Chapter 6 Turning Decay into Magic

PS: Happy New Year, everyone" You mean, the male protagonist was captured to replace the old gods?" Chef Jiang enlightened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Yes, the age of the other world can be set before the first industrial revolution in the history of the earth, that is, before the appearance of steam, but the gunpowder was already in vogue. The god general said like this - she doesn't play ace air combat, of course she doesn't know that the world map and place names that Jiang Yucheng remembered are from ace air combat 6, but this did not hinder her from thinking, "The country of the 'protagonist Fang' is called Emera, right?"

"That's right. ”

"And the enemy is the Estovaka Empire. ”

"Well, that's right - this is the largest country on the world map. ”

"Is the largest country?—— just so small and rich and advanced that Emera can be modeled on the Netherlands, and the empire is of course Spain..."

"Netherlands?" Jiang Yucheng felt that the country was a little familiar.

"It was the Netherlands, the first bourgeois republic in Europe. "The gods will begin to teach again," they invented the financial exchange, and they gave birth to Morris of Nassau. Let Emera, as a representative of the nascent bourgeoisie, confront the old feudal aristocracy of the empire, is that okay?"

"No problem. Jiang Yucheng also thinks that this setting is good--it can be regarded as a little from the position of historical materialism, "Na... Originally, it was called the Principality of Emera, but should it be changed to the Republic of Emera?"

God rolled his eyes: "No need - the ruling of the Dutch Republic is hereditary from the family of the Prince of Orange, and the Republic of Venice also has hereditary dukes." As for the Empire, since it is an enemy, it can be described as a little blacker, theocracy, the Inquisition, and the crime of not paying back the money can be added to it·····"

"Don't you pay back the money you owe?" Jiang Yucheng didn't expect this kind of thing.

"Yes, in order to maintain a large empire and cope with the wars that began at will, the Habsburgs spent a lot of money on their military affairs, and the gold and silver imported from the New World caused inflation, and the treasury often exceeded its means. In order to fill the shortfall, the royal family borrowed money from wealthy Dutch merchants·····"

"What if you don't get it yet?"

"Not yet? ”

Waging war at will, with staggering military spending and high deficits -- Jiang Yucheng could not help but sigh: Isn't the virtue of the Habsburgs the same as that of New Rome! However, after all, the Grand Commanders are one step higher than the king's chess: they do not need to go bankrupt, they just need to constantly print green paper, plus "quantitative easing."

The final molding setup looks like this:

According to the history books of the mainland, the "First Emperor", the ancestor of the largest country on the continent, the Estovaca Empire, was a half-human and half-god figure. According to the state religion of the empire, he "conquered the world and swept away the demons"—in fact, he extended his territory to the limits of the natural boundaries of that closed age, and forcibly promoted the religion of his own people and suppressed the religions of other natives—the epics of antiquity, although they were about the affairs of the gods, were always studied by human actions, which was very common in the history of nations.

After conquering the world, the "First Emperor" made his own meritorious heroes, and his relatives were the guardians of various places, forming various states, kingdoms and lords. The original imperial state religion will also give rise to different sects due to geographical barriers and local social conditions.

And the Duchy of Amera on the continent of Aisna, where they are now, is also one of the original states of the empire. Since the continent of Aisnar, like Oceania on Earth, is surrounded by oceans, the Empire's control over the Duchy of Aimera has always been weak. As a result, Amela has historically had a strong tendency to secession.

Compared with the empire, which was still dominated by a natural economy, Emera had entered the threshold of industrialization, with a developed economy, advanced technology, a relatively free social atmosphere, and relative equality between nobles and commoners in terms of property rights.

However, due to the empire rich in magic crystal ore resources and the advanced magical civilization (magic is monopolized by the nobles), many problems that can only be solved by technology on the earth can be solved by the empire through magic. So, in fact, the level of productivity of Amera was not much higher than that of the empire before.

··· In fact, the state religion of Amera - generally known as "Baptism" is actually a branch of the imperial state religion, but unlike the imperial state religion with the first emperor as the guardian saint, the patron saint of the state religion of Amera is the sea god on the "god list" of the first emperor, the first emperor's ** (mistaken... One of them, Bharat, the first king of Emera. According to the record of the "God List", Bharat is the patron saint of sailors and merchants, which coincides with the characteristics of Emera's business state...

