Chapter 359: The Great Sequanolen
Staying up all night, Luga and Anai sat on the stones and snuggled up to each other, just like they had been in the abandoned house, except for Andrew, which made them both more natural.
Happy times are always short-lived, and in just a moment when the moon is in the sky, the east is white.
"Time flies!" Luga looked at the sun, which was only showing a little yellow edge, and began to complain, because the rising sun meant that he would not linger any longer.
"Stepping on ......"
Before he could finish his sigh, Luga heard loud and heavy footsteps behind him. As soon as I turned around, oh my God, a large number of troops came to the head of the village in the form of a phalanx of 100 men, one by one, along the path. I saw a horse riding over, and on the back of the horse was Andrew, who was heavily armed.
"Hi Luga!"
Andrew rode behind them, looking at Luga with peach blossoms, and Anai snuggling in Luga's arms so numbly, Andrew who was in a long-distance relationship was naturally unwilling. He coughed a few times at Lu Jia with his face hanging, and said to Lu Jia at the top of his throat: "Hey, I said Your Excellency General, are you ready?" The fifteen thousand brothers behind him can't see such a meaty scene, and there are generals who are grinding! ”
After saying this, Anai hurriedly got up from Luga's arms and smiled embarrassedly at Andrew. The beauty smiled so that Andrew no longer knew how to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Hurry up, Luga, the soldiers are still waiting!"
Andrew snorted dissatisfiedly, urged a few words with complaint, and then said no more.
"Okay, okay!" Luga waved his hand at Andrew and turned back to Anai before saying, "This time, I owe you a favor. ”
Anai smiled and nodded at Luga, got up from him, got up and straightened his clothes. Luga then got up and pulled Anai to the front of the carriage at the head of the village.
At this time, all the men, women, and children in the village came, and they gathered together, and now behind the old village chief, he looked at the army that could not see the end. The old village chief's expression is even more unique, presumably knowing that he offended someone who shouldn't have offended, who knew that after two years, he would become such an unstoppable appearance, and naturally he was filled with remorse in his heart. He didn't know what to do, so he could only stand at the head of the carriage and beg for Luga's forgiveness.
"Thank you for your hospitality!" Lu Jia puffed up his chest and patted the old village chief on the shoulder with a look of spirit, which was also strange, every time Lu Jia patted it, the old village chief became a little shorter. Coupled with the panicked look on his face, Lu Jia understood at a glance, and his heart was empty!
He still has a fluke, so he just let him get lucky, and Lu Jia will not pursue it, after all, they are all working hard for their own survival, there is no right or wrong.
Luga got into the car in front of the old chief, and the carriage moved slowly to the shouting of the groom, and it was not until he was far enough away that the old chief breathed a sigh of relief. The guests were all gone, and he still stood in a daze, presumably thinking about how he had treated Luga and repenting for his actions, or maybe it was just a fluke that would not be left, so who knows, maybe only himself!
The province of Cerquanoren, with the city of Visantio as its capital, was where Augustus had lost his hand to Luga, but now Luga has returned as a victor. The city was still the same, but the center of the nobles who came to compliment them was no longer Augustus or Litolho, but Luga.
After a long time of shirking, Luga finally walked to the Doge's Palace, all the way up, which was full of cleaning slaves, because it had been a long time since the Doge had been arranged. The power is only the senators "elected" by the people, and the senatorial councils formed by them share a considerable amount of power in the province. Now exercising the rights of the Viceroy in the Governor's Palace, Luga was staying in the Governor's Palace, and he walked down the corridors of the Governor's Palace, with slaves kneeling on both sides of the road.
"So many slaves?" Luga had never felt such treatment before, and it was really unaccustomed to facing so many slaves at once.
"I heard that the senators chose their slaves to serve the governor." Andrew followed behind him, and continued: "They are also responsible for the health and other aspects of the Governor's Palace, and the news that you have become the Governor will always come sooner than you, and they have done it so carefully, so they naturally have expectations for you." ”
"What promise can I give them? More power? Luga snorted coldly and said: "I came here and didn't care about their internal affairs at all, in short, they are now afraid that my arrival will break their inherent order, and I don't mix with internal affairs, as long as they can guarantee the payment of taxes on time and ensure the abundance of the granary, I have nothing else to ask for." ”
Soon, the clerk who followed behind took note of Luga's words, and withdrew, delivering the message to the Senate not far away, as Luga had ordered. At least not to mess with the senators here, and to be able to stabilize the province is of great significance for Luga's future planning.
As soon as he opened the governor's exclusive office, Luga was surprised that there was a person sitting in the office. Luga looked at it and couldn't help but ask, "Arecio, why are you?" ”
Arecio slowly raised his head, looked at Luga, and said with a smile: "Luga, you have come very slowly this way. So saying, he stood up, walked up to Luga, handed him a wad of parchment, and said to Luga: "Look, this is the specific situation you want in Belgian Gaul." ”
Luga took the parchment, which was densely written in Latin script, large and small.
"Blame for the details." Luga couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "Are you all provided with this thing by your insider?" ”
Arecio didn't say anything, just nodded.
"It seems that the Bagorda faction is not at peace either." Luga sighed as he watched, thinking that this was not a golden opportunity, the barbarians did not have the ability and ideas to get their hands on this huge province, because they were inextricably linked with each other, but now that Luga had arrived, and knew their details, he was naturally full of confidence in recovering this province.
"Of course, they're a bunch of poor people after all." Arecio said disdainfully: "The rich man hid his huge wealth before leaving, and these fools who have only brute force but no brains will naturally not be able to find it, and as the ranks grow larger and larger, their already meager economy will be immediately stretched thin in front of the huge army." The money from raiding houses alone is not enough for their main leaders to scrape points, and now the contradictions are becoming more and more acute, so they have split into leaders of various sizes to work separately, and the soldiers under their command who can support themselves are naturally supported, but they don't know how to operate and only plunder, so the subjects of the fallen provinces are eager to return to the Roman model. ”
"I'll try, but we're not strong enough right now!" Luga put down the parchment, thought for a moment and said to Arecio and Andrew: "I plan to find the nobles to raise money, especially those from the occupied provinces, and let them pool the money, and then use it to expand our army and strength, and then after recovering the lost territory, it will guarantee their rights and interests in the occupied areas." ”
