v9 Chapter 3： Massimus and Commus

Because Hades is not only the protector of the Kingdom of Dionia, but also the protector of slaves. If he wants to restore his liberty as soon as possible, he needs its blessing, and the long time gradually wears off the hatred in their hearts and begins There is a slight favor for King Dionysian who once defeated them, not only because he is a descendant of Hades, but also the lives of the slaves under his rule are indeed much better than their former city-state and ethnic slaves So most of this cheering comes from the heart

"Thank you also to the leader of our camp, Icarus!" The middle-aged chef reminded again.

The cheers this time are obviously much smaller, but still able to make the head of the Turui slave camp just entered the kitchen to check the improvement of the breakfast Icarus clearly.

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

"My lord, his name is Isinikas, from Asia Minor. He used to be a slave for four years in the Kristoa restaurant in the outer city of Turui, and later he became free, became a ready citizen, and was recruited to join us as a chef. It has been more than two years ... "The attendant who spoke was the archivist of the slave camp, which was naturally a treasure. The reason why Icarus had to bring him when inspecting the cafeteria was because if he found that the cafeteria chefs did not perform his request well, the severest punishment for them was to record in their files For one thing, this will have a big impact on their smooth transition to full citizenship or freedom in the future.

But at this moment, Icarus said in a deep voice: "Well, he knows how to promote His kindness, and he is doing very well, write a note for him."

The "record" he said at this time obviously meant good evaluation, and the recorder who was also a citizen of the preparation looked at the middle-aged chef in the distance with an envy, and whispered: "Yes, my lord."

One of the main reasons why many freelancers and prepared citizens choose to work in the city halls or departments of cities as low-level public officials or even hired workers with low pay is that they can easily obtain merits and become kingdom citizens at an early date.

Departments such as slave camps are less glorious than other administrative departments, and their highest ranks are junior administrative positions. There are not many official officials under their jurisdiction. Even the troops guarding slaves and patrol camps are sent from nearby military camps in turn. It is not under the jurisdiction of the slave camp. But because of this, the lower level of public office and hired workers in the slave camps are more likely to be valued, and it is easier to make contributions, and there are many applicants. Unfortunately, the camps often prefer to recruit people from the liberation of slaves.

Regardless of a Daves order that made the head of the slave camp, Icarus, nervous and busy, the slaves sat happily in the cafeteria and ate a richer breakfast.

Once a Roman noble, now slave of the Kingdom of Dionia, Camus Fabius Vibranus, sits quietly in the corner, chewing bread and drinking meat broth.

He was not as lucky as the Roman soldiers who had surrendered due to the plague at Santnikum. He was captured before the Roman army rescued Gabi City, although like the Roman veteran from Pubius, several times in The Senate of Dionia proposed that "Roman soldiers captured throughout the Western Mediterranean War should also be free", but this proposal has not been passed. The Roman noble soldiers became slaves of the kingdom at the beginning, and they also fought several times. But after suffering ruthless repression, they had to accept the cruel reality, and became numb and obedient after a long period of heavy physical labor and the education of a leather whip, just like Camus from the Roman clan at this time Eating breakfast with the same joy as other slaves.

At this moment, someone sat down beside him.

He glanced up, and then said joyfully: "Mathims, are you ill ?!"

Massimus was also a former Roman nobleman, but he was not captured during the battle, but was captured when the Roman city broke and attempted to bring his family to escape to Capitoline Hill. He and the single Camus Unlike his family, they are all kingdom slaves, so instead of living in collective slave dormitories, they are allocated separate shanties, but in this case, he will have to pay additional housing costs, which is heavier than Camus. .

"Seeing the doctor, taking the medicine for two days, it's all right," Massimus said.

The slaves are the wealth of the kingdom, and most of them are engaged in heavy physical labor, and the diet is not as good as the ordinary people. Illness and injury are common. Therefore, there is a special hospital in the camp. In order to ensure the physical health of the slaves, although the money is small and lively, the intern doctors often scramble to come because they can contact a large number of patients.

