Chapter 169: A Society in which Sheep Eat People

"Mr. Captain, are you going to come in and have some fun? Mrs. Ellie's cottage will please you! ”

A woman dressed in a flowery dress with a thick layer of lead powder on her face stood at the door and greeted loudly, but there was no welcome look on her face, only sarcasm!

"Fuck off! You disgusting slut, take away your dirty hands! Without hesitation, the captain on the horse whipped the woman with the whip in his hand.

'Smack! The whip slammed into the woman's right arm, and the woman shivered in pain, but the sarcasm on her face was thicker, and there was a strong hatred in her eyes.

"Mr. Captain, I guess you haven't had much to eat!" She laughed out loud!

"Murderer! Accomplices of the nobles! Get out of here, it's not yours! ”

"You've taken my ranch in Exes, you red devils!"

"Executioners, the boys of the New World should really give you a few more hard blows!"

One after another, shouts and curses rang out, and suddenly out of the low shanty, there were many tattered people, and they roared with indignation!

"Smack!" Something hit the carriage window, Ye Kai carefully identified the little scrap stuck to the window door, and at a glance, he almost threw up, this was a fucking piece of animal feces that was about to harden, of course, it could also be human.

"Be vigilant! Warning shots! The lieutenant officer yelled and put back the whip and drew the saber from the side of the horse.

"Smack!" The orange flames flashed, and a lobster soldier pulled the trigger at the sky, and the crowd rushed over, but the angry shouting and scolding did not stop.

Ye Kai felt like he was walking through an angry beehive, and the people around him who were buzzing like wasps might rush over and tear him to pieces at any moment!

This is in London!

Ye Kai has a feeling that the convoy is passing through Syria and Iraq.

"Terrible sheep eat people!" Ye Kai lowered his head and muttered softly!

"Gross! What are you talking about? Vomit! Lord Marquis! Mrs. Pollina, who sat beside him, retched violently, not so much because the carriage was bumpy, but because she was a little frightened.

"Nothing!" Ye Kai shook his head, he remembered now that Britain was in the last period of sheep eating people.

This spontaneous aristocracy, which lasted from the end of the fifteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century, and which later evolved into a government act, helped the British to complete the first industrialization and urbanization in human history.

But it also brought a terrible disaster to ordinary Englishmen, except for the king and aristocratic capitalists!

In the countryside, in order to recover the land and forcibly occupy the public land where the peasants lived, the nobles often resorted to tactics such as beatings, maiming, and even wanton killing to drive the peasants away.

In the towns, peasants who had lost their land were flogged the first time they were caught, half of their ears cut off for the second time, and their minor children were taken for apprenticeship and hard labor.

Even King Henry VIII of England once stipulated that anyone with property had the right to enslave those who wandered, and could arrange for them to do any work for a small fee.

Encouraged by these policies, at least more than a million landless peasants in Britain have been enslaved to death or even executed directly by the government in the last two hundred years.

Whenever he thinks back to these histories, Ye Kai admires the British very much, no one can surpass them in the matter of treating people as people!

Not only do they not treat other people as people, but they also treat their own people as people first, engage in primitive accumulation and industrialization, and sacrifice more than one million of their own compatriots first, which is ruthless enough! Poisonous enough!

。。。。

Gresham College, which was founded by the famous financier Thomas Murphy. Founded by Gresham in 1566, Gresham has been a favourite meeting place of the Royal Society.

When Ye Kai finally stepped out of the carriage, he felt as if he had come to another world.

It is quiet and elegant, the air seems to be filled with fragrance, the neat white marble buildings, the straight guards, the policemen patrolling everywhere, the luxurious carriages and the servants waiting around the carriages, etc., all show the elegance and dignity of this place.

Mrs. Polyna couldn't stand on her feet anymore, if it weren't for Ye Kai holding her, this woman would definitely collapse directly to the ground.

The reason why she came to England was because she was very good friends with the Duchess of Devonshire here, and this brainless woman also clearly felt the tension in France, so she probably wanted to see how London was doing, but she was scared half to death.

Ye Kai did not enter Gresham Academy directly, but first went to a luxury hotel next to the academy, and he needed to wash off the stench from the slums before he went to the academy to accept the honor of being a member of the Royal Society.

In Gresham's College, there were less than two hundred members of the Royal Society, and there were about one hundred and thirty members.

This is a great grand occasion, usually when learning to gather, it is good to have thirty or forty people, but today in order to see the demeanor of the nobles of Seris, basically everyone who can come comes.

In the small park behind the academy, colorful flags fluttered on the grass, long tables covered with white tablecloths, a variety of snacks and drinks were everywhere, richly dressed servants were shuttling around, and nobles were talking in groups.

"Gentlemen and ladies, let us welcome the Erudito from the Kingdom of Seris, the physician, chemist, inventor of diethylxmorphine, berberine hydrochloride and nitroglycerin, His Excellency the Marquis of Seris, the Marquis of Saigon!"

The current President of the Royal Society, Joseph Murphy. Lord Banksy personally led Ye Kai into the crowd that was chatting happily.

Madame Pollina, who was carrying Ye Kai's arm, was rejuvenated and radiant, and there was no sign that she had barely been able to walk steadily.

Warm applause rang out, and the crowd gathered almost instantly, but not in a swarm, but with a certain order and etiquette, they surrounded according to their identity, and in the middle of the crowd, a slightly chubby blonde man stood in the c position.

"Welcome, greetings to the Prince of Wales of Great Britain, the distinguished guest of Seris!"

After the applause stopped, the fat man elegantly stretched out his hand to Ye Kai, it turned out that this guy was the current British Crown Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the future George IV.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ye Kai hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"Is this the noble dress of Seris? Is it really pretty? If I could, I'd love to have a dress like this! ”

Qiao Si was not polite at all, he looked at Ye Kai with a smile and said, as if Ye Kai was a good friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Of course, it is my honor that His Royal Highness the Prince can like it, I happen to have a set of princely dresses from the last Seris Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, here, and I will have someone send it over in a moment."

Ye Kai didn't care, but it was Qiao Si's self-familiar attitude that made him feel very comfortable, at least he didn't have to face that kind of hypocritical smirk.

"And," Ye Kai raised his eyebrows mysteriously, "I also have a set of the Prince's and Princess's dresses, and I want to give him to Mrs. Fitzherbert!" ”

Qiao Si's eyes lit up suddenly, and he even stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Kai gently.

Maria. Fitzherbert, a widow who has been married twice and has two children, has been fascinating Qiao Si recently, and everyone in Britain has scoffed at Qiao Si's taste and thinks he is crazy, so Qiao Si is still very happy to be recognized by Ye Kai, a Seris nobleman.
