The World of Deities Chapter 138: Su Ye’s opinion
"We are very interested." Kelton said.
Su Ye thought for a while, and said: "First of all, the current class distribution in Athens is very uneven. It can be said that there are only two layers, nobles and commoners. As for slaves, I also want to say a lot, but in addition to debt slaves, foreigners Slaves are not in the scope of discussion. In other words, only the nobles actually hold power. This leads to the fact that magicians and warriors who continue to grow with their own efforts, even if they reach the golden level, do not have much power and rights."
"With the frequent occurrence of wars, these middle and low-level magicians and warriors have become the main forces influencing Athens, and these people have accumulated enough wealth through war, plunder, hunting, exploration, etc. However, we found that, The contribution of the nobles to the war and to the city-states is getting lower and lower. Under the circumstances, the middle and low-level people will inevitably accumulate considerable grievances and strong demands. If the needs of these people cannot be met , Athens will inevitably be in chaos. Even if it is as strong as aristocrats, it will inevitably compromise. They cannot kill the commoners and leave a pure aristocratic world."
Everyone nodded gently.
"Secondly, the city-state is different from the country. Our Athens is very big, but after all, it is a city-state. We are all people living in the same city. Persia is different. Persia is an empire, and their cities are like grains of wheat. Sprinkled on the ground, endless, the destruction of any city will not affect the overall situation, so the upper class does not care about the people of the lower class. The city of Athens is different, even if a block is destroyed, it will shake every Athenian."
"This kind of city-state is not a slave. It is destined to make the citizens of Athens think that the gap in the relationship between people is not particularly large. It will not be like Persia, where the people worship the Persian king as a god. And the city-state and state are still There are various differences, such as population, such as disaster resistance, etc., which force the upper class to ignore the interests of civilians."
Fast praised: "This angle is very unique and insightful!"
Kelton and Nide nodded repeatedly.
"The third point is about culture and living conditions. Even if it is a demigod family, there is no permanent dominance..."
Su Ye said five points one after another, while also hiding some radical views.
"That mysterious organization didn't invite you, it was their mistake." Fast sighed.
"Then, how do you think Solon will reform." Naidel.
Su Ye is very cautious. Although Blue Star’s Solon’s reforms are well-known, it’s impossible for Solon here to use the same reform methods.
Blue Star’s Solon reforms in ancient Greece restored the once-existing citizens’ assembly, then created a four-hundred-member assembly, a civil jury, changed the law, and established a new class.
Before Solon, ancient Greece divided classes based on ancestry. After the reform, classes were divided based on possessions. According to the annual income, they were divided into five hundred buckets of wheat, knights, yokes, and daily servants.
Obviously, Athens in this world pays more attention to power than wealth.
Su Yedao: "Unsurprisingly, Solon will break the secondary class of nobility and common people, and add new classes, either one or two. For example, between common people and nobles, create a'knight class'. ', let these people have powers similar to those of the nobles. Or, restore the once-appearing citizen assembly, so that some citizens of Athens are also eligible to participate in the political affairs of Athens. I feel that in order to win support, Solon will abolish debt slaves. After all, dignified It was cruel that the citizens of Athens were forced to become slaves because they owed money. However, Solon probably didn't have the energy to manage those foreign slaves."
"Your thoughts are a bit surprising." Kelton said.
"It's hard to say," Nedell said.
Fast sighed and said: "I really want to take you directly into the army and train you with the strength of the army. Unfortunately, I can't delay you. Plato Academy is your best growth. Land."
"General, do you completely believe Su Ye's nonsense?" Kelton asked in surprise.
Fast said sternly: "Don’t underestimate this young man. Because, not long ago, General Miteaade also said that Athens needs a new middle class, and Athens may also resume the citizens’ assembly. I even said that debt slavery should also be abolished. I only thought that he had felt it, but today I understood what he should have seen and expressed his opinion. The two people almost coincided."
"I'm sorry, General, I made a mistake." Kelton didn't dare to talk back to Fast, because Fast hated to make mistakes and irrational words.
Fast's expression became pleasant. He patted Su Ye on the shoulder and said, "I will tell General Mitaiard about today's affairs. He will definitely like you very much. Unfortunately, your rank is too high. Low, grow up quickly, Athens needs you!"
Kelton suddenly discovered that the salad for dinner today seemed to have put too much lemon juice, and he was sour from his stomach to his mouth.
He had never seen General Fast praise someone like this, and he was still so young.
"General, you passed the award. But one thing you said is correct. I am still too young and need to continue to accumulate strength." Su Ye said.
When we arrived near the mountain gate, the carriage entered the street next to it, found a place to stop, a few people got off the car, and walked to the municipal square.
At this time, the Plaza Mayor is already crowded with thousands of Athenian citizens, and the number is increasing.
On the municipal square and nearby roads, there are many magicians who are constantly releasing their suspended brilliance, making this place look like daylight~IndoMTL.com~Su Ye even saw many civilians rushing here in tears.
With the continuous flow of people, Su Ye and others finally arrived at the Municipal Plaza.
In the deepest part of the Municipal Square, on a makeshift wooden platform, an elderly man in a white robe stood there.
The old man only has a golden collar on his neck and no megaphone with a magic mustache, but every word he says can spread throughout the city.
Su Ye looked at the man from a distance, recalling the information about Solon on the road before, and found that Solon’s actual age was only 40 or 50 years old, but he looked close to 60 years old.
Perhaps Solon’s appearance is very vicissitudes, and when he said those words, it made people more convincing.
Solon is thinner than imagined. His eye sockets are slightly inverted, and his yellowish-brown skin is a little loose. He is not tall and mighty, but his voice is full of power and his eyes are full of passion.
Solon’s eyes seemed to reflect the light of all of Greece.
Perhaps, it was his eyes that illuminated the whole of Greece.
At this time, Solon began to announce some of his political views.
"I think that Athens’s greatest unfairness, greatest evil, and greatest darkness are denial of effort! A person who spends his life's efforts to become a golden magician or golden warrior, but still may be a dog by a nobleman Treat it the same! How absurd this is!"
"These warriors and magicians fought with Persians and warcrafts. Their bones were scattered all over Greece, and the nobles? Sitting at home and enjoying the services of slaves, and those slaves are likely to be killed in battle. Family! What an injustice is this!"
"I think Athens needs a new class, a class that recognizes hard work, a fair class, a new class that nobles can't trample on!"
