Eight minutes later, Zhen Cheng already had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the social environment in the lower city of the capital of King Fanbai.
The people who really stand at the top of power here are the four gang presidents. Like Minion, he is essentially one of the younger brothers of Mr. Farmer of the Sheji Gang.
To Zhen Cheng's surprise and realization, the spheres of influence of these four guild presidents were not divided according to the four major directions of the city: southeast, northwest, and southeast. Instead, they were intricately intertwined based on the guild's population and rank.
The unclear interweaving of power territories means conflicts and contradictions that are difficult to suppress. This is a security risk that the superiors cannot tolerate in any normal and stable society.
But this is a unified universe where the gods do not care about the human world, and it is also the capital of the Vanbaea Royal Court, the leading force of the chaotic evil camp. After thinking about it carefully, the current situation seems to be very reasonable.
Zhen Cheng interrogated in detail because she knew that it would be extremely difficult to find clues to the [World Fragments] quietly in a place like this.
Not only does she need to break in and use the power of local forces to help her search, but she also needs to create other big things to divert the attention of some interested people.
All of these are relatively long-term tasks that require a large net to be opened and laid out slowly. Perhaps this is the reason why Qu Yun has been training her to play Yuyan chess during this period?
Among the four major gangs, Mr. Falme's Sheji Gang governs the entire agricultural population, and also carries with it forestry, fishery and other related resources and food industries.
This is why his men, such as Minion, were called grain collectors.
Old Walker's labor gang controls the entire industrial population. Like the Sheji Gang, both are organizations that directly serve the uptown area, so their status cannot be shaken. They are the type that will send people to take care of it if there is a problem. They have equal positions.
of stability.
The third Lord Logist is the president of the caravan, in charge of transportation, logistics, postal services, material distribution in the lower city, and some secret intelligence work.
Unlike the previous two presidents, the area this guy is in charge of has nothing to do with the upper class bosses. No one cares about him, and he has far fewer subordinates than the previous two bosses.
But since the actual handover of supplies is handled by his people, it is actually this guy who has the closest relationship with the upper-level forces. He also serves as the informant in Shangcheng District.
In other words, although the God Lord and even the top-level royal court don't care about things in the lower city at all, people in the upper city will still pay some attention to basic living supplies.
It’s just that the vast gap has led to a high concentration of living resources. In most basic areas of people’s livelihood, the upper-class urban areas are close to a state where everyone gets what they need. There is no interest chain that causes them to let the lower urban areas have their own way.
The last craftsman's gang under Ms. Geisha controls the entire service industry population in the lower urban areas.
The former three major gangs have various interest disputes in various gray areas, and even develop into large-scale armed battles from time to time.
But the Artisan Guild, which was the weakest and had the smallest population, overcame them all.
Ms. Geisha rarely gets involved in violent disputes, but with her excellent social skills, she can navigate among the three major forces with ease. Her geishas, chefs, doctors, and servants live the most prosperous life in the lower city.
This four-category occupational classification of the population may be very different from Zhen Cheng's hometown, but under the social structure of the capital of Vanbaea, this is the most reasonable situation.
Interestingly, there are no specialized business gangs in lower-class urban areas.
The Sheji Gang and the Craftsmen Gang each centralized and coordinated the distribution of their own products; Old Walker only handled transportation for a fee; and Ms. Geisha provided all service activities that might be needed from the poor to the upper class who occasionally deigned to travel.
The one-stop monopoly of production and sales within the major gangs has formed the foundation of their unique social system in which they jointly control real power in the city.
This kind of gang governance divided by occupation type is not the household registration system on earth, but all production resources and product sales are centralized and controlled.
No one stipulates that you have to join a certain gang, but if you don't join a gang according to your job type, there is no way to exchange for daily necessities.
Skilled lower-level civilians can change jobs according to their own needs. No one cares about this, as long as you can do it well.
But if you want to go beyond the scope of the four major gangs, such as to engage in scientific research or occult experiments. Unfortunately, you have no way to maintain basic daily expenses in Xiacheng District.
This is also not a hard ban. Whether you want to study atomic bombs or ancient forbidden spells, no one can stop you. But if you don’t even have basic learning resources, what can you do with the masters in the upper-class urban areas who have been studying these high-end arts since childhood?
Are they competing?
You must know that there are no schools or teachers in the lower city of the capital of Vanbaea. Even if a rare genius is born in the lower city, I am afraid that his first goal is to sublimate his realm in order to be eligible to immigrate to the upper city.
Going to study in the Shenli Grand Library and joining a research institution where many elite minds gather, isn't it better for him to immerse himself in tinkering?
"I've told you everything I know! Please spare my life, Master Mage!" After answering Zhen Cheng's question, Minion clasped his hands and knelt down.
Although this person is reckless, he is not completely brainless. First of all, both evil stars are women. The taller one just revealed that he wants to protect the little girl he snatched. Maybe he will do something on a whim.
The people have been eliminated.
Secondly, what the short person asked was really scary. They were all about the division of power and the structure of power. Even an adult could see that she wanted to cause trouble. As for herself, who revealed that it was completely impossible for ordinary people to understand the intelligence...
…
Zhen Cheng ignored Minion's plea for mercy and directly picked up the phone and said: "Misha, I want to use the opportunity to ask for help. Help me investigate all the information about the four major gangs, can you do it?"
The answer came in real time from the receiver. Misha had been paying attention here as she said. This time, she used Zhen Cheng’s own voice:
"All the members of the four major gangs include almost tens of millions of people in the entire Xiacheng District. Although your opportunities for help are not limited to one person and one thing, the minimum size standards still exist."
Zhen Cheng nodded, this was not beyond her expectation. This question was just a test. If Misha really handed over the detailed information of tens of millions of people, it would be her turn to have a headache:
"Understood. Then I need detailed information about all the top leaders of the four major gangs, especially the handles and conflicts between them."
"One minute, I need to do some cross-checking." Misha's answer was crisp and clear. This chapter has been completed!
