Chapter 935

"It is said that the Germanic people in Europe have been founded one after another?"

Liu Yan was just wearing a cotton robe, half lying on the soft sofa, chewing olives in his mouth.

The footprints of the Han people are now far away. Olives, which should have been introduced only in modern times, have been advanced by more than 1600 years.

Nature did not come with fresh olives. In fact, it was soaked in some liquid and pickled. It was brought to the Han Empire by the Romans.

Liu Yan is now in the pavilion where Helena is placed. After coming over, he happened to see Helena eating olives with Helena. Other Han people don't know what it is. How can he not know what it is.

The Romans had deep feelings for olives and had a variety of eating methods. They were generally soaked in fruit wine as a seasoning.

However, the Romans made more use of Olives, including edible oil, health oil and even burning oil.

What Liu Yan eats is an olive marinated in honey water. I don't know how long it has been soaked. It tastes so sweet that it doesn't suit his taste very much.

Helena has been in the palace for more than a month. It's hard to say whether she has adapted to the new life. Generally speaking, except for a new environment, there is a man who occasionally comes to sleep with her own man, and the food she eats is changed from bread to Chinese food. In other aspects, it's not very different from that in Rome.

There is no difference here. It means that Helena is still very curtily.

The pavilion is on the third floor. It is an independent home space, with independent bedrooms, halls, dining rooms and open-air balconies. Some flowers and plants will be planted on the balcony. Naturally, there are also rooms for female officials and palace maids to rest, as well as storage rooms and sundry rooms. The total area should be about 400 square meters.

There are many similar pavilions in the harem, which are used to accommodate the servants of the corresponding grade.

The curtain was pulled open and Helena came out with two new jars. She just found one thing from the subtle expression of Liu Yan eating olives, that is, Liu Yan didn't like the one from sweet to greasy, and found the type of soaked fruit wine and salty.

Liu Yan came here only four times, two in the middle of the night, one in the evening and the other in the afternoon.

In addition to the two times when she came to sleep with Helena, the other two times Liu Yan left in less than five minutes. I don't know if there are as many as 100 Chinese characters.

Today, Liu Yan came to the meeting and saw a memorial. It was written about the social assessment report. Later, he listed some current situations in Rome.

The part of the memorial about the social report of the Han Empire raised concerns about the estrangement of the new generation. It did not point out that the new generation of non yellow skin is not the descendant of the Han people. It is a reminder of the social problems to be faced. Suppose that after waiting for this group of newborns to grow up, they will face discrimination between different skin colors and marriage.

Liu Yan knows that discrimination is unavoidable. Either yellow skin discriminates against other skin colors, or discrimination due to different wealth holdings. However, when it comes to ethnic discrimination, we have to pay attention to it, because too many countries perish in domestic ethnic contradictions.

Liu Yan didn't see sang Yu's question about how to solve the problems caused by different skin colors, which is tantamount to just asking for trouble without a solution. He may not have thought of it, and he may have thought of it and can't say it or dare not say it.

"If I'm right, there are a considerable number of Germanic slaves in Daqin?" Liu Yan's eyes are watching the palace maids taste two different flavors of Olives one by one. That's a necessary step, but it's not who gives something or eats it: "Daqin is a country with far more slaves than its own population. What methods are used to ensure social stability?"

Helena just wanted to answer, but she never paid attention to the relevant aspects and couldn't answer at all.

"Your Majesty, as long as Rome remains strong, slaves will always be slaves." Helena waited for the end of the trial, picked out the olives in the jar one by one with pliers, put them on the plate, and stood next to Liu Yan: "as long as we don't make mistakes, slaves don't dare to rebel, even if rebellion can be easily suppressed."

"Oh..." Liu Yan gestured to Helena to feed herself olives, including one. She felt good about the salty Olives: "so, are there many riots among slaves?"

Helena replied honestly, "small-scale rebellion is common, but it will have no impact on Rome. There are few large riots."

Since the founding of Rome, the number of slaves has always been more than its own population.

In Rome at a certain stage, the number of slaves was 30 times that of its own population, which was equal to one Roman corresponding to 30 slaves.

In such a long period of time, there were not many crises in Rome due to slaves. One of the more famous was the uprising led by a Thracian called Spartacus.

"I've heard of him." Liu Yan is talking about Spartacus. He not only listened to the Persians, but also saw an American drama about Spartacus: "it is said that he was originally an auxiliary soldier of the Daqin army and clashed with a Civil Guard in Rome. After returning to his hometown, the village was attacked by Syrians, he was captured as a slave, and his wife was taken away?"

"Auxiliary soldier? Civilian protection officer?" Helena smiled a little flashy and dared not directly refute Liu Yan's face. She euphemistically said: "the auxiliary status of the Roman Legion is very low. The protector has great power in Rome."

In other words, Spartacus is equivalent to a servant of the Han Empire, and may be inferior to the servant of the Han Empire.

Then, the civil protection officials in Rome were equivalent to the generals at the level of "Zheng" in the Han Empire.

The identities of a servant and a general are fundamentally different, regardless of the possibility of conflict. If there is any conflict, it will not be much more difficult for the general to kill a servant than to crush a chicken.

"In the Han Empire, I believe a general would not have any concern about executing a servant soldier?" Helena helped Liu Yan to feed another olive soaked in fruit wine: "in Rome, there is no need for any conflict, even if the Civil Guards feel offended by the auxiliary soldiers, they can kill the auxiliary soldiers in a word."

Liu Yan smiled. He is still very clear about some things, whether it is the Persian statement or the plot of that film, it is obviously not a fact. The difference is that the Persians will slander and laugh at the Romans, while American dramas are processed through art.

