Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that all the resistance comes from my own family, it is still no problem that 70 to 80 percent comes from the Claudius family.
After all, Pompianus' ability is indeed very strong, and the industries or places he is targeting are all very well planned, and these places seemed to be terra incognita for more than two hundred years, but in fact they were all under Crow's control.
After a little trial and error, Dius turned it into something of his own.
At present, Pompianus is mainly focused on emerging industries. Those things that could be done before have been almost occupied by the Claudius family. In the new industries, because the smart people of the Claudius family have not
I have seen it, but his brain is not as good as that of Pompianus, so he was lost.
Relying on the huge foundation of the Claudius family, it is still possible to copy Pompianus' work. It does not matter whether you understand the principles or not. After all, it is an industry. To follow the trend, as long as the money, materials and manpower are in place.
, if the policies are in place, then there will be no problems.
Even if you mess up, you can still accumulate experience and it won't cause too much damage. After all, it is purely industrial, without any financial operations, and it is very stable.
Does the Claudius family care about the loss of this screw-up? No.
So if there is no shortage of money or people, as long as Pompianus can arrange the policy for himself, the Claudius family can also arrange it for themselves, and even encircle an area to avoid discovery, and then move the barbarians
Come in and engage in closed industry.
At most, there is a problem with the location, but after the first time and the second time familiarity, after having the awareness of location selection, can their family still find a suitable place?
To be honest, these industries have not been as prosperous as Pompianus in recent years. This is purely because Pompianus is really capable. In terms of other conditions, Pompianus may not be as good as Claudius.
The Si family selects the best among the best. After all, the accumulation of more than two hundred years is no joke.
On the other hand, with the resources that have been controlled for more than two hundred years, Pompianus's economic reforms will inevitably encounter the power of the Claudius family, and the reform can continue. On the one hand, the Claudius family
Now that they have become a royal family, they have to be more restrained in their appearance. On the other hand, the Claudius family has to show their dignity in front of Caesar and Severus.
Otherwise, economic reform is nothing. Just like Pompianus’s situation, except for emerging economies, any other direction of development will encounter resistance from its own people. What’s more important is that this resistance is not intentional suppression, but sheer sheer size.
When it gets close to a monopoly, anyone who enters and develops will soon realize the invisible ceiling.
"You!" Pompianus gritted his teeth and looked at Severus.
"After all, they are members of the family. It is enough to suppress them to a certain extent and prevent them from affecting the operation of the country. Look at all your development directions," Severus and Xini said.
There is nothing we can do about it. If Severus is not crowned for the second time, then suppressing Claudius is what every consul must do. But even if it is suppression, it is only political suppression. Once Claudius
If the Si family restrained itself and retreated to business, the Roman emperor would stop.
After all, you can't really piss people off, right? If they quit the political circle to save face and make some money, and you still suppress them, it would look a bit too ugly.
In fact, this kind of thinking is a very normal thinking even in later generations. If you give up the political power of officialdom and choose finance and commerce, as long as it is not a life and death situation, you will have a green light.
But now Severus is not only the emperor, but also the leader of the Claudius family. So we can't just suppress it, we have to talk about balance. That's why the Claudius family brought Pompianus into the industrial circle.
, give them all away.
"The Claudius family needs to be responsible for Rome." Pompianus breathed out and said. He could understand Severus' difficulties, and in this situation, he even realized that Severus had become Claudius.
The head of the Si family may be beneficial to the country. The foundation of this family is too big. From Sergio's words, Pompianus already understood.
"Yes, we are responsible for Roma, because we are Roma." Sergio replied solemnly.
If someone else answered like this, it would be somewhat of a joke, but as Sergio is the acting patriarch of the Claudius family, there is no problem for him to say this.
Rome went through the royal era, the republican era, and finally entered the imperial era. The Claudius dynasty established by the Claudius family was actually the source of the Roman empire. So he said that they are Rome, and there is actually no problem at all.
.
"Then take responsibility for Rome and show me the catalog of ancestral property." Pompianus looked at Sergio seriously, as if he was testing whether the other party was sincere.
