"I heard that the Germanic peoples of the European part have been established one after another" Liu Yan was just wearing a cotton robe, half-lying on a soft sofa, chewing olives in his mouth.
The Han people are now far away, and the olives, which should have been introduced in modern times, have been advanced by more than 1,600 years.
Naturally, they did not come with fresh olives, but were actually soaked in some liquid, pickled and brought to the Han Empire by the Romans.
Liu Yan's current location is in the pavilion where Helena is located, and when he came over, he happened to see Helena and Helena eating olives together, and the other Han people didn't know what it was, how could he not know what it was.
The Romans had a deep affection for olives, and they were eaten in a variety of ways, and were generally soaked in fruit wine as a flavoring.
However, the Romans used olives more in oil extraction, including edible oil, health oil, and even burning oil.
Liu Yan ate an olive pickled in honey water, I don't know how long it was soaked, it tasted sweet and greasy, and it didn't fit his taste very well.
Helena has been living in the palace for more than a month, I can't say whether she has adapted to the new life, in general, except for a new environment, a man who occasionally comes to sleep with her own man, and the food she eats has changed from bread to Han food, other aspects are not much different from when she was in Rome.
There is no difference here, referring to Helena's still homely nature.
The pavilion is a self-contained living space on the third floor, with a separate bedroom, hall, dining room and open-air balcony with some flowers and plants.
Naturally, there are also rooms for female officials and palace ladies to rest, as well as storage rooms and utility rooms.
The total area should be about 400 square meters.
There are many similar pavilions in the harem, which are used to house the attendants of the corresponding rank.
The curtain was not opened, and Helena came out with two new jars.
She just found one thing from Liu Yan's subtle expression when eating olives, that is, Liu Yan didn't like the sweet and greasy one, and found the type of soaked fruit wine and salty.
Liu Yan came here only four times, twice in the middle of the night, once in the evening, and the other in the afternoon.
Except for the two times when he came to sleep with Helena, the other two times Liu Yan only stayed for less than five minutes before leaving, and I don't know if the words of conversation add up to a hundred Chinese characters.
Today, Liu Yan came over and saw a letter about the social assessment report, which listed some of the current situation in Rome.
The section on the social report of the Han Empire in the fold raises concerns about the estrangement of the new generation, and does not point out that the new generation of non-yellow-skinned people is not descendants of the Han Chinese, which is a reminder of the social problems that will be faced, assuming that when this group of newborns grows up, they will face discrimination between different skin colors and marriage problems.
In terms of discrimination, Liu Yan knows that it is impossible to avoid it, either because of yellow skin discrimination against other skin colors, or because of the discrimination caused by different wealth holdings, but when it comes to discrimination between ethnic groups, we have to pay attention to it, because too many countries have perished due to domestic ethnic contradictions.
Liu Yan didn't see Sang Yu's question on how to solve the problems that would arise due to different skin colors, which was equivalent to just raising troubles and not having a solution, maybe he hadn't thought of it yet, and it was more likely that he thought about it but couldn't say it or didn't dare to say it.
"If I am not mistaken, Daqin has a considerable number of Germanic slaves" Liu Yan looked at the palace maid tasting two different flavors of olives one by one, that is a necessary step, but it is not who gives anything to eat: "Daqin is a country with far more slaves than its own population, what kind of method is used to ensure social stability" Helena wanted to answer just now, but she had never paid attention to the relevant aspects, so she couldn't answer at all.
"Your Majesty, as long as Rome remains strong, slaves will always be slaves."
Helena waited for the end of the tasting, picked out the olives in the jar one by one with tongs, put them on the plate, and stood next to Liu Yan: "As long as we don't make mistakes, the slaves will not dare to rebel, and even if they rebel, they can be easily suppressed." ” "Oh" Liu Yan motioned to Helena to feed herself an olive, took one in her mouth, and felt good about the salty olive: "So, are there many slave riots?"
