Chapter 138

"We are very interested." Kelton road.

Su ye thought for a moment and said, "first of all, the current class distribution in Athens is very uneven. It can be said that there are only two layers, aristocracy and civilians. As for slaves, I also want to say a lot, but in addition to debt slaves, foreign slaves are not in the scope of discussion. Or, in fact, only the nobility holds power. As a result, magicians and soldiers who rely on their own efforts to grow do not have much power and power even at the golden level. "

"With the frequent occurrence of war, these low-level magicians and soldiers have become the main forces affecting Athens, and these people have accumulated enough wealth through war, plunder, hunting, exploration and so on. However, we found that the contribution of the nobility to the war and the city-state was getting lower and lower. With each passing day, people at the middle and lower levels must have accumulated considerable resentment and strong demand. If the needs of these people cannot be met, Athens will be in chaos. Even if it is stronger than the aristocracy, it is bound to compromise. They can't kill all the civilians and leave a pure aristocratic world. "

The crowd nodded softly.

"Secondly, the city-state form is different from the state form. We Athens are very big, but it is a city-state after all. We are all people living in one city. Unlike Persia, Persia is an empire. Their cities are endless like wheat on the ground. The destruction of any city will not affect the overall situation, so the upper class will not care about the lower class. Athens is different. Even if a street is destroyed, it will shake every Athenian. "

"This form of city-state, not slaves, is destined to make Athenian citizens think that the gap between people is not very large, and people will not worship the Persian king as a god like Persia. There are various differences between the city-state form and the state form, such as the population, such as the ability to resist disasters, and so on, which force the upper class not to ignore the interests of civilians. "

Fast appreciated: "this angle is very original and incisive!"

Kelton and nedell nodded.

"The third point involves culture and living conditions. Even if it is a demigod family, there is no permanent dominance... "

Su ye said five points one after another, but also hid some radical views.

"It's really their fault that the mysterious organization didn't invite you." Fast sighed.

"So, how do you think Solon will reform?" Nidel.

Su Ye is very cautious. Although Solon of blue star is famous for his reform, Solon here can't use the same way of reform.

The Solon reform of blue star ancient Greece restored the citizens' assembly, and then created a 400 member parliament, citizens' jury court, changed the law and established a new class.

Before Solon, ancient Greece was divided into classes according to descent. After the reform, it was divided into classes according to possession of property. It was divided into 500 doumai, knight, yoke and Japanese servant according to annual income.

It is clear that Athens in the world pays more attention to power than wealth.

Su ye said, "not surprisingly, Solon will break the secondary class of nobility and civilians and add new classes, either one or two. For example, create a "Knight class" between civilians and nobles, so that these people have similar power to nobles. Or, restore the citizens' assembly that once appeared, so that some Athenian citizens are also eligible to participate in Athenian government affairs. I feel that in order to win support, Solon will abolish debt slaves. After all, it is cruel for all Athenian citizens to be forced to become slaves because they owe money. But Solon probably didn't have the energy to take care of the foreign slaves. "

"Your idea is a little amazing." Kelton road.

"It's hard to say." Nedell said.

Fast sighed and said, "I really want to grab you directly into the army and train you with the strength of the army. Unfortunately, I can't delay you. Plato college is the best place for you to grow up. "

"General, do you completely believe Su Ye's lies?" Kelton was surprised.

Fast said positively, "don't underestimate this young man. Because, not long ago, general Medea also said that Athens needs a new middle class, and Athens may also restore the civic assembly, and even said that debt slaves should be abolished. At that time, I only thought he had feelings. Today, I understand what he should have seen and expressed his views. Two people almost coincide. "

"I'm sorry, general. I made a mistake." Kelton didn't dare to talk back to fast, because fast hated being unreasonable when he was clearly wrong.

Fast's expression became pleasant. He patted Su ye on the shoulder and said, "I will tell general mitayad what happened today. He will like you very much. Unfortunately, your rank is too low. Grow up quickly. Athens needs you! "

Kelton suddenly found that there seemed to be too much lemon juice in the salad for dinner today. He smelled sour from his stomach to his mouth.

He had never seen general fast praise a man so much, and he was so young.

"You flatter me, general. But you're right. I'm still too young and need to accumulate strength. " Suye road.

Near the mountain gate, the carriage entered the nearby street, found a place to stop, several people got off and walked to the municipal square.

At this time, the municipal square was crowded, and tens of thousands of Athenian citizens came here, and the number was increasing. On the municipal square and nearby roads, many magicians are constantly releasing suspended brilliance, making it like day. Su ye even saw many civilians running here in tears. With the continuous flow of people, Su ye and others finally arrived at the municipal square. In the deepest part of the municipal square, on a temporary wooden platform, an old man in a white robe stood there. The old man only had a golden collar around his neck and didn't wear a magic beard loudspeaker, but every word he said could spread all over the city. Su Ye looked at the man from a distance and recalled the information about Solon on the way before. He found that Solon was actually only 40 or 50 years old, but he looked close to 60. Perhaps Solon's appearance is very vicissitudes. When he said those words, it makes people more convinced. Solon was thinner than expected, his eyes were slightly sunken, his tan skin was loose, and he was not tall and powerful. However, his voice was full of power and his eyes were full of passion. Solon's eyes seemed to reflect the light of all Greece. Perhaps it was his eyes that lit up Greece. At this time, Solon began to announce some of his political ideas“ I think the greatest injustice, the greatest sin and the greatest darkness in Athens is to deny efforts! A person, with all his life's efforts, becomes a golden magician or golden warrior, but he may still be treated like a dog by the nobility! What an absurdity! "“ These soldiers and magicians fought with Persians and Warcraft. Their bones were all over Greece. What about the nobles? Sit at home and enjoy the services of slaves, and those slaves are likely to have the families of martyrs killed in battle! What an injustice! "“ I think Athens needs a new class, a class that recognizes efforts, a fair class, a new class that aristocrats can't trample on casually!