Sergio was silent for a long time, and finally Severus held Sergio down.
"Okay." Sergio nodded slowly. The head of the family had already hinted that the responsibility was no longer on him. "But you can only watch it here, you can't take it away."
Pompianus nodded, and soon a special encrypted mystical mirror was sent over.
Pompianus opened it with his spirit, and then saw the shocking catalog.
Compared with Severus who did not understand the true situation of Rome's economy, Pompianus knew very well that the assets of the Claudius family were far greater than the rest of Rome combined.
"It's too much. Let's cut off some of it." Pompianus said tiredly.
Sergio didn't say anything. He knew that every generation of Claudius family members who were qualified to watch this would be greatly shocked after watching it. Their ancestors had really done all the work they could do.
"You can't cut this thing if you want." Sergio said helplessly, "Even if it is cut, how can you be sure that it is in your hand?"
Just like what Sergio said before, aren't the people in our family who are in charge of intelligence?
Without these people helping each other, how can we hide it from others? Sergio doesn't like to bring the Claudius family together because they are really the majority.
"Cut them over for me as well." Pompianus said solemnly.
"It may not be useful to cut it off. In the past two hundred years, people have done this." Sergio shook his head and said.
"Cut it over, even if it's just a pretense, you have to pretend to me that it belongs to the country." Pompianus gritted his teeth and said, "Whether you can close it or not is a matter of ability, but it is not very important."
From the standpoint of Claudius and Rome, Pompianus has realized how complicated the current situation is, and the only way to solve the problem is to learn from Chen Xi's operation, start the nationalization process, and bring Claudius to the throne.
The Dius family was gradually nationalized.
In this way, it will at least become a whole, not a country, and because of the outrageous size of the Claudius family, the recruitment will essentially be just a matter of left hand and right hand.
If you are an ordinary large family, you can also borrow money from the big family to buy the assets of the big family, and then use the annual output of the assets to repay the money. But when you reach the size of Claudius, even if the country borrows money from the Claudius family
, to acquire Claudius, and then use the profits to pay off the debt. In the end, it was nothing more than a large-scale backdoor listing.
Pompianus had a big head and terrible nerve pain, but he knew he had to do this, otherwise the Claudius family would be separated from Rome sooner or later, and Rome could not do without the Claudius family, and it would also be defeated.
The Laudius family cannot lose Rome either.
The Roman official can only gradually acquire the assets of the Claudius family, then convert them into state-owned assets, and then let the Claudius family completely own the entire Rome.
To a certain extent, this kind of operation can be regarded as the "More Debts" series. The Claudius family became the masters of the entire Rome, but they themselves were the masters, which eliminated the division.
Pompianus directly revealed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, because such a big thing could not be completed by him and required the active cooperation of the Claudius family.
"Is there any difference?" Sergio asked with a frown, while the top wise men around him were thoughtful.
After all, the Claudius family has become the majority in the Senate, and they all know it well. The separation from Rome has been vaguely formed. Sergio did not realize the separation, but he knew to some extent that they had too many people.
It occupies too many seats, which is not conducive to unity.
But this kind of caution cannot change the fact that they are indeed the majority of the Senate. The problem is that the majority of the Senate is not the majority of the citizens. Rome is the Rome of the Claudius family and the Senate.
Rome, but more importantly the Rome of Roman citizens.
Compared with the pressure that the Roman senators can put on the Claudius family, citizens are the real source of pressure. Even if the Claudius family, which is two-thirds rich in Rome, is separated from the citizens, then
There is only a dead end.
"This can roughly solve the biggest problem at present. The Claudius family will become the backing of the Roman citizens, and the Roman citizens will also become the last guardians of the Claudius family." Herodian looked at Pompeanu with a complicated expression.
Si said.
"The lost money will come back, and it will return to the treasury controlled by the Claudius family." Pompianus said with the same complicated mood.
