Chapter 1358 Recruitment

In Rome, Cai He saw a lot and experienced a lot of shocks, a country without an emperor and a country with slaves.

Cai He saw the advantages and disadvantages, but he soon realized that it was impossible for Great Qin to learn from the Roman system, because the national conditions were too different.

Today, Cai He is inspecting the camp that Rome has arranged for the crew of the fleet. Being in a foreign land, they are guests, Cai He has very high requirements for the crew of Daqin, he can't accept gifts casually, and he can't do anything that hurts the body of Daqin, otherwise he will be punished for sweeping the deck and beheading the heavy.

Therefore, the Qin people are still very low-key, although they really want to go shopping, but they will not violate discipline if they don't get permission.

They had been out at sea for so long, but it was the first time they had seen a decent city, and they wanted to experience the exoticism. According to Alex, Rome also has that kind of shame place to consume.

It can't be said that they don't have pursuits, because this is the pursuit in this era.

The Romans had more angular facial features, but they were still dominated by black hair and black eyes. Blonde and blue-eyed people were characteristic of barbarians in this era, and they could only be seen as far north as inland Europe, generally Germanic peoples.

Although there are some gaps, it is difficult to say about aesthetics.

Cai He was not unkind, and when everything was settled, he negotiated with Rome, and he finally decided to let the crew go into the city in batches. But it is still three chapters of the law, which are strictly stipulated.

In the face of the disciplined Qin people, Alex admired it very much. Then he got busy, and as the only translator, he had to go in and out every day, leading groups of Qin people to go shopping.

Cai He had promised Alex that when they left, he could stay in his hometown, he would get a good pay, and then he could go home. It is precisely because of this that Alex pressed his eagerness to go home and continued to work hard. He wants to recoup the time wasted in the past ten years, and he wants to prosper.

Alex's Qin dialect is actually not fluent, but there is no problem with basic communication with Qin people for a long time. Of course, he also knew that in addition to the Qin people, the Qin people who had status in the fleet also had many barbarian female slaves, and some even married female barbarians.

It is said that this is called concubines, and they will marry other wives after they return to Qin, which makes Alex very envious. Ancient Rome was monogamous, and of course it was permissible if you had the ability to find a lover.

Of course, Alex didn't know that the Qin State was actually monogamous, and the Qin Dynasty even had the law of 'if the husband has one wife and two concubines, he will be punished', 'if the husband has two wives, he will be punished', and 'if the wife has a foreign husband, the palace'.

The crime of bigamy was punishable by death in the Qin Dynasty, and even two concubines could not be more, and more ears were cut off.

The concubine is not a wife, at most she is just a high-level maid, and she has no status. Alex didn't know the truth, and thought that the men of the Qin State could marry many wives and go home.

This time, the Mayan slaves were also given a chance to go ashore, but they still had to be guarded to go down to the city.

Ah Yu was very excited, although the boat was also very good, but at his age it was a time of great curiosity, and it would be best if he could enter the city.

The slaves put on the clothes given by the Qin people, which were specially prepared by Cai He, even if they were slaves for the time being, they were also slaves of Great Qin, and they could not be ashamed.

Mayan slaves actually don't run away, because they want to go to Daqin and won't give up halfway. On board they have something to eat when they are hungry, a doctor to treat them when they are sick, and they are treated the same as the crew except for their salary. This made Ah Yu feel respected, and Cai He also said that after returning to the Qin State, they could return their freedom, and if they were willing to accept the hire to stay on the ship, the slaves would naturally not have the idea of escaping.

In Cai He's heart, Mayan slaves were a means of desperation, and as long as they worked well, he would return their freedom. When they arrived in the British Isles, except for the maids purchased by the captains, everyone was a mercenary relationship, and they were no longer slaves. His concept is still different from that of ancient Rome.

There are a lot of goods in the Roman bazaar, you can buy food and clothing, and people who have shopping intentions have already exchanged Roman coins before going out.

Of course, these Roman coins were the money made by the fleet after selling the goods, and Cai He opened the exchange after a little estimate of the exchange rate.

In the past, it was basically barter, and there were no decent coins in the account. This time, with Roman coins, the captains didn't have to exchange anything.

However, when the Qin people went out, the Roman merchants always asked: Is there still porcelain? There is no porcelain, and silk is fine.

Seeing that the Qin people paid in currency, they were still unhappy, as if they had earned a million less. It made the Qin people feel very embarrassed and shocked by their enthusiasm for porcelain.

If it weren't for the three chapters of the covenant, they would have liked to take out the lid of the teacup and replace it.

Prices in the two countries are actually about the same, and Cai He lowered the exchange rate so that they could get more Roman currency, which was also considered a benefit.

However, these Roman coins still have to be spent, because they will not be used to get back to Qin, and the gold and silver coins will have to be melted and recast, so it is better to directly exchange them for Roman specialties or hire someone as a reward.

The Senate has already helped post a notice to invite people, and the surrounding city-states except Rome have also posted it, but because Great Qin is too far away, no one has come to apply yet.

Cai He is not in a hurry, anyway, he still has to buy all kinds of books, and the books that all the city-states around the Mediterranean Sea have are his targets. This was also aided by the Senate, and the Roman caravans would have taken notice.

Ouno is a young architect, only thirty-two years old, living in a city on the edge of Rome. When he was young, he went to Athens to study architecture, and participated in the construction of the temple of Athens.

But when he returned to Rome, he was struck one blow after another, and the reason for this was that he had offended the satrap's son.

Although Ono was also a small slave owner, with a dozen or so slaves under his command, his family business was nothing compared to the governor who ran the city-state.

And when Ou Nuo found out that the reason why he was so targeted was because of his wife, he was even more angry when he learned everything. Ouno's wife, Fiya, was married by him before studying abroad, and the relationship has always been very good, but for some reason, he was known by the governor's son, and Fiya had to be his lover.

If Fiya didn't comply, he targeted Ono and made him unable to find a job.

There is no way to get mixed up, Ou Nuo is going to discuss with Fei Ya today to go to the Qin Kingdom, he doesn't believe that there is no place in the world to show his talents.

Fiya loves her husband deeply and naturally supports her unconditionally, but this time she will also follow.

After agreeing on this, Unor took all the slaves and prepared to set off. Slaves are not necessarily all doing heavy work, and in addition to doing housework, there are two other slaves who study with him, which is equivalent to his assistants, and they also have real talents.

Leaving the family to a relative, Uno made up his mind and prepared the luggage of the three-horse carriage and set off for the city of Rome.
