Fluttering--
A snow-white seagull descended from the sky and landed on the high branch of a big tree, tilting his head to look at the group of people under the tree.
A group of civilians carrying wooden muskets pushed a well-dressed middle-aged man with his hands tied to the embankment under the tree. The river next to it is in a rainy season, with turbulent waves and extremely deep water levels.
Although embarrassed, this middle-aged man, who was obviously from an extraordinary background, still straightened his waist and glared at these former tenant farmers:
"You thugs have no right to judge me. I have never charged you a share of the rent, and I have never committed any crime!"
But he was kicked to the ground.
Seeing his extremely dusty and embarrassed look, the eyes of a group of people flashed with pleasure:
"Dear Mr. Rodney, all men are created equal. Riding on the people to dominate the blessing is your greatest sin! Now you no longer have the right to say no to us, but you can choose to climb the tree or enter the water. Hahaha..."
The "fire" of the commercial aristocracy is of course exaggerated and false, but the perennial contradiction between the low-level civilians and the ruling class is also deeply rooted. Even if there is not much personal enmity, no snowflake is innocent during the avalanche.
Although there are many people around here, no one will sympathize with him.
"Goddess, save me!"
Realizing that these thugs really wanted their own lives, the middle-aged man turned to run but was pushed directly into the rushing river.
Puff!
After a few ups and downs in the waves, he completely disappeared.
"Oh!"
"Go, let's catch people again."
Amidst the cheers of victory, the "rebel army" left together to continue hunting.
at the same time.
Far away in the mainland of the Kingdom of Falates, in St. James's Palace, in the Queen's study.
"Your Majesty, this is the fifth one. Do you want to keep watching?"
Isabella pinched her eyebrows and waved her hand, and Ivan immediately closed the mind network.
After receiving a letter from Livina to arrange territorial affairs, he rushed to Bekeler alone and assumed the responsibilities of his own consultant and member of the Upper Parliament.
"Mind Network" does not have the ability to directly transmit messages across continents for the time being, but with the promotion of Aiwen, "bandwidth" has also greatly increased, and real-time image transmission within the Tulip Islands is still very easy.
Especially after the three of them were "immersive" together, they experienced firsthand what kind of chaos Ilya was at this time. There are too many dead people. Some people do deserve their sins, but more people do not die.
But no one cares about this anymore.
"Does the nobility itself attract people's hatred like this? If we lose the power in our hands, will we end up like this?"
Crown Prince Livina, who has always been heroic and unbeatable, has a few strands of hair hanging down to his cheeks from his temples, appearing a little haggard and weak, and he is obviously deeply shocked by the misery of Ilya's "Great Uprising".
As distant relatives, they were able to sit back and watch the Ilya royal family's luck, but the king was directly pushed to the guillotine, and the domestic nobles were indiscriminately slaughtered, which exceeded their acceptance limit.
It was precisely because of this crazy riot from top to bottom that Falettis, who had already prepared an expedition plan, was a bit at a loss for a while.
After getting the opportunity, this is not just a planned cleansing of the new ruling class bourgeoisie and the Constituent Assembly, but the entire country is launching a liquidation of the original ruling class from top to bottom.
Now as a foreign force intervenes, it will only face a people's war like a vast ocean.
Seeing that both of them didn't look good, Ai Wen said with relief:
"His Royal Highness, don't be ignorant of yourself. This has something to do with the national policy pursued by the Kingdom of Ilya since the birth. The evil results have been planted from the beginning..."
Since the industry and commerce within the Kingdom of Ilya have flourished, they have always pursued a "merchantism" (industry and commerce standard) policy. The state adopts measures such as tariff barriers, franchising, wage reduction, and government supervision to protect the international competitiveness of its industry and commerce.
At the same time, protecting industry and commerce will inevitably require a large amount of additional tax sources, so the Ilya government has always imposed heavy taxes on the people. In fact, the people of the whole country bear the full cost of the state machinery, but they have not received any benefits.
Initially, both the commercial aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy invested in commerce, mining, real estate and other industries, and the benefits of "merchantism" were shared by the traditional powerful and commercial aristocracy.
However, as the conflict between the emerging commercial aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy has become more and more serious, especially in recent years, the traditional aristocracy has been steadily defeated by this new class that unites and has common demands. Those favorable policies have long since become The exclusive rights of bourgeois.
However, the traditional dignitaries have taken full responsibility because of their dominant position. They just retired from the shareholders in the disaster, and legal persons were imprisoned.
