Chapter 108: Aristocrats
The empire has completely conquered the Elsa Free Territory, renamed it the Elsa District and divided it into nine archons, and the kingdoms of Rowan are now in the midst of a fierce battle with the Mullan Empire Expeditionary Force, and the empire has finally entered a brief but precious peace.
As a newly occupied territory of the empire, the Elsa District only has a few nobles such as Boone and Yushine, but the area is many times larger than the Isis Star, which has dozens of noble families and nearly 10,000 whiteclothed bishops with the same status as the lords, such a region that is close to a power vacuum has of course attracted the attention of the elites of the Isis Star, and after getting Chu Heng's approval, they naturally want to carve up such a big cake.
Don't underestimate anyone's wisdom, although the natives of Isis are much lower than the Elsa people in terms of civilization, but the nobles and white-clothed bishops who are high-ranking officials of the empire have already learned the truth of the universe from the mouths of the Zerg many years ago, after all, Chu Heng will need them to manage political affairs and missions for the empire in the future, and even fight for the empire.
After the empire conquered the Elsa District, Chu Heng thought of many ways to rule here, the establishment of a noble school is one thing, and the religious rule is also another, and letting the nobles of the Isstar who were originally loyal to the empire further rule here is the top priority of the plan.
The empire only needs energy and the stability of the ruling area, and all other interests are attributed to these believers and nobles who have contributed to the empire, which can effectively stimulate all the civilizations ruled by the entire empire, so that they can contribute their strength to the empire more powerful all the time, because the interests of the empire are their interests.
Moreover, they can also use their power to completely suppress all underground forces against the Empire, and at the same time help the Empire manage its political affairs.
Parasitizing and transforming the Zerg can also achieve the same effect, but the area ruled by the Empire is still small, and it would be extremely stupid to use this method once it has developed into a super power that rules millions of civilizations like the Luna Empire.
On the one hand, it would be a waste of energy to transform and parasitize a large number of non-combatants, and on the other hand, such a reign of terror would terrify the citizens of the Empire, and the Empire would become lifeless. Such a lifeless civilization was not conducive to surpassing the Moon God Empire, and it was obviously not the super civilization that Chu Heng had single-handedly created in his dreams.
In the future, the empire will enter a virtuous circle model in such a theory, that is, after the empire conquers a civilization, the nobles of the empire will divide up all interests except energy and military, and in order to get greater benefits, the nobles will inevitably do everything possible to contribute energy to the empire, and the empire that gets more energy will become stronger, so as to conquer more civilizations, and then stimulate the nobles to be more crazy to earn energy for the empire.
Interests are the eternal truth, and the nobles who are bound to the interests of the empire will never betray Chu Heng, and those who become nobles must be the body of the Zerg with the link of the soul channel or the followers of the Cult of Kosmos who worship Chu Heng, and the possibility of betrayal under such a double insurance is infinitely close to zero.
And for the stability of this kind of rule, Chu Heng is planning to increase the number of nobles. It is one thing to elevate the status of believers above the rank of white bishop to the same level as a lord, but it is also the other thing to establish a noble school and confer honorary titles on the meritorious, and in the future, more people who have contributed to the empire will be given the status of nobility.
Of course, the Zerg is the foundation of Chu Heng, and the fundamental purpose of everything Chu Heng does is to get more energy to develop the Zerg.
The only victim of such a model is the original power of the conquered civilization, and now the power of Elsa's original work is almost wiped out because of the class system of imperial citizens and untouchables. No matter how high up you once were, as long as you weren't an Imperial citizen who believed in the gods of order. Then even if you have money, your status is not much higher than that of a pariah.
This has greatly disrupted the economic and social order of the Elsa district. But Chu Heng didn't give them a way to live, as long as they accepted the Kosmos Cult as citizens, their own rights and interests would naturally be protected. Moreover, the new nobles also need them to earn benefits for themselves, and if they are smart, they only need to find a thigh hug and the problem will be solved.
As a result, it will not be long before the old system will collapse and a new order will be established centered on the imperial aristocracy and high-ranking followers of the Kosmos cult.
Although the economy of the Elsa region will collapse because of the vision problems of the nobles of the Isa Star who cannot improve the economy of the Elsa District in a short period of time, the economic situation of the Elsa District will not care as long as it does not affect the military strength of the empire. To put it bluntly, everything is based on the interests of the insect swarm as the highest standard, and the interests of the insect swarm are naturally the interests of Chu Heng.
Colonel Boone is now very proud, he surrendered to the Zerg just to save his life and power, and now the development of events shows how right he is doing.
