Chapter six hundred and twentieth [Roman consul]
Three major events occurred in 348 BC. The first was that the International Law proposed by Bai Zi of Qin State was strongly supported by the Emperor Zhou and recognized by the various countries in China. According to this decree, the United Nations in China was established. The three major countries of Qin, Wei and Chu became permanent states of the UN Security Council. The headquarters of the United Nations was built in Luoyi. The Emperor Zhou became the chief of the United Nations. Although it was only a title, it was so happy that this chief of the official was much more realistic than the emperor. If there were disputes in the future, it would have to convene the Security Council for deliberation under his presidency, and his Ji Bian became important again!
The second major event is related to Master Meng and Aristotle. This former debater has now become a good friend like a mountain and flowing water. It is said that he also traveled to Athens with the support of Bai Zi of Qin. He will build a Fengming branch in Athens in the future. He will not only study Eastern knowledge, but also Western knowledge, and become a "magnificent bond for East-West cultural exchanges" in the future.
Zhao Ji used this inflammatory language to introduce it in the "Da Qin Times" and revealed that Fengming Academy will recruit students who go to Athens to study in the future. The students can not only receive the greatest financial support, but also sit in the same class with the Greek female classmates wearing white robe, blonde hair and blue eyes to study. In the future, they will become great scholars who learn Chinese and Western cultures. They will be just around the corner.
This news caused a sensation among countless students in the world. Before Aristotle and Master Meng arrived in Athens, someone had already gone to the newspaper to inquire about enrollment matters.
The third major event is the promulgation of the "International Private Law" and the "International Maritime Law". Corresponding to the "International Law" which established laws such as "Pre-occupying rights" and "Preferential treatment of prisoners in wartime". It was drafted by Bai Dong and discussed by the Legalists such as Wei Yang, Shen Dao, and Shen Buwei, which was unexpectedly supported by the United Nations Security Council and was announced to the whole of China through the "Qin Times". These two laws fundamentally resolved the Chinese countries.
The trade dispute procedure between China and Persia, and various trade rules and regulations between Western countries in the future, such as the most representative "offshore risk transfer rules", "overship string risk transfer rules", "buyer border risk transfer rules", etc., because the scope of the matter is no longer limited to China, these two laws are translated into several languages such as Persian, Greek, etc., and will be spread to Persia and Western countries along with the International Law.
This is the first time in Chinese history that the law has been announced to the whole world in the true sense. Ordinary people still don’t realize it. Those scholars who have read books and have learned the news. Everyone was really excited and celebrated each other.
Wei Yang sighed deeply about this: "If these three laws are accepted worldwide, Bai Zi's name should be held for 30,000 years!" Thirty thousand years have been too long, but these three works combine modern international law ideas and are able to complement Bai Dong's reputation for two thousand years.
Even Bai Dong himself once thought about the fact that when these two laws were released, there was basically nothing about Roman law. It goes without saying how the emergence of "International Law" and "International Private Law" would cause a sensation. "International Maritime Law" is more perfect and detailed than the Roman Maritime Law that will be issued in the future. Compared with it, the "Rodhai Law" five hundred years ago is 10,000 times rougher than the "Birth Plant" of a skilled woman.
Don’t worry about whether Western countries will accept the laws issued by China. The acceptance of laws is often inseparable from the strength of the issuing country and the rationality and practicality of the laws themselves. I believe that in no time, the laws of China will be used by the whole world like the Roman law in the future, and even in later university classes, they will be told over and over again.
However, when the Chinese scholars were cheering for these three major events, they didn't know that there was a boy named Su Qin who followed Meng Master Aristotle on a journey to the West; they didn't know that the most beautiful Qin State, the best at spying on intelligence and dancing with long sleeves, was sitting upright in a sunny courtyard in the city of Rome, enjoying the service of several beautiful female slaves.
The savages of the Gaul barbarians were about to point to the city of Rome, but this great city had not yet felt a trace of crisis. The Roman nobles were still soaking in their rectangular hot pool while taking a bath and tasting delicious wine. The Roman civilians were still discussing the superiority of slavery, believing that they could use the lives of slaves to repay the harm they brought to their neighbors? These Latin bastards with poor blood always thought that they were the descendants of God’s most attached to them, and believed that their elite legions could withstand any attack. They did not expect that this great city would become a battlefield of blood and fire in no time.
Marcus Valerius Coleus patted his wife's high-profile butt, and the consul's wife threw a charming look at Jing Jian, smirked and hid in the back. Jing Jian looked at her white porcelain back neck and shook her head slightly. These Roman upper nobles were simply crazy, just to make their skin whiter and eat a lot of lead powder like eating, but they didn't know that doing so would seriously shorten their lives. This was Marcus's first wife. The previous few people probably ate lead powder and died.
"If you don't want your wife to die too early, let her stop taking lead powder. I will give you some medicines. They are all configured by our genius doctor, Mr. Bian Que, to nourish the body and prolong life."
Jing Jian still has a good impression of the Roman consul in front of him. Among the major families of Rome, only the Valerius family is the most low-key and friendly to civilians and slaves. The privileges they demand are also very interesting. They can just open the door on the street. The consul in front of him is an absolute good man, and it is pleasant to deal with him.
"I will remember your advice. Friends from the East"
Marcus nodded, pointed to the stone case in front of him with his slender fingers, and giggled: "Don't you think Rome is now like these noble women who eat lead powder for beauty? The great city of Rome is far from being built, and the nobles relaxed their vigilance and believed that Rome was already indestructible. Especially the stupid pigs in the Senate, the Gaul savages were about to fight to the city of Rome, but they were still discussing how to fully open trade with Greece? Their heads were already blinded by interests, and only money was in their eyes!"
"Commercial trade is of course important, but this is not the spirit of the Romans. They are really stupid pigs."
Jing Jian also laughed and stared at Marcus and said, "Just like Marcus Popilius Laenas, who is the consul of you, why can this bastard with only money and interests be re-elected for four terms? Because of the deep foundation of the Popilius family? Oh, if I remember correctly, his grandmother seems to have some Persian blood?"
When talking about Marcus Popilius Laenas, Marcus Valerius Coleus laughed: "Is this why the Eastern China wants me to be an ally? This is why your wise man named Bai Zi let the elite soldiers pretend to be pirates and severely attack the Mediterranean trade? This is not good, my friend, although I oppose the Romans only care about commercial trade, they do not refuse reasonable commercial exchanges. After all, this is also very important to Rome."
"Dear Consul, you completely misunderstood Bai Zi's kindness. In fact, compared to Rome, your biggest enemy, Gaul, relies more on supplies from Greece. If Bai Zi hadn't done this, I'm afraid you would be defeated faster. And I also brought Bai Zi's sincerity this time. As long as we can become an alliance, the Chinese army will climb the Apennines in the shortest time to help you defeat those barbarians."
"Then what?"
Marcus asked expectantly.
"And then? Of course, just like treating Persia, the Chinese army will control the entire Rome in the shortest time!"
Jing Jian laughed even more strangely
"What did you say!"
It was like being stung by a hornet on the butt, Marcus suddenly jumped up from the white stone bench. (To be continued.)
