Arrived at the imperial capital

In the shame of public execution, Gun Flame embarked on a journey

The train drove towards the south, crossed a large plain, crossed six rivers, left a big city, and finally arrived at the center of the empire. Two thousand years ago, six thousand years ago, this city was still a small fortress against the southern desert nations. With the continuous rise and expansion of mankind, and the development of productivity in the steam era, the remnants of the world's religious era gradually crushed the corners of the continent.

#

The city of St. Soc, with a total population of 600,000, is located in a river fork and a crossing of six railways. After hundreds of years of construction, the city's buildings are all cement cities, with huge chimneys standing on the edge of the city.

The city is divided into more than 60 districts. Each area was expanded on a castle. Thousands of years ago, there were a series of fortress groups. Of course, there are basically no traces of castles now. The brick and stone walls have long been covered with cement. Each castle area has also expanded dozens of times. In the wide wall area, these castle areas have become semi-independent areas.

#

More than 60 areas are divided into factory areas, military areas, machinery areas, commercial areas, and palace areas. Each area has landmark buildings.

In the center of the commercial area is a statue of a goddess that is 70 meters high. The statue is surrounded by shops and buildings that are like steps. There are endless carriages.

The military zone is a 60-meter-high five-ring tower. The center of the tower is a huge chimney, and the tower has a turret. It has good observation and attack functions. Around the five-ring tower are various military buildings and military warehouses.

Of course, the most important area in the city is the palace area. The palace area is not the palace where the imperial emperor lives alone. It has schools, administrative buildings, and residences where the nobles live. There are three palace areas in the entire city, among which the palace area is located in the center of the city. The landmark building is a large astronomical clock tower of 20 meters high. The top of this clock tower is a celestial simulator composed of metal rings with a diameter of 20 meters.

The metal balls of the ladder represented by the metal ring are rotating accurately. Each metal ball can make a crisp sound, and each metal ball has different sounds due to its different materials. At the same time, the crisp bells of the city sound over the entire city.

#

However, no matter which area there is a high wall, there is a link between each area and the traffic system spanning the same as an overpass. These cement bridges are 30 meters high and cannot be climbed by people under the bridge, while the intersections of the bridge are all within the walls of each area.

Yes, this city is divided into two worlds. Inside the walls of each area is the upper world, and outside the walls is the lower world composed of merchants and petty citizens.

#

When Binghe got off the train, a large group of imperial military police immediately isolated the train station. They cleared a road for the nobles on the train. The clear road was the slope leading to the overpass. Binghe walked up the slope of the elevated bridge and looked at the bustling under the slope wearing ordinary wool-wool clothes. Binghe saw them pushing each other and an inexplicable feeling appeared. Suddenly a word emerged in Binghe's mind - the word "class" emerged so suddenly that Binghe was stunned. However, after careful consideration, he could not figure it out and had to give up.

The rights of this world are controlled by a few people. Only the old aristocrats with a long magic system and the new aristocrats in military industry are the ones who share the cake in this world.

#

In the lower urban area, there are many wealthy people. At the place leading to the high-rise bridge, some families with obviously seemingly a large number of servants came to the platform and sent the well-dressed children to the platform. These adults and the military police on the platform were chatting each other, shook hands quietly, and bribed them in their cuffs.

These rich people are all business classes that started by petty citizens, and they are also in money. Some merchant groups that resell freight and slaves are quite amazing in terms of financial resources. But they are useless in this world. They cannot get involved in the power class.

In fact, this is the case on the earth. Those top classes are no longer comparing with the numbers of money, but rather controlling those key industries.

The unimportant but huge amount of money is available: the luxury goods industry and the service industry have a large number of wealthy people, but these wealthy families are facing invisible crises and will face bankruptcy crisis once the economic turmoil is turbulent. However, industries related to military agriculture do not need to worry about this problem, there is a gold medal for avoiding death.

Therefore, many large enterprises and government cooperation projects must participate even if they make little profit. It should be considered safe to participate in the ruling system. If they are separated from the ruling system, the more money is just a number. As for the mentally retarded operation of escaping abroad with money, it is only due to the speculation of the common people. In China, some people are worried about being ugly. There is no need to worry about the public opinion that is already an exorbitant and hates the rich.

#

Rich people in business activities on earth can use public opinion tools to denounce the government.

But it does not exist in this world. The nobles have the absolute power of life and death. The imperial nobles have mastered the military-industrial system, the food system, and the national transportation system. Moreover, the great nobles and the imperial emperors have formed stable political rules and jointly monopolize. Once a financial crisis occurs, a group of rich people will be dealt with amid the praises of the civilians at the bottom.

