"Unless it is a melee battle, the Germanic cavalry can't stop the attack of Byzantine cavalry shooters." - Procobi

Subsequently, there are additional additions attached to Akuta: Caesar explicitly ordered that the luxury of the atmosphere also included purchasing goods over three hundred Seths at the market at one time, imposing heavy taxes on jewelry, expensive food, spices, ointments, etc. at the Roman market from now on, and limiting the scale.

Once these two laws were issued, and the people hired by Shanghai Ercius were promoted, the effect was explosive. Everyone knows that this laws were not targeted at all. It would be good for ordinary people in the city to take out fifty Seths at one time; in addition, the losses of the knights were not very large, because most of their money was invested in the tax-keeping business of the province. In other words, those who could borrow were squeezed out by Caesar or Pompei and were hungry for feeding - so the target was undoubtedly the nobles and rich men who could not survive without these luxury goods and luxury dinners.

What should I do if I cannot hold 60,000 Sesie withdrawals? I used to quickly buy luxury goods such as sculptures, paintings, spices, and furniture, and I could quickly turn money into physical objects and stockpile them at home. After the limelight has passed, the loss will not be great. But the auxiliary laws clearly state that if you want to buy these things, you probably don’t have any doors. Li Bida sets up many checkpoints in advance on the passage and the route. It is estimated that before the merchants and vendors transport their goods to the flower market in the city, they have been scattered by layers of taxes. Therefore, those nobles want to buy these luxury goods. They must not be able to buy them.

On that day, a terrifying phenomenon occurred in the Roman market: slaves with gold collars, holding pottery jars in a row, lined up under the market and pergola, luxury goods were instantly swept away, and the goods that Pop's wife had accumulated over three years were sold out at a price of ten to twenty times - she originally wanted to raise the price of fifty times, but there was no way, because the decree would be officially implemented tomorrow, and one thing that could be made is one. Don't be greedy, earning seven thousand drachmas in one day would be enough.

The rush to buy luxury goods market has further aggravated the panic in Rome. You should know that it is the period when Dirk Thiddou declares military martial law. The colonnades in the city are full of big-headed soldiers carrying real guys. Now the nobles already know that what they are about to face is to cut off their flesh and blackmail, but they are not willing to wait for death. They soon gathered in front of Julia's Hall with armed slaves.

According to the previous experience of these veteran nobles, Li Bida must be more reasonable than Anthony, who only uses violence and lingers in brothels and racecourses.

As a result, the dictator's assistant and temporary construction officer's face looked ugly this time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was cold and as cold as ice. In the end, he directly called the Medez Guard, which made the Romans most afraid. The team of black warriors was guarding around the synagogue, and he did not receive anyone. He just emphasized that the decree would not change or postpone at all, and would only be implemented without fail.

Armed for a short period of time is always much more effective than verbal debate.

When many veterans who were forced to disperse were at home, and for the first time, they looked at the magnificent jewelry, decorations and gold and silver all over the room, the dictator broke out with another amazing news: Libidaus might follow Caesar's wishes and execute the "public enemy declaration."

The public enemy declared that this was probably a sword hanging over the head of the city of Rome. Since the beginning of the civil war, that is, since Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, no matter who was standing, he was facing such danger: the success, the king and the defeat, the name was ruthlessly erased on the Senate list and the roster of citizens, and his life and property were no longer guaranteed. The prosecution would capture your family and slaves and torture them slowly until they could not stand it. The next step was a hasty and rough execution and confiscation. Sometimes it seemed that this procedure was not used at all. Slaves who were greedy for money, lustful, or dissatisfied with what you did one day would take advantage of this opportunity to launch a violent liquidation of you. "Stealing" this thing is a huge and terrifying curse.

But this may be just a "wind" or just... many people use this to comfort themselves, but if we do not use the method of "public enemy declaration", how can we explain the means of Li Bida's implementation of the new law? First, we use the law to stipulate consumption limits, and then use the public enemy declaration to justify the deed to deprive our excess property.

The Julia Hall was always silent and silent, but the rumors outside became more and more violent. In the past few days, it was like a great enemy on the Paladin Mountains. The behavior of the nobles in the villa surprised the slaves who served them for decades. The hostess no longer beat and scolded the female slaves when combing their hair. The male master sometimes took out a few pieces of outdated silk or jewelry and rewarded them to the people around him. Most of the time, the slaves found that they were unwilling to go out at all, but hid in the dark inner room, sometimes lamenting and crying in a low voice, and sometimes whispering fiercely.

Soon, someone saw with his own eyes that a team of financial slaves, with calculations and accounts, entered the Julia Hall.

This simply confirmed the previous rumors without a doubt that General Libidaus had already sharpened his knife!

There was a wailing sound, followed by a wait in darkness and anxiety. The water clock in the home was constantly losing. When the elders saw the slaves in the courtyard whispering to each other, or looked at themselves and their families with strange eyes, they would involuntarily fight more than a dozen cold wars in their hearts.

Suddenly, on the fifth day, Li Bida suddenly used the dictator's power to summon all the veterans to discuss matters in the hall.

"I am the Supreme Lord Dirkutdo, who represents the Supreme, and discuss something with everyone with unlimited power." Li Bida, wearing a red-edged robe, stood in the position of the host of the hall, surrounded by guard warriors holding swords and bows, and spoke to the restless elders who looked like earth. The hall was very quiet, and everyone stared at Cicero. Now, he seemed to be the only one who could speak in front of Caesar's army in Roman city, because his younger brother and son-in-law were all serving in the other party's legion.

But Cicero just stood still.

"As we all know, the consumption of war is the greatest. The war that the ancient Peloponnese lasted for many years dragged down Athens, the once richest city-state, completely collapsed. You should know that when Athens was most prosperous, it cost 4,000 Tarantes to build the Statue of Athena on Delos. Now the same is true in the Republic. I am blunt. His Excellency Caesar's money was used up - his soldiers would either continue to be rewarded in future wars, or would destroy the entire country because of knowing this fact." Li Bida continued, and finally he summed up, "So we are short of money, extremely short of money, only worms and rats are left in the treasury. This is also the reason why I convened the senators today. The situation is imminent. So can we talk about the 'public enemy's declaration'?"
