Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

In addition, the senators heard that Tiberius’s propaganda this time would include more proposals for new legal changes.

The nobles immediately thought of the three agricultural land laws that were proposed at the Senate meeting and not passed, and the other reforms that the other party did not inform them of.

The mere existence of the Farmland Law was terrifying enough to make many nobles uneasy.

I was afraid that Tiberius would say something shocking again—!

So the Senate decided that they couldn't wait any longer - kill Tiberius!

Must kill...!

It doesn't matter even if it offends the Gracchus family.

If Tiberius is not killed, Rome will be in danger.

However, the Gracchi brothers, Listachi and others are now very powerful in Rome and have many supporters.

Just in case, they mobilized the private armies of each noble, who were absolutely loyal and would never betray.

Unlike the Roman soldiers who had poor food and drink and whose land was robbed, these private soldiers were supported by their families and were treated very well. Naturally, they had no reason to rebel against their parents who provided them with food and clothing.

At the same time, in order to prevent too many civilians from supporting Tiberius and others, their combat effectiveness is quite good.

The nobles were also considerate enough to send more troops.

When the day of the speech arrived, many young nobles led their troops in accordance with their family's instructions, mixed in with the crowd and arrived in advance on the city streets near the Tiber River where Tiberius was at the time.

Historically, Tiberius was beaten to death here and thrown into the river with his followers to feed the fish.

When these noble private soldiers arrived at the scene with confidence and murderous intent, they were stunned by the scene before them.

People, people everywhere——

Unexpectedly, there were so many civilians who came to listen to Tiberius' speech that it was a dizzying number.

At first glance, it was so crowded with people that it was impossible to see the exact number.

"There are so many people. Are we going to kill them all later?"

“You are crazy!!

How can you say such a stupid thing? Of course, we should just kill those who support us the most.

Get rid of those troublemakers along with Tiberius.

Then the others will naturally disperse out of fear and terror." At this time, the two young nobles were whispering to each other.

"Don't be fooled by the large number of people here. They are just a bunch of civilians who have never seen blood. Only a few of them can form an effective fighting force at a critical moment.

Once they see someone retreating, they will probably immediately become timid and want to retreat and run away."

“That’s right…

They are just a mob.

In comparison, many of our soldiers are retired from the battlefield, and have participated in battles with bandits and pirates for many years to protect the family's property in all aspects.

Their strength is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary civilians."

At this point, the two young nobles immediately felt relieved, exchanged glances with each other, and smiled knowingly and proudly.

As everyone knows--

What they thought was a whispered conversation had already been discovered by retired soldiers hiding in the crowd and transmitted to the other side of the night.

That's right—

Night is here too.

The Senate would never have dreamed that the news that Ye was still in Rome had long been outdated.

Although he was still in Rome in the morning, he arrived at the city in an instant in the afternoon in a chariot blessed with the concept of [Pegasus].

That’s right—the concept of Pegasus.

This power is the concept of the Pegasus Chariot that was previously inherited from the Achilles template.

Just like any gun-type weapon can be equipped with the concept of divine spear and used as the divine spear Hector.

After incorporating the Pegasus concept, the horse can run as fast as a meteor even without spreading its wings to fly.

This is also the reason why Ye was able to rush here urgently.

He came here to ensure Tiberius' safety.

And at this time, after knowing that the nobles' people had arrived.

After hearing the message sent back -

Ye laughed: Haha? More than people?

You are not the only ones with soldiers capable of fighting.

Not only do they have soldiers, but they have several times as many.

If you want to be the sixth, have you got his consent?

Ye is also full of confidence, extremely self-assured, and calmly waiting for everything to begin.

Soon, accompanied by a commotion in the crowd, Tiberius arrived under the protection of a group of disguised retired soldiers.

Countless people cheered Tiberius' name enthusiastically.

In fact, the various words advocated by Tiberius and his wonderful speeches had already spread throughout Rome in written form.

Now there are few Romans who are not awakened by his words. Most of the Romans here have heard that Tiberius is giving a speech here, and have come from far away to listen. They come specifically to support Tiberius.

At this moment, the young nobles in the crowd also subconsciously turned their eyes over.

They first saw the handsome face of Tiberius, who was smiling gently and calmly. At this time, he was constantly waving to the civilians around him, and there was a group of civilians holding wooden sticks as weapons around him to protect his safety.

Seeing this scene, the young nobles became more certain that Tiberius was going to rebel.

It's easy if you hold a 'weapon'!

Just label him as a traitor, and then you will have an explanation for destroying him.

However, if we can avoid causing public unrest, we should try to keep it to a minimum.

