a hundred and forty three
But to talk about this first bloody storm of super nature in human history, we need to understand the current situation in various empires. I thought about it for a long time, and I would like to first understand the more powerful Greece, because at this time the Egyptian Empire has already
Not the strongest, the Egyptian Empire retreated from the throne of the strongest.
But if we want to talk about the power of Greece, I think we should start with a character. His name is Solon. He is a famous reformer and poet in Greece. He was born in a noble family on the island of Salamis in Athens.
Solon left his family when he was young and went into business. He visited many places, visited many places of interest, inspected the customs and customs of various places, and made friends with famous scholars from all over the world. This led Solon to
He gained very profound knowledge. In the process, Solon also had extensive contact with the common people and learned about social injustice. This matter had a very significant impact on Solon's future life.
Impact.
Solon saw a ragged beggar standing on the street begging for people's alms. At this time, a rich man came over, and the beggar hurriedly came forward to beg. Unexpectedly, the rich man not only did not give him anything, but he was disgusted.
He spit on the beggar's face. This incident greatly stimulated Solon. From then on, Solon often used the money he earned to help the poor, which also won him a lot of popularity among the common people.
reputation.
Solon also wrote many famous poems during his travels. In his poems, he violently condemned and criticized the greed, cruelty and tyranny of the nobles. For example: Those who do evil can get rich, while good people suffer poverty. But we are not willing to use
Our morality is exchanged for their wealth, because morality is eternal, while wealth changes owners every day.
From here it is not difficult to see that Solon actually discovered the biggest secret in the world in an instant, which is the truth we said before, people always listen to the words of the good, but follow the footsteps of the evil.
Of course, I am not saying that all rich people are evil people, but at least I can be sure that 99% of rich people are evil people. Why should I analyze this matter in this way?
In fact, I don’t analyze it from the perspective of morality or standards of life. I just give an absolute definition of the rich from the concept of money! It is an absolute definition! Why? In fact, it is very simple. All wealth belongs to the common people.
Created, but why does he have so much money in his pocket? And the common people are still so poor that they are worthless? In fact, this is easier to understand. The rich are actually just the money created by the common people, of which at least %
Over eighty, it is put into his own pocket. We don’t care what methods the rich people use. Anyway, he just puts it into his own pocket.
Then we can finally understand that behind any rich man, there are actually countless civilians supporting the rich man's happy life at the cost of poverty or even not having enough to eat. And they also have to endure the rich man's pain.
Discrimination and contempt, please don’t tell me that this is moral corruption or some other boring reason. We just understand this matter from the concept of money.
But the strange thing is that countless people are willing to listen to kind words, but their bodies have to involuntarily become a rich man, that is, they have to live a miserable life like that of countless civilians.
In order to support his own free life, he then goes on to say that the poor are worthless, and even uses money to obscure the law, and then massacres the poor.
At this point, many rich people may think that I am talking nonsense, saying that without rich people like them opening companies, many people would not have enough to eat. In fact, I tell you rich people, I stand on the highest belief of our country, and I am ordered to
Yu Tian, both longevity and longevity. Judging from the perspective of these eight words: the poor do not need you! It is just that the development of this society needs you.
However, the progress of this world is not supported by you. This world has been built by the common people from the beginning. From the first domestication of sheep, this world has been built by the common people, not you rich people, because in the
In the concept of money, if a person can get money without working, he must have a problem, and the problem is huge! Either he is thinking of ways to cheat the poor, or he is flattering everything in the world to get money, and then using money to
Destroy our highest belief as human beings!
So what is going on with the remaining one percent of rich people that I call? Because they deserve to be rich, and the Nobel Prize is a group of people who deserve to be rich. They leave no one speechless. They have done everything for us.
He has made great contributions to human progress, and we humans should be kind to him.
Some people may feel uncomfortable, and that’s okay. I’m just complaining. You can say that I have a strong hatred of the rich, right? But I don’t deny the fact that social development needs rich people. In fact, you can say whatever you want, but I have to say
The thing is, before I wrote this book, I first analyzed the problem of the rich, but now I have just hastily put all my opinions into a few grumbling paragraphs. The reason is: standing in nature
From a regular perspective, these are all reasonable because they happened.
I'm really sorry, everyone, my mood has fluctuated a little just now. Let's continue our topic now.