Although the state religion of the empire has a "list of gods", it is still monotheistic in nature - just like Christianity has many angels, but the object of their faith is God. In other words, in the eyes of the Imperial State Church, the State Church of Emera belongs to the heretical sect. In the case of heretical sects, sometimes they can be dealt with directly by means of public debate at religious conferences, and sometimes they are directly burned at the stake.

Seeing the setting of this "God List", Jiang Yucheng's eyes were a little hot for a while - a brain-opening idea popped up in his heart: Yu Baochen denounced the beginning of his writing as three vulgarities before, in addition to directly applying the beginning of the waste Meng Wen, to a large extent, because he wrote the god of war Ares like King Billy out of bad taste... But now it seems that this "god list" or something, obviously very similar to the goblins in the new Nippoo! The First Emperor or something, it should correspond to the king of the new Nippori, Mori ♂ Fairy ♂ Billy Harrington! As for the first emperor's friendship group, in addition to the head of the light camp, King Billy, there are also generals such as Muji and Beorandi - and that Emera, which corresponds to the Dark♂ camp, the sea god Balat, is clearly the ♂ projection of the dark fairy ♂Vanchu in the present world!

Jiang Yucheng didn't seem to notice that he is really philosophical ♂ now, and his brother is on his body - of course, a philosopher ♂ is not equal to a, and Jiang Yucheng is still very confident that his sexual orientation remains normal: even if he doesn't consider his concern for Xiaoqi, I'm afraid that few people who have more contacts around him are men!

To say that Jiang Yucheng became a philosopher ♂, Han Yingshan can be said to have contributed a lot. Since three months ago, Jiang Yucheng's relationship with his sister has changed a lot - since the challenge of the god witch Nana, the relationship between brother and sister has been heating up day by day. Although the two people used to be a de facto cooperative relationship, they never passed through each other, and there was little communication in life. Now not only does Jiang Yucheng often show his sister the written passages, but his sister will also show Jiang Yucheng the works she has just completed and ask him (usually Yu Baochen) to make suggestions. And now it's not just painting, if my sister is ready to submit videos to station B, I often invite Jiang Yucheng to watch it together - needless to say, this is dominated by the philosophical ♂ series of brothers' noble ghost animal works...

After experiencing the initial destruction of the dog's eyes and the pain of the chrysanthemum, Jiang Yucheng can now look directly at his sister's works - don't forget that Han Yingshan is not only a big tentacle when she paints, but also a tentacle-level god as the UP master, and her MAD training is very good. In the face of these excellent works, Jiang Yucheng himself was inevitably brainwashed - he was gradually no longer satisfied with Shanshan's works, and began to search for other classic works on station B, destined to devote himself to the cause of philosophy - such as "pump♂it" and "viva♂la♂vida brother guide the people" and the like... So, when Jiang Yucheng realized something, he was already deep in it and couldn't extricate himself. In order to figure out the various allusions to the new Nippori, Jiang Yucheng even added members of the Du Niang Brother Gui Bar to learn philosophical ♂ knowledge from the senior philosophers ♂ - in this way, Jiang Yucheng knew the history of the new Nippori and got to know the brothers other than King Billy, such as Kiyoshi Kazuya, Ikeda Cream Stew, Mori Daiko, Banana-kun, etc... Now, Jiang Yucheng has claimed to be a Heike ♂boy who has joined the Dark♂ camp, and even changed several of his ID avatars to Van Hui in the Dark♂ standing position.

Of course, Jiang Yucheng is a man with a normal personality orientation after all-of course, he is not completely psychologically barrier-free about his study of philosophy ♂, but when he thinks that Baitou Mountain is born with a C-Cup body, and he still participates in Buddhist scriptures, he is calm. (Note 1)

"Eh, this setting is very good!" Just like when he first heard the black history set by this guy for "Battle Queen Project", Jiang Yucheng praised this setting without hesitation, "I have never seen this kind of otherworldly setting like this!

"Of course - with our talent, how can we make something that is a big road..." The Born God General had another stinky look on his face.

