"No system left by ancestors is intact." - Cicero

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Li Bida grew up and quarreled with thousands of soldiers, but the other party's voices were too loud to sink him with the spitting stars. Some of these soldiers were shouting for a big reason, some were asking the dictator to pay back the money, and some were showing their disabilities. The camp was suddenly very lively.

"Stop quarrels, stop quarrels! I have a solution." Finally, Li Bida admitted defeat on the horse's back, and waved his arms to ask the soldiers to calm down, but the other party was crowded with people and was still unmoved. It was not until Li Bida shouted hoarsely that his anger weakened slightly. At this moment, Li Bida leaned against the saddle, panted heavily with his waist for a long time, and then said to Alp, asking the Privy Councilor Ijulus to run over, and the dictator's seal was kept in his arms.

As soon as he heard about the dictator's seal, the entire 10th legion camp suddenly became quiet. Soon after Ijiurus arrived, the cavalry commander got off the horse and together with the Privy Councilor, he set up a temporary small table. Then Ijiurus sat on a chair and spread the papyrus.

"Don't have papyrus, you need a formal character board." I don't know who shouted this in the soldier group, and then thousands of people responded. It seems that their vigilance is very high.

The cavalry commander stood by the table, saying to Ijiurus on one hand, and announced in public the new order issued by his acting dictator, "Your salary a hundred years ago was only 250 Seths quit every year. It has never been adjusted - then now I will issue a document to adjust your annual salary to 500 Seths quit!" After that, Ijiurus quickly carved the quit board with a hook pen, stamped the dictator's seal, and then erected the quit board to see clearly for the soldiers in front.

A few literate people stood in front of the font board, squinted their eyes and looked at it seriously for a while. Only then did they confirm that the document was true, and then the soldiers began to shout, "Long live, in the era when the commodity economy was not very developed, there was no large inflation. In other words, coins were very valuable. Now the annual salary of soldiers has doubled, and they are of course happy, although the increase in money is not enough to buy a slave."

"Since you have seen the laws clearly and have no objections, then hurry up and go to fight against Afrika!" Li Bida waved his hand happily and stepped onto the horse's back again. Many soldiers of the 10th Legion also raised their arms to express their obedience to the order. Then the flag-holder ran to the location of the Eagle Banner, ready to pull it up, and guide the team out of the camp to gather.

At this time, Skava, who had reacted, was yelling that something was wrong, and ran over to stop the flag officer. However, because the one-eyed person was still not aimed at, he ran away with the flag officer in a wrong way. Then he roared in anger a few times and returned to stop the eagle flag and the soldiers lined up. Then he turned around and pointed at Li Bida and shouted, "You are lying to us! This is only a year's military salary. What we are asking for is the extra reward that Caesar promised, which is hundreds of dinars."

At this time, many soldiers of the Tenth Legion reacted and shouted that they had been fooled. They were almost deceived out of the camp just now. You must know that according to tradition, soldiers who went out of the camp should not turn back, otherwise they would be forced to retire and lose all allowances.

They scolded Li Bida for being treacherous. At this moment, the cavalry commander looked at him and suddenly said to Skava: "I have not deceived you, otherwise you can calculate that you used to take two hundred and fifty Seths to retreat, but now you get five hundred Seths to retreat, how much more?"

After calculating with several soldiers, Skava said that there were two hundred and fifty more Seth to retreat.

"If that month is more than 250, how much is more than a year?"

After careful calculation, the number reported by the soldiers was 3,000 Sess. Li Bida pointed to everyone and said, "If it is 3,000, it is equivalent to 750 dinars. As long as you stay in Afrika until the end of the next winter camp, you can get this amount of money, and the additional allowance is equivalent to cashing." In this way, all the soldiers felt relieved again. Instead of waiting for the rewards there to be fulfilled, it would be better to get the "legitimate military pay" of 750 dinars a year first. At this moment, the flag officers of the 10th Legion raised the eagle flag happily and prepared to drive with the soldiers.

As a result, when he arrived in front of the main gate of the camp, Skava reacted again and shouted angrily, "What are the more than three thousand Sess withdrawals in a year? We are fooled again, but only two hundred and fifty Ses withdrawals in a year. Cavalry commander, you cheat us, I curse your tongue!" Then the camp was trapped in a quarrel.

In the end, the cavalry commander simply admitted directly, "To be honest, there is no money now, and the rewards of hundreds of dinars cannot be fulfilled for the time being. But I agree that the annual salary increases, because there is a dictator's seal on it, and now there is only such a choice left-either you agree that the date of redeeming this reward will be delayed, or you choose to retire now."

When this choice was made, the Tenth Legion was collectively silent again. They then began to discuss and have various ideas. However, after thinking for a while, Li Bida shouted again, "I think this is good. The Tenth Legion I approved a one-year vacation, but the annual salary this year is still fine. You can join the Eighth, Ninth, and Eleventh Legion to temporarily return to the resettlement areas of Rome, Campenia, Etruscania and other places to reunite with your family, or bring the woman you married here back, and you can take a little care of the 'crops' and spread the descendants. As for the bounty issue, what do you think after the dictator returns to Rome, that is, the next year, it will be solved. "

It seems that this is a solution. After discussion, the officers and soldiers of the legion "accepted" the arbitration plan of the cavalry commander. Anyway, Caesar and Cleopatra don't know when they will appear in front of everyone again.

During the "Fig Festival" in July, Li Bida concentrated all his fleets and carried four legions away from Alexander into the sea. In addition, he also issued an edict to the camps in various regions, mobilizing the three legions he had promised in advance to Italy to rest. The rest of the legions remained temporarily to maintain local order. He took three legions to Africa.

Halfway through, the three legions dropped their anchor in Cyrene, the "Five Cities Country". Li Bida intends to ask every soldier to visit this reborn city, renamed "Timgard", the bustling Qi'o Island port dock, the towering hunting goddess temple, an organized theater, stadium, city hall, market and party square, a huge madman printing and dyeing workshop, and lined up veteran resettlement houses, each equipped with water pipes, ditches, regional public toilets and bathrooms.

This is a speechless motivation. Fortunately, the Tenth Legion did not accompany him, otherwise they would definitely complain that the treatment after retirement of the regular legion is not as good as the private auxiliary legion of the cavalry commander.
