Saab's surprise was not without its origin. At that time, the governors sent to the provinces of Rome often used a large amount of bribes to go to rich provinces when they "draw lots" to decide where to go, so they would intensify their exploitation of provinces during their term of office. In the past, Katilin and Villes were all like this. The people in various provinces were, the provincial voluntary people who were given political treatment as "foreign subjects" were mostly indigenous people, and they had to pay a 10-tenth income; the second was that the colonies composed of Roman immigrants had the right to be tax-free, but they had the obligation to join the army.

.Because the Governor had the power to manipulate "tax leverage", in order to facilitate plundering, to make up for the debts brought by seeking official positions, and to obtain wealth for himself, the Governor often "out of various ways" in taxation, hiring a large number of tax-bearing people to fish out of the water. In the end, the tax amount of the voluntary people was far more than 10, but could reach as much as one-third or even one-half. This is also the reason why the rebellious uprisings broke out in remote provinces (Mitradath VI used this to incite Asia Minor to launch a war against the Romans).

At this time, the financial officer actually collected taxes according to the 10-1 rule, which surprised Sabokemus. Li Bida smiled and said, "There are also conditions. The tribes from Osir to Italy must pay an additional 15% of the 'blood tax' on the 10-1 basis. They can use money, cloaks, sheepskins, weapons and other physical objects, and can also use strong men to join the army. But this is also a very light burden compared to other governors."

"Come out? How to get out."

Hearing this question, Li Bida took a writing board from Habaruka. The young man looked at it and found that it was full of detailed rules for conversion. How much is a sword worth? How much is a piece of sheepskin worth? How much is a bucket of olive oil worth? How much is a pack horse worth? How much is a strong man worth? It is very convenient to convert blood tax. More cautiously, the above clearly stipulates that copper ingots and wild animals should not be paid to recharge, because only mints and zoos need this. They can only be selected among the types of materials specified by the rules.

As a result, the surrounding tribes who received the letter were very happy and paid all the taxes and the additional blood taxes in just a few days. The Chuniy tribe was in the mountains and sent 150 light-clad scattered soldiers and 60 cavalrymen; the Kafa tribe was relatively wealthy, so they sent a batch of olive oil and sheepskin; the Conis Dorgis sent a large number of iron nails and swords...

As for what Sabo Kemus was concerned about just now, whether I did this Caesar knew or not, at least not what I was concerned about now. As long as I could form an elite legion, I could fight from Osir to Newman Seal. The money robbed was enough to balance income.

After getting it done, Libida left the Phoenicians to raise supplies in the city. The rest of the main forces now have four hundred infantry, one hundred cavalry, two hundred projection scattered soldiers, a total of seven hundred men, plus almost the same number of military slaves, craftsmen, and a small number of soldiers, engineers and six crossbows on the way toward the city of Osir. Libida took Sabokemus' suggestion: fifty-stadia outside Orcia, there are mountain villages called Kimela, dense forests, highlands and good springs, and guarded the road to Vitoni, and could build a winter camp position there, thereby serving as a springboard base, and go to Vitoni to recruit soldiers or war.

During the trip, Li Bida ordered the tent teams (after a collective life on a market day, the 10-member Soldiers Committee had selected the ten-member commanders of each tent team. These people were either brave and strong, or old and rich) to follow the marching queues, protecting the baggage and pack horses in the middle, and not neglected. Those who violated the order were deducted 30% of their salary: while selecting the tent team, Li Bida cleverly passed the 10-member Committee and issued an order every four market days (i.e. January), reforming the practice of other Roman legions to distribute their salary once every six months or even a year. Li Bida believed that this would not only allow soldiers to serve their jobs, but also restrain their character. Once distributed once every six months, they would definitely spend money on the gambling tables and prostitutes, and their loyalty and obedience to the chief also wavered.

Therefore, the pace and neatness of the tents of each camp were very satisfied with Li Bida. When they passed by Osir three days later, they did not disturb the local residents, but arrived directly at Kimela and ordered all the officers and soldiers to raise shovels and pickaxes, regardless of their official positions, to build camps and walls. Li Bida set up the Gemini Camp: the soldiers lived in camps on the high slopes, and the soldiers and slaves and mules and horses were concentrated in the open camp below, with corridors and trenches surrounding them.

Shortly after the establishment of the camp, Caesar's command cavalry rushed into the camp. Li Bida asked someone to drag the soldier down, beat him ten times, and then took out the letter and took out the velvet paper. The order on it was: Recruiting soldiers in a winter period, and after the spring, you must sweep and advance towards Newman Seal in the face of a full army.

"We have a winter time to train, and your current military appearance cannot face any intensity of battles." Sabo suggested.

"No, the training will take two months. We will enter Vitoni in the middle of winter!" Li Bida hit the gilded baton on the table. He was somewhat angry, and he was neglected. Why can't I command a regular legion? Since Caesar, you give me this opportunity to act independently, I will do my best to let you see it.

In the following days, under the conditions of ensuring adequate food and salary, Li Bida's training reached a strict level: he constantly asked the infantry to go out to the camp to train every morning. After dinner at 2:00 pm, the infantry continued to dig long trenches around the camp and build half a wall. The trenches had very strict standards, the depth must be nine Roman foot, the width was thirteen Roman foot, and the section was an inverted triangle. After completion, it was filled immediately, and the next day continued to dig. The same was true for the wall. He would ask the infantry to temporarily use bricks and stones to build a road within the specified time to block the wall, and then dismantle it, and build it again from time to time.

As for the scattered soldiers and cavalry, Li Bida adopted a free-range attitude. He asked these people to gallop in the woods, deep ravines and steep slopes every day, practicing the skills of hovering and galloping, and using stone castings and hunting spears to chase rabbits and deer everywhere on the Iberian Peninsula. Even the financial officer himself was not afraid of others' ridicule for his young riding skills, and insisted on going out for hunting with these people. He knew that hunting was a peaceful war, and all the skills on the battlefield could be learned in this activity, as well as the close cooperation and coordination between the cavalry and the scattered soldiers.

In addition, he also asked the military slaves to drink boiling water and put salt in the meat, which can effectively prevent the onset and epidemic of plague, avoid unnecessary loss of personnel loss, and welcome the war soon.
