Chapter 117: Pottery Fragment Banishment
1080 Universe. The city-state of Elia.
【Ding! The process of "Pottery Fragment Banishment Law" is initiated]
[The Council of 500 initiated a proposal on whether the citizens' assembly should vote on the banishment of pottery shards...... In order to get rid of the city-state from people who are too influential, and exile the politicians with tyrant ambitions]
[Elia Citizens' Assembly passed with 8,033 votes to enforce the "Pottery Fragment Banishment Law"]
[Zeno, the consul, exiled to Corsica for a period of 10 years, the exiled have no right to defend themselves, and must leave the city-state within 10 days]

Nobunaga Hato, while logging in to the three generations of Tecumse, complained about this idiot の decree.
When Zeno wanted to adopt this decree, Nobunaga was strongly opposed.
Zeno's reasoning is that "every citizen can express his or her political opinions and aspirations through pottery tablets, which is a broad consensus on the city-state of Elia." ”
"It is conducive to the elimination of those officials who do not protect the interests of citizens, and oppose actions that harm the interests of citizens."
"At the same time, it can restrain the behavior of citizens with high prestige and eliminate destabilizing factors, thus contributing to the stability of the country and the maintenance of normal order."
…………
Zeno's fate may have been the fate of the reformers.
In both the East and the West, the reformers who have been resolute in their shoes have not ended well in the past generations.
For example, Sia Bisman, Persian Prime Minister Amir Nizam.
Exile by the Pottery Fragment Law does not have any additional punishment for the exiled.
Compared to those reformers who were cut in half, torn apart, exterminated, and crushed their bones and ashes.
Zeno is already unfortunate in the middle.
…………
When Zeno was exiled to vote, he was once asked by an illiterate citizen to write Zeno's name on the pottery shard and throw it into a rattan basket.
Zeno wrote his name on the pottery tablet and asked the man why he had exiled the archon.
The man picked at his nose and replied, "No, why." I am a resident of the border area, and I usually shepherd sheep in the countryside outside the city. I didn't know this man at all, and I didn't hear him speak. ”
"But everywhere he is called the man of justice, the savior of the city-state of Elia, the great reformer."
"I'm tired of hearing it."
Zeno: "......"
………………………………
Exile period. Day 7.
Zeno finished his official duties and began to go home to pack his belongings, and during his two years as consul, the aristocratic philosopher's financial situation did not improve.
The money that Nobunaga had given to Zeno was used by him to buy slaves ——— Elia debt slaves who were sold to foreign countries.
In addition to simple rattan beds, clay pots and cutlery, and mountains of papyrus paper, Zeno's house is stacked.
Papyrus, a writing medium widely used by the ancient Egyptians, was made from the stems of papyrus that was abundant in the Nile Delta at the time.
Papyrus was used by the ancient Egyptians in 3000 BC and exported this specialty to ancient Mediterranean civilizations such as Ancient Greece, and even as far inland Europe and Western Asia.
The study of ancient manuscripts written on papyrus, or papyrus, was an essential tool for ancient Greek and Roman historians.
…………
The prosperity of the tobacco trade brought about by Nobunaga's handmade cigarettes did not bring wealth to Zeno either.
Although, according to the laws of the city-state of Elia, all public offices were unpaid, and the consuls were no exception.
However, it is still easy for an archon to divide some soup and improve his life between the city-state of Elia and the tobacco trade of Nobunaga Tobacco Co., Ltd.
…………
The third generation of Tecumsei brought the food and came to visit Zeno.
He took out several large and small clay pots, wooden saucers, and knives and forks from the thorn basket.
As a cooking puppet, the third generation of Tecumseh quickly completed the plating of these [Chrono Delivery] dishes.
On the table, there is a Neapolitan-style pasta, tonkatsu, Japanese salad, and finally a small clay pot with miso soup.
…………
Zeno drank the soup and began to slice through the hot tonkatsu and eat it in large gulps.
"The origin of this pottery banishment law is a square lecture, and you mentioned the dangers of cigarettes?" ”
Zeno nodded, he sprinkled the Japanese salad with vinegar, started stirring, and replied, "I saw it on the TV at Yangquan Restaurant." ”
Zeno was referring to NHK's evening news program "NHK 7 O'Clock News," which also denounced the dangers of tobacco when the RB smoking ban was a big social issue in 1980.
…………
Zeno took a large bite of the Japanese salad and said, "The news says that the disease caused by smoking costs the Ministry of Health 165 million yen a year. Killed 100,000 people. ”
"Don't worry. The average life expectancy in the classical world did not reach the age of the outbreak of cigarette-induced diseases......"
The average life expectancy of the ancient Greeks was estimated to be 20 to 30 years. The ancient Romans were 15 to 24 years old.
Zeno began to deal with the Neapolitan-style pasta on the wooden plate: "What about later? One day life expectancy will increase, and I have released Pandora's box in this parallel universe. ”
"If these 100,000 people [who die from smoking each year] survive and die, they will need more pensions and social security than medical expenses......
"So from the Treasury Department, it's better to keep the mortality rate right now. Cigarettes are also a big sponsor of various charitable causes......"
Zeno said solemnly: "We are talking about 100,000 deaths per year!" ”
"70% of public health funding comes from tobacco taxes!"
"The health care system can save so many lives. It is because these smokers voluntarily sacrificed themselves to save their compatriots. ”
"Smokers are the benefactors of the country!!"
Zeno: "......"
………………………………
【Ding! Two stars! 】
【Ding! Diners' comments: Neapolitan-style pasta tastes great, tonkatsu is a little greasy, miso soup is salty......]
Zeno finished his Neapolitan-style pasta and wiped his mouth: "According to the laws of the city-state, the next time I return to the city-state will be ten years later." During this time, the city-state of Elia will ask you. ”
Miyo Tecumseh asked, "You should be a tyrant." The Apache mercenaries will help you get rid of those bugs......"
Zeno lit a hand-rolled cigarette of Nobunaga, shook his head, took a puff of the cigarette, and said, "Ingratitude is the characteristic of a great city-state. ”
【Handmade cigarettes】
【Ding! Cooking: Awakening: Stress Relief
………………………………
This plane, Yangquan Restaurant.
【Ding! Nobunaga Hato: Log out! 三代の食理傀儡! 】
Nobunaga sat down on his seat, opened himself a can of Ebisu Sapporo beer, and drank half a can in one go.
After the Yamaguchi Baihui spokesperson incident, which led to a full upgrade of the system.
The first to complete the awakening of the special effects of cooking.,It's actually "Nobunaga の handmade cigarettes",
As the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant, Nobunaga Hatoshi was a little embarrassed.
…………
Speaking of brand ambassadors......
Ishikari Ya is going to launch a new drink in the summer.
Sauerkraut bone broth is a hot soup dish that is really not competitive in the summer. Nobunaga Hato's main product is pineapple ice as a summer drink at Ishikariya.
Nobunaga put down the can and made a phone call.
"Moses Moses! Lawyer Miki, Ishikari Ya's new drink needs a spokesperson. ”
