After a month, the cold had subsided a lot, and I was finally able to grow crops.

It's just that there are many more Germanic people in the busy fields, and they are the tribes that are subservient to Luga, and now Luga has arranged for these subjects to work like the peasants of Rome.

After recovering such a barbarian tribe, Luga took in more Lombard and Frankish migratory tribes and held them firmly in Belgian Gaul.

Not only herding sheep but also farming, as long as they were able to pay enough taxes, they were able to live under the protection of the Romans.

"The priest has promised us that for God's sake, we will come into contact with their leaders from time to time." Andrew reported to Luga: "From the mouth of the leader of the barbarians, I know that they are Lombards, because the cold has made it impossible for the cattle to live. ”

"And what did they think of the Romans?"

"I haven't heard anything about this, but the leader of this barbarian says he will repay you!"

"Repay me?" Luga shook his head with a smile, and then said, "As long as he doesn't give me nonsense." ”

"I hope so, Lord Luga." Speaking of this, they only heard a sound outside the door, and everyone turned their heads to see Arecio walking in unhurriedly with a lazy look.

Arecio had always been opposed to the acceptance of the Lombards, and he could not understand why Luga was so nice to them. Is it because of the so-called Christian doctrine of fraternity? This was something that Arecio could never understand, he had allowed himself to be overwhelmed by hatred and thought it was a good thing.

This is beyond reproach, after all, after going through so much pain, I am afraid that the only one who can be relieved is Jesus, but it is worth mentioning that Jesus is only that one person.

"Arecio, you have to understand that these people are no longer the barbarians who crossed the border recklessly." Luga reminded Arecio repeatedly: "Don't discriminate against them, they will show us their usefulness someday." ”

"Look, look." Arecio couldn't listen to Luga's advice, "It's really hard to imagine these damned barbarians, I'd rather all the Romans here die than see the barbarians farming here!" Oh my God, you should just stand among them and smell the stench on them, and they eat green onions, oh my God, such a disgusting thing! Damn, damn it! ”

"I'm afraid you'll have to get familiar with this kind of life in the future!" Luga said bluntly to Arecio: "We are now preparing to expand the recruitment of these barbarians, which means that the current border guards have begun to expand the barbarians. ”

"What?" Arecio's eyes widened and he almost jumped on the spot, he threw himself directly in front of Luga and said to him fiercely, "Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? This is Rome! Not Lombardy, not Frankish, not Burgundy! ”

Naturally, Arecio didn't understand what Luga was thinking, he just saw that if he was afraid that your Belgian Gaul was full of barbarians, then so many barbarians would definitely seriously affect his rule.

Although it is remote here, as the supreme governor of a province, he is also a soil emperor, and it is naturally easy to call for wind and rain in his own jurisdiction, but so many barbarians who are disobedient to discipline have come in, so how to deal with this group of barbarians is even more problematic.

Luga led his cavalry on a tour of the various tribes that had settled here, and as a sign of submission to Luga, they had to follow Roman law, especially the newly published Code of Theodosius.

Luga said as he walked: "I have asked Pope Leo I to send missionaries, and I believe that relying on their Bibles may be able to change this gang of barbarians. ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will turn against these lying missionaries, and that they won't even be able to endure the killing spreath?" Andrew asked curiously beside him.

"So, I have decided to leave 10,000 of the most elite soldiers to you, my Legion Commander!" Luga looked at Andrew and blinked, "From now on you are a defense officer in Belgian Gaul, remember, as long as the barbarians make a move, as long as they kill the priest, it means that they have become enemies of Rome." You are the most experienced in dealing with enemies! ”

"Leave it to me, Luga!" Andrew nodded heavily, looking confident.

"They brought their own cattle and sheep, and the grass that grew back was able to feed them." Luga pointed to the surrounding meadow, and then pointed to the forest not far away and said to Andrew: "Barbarians may go near the dense forest to hunt at any time, and they know that hunting is a pastime for nobles, so you must properly handle the relationship and divide the territory, so that the barbarians can't rob the nobles' hunting area!" ”

"Don't worry, Luga!" Andrew patted his chest and reassured.

"Oh, then, it's time to give your legion a name!"

"Flavis!" Andrew said without thinking about it: "The Roman Empire is ruled by the Flavis family, so it is only fitting that the name of the legion is called Flavis, that is, to let the restless fellows among these barbarians know who the real master of this place is!" ”

Returning to Agripina, it should be that Luga was in a hurry and didn't notice that there was an orphanage in the city of Agripina.

The orphanage has been restored from an abandoned polytheistic temple, and the frescoes and carved statues of the gods on the walls are dilapidated, but the children are still not stopping themselves from entertaining themselves.

"Who the hell has the kind heart to build an orphanage?" It is possible to build an orphanage in this place, and I don't know if there are such welfare institutions in other parts of the empire. This gave Luga a very sacred feeling, after all, it was not easy to take care of so many children.

"This is what Anai is not going to build." Arecio said angrily behind Luga: "After your absence, she often felt lonely, and I know her situation, and the loss of the child she was carrying at that time devastated her, and somehow it seemed to anger God, so she took away her power as a mother. Arecio was silent as he spoke, and after a long time he continued: "I think you should spend time with her, this strong woman, I can sometimes tell that she is lonely, but she always laughs happily every time she is with the children, but then she is sad when she leaves. ”

"She's a woman who won't bow her head after all, and she told me about herself last time, but because the war is imminent and I don't have time to deal with it, sometimes I blame myself deeply, if I had stood in front of that bastard when she snatched her ring, then the child who didn't survive would have grown up to be a great man." Lu Jia said, took a deep breath, as if he was fully prepared to enter the welfare home to see Ana, this noble and strong woman who has been absent for a long time!
