Chapter 432 Liu Tiezhu(2/2)
After a brief polite exchange with Machius, Liu Chan led the strong man out of the living room and returned to his residence.
Inside the house——
Liu Chan was sitting in the upper seat, and sitting next to him was Queen Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang looked at the strong man in front of him curiously and asked Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, who is he?"
"A ferocious beast!" Liu Chan said with a smile.
"Eh!" Zhang Yang was a little disgusted, saying to himself that this man was tall and thick, and he didn't know why His Majesty brought him here.
But Liu Chan ignored Zhang Yang, looked at the strong man, and asked calmly: "What's your name?"
After Deng You translated, the strong man babbled a lot, but Liu Chan didn't understand a word of it. It wasn't until Deng You translated his words that Liu Chan shook his head helplessly.
"Change your name!" Liu Chan said: "His name is too unpleasant. From now on, if you follow me, he will be called Liu Tiezhu!"
The strong man’s original name was ‘Sotand Salino Gass’. Liu Chan could have just called him Gass, but since he had bought him, he had to give him a Han name.
Liu Tiezhu——
This name suits him very well. Looking at his muscular body and strong body, he is perfect to be a bodyguard.
When he returned to Marcius' house before, Marcius had told him that most of these gladiators were lowly slaves or prisoners of war.
However, those who want to enter the Colosseum are not ordinary slaves. Most of them have their own characteristics, such as being extremely powerful.
Generally, nobles will buy them and then serve as their bodyguards.
Because they can be bought by nobles, some of them can even change their destiny. Therefore, after these slaves are bought, they will follow their masters wholeheartedly and are willing to die for their masters.
Alas——
Is this the so-called hardworking society?
It should be.
After Deng You finished explaining Liu Chan's intention to change his name, Gass nodded with satisfaction, saying that he liked the name very much.
Immediately, Liu Chan said to Deng You: "I will give you three months to teach him some simple Chinese!"
"No!" Deng You responded hurriedly.
Liu Tiezhu was a little confused, why did this Oriental buy him?
He had heard about the Easterners. It seemed that they defeated the arrogant Persians east of Rome a few years ago.
And——
I heard that after the Easterners defeated the Persians, they established a new kingdom on that land called the Ming Kingdom.
The Ming Kingdom abolished slavery.
This was a bit speechless for the Romans.
As a noble, how can you live your life without slaves?
Of course, for the people at the bottom, they envied the Persians because they were still slaves in the Roman Empire.
After Deng You left with Liu Tiezhu, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why did you take him with you?"
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that those who are not of my race will have different hearts!"
When Liu Chan heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yang'er. I bought it and it changed his life. Besides, he didn't know that I was the emperor of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Chan was not worried about whether there would be any danger if he had a Roman with him. Instead, he felt that bringing Liu Tiezhu with him might be of great benefit to his understanding of Rome.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor!" Zhang Yang said very cautiously: "Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else. Your Majesty should be more careful."
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
The next morning, Liu Chan, Xu Shu, and Zhang Yang walked onto the streets of Rome, accompanied by Liu Tiezhu, Tian Mu, Tu Lianhu, and of course the translator Deng You.
On the carriage, thirty-nine-year-old Zhang Yang looked like an innocent child.
"Husband!" Zhang Yang pointed to some buildings on the streets of Rome and said happily: "These houses are so beautiful."
Liu Chan shook his head slightly. It was not their first day in Rome. They had also visited the streets of Rome twice, but every time Zhang Yang came out, he would praise the architecture of Rome.
"Yang'er likes it?" Liu Chan asked deliberately.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I like it. Living in a house like this in summer, I don't feel hot at all."
It turns out that this is the case. After hearing this, Liu Chan realized the reason why Zhang Yang had been praising Roman houses. It was because the main buildings in Rome were made of stones, unlike the houses in Chang'an City, which were basically civil structures.
"Since Yang'er likes it so much -" Liu Chan paused and said seriously: "When we return to Chang'an, we will let the people demolish all the houses and rebuild them like the Romans."
Liu Chan originally thought that Zhang Yang would say yes, but Zhang Yang quickly shook his head and said: "Husband, no, my Han people have become accustomed to the current lifestyle. Husband, you cannot change it at will. Besides, such a large-scale change will be too laborious for the people and money."

Huh——
As expected of a queen, she never forgets her identity wherever she goes.
Even when faced with things she likes, she is still very measured in terms of the stability of the country.
After crossing the main street, I turned into a few small alleys.
The main street here is not as prosperous as before, and the clothes of the people on the street are also much poorer. Just entering this street, which is not very wide and full of garbage, Liu Chan chose to get out of the car and walk.
This area is a slum area of Rome.
Liu Chan has long wanted to come over and take a look.
Because if you want to know whether a country is strong or not, you can actually go to its people and see how the people at the bottom live.
I bought Liu Tiezhu yesterday, and Liu Chan asked Liu Tiezhu early this morning.
What was the life like for the common people in Rome?
Liu Tiezhu made an introduction to Liu Chan. According to Liu Tiezhu, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Roman city is very large. The nobles live a life of fine clothing and fine food, but the people at the bottom, even if they are not slaves, have a rough life.
Very bad.
In order to survive, many common people had to sell their children to the wealthy nobles and let them work as slaves for the nobles.
Oh my god——
Liu Chan couldn't believe it, because all the towns in the Roman Empire he passed along the way west looked very good.
Why is it that Rome, the capital of the country, is not as good as other towns?
No, I have to go take a look.
