35. The Reign of Autonia - Exploration and Discovery, Issue 3
"Let us use our own hands to fight for the light of tomorrow!" - Famous quote from the Holy King of the Holy King of the Holy Emperor.
——————————————————————————————————
"The king... is the father of all peoples! The king exists for the welfare of all people!" Ortenia believed it deeply. Rome is now in a kind of poverty that is "abandoned" but not "all the people". On the disrepaired streets, begging people everywhere, and some cruel parents even bent their children's arms into an unimaginable arc, thereby attracting the attention of some of the few kind-hearted people... In such a city, every corner is the cry of beggars and the scene of fighting for a small piece of moldy bread... It is desolate and makes people cry.
Historians recorded the poverty and darkness of Rome at that time. In a world where people cannibalize people, poverty is a person's greatest original sin! But how many people are not classified as "poverty"? The answer is the old nobles! Therefore, the sacred king who loves the people as much as his son will lead the army to search the house!
It is impossible to verify how much wealth the Roman nobles accumulated, but for these nobles who occupied the pit and did not hesitate, Ottinia chose to expel them and ordered Rukius to take them and a small part of their living property to Eastern Rome! Of course, the real purpose of Rukius's trip was to dump Roman artworks that were used to look at! These useless artworks that needed maintenance were ordered to be dumped by Ottinia in exchange for real money and silver to build Rome.
The Romans naturally cheered and this was the first thing that Ottenia did after ascending the throne - raising funds!
In this way, a large amount of money flowed into the city of Rome, injecting a trace of life into this dying lonely city!
The people see hope!
Not only is this large amount of money flowing into the city of Rome, but more of the fact that Ortinia is small, but is an extremely diligent king! Historical books record - "The Holy King never rests... In other rulers squandering the legacy of our ancestors, our noble and holy Ortinia is doing the same work as ordinary people, even better than everyone does!"
This was confirmed in the excavation work of later generations. Although it was so incredible in the eyes of historians, historical books, murals, and people's oral descriptions clearly depict the creation of the king who is the most virtuous and diligent in human history.
The ruined city walls of Rome need to be repaired, and the Romans' homes need to be rebuilt even more. Ottoia did not rely on the people to build public facilities, nor did it cost a penny to invest in the construction of public facilities. It is said that the Holy King returned to the city of Rome alone carrying several tons of marble and started the construction work without stopping. He used a kind of architectural craft called "cement" to build the city walls, and the neatly cut marble were paved one by one. In less than a week, the city walls of Rome were stronger and taller than in any era in history! The tall city walls even blocked the sun's light, so under the city walls were buildings that emitted a lot of heat energy in blacksmith shops and bakeries.
Ottona restored Roman technology and had some innovations! A new and more convenient avenue began to be built, and bright flowers were planted on both sides of the road. The environment in Rome was surprisingly good, because under the ground of Rome is the newly built brass sewer!
Water conservancy projects are the most proud place in Roman history, because no country has such a complete water storage and water facilities as Rome! The brand new canal brings the rolling springs of the Tiber River. The water specially treated by the sewer channel has no impurities. Although Ortinia ordered that it could not be drunk directly, it was very sweet and clear. By the fountain in the city of Rome, children who returned home from school often gathered on the edge of the fountain to wash their sweat.
All of this was brought by Orentia! He ended the era of Rome's trade deficit. Although it lasted for hundreds of years, Orentia's invention and innovation broke such a deadlock. Rome has been in a favorable position of a trade surplus. People attribute all this to the light that guided them - the Holy King Orentia!
Universal compulsory education is the first recommended by Ordinia. Rukius once opposed this policy quite much, believing that it would drag down the fragile economy of Rome. However, Ordinia has implemented this policy without hesitation, stipulating that children aged 6 to 16 must enter the school regardless of gender!
"This greatly improves the quality of the whole people!" Historians always praise, "His Majesty Ortinia rejected His Excellency Prime Minister Rukius in this way - 'No country was dragged down by education!' Later Germany also gained the dominant position of Europe because of this! Because they also vigorously promoted popular education!"
Agriculture has always been a problem that every king has to face, but the Holy King handled it well. He wonderfully used the principle of the biosphere and carried out one manor-style agricultural production circle after another, allowing animal husbandry, agriculture and fishery to complement each other. Even so, most of the 120,000 people in Rome were still in a state of hunger, so Ortinia went to the ground to farm!
He worked without eating or drinking, and every day he could see his figure running around, either in the fields, repairing houses in the Roman city, or holding meetings... One person supported the development and revival of the entire Roman city! The Romans were moved. On the dark and windy night, the whole city picked up torches and searched for his figure. Finally, the sacred king was found in the mines outside the city. At this time, people discovered that the king was shining! Everyone could not believe what they saw, so they put out the torches and wanted to confirm that they could live up to their hopes. In the dark night, Ortinia was really shining and heating...
Stimulated by the king, people worked harder, but there were always some people idle in every era. For these bad groups, Ottori did not kill them like Clovi to maintain their authority. At the first harvest festival after the promulgation of the New Calendar, everyone was celebrating the harvest and sharing their own joys. 120,000 people gathered in the central square of the city of Rome, and there were thousands of people. Ottori was idle and began to cook for his people... The author had said before that Ottori's biggest advantage lies in cooking! It's really amazing. Even the food in the garbage dump can be used to
It turned into a first-class delicacy! People set up a large jar in the center of the square, containing special soup ingredients from Orentiana. The harvesters put their food this year into the jar. According to legend, as long as Orentiana is willing, he can conquer the whole world through his cooking! It can be seen how exquisite his cooking skills are... People can't resist the temptation of food, and looked up at the tall jar hungryly. Each jar was a different delicacy. When the king announced that everyone had a portion... When the pot was opened, the crowd was really exploded, and everyone abided by the law, and the person in charge of the spoon added rice and soup for themselves.
Finally it was the idle people who were idle. People stared at them with anger and secretly did not expect them to share the food in their hearts. But Ortinia handed the food to these scumbags with his own hands - "Originally this was the crystallization of everyone's labor, you have no share, but everyone present is my people, I am your king and the father of all people! I cannot ask every child to become a talent, but I cannot allow my child to starve and freeze! This is my portion. Please think carefully after you finish eating. Are you willing to sink forever, or use our own hands to fight for the light of tomorrow?"
His speech was very slow and gentle, just like talking to his own children. The person who took the plate trembled all over. He gritted his teeth, "Can we... I... really live like this?" His shoulders were trembling, as if they were afraid of something. Ottinya didn't expect him to react like this, so he patted his shoulder, and a warm light burst out from him-"You don't need to be scrupled... As long as I am still king and I am still alive, then I promise that all the people who follow me will see the true light belonging to you!"
Afterwards, the young man repeatedly refused to take the plate from Ortinia's hand, and therefore, a seed of light and hope was planted in his heart... Under the guidance of the king, we can definitely use our own hands to strive for a bright future!
