As he spoke, Li Bida slowly raised his hand, and in an instant, the patriarch's heart felt as if a century had passed, as if it was a posture of ordering execution, but the chief lieutenant was still saying slowly, "After a detailed investigation, and the authorization of Dick Tudo, I hereby announce again, about the public enemy—"

In the dead silence of the synagogue, thousands of eyes looked at his raised fingers, and even the breathing and panting of the people next to them were in their ears, and I don't know how long, Li Bida's hand slashed down, "The public enemy declaration and secret notification system will be abolished and abolished from now on!" ”

Then Dick's lieutenant leaned against the pulpit, and the clerks were stunned, and then went on to "rustle" on the papyrus, and the two carpenter slaves were sweating and carving the contents of the meeting on the wooden board, which were to be cast into bronze blocks to be issued as an edict of the state.

Since this sentence came from Li Bida's mouth, said in the Juilliard Hall, and was engraved on the inscription, there would never be a falsehood, and all the patriarchs were silent after staring at each other, and then they all raised their hands and burst into thunderous shouts, as if the resentment and worry that had been pressed on their bodies for half a lifetime disappeared in an instant.

All the praises, every qiē and qiē, were poured on Caesar and Lypida, and even Cicero, Banks, and other old men could not help cheering and standing up to applaud—the greatest source of terror since the time of Sulla had been abolished by another dictator, although Cicero was still skeptical of this great news in his heart.

"Probably because in this era, there is no need for even secret information in the immediate power struggle. Just use the legion armament to solve it! "It's the smiling Li Bida. In his mind, he made a futuristic note to Cicero's question.

Seeing everyone's feelings, they are very lively and joyful. Li Bida also sat on the circle chair temporarily, stroking the wide red belt embroidered on the robe, and then pinching the hilt of the sword on his waist, even in the hall, he carried this guy with him, and about a quarter of a quarter of a moment later, seeing that the group of people was almost done talking nonsense, he stood up again. The second matter was declared: could the decree on the restriction of extravagance and family summons be formed into a Senate resolution and subsequently submitted to the Tebris Civil Council for formal execution?

Brushing it, the elders were very embarrassed, many people still maintained the jubilant posture just now, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves, their energy during this time was all focused on the possible public enemy announcement, and there was no countermeasure to this matter, or Li Bida himself "empathetic" proposed a compromise solution, "Gentlemen." I know that the current decree is very difficult to implement directly at the practical level. So I offered a commendable compromise to all the nobles and fathers present - Dictus lacked money but not food, and I had served as the Grain Superintendent this year, knowing that there was still a considerable surplus of grain, nails, and timber in all parts of Italy. ”

The following meant, understood to all the senators present - that is, to take out all the money in his hand, whatever share of sixty thousand cesses, to buy these things as a compliment, what a madness, who needs these things for forts and ships, and is not there enough poultry meat and grain on my own estate? What's more, where to find those things to hoard these heavy and bulky "goods"?

Doubts and arguments gradually rose, of course, this difficulty was also expected by Li Bida, he calmed down the noise, and then recounted, "Of course, the difficulties of warehouses and transportation, I also take into account, although everyone is not in business, and they regard business as a disdainful business, but after all, there are still some financial slaves engaged in these activities. We might as well buy these goods virtually, of course, only virtually, so we don't want granaries - Caesar's surplus grain can still be used in future wars, or in the rationing of the civilians of Rome, and as for the surplus timber and iron nails, I will easily consume them in military construction - but the money handed over is still everyone's, but it is only temporarily handed over to Caesar for safekeeping, and the credit for repayment is based on the credibility of the state and Diction, and the term is separated, Depending on the quota, it ranges from six months to three years. Vouchers are also available. ”

After speaking, Mattia next to Li Bida immediately took out a shiny bronze nameplate from the box he was carrying, which was engraved with the amount of coins and the seal of Dicktido, "Gentlemen, please call this thing a 'bond', hold it, and when the deadline is reached, use it as a certificate to ask the state to repay the loan, how about it?" ”

After saying that, several slaves walked around the meeting hall with baskets full of such bonds, and the senators grinned in pain, but they could only follow along, and chose the nameplate that matched their financial resources, and then trembled their lips and purred and carried it in their arms.

A bronze plate, equivalent to 100,000 or even a million Cestricks, is simply

After the meeting was dismissed in the evening, a long queue formed again in front of the Juilliard Hall, all of whom were forced by various nobles to come and hand over the coins, and Li Bida demanded no copper coins, only gold and silver coins, because there was no point in collecting copper coins.

Looking at the jars of dazzling coins, Matthias became excited, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Li Bida's move, "I know, and the last step is to mint coins, right?" Caesar is now short of money, so we can mint new coins, but mix them with the appropriate proportion of lead or other things, so that the same denomination of coins will be less fine than before, and the extra part will be included in Caesar's private treasury to support the operation of the army, and can also solve the money shortage and stabilize the price of goods in the market. The more the Jewish child spoke, the more excited he became, but Lybida took out a gold coin from the urn, looked at it, and touched the notch on it, which the Romans liked to make with teeth or tools in gold and silver coins, and to see if the fineness was sufficient, and then he immediately rejected Matthias's idea, "No, the fineness is more than the previous coins, because I think the problem now is not to loot money, but to protect the credit of the bonds. We only need to bring supplies to the city of Rome, and then relax the market for luxury goods, and extract taxes, so that we can accumulate enough money. ”

"In this way," said Matthias, and then he became embarrassed, saying that the gold and silver coins paid by the nobles were re-minted and circulated, and I am afraid that the quantity would not be enough.

"It doesn't matter, didn't I just ask the senators to gather again to vote, or to issue an edict in the name of Dictida, urgently requisitioning all the temple's gold and silver wall decorations and utensils, and returning to the furnace to mint new coins, so that the amount is sufficient." Li Bida said, and finally he suddenly smiled strangely, and whispered to Matthias, "The extra small part will be processed as a fire consumption record and cast into gold and silver ingots, and I will keep it private, and it will be used in Cyrene in the future."
