I Have 48 Hours a Day
Vol 3 Chapter 103: Where are you from?
Maybe it was because he was about to be sent to a gladiator school to become a gladiator. The work they were assigned was not too onerous, and Zhang Heng could not feel the cruel oppression of the evil society of slavery for the time being.
After completing the work at hand, the supervisor did not appear again, and assigned them new work as if they had forgotten them, so Zhang Heng and Varo, the two new slaves, took it for granted. Fish come.
Zhang Heng took the initiative to communicate with Varo and wanted to get as much useful information as possible from the other party. After all, his understanding of ancient Rome was limited to some of the more famous historical figures and historical events. Varo and ordinary slaves Different, before becoming a slave, he was a regular Roman citizen and a businessman. He was well informed, and unlike his burly figure, his person was very kind, and at the same time, he probably felt how much things just happened. Some owed, he basically has to answer questions.
In consideration of the current situation of the two, Zhang Heng first asked Varo and slaves, because from Varo's previous words, although the slaves were at the bottom of Roman society, the fate of different slaves seemed to be quite different. of.
"This is of course." Varo explained patiently, "For example, staying in the city is usually much better than selling to the countryside, because the city is relatively richer, the living conditions of slaves will be better, and some nobles We need to take into account our own face and show their kindness. Most people will not over-press slaves. Your job is basically to take care of the male and female masters, do cleaning or something, but there is not much heavy work. Crap."
Varo licked his slightly dry lips, and then said, "Sold to the country, either farming or mining, the food and living conditions are not good, because the host there will try to make you work more, they Do n’t care about your living conditions. The more you eat, the less you eat, the more they earn, and the female slaves are worse. They may be required to keep giving birth. Every child you give is a sum of money, whether it is yourself It is a good choice to keep working or sell it. "
"What about the investment you said?" Zhang Heng asked later.
"Oh, this is the best destiny for a talented slave like me. You can ask the owner to invest a sum of money and open the shop yourself. As long as you can bring a steady stream of income to the owner, your status will naturally grow. The higher you don't have to serve the master like other efforts, and you will eventually be free if you are lucky, because in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the slaves, many masters will set a certain amount, and you will become a Roman citizen again after making so much money. "
"It sounds good." Zhang Hengdao.
Varo hesitated, and then added, "In fact, the gladiator ... is barely a way out. If you can pass the assessment to become a gladiator, your status will be a little higher than that of ordinary slaves, and if you can If the arena wins a certain number of games, you can also be free, but that's too difficult. Many people who have been on the battlefield with superb fighting skills can't live that day, let alone us. By the way, where are you from? I haven't seen you look like this before. "
"I am from the Eastern Han Dynasty." Zhang Hengdao.
He is not a liar. In the second century AD, it was almost the Eastern Han Dynasty in history. At this time, the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire were the two most powerful super empires in the world. The villagers of Ergan are very keen to discuss who can win such a fight between Han Dynasty and Rome, and they are constantly tormenting.
But unfortunately until now, although China has unearthed such things as the Roman Cup, archaeological circles have not had a unified answer on whether there has been contact between Rome and the Han Dynasty, let alone fighting. Who will win this kind of thing, but the more this kind of topic that can be aligned in the void becomes more enduring, because neither side can convince anyone.
Sure enough, Varro was a little dazed when he heard that the Han Empire was not sure. "Why did you come to Rome and become a slave?"
"I wanted to see what was on the west side, so I planned a trip, but when I came to Persia, I met a robber, and then I was sold to a slave dealer, and eventually moved to Rome." Ripped apart.
"Then you're too unfortunate, my Oriental friend." Vallo mourned for Zhang Heng for three seconds. In his opinion, Zhang Heng's temperament and well-maintained skin of modern people are all proof that Zhang Heng is what he calls a big man. The empire is a nobleman, and it is estimated that the status is not ordinary.
As a result, this guy didn't know what kind of wind was in his head, and he lived a good decadent and degenerate ruling class life. However, he had to pursue some poetry and distance. Now he is all right, plunging into the arms of the robber, not only from the aristocracy to slaves, I can't go back to my hometown again, and it seems that I still have to throw my life in Rome.
However, Varrow has not been feeling for Zhang Heng for a few seconds. He remembered that his tragic experience was not much better, so his mood fell again, but with this layer of connection ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ he felt himself and Zhang Heng The relationship between the two is closer. Both of them had a good life originally. As a result, they suddenly fell into slavery. In this regard, they have a common language.
Juan Varo couldn't help but patted his chest, "You can rest assured that if I return to freedom in the future, I will redeem you from the arena and make you return to your hometown if I make money."
"Thank you so much," Zhang Heng said politely, and didn't take Valo's promise very seriously.
Now that he knows that slaves are at the bottom of Roman society, he certainly will not always be slaves. Fortunately, although Rome is in the stage of slavery society, the society is not completely immobile. According to Varro, slaves can be obtained through hard work. The status of Roman citizens is even higher than that of foreigners. By the same token, civilians can be mixed into nobles. Of course, the difficulty factor is definitely more difficult than mixing slaves into civilians.
恒 Zhang Heng does not need to consider so much at this stage, he only needs to get rid of the slave status first.
The two chatted for a while afterwards until dinner.
In all fairness, dinner is pretty good, and the richness is certainly not comparable to later generations. Except for beans, it is porridge paste, but it is rare that there is meat and crab in the porridge paste.
But Varo was not happy when he saw this, and whispered to Zhang Hengdao, "It seems that they really intend to let us enter the Gladiator School."
