Chapter 1239 The True Sage

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first class is a good start. I have also considered what kind of teaching will be given.

    This is a class on social systems.

    That's why many priests are attracted. Of course, these priests are here to make trouble.

    But a real master can turn his enemies into his own supporters. As long as most of the enemies become his own people, then a small number of enemies will be drowned in the saliva of the public.

    Therefore, one's own ideas and oriental culture can be thoroughly rooted in this land, even deeply rooted.

    ? I can be in power for more than a hundred years, and a hundred years is still very, very long, enough to cause earth-shaking changes in the living habits and worship culture of the people in a piece of land.

    So, I wrote the title, and the cuneiform script was slightly scribbled in Yan Zai's hand.

    "You are in a class, and you don't know where the class came from and why it died."

    "Transformation from a slave city-state to a slave empire, and the collapse and demise of a slave empire."

    When the title was written, everyone was surprised.

    And the priests began to look at each other. Obviously, what Yu Zai wanted to say had aroused their interest.

    In Enhaiduana's eyes, there was a lot of interest.

    Priest Juanjuan's eyes widened, as long as the King of the East was unclear about something, he would open the door to find fault

    "all the temples have a total of 6,500 people, and slaves account for 3,500 people. As the most powerful city-state, Lagash has a population of 100,000 people, and merchants and other  The slaves, as well as the pioneers of the surrounding villages, all the adult civilian free men who settled in the local area, there are only 36,000 people, and the number of slaves in the temple alone has reached one-tenth of the number of men in Lagash  .¡±

    "the increasing poverty of laborers and the reduction of purchasing power have destroyed the commercial and handicraft economy, so production has stagnated, grain shortages, financial constraints, and population decline The originally powerful city-state eventually declined  Become a small country with few people."

    "One of the most important reforms of King Urukakina is to restore the civilian status of some slaves. When they become free citizens, they have legitimate labor rights. They can engage in agriculture or handicrafts, saving  Broken economy¡±

    "the bankruptcy of the small peasantry, the collapse of the economic foundations of the city-state, leading to the demise of the city-state itself, to be replaced by the latecomers"

    "after the collapse of slavery in the city-states, it was replaced by the empire of slavery, which was the form in which slavery developed to its zenith, the economic development of slavery, reflected in the growth of the material wealth of the state, of all origin systems  It collapsed and was reintroduced under the new ruler, so an empire was born, and the entire land was reshuffled."

    "But if we can make a safe transition and carry out positive changes, then we can avoid the fate of collapse and reshuffle, and thus enter the period of slave empire autocracy. At this time, there is only one most powerful king in the world.  Internal defense has become external expansion.¡±

    "and an empire is an extreme form of national development. It is the result and manifestation of various contradictions. The most effective way to resolve these contradictions is war! Therefore, a city-state or country in the embryonic form of an empire often behaves extremely  Radical, flourishing internally, strong externally, but a large number of frequent wars will also make the empire flourish and decline. When the war stops and the empire cannot plunder enough to calm the conflicting interests of the society, it will begin to decline."

    "Snapped!"

    Very soon!

    The first person to raise his hand appeared!  But not the students, nor the slaves, but the Priest Juanjuan among the priests.

    "Uh, what's your problem?"

    Yan Zai was ready to deal with the opponent's difficulties, but the result was unexpected.

    "Your boards are replaced too quickly! I haven't finished copying yet!"

    Priest Juanjuan was very unhappy!

    The clay tablet in his hand had been turned over at some point, and he was rapidly recording the written words and some of the words on the clay tablet that had no writing on it.

    From when the sun rises to when the sun is about to set.

    Yan Zai slowly put down a wooden board, and then stopped talking. At this time, no one made any rebuttals in the whole class. Rather, there was no rebuttal from the beginning.

    The faces of those priests have been changing between blue and white, but the time for the change is not very long. Most of the time, they are carving clay tablets. I am very happy that some of my words can be read by these high-spirited people.  ?The noble priest with a head like a rooster listened.

    In fact they had to listen.

    Many things, including the massive use of slaves in temples and land sales, were originally an important trigger for social conflicts. In the past, the temple land sales reached their peak during the period of King Urukakina, which led to the  There was a great turmoil, and the reform was forced to suspend. The priests of the temple colluded with foreign enemies to open the gate of the city-state, causing the king to fall from his position of honor.

    Moreover, many of the things that the concubine said were dry goods, which were like deafening thunder to the ears of people of this age.

    Just like the preface they saw before starting the lecture.

    You are in a class, and you don't know where the class came from and why it died.

    The eyes of the priests have learned.

    However, there was a certain degree of protest in my mind.

    The hands have already started to spin.

    "I have learned these things, so can I deal with the riots and resistance of those slaves normally?"

    Some priests couldn't wait to ask about it, but Yu Zai could only respond with an awkward but polite smile, and there were naturally smart priests around who shook their heads and sighed at him.

    Knowing is one thing, but many problems in society cannot be solved by knowing.

    Moreover, as members of the higher class, they can only watch the intensification of social conflicts, but cannot alleviate and contain them. After all, there is no reason to spit out the meat in their mouths, and the nobles do not have the same temper.  If a piece of land is spit out, people will naturally scramble for it, but in the end it will never be handed over to those untouchables and slaves.

    Wealth always gathers at the top and never flows to the bottom.

    It's a wonderful feeling to watch one's own class go to the top and then perish.

    "This is the end of my class today. It seems that everyone has no objection to my class."

    "I am very grateful to everyone for coming here. As a foreign king, I always feel a little out of place here."

    "The last sentence, we have a proverb in the East, 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it'. Water can carry a small boat, but it can also overturn it. When civil strife comes, the foreign enemy only needs a light punch.  The seemingly impenetrable defenses collapse in an instant.¡±

    "I'm just telling you what will happen and the solution. You won't and can't do it. How can it be so easy to let go of things related to interests? Of course, I am very concerned about the ancient land of Lagash  A king, full of confidence. I believe he will be engraved on clay tablets, and stand side by side with Gilgamesh."

    "In our land, this is called a name that goes down in history and lasts forever."

    After Yanzai finished speaking, Enhaiduana was the first to respond. She stood up and thanked Yanzai:

    "Umia! Thank you for your lecture!"
