The capital city of the Inge Kingdom is different from other countries. No matter whether it is an imperial country or a parliamentary country, there is only one capital city, but there are two capital cities in the Inge Kingdom. According to custom, one is called the king capital Saran. The royal family was enshrined in Sarkshire, and the other was the capital of Turin, which was in Wales.
The reason why this happens is entirely due to the fall of the royal power. After the royal power was greatly weakened by the Congress, the issue of capital relocation began to be discussed within the Congress. The reason given was that the capital of the royal government was not suitable for transportation. As a capital.
Although everyone knows that this reason is just a superficial reason, in fact, it is to further weaken the influence of the royal family, but it has to admit that this reason is very tenable and cannot be refuted.
When the Inge royal family set the king in Saran, it was more about safety. Saran was located in the heart of Sark and was surrounded by mountains. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are nearly one hundred fortresses of all sizes on the mountain road, which can be said to protect the king capital Saran like a railroad.
Because of such strict protection, any turmoil that occurred in the Eng Kingdom afterwards did not allow foreign enemies to step into Saran. The king, Saran, was therefore called an unbreakable city, and even the French Empire had to Acknowledge that Saran is indeed eligible for such a title.
However, it is such an unbreakable city that has fallen because of internal power changes, and the whole process takes no effort.
It is precisely because the influence of the royal family in the Saran region and Sarkshire is too great. Although the collective force from the upper and lower congresses has reduced the influence to the extreme, there are still a large number of people in the Saran who are loyal to the royal family. These People will definitely because the royal family has to retreat behind the scenes, give up their rights, and do some crazy things. The large and small congressional officials in Wangdu’s office, no one wants to walk on the road by someone who suddenly rushed out of nowhere. Poke.
Therefore, at the request of the vast majority of officials, Congress began to discuss the issue of capital relocation, just to appease the royal family. Congress did not cancel the administrative establishment of the royal capital Saran, and it still allowed the royal family to retain absolute administrative power over Saran.
In the face of the aggressive Congress, the royal family had to bow its head and agreed to the Congress’s relocation request, but the two sides had some differences in the location of the relocation.
According to the royal family's idea, even if it is a capital, the new capital should still choose to be in the royal territory. There are also some excellent cities in the royal territory. All the infrastructures are very complete. Just move it in the past, and you don't need to consider it. The cost and time of reconstruction.
Of course, Congress did not agree to such a proposal. After all, it was difficult to move the country out of Saran, which has a great influence on the royal family. Now, choose another city where the royal territory is located. Isn't that the same as not moving?
So the Congress and the royal family have been arguing over this issue for several months, and this dispute has also expanded from the House of Representatives to the people, and even the entire English Kingdom. A storm that is almost likely to split the English Kingdom into two parts is about to form.
In this regard, both the Congress and the royal family have noticed that they are reluctant to see the division of the Inge Kingdom, especially when it was also the time when the Inge Kingdom’s navy ruled the sea. Once divided, the Inge Kingdom will lose its position of overlord at sea. , Which is of no benefit to both parties.
Therefore, after some consultations, the royal family and the Congress chose a compromise solution. Choosing a region that has a deep relationship with the royal family and is not a royal territory to establish a new capital, and Wales has become a plan. After the repeated discussions, the river port city of Dublin, Wales, became the final candidate for the capital.
Turin is located on the Welsh River, one of the three major rivers of the Inge Kingdom. It has excellent water transportation and is not far from the nearest harbour. No matter what materials can be quickly transported from the waterway to the country, so here It was taken by Congress and after repeated discussions, it was designated as the capital of the country.
Speaking of this, Leo is no stranger to the urban layout and division of the city of Turin, because it is a miniature city of Miria.
When Dulin was positioned as a national capital, it was just a humble town, and everything needed to be rebuilt, so how to build the countries concerned became a point of contention within Congress.
Many architects from the Kingdom of England and even foreign architects have gathered here, and have presented a good plan to the Congress, hoping to become the chief designer of the capital of the Kingdom of England. After all, the general design of the capital of a country The title of division is an eye-catching crown for any architect.
At that time, Congress had discussed this for a long time. It was not that there were any problems with these design proposals, but that each proposal was very good, and it was able to be approved by a part of the Congress, which ultimately made it impossible for Congress to make a final decision.
But it was not a way to keep things going. In the end, some people proposed to rebuild the capital of the Inge Kingdom simply by using the city of Milia as a prototype.
Although this proposal sounds absurd now, it was very popular at the time. After all, the city of Miria was called the center of the world at that time, and the Kingdom of England was using this city as a prototype to build a new capital, which also showed their ambitions. They hope that the capital of the country, Du Lin, will replace Miria City in the future and become the new world center, the capital of the world.
It's just that after construction, the lords of Congress discovered a problem. The reason why Miria City is called the capital of the world is because there are not only people living around the world, but also countless Style buildings around. But when they decided to use Miria City as the prototype of the national capital, they did not consider these until they built a part of the national capital, and they found that something was wrong.
It’s just that it’s too late to overthrow the reconstruction. In order to save the situation, Congress issued an extremely ridiculous command, that is, all buildings built in the country must have unique characteristics, whether it is a shop or an apartment, whether it is an official residence, Or an office building, no repeating patterns can appear.
has to say that this command, which sounds very absurd even now, has saved this country, which has almost become the laughing stock of the world, and made Turin a city with the most characteristic buildings, a holy place in the minds of all architects.
Leo is now in the most luxurious hotel in this peculiar country, in a dozen-story guest room, standing by a huge window, watching the people coming down from downstairs who often run for their livelihood and extend to Various strange style buildings in the distance.
