Chapter 4301: clean old man

Although it is an exaggeration to say that all the resistance comes from his own family, it is not a problem that 70% to 80% come from the Claudius family.

After all, Pompianus's ability is indeed very strong, and the industries and places he is eyeing are all quite well-planned, and these places seem to be unclaimed lands for more than two hundred years, but they are actually in Crowe. After a little bit of temptation by Deus, it became his own thing.

At present, Pompianus is mainly attacking emerging industries. Those things that could be done before are almost occupied by the Claudius family. New industries, because the smart people of the Claudius family have no I have seen that the brain is not as good as Pompianus, so it will be lost.

Relying on the huge base of the Claudius family, it is still possible to copy Pompianus’ homework. It doesn’t matter if you understand the internal principles. , the policy is in place, then there will be no problem.

Even if you screw up, you can still accumulate experience without causing too much damage. After all, it is a pure industry, without any financial operations, and it is very stable.

Does the Claudius family care about this messed up loss? not give a **** about.

Then there is no shortage of money, no shortage of people, as long as Pompianus can arrange for himself, the Claudius family can also arrange for himself, and even in order to avoid discovery, enclose an area and move barbarians Come in and engage in closed industries.

At most, there is a problem with the site selection, but once you are a freshman and acquainted with the second time, after you have the awareness of site selection, can their family still find a suitable place?

To be honest, these industries have not been as prosperous as Pompianus in recent years, purely because Pompianus is really strong. In other conditions, Pompianus may not be as good as Claudius The Si family chooses the best among the best. After all, the accumulation of more than two hundred years is not a joke.

On the other hand, with the resources held for more than two hundred years, it is inevitable that Pompianus's economic reform will encounter the power of the Claudius family, and the continuous reform can be continued. On the one hand, the Claudius family It has become a royal family again, and it is more or less restrained in eating. On the other hand, the Claudius family has to show their dignity in front of Caesar and Severus.

Otherwise, economic reform is a ghost. In the case of Pompianus, except for emerging economies, any other direction of development will encounter resistance from its own family. More importantly, this resistance is not deliberate suppression, but purely huge When it is 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, it is my own family. A certain degree of suppression is enough to prevent them from affecting the operation of the country. You can see that all your development directions have been given up." Severus and Si Ni said.

There is no way to do this. If Severus had not been crowned for the second time, suppressing Claudius is what every consul must do, but even if it is suppressed, it is only political suppression. Once Claudius If the Si family restrained themselves and retreated to commerce, the Roman emperor would stop.

After all, you can't really **** him off, right? He quit the political circle to save face and make some money. If you still suppress him, his appearance will be a bit too ugly.

In fact, this kind of thinking is very normal even in later generations. If you give up the political power of the officialdom and choose finance and business, as long as it is not a life and death situation, you will be given the green light.

But now Severus is not only the emperor, but also the Zhengshuo of the Claudius family, so he can't simply suppress it, but balance it, that's why the Claudius family has the industrial circle involved in Pompianus , give up all.

"The Claudius family needs to be responsible for Rome." Pompianus said with a sigh, he can understand Severus' difficulties, and in this situation, he even realizes that Severus has become Claudius The patriarch of the Si family may be beneficial to the country. This family's foundation is too large. From Sergio's words, Pompianus already understood.

"Yes, we are responsible to Rome, because we are Rome." Sergio replied solemnly.

If someone else answered this way, it would be a bit of a joke, but Sergio, as the acting patriarch of the Claudius family, has no problem saying this.

Rome has gone through the era of kingship, the era of republic, and finally entered the era of imperialism, and the Claudius dynasty established by the Claudius family is actually the source of Roman imperialism, so he said that they are Rome, and there is actually no problem .

"It's responsible for Rome, show me the catalog of the ancestral property." Pompianus looked at Sergio very 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.

"Yes." Sergio nodded slowly. The owner had hinted, so the responsibility is not on him. "However, you can only watch it here, and you can't take it away."

Pompianus nodded, and soon a special encrypted secret magic mirror was sent over.

Pompianus opened it mentally, and then saw the shocking catalog.

Compared to Severus who did not understand the real situation of the Roman 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 some out." Pompianus said wearily.

Sergio didn't speak, he knew that every generation of the Claudius family who was qualified to watch this, after watching it, had a great impact, and the ancestors really finished what they could do.

"You can't cut this thing if you want." Sergio said helplessly, "Even if you cut it, how can you be sure that it's in your hands?"

Just like what Sergio said before, isn’t it our family who is in charge of intelligence?

Without these people who help each other, how can we hide from others, Sergio doesn't like to gather the Claudius family because they are really the majority.

"Cut all those people together." Pompianus said solemnly.

"It may not be useful to cut it. In the past two hundred years, there are people who have done it." Sergio shook his head and said.

"Cut it over here, even if it's a fake, pretend it belongs to the country." Pompianus gritted his teeth and said, "It's a matter of ability to accept it or not, but it's not very important."

