Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nonsense
Turman is rich in a very special cash crop, similar to coffee beans, but unlike coffee beans, this bean has a very strange smell after grinding, and a little alcohol needs to be added to hide this strange smell and fragrance. Of course, it's better to use **, but the price of ** is too expensive, and the price of **juice is even higher and flies to outer space, many people can't afford it, so they can only use rum instead.
At this time, Rosie invited Avery to sit down in a tavern next to Garden Street, and the two sat facing each other under the umbrella in the open air, and Hano stood behind Rosie, staring at the idle crowd around him, ready to contribute his insignificant life to the safety of Lord Rosie.
This is his own fantasy.
Stirring the spoon, the sweet and mellow aroma mixed with the unique smell of alcohol seduces people's taste buds, and they can't wait to taste it, "Aveley, where is Bud?"
Bud is the clown, who seems to be always listless under his exaggerated makeup, and has to make a funny expression with a bitter face. Rossi was particularly impressed with him, perhaps officially because of such a character who brought joy to people, and his display of exhaustion and bitterness was more memorable.
Rossi noticed a small detail that Avery was no stranger to the drink, and he even asked the waiter to use Barbli rum, a specialty from the southernmost part of the empire, which was a rum made from pure sweet berries.
"He's, he's sick. Avery showed a regretful expression, "It seems that the climate in the imperial capital is unpredictable, not like the countryside where cold is cold and hot is hot, he has been sick for three days, no, four days." ”
"Have you found a doctor? If not, I know a good doctor. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, the doctor has prescribed medicine for him. ”
Rosie nodded, pausing slightly, "With all due respect, Aveley, I don't think you're an ordinary magician. ”
Avery smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a great magician. ”
Rosie looked at him with a smile and a meaningful look, "You know what I'm talking about. Actually, I didn't mean anything, I was just curious. ”
Avery put down the cup in his hand, lay his hands on his laps, tilted his head to look at the passers-by walking or sitting in Garden Street, and sighed for a while, "I used to be a nobleman. ”
Rosie nodded, not making a sound.
There is nothing unusual about Aveley's story, he is a descendant of the nobility of the Empire, like many minor nobles, who did not find a new title to inherit during the last aristocracy, and eventually was demoted from nobility to noble, and then to commoner. The wealth accumulated over several generations not only did not become a source of disaster for him to enjoy life, but rather became a source of disaster. The local small nobles are far less friendly than the big nobles in the imperial capital, and they express their desires and greed even more.
With no backer, no backing, when a little nobleman made such an unreasonable request to marry Aveley's mother, after being refused, the little nobleman directly raised the butcher's knife.
There were times when the private soldiers of the nobility were often associated with banditry, especially those who did not hide their greed and arrogance. They have done whatever they want in some backwoods, covering the sky with one hand. The Avery family's estate was plundered, their wealth looted, and his relatives were thrown out. Fortunately, these people still have some fear of the noble code, and they dare not kill Aveley, a direct descendant of the nobles, too recklessly, leaving him a way to live.
From heaven to hell, Avery experienced many changes in a short period of time that many, many people could never have imagined.
After dismissing his few remaining faithful servants, Avery embarks on his journey with Bard, the only one unwilling to leave.
This is Aveley's story.
But Rosie thinks it's farting.
The local nobles were indeed very arrogant, and they had never seen the sea, and they always thought that the river was the largest surface of the water. But the magistrates and tax collectors would not watch the interests of the imperial nobility being violated. Because any non-hereditary nobleman could have a day like Avery in Aveley's story, minus inheritance and become commoners. If they want to find a way back for themselves, they will definitely maintain the dignity that the nobility should have. Nobles are not thieves, they are not bandits, they will use means, but they will not raise a butcher's knife against a former nobleman.
Aveley's story not only did not make Rosie feel relieved, but made him more curious, what is this guy?
