"The Sura Family seems to have discovered an iron mine with extremely high iron content recently. I wonder if you know about this?”
Ye Tian sat up straight and took a sip of wine before asking.
"Yes, I've heard of it. I have to say that Sura's luck is really good. It's said that the iron ore content in this mine is extremely high, and the quality of the iron ore is very high! Once they developed this mine, they would gain a huge fortune!”
Aurelia said slowly.
"If you only treat it as a sum of money, then it's really too simple! Iron ore was the most important military material! Rome had been fighting all year round, and the consumption of iron and copper was extremely serious! The appearance of this huge mine meant more about Sulla's prestige in the army and the Sulla Family's bargaining chip in the Council of Elders! "It means that he will succeed in the next election for the position of consul. It means that Marius of your camp will not be elected. It means that the Julius Family, Marius Family, Qina Family, and even your O'Reilly Family will be suppressed and restricted in every way!!”
Ye Tian shook his head, his voice heavy as he analyzed the future situation. Aurelia's body trembled slightly, her expression grave.
She hadn't considered Ye Tian's words.
In her heart, the mine that Sura had obtained was just a huge fortune.
She didn't have Ye Tian's vision of the big picture, and she didn't foresee that there would be such a huge crisis behind this matter.
Yes, crisis!
The struggles between the nobles, especially between the big families, were also very intense, especially in the past few years. It could almost be described as tragic, and there was a faint trend of civil war.
The battle between Ma and Su was the most obvious.
Everyone knew that once one side took the stage, the other side would definitely find a severe blow.
" As far as I know, Marius is not as powerful on the battlefield as he was in the past due to his age. Moreover, he is not the commander-in-chief this time. He is controlled by others everywhere. Even if Rome ends the war of the 'allies' on the battlefield, it will not gain much merit. He was afraid that his plan to convert military merits into political achievements would fail! Therefore, if Sura gets the right to speak in this mine again, the outcome will be decided. We'd better make preparations for a foolproof plan!”
Ye Tian continued to analyze, causing Aurelia's expression to become even more serious.
"Dear Satan, since you took the initiative to come to me and discuss this matter with me, I believe you have already thought of a way to break out of this situation, right?”
A moment later, Aurelia relaxed and smiled at Ye Tian.
Thinking of this, her heart trembled inexplicably. As expected of the man she thought highly of. He was so young, but he had to participate in this terrifying storm.
"Indeed! This is the foundation of your comeback! Or rather, it's the root of our comeback! After all, I've already been tied up by you guys. I'll die together with you!”
Ye Tian smiled and handed the title deed Philip had given him to Aurelia.
He didn't expect the Sura Family to keep their mouths shut so tightly that no one among the nobles knew that the land had actually fallen into the hands of a wealthy slave owner like Philip.
" What's this??"
Aurelia flipped it open and was ecstatic.""Land deed! Heavens, it was actually the deed to the mine! How did it end up in your hands? Who is Phillip? Oh my god, you're really amazing. My dear Satan, you're really our savior…"
Aurelia was so excited that she couldn't help but smack Ye Tian's lips, her face turning red when she saw Caesar standing beside her.
"Satan, you're really my good child. Kesha is really lucky to have a husband like you!”
Aurelia hurriedly explained, patting Ye Tian's shoulder, her heart bursting with joy.
"Philip, a slave trader, a good friend of mine! To be honest, we have to thank him properly this time! Therefore, I promised him that I would give him 15% of the mine!”
Ye Tian calmly explained, but inwardly he was pleased with himself.
"Fifteen percent? Not much! However, how did this title deed end up in his hands? In fact, he was the owner of the mine on the title deed? After all, he was just a slave trader.”
asked Aurelia curiously.
"Hehe…he said he bought it from a young man who had just come of age. At first, it was just a mine that was considered to have no minerals. In the end, hehe…"
Ye Tian laughed coldly, his voice tinged with mockery.
Marconia must have wanted to scam Philip, but he didn't expect that he would really sell a treasure vault at a low price.
Perhaps in history, Sura had relied on this mine to suppress Marius.
Thus, Ye Tian's appearance might change history.
"As for him being a peddler, it doesn't affect me much. On the contrary, sometimes, I feel that it's beneficial to interact more with commoners and citizens!”
Ye Tian explained.
"What do you plan to do?"
Aurelia nodded and turned to Ye Tian.
"It's obviously not easy for us to take over this mine. After all, Sura is a huge family and has many alliances! "Therefore, I plan to let the Qina Family, the Marius Family, and even your O'Reilly Family participate. The four families will stand up for Philip. No matter how thick-skinned Sura is, he will have to give up on this mine!”
Ye Tian explained his decision.
" Indeed, if the four families stand up, Sura can only avoid them. However, if we do that, our benefits will be greatly reduced…"
Aurelia said regretfully.
"Don't only care about the small profits in front of you. As far as I know, the alliance between the two of you is only maintained by the bond of marriage! It's not very reliable. Now that we have an additional layer of allies in terms of interests, our relationship will be even more reliable! At that time, anyone who wanted to obtain a share of the mine would have to sign a secret alliance agreement to advance and retreat together!”
Ye Tian's eyes flashed. The initiative was now in his hands, and he could join the Four Great Clans and make them his strong supporters.
This cake was a bit big, and Ye Tian didn't believe they wouldn't be tempted.