From the position of Claudius and Rome, Pompianus has already realized how complicated the current situation is, and the solution to the problem can only learn from Chen Xi's operation, start the process of nationalization, and make Claudius The Dius family was gradually nationalized.

In this way, at least it has become a whole, not a country, and because of the outrageous size of the Claudius family, when the time comes, the collection will essentially be left-handed and right-handed.

If it is an ordinary big family, you can also borrow the money from the big family to buy the assets of the big family, and then use the annual output of the assets to pay back the money, but when it comes to the size of Claudius, even if the country borrows money from the Claudius family , to acquire Claudius, and then use the profits to repay the debt, and in the end it was just a large-scale backdoor listing.

Pompianus had a big head, and he was dying of neuralgia, 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. The Laudius family cannot afford to lose Rome either.

Only the Roman officials can gradually acquire the assets of the Claudius family, and then convert them into state-owned assets, and then let the Claudius family completely own the entire Rome.

To some extent, this kind of operation can be regarded as a series of worry-free debts. The Claudius family has become the master of the entire Rome, but they themselves are the masters, which eliminates the split.

Pompianus directly confided all the chaotic thinking in his mind, because such a big matter cannot be completed by him, and the Claudius family needs to actively cooperate.

"Is there a difference?" Sergio frowned and asked, but the top wise men around were thoughtful.

After all, the Claudius family became the majority in the Senate, and they all knew that the split with Rome had vaguely formed. Sergio didn't realize the split, but he also knew that there were too many of them. It occupies too many seats, which is not conducive to unity.

But this kind of cautiousness can't 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 citizens. Rome is the Rome of the Claudius family, and it belongs to the Senate. Rome, but more Rome for Roman citizens.

Compared with the pressure that the Roman elders can put on the Claudius family, the citizens are the real source of pressure. Even if the Claudius family, which is two-thirds richer in Rome, breaks with the citizens, it will not be easy. There is only one dead end.

"It 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 guardian of the Claudius family." Herodian looked at Pompianu with a complicated expression. S said.

"The lost money will come back, and it will go back to the treasury controlled by the Claudius family." Pompianus also said with mixed feelings.

This is already the model of state capitalism, but it is different from normal state capitalism, and it is closer to the capitalism of South Korea's Samsung, a super-large chaebol disguised as a state, but the slight difference is that the Korean people cannot sanction Samsung, but citizens Claudius can be sanctioned.

"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 have to be followed." Pompianus sighed, "And, do you think this can be taken away? To be straightforward, even if the Claudius family cooperates, the Rome I represent will The authorities have also contributed, can they all be recovered before I die?"

It can't be taken back, unless it is pretending to take it back, otherwise it is 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 branches of the Claudius family. , This is dividing up the ancestral property. You don't want to stop it, but you still actively promote it.

"Try it, maybe it can solve the problem." Papinian also said aside.

"This is taking your ancestral property!" Sergio said, staring at Papinian.

"It's okay, I can't spend too much money." Pabinian said with a smile, but his hand was touching the magistrate's scepter.

"Let him try. In this situation, the elders of the Senate are actually nothing. The citizens are the real majority. We must return to the citizens." Severus was born as a soldier and stood on some 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 list of ancestral property to Pompianus again.

"All the farms, vineyards, and cotton plantations in Sicily, to be precise, the whole of Sicily are handed over to the state." Pompianus quickly made a choice. He had considered the layout of Sicily a long time ago. , but the elders in charge of this matter sent people to investigate and said that there was no way to open up wasteland, so Pompianus had no choice but to give up.

But now that he understands the reason, Pompianus decided to take it back immediately. Taking this back first, food, wine, and cotton are enough to solve many problems.

More importantly, for other things, he has to understand that Sicily itself is ready-made, and at this scale, with the current financial situation in Rome, it can be eaten stably, and it can also boost the centripetal force of the citizens without indigestion. .

Sergio glanced at Caesar and Severus again, while the others looked at the acting patriarchs of their families. They didn't know that almost all of Sicily belonged to their family, but Urbian was indeed in Sicily There are hundreds of hectares of vineyards on the island, but now...

Forget it, Urbian gave up after thinking for a moment, the words have come to this point, let's just pay the final payment later, and find another vineyard from Sergio.

"You have no objection." Sergio looked at Herodian, and he had the impression that Herodian's family had the most farms in Sicily.

"No objection." Herodian shook his head, he didn't feel any distress, he only knew that his family had a farm in Sicily, but it was entrusted to Claudius's family, and a certain amount of money was distributed every year.

Herodian didn't have the money, and it was directly transferred to the Claudius family's own treasury. I haven't visited it in these years, so I don't know how much money there is.

After all, you can't expect a clean and honest elder to pay special attention to things like how much money they have in their family. They always have enough money to spend, and their ancestral property is not immutable. But because they haven't seen it, they don't Distressed.