Aiwen continued to take the opportunity to sell private goods and gradually influence the current and future rulers of the kingdom:
"To a certain extent, this matter is not entirely unprofitable. At least it allows the whole world to see the nature of the bourgeoisie, and can use this as a warning, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Ilya.
In fact, this is one of the problems that must be faced after the development of material civilization to a certain extent. The social distribution system has a structural error. Therefore, the functions of the government cannot be ignored and the freedom of economic development has been overridden. An appropriate initial distribution and redistribution system must be formulated..."
"Initial distribution and redistribution? What does this mean, can you tell me in detail?"
At this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the study room with only three people.
The three high-level transcendents who should have ears and eyes suddenly turned their heads, only to find a handsome young man in white robe sitting quietly on a chair with his fingers interlaced. No one noticed how he appeared, and how long he had been sitting here.
Isabella was about to shout for the guardian of the kingdom, but when the shout reached her mouth, she swallowed abruptly.
Because they have recognized who this stranger is at the same time, after all, his murals and idols are everywhere in the entire Tulip Church, and even Ivan has seen it countless times.
In the Church of True God, He is only the messenger of the goddess. But outside of the seven gods, he is a great existence that can be directly named as a god!
Although surprised, as nominal worshippers of the goddess, the three of them did not forget to stand up and pray at the same time:
"Holy Angel..."
As soon as the greeting was uttered, it was interrupted by the holy angel Bellenus directly raising his hand, looking at Aiwen straight in:
"Because the lamb of the goddess has returned to the kingdom of God in large areas, I have just personally visited Ilya, but the situation I saw there was far more severe than I initially expected.
I thought of Falettis, the fastest growing "steam industry", to see if there is any enlightenment. The process of human society should have laws and traces to follow.
Now it seems my luck is good.
The benefactor of the goddess, the world's favorite, my divinity tells me that you may have the answer to this question. "
Then Bellenus explained what he saw in the Kingdom of Ilya to the three in general. The holy angels who wanted to get answers from mortals didn't mind revealing some secrets belonging to the gods to them.
And now it seems that if the goddess wants to obtain the true "sea kingship", it is highly likely that it will fall on the kingdom of Falettis, which is already the number one in the alliance, and can give a moderate tilt to resources.
"That being has begun to preach its beliefs in Ilya on a large scale, ready to gather in the place where the bourgeois power is the most powerful..."
Even though Bellenus didn't even mention the name to prevent the true from attracting attention, the three of them all figured out what happened in the area they hadn't touched yet.
There are now several levels of awareness of Ilya's riots.
When most people were still on the first floor, thinking that this was a rebellion caused by the lack of high-end power in the kingdom.
Alvin and the Falatis rulers who have been baptized by his "bourgeois class" theory have stood on the second level, knowing that this is a far-reaching change that may determine the future direction of the world.
The holy angels are on the third level. Everything that happens in the mundane world is just appearance. The more far-reaching impact is the game between the true gods, which is the [capital priesthood] that the "Black Wing God" is seeking!
Aiwen also picked up a precious mystical knowledge-[the priesthood], which was spoken by a demigod himself, which was much more reliable than the 708 records in the witchcraft classics.
The gods understand and control the world authority corresponding to certain things in the mortal world, and this magical authority can give the gods extra power.
[Natural priesthood] Needless to say, the types and definitions of priesthood have been established at the beginning of the world, and they have almost never changed.
[Humanized priesthood] only exists in the society of special intelligent creatures. A certain secular thing has enough influence on human beings, the gods and their followers have enough knowledge of this kind of things, and the number of believers is large enough.
As the time goes.
The [clergy] represented by this kind of things will slowly be born in the beliefs of mankind, and compared with the [natural priesthood], the [humanized priesthood] can grow rapidly as the level of human society increases. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Of course, it must also bear a series of negative consequences brought about by its possible sudden recession.
Among the seven gods, "Dawn of Dawn", "Frost Breath", "Bright Starry Night", "Eternal Fire", and "Howling Storm" are all [natural priests], and only the youngest "Goddess of Kingship and Navigation" , "Black Wing God" These two true gods are [humanized priesthood].
As a united front, it roughly illustrates the predicament we are facing now.
Bellenus stared at Ivan with shining eyes, and asked a question that made Isabella and Livina look bleak: "You think that in the evolution of human society, the secular [kingship] will inevitably be [Capital] Replace it?!"
After hearing this question, Aiwen did not directly answer, but smiled slightly and asked:
"Is it inevitable? Then... do you know that capitalism is bound to die?"
The first sentence is shocking!
The crown prince, queen, and even Bellenus, who almost suspected that this was an unsolvable problem, hummed together.
