[Greek Mythology] Penglaiji Construction Team

The port is crowded.The citizens of Little Penglai took hoes and sticks and surrounded Troy's slave ship with water.They would have boarded the ship and chopped off the heads of the slave girls if Hector hadn't held him back at gunpoint.

Hector shouted: "This is your majesty's will, don't you listen to his orders?"

His words were of no use.

The folk customs in the Aegean Sea area are tough, and sometimes the rioting people even pull out the king to beat them, not to mention a slave ship.

Odysseus, who spread the news among the people, hid in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool, and from time to time pointed the way to the men who were rushing to the port.

Around the Aegean Sea, it is a glorious and sacred thing to put on armor and serve as a soldier.

The soldiers were originally descendants of nobles from various states. Even though they are now the new residents of Little Penglai, they still think highly of themselves. They would rather die than intermarry and reproduce with inferior races.

A large number of people rushed to the port, and Hector could not support it alone.

A middle-aged woman on the boat shouted: "Do it, cut the rope connecting the shore."

The woman was dressed in the tattered burlap clothes of ordinary slaves, and her expression and demeanor were calmer than the men under the boat.

She was quite prestigious among the female slaves, as soon as she finished speaking, several female slaves raised their knives and dropped them immediately.The boat with the broken rope slowly drifted away with the waves.

This annoyed Hector.

Once the slave ran away, he couldn't get any good wine.

Angry Hector turned the gun: "Fire the arrows and burn them to death with rockets."

Most of the residents of Little Penglai were his old subordinates, and they were still willing to listen to his command, so they pointed their arrows and crossbows at the bow of the traveling ship.

"Up arrow, draw bow, let go!"

Fire snakes pounce on slave ships offshore.

Fang Chengmu, who arrived in time, summoned a gust of sea breeze, blowing away their arrows.Another gust of sea wind blows and blows the slave ship back.

Hector quickly put the rope on the boat again, and he never wanted to get involved in the bad things of Little Penglai: "Dear King, I have handed over the slaves to you, and from now on they will be dead or alive and I will never have anything to do with you." coherent."

"Thank you, Prince, for your help. From then on, they are citizens of my little Penglai, and their life and death are under my protection."

Fang Chengmu handed over fifty cylinders of wine to Hector as promised.

Hector almost knocked over the wine jar in his arms: "They, citizens?"

Even women who were not slaves in Troy had no citizenship.

In Hector's eyes, they are at best more valuable property than cattle, sheep and slaves in a grown man's family.

Odysseus mingled in the crowd and shouted: "Our king is possessed, and he wants to make slaves become citizens, and they are still weak female slaves."

All of a sudden, the group of men exploded, and protests erupted one after another.

Odysseus squeezed his nose again and shouted: "What is the reason with the king of the devil? Capture him and send him to the temple of Apollo. Then smash the big ship by the sea and throw the slave girl of the devil into the sea. "

The irascible citizens were provoked, whooping, whooping and rushing towards the king and the ship.

Fang Chengmu can even beat the gods of Olympus, and he is not afraid of these ordinary people's troublemakers at all.But when a wave blows, they will surely die without a place to bury them.

However, Fang Chengmu didn't want to hurt his people.

It is not difficult to throw citizens into the sea to feed fish, but it is not so good to affect the construction of a thousand-person state.

Intimidate people with force and convince people with virtue.

To be the king of a city-state, you must not fight and kill like you used to cut mobs in the wild.

Fang Chengmu opened the umbrella, held the handle of the umbrella and jumped into the air.

Against the dazzling sun, the golden crown shone with unbearable light.

The crowd erupted in exclamation: "Only a god can fly into the sky, and our Majesty is a god!"

The distance between God and man is the distance between the sky and the earth.

No mortal has ever been able to go to heaven, not even the demigod Achilles.

Even if the tough citizens dared to pull the king down, they would not dare to violate the dignity of the gods.

Odysseus was still pinching his nose and coaxing: "Calm down brother, you may not be a god if you can fly to the sky. If you shoot him with an arrow, you are not a god if you can shoot him down."

The sharp-eyed little Cupid picked out the instigator: "Hey, talkative King Ithaka, I'll let you become a god too."

Cupid is small but strong.

People saw Odysseus lift him up to the sky quickly, and then threw him into the vast sea.

Cupid proudly showed off: "Who else is going to be a guest at Poseidon's house?"

None of the remaining rioters dared to take up arms and make trouble again.In front of the gods, they can only beg for mercy with words.

Cupid couldn't wait to match the men and women, so he said to Fang Chengmu, "Quickly get the slaves on the ship down, the industrious God of Cupid is about to work."

Fang Chengmu looked at the men on the ground with clenched teeth and dissatisfied faces, and then at the worried and frightened women at the bow, and always felt that forcing the two to marry was not a good thing.

The great king cleared his throat and let the wind carry his voice to the ears of his subjects.

He said to the men: "Little Penglai bachelors, you would rather be widowed and die of old age than marry a kind woman. Please speak out your reasons loudly, and the just gods will untie your knots."

He then said to the women: "Girls from Troy, come to the land of Little Penglai, you are citizens who can speak. Stand up and defend your dignity, so that short-sighted men will not underestimate you."

The man recommended Pandarus, the archer originally from Troy, with a bow and arrow bestowed by the Sun God on his back, and he was the man closest to God among the crowd.

