What did Caesar do to his enemies instead of killing them?
It depends on the enemy. If you are talking about enemies in battle, Caesar was one of the most terrifying leaders on the battlefield. Once a battle was finished, Caesar followed a policy of clemency for most. Although Caesar liked to define it as "mercy" as he often let the defeated keep not only their lives but their money and estates provided they did not take arms against him again. This was just not done on such a scale before Caesar. However, if the enemy had, in Caesar's eyes, proven to be false or had broken a previous oath not to fight, then it was either death or slavery. This is what happened to many Gauls who fought under Vercingetorix. In one siege, when women and children were allowed to leave and instead tried to trick Caear's legions, he had them all either put to death or sold into slavery.

Why does marullus scold the workers of Julius Caesar in scene 1?
In this scene of Julius Caesar, Marullus, enraged by their celebration of Caesar's victory, is scolding the commoners for their fickleness.
The rationale behind this scolding is simple: that not long before, these Romans had cheered on Pompey as he rode his chariot through their streets. Now they instead cheer for Caesar, who "comes in triumph over Pompey's blood." (I,i,51)
In addition to simply scolding them, Marullus also implies that the commoners need to repent lest they be punished for this disloyalty to Pompey when he says "Pray to the gods to intermit the plague / That needs must light on this ingratitude."(I,i,54-55) It should that this scene also demonstrates a disturbance in the hierarchical order, which Marullus tries to restore by implying that the gods will send a plague if the commoners don't behave.
