After a meeting of evil spirits, the Guards with the Ross Family Blood Rose and the Bugas Imperial Falcon emblem set out from the capital city of Wellington in a crowd of the new Bithynia Plenipotentiary envoy.

The sun is still very strong in June, and if it shines directly on people and they sweat for a while, the soldiers of the Guards feel very strange, why do they want to leave the cool shade of the trees and walk in a place where there are no trees on the side of the road?

"Philip, aren't you hot?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Caroline pointing to the sun above Philip's head, the freshly baked envoy realized that he had been walking under the scorching sun for a long time, and the magic robes on his body were wet with sweat and uncomfortable to stick to his body.

It's been so long, it's noon?

"Mullen, tell the whole army to rest for a while, eat lunch, and then leave. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Watching Mullen run to the team to announce the order, Philip rode back to the shade of the tree and smiled apologetically at Caroline: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, I was thinking about the problem just now." ”

Hey, I'm not used to it without Grace around, and if she were, I'm afraid I'd have dragged myself back into the shade long ago.

With the expansion of the territory, Franklin, the grand butler, also had some difficulty in handling government affairs, and when Philip left Gallia this time, he appointed Grace as Franklin's deputy to handle the complicated affairs of the province with the old butler, after all, the duchess has a life of more than a thousand years, and her extensive knowledge is enough to ensure that she handles administrative affairs correctly.

But. As a result, no one would be able to take care of Philip as well as Grace.

"Do you think of the complicated eyes of those people when we left Wellington?" said Caroline.

Philip was silent, indeed as Caroline said, leaving Wellington, the strange and oppressive atmosphere made him unforgettable.

Although Hyde and Charles, who had a lot of dealings with the councillors, came to see off Philip, they could keep their distance and did not come alone to send their blessings from beginning to end.

His distant uncle, the brains of the royalists, Dom could only pat Philip on the shoulder. Sigh silently. Either outcome in dealing with the question of Bithynia seems to be a major blow to the royalists, and even he is not out of the question.

The only consolation for Philip was that his father was still loving. "Do what you have to do. I just want you to come back safely. ”

Pity. There was only a little warmth to this, and other than that, the send-off procession from the royalists was almost terrifyingly oppressive.

Stand on the side of the aristocracy. Your Excellency, Envoy, you must suppress those troublesome mud-legged people as soon as possible, and you must not be merciful?

If so, the royalist reputation would have diminished, and even the miners would have been forced to oppose the strike.

From the miners' standpoint, my lord, the nouveau riche of Bithynia have long made us unhappy, they are obviously very rich, even if they are not willing to increase the wages of those workers, our great and righteous royalists will never allow such a thing to happen, if they are not willing to raise their wages, you will be severely fined, punished until it is ruined.

If Philip had done this, the royalists would have lost their big financiers, and they might even have the option of backing the Republicans.

No one knew how to speak to Philip, and the atmosphere at the gates was as oppressive as a dark cloud about to rain.

This raindrop is a steel knife, and the royalists will be hung off by the torrential rain anyway!

Seeing Philip frown lightly and fall into deep thought, Caroline's heart trembled a little.

He's so focused, it's so good-looking!

This temperament has appeared in his father and Uncle Nicholas, and in the future, he can become the same person as them.

At the palm of his hand, there was a hint of tenderness, and Philip turned his head to look, and at some point, Caroline had already put her warm little hand into Philip's palm.

"Whatever lies ahead, we'll deal with it together!"

——————

"Ding...... Bell ......"

One of the copper plates circled around the crockpot, and then fell down, and the owner of the crockpot, a beggar dressed in rags, immediately lit up, grabbed the copper plate with his dirt-stained hand and put it tightly into his palm, looked around with a wary face, picked up the crockpot and prepared to run.

"Phew!"

The arm-thick wooden stick struck the back of the beggar's head, and another young beggar with a black face paused, completely indifferent to the fact that the beggar in rags who had fallen to the ground had passed out, and forcefully turned the beggar in rags over, broke his fingers, and took away the copper plate he had just obtained, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

However, the young beggar's laughter did not last long, and a large wave of beggars about his age swarmed in, all of them scuffling together.

just

Just for that one copper plate.

"Okay! grab it, give me Uncle Charlemagne to continue!"

A man in a silk robe laughed wildly, and casually threw another copper coin at the twisted beggar, and from time to time new beggars joined the chaos.