Standing up from the other end of the woman was the young woman who had ordered everyone to cut the rope just now.

The men chanted the name of Pandaros to support him, and the women also wanted to cheer, but found that they couldn't call the leader's name.

Slaves don't have names, but if the masters want to call them to do things, they will only have a title like "that long-haired slave girl".

Fang Chengmu told the middle-aged woman: "Ma'am, you are already a citizen, you should give yourself a name."

The woman sighed excitedly: "My kind king, the long hard labor has made me forget my real name. I was born in the Lesbos Islands in the west. You can call me Lesbos."

"Very well, Mrs. Rice. I've got your name."

Finally, there was a unified slogan on board the female slave ship, and the name of Lesbos circled the sea.

Pandaros sneered and said, "The inferior races can't turn the world upside down even if they have names. They are born to kneel at our feet."

His countrymen joined him in the mocking laughter.

Mrs. Rice confronted her tit for tat: "Didn't Heramo also sit beside Zeus when the gods discussed matters on Mount Olympus? Don't you also kneel at the feet of the goddess when you sacrifice to Athena?"

Cheers erupted from the female slave ship, but the men were silent for a moment.

Pandarus, who was said to be the key, became furious, took off the arrows on his back, and drew his silver bow.

The arrow left the string, the wind sounded, and it shot down a seagull flying in the sky steadily.

Pandaros swung his bow: "Weak female slave, who of you can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps like me?"

No one on board the slave girl dared to respond.The arrows of Pandarus were blessed by Apollo, and even the battle-hardened warriors couldn't hit them with perfect accuracy.

Lesbos unhurriedly picked up the seagull that had fallen from the deck, and drew out the sharp arrow that pierced the waterfowl's wings.

Her words were full of confidence: "General Pandaros, who is highly skilled in martial arts, look carefully at the arrows on your back. Are there semicircular circles at the ends of the arrows?"

Pandaros never paid attention to these details.Take the arrow and examine it carefully, and it is exactly as Mrs. Rice said.

Pandaros didn't care: "Even if it has this logo, it's nothing."

Lesbos said: "Your sharp arrows are from our hands. Maybe you abandon the arrows and use the longbow to defeat the enemy?"

The men looked at the arrows on their backs one after another, but they couldn't find an arrow without a circle.

Indeed, all the arrows in Troy came from slave girls.

Pandarus threw the arrow and the silver bow to the ground angrily.

Fang Chengmu saw that the man had nothing to say, so he made a verdict: "Those who eat the fruit will cherish the tree, and those who drink the water will think of the source. Brave men of Little Penglai, your illustrious military exploits are inseparable from the work of the girl. I declare them to live here, equal citizens like you."

The male citizens were dejected again and again.

Female citizens cheer for victory.

Lesbos silenced the crowd, and continued with the petition: "My merciful king, we appreciate your kindness. But we cannot live with them yet."

"Does Mrs. Rice have any other concerns?"

"Even if the proud men are forced by your power, they will not be friendly to their wives and children in the future. Close the door and separate the wall, and they will treat us as slaves."

Feeling the tragic fate of the family in the future, the women lowered their heads one after another.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework.Fang Chengmu couldn't do anything for a while.

Mrs. Rice said: "We simply live separately for the time being. One for men and one for women. We will make plans later."

Pandarus was most afraid of filthy slaves polluting his noble residence, and led the men to agree desperately: "Yes. Live separately, live separately!"

The men live at the foot of the mountain, and the women live at the side of the mountain.Each planted their own fields, and each raised their own cattle and sheep.If we don't do something, the two villages can really stay away from each other for a lifetime.

To be a king is to be a month old.Make fellowship for men and women who live apart.

Fang Chengmu felt a headache.

According to the drawings left by Apollo, Fang Chengmu built an amphitheater by the sea.

In addition to acting, the theater can also be used to run schools.

Concept change needs to pay close attention to education.

In the past, the illiterate female slaves paid special attention to the opportunity to study.

The king's decree spread to the village, and the girls scrambled to occupy seats in the theater to attend classes.

The men don't appear to be active at all.They can read and write to some extent, and they don't care about those things.

The new consul Dionysus was sent to persuade them.

Dionysus took his good wine and swore halfway through, "I'll tell you some inside news. His Majesty the King is going to teach you a new poem."

Poetry is the most sacred language in this land, the language that communicates gods and mortals.Therefore, Odysseus, who often exported poems, was especially favored by the gods.

Whether they are Mycenaeans or Trojans, the sons of nobles learn a poem or two from an early age in order to pray to their patron saints.

If you change a country, you must have a new patron saint.That is to say, a new poem.

Everyone believed that Dionysus was telling the truth.

Dionysus continued: "If the girls learn poetry first..."

The male citizens shuddered.

People who can't read poetry are people who can't communicate with the gods, and they are the abandoned sons of the gods.

The reason why the nobles of the city-state are nobles, and the reason why slaves are slaves, is because slaves cannot read poetry.

The arrogant Pandaros said disdainfully: "Stupid female slaves will not be able to read poetry even if they study for 100 years."

Dionysus was drunk, and his mind was not confused at all: "I heard them reading when I passed by the theater yesterday."

The men became vigilant one after another, and formed a team to go to the theater to find out whether the women could read poetry.