Helena replied honestly: "Small-scale rebellions are common, but they will have little effect on Rome.
There were not many big riots. ” Since the founding of Rome, the number of slaves has always been greater than that of its own population.
At one stage of Rome, the number of slaves was thirty times that of its own population, which was equivalent to one Roman corresponding to thirty slaves.
For a long time, there were not many crises in Rome because of slaves, and the most famous one was an uprising led by a Thracian named Spartacus.
"I've heard of him."
Liu Yan is talking about Spartacus, not only have I heard from the Persians, but I have actually watched an American drama about Spartacus: "I heard that he was originally an auxiliary soldier of the Great Qin Legion, and had a conflict with a Roman tribune, and after returning to his hometown, the village was attacked by the Syrians, he himself was captured as a slave, and his wife was also taken captive."
Helena, the "Auxiliary Protector", smiled a little fancy, did not dare to directly refute Liu Yan's face, and said euphemistically: "The status of the auxiliaries of the Roman legion is very low.
The power of the tribune in Rome was very great. ” In other words, Spartacus is equivalent to a servant soldier of the Han Empire, and may be inferior to the servant soldier of the Han Empire.
Then, the tribune of Rome was equivalent to a general at the level of the Han Empire's "Zheng".
A servant soldier, a general, the identities of the two are fundamentally different, not to mention whether there is a possibility of conflict, if there is any conflict, the general will not be much more difficult to kill a servant soldier than to pinch a chicken to death.
"In the Han Empire, I believe that a general would not have any worries about executing a servant soldier at all" Helena helped Liu Yan feed another olive soaked in fruit wine: "In Rome, there is no need for any conflict, even if the tribune feels offended by a glance by the auxiliaries, and the auxiliaries can be killed with a single word." ” Liu Yan smiled.
He is still very aware of some things, whether it is the Persian statement or the plot of that part, it is obviously not a fact, the difference is that the Persians will slander and ridicule the Romans, and the American drama is artistically processed.
"If it is a soldier of their own country, the Han Empire and Rome will give justice, but you also know that because of the difference in status, justice can only be relative."
What Helena said was the truth, she found that Liu Yan was interested in the affairs of Spartacus, and there was no reason not to say it: "Spartacus is a Thracian, he" A piece of history recorded by the Romans was slowly presented to Liu Yan as Helena narrated.
Rome expanded to the Thracian border, and the Roman general Cress, who led the army, conscripted troops to Thrace according to Roman tradition, and the village where Spartacus was located was the sequence of conscription, but the person who recruited Spartacus was the tribal leader of Thrace, and it was not the Romans who ran over to recruit the army themselves.
"Rome is the guardian of order in that land."
Helena finished speaking as a matter of course, and flattered: "It's like Your Majesty is the guardian of this continent." ” Liu Yan smiled but did not speak.
He was only the guardian of the Han people, and the conqueror of the other peoples.
As the boss of that region, it was an ancient and long tradition for the Romans to gather their younger brothers to be cannon fodder, and it was true that Thrace relied on the protection of Rome to not be destroyed by the Visigoths.
Spartacus was indeed brave and good at fighting during his time as a Roman auxiliary, not only established prestige among the Thracians, but even the Romans admired him, and he slowly climbed higher and higher in the auxiliary system.
"You know, many tribes are full of ignorance, and tribal leaders must not allow anyone to be more prestigious than themselves."

Helena told a cruel truth: "Gadosi, he is the chief of the Thracians in the place where Spartacus is.
He had an operation against Spartacus" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and he could almost guess what happened next, but he still didn't guess all right.
"In fact, it was Kress who saved Spartacus's life, or Gadosi would have wanted to kill Spartacus."
Helena sighed at this point before continuing: "This is how Kress became the harlequin of that history. ” Spartacus was not killed by his own leader, but was sold to Rome to become a gladiator, and after training went to the arena, several victories made him famous.
