Obviously, the city of Gloucester, which is on the border of the British provinces, has a permanent population of less than 20,000, and has been fighting for many years and the people are poor, cannot support too high a level of consumption. Therefore, the Roman brothels here all seem to be the type of naked celestial camps for the working people at the bottom.

Seriously, although at first glance this room of naked women seems to be quite exciting, but if you look closely, you will find that they generally have sagging breasts, rough skin, frostbite and bruises, and generally do not look very good—after all, the ancient people lived in poor conditions and aged early, and some women who were only in their twenties already looked like aunts in their thirties and forties. And in a brothel like the British Province, there is naturally no such thing as a beautiful woman: the old bustard who runs the brothel simply cannot afford such an expensive girl.

In short, although he felt very embarrassed and awkward, Wang Qiu still informed the two camps, saying that the brothels in the city had been chartered to receive them, and they were asked to come and see for themselves if they were interested, and the cost of prostitution was paid for by themselves in small bits and pieces - British society in these years had degraded to the point that even the coins had disappeared, and the cost of prostitution could only be directly given to food, cloth, or other gadgets, such as beautiful and dazzling mobile phone pendants and keychains...... As a result, many misers paid for the black bread that the Romans had brought for dinner.

Unexpectedly, although most of the people came and went one by one after seeing the faces of these prostitutes. But there were still quite a few people who happily entered and happily took off their pants and shot - because this naked woman never shy away from others when doing business. So Wang Qiu saw a young man less than twenty years old, riding on a naked aunt who looked like she was in her fifties—well, I heard that some Western heavyweight young people seem to be particularly fond of hanging out with older prostitutes...... Of course. Wang Qiu himself was insensitive to this.

In addition to the naked brothels similar to the naturist camp, the only remaining pastime in the city is the bathhouse. The bathhouse culture of ancient Rome has always been famous and well-known in ancient and modern times, so Wang Qiu and others are also interested in seeing it - in the city of Gloucester, there is currently a large public bath open to the public, and two private small baths belonging to the church and the royal palace. And Wang Qiu naturally bathed in the palace.

- Although the palace in Gloucester is very dilapidated and dirty, the baths are still neat and tidy because they are often used. In the light of the flickering firelight. The whole bath seems to be shrouded in a gentle heat, and it has a strange and dreamlike feeling. After changing into a bathrobe, Wang Qiu looked at the layout of the baths in this place, and walked towards the nearest bath - the bath culture in ancient Rome was indeed quite developed. Each of the round baths has a different temperature. In order to allow people with different needs to take a bath comfortably.

Furthermore. Wang Qiu also felt uncomfortable with the bath products unique to the ancient Romans in this era - because bath towels and blocks of soap had not yet been developed, their bathing utensils were extremely strange: first, they needed to use a long-handled wooden bucket to scoop water from the bath to wash off the dust on their bodies, and then find a pool with a slightly hot temperature to sit down. After soaking for about ten minutes, he was called out of the pool and sat on a wooden bench not far from the pool. A bather applied the bathing oil to Wang Qiu's body.

When every part of the body has been covered with oil, the bather will take out a strangely shaped flat iron rod - this thing is called a descaling stick - and scrape the dirt from Wang Qiu's body, the next step. You also have to go into another pool with a slightly higher temperature to soak it so that you can soften the hair on your body. It was then shaved by servants – the body hair of Europeans was still heavy in this era......

In addition, in the baths of the Romans, there were already early saunas. The walls and materials of the sauna are similar to those of later pottery kilns, and they are all the same yellow vaulted buildings. It's just that the space is much larger than that of a pottery kiln. However, before entering the sauna, it is necessary to wear thick wooden shoes. Since the floor of the sauna is covered with hot water pipes, the temperature of the floor becomes very high when heated, so you should not step on it barefoot, as both feet will be severely burned. Inside the sauna is a circle of wooden benches, and in the middle of the benches there is a pool where you can scoop water at any time. Wang Qiu and Arthur and the others found a chair at random and sat down, and began to enjoy the sauna slowly.

The so-called sauna is to steam out the sweat at high temperature, and then scoop water from the warm pool from time to time to pour water on the body to get rid of the sticky feeling. But despite constantly pouring water on his body, Wang Qiu still felt very depressed, so he used chat to relieve his depression and chatted slowly with several other people.

The first thing they had to talk about was, of course, the battle that had just ended. On the outskirts of Gloucester City, Wang Qiu threw in all 2,000 soldiers in one go, relying on modern weapons such as drones, rocket artillery, and military vehicles, and first carried out indiscriminate bombardment according to the strategy of "shooting first, then observing", and then the whole army pressed on and launched a crushing killing of more than 1,000 Anglo tribal warriors in the Iron Age...... Of course, this method is suspected of extravagance and waste, but after all, this is also the first actual combat drill of his special task international mercenaries in Yishijie, and the result is not satisfactory: although the ammunition is wasted a little more, the prisoners are captured a little less, and the enemy is not captured any important people, but after all, it is a complete victory, and his own side still has zero casualties - you know, his inter-time mercenaries have nowhere to replenish personnel!

Of course, it would be even better if the next time there was a war, the cost of operations could be lowered.

Secondly, it is the exploitation of the resources of the island of Great Britain - although compared with the extravagant profligacy of the war of Egypt to launch expensive missiles, Wang Qiu's current military expenditure on the battlefield of the island of Great Britain is not much, after all, rockets are much cheaper than missiles, but it is not only the expenditure that has not been paid.

In order to extract as much wealth as possible from this land, in addition to the high-quality cold temperate timber found throughout the island of Great Britain, the famous Welsh anthracite, the silver and zinc mines of Mandips are also good developments. But collecting these resources requires a lot of labour, and the island of Great Britain is extremely sparsely populated, with a total population of only a million, and it is difficult to get so many lumberjacks and miners.

For this reason, Wang Qiu and Arthur discussed again, and finally decided to take advantage of the fact that the Western Roman Emperor was in danger and the Celtic reinforcements were about to gather, so that the traveler Shili could take advantage of the victory and force the Celts of various states to submit, so as to extract the maximum labor from their kingdom.

Zuihou, they finally finished bathing, each returned to the tent to rest, ready to go to the emperor's trapped Barton Mountain the next day to "rescue". (To be continued......)
