Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 3: Maxims and Comus

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Because Hades is not only the protector of the Kingdom of Dionia, but also the protector of slaves. If he wants to restore his freedom as soon as possible, he needs its blessing, and the long time has gradually wiped out the hatred in their hearts. Instead, he began to have a slight affection for King Dionia, who had defeated them, not only because he was a descendant of Hades, but the life of the public under his rule was indeed better than that of the city and race they used to be. 'S slaves are much better, so most of the cheers are from the sincerity

"Thanks also to the chief of our camp, Akalus!" the middle-aged chef reminded loudly.

This time the cheers were obviously much smaller, but it was still possible for Akalus, the head of the Turri slave camp, who had just entered the kitchen to check the improvement of breakfast, heard clearly.

A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he turned around and asked his entourage: "What's the name of this chef?"

"My lord, his name is Isnikas. He is from Asia Minor. He used to work as a slave for four years in the Christoya restaurant in the outer city of Turíy. Later he was freed and became a prospective citizen. I have been a chef here for more than two years..." The entourage who was speaking was an archivist at the slave camp, and he certainly cherished this. The reason why Icarus brought him when inspecting the cafeteria is because if he discovered during the inspection that the cooks in the cafeteria did not perform his requirements well, then the most severe punishment for them is to record them on their files. For a sum, this will have a greater impact on their smooth conversion to full-time citizens or their gaining freedom in the future.

But at this moment, Akalus said in a deep voice: "Well, I know how to preach the kindness of your majesty. He did a very good job. Give him a note."

What he said at this time is obviously a good evaluation. The recorder who is also preparing for citizenship looked at the middle-aged chef in the distance with some envy, and whispered: "Yes, My lord."

The main reason why many free citizens and prospective citizens choose to take up low-paying low-level public posts or even hired workers in city halls or departments is that they are easy to obtain merits and become citizens of the kingdom as soon as possible.

Departments like slave camps are not as beautiful as other administrative departments, and their highest rank is the junior administrative position. There are not many official officials under their jurisdiction. Even the army guarding slaves and patrolling the camps also takes turns from nearby military camps. Dispatched from here, not under the jurisdiction of the slave camp. But because of this, the low-level public posts and hired workers in the slave camps are more likely to be valued and easier to perform meritorious services. There are many applicants. Unfortunately, the camps often prefer to recruit people from emancipated slaves.

Regardless of an order from Daves that made Akalus, the head of the slave camp, nervous and busy, the slaves sat in the cafeteria happily eating a much richer breakfast than usual.

The former Roman nobleman and now the slave of the Kingdom of Dionian, Comus Fabius Verbranus, sat in the corner quietly chewing bread and drinking broth.

He is not as fortunate as the Roman soldiers who surrendered due to the plague in Satnikum. He was taken prisoner when the Roman army rescued Gaby, even though he was like Publius, a veteran from Rome. Several times in the Dionian Senate, it was proposed that “the Roman soldiers captured in the entire Western Mediterranean War should also be free”, but this proposal has not been passed. These Roman noble soldiers became slaves of the kingdom in the first place. They fought several times, but after being mercilessly suppressed, they had to accept the cruel reality, and became numb and obedient under the long and heavy manual labor and whip education, just like Kang Miu, who was born in a Roman clan. Si was eating breakfast with joy like the other slaves.

At this moment, someone sat down beside him.

He raised his head and gave a glare, and then said with joy: "Maximus, are you getting better?!"

Masimus was also a former Roman nobleman, but he was not captured in battle, but when he broke down in Rome, trying to take his family to escape to Mount Capitoline, he was captured when he was single. Conmuse is different. His family are all kingdom slaves. Therefore, they do not live in collective slave dormitories. Instead, they are allocated separate simple wooden houses. However, in this way, he has to pay extra housing costs, and the burden is more than that of Kang. Muse is heavy.

"I saw the doctor and took the medicine for two days, and it's healed." Maximus said.

Public officials are the wealth of the kingdom, and most of them are engaged in heavy physical labor, and the diet is not as good as ordinary people. It is very common to get sick and injured. Therefore, there is a special hospital in the camp, which is rotated by the Turiyi Hospital. Doctors are sent on duty to ensure the health of the slaves. Although the money is low and the livelihood is heavy, the intern doctors often rush to come because they can contact a large number of patients.

