Publi uz was oppressed during the rule of Sura's rival Marius, because he was politically inclined to Sura, a faction with great influence in the Senate. After the death of Marius, the powerful consul Lucius cornelius Sinatra continued to oppress Sura and imposed dictatorship in Rome. Qin Na's behavior made young crassus flee to Sura's stronghold in Africa, and finally returned to Rome with Sura. Public disasters are crassus's greatest source of personal wealth. Crassus noticed that there were many houses in Rome, which were easy to catch fire, so he organized a fire brigade, which was very rare at that time. Once the house caught fire, he bought the burning house and its adjacent houses at a very low price when the owner was frightened, and then began to put out the fire. In this way, crassus acquired thousands of houses and residences, and then rented them at high prices.
In order to get a villa of the Virgin in a temple, he was so entangled with her that he was suspected of having an affair with the Virgin. In addition, there are many silver mines and a large number of slaves with clear division of labor in crassus. He personally directed the education of slaves. He often said that the master should let the slaves do everything, and what the master should do is to take care of the slaves.
It is said that crassus was fascinated by Aristotle's theory and always accompanied by a scholar when traveling abroad. Scholars get a cloak every time they travel, but they take it back when they come back. For this scholar, "it is hard to say whether he was poorer before he became a teacher-student relationship with crassus or later". Miserable crassus is extremely generous and kind in buying people's hearts: he often lends money to his friends without interest (but when the loan term comes, he will relentlessly collect debts); He often entertains ordinary people at home; In the street, no matter how humble the other person is, he can call out the other person's name as long as someone greets him (it is said that this was a cheap way to please the people at that time). Crassus, known as the "Big Three" with Pompeii and Caesar, never confused ambition with hostility. When Caesar was captured by pirates in Asia in his early years, he said, "crassus, how happy you should be to hear that I was captured." However, crassus can recognize heroes, and even after Caesar had an affair with his wife, he paid Caesar to be elected. Before Caesar left for Spain to become a manager, the creditors came to detain his luggage, and it was crassus who guaranteed Caesar's huge debt.
In short, "he is not a loyal and firm friend, nor is he an enemy with intractable grievances." Once his vital interests are involved, he can get rid of personal grievances without hesitation. " Crassus, whose political views are changeable, is more like a businessman. He is good at buying everything of value, especially people's hearts. From the Senate to the bottom, he has countless debtors and supporters.
Crassus's most brilliant "achievement" was to defeat and kill Spartacus and annihilate more than 10,000 insurgents in times of crisis. In the war, in order to rectify the military discipline, he resumed the old method of punishing deserters: he divided 500 deserters into 50 groups, selected one person from each group by lot, and then executed them.
Crassus was later killed in the east. His head was cut off by the enemy and his mouth was full of molten gold. After the second consul's term ended, crassus was appointed as the governor of Syrian provinces. Based in Syria, he launched an attack on Rome's old enemy, the Rest Empire. Crassus suffered a complete defeat, and he himself was killed in the Battle of Calais.
Crassus's death broke the alliance between Caesar and Pompeii. Four years after his death, Caesar led his troops across the Rubicon River and began a civil war against Pompeii and the legitimate government of the Republic of China.