At this time, the ordered dishes were also served in turn—while tasting steak and red caviar, and feeling the excitement in his chest, Jiang Yucheng wanted to have a glass of kvass to celebrate this seemingly promising new pit. However, Yu Baochen couldn't hold back his excitement, and he wanted to be broad:

"Would you like to celebrate with something classy?"

"Grade?—— let's say?

"Let's say, a bottle of Martell Masters or something. ”

"What's that?" Jiang Yucheng decided to refer to the menu.

"It's just foreign wine, it's very fragrant·····"

"Poof!!!——" Jiang Yucheng glanced at the menu: Martell Celebrities, the price is 2888······

"Nani?!" Jiang Yucheng's eyes widened - although Yu Baochen is a white rich beauty, but what is a Martell celebrity, is the price really okay? He doesn't know what Yu Baochen's disposable income is, and when imagining Bai Fumei's life, it is naturally difficult to avoid the brain supplement that is out of touch with reality, such as "the emperor uses a golden flat dan". However, according to Jiang Yucheng's understanding of Yu Baochen, he knows very well that the natural god will not drink like the head of state, and with this guy's character, it is obviously impossible to waste money on boring things like "famous wine"...

"Ah, don't worry – the wine is ready-made. Yu Baochen also seemed to see through what Jiang Yucheng was thinking, "My aunt has saved a bottle here, I guess I forgot it a long time ago..."

"It's your aunt again..." Jiang Yucheng said casually - Yu Baochen's aunt is really powerful, not only generously handed over the membership card of the "five-star swimming pool" to Yu Baochen, but also reserved a bottle of foreign wine for them as if he had known that the natural god was going to toast with Chef Jiang here. If only I had such a convenient aunt...

After a little instruction to the waiter, a glass bottle with a slender neck was brought out - probably the so-called "Martell Lounge". Yu Baochen poured a third of this precious liquid into Jiang Yucheng's cup. Looking at the liquor in the cup, Jiang Yucheng tried to put his nose up and smell it, and he felt that it was fragrant - he had grown so big, participated in many drinking occasions, and Jiang Yucheng had seen a lot of all kinds of wine, but he had never felt that the taste of wine was good before. After learning that this was a fruit wine, Jiang Yucheng despised it a little, and wanted to be manly in his heart, so he poured the wine in the cup into his mouth with a big grin. The result was good, and the strong sense of stimulation made Jiang Yucheng almost choked.

"This... Isn't this fruit wine?" Jiang Yucheng said as he coughed.

"It's a pattern, Sao Nian..." Yu Baochen had a triumphant expression, looking at Jiang Yucheng, a bun, "Brandy is distilled from wine, and this wine is forty degrees." ”

Jiang Yucheng, who was also guilty of occupational diseases, subconsciously came up with the physical and chemical term "two-liquid equilibrium phase diagram" in his mind - of course, unlike organic chemistry, Jiang Yucheng, the book "Basic Physical Chemistry" to be studied next semester, is still confused, so the time for "getting sick" this time is very short...

Under the catalytic effect of the spirits, the discussion between the two became more and more intense, and more and more people became more and more unattended. On the side, Aunt Han and Aunt Huang looked a little embarrassed and at a loss.

—————————————————— Dividing Line——————————————————

The Spring Festival holiday only ends on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Aunt Han didn't stay at home for a few days, so she had to go back to work in other places. It's a bit rude to say - of course Jiang Yucheng didn't mean to drive Shanshan's own mother away, but when Aunt Han was at home, he always felt that it was not so convenient. Shanshan is a hopeless housemaid who doesn't come out of the room very much, so it can be considered that Jiang Yucheng is the only one at home, and he has long been used to the feeling of one person dominating all the space - but when Aunt Han is at home, things are different: an invisible wall seems to block him from stepping into certain parts of the house. Now this wall is finally going to be removed.

Just the day before Aunt Han was about to leave home, she stopped Jiang Yucheng, who was passing by the living room, and said:

"Yucheng..."

"Mom, what's the matter?"

“··· Are you sitting here? I'll say a few words to you..."

Jiang Yucheng estimated that Aunt Han left home this time, and she didn't know when she would come back, probably because she had something to tell him - so he sat on the single sofa and leaned towards Aunt Han, who spoke with a sincere expression:

"I have to thank you, Yucheng - taking care of Shanshan at home during this time has really tired you..."

"Oops, this... It's nothing!"