Comuses listened and said happily: "That's great! You have been absent these few days, and the foreman has made random arrangements for the work that our team wants to do. Everyone is not doing it well, and we all look forward to you as soon as possible. Healed!"

Maxims was surprised, and asked in a low voice: "You guys are not messing around?!"

"Where do we dare to mess around, at most we just complain." Comus muttered.

"No complaints! Have you forgotten what happened to Brutus and the others! Besides, you have been doing pretty well before. When the big project is completed this time, we will definitely get more rewards and strive to start next year’s celebration. At the beginning, we were able to get free quotas year after year, so don't arouse the envy of the foremen because of the momentary refreshment of the map, it will ruin our previous efforts!" Massimus warned with a serious expression.

The "Lesson of Brutus and others" he mentioned refers to the two riots caused by the Romans in the slave camp of Turii in the past few years. After that, the elder Dionian proposed: Roman slaves Disobedient and troubled, Turri is the center of the kingdom. In order to avoid any accidents and undermine Turri’s stability, Roman slaves should be moved out of Turri’s slave camp and moved away from Turri. In slave camps in other towns in Iraq.

Due to the strong obstruction of Publius, it was finally not passed completely, leaving a small number of Roman slaves who did not participate in the riots and were relatively safe in peace. Publius sent people to the camp and warned again and again. Roman slaves left behind: Among all the slave camps in the Kingdom of Dionian, Turri’s camp is the place where the best treatment and the easiest to perform meritorious service (because Turri is the center of the kingdom, the supervision is very strong, and the camp management personnel Generally do not dare to mess around. For example, slave camps in some remote areas are much worse. For example, in Sardinia, there are slaves who die in the mines every month. You can imagine the harsh conditions). To gain freedom in good health, it is best to stay safe here!

"We are really doing a good job these days! Every day we lay a few more stones than other teams!" Comus swears and swears while watching the foreman patrolling the cafeteria. , And whispered bitterly: "If he dares to underreport our team's performance, I will go to the police officer!"

The number of slaves in the slave camp in Turyi was as high as tens of thousands at the time, and now there are nearly 10,000. In order to better manage and comfort them, and to supervise the officials in the camp, there are also private security officers in the camp. After the riots in the camp a few years ago, the number of guardians was increased, mostly by Dionian citizens who were born as slaves.

"Don't say more, hurry up to finish your meal and work in the mountains!" Massimus reminded.

Not long after he finished speaking, he heard the foremen urging loudly.

The two gobbled up their breakfast, and even picked up the crumbs that had fallen on the table to eat. If they hadn't done it a few years ago, the difficult environment had changed them.

When they hurried out of the canteen, a large number of slaves hurried in lined up. The schedule was so tight that the thousands of slaves in the camp could finish breakfast in a short time and get to work in time.

The last group of people who went to the canteen was always female slaves and children. The number of them was not many, less than a thousand. After all, the kingdom slaves were different from private slaves. Most of them were engaged in heavy manual labor, and the main needs were men. Slaves, but in the Western Mediterranean War a few years ago, Dionia caught many captives with their families, most of them were Romans, Latins, and Phoenicians.

According to the regulations on slaves in the Dionian Law, the inhumane slave family is not allowed to be forcibly broken up and sold separately. Moreover, Dionia did not prohibit the union of male and female slaves belonging to the kingdom, because slaves with families were naturally more secure and motivated, which was conducive to the stability of slave camps.

Of course, these female slaves had to work regardless of whether they had a family or not. They worked as kitchen helpers, sewed slaves’ clothes, assisted in buying food, served as salespersons in shops in slave camps, and were even sent out to serve as temporary hires, etc. Wait...

Because there are many men and few women in the camp, in order to prevent them from being harassed and violated, the Slave Law has strict regulations on this. Whether it is a male slave, or a camp official or employee, offenders must be severely punished, so this The abominable behavior of Turiyi is almost extinct in the camp, which also allows male slaves with families to stay with their families and go out to work with peace of mind.

In the center of the slave camp is a simple square. This tamped and level grass is not only used to gather slaves and announce some announcements, but it is also a place for slaves to exercise and compete during their leisure time.

On the side of the square are several large black wooden boards, on which are written in white pen some announcements about slaves, and some are "employment needed" messages issued by the camp. As public officials, their usual work is mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of public projects, such as temples, bridges, roads..., and the excavation of public mines.
