Early the next morning, after handling the two horses, Zhao Yu sat on the haystack and nibbled on dry bread, which was the food of slaves, mixed with broken rice husks, which was better than black bread, but it was also difficult to swallow.

"Black-hearted slave owners, I heard those female slaves say that this treatment is not bad." Zhao Yu thought with a sad face: "I want to be a local tyrant, but I have fallen to this point, it is the fault of the system, and this turtle son will not make a reminder, otherwise I will bring some food in!" ”

Zhao Yu just complained, if he really wanted to choose, he still wouldn't bring it, and he could only blame the bracelet for being too small.

"That Senatia chick still has a lot of slaves in her family, and she is not tired of work, I am basically idle all day, but she is not in the business of slave fighting, so there is no main line in this way, what should I do?"

Zhao Yu was not idle yesterday, he was familiar with all the slaves in the house, and roughly figured out the current situation.

First of all, Zhao Yu's master, the target of branch 1 he chosen, Senatia, now 22 years old, is the daughter of an elder in the city of Rome, married to Carthage last year, and the young general who married her died in the war with the foreign tribes a few months later, and most of the house and money were distributed to Senatia, and now Zhao Yu's mansion is the unlucky general's.

To say that Senatia was able to get so much property, it was also due to her father's status, and it would be good for the daughter-in-law of ordinary families to get a share.

As for how the people in Senatia are, Zhao Yu didn't ask anything, no slave dared to say to him, people who don't know the roots will not complain about each other's masters, who knows if you will turn around and make a small report after listening to it.

In addition, Senatia has more than 200 slaves, the number of which can be ranked in Carthage, but most of them are not in the courtyard, but outside the city of Carthage, some of them take care of the land, grow grain and vegetables, they have no private property, and the ancient Chinese servants are no different, and some are winery, which is the economic pillar of Senatia.

There are more than 20 slaves around Senatia, most of them are female slaves, and a few male slaves are doing dirty work, and only two are guards, and they are treated better, so Zhao Yu got the stable cleaner job, which is very enviable to the other male slaves, it is too easy!

Zhao Yu said that you are too young, this is a position that has been bribed for dozens of dollars.

Zhao Yu also knows about gladiatorial fighting, in Rome, people are most enthusiastic about gladiatorial fighting, every event, the gladiatorial arena will be full, and this era is even more so, who is called a tyrant who likes gladiatorial fighting.

The champion of Carthage City in Side Challenge 2 will hold a grand gladiatorial tournament in Carthage City in 6 months, this conference will last for two months, and the gladiatorial tournament will determine the strongest gladiator in Carthage City, and he will lead the elite gladiators of Carthage City to participate in the Roman gladiatorial tournament 11 months later.

It is equivalent to the current National Games, where the elite is selected in the province first, and then participates in the national competition, but the process will be much bloodier, and the mortality rate of gladiators is very high.

Therefore, if you want to go to Rome to participate in a gladiatorial fight to kill Commodus, you must first win the elite title of this tournament as a ticket, because of branch 2, Zhao Yu has set the goal of being the champion, and according to the urine nature of the side challenge, it should not be difficult to go all out.

The difficulty now was how to get a ticket to the gladiatorial competition in Carthage, or rather, how to convince Senatia to participate in the competition.

Senatia took over some of her husband's business, but she kept only the winery, which was the most profitable business, the Romans loved wine, and the winery was one of the best in the city of Carthage, with a lot of money.

The business of slave gladiatorial fighting is much more difficult, although it is more profitable, but it is more difficult to enter the industry, first of all, the capital requirements are high, the price of slaves who can be gladiators is not cheap, and they have to eat well to have combat effectiveness, and secondly, they must have master coaches, only brute force can not survive in the gladiatorial arena, a gladiator who can only fight once or twice will lose money, plus a lot of equipment, gladiator slave owners who have no ability are bankrupt.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to let Senatia enter this industry, not to mention that Zhao Yu is speechless in front of her.

"Hi Zhao, good morning!" A big black man walked to the stable with a big bucket on his back and said, "I'll get the carriage." ”

"No problem, I'll put it on for you." Zhao Yu stuffed the last bite of bread and said.

This is a burly black man who is even more burly than Smith, named Rice Bucket, you heard it right, this is his big name, not everyone has a good name in this era, as an African slave, Rice Bucket is even more so, because he was especially able to eat when he was a child, his slave father gave him this name, hoping that his son will never worry about eating in the future.

In modern Africa, there are still many people named like this, and China's so-called cheap name is good to feed, it is a truth, called Friday, lazy, painful and so on.

The rice bucket is doing hard work at home, training a body of muscles, and now he is going to transport the manure accumulated for a day out of the city, which is the dirtiest work.

In fact, the scale of Carthage City is not small, the government has a special dung carrier, but to collect money, an ordinary family has to pay a few ass a month, and Senatia such a large family, the amount is large, a month to pay three dinars, Senatia in order to save this expense, so he arranged for the rice bucket to be transported by himself.

The dung bucket was very smelly, and Zhao Yu stood up after helping the rice bucket set up the carriage and said, "Rice bucket, how long will it take you to go out of the city?" ”

"It's more than an hour, but I'll be out of town for a while." The rice bucket winked playfully, he would also play tricks.

At this time, Rome was the same as the ancient Egyptians, using a water clock to keep time, a 60 system, and the day was divided into 12 o'clock in the morning and 12 o'clock in the evening, which was similar to the modern time system.

"I think you need a coachman today." Zhao Yu smacked his mouth and said, he wanted to get familiar with the environment and walk around the city, if he could catch some animals outside the city, it would be better, he hadn't eaten meat for more than two days, Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

"I guess that's fine, your job is easy, and you have plenty of time to hang out." The rice bucket instantly understood what Zhao Yu meant, and said with a little envy.

So Zhao Yu pretended to catch up the carriage (that is, the horse-drawn trailer) and went out of the yard, as a slave, he couldn't move around at will, so he had to find a reason, so that if Senatia asked, he could prevaricate.

Zhao Yu and the rice bucket drove the carriage and walked in the city, looking at this exotic style, Zhao Yu did not have a trace of appreciation, but felt that it was really broken. This large North African city was rebuilt on the site of former Carthage, and has a sense of history, with narrow streets and horse-drawn carriages that must be slow or run into pedestrians.