Therefore, the rich people dressed in bright clothes that Gun Bingke saw on the overpass were all timid.

#

And this world needs two paths to reach the upper level.

Article 1. Military merit accumulation. Seven hundred years ago, the Gun Flame family initially accumulated military merits and entered the upper class, and then accumulated again two hundred years ago, and acquired the important functions that now control the military production in the northern empire.

The second is the establishment of the new magic system. The new magic system has been continuously improved over the past 10,000 years. Although only the nobles with profound knowledge have mastered the system, the exploration of the lower level will also accumulate the inheritance of lower-level professions in two to three generations. Of course, the exploration of the lower level also provides a large number of professionals for the empire. It is the basis of the imperial violent system.

These two paths develop at the same time. If you want to become a noble, you will need at least ten generations of people. Even if you cannot become a noble, the rich people in the civilian class will still train their children with the best educational resources and try to send them to the upper class.

"Neither Miss Kofi, kind Master Bingke, your carriage is at the front, please let me lead the way for you." When a military captain came over on the overpass just now, he was walking with a quick-moving technique, wearing a few dozen kilograms of metal armor, wrapped in canned iron.

During the sliding process, the armor did not have any collision sounds, as stable as the power armor fixed by the screw mechanical system. The military captain belonged to the lower intermediate professional. He has used multiple magic to act as the armor system in the army as a grassroots non-commissioned officer, and controls traffic in the city. He is domineering when maintaining order below.

However, when facing Long Kofi and Binghe, he still maintains absolute humility. This is because of his noble status.

Although on the train, Binghe's self-report was to be done, Kofi's Guardian Knight, causing a very embarrassing scene.

But Long Kofi was not dissatisfied, but immediately insisted that Binghe made a noble promise. He also asked the retainers on the side to make a challenging attitude to draw their swords, making it a certain fact.

For the socialites, the knights who are willing to protect are nobles. For Kofi, this can better reflect his identity than any precious jewelry. Binghe belongs to the green leaves delivered to him.

#

Now Binghe's eyes followed the gestures of the military police and realized that the carriages parked on the overpass were different. At the front row of the convoy were gorgeous carriages, and at the back row were ordinary carriages. Thinking of the young people queuing under the bridge now, Binghe suddenly understood that the cars on this bridge were not just randomly, but in order. Systems and levels were reflected in all aspects of the world.

The coffi and his servants got on the first carriage. The carriage was made of stainless steel, with white ceramic as the shell of the car body and silver silk chains as decoration. This was the most luxurious vehicle in the entire fleet and also the vehicle allowed to ride in the system.

#

After getting on the car, they sat down separately, but soon the few people looked at Binghe, because the position beside Kofi was empty. Binghe was stunned and looked at the knight who was originally beside Kofi. The knight also looked at Binghe. After staring at her for a while, the knight came over helplessly and whispered to Binghe, "Young Master Binghe, you are now the guardian knight of Your Highness. You should guard her side."

Binghe was stunned for a moment and looked at Kofi. Kofi tapped his fingers gently, but his eyes were looking out the window. Binghe paused, and then moved to the position beside Kofi, but his body's center of gravity was unconsciously deviating from it. Of course, Binghe quickly realized his performance and said to himself: "Am I shy?"

Kofi moved his eyes back from outside the window. The right Binghe said, "Hi, this is your first time in the imperial capital."

Binghe nodded, Kofi: "I think you are very interested in the imperial capital. After getting off the train, I kept watching around. Do you have any ideas?"

Binghe thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, is the status of a nobleman very important in the emperor?"

The atmosphere in the car paused, everyone looked strange, and after Kofi stroked his hair to his smooth shoulders, he smiled and said, "Ki, you are such an interesting person. Nobles are the essence of this empire." (Nobles are not important in the imperial capital, but everywhere)

Binghe was stunned for a moment and was about to nod, but suddenly, a memory that suddenly emerged suddenly penetrated his mind. In a trance, Binghe's mind showed that 'The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important'. This sentence surprised Binghe. However, when facing Kofi's inquiry, Binghe quickly replied: "I want to be a nobleman who is supported by the people." (This sentence is a standard cliché, and in Binghe's eyes, it is a standard answer used to answer perfunctorily, and the standard answer will not fall into the trap of people)

Kofi looked at Binghe with his blue eyes and said lightly: "You are very kind." Then he changed his subject and said lightly: "You are also very naive."

Binghe lowered his head and admitted immediately: "You are right, I may often be too shallow."

Although Binghe, who lowered his head, apologized, he used the large amount of memories that had just popped up in his trance and interlaced memories to remind himself of another rational thinking.