It's just that his mind at the moment is not on these buildings that make architects from all over the world fascinating, but is considering other things.
While in the town of Kevin, Leo had already talked to Otto Wizards as the royal representative and Frank Fawson as the representative of the Special Bureau to deal with various matters of the wizard's healing potions. In fact, when he said that he could do it with both parties. When trading, the look on their faces was a bit weird, with emotions such as surprise, doubt, etc. in between.
The reason why the old wizard and Frank Fusen have such expressions is because according to their understanding, the wizard wants to make a bottle of wizard potions. It is very difficult, not only requires high alchemy, but also takes a certain amount of time to extract drugs. So Leo can make two bottles a month and it’s already very good.
They all know the black market very well, knowing that Leo has sold more than twenty bottles of wizard healing potions to the black market before, and they all think that Leo has accumulated previously, not newly refined.
So they had to suspect that Leo was going to take out the wizard potions that he had traded with them were inferior or had been blended.
It is inevitable that they will have such an idea. After all, their concept of pharmaceutical extraction still stays in the now very authoritative distillation method and precipitation method. Both of these methods require a long time to extract, and Lei Europe adopted the more advanced and rapid centrifugation method in the old earth age to extract medicines.
After acquiring a machinery manufacturing plant, Leo set out to manufacture some machine tools, among them a centrifuge that assisted his pharmaceuticals, but this centrifuge was driven by steam, not electricity.
With this centrifuge, the refining work that originally took more than ten days to complete was shortened to less than ten minutes, so the time for him to refine a bottle of wizard's healing potion was shortened to less than half an hour.
Faced with the doubts of the two, Leo took out two bottles of therapeutic drugs as samples and handed them to the two, and said that after the therapeutic drugs delivered in the future were based on this standard, the two were relieved.
His deal with the old wizard was very simple. He took out a considerable amount of money or equivalent other materials and exchanged twenty bottles of healing potions from Leo.
And Frank Fawson’s transaction was a bit troublesome. He can only take out part of the money now, and the other part of the most important spiritual revelation of eternal wisdom needs to notify the Congress and arrange a time, which makes Leo take the Prince of Wales. After thinking about it, he came to the capital with Frank Fussen and was arranged to stay in the largest hotel in the capital.
In these two days, Frank Fussen is running to persuade Congress and the royal family to transfer his eligibility for contact with the eternal wisdom artifact to Leo Ceremony. However, from the expression he came to see Leo, the situation does not seem to be what he expected It's that simple.
, Leo did not care about this, because even if the transaction could not be reached, he did not lose much.
These two days in the hotel, Leo once secretly left the hotel twice, both times to the black market in the city.
Compared with the black market in Port Saite, the black market in Guodu is a bit too different from the black market. It looks like a private club. Only qualified personnel can enter. Obviously, the black market in Guodu should be officially recognized, even There may be some special cooperation with the Special Bureau.
After coming to the black market, Leo bought a copy of Frank Füssen directly from here, and the black market's answer was that it took time to prepare.
Leo is very clear that the so-called need for time preparation is nothing more than to notify the special bureau side, which is exactly in his mind, he just wants the result.
So when he came to the black market for the second time to get information, he left the black market and found several tails behind him.
He did not solve these tails, but let them follow him back to the hotel. He knew that his purchase of materials would soon reach Frank Füssen.
Although the black market and the special bureau have a cooperative relationship, the materials sold by the black market have not been cut down because of this relationship. Even if it is the information of the special bureau director, as long as the information can be paid, the information is still very detailed.
Although these data recording methods are very boring, like some formalized documents, Leo looks very fascinated, and also admires Frank Fussen in his heart. He has to say that the Inge Kingdom Special Bureau can have the present The strength, and suppressed all kinds of extraordinary people in the Kingdom of England, honestly, and his efforts over the years can not be separated.
Just like Leo’s first feeling when he first saw Frank Füssen, Frank Füssen was as old as he looks. In fact, Frank Füssen was only in his thirties. It seems so old, mainly because he is overdrawing his vitality when he uses his family power.
Frank Fussen is a clan. This is something that the Special Bureau knows, but no one knows which clan of the Franson is.
This person who can still lift the special bureau to the peak of the power of the Inge Kingdom under the suppression of both the Congress and the royal family is very ordinary.
He is just the son of a fisherman, and his experience before he was fifteen was very ordinary. Like the sons of most fishermen, he went to Kingdom Public School~EbookFREE.me~ after completing six years of schooling, he was unable to Admitted to higher education institutions, can only return home to inherit the family business and become a fisherman.
At the age of fifteen, Frank Fussen went fishing with his father’s fleet and encountered a very big storm at sea. The fishing boat quickly turned over in the wind and waves. Everyone fell into the water, and the experienced people were very I quickly found a floating object and kept myself from being overwhelmed by the wind and waves. Because Frank Fawson had insufficient experience for the first time to go to sea, he could not catch the floating object and was swept away by the wind and waves.
The shipwrecked people were eventually rescued by a passing fishing boat, and the number of people returning has been reduced by half. Frank Fussen is one of them.
Everyone thought that the dead were dead and held a public funeral for them according to the rules. But unexpectedly, on the third day after the funeral, Frank Fussen returned to the fishing village alive.
What’s even more weird is that Frank Fusson didn’t know how he came back alive. He only remembered that he was photographed by the waves, sinking a little into the sea, and then he lost consciousness, but when he woke up, But he was already lying on the beach not far from his village, and the memory in these days was completely lost.
So, some people thought that Frank Fussen was favored by Poseidon, so he was able to survive, and this was also recognized by many people, and spread out, and finally alarmed the special bureau and the royal family. ...