Solon's poems that criticized the rich also won him the reputation of the first poet in Athens. But we must understand that although Solon was born in a noble family, he strongly opposed the aristocracy's monopoly on the power of the country.
, dissatisfied with them for treating national affairs as child's play, dissatisfied with them judging cases at will, disregarding human lives, dissatisfied with them trampling on the fairness of the law, etc. So Solon's heart was full of desire for fairness and justice, hoping to save the people from the fire.
.
Salamis Island is located at the seaport of Athens and is also an important transit point for Athens' maritime trade. In order to compete for Salamis Island, neighboring Megara started a war with Athens, but the result was Athens' defeat. It was cowardly and incompetent.
Instead of preparing for war to avenge the situation, the top officials of Athens issued a statement saying: People are strictly prohibited from discussing the recovery of Salamis Island, and any offenders will be shot.
Although people were very dissatisfied, they were frightened by the law and kept silent. Solon consulted a large number of documents and verified from various aspects such as historical traditions, customs and habits, that Salamis Island should belong to Athens.
He was very indignant at the cowardly and incompetent behavior of the Athenian high-level officials. In order to awaken the patriotic enthusiasm of the Athenians, regain lost territory, and avoid unfair legal sanctions, he came up with a clever plan.
Early that morning, Solon, wearing a wreath on his head, came to the central square of Athens. He was pale, beating his chest with both hands, and shouting hysterically. People thought he was crazy and gathered around him.
Come over. When Solon saw that there were many people watching, he began to read his poem "Ode to Salamis" aloud. Oh, my Salamis, how beautiful it is, how nostalgic we are!
Let us march to Salamis and fight to regain this island! Let us wipe out the shame of the Athenians! Let Salamis return to our arms!
The onlookers were basically city residents such as craftsmen, businessmen, and workshop owners. For them, the cessation of overseas trade meant bankruptcy and poverty. Therefore, they all actively advocated another war and strongly supported Solon.
With Solon's efforts, the armistice decree was abolished! Solon led his army to attack Salamis Island and won a great victory! This victory also won Solon higher prestige among the civilians. Soon
He became a high-ranking official in Athens.
After becoming a high-ranking official, Solon went deep among the common people and understood their sufferings. In order to make Athens prosperous and strong, Solon realized that changes must be made. The first thing he changed was to issue the "Edict of Liberation"
, abolished all debts in which the human body was used to pay debts, liberated those who had become slaves because of debts, and prohibited the use of human bodies as collateral for debts in the future.
Solon also divided Athenian citizens into four categories according to their property: Those whose annual income reached five hundred measures of wheat were the first class, called the five hundred measures of wheat. Those whose annual income reached three hundred measures of wheat were the second class, called the five hundred measures of wheat.
Knight level. Anyone whose annual income reaches 200 dou is the third level, called the double-ox level, and can hold low-level official positions. Those whose annual income is less than 200 dou are the fourth level, called the daily servant level, and cannot hold any position.
While stipulating the powers, it also stipulates the corresponding obligations of the four classes. Citizens of each class must prepare their own weapons for military service to defend the country. The first and second classes serve as cavalry, and the third class serve as heavy infantry.
, the fourth class serves as light infantry, or serves in the navy, and is paid.
It is not difficult to see from here that among all the four levels of people who serve in the military, only those in the fourth level can receive pay. And what exactly is pay? In fact, it is what we call salary in modern times. So before we talk
When performing military service at the third level, not only do you have to prepare your own weapons, but you also have to buy your own weapons and armor, and as a soldier, you still don't get a dime of salary.
This form, coupled with some other factors, we can say that this is after Solon changed the decree, which dealt a heavy blow to the declining aristocracy, and was also beneficial to the industrial and commercial development of Athens. In fact, this concept of Solon
, is what everyone in our modern times will say, the rudiment of equality for all. This classification and system is also the rudiment of many of our modern systems. Don’t believe it? Let’s talk about our current system in China, personal income tax.
People with a monthly salary of less than 3,500 yuan do not need to pay. Of course, we can also say that people with a monthly salary of less than 3,500 yuan are actually poor households. But don’t worry, I am also one of the poor households.
member.
Okay, let’s stop chatting here, and then continue our topic. We can say that because of Solon’s change of decree, Athens developed extremely quickly and its national cohesion was very strong! And its military strength also reached a higher level! (
