Of course, Rome also had a high or low status, but it did not set up a title system.
Rome without a title system is considered to be an aristocrat, with different rules from other countries. A member of the Senate is an aristocrat, the generals of the army are aristocrats, and rich people can be aristocrats.
Because the title did not become a system, whether or not an aristocrat in Rome depends entirely on strength, that is, whether there is money, how many private troops, and then how much prestige, which constitutes the basis for being recognized as an aristocrat.
Then it creates a very special phenomenon. At the last moment, a guy may be nothing. At the next moment, this guy did a sensational event. He won a reputation, dug a gold mine, hired a large number of warriors with gold, and had the basic conditions to become an aristocrat. What he lacked was recognition.
In the history of Rome, gladiators will turn into Augustus because Rome lacks a rigorous stratum system. The other is a kind of heroic complex of the Romans. As long as the reputation is enough, it has the foundation that everything is possible.
"We really need a ladder system of titles!" Julian said extremely seriously: "I found that the reason why the Han people can recover in a short time and the domestic people's livelihood is worrying is that they can sweep around the surrounding countries because their 20th class barons are driving!"
From the perspective of waiguoren, the Han Empire is a country with distinct classes. The higher the title, the better the treatment and welfare. Many things can't be done without a high enough title.
While attaching importance to titles, the Han Empire did not block the way for ordinary people to obtain titles. On the contrary, there were many ways to obtain titles.
For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly the best choice to go to the battlefield to establish military merit to obtain the title. They want to make profits, get the title reward, and the country wants to obtain land, population and resources, forming a perfect interaction.
"We have citizenship." Flavis thought about it and said, "maybe Augustus can suggest a more perfect title system on the basis of the civil system."
"The twenty barons of the Han Empire are ready-made." Julian was not embarrassed. He smiled and said, "just copy."
Flavis thinks more.
The twenty barons of the Han Empire are indeed ready-made, and there is no trouble in the application of the Han people, but can Rome really copy them completely?
"Every level of their titles has the same reward and social treatment." After a pause, fraveston continued: "for example, a gentleman can get a hundred acres of land and a servant, increasing land and related treatment on each floor. Rome... So much land is used for reward?"
Although the current territory of Rome is smaller than before, it is not small.
The key is that most of Rome's land is in private hands, the land held by the state is not too much, and the land held by the state seems not very good.
Julian obviously had relevant considerations for a long time and said: "there is no land, you can fight it down."
Flavis smiled and said no more.
Land annexation will happen in any country with farming habits. If any country is the most serious, there is no doubt that it happened in Rome.
Roman nobles like to build manors. Usually, the land occupation of a manor is "hectares" as the basic unit. In addition to the necessary rest places, a larger manor may occupy tens of thousands of hectares just as a hunting ground.
It's just a manor for fun, not like the manor built by the Han people. Except for fun, there must be land for farming. It's equivalent to the Roman manor with only input and no output.
"Don't you need to get a title when the title system is established?" Julian's opinion is that in addition to his official position, he does not recognize the previous default aristocratic status, but he dare not say it clearly. He will only discuss with Constantius II in private after returning. He smiled and said, "it seems that the present Roman citizens and the former Roman citizens are two kinds of people. They should have the power again."
The existence of Roman citizens has a very long history, almost accompanied by the ups and downs of the whole Rome.
The former Roman citizens attached great importance to honor and the pursuit of honor. The Roman citizens after Octavian evolved in the direction of slackers. They usually wait for relief if they don't do anything. They can hide when the army needs troops.
The Constantine family fell into civil war, which directly broke the rule that the Roman Legion only recruited citizens as regular soldiers. A large number of people who were not Roman citizens joined the army, and even "foreigners" who were not Roman began to pour into the army.
There is no way. The main reason is that most Roman citizens have become waste materials. If you want the army to have combat effectiveness, of course, you can't abide by the inappropriate rules. Naturally, you can let whoever is suitable become your own soldiers.
It was precisely the Constantine family that broke the rule that only Roman citizens could enter the Roman Legion and become regular soldiers. Some conservative nobles had a worse impression of the Constantine family, and Roman society also had a sense of exclusion from the Constantine family.
Waste will never admit that they are waste. They will only see that what originally belongs to them is occupied. Even if they are too waste to enjoy (bear) what should belong to them, they are not willing to be replaced. They will only hate the reformers, who dare to deprive them of what originally belongs to them.
Julian wondered whether Constantius II had found himself sitting not on the throne of Augustus, but in a crater that could erupt at any time.
Rome's complete imitation of the 20th Baron system of the Han Empire can inject a strong driving force into Rome, which is bound to usher in a new round of expansion.
For the Constantine family, expansion was incidental, and it was the most important thing for them to cultivate a large group of patrons.
What a simple truth, what kind of identity were those people before? Except that they rarely received rewards from the Constantine family, most of the rest didn't come from the Constantine family at all. It means that the Constantine family did not benefit the vast majority of people under their rule at all, and even encroached on their interests, which attracted their hostility.
Julian learned a lot from the Han Empire, including that the ruling family must give or benefit to the groups under its rule, otherwise the rule is not reliable at all, let alone stable.
"Will your highness stay in Beijiang?" Julian spoke to Liu Shen and asked in surprise, "in your capacity, can you stay in the frontier for a long time?"
Liu Shen knew early in the morning that he would stay in the military headquarters of junjishan. He had no aversion to this, and even was very happy.
Julian was surprised that he wondered how the emperor of Han could keep his first heir to the throne away from the center, and chose a war zone.
