For ordinary agricultural civilizations, apart from the busy farming season, the length of time people work is actually not that long.
Mesopotamia was still a typical peasant society. The natural environment was not very favorable and agricultural cultivation was still in its early stages.
Therefore, everyone actually spends very little time working and looking after crops, and spends more time producing and selling daily necessities for themselves.
And what Susa did at this time, in simple terms, was -
Peasants, your capitalist grandfather is back!
The eight-hour work system is too long for people who originally only work three or four hours a day.
You have to work almost the entire day.
And you also need to pray to the gods.
The reason why modern people think this time is short is simply because they need to work more hours.
The eight-hour working system itself is a product of struggle and compromise.
He is the bottom line, but that doesn't mean he deserves it.
Seven hours, six hours, four days a week... As long as human production technology can be popularized, there are countless possibilities.
Unfortunately, there are always force majeure that prevents people from embracing such a life.
But it does not mean that humans should accept this kind of life.
At least in the eyes of the Sumerians, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Although Sousa's eight-hour workday does have some water in it, for example, there are other special regulations during busy farming seasons or for daily life needs.
But to others, it was really horrific and brutal.
Or it can be said that not only do you need to work three or four more hours a day, but you also need to study xx country every moment.
Even the tyrant Gilgamesh probably only required his subjects to work this many hours a day, or even less.
Slave owners must also cherish their slaves.
The same is true in modern times. Without considering famine and plague, the living conditions of factory workers in the 19th century, as the lower-level laborers, were much more difficult than those of farmers in the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, both Susa and Gilgamesh required their subjects to work almost all year round.
Therefore, outside the city-state, many people spread rumors about Susa, that is, they entered Salvia, and the entire Susa Federation would be forced to work all day and all year round.
God of slavery and work.
It is a respectful name for the prestige of Susa.
What Enkidu accepted was also Sumerian common sense.
Therefore, in Enkidu's eyes, Susa would be even more brutal under observation.
According to Sumerian common sense, Susa completely fits the image of a tyrant.
And in Enkidu's eyes, the most terrifying thing about Susa was that the people he enslaved could actually pray and work at the same time.
I can still laugh.
There's simply something wrong with the whole person.
Where in this world can people smile while working every day?
But listen to what Enzi said.
Sousa smiled.
No further explanation was given.
If the gods hadn't given me a hammer, I probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a feat.
By using the miracles of the gods, Susa could mobilize all his subjects and make them change their original production methods like a rocket.
And by filling the lives of his subjects with gods, he could further solidify his current contract.
Everything is a naked conspiracy.
Sousa didn't even give anything.
Got all of this.
This is the key to why the gods are terrified.
Enzidu came into being.
Seeing Susa smiling.
Enzidu nodded seriously and said, "Because Humbaba said so, and you showed it. This is one of the reasons why I identified you."
"anything else?"
Susa inquired.
"There are a lot more."
Enkidu's personality is extremely indifferent.
There are rarely excessive emotional fluctuations.
Therefore, he spoke slowly: "You actually allow your subjects to believe in many gods besides yourself and Ishtar, and the whole city is in chaos.
He simply doesn't take other gods seriously.
Such arrogance also fits with Humbaba’s story.”
"Then?"
Susa continued to ask.
There was nothing wrong with what Enqidu said.
Sousa still found it very interesting to listen to how others described himself.
Make yourself truly aware of your own position.
To other cultures and city-states living in Sumer, he was the real devil.
By the time the time comes, other city-states will have destroyed themselves.
Although in the eyes of many people, I may be a belief and a support.
But he will definitely be regarded as a bad person by the whole world.
Moreover, Susa was sure that no matter how much he developed, he would be destroyed.
It's impossible that the King of Heroes, the gods, human principles and the root of the Clairvoyance ex will not be able to destroy themselves by then.
Some of these are too joking.
No way, no way.
[You and Enzi talked for a long time.]
[You listen to Enkidu listing his crimes. Each one sounds like something that happened to someone else, but when you hear Enkidu's explanation, it's exactly the same as what you did.]
[After all, in the eyes of this world, except for those who trust you, everyone sees you as a representative of heresy. ]
[When people see you, they will think that you once rebelled against the king's order, and that after becoming a god, you will become a tyrant who conquers the world and enslaves others.]
[When the gods see you, they will be frightened because they cannot guess your thoughts and the current situation is turbulent.]
[Gilgamesh, the protagonist, has not faced you many times.]
[You are the most special existence in all of Sumer. ]
【You are humanity’s nightmare. 】
[You did not deny Enkidu's thoughts after listening to all his crimes. ]
[Enki looks up at you...]
"Sousa, can I call you that?"
"of course can."
Sousa nodded.
"Ah."
Enzidu raised his head, thought for a moment, and asked, “This is how I see you, and that’s why you are my destined one in my eyes.
But I still don't know what you want to do.
You conquered the old cities, but ended up not occupying them and making them slaves.
You ask everyone to pray to other gods, but there are still many people who still believe in you wholeheartedly. Other gods are just used like tools.
You clearly require everyone to work eight hours a day, but I saw smiles on many people's faces.
I……
Not sure what you want to do?
Humbaba said, I will guide you.
But I can’t.”
The puppets' words are always full of sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Susa turned around and looked at the city-state in the distance.
He smiled and said:
“I want to build a new world.”
Chapter 42: The Root? Die!
Come, come, come
The moment has finally arrived.
Generally speaking, when the villain is trying to recruit his subordinates, in addition to using force, he will also use a lot of ideological persuasion.
For various reasons, I agreed with the villain's ideas and thus became a villain as well.
A villain group needs a creed, and a good villain also needs the ability to convince others.
For example, in Pokémon, Team Rocket, Team Volcano, etc., all have their own philosophies and ethics. Gin in Conan also has the idea of devoting himself to the organization.
This is true of most charismatic villains.
In Sousa's opinion, he also needs it.
Whether it is destroying the world or saving the world.
Using the right way is despised, and using the wrong way is not recognized.
This should be the core of your current personality.
And in order to win over partners, a set of rhetoric should be used.
Enqidu asked what he wanted to do.
Then just say “I want to change the world”.
It sounds cool.
It doesn't feel overly evil, like it wants to destroy the world.
Most villains of this type also say "humans are too dirty, so the whole world needs to be cleaned up."
It's a pity that it's not suitable for the background of the Age of Gods.
And it is very likely that he will be assimilated by the protagonist.
Sousa didn't want to go all the way to the end, only to find out...
I'm super, I've become a restraining force!
It doesn't sound like the kind of middle school kid who says he wants to save the world.
