Chapter 276: Cat People New Citizen
The sky in the border city has just begun to shine in the fog, and many people in the city have already gotten up early to prepare for work, Tom is dressed under the service of his wife, holding the empty lunch box that has been washed and ready to go out to work, there are still relatively few cat people like Tom who can go to work on time, because this often means a stable job.
Tom wore the shabby gentleman's clothes, walked out of the alley where his house was, the road outside became extremely clean overnight, there was not even any mud on it, Tom carefully dressed and shuttled through the city that slowly woke up, today's day is very important, he made sure that his clothes would not be stained by any factor, although his clothes were extremely shabby.
Tom's place of work is very close to the castle in the center of the city, and Tom lives in the outer city, so he needs to walk for a long time to work, and the flow of people along the way slowly becomes dense, countless humans, elves, and cat people have appeared in the city, they all began to get busy, the city gate that had just been opened, also became crowded in an instant, Tom walked for about forty minutes, came to his boss's house, the boss had not gotten up at this time, Tom stood at the door and waited.
And cat people like Tom who stand directly at the door and wait, there are many on this street, they are quietly waiting for their boss to get up, like such a dedicated employee, if it is in modern times, the bosses don't know how much they will love it, with the first bell of the church, the city, can be regarded as completely alive.
"The owner is early. ”
"Good morning owner. ”
"Hello, my lord!"
After the boss opened the door, countless cat people politely greeted each other, and then walked into their own place of work, Tom first took off his clothes, put them in a small space specially made for himself to put things, and then began to work in the coveralls inside, his main job is to dump the coal residue in the boiler, there is a special place to store this kind of garbage not far from the street, this trip still takes some time and effort, which is a relatively hard job for the weaker cat people, but Tom insisted on doing it。
A busy day began, after a while the boss gave him breakfast was carefully put away by Tom, and then drank a few sips of water and began to dry, the boss also knew that Tom was saving, so he didn't say anything, and as for whether Lelouch would pass from them today, although they would look forward to it, but they would not particularly pay attention to it, after all, this kind of thing is a little too far away for them, a little unrealistic.
But what they didn't know was that while they were busy with their lives, Lelouch was already dressed and riding a horse, standing at the gate of the castle of the city, and he was going to inspect the city today, and he also wanted to know how the human and foreign races lived together in the city, and I heard that they lived in harmony.
Before this, Lelouch didn't make a big deal of publicity, just took five hundred holy guards, accompanied by Wang Zifeng, and directly began to check the city, he wanted the purest urban life, so along the way, everyone who saw Lelouxiu was extremely shocked, and they also showed their most real living conditions without reservation, and the cat people and elves also seemed to have jobs, Lelouch was still very satisfied with this, but he was a little curious about the treatment and living standards of these aliens.
After all, the elf has decided to be officially included in the empire, and the cat man can also be included after this period of investigation, so Lu Luxiu is also more concerned about the living treatment of this new citizen, but there is no chance to ask along the way, until a cat man pushing a huge forklift, can not see the road in front clearly, and crashes into it in a daze, Lu Lu Xiu looked at the cat man with a smile and raised his head and looked into the distance, but the height limit made him unable to see the things in front of him.
Lu Luxiu first stopped the Holy Guard's attempt to drive away, but instead made way for a way, letting the cat man push the forklift in front of him, until in the end, he was gently blocked by Wang Zifeng.
It's not that Wang Zifeng is so gentle, it's a trace of Lu Luxiu, after all, in Lu Luxiu's eyes, these little guys are already his own people.
Tom watched the car being blocked, thinking that he was in the way of others, but when he hurriedly put down the forklift and walked to the front, he saw a scene that made him unforgettable, a tall human being, wearing white armor and cloak, looking at himself, the morning sun was shining from the sky at this time, making Tom think for a moment that the person in front of him was even glowing.
"What's your name?"
“...”
"His Majesty the Son of God asked you!"
Wang Zifeng reminded him on the side, but Tom couldn't believe the first four words, Your Majesty the Son of God!
"I, uh, I just poured, uh, poured cinders, I didn't see it, so, Your Majesty, I was wrong, you don't drive me out of the city..."
After stumbling for a long time, Tom finally couldn't bear the huge pressure and cried bitterly, Lelouch looked at Tom who was crying speechlessly, thinking that he was so terrible?
It's no wonder Tom, after all, in Tom's opinion, he directly hit the god with a forklift, that is not dead and has to shed his skin, and being driven out of the city, it is not necessary to think about it, but for Tom, being kicked out of the city is completely unacceptable, and he can't remember how to deal with the situation in front of him for a while, and in the end he can only cry.
Lelouch could only be reassured in a gentle tone:
"Well, don't cry, I'm not going to kick you out, I just want to ask you how your life is in this city. ”
While Lelouch spoke, the crown of the human emperor on his head also radiated light so that Tom could quickly stabilize, plus Lelouch used some meditation magic, Tom soon stopped crying, and his emotions quickly stabilized, Lelouch saw that the magic he used from Kelgan's knowledge was so effective, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and now he can be regarded as a magician who can use magic, but these magic are too far from the kind of magic that destroys the world and the world that violates the most basic common sense and common sense at every turn, but it is also too reasonable。
"So, I wonder what His Majesty wants to know?"
"Nothing, just want to know how your life is in the city. ”
"Riding a horse?"
“... Then I'll come down and walk with you!"
