Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 324 The Granary of Rome

Campania is located in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, at the southern foot of the Apennine Mountains, on the verge of the Tirrenian Sea. From the Liri River in the north, Campania in the south to the Bay of Polycastero, it includes the provinces of Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Naples and Salerno, covering an area of ​​13,600 square kilometers.

Of course, these data come from future data.

Campania is not so vast now, it is just a small town with a population of less than 200,000.

Of course, the territory outside the city of Campania is a bit large.

The most important thing is that Campania has a seafront and a vast sea area.

This means that it won’t be long before Ye Tian can form his own powerful navy.

The terrain around the city of Campania consists of many mountains, hills and mountain basins, but there is an incomparably vast “September 17” plain along the coast.

After winning Campania, Ye Tian could not only form a navy, but also realize his horse ranch plan.

Campania can be said to be one of the most important colonies in Rome, because it is rich in food.

Campania was Rome’s grain-producing region until Rome received the more abundant grain of Egypt.

Now, Campania has fallen into Ye Tian’s hands, which means that he can control half of Rome’s granary, which means that he has control of terrifying wealth, and it also means that the Roman Senate can no longer tolerate him.

If the Roman Senate learned that Ye Tian had begun to bring Campania into his domain, they would have been furious.

Another point!

That’s salt!

Being close to the sea means that Ye Tian will have the greatest wealth of salt!

No matter what age, no matter what country or dynasty, salt means great wealth.

Ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and even the entire Mediterranean knew that salt could be boiled with sea water.

However, such a precious thing as salt has always been controlled by aristocratic interest groups.

Therefore, salt, like ancient China, is an official item. Ancient Rome had laws prohibiting the sale of illicit salt and the sale of illicit salt. Once found, the crime was very heavy.

For this, Ye Tian didn’t bother to pay attention to them.

He not only boils the private salt and sells the salt, but also purifies the salt with the most advanced methods, so that his salt becomes the most authentic salt and the real official salt.

Dissatisfied?

That’s it.

Refined salt will become a hard-core top grade in his chamber of commerce.

It can be said that after he completely controls Campania and Samone, his strength will become even more terrifying.

Because the food in Campania alone is enough for him to raise more troops.

Because of its geographical location and abundant grain, Campania has not lost many battles for the city.

The Senate in Campania is much larger than the Senate in Ethiopia. There are almost two hundred seats. The people here are relatively wealthy, and the nobles naturally need not be mentioned.

Ye Tian found the leader seat and sat down, Daisy and the others stood neatly beside him, valiant and heroic, with scarlet blood on their armor, making them look a little scary.

“Lord Satan, all the elders are here..

More than half an hour later, Brian walked in with a mighty group of people, including old people and middle-aged people, who were trembling and looked at Ye Tian with fear when they entered the door.

Along the way, they saw that every important place or important place was occupied by a group of ferocious soldiers.

They know that the whole city has been controlled by this young general.

This is too terrifying, how long has it been since the siege took place, they just reacted, and the whole city was already under control, this is simply an army of the gods.

Moreover, the elders of the main station had just been assassinated last night, and this morning this army attacked.

If this is not a coincidence, it means that the whole city has already been mastered by this young man.

coincide?

Could it be such a coincidence?

Most of the nobles prefer to believe that this is the master’s arrangement, and do not believe that it is a coincidence.

Thinking of this, I am even more afraid of this young man.

“I have seen Lord Satan!”

“I have seen Lord Satan!”

All the elders saluted Ye Tian with great respect..

“Bryan, didn’t I ask you to hand over all the elders and nobles? Looking at these seats, there are still a lot of people who didn’t show up? And another consul?”

Ye Tian raised his brows and asked Bu Bryan lightly.

“Honorable Lord Satan, another consul and his closest henchmen are the main war faction, who advocated resistance to Rome to the end, last night they were obliterated by mysterious power God bless me Campania, without them , I think we in Campania will reduce some disasters…

Brian respectfully said to Ye Tian, ​​looking at Ye Tian’s calm face, he had to admire Ye Tian’s steadiness.

“Dead? It’s good to be dead! I need to do it myself! But I am very curious, how many of them can control the will of so many of you? In other words, there are still many survivors among you. War faction?”

Ye Tian nodded, then a trace of coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked lightly.

“Don’t dare to be adults, we don’t dare! We are all of the Lord’s Peace

“No, really no more…

The absolute majority of the elders were trembling with fear, because they felt that Ye Tian seemed to have murderous intentions against them.

“Is it not that you have the final say and that I am a fool? It depends on how you behave

Ye Tian smiled coldly, making everyone worried, this young man is really scary.

“0.4 I will tell you a few things, first, you and all Campania will be my people! Still, from the moment I broke Campania, the whole city is mine Private land! It can be said that from now on, you have nothing to do with Rome, understand? I am announcing with you, not discussing with you

, So, if you want to ask me why, you can just shut up! Next, you just need to pass the news to the people of Campania! Starting today, Campania will be renamed Satan City, it It’s just a section of Satan City!”

Ye Tian stood up and said to all the elders with a very serious expression.

As his voice fell, everyone’s body trembled slightly, extremely shocked and unbelievable.