If he dares to tell such a lie, he should not be afraid of being investigated, which means that there is a good chance that part of this story is true. And the most fake part of this story is that during the last aristocratic period, Aveley's family did not become a vassal of a certain great noble, and what De Laure and Clarence knew to do, it was impossible for Aveley's family not to know what to do.
Rosie decided to ask the Templars to check on Avely's roots, and he had a feeling that he would one day have a direct connection with Aveley.
"Do you have any plans, should you settle in the imperial capital, or do you want to continue your footsteps?"
Avery smiled, "I will use my own feet to travel all over the Turman Empire, and maybe go to the Federation to see if it is as good as they advertise, everyone lives in peace and contentment, and there is no oppression." ”
Rosie suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Yes, there is no oppression, but there is exploitation." ”
The Federation is like the United States in the past, constantly exporting a seemingly wonderful social culture, but in fact there is no difference between the two. If you want to live a good life, you must first be exploited. This kind of exploitation is based on many rules and regulations, and it seems that all the laws are for the sake of ordinary people, but in fact these are all for the better oppression of ordinary people.
Some time ago, the Federation introduced a minimum hourly wage bill, which made the Tuhrman Empire talk about it for a while. This bill, which seems to protect ordinary workers, is actually revealing to the big capitalists the limits of what is legally recognized. Many factories and industries arrange wages according to this minimum hourly wage law, and the workload of workers is increased as much as possible, so that they can complete the eighteen hours of work in the limited eight hours, and only pay for one day.
If someone asks why the work is so tight, the capitalists will tell you that it is legally stated that everyone must be guaranteed this minimum hourly wage, but also that the workers should do their jobs well.
As for higher wages and benefits - we'll see later.
The hypocritical Federation, the hypocritical big Ah sells Rickon.
The faint sarcasm on Rossi's face didn't make Avery argue anything, he was calm and not like a person.
"I've been talking about me, so let's talk about you, former Priest Rossi, now Viscount Rossi. ”
"My story is not as wonderful as yours, it is nothing more than luck. Rossi is humble, and he certainly thinks so.
The contradictions between the church and the aristocracy intensified to the point that they had precipitated for a long time, and it happened that Rossi appeared at this point in time. If he had appeared twenty or thirty years or even earlier, the nobles would not have been willing to accept the church's conformity, even if he was willing to represent the church and fornicate with the nobility. Because after all, the Church killed an emperor in public, and although a pope paid with his life for it, this act was too bad.
Decades of precipitation have eased the relationship between them, and the contemporary pope has not further intensified the conflict because of the decline of the holy power in the era of the end of the law. After more than 300 years of calm, the aristocratic class, which overthrew theocracy and ruled the world, gradually surfaced the contradictions of different factions and groups in the aristocratic class without the interference of external forces, without the oppression of external forces forcing them to unite. The struggle between the Heinsys aristocracy and the Fabio aristocracy escalated, and the struggle for power between the nobility and the royal family was also fierce.
They need more stability and focus more on taking down each other.
Rosie stepped on such a node to enter this world, appeared in front of the nobles, and on behalf of his own alternative, he launched an offensive of "curve to save the country", using the "betrayal" behavior of some church diehards to save this dying church.
Let's just say that his luck is really good!
Prince Fabio accepted Rossi's surrender.
If there is any deviation, I am afraid that Rosie will still stay in the small town of Green at this time, as a little auxiliary priest who eats and waits for death.
The two chatted all over the world, Avery had been to many places, and many strange customs and customs were vividly said in his mouth, which opened Rosie's eyes. The Tullmans are not a large ethnic group, but many people have become Tullmans due to continuous assimilation for more than a thousand years, otherwise there would be no pure-blood aristocracy.
Some areas still retain the original customs, which are so interesting that before you know it, more than an hour passes.
Avery got up to take his leave, but Rosie didn't hold back. When he was far away, Rossi shook his neck and said to Hano, "Remember to ask Arrez to check him out." After a pause, "Is the stonemason home?"
A grim look flashed on Hano's face, "I've sent him back to his hometown." ”
