Chapter Fifty-Eight: My Lord, Please Stay
Chen Sheng observed the national conditions of the Blue Moon Country, if this kind of oppression had been placed in the Blue Star in the previous life, the people would have rebelled a long time ago.
But there is martial arts in this world, and a yellow-level powerhouse can easily suppress thousands of these serfs, and he can't resist at all.
The nobles grasped the secrets and resources of cultivation, and the commoners and serfs had no place to turn over. Even if a slave accidentally picks up the secret of cultivation, they can't practice even if they can't read.
Even if the cultivation is successful by accident, the status of a slave will be excluded by the ruling group.
On the grass outside the town not far from the Free City, Qin Xueyan and Chen Sheng were laughing at each other and practicing their riding skills.
In the Blue Moon Country, horseback riding is a compulsory course for the knight class, and the main source of knights is the unsuccessful competitors who have seized power in the family.
Those who dare to seize power do not lack strength and wisdom.
They could not stay in the clan and serve the victors like other brothers who did not participate in the seizure of power, and becoming knights and leaving the clan was their only option.
According to the stealth rule among the nobility, the winner will give the loser a sum of money and then purge the other party from the family to show his generosity.
The loser will be a knight, or join the royal ruling system, work as an ordinary official all his life, and be awarded the title of honorary nobleman.
Either join the power of the fief noble, and if you win the favor of the fief noble, you can also become a subsidiary nobleman of the fief noble.
In the end, it is a business trip, and if you are lucky, you can buy a low-level aristocratic title to pass on, and if you are not good, you will lose your family and sell yourself as a slave.
It was not surprising that the people of the town were also interested in Chen Sheng and Qin Xueyan learning equestrianism, after all, this place was near Freedom City.
The number of nobles in the Free City is second only to the royal capital of the Blue Moon Country, and every year a group of losers pass by.
Or go to the royal capital to seek opportunities, or travel the whole country to find the master.
Not every aristocratic heir knew how to play equestrianism, and it was not surprising to see the two learn equestrianism.
On the country road, Chen Sheng and Qin Xueyan rode slowly forward.
It is the early spring of the Blue Moon Peninsula, and the mist, young grass, dead branches and budding wheat fields on the vast plains form a far-reaching landscape painting.
Syllable! The loud sound of a leather whip spoiled all this.
A middle-aged man dressed in thick, black, messy linen used a leather whip to drive a group of scrawny and unclothed slaves ahead of him.
Twilight and sluggishness are the best manifestations of this group of slaves.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the man with the whip looked behind him.
Seeing the gorgeous and clean clothes of Chen Sheng and the two of them, as well as their healthy and flushed complexions, the man immediately raised the long whip in his hand to drive away the slaves and make way for a wide road.
Then everyone immediately bowed their heads and stood on both sides of the road, as if to engrave servility in their bones.
Chen Sheng, who came to this world from the 21st century of Blue Star, was deeply uncomfortable when he saw all this. Chen Sheng is not a virgin character, otherwise he would not have given the power to the war maniacs on the Star to massacre in the port of Freedom City, but he also has his own bottom line.
Perhaps sensing Chen Sheng's gaze, a group of slaves trembled.
You must know that it is not illegal for a knight to kill another person's slave, just like killing someone else's domestic animal, just accompany the money.
In this world, there are not a few nobles who take pleasure in killing slaves.
A group of slaves silently bowed their heads and prayed that they would not encounter such a demon.
Chen Sheng retracted his gaze, shook his head and continued to drive his horse forward, these people had been deeply enslaved.
After Chen Sheng walked away.
Syllable! The middle-aged man continued to swing his long whip, venting his fear on the slave.
"Let's go! If you can't complete the task, don't eat at night. The middle-aged man shouted fiercely.
"I didn't expect the world on the mainland to be like this, and the islands under the rule of our Great Luo Sect are not as ruthless as they are!" Qin Xueyan sighed.
"What? You want to help them, come to an uprising! Chen Sheng said.
"What is an uprising?" Qin Xueyan couldn't understand Chen Sheng's modern vocabulary for a while.
"Just give them force! Columns such as firearms, artillery, etc. Let them overthrow the rule of the aristocracy and establish a country free of exploitation, free of oppression, where everyone is equal, where everyone has land and food. Chen Sheng said.
"Is it possible?" Qin Xueyan said suspiciously.
