"If you go through the parliamentary procedures, your majesty will definitely know." Giuseppe slowly said the reason.
"This is illegal." Pabinian looked at Giuseppe calmly and said.
"We have super citizenship, for Rome!" Giuseppe looked at Pabinian and said.
"If you do this, you won't have it in the future." Pabinian remained silent for a long time.
"No, we are also Roman citizens." Giuseppe was clearly ready.
Pabinian is not unaware of the current situation in the eastern province of Rome. The destruction of the Thirteen Rose Army is enough to show the strength of the other party, but breaking the law is illegal!
"You have a way, the safety of the eastern provinces is in your hands, you choose." Giuseppe looked at Pabinian indifferently.
Just when Papignan hesitated whether to break the law, his slave told him that Caracalla came to visit him, and a flash of light flashed in Papignan's eyes.
"I can't help you, but someone can help you." Pabinian said to Giuseppe immediately, and then took Giuseppe to pick up Caracalla.
"Your Excellency, let me hand over the statistics after the restructuring of the new law." Although Caracalla's eyes are slightly arrogant, he clearly respected a section when he saw what Pabinian and Giuseppe wore.
"It just happens that I have something to inform you. This is the guardian of Giuseppe in the eastern province. He has something to inform." Pabinian introduced Karakara slightly gloomy.
Giuseppe had nothing to hide, and repeated all the previous things to Caracalla. Like Pabinian, he was equally shocked.
"Do you want me to send troops?" Caracalla said after a moment of silence.
Pabinian did not speak. As a judge, letting others do illegal things is not appropriate from any angle, but in this case, let's assume it.
Caracalla is after all the eldest son of Severus. If other people might be dangerous to do this kind of thing, Caracalla is also a huge opportunity while doing this. After all, Caracalla also knows that his father absolutely wants to If you let your son inherit his position, it depends on his merits.
What is more complicated is whether this is a merit or an illegal one. This is very important.
However, Caracalla did not hesitate for too long, but chose to agree with Pabinian ’s proposal, because he knew that he did not have the father ’s excellent war talent and no long-term strategic talent, since Pabinian could say this. , Then the eastern provinces would be quite dangerous if no one rescued.
In addition, the eastern province is the home of Ganasis, and Ganasis is the supporter of Severus. Even if Caracalla is stupid, he knows that if he really saves the eastern province by illegal means this time, then absolutely Can get the goodwill of Ganassis.
In this way, his own advantage is much greater. Therefore, although Caracalla knew that it was illegal, he chose to send troops.
It is said that there is no shortage of soldiers in Rome. Although the orthodox Romans are only 20 million, and half of them have become waste because of eating lead, the remaining Romans have evolved and become stronger.
In addition, the first thing that Severus did was to increase the salary of the soldiers. The original salary of the soldiers at the bottom of the army was about 250 dinari. How to say this level is actually quite low.
According to the impression that the average price of grain at that time, one dinar is equivalent to about 130 yuan, which is almost 32,000 yuan in income per year.
However, the Romans had their own military service mode with armored weapons. Not many soldiers lived purely as soldiers. It is more of the kind when fighting. When you come with weapons and equipment, you can go back and continue playing after the fight.
Therefore, although the income of 250 Dinari is not too much, it is not too small. However, Severus came directly to increase the soldiers' rates to about 1500 Dinari, which is equivalent to the current annual salary of 200,000.
There were a lot of people who were soldiers in an instant. In the official history, the Roman regular legion of Severus period, that is, the Eagle Flag legion reached 33, and the standing force was 300,000.
As for how to give money to so many people, but also to ensure that the country will continue to maintain, in fact, Severus's method is particularly simple, fight, fight fiercely, no matter who he is, as long as the enemy, all killed, and then robbed.
Needless to say, no matter whether it is land, minerals, or other things, it can be converted into money, and then sent to the soldiers. If the losers are gone, do you still need to pay?
If you count the looting of the rest-rest capital and ransack all the most prosperous cities to earn income, the thirty-three full-fledged Eagle Banner Army's pay is very large, but for Severus, who is in a row in a row There is nothing unacceptable for the three full-edition Eagle Flag Legions. After all, only strong strength can make you crazy to plunder and grow.
In short, before the death of Severus, he led the most powerful legion since the Roman king, the Roman republic, and the Roman monarchy. All the enemies that were disobeyed were kneeled down.
Severus confessed his eldest son Caracalla before he died. You and your brother should live in harmony. Do n’t suffer the soldiers, so that they can all get the rewards they deserve, and give them glory and money, so that others do n’t care.
However, in the same year after the death of Severus, Caracalla and his brother Gaeta succeeded at the same time, and Caracalla spent a year killing his brother, and then issued a decree that gave all citizens of the country the treatment of Roman citizens. Then he was killed.
I did n’t want to expand the territory and plunder to the outside world. I actually hit my supporters. It ’s no surprise that I was killed. Then came the dark third century of Rome, the most interesting era in history. I died in fifty years. Of the sixteen emperors, only one of them died of illness.
In short, these are very distant things. Now, thanks to the policy of Besevir, there are not many citizens who want to be professional soldiers in Rome. After all, Severus is not laughing at the treatment of soldiers, saying 1500 Dina Here is 1500 Dinari, just send it.
So now the requirements for recruiting in Rome are getting more and more terrible, because everyone thinks it is good to be a soldier. In the past, because it was honor, now it is not only honor, but also a kind of benefit.
After all, although Roman citizens are wealthy, a good craftsman can earn 1,000 dinari a year. So there are too many people who want to be soldiers. More than just Roman citizens ask, even some such as Teutonic , Anglo, all came running and wanted to be soldiers.
Severus did not say that he must be a citizen, so now Rome is full of excellent soldiers who want to be soldiers.