Jiang Yucheng hurriedly said - in his opinion, thanking him was really completely unnecessary, so he said as a matter of course:

"Sanshan, she's my sister - isn't it natural for me to take care of her?"

Jiang Yucheng's words were only half said: Because Shanshan, she is no longer just a so-called "sister" in name and no reality to Jiang Yucheng - she is a tentacle-level illustration god on the Internet, and she has been supporting her right-hand king since a year ago! This subtext, Jiang Yucheng did not say it- Aunt Han may know that Shanshan is good at drawing, but she doesn't know much about the more specific situation, if she knows that Shanshan is painting those things with a little H element, maybe there will be unnecessary misunderstandings and worries, or more is better than less!

"No, no, no, thank you - because I'm a mother, and I'm really sorry for Sanshan..." Speaking of this, Aunt Han's eyes felt a little more guilty, "Originally, after this child's father left, I should have taken more time to spend with her... But now I'm leaving her at home..."

“······”

Looking at Aunt Han's lonely and self-blaming expression, Jiang Yucheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in his heart that was touched fiercely - Jiang Yucheng understood what she meant: his care was secondary, and Aunt Han valued his role as a family member to accompany Shanshan. Jiang Yucheng also knew that no matter how much she squatted at home, Shanshan was still a sixteen-year-old girl - a child of this age needed to be accompanied by her family and rely on her parents.

“···· Yucheng, I know it's a bit difficult, but you're at home, you're a father and a mother, and Shanshan still has to rely on you a lot..."

When Aunt Han said this, she seemed to be a little unsure of what words to use to describe it: what to say? "care", "education", "discipline", "guidance", ?—— is really "being a father and a mother", how can such a complex character like parents be described by such simple words for children? Jiang Yucheng had already understood-he even thought that compared to Shanshan, he was obviously lucky- When my parents divorced, I had already been admitted to college, my adolescence had already ended, and my three views had already been set. So he hurriedly said:

"I understand... I see, don't worry. ”

Half a year ago, although he said that he wanted to be a good brother, in fact, Jiang Yucheng knew that he was not qualified - it didn't mean that the food was not delicious, or the laundry was not so clean or anything. Why did he subconsciously think that his sister wouldn't care about him when he woke up in the hospital? because subconsciously he didn't really become an older brother himself. For him, although Shanshan is said to be a "younger sister", she is actually a "little girl who needs to be taken care of but has a strange temper", and she is just dutifully completing the tasks assigned to her by her father and Aunt Han.

After experiencing the "Right Hand King Defense War", the bond between Jiang Yucheng and Shanshan has finally been strengthened - and Shanshan is of course no longer the "little girl who needs to be taken care of" in Jiang Yucheng's eyes, she is a "painter", a "partner", and an "important person". This important person can be a relative, a friend, a lover - at this time, Jiang Yucheng has begun to regard Shanshan as "his own person" from the bottom of his heart, but the relationship between the two is still not like a relative, but like a closer "male girlfriend" or "female friend" and the like...

After listening to Aunt Han's words, Jiang Yucheng was stunned for a long time before he reacted - when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was only now that Shanshan was finally promoted to a "sister" in his heart. Jiang Yucheng knew that as an elder brother, what he had to do was not to complete any tasks, nor to passively respond to Shanshan's needs—but to take the initiative and think about Shanshan's future from the bottom of his heart, just like Aunt Han did to Shanshan, and his father did to himself. This heavy responsibility is now officially pressed on Jiang Yucheng's shoulders...

It seems that he can't just play with Shanshan in the future, he should supervise her growth and progress—— Jiang Yucheng secretly made up his mind. She is already a college student, and she has completed most of her study tasks, but she is only a junior high school student! If she wants to have a good future, it is not that everything will be fine if she can draw—not to mention that even if she has a talent for painting, if she does not have further study and training, won't she become a second injury Zhongyong? Looking at Shanshan's current squatting at home, I really can't imagine what way out this child will have in the future except for the NET tribe...

Note 1: There is a software called "Zen with the Buddha", which can convert an Http address into a string of "Buddhist scriptures" starting with "Buddha Said" - this software is often used by the Northern Dynasty to spread small yellow books. As a result, "Buddhist scriptures" became another name for Xiaohuangben