"Not now! But is it quite possible later? ”
Chen Sheng thought of the seeds of institutional industrialization that he had sown with the Loerli family.
As long as the Loerli family starts to act, they will frantically expand the market and productivity under the power of capital.
To this end, they have to broaden the wisdom of the people and train a large number of apprentices to control the mechanism.
In this way, the secret of the industrialization of the institution will be quickly guessed and imitated by the major nobles.
At that time, a new capitalist aristocracy will be born slowly, and they will actively seek markets, materials, and human resources under the influence of capital.
And the fiefdom nobility will inevitably become the enemy of the new nobility.
For the sake of markets, materials, and human resources, the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy are bound to clash.
If anyone had mentioned it, a war of emancipation would have begun.
As for the outcome, it can only depend on the destiny of heaven.
In a coastal town, Chen Sheng and Qin Xueyan are ready to stay here to join the Xingchen.
"Two adults, please stay!"
Chen Sheng was instantly stunned! This is very similar to the tone of a certain character in Hong Huang, who shouts, who is unlucky.
Chen Sheng looked back and saw an old man dressed as a housekeeper looking at him with a respectful face.
"What?" Chen Sheng asked lightly.
"Our Viscount, please!" The old butler bent down again and said respectfully.
"Not available!" Chen Sheng refused. Chen Sheng didn't want to get involved in the gossip among the nobles of the Blue Moon Country.
The old butler's old face suddenly stiffened, don't ordinary knights like to befriend the nobles and nobles of the fiefdom?
After rejecting the old butler, Chen Sheng and the others entered a dilapidated inn.
Under the careful guidance of the boss, stepping on the creaking wooden board, pushing open the dusty room, a sour smell came to the nostrils.
Looking at such an environment, Chen Sheng decisively left the hotel and set up a temporary residence outside the town.
Take out a luxury tent bought outside Liberty City from the space ring and build it,
Qin Xueyan was not idle, and took out a bunch of fresh ingredients from the space ring. said to Chen Sheng: "What about the pot? ”
"Coming soon!"
Chen Sheng immediately tacitly took out a copper hot pot from the space ring and a pile of charcoal to Qin Xueyan.
Qin Xueyan quickly took over the hot pot, lit charcoal, boiled water, put seasonings, and did it in one go, quite a housewife's style.
"It's hot pot again! Can you change something else? It's hot pot every day along the way! Chen Sheng smelled the hot pot bitterly.
"After you cheat me, you dare to dislike me for not knowing how to cook!" Qin Xueyan gave Chen Sheng a dangerous look.
"Can that? I thought, marrying such a beautiful wife and helping me cook every day is too tyrannical. Chen Sheng said numbly.
"Count you as acquaintances! Tomorrow you cook! ”
Qin Xueyan said happily in his heart. (I finally got rid of the cooking, and if I didn't only boil water, I wouldn't want to eat hot pot.) )
"Good!"
Chen Sheng sighed, and only found out after a long time together.
Qin Xueyan's battle is nine stars for appearance, nine stars for battle, six stars for pride, and one star for life. I once went to learn cooking skills with Tie Sister-in-law in a hurry, but after a month, I learned hot pot from Chen Sheng.
It was still Chen Sheng who boiled the hot pot base in advance, and Qin Xueyan was responsible for boiling water and putting the hot pot base, it was that simple.
A little more complicated, Miss Qin said:
"The concubine can't do it!"
Because he was resting in the wilderness, Chen Sheng also took out four iron shields from the space ring, activated the vigilance formation on the shield and placed them around the tent to prevent someone from sneaking up.
This kind of shield is already the standard weapon on the Star, and everyone has one side.
After Chen Sheng sold the firearms, he had a worry about what if someone attacked him with a firearm in turn.
Later, I got some formation books, and I researched this kind of shield.
It is made of yellow-grade high-quality materials and engraves the formation. When attacked, activating the formation can quickly form a 360-degree spiritual shield to protect yourself for a short time, and you can also use several shield combinations to summon a stronger spiritual shield to resist the Xuan-level powerhouse.
When the spiritual power stored in the shield is exhausted, relying on the material of the shield itself can also resist the full force of the powerhouse in the early stage of the Xuan level.
In addition to summoning spiritual shields, the shield also has functions such as early warning, poison detection, and counterattack damage, which can be described as a necessary shield for murderous travel at home.