"If you are a soldier of your own country, both the Han Empire and Rome will give justice, but you also know that justice can only be relative because of the identity gap." Helena was telling the truth. She found that Liu Yan was interested in Spartacus, and there was no reason not to say: "Spartacus is a Thracian, he..."

A history recorded by the Romans was slowly presented to Liu Yan with Helena's narration.

Rome expanded to the Thrace border, and the Roman general Kress, who led the army, conscripted from Thrace according to the Roman tradition. The village where Spartacus was located was the sequence of conscription, but the people who conscripted Spartacus were the tribal leaders of Thrace, not the Romans who ran over to conscription.

"Rome is the guardian of that land." Helena finished naturally and flattered, "it's like your majesty is the guardian of this continent."

Liu Yan smiled without saying anything. He is only the guardian of the Han people and the conqueror of other nationalities.

As the boss of that area, it is an ancient and long tradition for the Romans to call their younger brothers as cannon fodder. At the same time, Thrace did not be destroyed by the Visigoths because of the protection of Rome.

Spartacus was indeed brave and good at fighting during his time as a Roman auxiliary. He not only established prestige among the Thracians, but also appreciated by the Romans. He slowly climbed higher and higher in the auxiliary system.

"You know, many tribes are always full of ignorance. For tribal leaders, no one is allowed to have higher prestige than themselves." Helena said a cruel fact: "gadosi, he is the Thracian leader where Spartacus is located. He has taken action against Spartacus..."

Liu Yan was a little stunned. He could almost guess what happened next, but he still didn't guess right.

"In fact, it was Chris who saved Spartacus's life. Otherwise, gadosi wanted to kill Spartacus." Helena sighed and then went on: "because of this, Chris has become the clown of that period of history."

Spartacus was not killed by his leader. He was sold to Rome to become a gladiator. After training, he went to the arena. Several victories made him famous.

The Romans did not have too many records of Spartacus' achievements in the arena. Instead, they mentioned a competitive performance about praying for rain, and Spartacus's victory really brought heavy rain.

Whether it rains or not is not a matter of asking. A coincidence not only made Spartacus famous, but also his master gave him enough treatment.

The Romans did not record why Spartacus killed his master, but only the fact that he became a criminal and fugitive.

According to some Roman records, Spartacus hid like a fugitive murderer after killing his master. At the beginning, it was defined as a murderer rather than a riot or uprising.

In fact, Spartacus United dozens of gladiators to kill his master, and some dignitaries who participated in the manor banquet also died in the outbreak of gladiators. However, no matter from which aspect, it is only a group of poor and ferocious murderers, which has nothing to do with the uprising for the time being.

No matter which country, the first reaction to murderers is definitely not to send troops to encircle and suppress them, but to let local police forces catch them.

Spartacus, who had been on the run, probably did not hold the lofty ideal of overthrowing Roman rule. They acted as a group of criminals who broke the law and wanted to hide and live. They really had to starve to death before they started again against a remote manor.

Before that, they found that they robbed ordinary Romans to fill their stomachs, and did not dare to fight rich Romans. The main reason is that rich Romans usually have family arms.

A successful example of looting a manor was a group of people who had enough to eat. They didn't want to starve any more. They thought it better to die in war than to starve. They began to choose remote manors again and again. More times, they finally attracted the attention of the local garrison in Rome. They were besieged and suppressed and began to live in hiding again.

That uprising really began to attract the attention of the Romans. Spartacus led people to liberate a large mine, and the number of people under his command exceeded 10000. Therefore, the group he led made the Romans feel threatened. Otherwise, the Romans just thought they were a group of ordinary fugitives.

"Because things were so big, what Kress did was turned over by the Senate." When Helena saw that Liu Yan listened very carefully, she naturally spoke seriously: "cress was ordered to lead the army to suppress the rebellion in gab ADB Province, but he failed and was doomed to be unable to remove the identity of a clown."

Liu Yan is still clear about this.

According to the story of Persians and the plot of American dramas, it was klassus and Pompeii who successfully suppressed the slave riots. Similarly, they sent out the family private army rather than the Roman Legion.

"Since Daqin has learned a painful lesson, why didn't it take targeted measures?" Liu Yan listened to Helena's story. The uprising of Spartak fought the whole Italian peninsula, and even Rome was in danger: "or what measures?"

"Yes." Helena has completely ignored Helena's existence, and people have become to sit on Liu Yan's side: "we no longer reserve a large number of weapons in the mines and arenas, and slaves and gladiators are always shackled when they work and rest."

Liu Yan is very dissatisfied with this answer. Is it just a preventive measure or a very unreliable measure? There is no constructive or fundamental solution.

"We can't live without slaves." Helena seemed to be inadvertently rubbing her hips against Liu Yan's body, and her expression and tone became soft: "without slaves, the Romans would have difficulties in daily life."

Liu Yan easily reached out and grasped the plump position without delaying his speech: "so the Germans turned over and they established so many countries, but you were indifferent?"

"We had a civil war." Helena was extremely surprised that Liu Yan was willing to move herself, but she chose to stand up and went over to pour a glass of water for Liu Yan: "Rome became weak because of the civil war and didn't have enough energy and strength to suppress the Germanic people."

"My minister heard some hearsay that he had a desire to understand the slave management of Daqin." Liu Yan touched it when he could touch it, and simply did not touch it when he could not touch it: "it seems that it is necessary for him to have a deeper understanding."

Helena was a little surprised that Liu Yan didn't show any nostalgia, but she knew her hip shape and feel, and began to regret why she wanted to play catch just now.
