People began to get restless, and the originally quiet sides of the road were now like boiling water. Of course, due to the deterrent power of the Yulin Army, no one really stepped forward, but they were already ready to make a move.
King Telika tried to retreat, but the Yulin army stood two hundred steps away, their armor shining like a heavy iron wall, not allowing anyone to do anything to regret.
"Read it!"
Yu Lin, the leader, began to read out some manuscripts.
In the crowd, Atum, Finnis, even Abram and Lot, they are all here.
According to Yu Zai's request, they watched this "life release event" here.
On this day, when Tianfang City released King Telika, it announced that slavery was completely abolished in Tianfang City. Although this is something that everyone knows, after all, at the beginning, the workers and slaves were aiming for this. Some of them fled to Tianfang City to work.
But now, taking this as a law and regulation and not abiding by any hidden rules in Sumer can be said to be extremely domineering, pioneering and fearless.
Slaves are not allowed in the city. This means that as long as the slave merchants' slaves can escape to Tianfang City and complete certain registrations, even if the slave merchants come to look for them, they will be forcefully rejected. This will inevitably affect the surrounding city-states' views on Attitudes of Slaves and Laborers.
The king's envoys also fell silent on this, but they thought further, because if the slave merchants could not get fair treatment in heaven, they would turn around and dump the goods into their city-states. This was actually harmful to them. It is beneficial for the city-state to develop, but it is not beneficial for Tianfang.
"And losing slaves and labor means losing a lot of... well, a lot of free labor, and the cost of doing something will rise dramatically."
"I know that the King of the East once gave a lecture in Lagash, and said that properly releasing some slaves to become free people is conducive to social stability. I bought their third-hand course before, and after careful study, I think it is Correct, but it should not be abolished completely, and it is impossible.”
"How can the social system of the East be so casually applied to this land?"
The king's messengers were whispering.
But it seems that this article is a response to the tyranny of King Telliga, and there must be more below.
But the announcement that continued to come made them feel even more incredible and overwhelmed.
Slaves and laborers are also part of the citizens of the city-state, and have equal political and social status like normal citizens. We must truly realize that it is this group of people who created the great city-state and great civilization.
The decree read out actually does not mean much.
But what matters is the emergence of new “ideas.”
Among the crowd, Fennis had vaguely understood something. She read many books, one of which recorded the Cangwu War in the East. At that time, all the slaves resisted and destroyed the Cangwu people who enslaved them. The noble imperial daughter Ze was also overthrown. The people of the three tribes in Ganxi and Pang changed from being slaves to human beings. For the first time, they had the courage to raise their heads and gaze at the sky.
The emergence of new ideas, no matter whether the old social system is willing to accept them or not, once they appear, they can gather a large number of people. This is by no means a small number, but the most inconspicuous and important cornerstone of the entire society. .
For the East, their slavery was not complete, so the social system developed loosely, and finally it was centralized and all slavery systems were abandoned, because their research concluded that slaves mastering backward production tools would actually It hinders the progress of society, so it is abolished for the sake of social progress!
And what about Egypt?
What about a vast dynasty of slavery?
The voices of the Second Temple's speech gradually echoed in her mind from afar, and she suddenly shuddered, as if she had seen the collapse of the pyramid before her eyes!
The most indispensable thing in Egypt is slaves. As Atum said, the civilization of Egypt has never been the civilization of the people, but the civilization of the nobles and gods. This has been the case since ancient times and has never changed!
And what if, it changes?
When the people of Egypt thought about creating their own civilization for the first time, instead of becoming a foil to the nobles and gods.
Even if the pyramid is not afraid of time, it will definitely be smashed to pieces by these slaves holding backward stones and using their fists of flesh and blood!
The people around them, who had been in a huge and restless scene before, as if a volcano was about to erupt at the next moment, gradually became quiet as the Habayashi Army read out various laws and rules, but they were not suppressed. , but spontaneously quiet, they want to listen, listen to all the truths that are beneficial to themselves and have never been known since ancient times!
What is fairness?
The nobles eat a bowl of rice, and you also eat a bowl of rice. This is fair. But the noble can not eat this bowl of rice, he can eat meat, but he still gets a bowl of rice, and you only have this bowl of rice, you eat this bowl of rice, but you still starve to death, this is still fair , because both sides got a bowl of rice.
What is justice?
If the noble does not eat this bowl of rice, he can eat meat, so he will not be given this bowl of rice. If you eat a bowl of rice, you will still die. Now there is an extra bowl of rice for you, and you can survive. This is justice!
Fairness does not mean justice!
Therefore, when the various laws and regulations of Tianfang City came down, the laws themselves were not shocking at all, but they were just unacceptable to the nobles.
Just let the slaves and laborers who join the city-state be equal to citizens and have rights and dignity. Their children also do not belong to the slave status. They need to work by themselves and earn money by working, rather than relying on the charity or control of their masters. Give them the right to freedom in life and be protected by Tianfang City.
What was given to them was, in fact, just one sentence.
You can pursue your own interests!
Even though the generation of this benefit currently comes from the decree of the powerful and does not come out spontaneously, at least it has appeared and can serve as the spiritual sustenance of more people.
People cheered, as if the invisible shackles had really left their bodies completely. No matter what happened elsewhere, at least in this city, as long as they successfully registered locally, they were citizens of the city-state.
King Telika's fear was drowned in the shouts around him. He tried to leave at this time, but was grabbed by someone. Countless hands pressed him to the ground, and then with a wailing sound, he punched him one after another. After being beaten down, he turned into meat paste in the sea of people.
"Have you ever seen a bug being eaten by ants?"
"A dike of a thousand miles will be destroyed by an anthill. No matter how strong the pyramid is, it will be destroyed by a small force. As long as the force is spread large enough, the coverage is wide enough, and the time is stretched out long enough."
"The vast grassland is destroyed by a small fire. A single spark can start a prairie fire."
"This power is enough to break steel, move mountains, and fill the East China Sea."
Fennis knew that he had seen the "things" that the teacher wanted him to see seriously, so it was time to return to his hometown.
.......
Behind the distant Zagros Mountains, in the vast land of Bactria, the eastern caravan appeared here.
The loud sound of the gryphons resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
