    Nankam said so, and tried to break the telescope, but was stopped by Yuzai with a stare. He was frightened and couldn't move. Yuzai shook his head and said to Gudea, your subordinates are not obedient  , Damage to other people's property is a crime in the East.

    "This damn aristocratic politics, don't you need to pay for breaking other people's things? This is the telescope I use to measure mountains and rivers and observe astronomical changes. How can I measure geological and astronomical conditions if it breaks?"

    Concubine Zai was very upset. These priests seemed to feel that they had robbed them of their jobs, so tonight, there was actually no activity, but these people simply came to the palace to find fault and scold the streets?

    ?What the hell is it? Yes, you don¡¯t sleep at night and come to the palace to scold the streets. Don¡¯t you have to go to work tomorrow?

    Nancam was stared at by the concubine, and the binoculars were taken back. His complexion was very ugly, and he was slapped in the face in public, and he was such a strangely dressed person, which really made him feel very uncomfortable.

    I am a nobleman of Lagash, and the priests are the nobles among the nobles. People who serve the gods are second only to the king in status. Even though there are no gods now, the king is the new god they created, so their status  Also unshakable.

    The power of kings is granted by god and the power of kings is transferred, which has been the case since ancient times, including the carving of clay tablets, the writing and dissemination of poetry, the recording of knowledge, and the origins of many officials are selected from the priests in the temple.

    "He's not happy."

    Šu Zai pointed to Nankam and asked Gudea.

    Gudea smiled: "He is the priest of Lagash. Although he is not the highest high priest, he is also those who work longer among the priests. He is not only a servant of God, but also a servant of the king. They are Lagash  The noble ones are naturally superior."

    "They don't know you, maybe you can introduce your noble origin to them, King of the East?"

    Gudeya¡¯s words also hinted secretly, making Yan Zai reveal his identity, but Yan Zai laughed: "My current status is indeed noble, but my origin is not noble."

    "In our land, the king is the sage. The sage will appear in the cultivated land, on the coast, in the construction site of civil engineering, or in the stall of slaughtering pigs and selling wine, and more likely  slaves, or savages."

    "Accommodating talents and appointing talents to be kings, people all over the world will come to recommend him and examine him according to his behavior. When people all over the world say that he can become king, he should be king."

    Gudea was very surprised: "The power of the king descended from the sky, and the election of a new king is not much different from ours. After all, without the election and restrictions of other people, the power of the king will be monopolized by some people  ¡±

    "etc!"

    He suddenly realized something. After asking this question, Gudea immediately continued before waiting for Zai¡¯s answer:

    "Well, the eastern system makes me feel strange, but let's talk about this matter alone in the palace. This is not a place to talk, it's too noisy."

    Since Yan Zai and Gudeya communicated in the form of oracle, others could not know the conversation between Yan Zai and Gudeya, but could only hear Gudea talking to himself.

    And what Gudeya is aware of is the so-called meritocracy system. This system is not only a method to verify the identity of the other party, but also a window to see the Eastern society. Of course, there is another important point, that  This is what threatens his own rule.

    The political system and internal class struggle of Sudian city-state, all these changes were built on the ruins of the past clan system.  In the process of their growth, due to their different historical conditions, their political forms, that is, their political forms, are also different. Some are aristocratic republics, some are hereditary systems, and some are democratic republics or  monarchy.

    But there is one thing in common, that is, the Sumerian region. Although there are similarities with the later Greek city-states in ancient politics, they are more advocating heroism, that is, most of the rights are concentrated in the city-state leaders and nobles.  , priests, and royal hands.  The people have the right to make suggestions on the decisions made by the city-state, but they do not have the right to make decisions, and this matter is also a matter of the Gilgamesh era.

    Most of the city-state's parliament is composed of nobles and priests.

    At this time, the abdication system in the East made Gudeya feel a little crisis, because he was keenly aware of the key points in the "figure of the gods" in the concubine Zai.  The so-called "sages are in the fields, on the coast, among slaves, butchering pigs and selling wine, and in civil engineering.Among the ashes of the process.  "The point is the message expressed in this sentence.

    That is the origin.

    People of the East, choose the best and appoint the best, regardless of their background!

    This is impossible. If the Sumerian region follows suit, then the various systems of the city-state will collapse, and in the end it will even threaten the rule of the aristocratic status.

    That is to say, you can come from a lowly background, the worst is rebellion, and then you become a king, just like Sargon, the first king of the Akkadians, but you cannot destroy some old local systems. In fact, these  The system has always been beneficial to the king's own rule.

    The people are important, they are the cultivators of food and the source of soldiers for war, but the people are not important either, at least under the pressure of the nobles and soldiers, they appear too ordinary and have no sense of existence.

    Nobles must always be nobles. Even if the city is destroyed, the nobles are still nobles. At worst, a group of nobles have changed. This class has not disappeared. The social situation in the entire Sumerian region is still slavery, and it is still a combination of nobles and priests.  , soldiers and workers, farmers and fishermen, and then slaves.

    Yan Zai looked at Gudeya, seeming to understand what he was thinking, and Gudeya could only step back a few steps, and explained in a low voice with Yan Zai:

    "I am very interested in the eastern system, but now these words cannot be appealed in public, otherwise I will be besieged by the priests, even if I am not worried about my own status being deprived, I am also worried about whether someone will rebel because of it  to me."

    "How can the nobles be compared with ordinary people? Even if they choose the best, they must be in charge among the nobles and priests. If those commoners hold a lot of power, Lagash will be finished.  Let the priests and nobles who have lost their rights rise up to kill me and overthrow me."

    "In the past, there was a king who tried to break this boundary. When he was in power, what he did was called the Urukakina Reform. But he was overthrown in the end, and he tried to give those 'Suburukal (  Powerless class)' certain rights and knowledge, he even almost abolished the existence of slaves, but this is not what the nobles want to see."

    "To be honest, some of my reforms refer to this king, but regarding the fundamental system, I have no intention of changing it. King Urukakina actually betrayed his own aristocratic status."