Although he was once a general, he was now demoted to colonel. But after thinking about who can become generals in the empire, he feels balanced, although he doesn't know who Sandra and Bihil are, but a demonic character like Yushne is just a major general is enough to say everything, not to mention that Yushne's title is only a little higher than his second-class viscount.
With Polivier's establishment of a new aristocratic school as an introduction, a large number of Isstar nobles and whiteclothed bishops were escorted into the Elsa district by the First Fleet of the Empire. For these mysterious ancient nobles of the empire, Boone naturally did not dare to slack off, and after receiving Yushine's instructions, he prepared to hold a ball on behalf of the nobles of Elsa to clean them up.
Speaking of the nobles of the Great Chu Empire, Boone is not ignorant, according to the high-level of the Zerg, the Isis Star is a civilization conquered by the empire before conquering the Elsa District, but as for the real strength and territory of the empire, Boone, who is the body of the Zerg, knows nothing.
This statement is naturally a smoke bomb released by Chu Heng, because the arrival of the Isis Star nobles The secret of the Zerg will inevitably not be maintained for long, and properly maintaining the mystery of the empire is very effective for deterring the Luo Yun Star Domain, not to mention that although the Isis Star nobles know more about the Zerg than the people in the Luo Yun Star Domain, they are not combatants, and they actually don't know much about the Zerg.
Boone is not happy or happy that the Isstar nobles are coming to carve up the big cake of the Elsa District, after all, the huge Elsa District is not something that a few of their local nobles can eat.
Boone and Yushne are also different in status, although they are both nobles and hold military power, but compared to Yushne, he is far behind being able to command the Zerg fleet.
With Boone's authority, he can only mobilize no more than two hundred Zerg troops, and this is because of his privilege as a nobleman, compared to the high-level Zerg like Yushne's tens of millions of swarms, he Boone is not half a star behind.
However, Boone is very self-aware, he knows that he is too far inferior to Yushinje in terms of military talent, and it is naturally impossible for a meritocracy like the Zerg to reuse a waste like him, so if you want to get the green eyes of the empire, you must find another way, and after seeing through the national policy of the empire to rule Elsa with nobles, Boone naturally has an idea, and his first step is naturally to encircle the Isstar nobles who are more closely connected with the empire.
While Boone was immersed in excitement, his car stopped, because Chu Heng's palace was in Polivel Canberra City, this vicinity was already a no-fly zone, and no one could take a maglev or flying vehicle.
"What's going on?" Boone asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"Lord Viscount, it seems that a truck has overturned in front of you and blocked the road." Boone's chauffeur and bodyguard returned to the road.
"Damn untouchables!" Boone cursed under his breath. He had once lived in a free country, and in just a few months, he had become accustomed to his aristocratic status, accustomed to others looking at him with envy and awe, and those hateful eyes were directly ignored by him.
Obviously, it is impossible for a pariah to walk the road, but in Boone's eyes, as long as he is not a nobleman, it is the same whether he is a citizen or a pariah, and although he is a zerg body, as long as it does not violate the interests of the swarm, the soul passage has no restrictions on him.
After ten minutes, the road conditions did not improve, and seeing that the dance party was about to start in less than half an hour, Boone walked out of the car in a hurry.
Dressed in purple mage robes, Barbera looked around curiously, there were so many things that amazed him compared to Isstar, such as his current car, he couldn't figure out how such a four-wheeled car could move without using magic.
Since the establishment of the aristocratic school in Isis, many ambitious nobles and white-clothed bishops have sharpened their heads and want to enter the school to study, and Barbera's status can naturally go, but he feels that it is a very funny thing for him to study with a group of young people as an old man, so he is one of the few nobles who did not enter the aristocratic school, and he gave up the places given by the empire to the younger generations of the family who did not have a noble title.
If you don't enter the aristocratic school, you naturally won't get the Zerg to teach you about other civilizations in the universe, so now that he has just arrived in the Elsa District, he is as curious about everything as a curious baby.
At this moment, he frowned and saw a citizen of the Elsa District Empire not far in front of him, who was being punched and kicked at the behest of a nobleman, and recognized him as a citizen because he was wearing the clothes of a blue junior cultist of the Kosmos.
"The citizens of the empire are contributing their strength to the empire all the time, and the nobles of Elsa have fallen to the point that even the people of God dare to fight?" Barbera said with a look of disgust.
"Elsa's low-level nobles don't know the existence of the power of Dao faith, otherwise they would never do it for the sake of the empire." Barbera was accompanied by the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Empire, who was second only to the Empress in the Zerg...... (To be continued......)
