Chapter 12: The Scholars of Harlingus (Part II)
"So, tell me how you feel after your visit to Caesarea. β
Theodore sat down in front of Edora, drank a glass of his heart, and lay down on the back of his chair with a smile.
"It was an eye-opener. β
With such a sentence, the old man sighed that he was in this city that seemed to be reborn, and that everyone did everything that made him unbelievable, but seemed to be taken for granted.
At first, Idora simply thought that the architecture of the Romans was indeed very goodβclean and tidy roads, small two-story buildings everywhere, statues of art, magnificent Roman temples...... These are indeed very powerful, but they are nothing, after all, this is also the first city where the Romans lived, and it is normal to build beautiful and spectacular spots, and Idora, who knows a lot about human nature, knows a lot about that secret pride.
But he soon noticed that the city seemed to be a little strange, and looking around along the road, he suddenly realized to his horror: the buildings and roads of the city were all exactly the same!
The width of the road, the location of the building, the commercial street, the houses, the canal and the sewer...... And so on, as if the haode was planned from the beginning, all the houses are the same size, and the roads are even planned down to all the streets and alleys, as if every place is meticulous and follows the rules.
The whole of Caesarea reveals an indescribable "order".
At that time, he felt that the laws here must be very strict, otherwise it would not be possible to explain how meticulous they are and how they follow the rules. Then he began to worry deeply about the future of Haringos - the Romans were so strict with themselves, let alone Haringos as a foreigner?
Were the Harlingos, accustomed to ease and ease, able to accept Rome's harsh laws?
But soon, Edora dispelled her concerns. He found the answer he was looking for in the Roman temple - the Romans not only had strict laws, but also had a free quest for humanity.
Not a single belief but a belief in many gods, the stories depicted in the frescoes are also full of brightness and accommodation. Even if they do what they do in their hearts, since the stories of their gods are full of joy and strife, it means that their people are at least full of yearning for this kind of freedom from the heart.
For the soldiers who resolutely carry out their orders, the young people who dare to trumpet their views in the square, the scholars who indulge in the ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate themselves............ Idora's view of shijie in the first half of his life was suddenly broken.
He changed his mind and decided to go to Caesarea Academy first, and then visit Caesar before leaving, and the confused Idora desperately needed to find new knowledge to tell him that it was all weishenme.
What kind of doctrines, ideas, shijie views, history and customs have forged such a strange nation?
And in the academy, it happened that Theodore came to the library, so he had a long sigh.
"I seem to understand a little bit now, weishenme you're going to have that kind of remark. Idora lowered her head thoughtfully, and said in admiration: "Knowledge changes fate!"
Theodor replied without a red heart, although it was not his "famous saying", but it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing, as long as there was a haode result, it didn't matter who said it.
"I will engrave this sentence on the wall of the door of Haringos, so that everyone can see it, and I believe that as long as anyone wants to change their fate, they will be excited by it!" Yi Dora bowed long: "It has awakened me, and it will wake up more people!"
"I hope so. "I really don't know what to say, Theodore just made a beautiful blessing of his own.
"What are you here for? β
"Well," Edora shook her collar with a sullen sigh, "yes, some decent people in Harlingath, who want me to get more accurate information from you. β
"What is Harlingus in your eyes?!"
..................
"My people. Theodore replied calmly.
"What kind of people are they? property, serfs?"
"It's the people of Rome!" Theodore suddenly raised his voice, stood up righteously, and looked at Idora without the slightest hint of backing down: "The people of Rome!"
"I know you still have a lot of distrust of me, but I can understand that, after all, it is the leader of another nation who rules over you, but you should not doubt what I said! I am Caesar, and I will do what I say!"
"In Rome, there is no racial distinction, remember this sentence!" Diodore ended his speech.
"I wonder, then, what are the people in Rome?" said Idora, smiling and bowing her head, her eyes shining with curiosity, like a child desperate to know the answer.
"The people, both Rome!"
..............................

..........................................
"I-, understood. β
Bending humbly, Idora turned, said goodbye to Theodore, and walked out the door.
Holding on to the gate, Idora stopped, turned his face slightly, and looked at Theodore with only one eye: "If the people are Rome, then you, what are they?"
"I am Caesar, but I am also the first citizen of Rome. Theodore said faintly, turning away from him.
"So, I'm Rome too!"

Caesarea Academy, as its name suggests, is a public college with a strong faculty and a prestigious reputation.
As the only institution of higher learning in Caesarea, it has the largest library in the city (and of course, the only one), the most complete system, and all the scholars who teach are highly respected and trusted.
Compared with those schools that were only responsible for elementary teaching, and could only teach basic arithmetic (addition and subtraction), literacy, and fables, Caesarea College can be said to be perfected to the extreme: philosophy, debate, agriculture, mechanical theory, geometry, rhetoric, theology, ............ There is even knowledge about alchemy (an ancient physico-chemical combination).
Of course, the relative result is that the tuition fees here are not low at all. At the very least, the children of ordinary farmers cannot afford to study, and most of them will choose to inherit the family business, or go to the city to work, or join the army. Therefore, most of the people who study here are the "upper class" in the true sense of Caesarea, and the aspiring young people who are struggling for their dreams are removed, and the others not only learn useful knowledge, but also lay the foundation for future goals and meet people who will help them.
The school is also a small society.
Without excessive decoration and extravagant carvings, the whole college presents a kind of "neat beauty", with a simple school building and a bright library, a small open square and the surrounding flower beds, which become the most "atmospheric" building of the college.
Justice Domitius, who was over seventy years old, was the president of the academy in addition to his official position. In fact, in the eyes of most people, the latter is the old man's real main job.
The old man carefully selected among his students those who were truly morally and morally excellent, and gave them the qualifications to study jurisprudence, which in Rome was only considered to be qualified to participate in politics if they knew how to study jurisprudence and eloquence.
"Congratulations to you, my Caesar. The old man staggered and walked, the wrinkles on his face piled up: "You have found a really good dean!"
"It's rare to hear such a high opinion of you!" Theodore smiled with the corners of his mouth curled, "Your Excellency Domitius!"
"It's just a matter of facts. The old man shook his head very indifferently: "Mr. Edora's philosophical attainments have made many scholars who are proficient in this place ashamed of themselves!"
This probably has something to do with his chance, people who have been weathered will always have a better understanding of the relationship between shijie and people than people who have always stayed in the ivory tower. Theodore guessed.
"Perhaps!" replied the old man.
"Has he already left?"
"Already left. Domitius said softly, stopping his old body, "I took some manuscripts of the texts and left with a smile." β
"He must have gotten what she wanted most. The old man sighed: "It's really hard to imagine that a person who is over half a hundred years old can still maintain such a high level of enthusiasm!"
"That's because of love!" said Theodore, as if thinking of something.
"He loved his students deeply, and it was that deep love that kept people alive with an unquenchable passion. β
"And he has now brought this liliang to Rome, and left behind the seed, this is a haode beginning, Lord Domitius, don't you think?" Diodore smiled and asked the old man, "Before Rome showed its love, our people brought their love to Rome. β
"Of course. The old man replied with a smile: "This is the truly powerful Liliang." β
"A strong army, an advanced civilization, or a good commander are no match for this most elusive liliang, and this liliang is the foundation of everything. β
"Only love can make people strong, so that people always have unquenchable enthusiasm and motivation, people with liliang may be defeated, but they will never fall!"
"So, my Caesar. Domitius turned his head and looked Theodore in the eye: "Please let them love you!"
"Only then can you have an incomparable Liliang!"
