"I will enter the twenty-man committee to the new colony of the Unionia." The next day, at Caesar's mansion, a group of slaves were trying hard to copy the "Akuta" of the new land law, preparing to distribute them to the villages around Rome, so that everyone could understand the law clearly and increase Caesar's prestige. Li Bida, who stood in front of Caesar, made this request.

"Are you too impatient to go in now? Dear Li Bida, you have not served as a formal official position in the city of Rome. My suggestion is to ask you to give up this time. I can operate to make you a servant of Curia first, and then you can find a step down governor to sue him. After gaining reputation in the city, it is better to enter such a committee." Caesar took a sip of peppermint water and suggested.

Yunonia was actually the Carthage area that was finally completely destroyed in the Punic War. When the Gragu brothers implemented the land law, they promised to establish three colonies in Italy to gain more land to allocate them to the people. Later, after discovering that there were too many monks and too little porridge, they proposed to establish the first overseas colony, that is, to create this "Junonia" (this is the Romans' name for it). But later, the nobles in the Senate hindered the implementation of this plan on the grounds of Carthage as a reason Carthage was a place cursed by the gods, and the Gragu brothers died one after another, and immigrants in the Yunonia colony were put on hold for many years.

This time, it was rare for Caesar to turn this plan out again. The citizens of Rome, especially the wealthy, were encouraged to move to Yunonia, and pioneers could give priority to the local chamber of commerce and the Curia Conference to grasp the lifeline of the rural commerce there. Then Caesar was preparing to move the poorer people, and this work would take at least five to ten years.

Therefore, when Caesar was operating this matter, he was quite generous. In the past, the committees set up to establish colonies were all in the size of ten or twelve. Caesar suddenly expanded the scale of the Yunonian Colonial Committee to twenty. The purpose was to absorb more social elites and participate in the grand event.

But in the face of Caesar's persuasion, Li Bida became stubborn, "I don't understand, I have military merits, assets and abilities. Why do I have to transfer to the lawyer industry and sue a step down as governor who has nothing to do with me?"

"Idiot, you have now taken off your knight's cloak and put on the robe of a noble. When a knight dies, you are a broker or creditor, but only aristocrats can establish themselves in politics and show their strength. This is your fate, starting from the moment you decide to put on the robe." Caesar said this half-jokingly.

"Actually, someone is going to join this committee, so I have squeezed my quota!" Li Bida's words made Caesar a little alert. He lowered his head, then raised his eyes and asked, "This news was probably revealed to you by Kaimax? He is very familiar with my staff and confidential slaves, and can find some inside information."

"The person who squeezed me out is Curio, right? I heard that you were on the twenty-person committee list two days ago, and my name was still on the list, but when Curio came to visit you, you deleted me from the list."

"Yes, that's right." Caesar was as plain as ever. His simple answer always made people feel embarrassed that he was "no talk about it". He was unwilling to explain too much about any key matters. Because he understood that the more explanations, the more flaws he would reveal.

However, Li Bida also knew in his heart that Caesar did this based on his own interests. He had officially married the daughter of the Bisso family before, and he had begun to work on things after his one year's term ended. His general goal was to continue to form alliances with Pompeii and Crasso, gain a province that could make achievements, and control more legions and connections in the war; in addition, he needed to make more allies in the city of Rome and monitor him in the backyard. Now Caesar has begun to move around and is preparing to help his father-in-law Bisso as the throne of the consul next year.

That's right, Tuna Lukulas said that you can talk about interests with Caesar, but don't talk about sincerity too much. For this gambler and hero, his sincerity will always be mixed with interests. It doesn't matter if he can't tell it, but if you can't tell it, it's a tragedy.

So, Li Bida's words were completely straightforward: "If I can't get into the Twenty-member Committee of Yunonia, I will need additional compensation."

"As long as you continue to be loyal to me, I hope you will make up for it." Caesar didn't mind at all. He always liked to "speak clearly" even if his subordinates were.

"One, I hope to build Pompei's Meterine Giant Theater; two, I hope you can reach an agreement with Pompei to ced part of the territory of the Kingdom of Codini in the East and to the Kingdom of Ubertnia next to it. I heard that Pompei is now unstoppable forcing the Senate to pass his package on the settlement of the Kingdom of Orient."

After hearing this, Caesar giggled, yes, he liked all the young people who were similar to his personality, especially Li Bida. This guy is really more and more similar to himself, and he began to look for various preys like a fearless and ferocious crocodile. But he still joked: "When it comes to this, I remember that the one who was crowned with the Kingdom of Ubertnia seems to be a young girl. You are so lucky. When I was young, I went to Asia Minor to study and left many beautiful memories. You are better than me, and you have become the queen's guest of the curtain."

"Yes, Queen Eubertnia and I have had a love affair, but we are even more ally (strategic - sexual ally), and... her father Mitradati. Eubert was also Pompei's enemy during his lifetime. If you increase her territory, it can be regarded as a sharp tung for Pompei in the East's circle of forces." Li Bida spoke out his relationship with Adianna without any grudges.

Caesar pretended to be frowning and said, "What you said is so slutty, Libidaus. You are still a noble person now, but don't misunderstand me. My accusations are not directed at your relationship with the queen, but at your point of provoking the friendship between me and the great Pompey."

"There is a famous saying in Italy that brothers will eventually become enemies. Sooner or later, Pompei will still be enemies with you. At that time, I hope that Queen Eubertnia and I can stand on your side and serve you."
