Vol 2 Chapter 1375: Roman citizens
The world in the book is real and wonderful. Although Cai He is not a qualified storyteller, he can always record the most critical parts.
They stayed on the British island for a few days, exchanged some fur and met a Roman slave, and finally set sail into the Mediterranean.
The situation in the Mediterranean is described here: less wind is steady, and the speed is getting faster.
The mysterious trip to Rome finally opened.
Readers can't wait to open the pages of the book.
Rome is not the strongest in the Mediterranean, but it is the country with the most potential. It is a democratic slave society.
At the beginning of the book, Cai He's impression of Rome is relatively simple: passion, ease, and enjoyment. Between the lines, Cai He still has a good impression of Rome.
Of course, the days in Rome are not short, and Cai He ’s impression of Rome is constantly changing.
The prosperity of the Roman city is supported by countless slaves behind it.
Slaves are slaves again.
Since the discovery of the New World, the word slave has been accompanied by the whole story of the great voyage. Readers don't understand, whether civilization is primitive or advanced, why are they all slaves? Although Daqin still has a population sale, it is secretly carried out. The law prohibits the population sale, and the slaves have slowly withdrawn from the stage during the Zhou Dynasty. can not imagine.
Then I saw that there are no emperors and kings in Rome. They have governors in each city, and these governors are decided by the Senate and the Civic Council.
Such a novel system made Qin people inexplicable.
The ministers thought: how can one "scramble the pot" without a person who is in charge?
The nobles thought: How can they be divided without a king?
The civilians thought: there is no emperor? Isn't this abnormal? Isn't there a Mingjun there?
Each class has different ideas, and the book records the Roman political system.
After the debate in the Senate, Cai He devoted himself to the study of the Roman political system, and finally found that the Roman society included two kinds of people. The lowest level is naturally slaves, and then there are free people.
Among free citizens, there are citizens and civilians.
Citizen refers to a person who has Roman nationality. This is a very important identity, because with this identity Rome will not ignore the citizens, even if the citizens have no talents and virtue, they will raise the citizens. Of course, if a citizen is poor but talented, he may become the governor, executive officer, or even noble, just like the lottery.
The words of civilians refer to free citizens without citizenship, who cannot enjoy the rights of citizens or participate in civic conferences, and are naturally not promoted.
In fact, citizens are equivalent to the privileged class. Only citizens who have citizenship have the right to vote and inherit, and citizens are protected first.
Since citizenship is so good, how can we get citizenship?
First of all, of course, living in the city of Rome for generations, the city is the upper class and the inferior people outside the city, it's that simple. Of course, there is military service. If you do n’t die after 25 years, you will be a citizen. That ’s right for 25 years.
Of course, in the future, there will be emperors in Rome, so the emperor also has the right to grant citizenship. In the future, all the free people in Rome will become citizens. However, when the citizens are flooded, the rights of citizens will naturally be diluted, and the citizens will be less It's wonderful.
There is also a way of speculation and trickery, that is, you find a Roman citizen, and then let him take you as his slave, and after a while let him release you, you will immediately become a citizen, but you are only a third-class citizen, It is not possible to get all the rights of citizens immediately or.
This is the same as going to Hong Kong and the United States to give birth to a child, so that the child can get a local identity.
There are other ways, such as spending money to buy a citizenship, provided you have enough money. If you are really so rich, you are as happy elsewhere, and you do n’t have to ask for citizenship, unless you are really a rare citizen of Rome.
There is also the possibility of exposing corruption. As long as you grasp the evidence of official corruption, you can also become a citizen. But ordinary people may be difficult to follow this path. If they are not afraid of being killed, they can still try.
Earlier I said that citizens also have ranks. The first class is of course Roman citizens, the second class is Latin citizens, and the third class is third-class citizens who opportunistically acquire citizen rights.
The customs of Latin citizens are exactly the same as those of the Romans, but because they were not born in the city of Rome, they cannot participate in elections or inherit the property of Roman citizens. Of course, they cannot fall in love with female Roman citizens.
Only Roman citizens can marry Roman citizens. Of course, male Roman citizens can also marry other girls. It's that wayward.
However, becoming a citizen naturally entails certain obligations, not to say participating in politics, because most citizens are ignorant and shortsighted. Citizens can speak loudly but if they do not become officials or parliamentarians, they cannot affect the political situation. Become a citizen. If you join the army, you cannot surrender. If you surrender, you will immediately lose your citizenship. Unless you are escaping from the enemy, if the enemy releases you, you will lose your civil rights.
At the same time, citizens also lose the right to be “shameless”. If you are exposed to ***, have relationships with young women, get involved in the entertainment industry, frame others, and so on, although you are still a citizen, you will not be able to get married and have children. Even work is not guaranteed.
So being a citizen can be, but not shameless, because shameless is guilty and the crime is ‘shameless’.
Cai He is obviously a very in-depth investigation, presenting the entire Roman society to everyone, a country with a highly divided social class.
Then there was the introduction of Roman slaves. Compared with the magnificent Roman citizens, slaves were less glorious. Without any rights, even the most basic life and property are not protected, so the profession of "Gladiator" will appear.
Not to mention freedom, even life is just a tool to please citizens ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The days of slaves are miserable, Cai He describes: the sound of shackles in the countryside overshadows the chickens and dogs.
Those slaves who had been arrested worked entirely in shackles, but they were real slaves. I am afraid that readers living in Qin State can only make an analogy with hard work. When they are sent to the battle, they are afraid to run away, and they are usually tied to bamboo with ropes.
However, it is unimaginable to wear shackles to work in the farmland, at least not in the farmland of Qin State.
Finally, Cai He wrote at the end: As many slaves as there are enemies in Rome. It is even more deaf.
"There is such a country, which is unheard of," the giant said, couldn't help but say that it was too far away from the Mojia's policy of loving both non-attack and attacking. It was horrifying to only use citizens as slaves and use them as inhuman labor.
Others are not very comfortable. This kind of country is really too evil. It is strange that there must be an emperor.
But more readers are still only attracted by the rights of citizens, and ignore the slaves. It seems that they must be citizens rather than slaves when they go to Rome.
