Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 19 CorpusJurisCivilis

All the students of St. Paul's College in the seats were whispering, but under the candlelight, Gawain calmly opened the book carefully. Its cover was made of fine leather and gold edges, and the paper was all first-class. A piece of calfskin makes a sweet and solemn swishing sound when turned by fingers, " This is the best gift I can give you to accompany you, but it is also common to the entire Grand Fortress and the entire country of Tarsus. It is not personal to any one person, nor even to me Gawain - it is your Caesar. It took half a year to compile the "Encyclopedia of State Law" authorized by the ancient Emperor Justinian."

Many students were stunned when they heard this name.

The Corpus Juris Civilis is the treasure of the entire Roman Empire and even the entire human race from ancient times to the present. "The cause we create with our swords may not last forever, but it will never be erased." - It consists of four It consists of three parts, which symbolizes the previous ancient law "Digesta", the new law (relative to the time of Justinian) "Codex", the interpretation of "Ladders of Law" Institutions and the additional "New Constitutional Supplement" Novellae.

In the long-term political and military chaos, it slowly disappeared into obscurity, covered in dust and lost its original sanctity, but now Anna has spent great efforts to restore it to perfection.

"It actually consists of two parts, public law, which is the law of the government, and private law, which is the law of nature, the law of peoples and the law of citizens. After that, I will abolish and ban all evil laws and customary laws in Tarsus, such as the divine judgment in the monastery and the The teachings of the Ulama of the Mosque, as well as some tribal case law with a Slavic and Saxon flavor, only allow you to implement laws based on the "Collection of National Laws". Six people will be individually selected from among them. During the administration of Pisidia and Atalia, the implementation effects and reactions of the code will be tracked in detail. Then, after the term is over, you will come back to me and I will appoint you. The Imperial Secretary of the Court of Justice will formulate more new and appropriate legal provisions for our country's commercial, civil, criminal, and religious evolution." Gao Wen finished. He closed his eyes and closed the book, then paused for a while, stretched his fingers forward, avoiding the goblet filled with cheese juice, and replaced it with a stained glass cup filled with red wine. He also stood up, with a sincere look and tone, and said to all the college students present who were about to take up their new posts, "From now on, you will be my wings and minions, acquired with swords on the battlefield. The land and achievements cannot yet rest easy. Only what you maintain with laws and disciplines will last forever. Pisidia is a very important 'experimental field'. You will be responsible for various affairs such as administration, taxation, and construction there, and learn valuable lessons. Caesar and I are paying close attention to your hard work and harvest over there, so - I wish you success!"

After saying that, Gawain, who never drank in public, drank the bright red wine in his glass.

"For the real Romana!" More than 60 college students were also very heroic and moved, and they all raised their glasses.

After the simple but grand farewell banquet, Gawain, who was obviously blushing in the palace, laughed and wore a crimson gold round-necked tunic with the hem pinned up and soft boots on his legs. He raised his arms and clapped his hands - in front of him were Masud Arslan, who had begun to grow taller, and Kaleadios, who was as tall as a newborn calf. Four pillars surrounded by gauze form a complete space. Gawain stands on one side, and Masud and Kaleadios stand on the other side.

"Ah!" Masud rushed forward. He used the ancient Bulgarian wrestling method and grabbed Gawain's belt in an attempt to pull the patron down. However, Gawain only gave him a slight push and Masud fell to the ground. . Although the strong Kaleadios was only two weeks old, he was already standing in the corner, shouting in clear words "Awesome, perfect" and "What's wrong with you Masud, are you wilting?" He didn't know these market people. Who did he learn from the athletic party-like language? Anyway, Hertomia was determined not to take the blame.

Anna, who was sitting next to her, shook her head slightly, then she smiled, lowered her head and continued reading while holding the book.

"How do you get along with your stepfather Branas? Did you learn your wrestling from him?"

"Yes, father said that every Roman man should learn swordsmanship, riding, archery and wrestling." Masud could hardly see any trace of the Turkic prince on his body now. When he was easily dismissed by Gawain who laughed, After turning over, he stubbornly got up and continued his attack while answering.

"In ten years, you can lead the palace's young army for me."

"Of course, I want to be the same hero as you."

At this moment, Hertomia walked in and claimed that the businessman Bill Leoni wanted to see her.

Billioni now stays here all the time and actively promotes trade relations between the city of Pisa and the country of Tarsus. He is also hired as a financial advisor. After he walked in and paid tribute to Caesar and the great patron. The imperial ink officer took all the children away, and then Bill Leoni took out a gold coin from his robe.

Gawain squinted his eyes and took it. It was a Byzantine gold coin that looked very ordinary at first glance. It was also engraved with the portraits of previous emperors. But he soon discovered that there was a small small figure in the inconspicuous corner of the gold coin. Banhen sneered and handed it to Anna's hand, "Look, the box of one thousand gold coins we donated to Mr. Gerald of the Holy City Hospital has returned."

Anna also looked at it a few times, laughed as well, bit her nails with her mouth, and then asked Bill Leoni, "Isn't this coming back in pieces?"

"No, one-tenth of the gold coins in the money box at that time were marked with this special mark, and then all the gold coins were returned to the Jewish land deed exchange in Italy, and they handed it over to us very wisely. The Patriarch "His Royal Highness Caesar, I can only say that the other party probably returned it to the original cash box after counting it, without even bothering to go through the normal procedures," Billioni said.

"That's natural. When a greedy patriarch regards all donations to the Holy City as his own, he will of course despise and trample all credit and justice in this world. Then, this money is Sam Bell Your Excellency used it for..." When Anna asked this question, Billioni bowed hurriedly, then approached the couple and told the purpose of the gold coins.

"Big barbarian, we have found the flag to punish traitors." Anna leaned back in her seat, her voice a little excited, "But we promised Baldwin and Sister Gottschild, let's not talk about it for now. We will have to wait until we support them to go to the Saint. It is not too late to become the king of Jerusalem and then use it as a weapon.”

Gawain also turned his back and said with great ambition, "Yes, Bill Leoni, you will immediately act as an envoy to inform Baldwin and Bohemond that the established plan will not be affected in any way. In this winter, food, weapons and The horses are stored up. When the next spring comes after the rainy season, we will march on Jerusalem and crush all those who stand in our way."