I don't know if it's the effect of meditation magic, Tom actually said a **** sentence very calmly, which made Leluxiu stunned for a moment, but there seems to be no problem when he thinks about it, after all, if you want to truly understand the life of these cat people, it is definitely not possible to ride a horse, Tom is also like this****, Lelouxiu got off the horse very directly, with Lelouch taking the lead, Wang Zifeng and a holy guard also got off the horse directly, following behind Lelouxiu.
"Okay, you can take me to your place of work first, and I'll ask you some more questions on the way. ”
Tom heard the flower walking meekly in front, and Lelouch walked with him, chatting as he went:
"What are you doing in the city?"
"It's just a very simple thing to help your boss dump cinders. ”
"Can you do something so physically demanding with your small body?"
"What can I do if I can't do it, we also have to live, I still have a large family to support, and the boss is good to me. ”
Hearing this, Lelouch became interested: "Really, then your treatment must be very good!"
"Of course, I'm pretty much the best group we have here, the boss takes care of me three meals a day, and I have ten copper plates a month. ”
"How much?" Hearing this, Lelouxiu's face turned cold in an instant, four copper plates per month, a bit similar to the line Modern only sends ten yuan per month, this ten yuan has a fart use, it is difficult for Lelouxiu to imagine that the alien artificial feet in the Fog Ash Province will be so low, these are not slaves, they are to prepare to be included in the population of the empire, maybe ten or twenty years later, these people will become the core population of the empire, and if they are given such a bad treatment now, if it is spread out in the future, or passed on to the next generation, the storage speed of these populations will definitely be greatly reduced。
Of course, Lu Lu Xiu will not be merciful enough to sympathize with these aborigines, everything must be based on interests, Lu Lu Xiu couldn't help but glance at Wang Zifeng with some displeasure, Wang Zifeng was more frightened by this, he had always thought that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing, but now it seems that Lu Lu Xiu does not agree with his own approach, and Wang Zifeng is not good at saying anything at this time, so he can only bow his head in embarrassment.
And what makes Lelouch angry, there is also a sentence from Tom, he is still one of the best living groups in the entire cat people, so what about the living standards of those ordinary cat people? How serious should the living conditions be? Poverty is a breeding ground for resistance, Lelouch does not want to hinder the establishment of his fog and ash province because of these inconsequential things, and he is not short of food, in fact, the food in the heaven-sent land is surplus every year, and there is no reason to save here at all.
In fact, this is mainly due to Lu Luxiu as for the future generations, if it is Wang Zifeng, this policy is actually very gentle and generous now, and even the cats themselves think it is very good.
Lelouch didn't speak after hearing this, but after following Tom to see where he worked, he walked towards the gathering area of the cat people, the living standard of the elves is much higher, after all, they are almost the same as humans, and can be quickly absorbed into the core population, so Lelouch is mainly the living standard of the cat people who are inspected.
With Tom leading the way, Lelouch and his party soon came to the outer city, and the news of His Majesty's inspection in the city quickly attracted countless residents, including humans and cat people, especially when the cat people saw that there was a cat man leading the way in front of His Majesty the Son of God, they were even more curious, and they were all guessing what was going on with this cat man.
Soon, Lelouch came to the alley where Tom's house was, in the alley where he had already gotten the news, almost all the cat people knelt down neatly, waiting for Lelouch to arrive, looking at the sincere and frightened expressions on their faces, Lelouch looked at the house where they lived again, his face became even more gloomy, and as Lelouxiu's face changed again, Wang Zifeng's forehead began to sweat slightly.
He just wants to give himself a big mouth now, what he has worked so hard to do, and now he may be affected by this thing that seems to be the most insignificant, Wang Zifeng is short of food? But it's not a house? It's not much, but there is wood, and it's not easy to repair the house?
Lelouch's face changed to a gentle expression, and he walked towards the cat man who was kneeling on the ground.
"Everyone, get up, I'm here today to see how everyone is doing. ”
Lelouxiu's words made many cats look at each other and finally stood up one after another, not so confident, but did not dare to disobey Lelouxiu's meaning, this effect is the same as the effect of letting them roll on the ground, but now it has become a stand-up.
Lelouch saw that the cat people stood up, and took the lead towards the alley, it is very difficult, the alley is extremely clean, this is a very important thing, because you must know that this alley does not have any toilets, in fact, public toilets have only recently begun to be promoted in the White City, there is no place to put the daily excrement, and there will naturally be a dirty phenomenon, but in this alley, there is no such situation.
Lelouch looked at these cat people curiously, Tom may have sensed Lelouch's doubts, and said very actively:
"This is not our land after all, so how dare you not pay attention to hygiene in these places?"
Tom's words tell the truth, and to be honest, the cat people may be one of the two most clean races in Middle-earth, the other is the elves, Lelouch expressed his appreciation for this, and then glanced at Wang Zifeng a little unhappily, and the meaning was very clear: "What does it mean that this is not their land?"
If a core population doesn't even agree with the sense of belonging to the land, then what can you expect him to agree with?
The knight is not Lu Lu Xiu deliberately throwing a face at Wang Zifeng, and Lu Lu Xiu is not such a stingy person, but Lu Lu Xiu has some words that he can't explain, and this needs Wang Zifeng to understand, so he deliberately gave a few more faces, so that Wang Zifeng can understand how much Lu Lu Xiu values these cat people.
Now that the meaning of his big BOOS is so clear, then next, Wang Zifeng should also understand what to do.