This is already a model of state capitalism, but it is different from normal state capitalism and closer to the capitalism of South Korea's Samsung, a super-large chaebol disguised as a state. However, the slight difference is that the Korean people cannot sanction Samsung, but citizens
Claudius can be punished.
"Is that so?" Sergio looked at Pompianus, "Are you sure you don't want to take away the family's ancestral property?"
"No, the most basic rules still need to be followed." Pompianus sighed, "And, do you think this can be taken away? To be more direct, even if the Claudius family cooperates, the Rome I represent
The authorities have also contributed, can they all be recovered before I die?"
You can't take it back. Unless you pretend to take it back, it's impossible to do it anyway.
Sergio was very melancholy. He felt that he was being held back by the group of people around him. They seemed to really want Pompianus to give it a try. You are all close members of the Claudius family.
, this is carving up the ancestral property, it’s okay if you don’t stop it, but you actually actively promote it.
"Try it, maybe you can solve the problem." Papinian also said from the side.
"This is taking away your ancestral property!" Sergio said, glaring at Pabinian.
"It's okay, I can't spend too much money." Pabinian said with a smile, but his hand was touching the justice's scepter.
"Let him try. In this situation, the senators in the Senate are actually nothing. Citizens are the real majority. We must return to the citizens." Severus was a soldier and stood on certain positions.
Very stable.
"Then you choose, choose what you think is suitable." Sergio glanced at Severus, then at Caesar who didn't care, and handed the catalog of ancestral property to Pompianus again.
"All farms, vineyards, cotton plantations in Sicily, to be precise, the entire island of Sicily will be handed over to the state." Pompianus made a choice quickly. He had considered the layout of Sicily a long time ago.
, but after asking the senators who were in charge of the matter to send people to investigate, they all said that there was no way to open up wasteland, so Pompianus had to give up.
But now that he understood the reason, Pompianus immediately decided to take it back. Taking this back first, grain, wine, and cotton would be enough to solve many problems.
More importantly, if he wanted anything else, he had to understand that Sicily itself was ready-made, and at this scale, with the current financial situation of Rome, it could be eaten stably, and it could also boost the centripetal force of the citizens and avoid indigestion.
.
Sergio glanced at Caesar and Severus again, while the others looked at the acting patriarch of their family. They didn't know that almost the entire island of Sicily belonged to their family, but Ulbian was indeed in Sicily.
The island has hundreds of hectares of vineyards, but now...
Forget it, Ulbian thought about it for a moment and then gave up. That's all. Let's just pay the balance and find another vineyard from Sergio.
"You have no objection, right?" Sergio looked at Herodian. He had the impression that Herodian's family had the largest number of farms in Sicily.
"No objection." Herodian shook his head. He didn't feel any distress at all. He only knew that his family had a farm in Sicily, but it was entrusted to Claudius's family for trusteeship and a sum of money was distributed every year.
Herodian did not get rid of this money and transferred it directly to the Claudius family's own treasury. He has not visited it in these years, so he is not sure how much it is.
After all, you can't expect an honest elder to pay special attention to things like how much money he has. They always just have enough money to spend. The ancestral property is immovable, but just because they haven't seen it, they don't know.
Feeling distressed.
Herodian is really an incorruptible senator, but just like Tacitus, he is also very incorruptible, but this does not prevent his family from being rich. By the way, if Rome is over, the Claudius family will also have a big problem.
It is estimated that their family's private property can support Rome, but just like the group of bureaucrats at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that they have no money, but they have no money in front of the emperor, and there are also problems with civil strife. Many Claudius
The main members of the family have inherited other clan names, resulting in the overall collapse of the family structure. It must be mentioned here that the Roman name consists of real name·clan name·family name. People with the same clan name come from a common ancestor, and Claudius
There were really too many Us, so many that people were numb. If you add in the close branches, it would be even more. Even the official history and the Senate were all piled up, but in the end they still collapsed, and the ununified families fell into
Infighting is really hopeless. During the chaos of the third century, the Claudius family tried to save Rome at least a dozen times, but failed to make any move. In the end, Constantine came to power. I really mean it. As for additional updates, wait until the weekend.
