as Leo said the words, he was drowned by the cheers like a tide. All the residents raised their wine glasses and shouted the slogans of Long Live the King of Numa and Long Live the Emilius family. Then Leo shouted without hesitation, "Please contribute to your father's election, and please contribute to the election of Young Caesar!"
So, at this moment, no one doubts who will be the elected consul next year?
Octavian happened to enter the gate of Rome in such a thrill of spring breeze. Libida specially arranged a guard of honor and the relevant people (of course he had to pay a considerable commission) to welcome him. In the flying petals, Young Caesar came to his former residence on Niushou Street with some kind of glory of returning home, and took the lead in visiting his mother and stepfather. He was preparing to go to Pulaima the next day to pay homage to his guardian and brothers. Although he had had some minor conflicts with his guardian when he was acting as an agent, it became the past and the current situation was that "the guardian cannot do without the benchmark of my flag, and I also need the guardian's assistance in military power and money."
"As for Corinna, as long as I marry her, I will not treat her badly - not to mention that Corinna's dowry is extremely generous, and her appearance and personality are also very good."
In the mansion, Octavian came to the main hall and hugged and kissed his mother Atya, who came to greet her. Then his stepfather Phillips, and his son Phillips, came back from the house there with a big talk, "Oh, Tulinus, you're back."
Octavian smiled and walked forward, first hugged Phillips, then went forward and kissed his stepfather's ring, "How? As a veteran, just returned from the meeting, I looked very energetic."
The stepfather laughed, then lifted the robe a few times, and with a mysterious tone, patted the back of the young Caesar, and walked towards the middle hall, saying, "How could it be that there is no spirit? Now the Senate only needs to stamp someone's proposals and ideas continuously. The entire nine hundred people are maids of a certain family. I don't need to talk or waste my energy to think about anything. Someone replaced the brains of nine hundred people."
"There is nothing wrong with this. After all, it is much faster to do things." At this time, Young Caesar was unwilling to continue saying that the guardian was not.
"I didn't expect that Tulinus, have you become a supporter of the monarchy?" Stepfather continued to joke, "I joked and joked, and I also like to say these jokes the most. Tulinus, don't tell your guardian, otherwise my official rank will be out of stock."
"The relationship between the stepfather and the guardian is quite good. How could he not know that all you are talking about is a joke? Why do I need to stir up my lips and tongue in the middle!"
This sentence made Phillips very useful. He immediately walked into the middle hall and told Atya that he would discount all the assets in the family and support my stepson's campaign.
As a result, at the dinner party, the slave of the door suddenly came in panic and told the owners, "There is a strange-shaped uninvited guest outside."
"The so-called strange shape refers to me." Before Young Caesar could answer anything, the mysterious guest actually broke in directly, then lifted the cloak covered by his head, revealing a strange and ugly face.
"It's Curio, it's you!" Young Caesar couldn't help but shout out.
The murals in the hall, because of their age, showed gray colors under the lights. Curio sat on the couch without saying a word, looking at Young Caesar, "I told you to go out." Curio said coldly, "I just want you to stay here alone."
The two people Curio mentioned were Mesenas and Wonteuth. Young Caesar patted his knees and waved his head, meaning they were told to do what Curio said and temporarily retreated outside to wait, "Okay, what are you going to do? Did you come according to the idea of Anthony, your father?"
"No, I didn't follow anyone's ideas, Anthony? He has lost all his ambitions and has been traveling around in Shannan Gaul with Fulivia all day long - well, let's talk more directly, I'm here to save you, little Caesar." Curio sneered a few times and said.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any danger in front of me. You need to come from afar and risk being discovered by Spy Li Bida to remind me of a false and non-existent thing." Young Caesar disagreed, and then he made a gesture to send the guests away. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