The Romans did not record much of what Spartacus had accomplished in the arena, but there was a mention of an arena about asking for rain, and Spartacus' victory really succeeded in asking for heavy rain.
If it doesn't rain, it doesn't mean that you can ask for it, and a coincidence not only made Spartacus famous, but his owner also gave him enough treatment.
The Romans do not record why Spartacus killed his master, only the fact that he became a criminal and a fugitive.
According to some Roman records, after Spartacus killed his master, he went into hiding like a wandering murderer, and the initial definition was not a riot or an uprising, but a murderer.
In fact, Spartacus united dozens of gladiators to kill their masters, and some of the dignitaries who participated in the manor banquets also died in the gladiator outburst, but in any way they were only murderers of foreign countries, and they had nothing to do with the uprising for the time being.
No matter which country it is, the first reaction to a murderer is definitely not to send an army to encircle and suppress him, but to let the local garrison force arrest him.
The people of Spartacus who had been wandering, probably did not have the lofty ideal of overthrowing Roman rule or anything, and acted like a group of criminals who broke the law and wanted to hide and live, and they were really going to starve to death before they started again against a remote manor.
They had previously found that they were robbing ordinary Romans to fill their stomachs, and they did not dare to do anything to the wealthy Romans, mainly because the wealthy Romans usually had family arms.
In the case of a successful ransack of the manor, a group of people who finally had enough to eat again, did not want to starve anymore, thought that it was better to die in battle than to starve to death, and began to choose a remote manor again to do it, and after many times, it finally attracted the attention of the local garrison of Rome, and after being surrounded and suppressed, they began to hide in Tibet again.
That revolt really began to attract the attention of the Romans, it was Spartacus who led the people to liberate a large mine, and the number of men and horses under his command exceeded 10,000, so the group he led could be regarded as a threat to the Romans, otherwise the Romans only regarded them as a group of ordinary fugitives.
"Because the matter is so big, what Kress did was turned over by the Senate."
Helena saw that Liu Yan listened very carefully, and naturally spoke seriously: "Kress was ordered to lead the army to the province of Capua to suppress the rebellion, but he failed, and he was doomed to not be able to take off the identity of the harlequin. ” Liu Yan is still clear about this.
According to the Persian narrative and the plot of the American drama, it was Crassus and Pompey who successfully suppressed the slave revolt, and they also dispatched the family army instead of the Roman legions.
"Since Daqin has learned a painful lesson, why hasn't it been countermeasured" Liu Yan listened to Helena's story, Spartacus's uprising spread to the entire Italian peninsula, and even Rome was in danger for a time: "Or what measures" "Yes."
Helena had completely ignored Helena's existence, and she sat down beside Liu Yan: "We no longer have a large number of weapons in the mines and arenas, and slaves and gladiators always wear shackles when they rest. ” Liu Yan was very dissatisfied with this answer, it was just a preventive measure, or a very unreliable measure, and there was no constructive or fundamental solution.
"We can't live without slaves."
Helena seemed to be inadvertent, her buttocks kept rubbing Liu Yan's body, and her expression and tone became soft: "Without slaves, the Romans will even have difficulties in living. ” Liu Yan stretched out his hand very easily, grasped the plump position, and held it without delaying his speech: "So the Germans turned over, they established so many countries, but you were indifferent" "We have a civil war."
Helena was extremely surprised that Liu Yan was willing to move herself, but she chose to stand up and walked over to pour a glass of water for Liu Yan: "Rome has become weak because of the civil war, and it doesn't have enough energy and strength to suppress the Germans. ” "My minister has listened to some hearsay, and has a great desire to understand the management of slaves in Great Qin."
Liu Yan can touch it if he can touch it, and if he can't touch it, he simply won't touch it: "It seems that it is necessary for him to have a deeper understanding." ” Helena was a little surprised that Liu Yan didn't show any nostalgia, but she knew her hips and feel very well, and began to regret why she wanted to play just now
