Chapter three hundred and twenty first lower class people
On the third day after the Frost Beast Troops entered the North, that is, the day after Annan announced the crimes of the Far North Brotherhood... Grand Duke Annan suddenly announced that he was about to marry his sister Maria Winter.
, went to Noah together for a state visit.
This operation was really too coherent.
So in the eyes of those border nobles, this was definitely a conspiracy that Annan had finalized in advance - after he succeeded to the throne, he dispatched the frost beast troops without warning and attacked the entire northern border, and immediately gave the plan the next day.
Extremely detailed evidence of guilt.
That is irrefutable evidence that no one can distinguish.
Even though they knew the truth of the situation, no one dared to defend it in the face of this mountain of ironclad evidence.
But seeing the new Grand Duke use such violent methods to violently destroy his opponents with physical means... This style of dealing with things that was completely different from Ivan caught them off guard.
Such courage could not help but make those border nobles tremble with fear.
What frightens them the most is Annan's age.
That is... fear of the future.
Grand Duke Annan has just turned fifteen this year, and his fifteenth birthday has just passed not long ago.
At this age, compared to the children of other nobles, they might not even be able to find a girlfriend, let alone inherit the family business.
And at this age, one can have such an in-depth understanding of the Principality of Winter...can know what they fear and what they yearn for. How will they spend the next few decades?
It's not that they were incapable of fighting back from the beginning.
Annan is not Dmitry.
He has never been exposed to the political situation of Winter, and the entire Principality of Winter is equivalent to a quagmire to him.
Once it goes deep, it will be difficult to extricate itself... Various complex situations that are difficult to solve and cannot be judged will greatly delay his time.
However, Annan was not involved at all.
He solved this troublesome problem directly from the outside.
Annan made a direct declaration that he was about to pay a state visit to the Kingdom of Noah——
This is the sweet date.
Especially in winter, winter people are very dependent on the import of supplies.
You must know that Noah is ahead of Winter in terms of military strength, economy, and culture. They are undoubtedly a powerful country... and even many people who ran away from Winter are working in Noah.
Although working in Noah is not likely to make you rich overnight like being a pirate in the United Kingdom, the advantages are stable income and fewer disputes. Silver Siren attaches great importance to contracts, which is for the winter people who tend to abide by the rules.
It can be said that it is quite familiar.
If something unfair happens in the middle of winter, their first reaction is generally to find a respected old man to resolve the case. If they can't find one, they can also go to their grandmother's priest to mediate.
In this social environment, people in winter care about social prestige.
They would rather die than die socially - in other words, they care more about face.
In Noah, there is a similar situation. If anyone violates the contract, the priests of Sir Silver will also intervene to maintain fair trade.
But in other countries, things are not so good.
Yaweng is indeed the god of art, but he is also the god of nobility. He can indeed set rules and reason, but what he talks about is the truth between nobles... that is, the "minimum minimum" that must be scrupled in political struggles.
face".
For example, you cannot add insult to injury to a loser who has already surrendered, you cannot harm your wife, children, parents, you are not allowed to come back to the table after you have failed, etc. While Yaweng is the most outstanding artist in the world, he is also an artist.
The greatest "godfather".
And the principles and rules he talks about have nothing to do with these winter people who have been exiled to this place and have nothing.
This is especially true for the Theocracy - although there is a righteous god like Mr. Yao who hates evil, there are also forces like the Thousand-Faced Fantasy Tower supported by Miss Good Luck, not to mention the Red Knight as the God of War.
And the cup-bearer as the god of blood and lust.
The Theocracy is a very safe place for the weak. The gods themselves roam the streets, and there are basically no "stories that happen in dark alleys" like Noah's.
But on the other hand... The Theocracy is a place that pays great attention to individual abilities.
If you have outstanding abilities, you will be competed by multiple sects. But if you don’t know how to do anything, then there is no possibility of being used as a chess piece...
In the Theocracy, there is a group of people called "herdsmen".
They are at the bottom of the entire Theocracy.
As we all know, the Theocracy is built on the Tower of Babel—a spiral earth like a mushroom and a giant umbrella that supports the existence of the Theocracy on the skyline.
However, the barrier does not only cover the upper part, but also protects the lower part.
Those who cannot reach the upper echelons of the Theocracy are the so-called "lower classes".
The Theocracy's floating island land is very tight, and there are even high-rise buildings similar to modern cities, and apartments like hotel rooms. Basically, it is completely impossible to use the precious land on the floating island for planting.
Or animal husbandry.
So where does the so-called "beef, a specialty of the Christian country" come from?
——It is under the floating island.
The Theocracy has a considerable degree of social welfare and a stable living environment. But corresponding to this is a very fast-paced life and high requirements for individual quality.
Those who have no special skills will not be accepted by the Theocracy.
When you cannot afford to buy a house, pay the rent, or have no friends or relatives willing to accept you, you will be kicked out of the Theocracy - beggars and underground gangs are not allowed to exist in the Theocracy.
The "church subsidy" is a personal subsidy that is independent of salary. It depends on how much value is created for the entire Theocracy... In other words, people who do not work will not receive a penny.
People who do not have a residence will automatically lose their citizenship in the Theocracy; and people who do not have a job will not have social benefits. People who have no job, no talents, and even no friends cannot be counted as citizens of the Theocracy.
Of course, they will not be deprived of their personal property... With the level of technology they have mastered, they can live a respectable life in other places. Or they can simply purchase a batch of advanced items from the Theocracy and sell them in other countries. The same
You can also sell it for a lot of money.
At least it's perfectly fine to live like a rich man in Noah or the United Kingdom, or to explore underground.
To the outside world, Theocracy's technology is no longer as simple as being decades ahead. The "best" equipment that the Diggers can provide is also imported from Theocracy.
——But they once lived in an advanced and peaceful Theocracy, and each of them became arrogant and looked down on other "incomparably backward" countries.