Any Roman dreams of settling down in Rome. People with some status think about crowding into all small circles of Rome day and night. The aristocracy who originally lived in Rome will not leave Rome if it is not a last resort.
Of course, now the political center of the Romans has been replaced by Constantinople, but there has been no change in thought, but Constantinople has replaced the attachment to Rome.
Not only the Romans, in fact, people in any country have the same persistence. Ordinary people think that it is a cow and long face to be able to live in the political center of the country. Ambitious people know that only being in the political center of the country can have more opportunities.
However, all Han people who have some ambition will choose to stay in Chang'an no matter how hard it is. They always insist on it with the hope that they will be appreciated by dignitaries and dignitaries one day.
In fact, there are too many dignitaries in the political center of the country, and there are more opportunities for people with political aspirations to seek recognition.
Kexiyas, who came to hear the news, showed a surprised expression and even a trace of fear when he knew that Liu Shen would stay in the captain's Department of junjishan.
Junji mountain is located in the northwest territory of the Han Empire. It is xigaoche to the northwest and Xiyu to the southwest.
Such a place, whether before or now, has a very important strategic position. Otherwise, the Han Empire would not specially set up a school captain department.
There were not many school lieutenants in the Han Empire. Each school Lieutenant existed in a very special way. It was not only of military value, but also of strong political status.
Because the current situation has changed again and again, the school captain Department has been abolished to only two, one is junjishan school captain department, and the other is Xing'anling school captain department in the northeast.
The original pingman military academy was abolished, and the Han Empire completely integrated the Indochina Peninsula and established the Annan protectorate. The person who took up the post of Duhu was Si Hongzhuang, the former colonel of pingman Colonel department, but now he has become Annan Duhu, that is, like a rocket, from the rank of Colonel to an important military minister who will have the same status as the lieutenant general.
At the same time, the occupied area of the A-San continent has also been planned, and the Tianzhu capital protectorate has been established, with Qian Jiantong as the first capital protectorate.
The name of the western regions capital guard was changed to Anxi capital guard, and Li Kuang was still the capital guard.
The rising sea (South China Sea) and the surrounding islands are uniformly divided into Nanyang capital protectorate, and Fu Wei is the protector of Nanyang capital.
In the 14th year of Yuanshuo, the Han Empire built three new capital protectors, plus Anxi capital protectors renamed from the capital protectors of the western regions, a total of four capital protectors were established.
This move of the Han Empire has attracted widespread attention, especially Persian Sassanian dare not ignore it at all.
"Is your junjishan school captain under the jurisdiction of anxidu escort?" Kexie Yas was brave enough to ask. After asking, he saw Liu Shen looking at himself with strange eyes and said with a smile: "curious, just curious, no other meaning."
Although junjishan Colonel's headquarters is located in northwest, it is an independent "war zone" which is not under Anxi capital's escort system.
"Did the Han Empire divide the capital protectors by regions?" Julian is not Persian, and he will not have much sense of urgency about the actions of the Han Empire: "so is there an Beidu protectorate in the northern Xinjiang and an antondu protectorate in the east?"
There are no anbeidu and antondu protectors.
The Han Empire directly set up counties on the grassland, that is, the scope of counties was much larger than the hinterland, which was unified and directly under the central government.
The grassland has been recovering animal husbandry. Because of the development of wool textile industry, the Han people no longer regard the grassland as chicken ribs. Even with the huge profits generated by wool textile, they don't know how many eyes are staring at the grassland and want to get rich.
In that place in the northeast, the Han Empire was building a grain production area, which must also be directly under the central government. It was because of this that the Xing'anling school captain department was established, and the selected location was also for Gongwei grain production area.
Whether the Romans or Persians, they have more or less understood the naming habits of the Han people. Those newly established protectors use "an", which is mainly consolidation.
If one day the anxidu protectorate becomes the shogunate of the west, the Persians should understand that the Han Empire began to expand to the West.
Kexiyas is now very eager to know whether there are any new changes in Anxi capital. For example, although the administrative level of the western region capital guard was high, the western region capital guard had only a regular establishment of the standing army. He wondered whether the Han Empire would increase its staffing after it was renamed anxidu protectorate.
Don't say Liu Shen doesn't know this. Even if he knows it, he won't tell kesias.
Of course, kexie Yas's IQ is still online. Even if he knows that Liu Shen is not old, he will not regard Liu Shen as a fool and ask Liu Shen about those things.
Countries, including the Persians, will soon know what they can know.
The Han Empire had a very detailed plan for the establishment of capital guards this time, and had their own arrangements for capital guards in different regions.
Like the Nanyang capital guard. The environment of this place is doomed that the army will not be the main force, and the fleet can assume the role of the main force, so it is to allocate the Navy as the main force.
As the protector of Nanyang capital, Fu Wei needs to continue to explore the ocean. His first task is to quickly find a continent called Australia by Liu Yan.
As the Persians feared, Anxi Du Fu was increased from one standing army to two. In particular, the center gave Du Fu Li Kuang the right to recruit soldiers in his jurisdiction in wartime.
For a long time to come, the two standing armies led by Li Kuang will not do nothing. They will continue to carry out military operations against hunit and will not stop exploring and investigating the West.
Li Kuang was clearly informed that the two standing armies of Anxi Du Fu would be rotated every two years in order to keep the standing army familiar with the war. He also knew that it was not only the Anxi capital guard, but also the standing army in all war zones, which was rotated every two years.
There are three standing armies in Tianzhu Prefecture, which is the largest of all Prefecture guards.
Qian Jiantong fought hard to become the capital guard of Tianzhu capital. All because he knew that among the several capital guards, only Tianzhu capital guard would maintain relatively "vitality".
