Sweep the World

"I heard that the Germanic people in Europe have successively established a country?"

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

The footsteps of the Han people are now very far, and the olive, which should have been introduced in modern times, was advanced more than one thousand six hundred years.

Naturally, they didn't come with fresh olives, but they were soaked in some liquid and marinated and brought to the Han Empire by the Romans.

Liu Yan is now in the pavilion where Helena is housed. After coming over, He just happened to see Helena eating olives with Helena. The other Han people didn't know what it was, how could he not know what it was.

The Romans had a deep feeling for olives, and they had a variety of ways to eat them. They were usually steeped in fruit wine as a flavoring agent.

However, the Romans used olives more for oil extraction, including edible oil, health oil, and even burning oil.

Liu Yan ate an olive marinated in honey. I don't know how long it was soaked. It tasted too sweet and not very suitable for his taste.

Helena has been in the palace for more than a month. It is hard to say whether she has adapted to the new life. In general, apart from changing to a new environment, there is a man who occasionally comes to sleep with her, and the food she eats changes from bread. It has become a Han food, and other aspects are not much different from when it was in Rome.

There is no difference here, referring to Helena is still very homely.

The pavilion is on the third floor and is an independent home space. It has a separate bedroom, hall, dining room and open-air balcony. The balcony will also plant some flowers and plants. Naturally, there are rooms for female officials and court ladies to rest, as well as storage rooms and utility rooms. The total area should be about 400 square meters.

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

Without opening the tent, Helena came out holding two new jars. Just now, she discovered one thing from Liu Yan's subtle expression on eating olives, that is, Liu Yan didn't like the sweet to greasy one, and found a type of soaked fruit wine and salty flavor.

Liu Yan came here four times in total. Two times he came here in the middle of the night, one was a stroll in the evening, and the other was in the afternoon.

Except for the two times when I came to sleep with Helena, the other two times Liu Yan left after less than five minutes. The total number of words in conversation was not known if there were as many as 100 Chinese characters.

Today, Liu Yan came here and saw a memorial, which was about the social assessment report and listed some of the current situation in Rome.

The section on the social report of the Han Empire in the memorial raised concerns about the gap between the new generation. It did not point out that the non-yellow-skinned new generation was not of Han descent. It was a reminder of the upcoming social problems. After graduation, I will face discrimination between different skin colors and marriage issues.

Discrimination, Liu Yan knows that it is impossible to avoid it. It is either yellow skin that discriminates against other skin colors, or discrimination due to different wealth holdings, but when it comes to discrimination between ethnic groups, it has to be taken seriously, probably because there are too many. The country's destruction is due to domestic conflicts between ethnic groups.

Liu Yan didn't see Sang Yu's explanation of how to solve the problems that would arise from different skin colors. It was tantamount to just asking troubles without a solution. Maybe he hadn't thought of it yet, and it was even more likely that he could not say or dare not say that he had thought about it.

"I'm not wrong, Daqin has a considerable number of German slaves?" Liu Yan watched the maid tasting two different flavors of olives one by one. That was a necessary step, but it wasn't someone who gave something to eat: "Daqin is one of them. In a country where slaves are far more populous than their own, what methods are used to ensure social stability?"

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

"Your Majesty, as long as Rome is still strong, slaves will always be slaves." Helena waited for the end of the tasting. She picked out the olives in the jar with pliers one by one, placed them on the plate, and stood by Liu Yan. Side: "As long as we don't make mistakes, slaves dare not rebel. Even rebellions can be easily suppressed."

"Oh..." Liu Yan motioned to Helena to feed herself olives, and contained one, feeling good about the salty olives: "So, is there a lot of slave riots?"

Helena replied honestly: "Small rebellions are common, but they will not have any impact on Rome. Large riots are not frequent."

Since the establishment of Rome, until now, the number of slaves has always been larger than that of the country's population.

At a certain stage of Rome, the number of slaves was thirty times the population of the country, which is equivalent to one Roman corresponding to thirty slaves.

In such a long period of time, Rome did not have much crisis due to slavery. The more famous one was an uprising led by a Thracian named Spartacus.

"I've heard of him." Liu Yan was talking about Spartacus. Not only did he listen to the Persians, he actually watched an American drama about Spartacus: "I heard that he was originally from the Great Qin Army. An auxiliary soldier in clashed with a civic guard in Rome. After returning to his hometown, the village was attacked by Syrians. He himself was captured as a slave and his wife was also taken away?"

"Auxiliary soldiers? Civilian guards?" Helena smiled a little garishly, not daring to directly refute Liu Yan's face, and said tactfully: "The position of auxiliary soldiers of the Roman Legion is very low. Civilian guards are very powerful in Rome. "

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

Then, the guardians in Rome were equivalent to the generals of the Han Empire with the word "Zheng".

A servant soldier and a general. The identities of the two are fundamentally different. Regardless of whether there is a possibility of conflict, if there is any conflict, it is not much more difficult for a general to kill a servant than to squeeze a chicken. .

"In the Han Empire, I believe that a general who wants to execute a servant soldier will have no worries at all?" Helena helped Liu Yan feed another olive soaked in fruit wine: "In Rome, there is no need for anything. In a conflict, even if the civic officer feels that the auxiliary soldier is offended by a glance, he can kill the auxiliary soldier with a single sentence."

