Chapter 159
Tuckervan is a Roman.
He loved parades and worshiped Alexander.
Therefore, when he became an adult, he planned to walk along the Alexander's Eastern Expedition route.
Rome was still in the Republic era at this time.
Takwen was born into an aristocratic family and was influenced by ancient Greek culture since childhood. Slavehold democratic politics and the idea of civic equality had a profound influence on him.
Therefore, he participated in the reform action by Tiberius Gracu, hesitated that the land of soldiers and bankrupt peasants who had been killed in the war of foreign conquest for many years were annexed by the nobles. The huge wealth and slaves brought by the invasion replaced the previous small peasant economy, resulting in many poor people having no jobs to do.
Becoming refugees, they cannot support themselves, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and class contradictions are becoming increasingly acute.
Eight years ago, with Tiberius becoming a civilian protection officer, a reform plan centered on land began.
Although the bill infringes on his interests.
But Takwen is very supportive. As soon as the bill was promoted, it received support from the majority of civilians, but it destroyed the interests of large land owners. So they used various means to prevent the implementation of the bill.
To ensure the bill advancement.
Tiberius violated the rules and proposed to be re-elected as the next civil servant. However, at the election conference, the nobles sent people to disrupt the venue, resulting in the election being forced to disband.
The next day, Tiberius and his supporters occupied the meeting place of the citizen meeting. When the nobles saw that it was nothing. They instigated a large number of rogues and scoundrels to attack the venue with armed forces. In the end, Tiberius and his supporters all died and their bodies were thrown to the Dibert River.
Not only that, he also became accused of being criticized.
[The more I write, the more I feel it feels similar to the plot of a certain country!]
Takwen was a nobleman... and escaped after the elders at home. However, he had to escape from his home, and he happened to start his childhood dream.
There were lively sounds outside.
Tucker frowned, then felt comfortable, probably playing cards again.
Tuckwen is not surprised by this scene. Such a card is very wonderful. It is made of thin bamboo slices, and the brand says numbers that are said to be from the Great Empire of the East.
That's a number he's never seen before.
From 0 to 10.
Cards are divided into four types: moon, sun, square, and heart shape. The rules are very simple, that is, pairing, four people draw cards with each other. Of course, sometimes five people can do it, without restrictions.
Among them is also mixed with a portrait of a short black figure, and people call him a little ghost.
Sometimes Tuckwen not only maliciously thought that the portrait in the card was similar to the little black man from the south of Rome that he had seen. When he came here, he heard that there were people like this who were poisonous.
Therefore, he also habitually called them little ghosts.
In the end, whoever takes the little devil will show that he will lose.
Tucker also learned that there are other ways to play cards, not only such cards.
There is another card similar to the little ghost that can be replaced.
There was a red-haired and blue-eyed monster with scary white skin on it. For this, he believed that the person who created this deck must have known the knowledge in Rome.
There are such people in the north of Rome.
Often they are all slaves.
The card of this red-haired monster is called the Big Ghost.
There is another card that may be used sometimes.
It is called a god card, with a black hair, fair skin, and a portrait of a handsome character.
Well, it is in line with his understanding of "expensive cards".
That should be it.
After all, he has black hair and may not have very white skin, but the two have something in common.
He supports civilians, but sometimes he also prides himself on being a nobleman. Maybe this is the entanglement of human beings.
"Hey, Romans."
A rough man shouted through the window, and Tucker raised his head, this was his acquaintance in Lanyecheng. He smiled kindly and got up. The rough man had arrived, and the two of them talked through the window.
The rough man took out a piece of sheepskin and handed it over.
"This is the language revised in the latest issue. There are almost twenty words, each word has a tone and you can simulate pronunciation based on Greek pronunciation..."
Tuckerwen was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Didn't it be that it's not easy to get it? I only sent 200 copies in total. Where did you get it?"
The rough man smiled.
"I borrowed a copy from a person, and then found a painting person and asked him to copy it intact. According to the original price, a piece of sheepskin with words will sell about three gold coins. However, more than a dozen sheepskins can only sell one gold coins. Now I have written all the more than a dozen sheepskins, and I have already earned almost twenty gold coins."
“I used to be busy for a year and didn’t have that much money.”
"I still have a lot of coins in my place, and I believe I can still sell a lot of gold coins..."
The rough man also said happily.
Pirates are indispensable everywhere.
In order to vigorously promote culture, Daxia Academy regularly publishes some sheepskin, and the words are written on the sheepskin. Each time the number is not too much, one or two hundred at a low time, and three or four hundred at a high time, but every time it comes out, it will be sold out quickly.
After all, only by learning these well can you become an official.
In the past, I wanted to do well, but I could only rely on force and my life experience. Some time ago, Daxia Academy issued an announcement and decided to take a big test.
In all the top 20 exams, you can become officials, regardless of their background or appearance, and only speak according to their grades.
That is to say, even a slave.
As long as you learn the Great Yuezhi essay well and know a lot, you can become an official.
Takwen also specifically asked whether foreigners could become officials.
Back: Yes, as long as you have the will.
It's just to attract all the talents in the world.
Tuckerwen also wants to give it a try, what if it succeeds.
I heard that everyone is valued very much.
【Slaves are not human】
Takwen: "Does the government care?"
The rough man patted his chest and said, "They don't care. Last time I sold it to a Dayuezhi man. He is a small official. I heard that he is very willing to see this happen..."
Tuckerwen was relieved.
"There is another thing. I heard that the Great Yuezhi people are going to relax their hometown restrictions."
Tucker's eyes lit up.
The rough man hesitated: "I learned from a business friend. In the past, Lanyecheng's business operations have many restrictions on foreign merchants. However, I heard that it may be relaxed this time, but the condition may be to pass the language level test held by Daxia Academy."
"I don't know, wait a little longer."
The rough man shook his head. He also heard that he had no basis for hearing, but he had no worries.
He is an indigenous person.
Before Anuti came, he was a low-class person. After he came, his status has risen a lot.
He is a steadfast supporter of Anuti.
