Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 522 Implement the Bank!

Next, Ye Tian began to seal hundreds of officials.

In fact, the positions of Baiguan were already known to the nobles during this period of time.

Therefore, when Ye Tian canonized his female slaves as officials with the highest status and full control of real power, the nobles did not say anything.

Although the people were puzzled, no one would question any of Ye Tian’s decisions, because now Ye Tian is the will of Rome, and his decisions represent the decisions of God and the approval of heaven and earth.

Some of the nobles have obtained official positions by running errands. Even so, they are still very happy.

After all, he is an official under the command of the God of War. Although the official is small, it is also a symbol of status.

After conferring the official position, Ye Tian started a feast for hundreds of officials, and announced on the spot that the whole world would celebrate together and hold a three-day flowing water banquet in Rome.

After this decision was announced, the people rejoiced and went home one after another to take out all their food, wine, and cured meat, and Ye Tian would reimburse them for the money.

At the same time, Ye Tian began to announce laws that were more reasonable, but more ironclad.

Among them, Ye Tian directly abolished the system of punishing nobility.

Although he did not abolish the slave system, he issued a “Slave Act”, which stipulated that no slave should be disposed of at will, and that slave owners had no right to kill slaves. Once found, they would definitely be severely punished. Very likely – likely to be buried.

At the same time, the slave owners must provide the slaves with absolute guarantee of the sound of life, and must have enough to eat and warm clothes.

At the same time, it is stipulated that the daily labor time of coolie slaves must not exceed 14 hours, and the offenders will be severely punished.

At the same time, it was stipulated that slave owners could not attack female slaves under the age of fourteen, and those who violated the law would be tried and severely punished.

At the same time, it is stipulated that after the slave owner and the female slave have a relationship, once the female slave is pregnant with the slave owner’s child, the slave owner must bear the responsibility of supporting the child and the mother.

At the same time, it is stipulated that female slaves do not need to serve other men except their masters, except voluntarily.

Although Ye Tian did not abolish slavery, the “Slave Act” he introduced absolutely guaranteed their human rights, especially female slaves. The “Slave Act” greatly safeguarded their human rights and dignity.

When the slaves learned that Ye Tian had promulgated such a bill for them, they burst into tears and were extremely grateful to Ye Tian. They couldn’t help kneeling down and kowtow toward the palace.

No one dared to refute the bill that Ye Tian personally implemented.

In Ye Tian’s words, although slaves became slaves for some reason, after all, sinful people should also have human rights, they are not beasts.

Sinners are directly sentenced to death, and they are not even qualified to become slaves.

Today you are high above, maybe one day for some reason, you are very likely to become slaves.

The three-day running water banquet made the people satisfied, and some people were directly drunk for three days and three nights, woke up and drank, and fell asleep.

The wave of Ye Tian’s ascension to the throne has passed, and the new system has begun to operate in Rome. As time goes by, everyone is slowly getting used to it.

Seven days a week, Ye Tian took two days to go to the morning court, and usually all the girls solved the problem by themselves.

Two months have passed, Rome is peaceful, everything is prosperous, and the crime rate in the city of Rome has dropped directly.

The gladiatorial arena in the city of Rome is opened almost every once in a while.

The main source of these gladiators were the felons.

For repeat offenders, the best thing they can do is become gladiators, train for a while, and then be put on the arena to please the people of Rome.

After another few months, various cities and towns in Rome have quietly built houses.

The buildings were named after the bank.

Yes, it is the bank!

Before Ye Tian decided to ascend the throne, he had already started the plan to implement a bank in this era.

By means of a bank, he will control all the wealth in the world in his own hands, and with the generous regulation of the Satan Chamber of Commerce, the economy of Rome will be firmly in his hands.

Therefore, Ye Tian’s bank is actually controlled by the Satan Chamber of Commerce.

When the news of the Roman Empire’s implementation of banks spread, the whole of Rome exploded.

･･･････････････････････････

The basic function of a bank is very simple, that is, deposits and loans.

Much more humane than loan sharks.

The most important thing is that it is really beneficial to the people of this era.

People don’t have much spare money, and they can’t use it for investment. If they hide the money at home, firstly, it will be unsafe, and secondly, it will not appreciate in value.

But for banks, it’s different. No matter how much money you have, you can save it, the bank will collect it, and it will give you a certain amount of interest, so they can see the hope of money making money.

Moreover, if the common people urgently need money, they can also borrow from the bank, and the interest on borrowing is really much lower than that of the nobles’ usury.

Every family has a certain loan limit. When people borrow money, they do not need to make mortgages until the limit is exceeded, and the principal and interest can be repaid on time.

If the loan amount is exceeded, the corresponding material mortgage can be taken out, and the loan can also be realized.

Therefore, when Ye Tian launched the banking policy, it was unanimously recognized by the people.

Because in terms of policies implemented by banks, all they see are endless benefits for them.

Save money with interest, borrow with low interest!

For the common people, this is definitely a move that benefits the country and the people.

Business people also recognize the existence of banks very much, because when their funds are not enough, they can also seek help from the bank at the cost of low interest and gain interest.

Of course, for those aristocrats with loan sharks, the appearance of banks really robbed them of their business.

But they think on the other hand, and they have a few loan sharks a year, it is better to deposit most of the money in the bank, with small profits but quick turnover, just rely on the interest of the bank , they can live a carefree life.

In short, when Ye Tian introduced the banking policy, the whole of Rome was very happy, and soon there was a terrible deposit frenzy, and the people all planned to deposit the remaining money in the bank.

Ye Tian has no plans to issue banknotes, at least not for the time being.

Because, the Romans now only recognize copper coins, silver coins and gold coins, and paper money does not bring them a sense of security,