Liu Yan smiled. He is still very clear about some things. Whether it is the Persian's statement or the plot of that movie, it is obviously not true. The difference is that the Persian will slander and mock the Romans, while the American drama is artistically processed.

"If it is a soldier of the country, both the Han Empire and Rome will give justice, but you also know that because of the difference in status, justice can only be relative." Interested in things, there is no reason to say: "Spartacus is a Thracian, he..."

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

Rome expanded to the Thracian border, and the Roman general Kress led the army to conscript Thracian troops according to Roman tradition. The village where Spartacus was located was the order of conscription, but the conscripts of Spartacus The man was the chief of the Thracian tribe, and it was by no means the Romans who ran over to enlist.

"Rome is the order guardian of that piece of land." Helena finished speaking of course, flattering: "It's like your Majesty is the guardian of this continent."

Liu Yan smiled without saying a word. He is just the guardian of the Han people, and the conqueror of other ethnic groups.

As the leader of that area, it is an ancient and long tradition for the Romans to summon their younger brothers as cannon fodder. At the same time, Thrace did rely on the asylum of Rome so that it was not destroyed by the Visigoths.

Spartacus was indeed brave and good at fighting during his time as an auxiliary soldier in Rome. Not only did he establish prestige among the Thracians, even the Romans also admired him, so he slowly gained popularity in the establishment of an auxiliary soldier. Climb higher.

"You know, many tribes are always full of ignorance. As far as the tribe leader is concerned, no one can be allowed to have higher prestige than herself." Helena told a cruel fact: "Gadosi, he is Spartak. The Thracian leader where Spartacus is located. He has taken action against Spartacus..."

Liu Yanlue was taken aback for a moment, and he could almost guess what was going on next, but he still didn't guess everything right.

"In fact, Kress saved Spartacus's life, otherwise Gadosi wanted to kill Spartacus." Helena sighed at this point before continuing: " Kress became a harlequin of that period of history because of this."

Spartacus was not killed by his leader, but 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 much records of what Spartacus achieved in the arena field, but there was a mention of a competitive performance about praying for rain, and the success of Spartacus really brought heavy rain. .

It doesn't matter whether it rains or not. A coincidence not only made Spartacus famous, his master also gave enough treatment.

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

According to some records of the Romans, after Spartacus killed his master, he hid like a murderer on the run. The definition at the beginning was not a riot or an uprising, but a criminal.

In fact, it was the same. Spartacus and dozens of gladiators killed his master. Some of the nobles who participated in the banquet of the manor also died as a result of the gladiator outbreak, but no matter what, it was only a foreign country. The extremely vicious murderers have nothing to do with the uprising for the time being.

No matter which country it is, the first response to murderers is definitely not to send troops to encircle and suppress them, but to let the local security forces arrest them.

The people in Spartacus who have been on the move are probably not holding the lofty ideal of overthrowing Roman rule or something. They acted as a group of criminals who broke the law and wanted to hide to survive. They really wanted to starve to death. Started again with a remote manor.

Before, they discovered that they rob ordinary Romans to fill their stomachs, and they dare not do anything to the wealthy Romans. The wealthy Romans usually have family armed forces.

An example of a successful ransack of a manor was finally a group of people who had eaten their stomachs again. They did not want to go hungry anymore. They believed that death in battle was better than starvation. They began to pick out the remote manor again and again, and the number of times finally aroused the place of Rome. With the attention of the defensive forces, the siege and suppression began to hide in Tibet.

The uprising really began to attract the attention of the Romans. It was Spartacus who led the people to liberate a large mine, and the number of people under his command exceeded 10,000. This is why the group he led was regarded as a threat to the Romans. , Otherwise the Romans only regarded them as a group of ordinary fugitives.

"Because the matter is really too big, what Kress did was turned over by the Senate." Seeing Liu Yan listened very seriously, Helena naturally spoke seriously: "Kress was ordered to lead the army to go. The Gapaya Province suppressed the rebellion, but he failed, and he was doomed to be unable to remove the harlequin."

Liu Yan is still clear about this.

According to the Persian narration and the plot of the American drama, it was Crassus and Pompey who successfully suppressed the slave riot. The same thing was that they dispatched private family troops instead of Roman legions.

"Since Daqin has learned a bitter lesson, why didn't he take any measures?" Liu Yan listened to Helena's narration that the Spartak uprising moved to the entire Italian peninsula, and even Rome was once in danger: "Or What measures are there to say?"

"Yes." Helena has completely ignored the existence of Helena, and she has become sitting next to Liu Yan: "We no longer stock a lot of weapons in the mines and arenas. When slaves and gladiators work and rest. Shackled forever."

Liu Yan is very dissatisfied with this answer ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is just a preventive measure, it is still a very unreliable measure, there is no constructive or fundamental solution.

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

Liu Yan stretched out his hand very smoothly, grasping the plump position, without delaying his speech: "So the Germans have turned over. They have established so many countries, but you are indifferent?"

"We have a civil war." Helena was extremely surprised by Liu Yan's willingness to move herself, but she chose to stand up and walked over to pour a glass of water for Liu Yan: "Rome became weak due to the civil war and did not have enough energy and energy. The power goes to suppress the Germans."

"My minister listened to some hearsay that he knew a lot about Daqin's management of slaves." Liu Yan touched it when he touched it, and didn't touch it if he couldn't.

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