Therefore, the intensification of this contradiction, coupled with the intensification of contradictions in more order and other data processing aspects in the empire, eventually led to civil war!

This civil war is different from the previous civil wars. The previous civil war was just to drive the pharaohs and others away from the palace. But now these civilians have the concept of money and know that the pharaohs and others will take revenge on them. So far

This is a civil war whose first criterion is to eliminate everyone.

First, civilians use silver coins to buy a large number of weapons, and then equip them. Then they kill the nobles first, grab more silver coins from the nobles' homes, and then buy more weapons, and even chariots and horses, so that they can

We fought with the Pharaoh's army, but the Pharaoh's army was not easy to mess with at all. After all, the Pharaoh's army was professional and did not do any heavy work every day. They just trained how to kill people. Although the civilians were equipped with sophisticated weapons and warfare

Cars are far inferior to well-trained troops in terms of usage skills.

This again led to the death of a large number of civilians. Almost half of the empire was crying again. There were mountains of corpses and traces of scavenging birds everywhere. Children were crying and searching among the sea of ​​corpses.

They were looking for their parents, but before they could find them, they were shot to death by Pharaoh's warriors with bows and arrows, because to these warriors, these civilians were not human beings, or in other words, they were inferior people. To put it bluntly, they were just garbage.

, so there is no need to be kind to them.

The empire's resistance only lasted a few days, but the Pharaoh's army bloody massacred 150,000 people, and the general who led the army to massacre would claim credit in front of the Pharaoh, saying that he himself was responsible for this.

The resistance was completely suppressed.

But when Pharaoh heard that he had killed a total of 150,000 civilians, his expression suddenly changed, because Pharaoh understood that the 150,000 the general said might be an exaggeration, but it might also be an undercount. At this point, for Pharaoh,

In theory, exaggerating is a good thing, but underestimating it is a big problem, because the empire currently only has a total of less than one million people, and the sudden death of 150,000 laborers is not a joke at all, this is to deal with

The empire had a very big impact.

The general didn't know all this and still asked for credit from the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh looked embarrassed and rewarded the general with several beautiful women. Then he sent the general away. Then the Pharaoh began to worry because he didn't know what would happen to the empire.

What exactly will happen?

Sure enough, the Pharaoh's worries came true a few months later. A few months later it was time for the empire to collect grain. It could be said that silver coins were used to buy grain from civilians or nobles. However, this year, grain could not be bought all of a sudden. It turned out that

, the Pharaoh's generals led the army to kill a large number of civilians farming, which resulted in a large number of wheat fields being abandoned and no food being harvested at all. Although the Pharaoh repeatedly ordered to question the 150,000 dead civilians, they

Is there anyone taking care of the wheat fields that were planted before? Pharaoh always answered that someone was taking care of it.

From here it is not difficult to see that the nobles and some local officials actually lied to Pharaoh. As for why they lied? Because they were afraid that Pharaoh would let them take care of the wheat fields themselves, because they thought they had a lot of silver coins, so

There is no need to plant wheat fields, since there will be nothing to eat anyway, so just go to other city-states or something to buy some wheat.

But what they don't know is that these grains are eaten every year by warriors, nobles, and even everyone at the top, plus the approximately 100,000 people who built the pyramid, and they also need to store grains.

What if the wheat harvest fails next year? Or what if a war suddenly breaks out with a country? What if there are other situations? Therefore, there will not be too much wheat delivered to the palace's warehouse this year, which may even lead to the shutdown of the pyramid.

, Pharaoh was very angry about this matter!

Therefore, Pharaoh personally led his army and killed too many local nobles. Of course, he also killed the local officials! In fact, these nobles and officials did not know until their death what they had done wrong. Why did Pharaoh do this?

He was so angry that even the soldiers in Pharaoh's army didn't know why Pharaoh suddenly became so angry, but they soldiers just followed orders, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Then the Pharaoh had to really stop the progress of the pyramid, and then asked the 100,000 people who built the pyramid to come back to take care of all the previously abandoned wheat fields, and began to squeeze the civilians and even the nobles in other city-states, mainly

Not only did they want the silver coins in their pockets, but they wanted the food in their hands. Some nobles even presented gold and silver treasures to the Pharaoh, such as shells, glass and the like. The Pharaoh was very angry. The Pharaoh said that he only wanted food, and he only lacked food.