"Bastard!

Caroline looked at all this, trembling with anger, and wanted to rush over to reprimand, but Philip grabbed Her Royal Highness's hand and shook her head slowly.

"It's useless, how many people can you manage, this street is full of rampant rich and lowly poor, in this city, the rich have everything. And the poor can only live humbly......"

In front of Philip and Caroline drove a carriage with gold trim, the carvings of the carriage were extravagant, and the naked women were lifelike, as if the bewitching beauty was not an ornament on the roof of the carriage, but a living little person.

The carriage stopped beside Philip and Caroline for a while, as if trying to tease the princess of the empire with her delicate faces, but as soon as they saw the murderous dozen soldiers behind the man and the woman, the people in the carriage immediately closed the curtains, knocked heavily twice on the wall of the carriage, and instructed their coachman to drive the carriage away immediately.

Looking at the luxurious carriage that had fled, a smile appeared on Philip's face.

"Happy?"

"Humph!"

The princess of the empire raised her head and said disdainfully: "I'm actually waiting for him to come down, in that way, I can justifiably beat these rich guys!"

Although Caroline has helped Lawrence deal with government affairs since she was a child, and she has reached out to the core of Bugas's power, she has not been exposed to many things at the bottom of society, at best, it is a small place near Wellington, as the capital of the second largest power in the Bright Continent, no matter how bad Wellington is, the bad deeds on the surface are limited.

Throwing money at beggars and making them kill each other, Wellington's self-proclaimed status did not dare to do it openly, and Caroline was furious when she saw this for the first time to the ugliest side of human nature.

This empire, the future is mine! How can you be allowed to destroy it like this!

"The matter of Bithynia is much more than a miners' strike, if the contradiction between the rich and the poor is not resolved, sooner or later something will happen here, and even if there is no miners' strike, there will be other poor people who will rebel. ”

A city with a huge disparity between the rich and the poor will have something happen sooner or later, otherwise there would be no Gini coefficient on the earth in the previous life.

The more the total social wealth owned by the rich, the closer this coefficient is to 1, and when this coefficient is greater than 0.4, the gap between the rich and the poor will exceed the warning line, and social unrest is very likely.

Looking at the luxurious carriages and countless beggars that can be seen everywhere on the streets, this coefficient may have already exceeded 0.4, maybe, doubled, 0.8?

Philip suddenly felt like he was in a crater.

"Alright, I'll go to the Marquis Francis, you go to Coleen, you go to Francis's mansion to find me after you talk to Colleen. ”

Caroline sighed and walked to the other end of the street with the soldiers who followed her, only to find that the situation here was more serious than she had imagined, and Caroline also felt a sense of urgency.

The 1,000 Guards army they had brought with them quietly settled into a hidden valley, and Philip and Caroline arrived at Ankud, the capital of Bithynia, with only a few men.

Caroline was visiting the Marquis de Francis Marquis, president of the Mining Association of Bithynia and the largest mine owner in the region.

Philip, on the other hand, is going to meet a woman who is both familiar and strange......

Alcohol, laughter, music

And also

Hormone......

Every city has taverns, like Philip on Earth, pubs, are essential places, where single men and women, married men and women, and maybe men and men, women and women......

"Hey, handsome!"

The woman in the low-cut blouse greeted Philip coquettishly, and her chest barely concealed as if two blush rays from the top of the mountain peak.

The woman walked up to Philip, holding the man's hand, and spit a sweet breath in her mouth, "Do you want someone to accompany you......?"

The woman rubbed her large breasts against the man's arm, and Philip immediately felt a fire rising in his lower abdomen.

It's been almost a month since he left Lobit, but Philip hasn't even touched a woman, and I don't know what's going on, Katrina hasn't even smacked with him once this month, if it weren't for the goddess occasionally summoning Philip to talk to her, Philip would have thought that something had happened to the goddess of hope.

Although Caroline has a marriage contract with herself, both of them have had another agreement and will not really marry each other.

Therefore, this month, Philip can only hold back, and he has been holding back the desire of men while watching the beautiful and picturesque princess of the empire.

As long as this desire is gently provoked, it immediately has a tendency to explode.

In short, Philip is very lustful now, and things are serious!

Otherwise, let's indulge once, and it will always be suffocated if we hold it back!(To be continued......)