There were indeed too many people at the scene, and it would be better if they could be closer to Tiberius.

And it was this moment of hesitation.

Before the young nobles could react, Tiberius had already successfully passed through the streets built by the common people on both sides and climbed onto the platform.

Then Tiberius began to talk.

First, as always, he spoke some passionate words that inspired and angered people.

Then came the legal proposals to address Rome's current problems.

When the proposal on the agricultural land law was presented, many people excitedly clenched their fists and listened with great interest, filled with joy and anticipation of being allocated land in the future.

Tiberius finally began to mention new laws.

What is mentioned this time is the supplementary version that was upgraded by his younger brother Gaius Gracchus among the Gracchus brothers in the original history.

The establishment of the Agricultural Land Law remains unchanged.

Tiberius then mentioned the existence of the Wheat Laws.

When the audience heard the name, they were confused and stunned: "Wheat Law?"

what is that?

It sounds like the name of a crop and reminds people of land reform. Is there any difference between such a law and the Agricultural Land Law?

Aren't they put together?

Chapter 107: From Changping Warehouse to a job assigned by the state? There is such a good thing

Soon people's doubts were resolved.

The so-called "Wheat Law" established a law that required the country to purchase a batch of grain every year and sell it to the poor at prices lower than the market price.

In fact, it is a relief food distributed to the poor.

This is a typical 'Changping Warehouse' system.

In the neighboring Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of Han, who succeeded Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Zhao of Han, was not as famous as the former, but he was still considered an excellent emperor.

One of these actions was of epoch-making significance to the people’s lives and economic development in the Han Dynasty, and that was the Changping Granary.

By storing grain in preparation for famine years and meeting the food needs of officials and civilians, granaries can appropriately raise grain prices and purchase large quantities when market prices are low. When grain prices are high, they can release large quantities of grain to lower market prices, reduce the economic burden on civilians, and stabilize the market.

If Tiberius (Agricultural Law) proposed a general direction.

Among the various laws that evolved after Gaius, the existence of laws such as the Wheat Laws was to specifically supplement, improve, and more maturely respond to the hegemonic attacks proactively launched against the nobles.

Then Ye's more specific supplements later on completely established the new status and role of this wheat method.

Even without considering compatibility with the Agricultural Land Act.

It itself can also bring benefits to Rome by controlling and stabilizing the market economy.

Such an abstract concept left even the Gracchus brothers stunned for a few seconds when they first heard it.

Not to mention the people at this time.

Many people with poor comprehension ability cannot understand it.

But it doesn’t matter - even if they don’t quite understand what is said, they can generally understand the meaning by asking people around them and using their own imagination.

Even if they don't understand it at all, it doesn't affect their feeling that this new law sounds awesome.

handsome--!!

66666 and it's done.

Anyway, they just need to support him, right? After all, Tiberius has already been determined to be a good tribune who stands on the side of the common people.

They don't need to understand it either, it's too brain-intensive.

They only look at the end result, as long as it is for the better then it is fine!!

At this time, the new storm brought by Tiberius has not yet ended.

Soon he proposed the existence of laws such as the Army Act, the Public Utilities Act, and the Colonial Cities Act.

These laws were obviously written by Gaius.

Otherwise, how can we say that Gaius is more reliable, simple and rough than his brother Tiberius, and he is efficient, domineering and to the point.

The first and most important one is the "Military Law", which stipulates that from now on young people under the age of 17 will no longer be conscripted.

Furthermore - when Romans joined the army in the future, they would no longer have to pay for their food and equipment themselves, but would instead be covered by the state.

This law was clearly intended for retired soldiers, as well as the countless active soldiers now serving, and the many more young Romans who were reaching age and might soon be serving.

This kind of humane law was cheered and loved by countless civilians as soon as it came out.

They got excited...

After all, this also means that their children will not be forced to be conscripted in the future.

They completely understood this and liked it very much.

The fourth law that follows is the Public Utilities Law, which is derived from the Agricultural Land Law.

It is undeniable that if the Farmland Law is successfully implemented, a large number of civilians will regain their land.

But in addition to those who are born to be farmers, there are actually many people who have been soldiers for a long time and prefer the feeling of fighting on the battlefield rather than going home to farm.

Even if they really don't want to farm, we can't force them.

And now Rome has conquered so many countries and gained a lot of territories.

It's not a big deal to leave them all alone...

Since you don't want to farm and are still unemployed, let the government assign you a job.

With so much land, we must build ports, right? We must build roads, right? We must build cities, right?

Then we can use work as payment instead of credit. The state will pay for the construction and give you a job and a meal to eat.

"Is there such a good thing?!"