After listening, Camus said happily: "That's great! You are not here these days, and the foreman has arranged the work that our team wants to do. Everyone is not doing well, and we look forward to your early recovery!"

Massims was startled, and he hurriedly asked, "You haven't messed up ?!"

"Where do we dare to mess up, at most we complain?" Muttered Camus.

"It's not good to complain! Do you forget what happened to Brutus before? Besides, you have been doing well before. This time the big project is completed, we can definitely get more rewards and strive to start next year's celebration. We I can get free places every year, so don't cause the jealousy of the foremen because of the refreshment of the moment, that will ruin our previous efforts! "Massimos warned seriously.

The "lesson learned by Brutus and others" he mentioned refers to the two riots caused by the Romans in the Turui slave camp in the past few years, and then the Elder Theonian proposed: Roman slaves disobeyed, He also loves to make troubles. Turui is the center of the kingdom. In order to avoid any accidents and destabilize Turui, all Roman slaves should be removed from the Turui slave camps and scattered away from the Turui region. In other town slave camps.

Due to the strong obstruction of Pbulius, it was not passed through in the end, leaving a small number of Roman slaves who did not participate in the riots and were usually at peace. Pbulius also sent people to the camp to warn the remaining Roman slaves: Of all the slave camps in the Kingdom of Dionia, Turui's camp is the best-paid and easiest place to contribute (because Turui is the center of the kingdom, the supervision is very strong, and the camp managers are generally afraid to The chaos is much worse, like slave camps in some remote areas. For example, in Sardinia, there are slaves who die in the mine every month. The conditions are bad.) To get freedom, it ’s best to stay safe here!

"We're really doing a good job these days! Every day we lay more stones than other teams!" Camus vowed, while watching the foreman patrolling back and forth in the cafeteria, and hated Hatred whispered: "If he dare to underreport our team's results, I will go to the civilian officer!"

There were tens of thousands of slaves in the slave camps in Turui. At present, there are nearly 10,000 people. In order to better manage and comfort them, and to supervise the officials in the camps, there are also separate defenders in the camps. After the riots in the camp a few years ago, the number of civilian officials was also increased, mostly by slave-born Dionysian citizens.

"Don't say more, hurry up after dinner and work up the mountain!" Massimus reminded.

It didn't take long for him to speak, and he heard the foremen urging loudly.

The two ate the breakfast horribly, and even picked up the bread crumbs that fell on the dining table. If they wouldn't have done it a few years ago, the difficult environment had changed them.

When they hurried out of the cafeteria, another large number of slaves rushed into the procession. The schedule was so compact that the thousands of slaves in the camp could eat breakfast and work in time.

The last batch of women who entered the cafeteria were always female slaves and children. Their number was not large, less than a thousand. After all, kingdom slaves were different from private slaves. Most of them engaged in heavy physical labor, mainly male slaves, but In the Western Mediterranean War a few years ago, Dionia caught many prisoners with family members, most of whom were Romans, Latins, and Phoenicians.

According to the provisions of the "Dionian Law" on slaves, it is not allowed to forcibly dismantle slave families and sell them separately. Moreover, Dionia does not prohibit the union of men and women in the kingdom, because slaves with families are naturally more at ease and more motivated, which is conducive to the stability of slave camps.

Of course, whether these female slaves have a family or not, UU reads www. uukanshu.com can not help but work as a kitchen helper, sew slave clothes, assist in purchasing food, as a salesman in a slave camp, and even be assigned as a temporary hire, etc ...

Because there are more men and fewer girls in the camp, in order to prevent them from being harassed and violated, the Slavery Law has strict regulations on this. Whether it is male slaves, or officials and hired workers in the camp, offenders must be severely punished. Almost extinct in the Turiyi camp, it also allows male slaves with families to safely leave their families and go out to work.

In the middle of the slave camp is a simple square. This compacted and flat grassland is not only used to gather slaves and announce some announcements. It is also a place for slaves to play and play in leisure.

On the side of the square are several large black wooden boards, with white pens writing some announcements about slaves, and some information about "need to hire" issued by the camp. As public officials, their usual work is mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of public works, such as temples, bridges, roads, and mining of public mines.