Everyone couldn’t understand, couldn’t these gold and silver treasures, or silver coins, etc., be exchanged for food? How could this be possible, right? When Pharaoh heard what these idiots said, he killed several of them on the spot.

Shock those other idiots.

But they still didn't seem to know why Pharaoh used to always like gold, silver, treasures and silver coins, but now he suddenly only likes food? But because Pharaoh had already killed several people, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

In the end, the pharaoh asked the workers who built the tomb to plant wheat fields for three or four years, which gave the empire a slight reprieve. However, the pharaoh still did not wait until his tomb was completed and died prematurely.

In short, this is another pharaoh. The current pharaoh also likes to bury himself in the pyramid. So far, he has continued to build pyramids and continued to squeeze the common people and nobles. Why are these pharaohs like this? In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

Yes, these pharaohs are all one family, and the position of pharaoh is passed down from generation to generation.

So we can also say that the people in this Pharaoh's family became more and more harsh from generation to generation, and did not treat the common people as human beings. In the end, the common people couldn't stand it anymore, and another large-scale civil war broke out, but this time the Pharaoh

He knew the lessons of past mistakes, so he sent his generals to kill only the leaders as much as possible to act as a deterrent.

But this resistance is different from before, because this time the resistance is because the Pharaoh really does not regard the common people as human beings. The common people are not even as good as dogs, and the common people cannot earn silver coins, no matter what they make.

No, unless you rob, but if you rob, you will be killed, of course by the nobles, because the common people will only rob the nobles' silver coins, and this is also because only the nobles have silver coins.

All of a sudden, the nobles seemed to have moved back to the same game, but that was not the case. The common people were becoming poorer and poorer, and had less and less to eat, and were living more and more like dogs. Even many common people,

They didn't even have the chance to get married in their lives, so these civilians eventually began to blur the concept of death. It was better to die than to live and suffer anyway. In other words, now that they are not even afraid of death, they might as well kill the Pharaoh.

never mind.

Precisely because of the birth of this kind of thinking, this kind of thinking is often more powerful than the magic of money, but few people can control this power.

In the end, just like before, the Pharaoh was kicked out of the palace again, but what was different this time was that the new Pharaoh, the sixth Pharaoh of the empire, was named Hammurabi.

It’s different from the previous pharaohs. How do you explain this? Let’s talk about it together:

First of all, the empire of Hammurabi's era was still a slave society, but it was more powerful than before. Hammurabi called himself the king of the four corners of the universe. He had to deal with a large number of complaint documents in the palace every day.

He also changed the name of the country, which is currently called Babylon. Because the Kingdom of Babylon was too vast and had a large population, complaints piled up like mountains. Hammurabi was too overwhelmed to deal with it, so he called the former Sumerians.

The laws of some surrounding tribes were collected, revised, and combined with some Babylonian customs, and then compiled into a code. This code is the "Code of Hammurabi."

Hammurabi ordered the craftsmen to carve this code on a stone pillar and place it in the great temple of the main city-state for all the subjects to see. The stone pillar was about two meters high and had a relief on it, depicting two people.

Sitting is the Sun God. The Sun God has a new name, called Shamash. Standing is Hammurabi. He is taking the scepter symbolizing power from the Sun God, indicating that his own power is the Sun God.

Granted, so everyone must obey his orders, otherwise they will be punished by the gods. Under this relief, there are laws densely engraved in Babylonian cuneiform, totaling 282 articles, divided into

Fifty-one columns and 4,000 lines, approximately 8,000 words in total.

As for the content of Hammurabi’s law, we have talked about it before so we won’t repeat it here. Let’s just say briefly that the main feature of Hammurabi’s code is tit for tat. For example, if the other party hurts our eyes,

Then we can directly hurt each other's eyes. For example, if I say, they killed our family members, then we can also kill their family members. Or a doctor treats the slave owner, and if the slave owner dies, then the doctor

His hands will be cut off and so on.

Of course, these equal laws are only suitable for circulation among the upper class. We must not forget that our ancestors were still in a slave society at this time, so this era is still the upper class, nobles, and then merchants and commoners, and then

In fact, the concepts between slaves, civilians, merchants, and even slaves are very vague. It can also be said that slaves are civilians, that is, merchants. It can be said that these three types of people are the same concept.
