Chapter 336 The Sheriff's Office and Augustus (4000)(2/2)
It is precisely because of this kind of credit that Augustus was originally awarded the title of Earl of Gun Flame.
You know, even if it is just an earl, he can be regarded as a great nobleman and is considered an upper class in the entire empire.
The existence that can be prefixed with gun flame is even more regarded by Charles VII as his own person.
After all, no matter in any era, military power is an existence that the emperor cannot be involved in, and arms are a solid guarantee of military power.
The Augustus clan's status in the emperor's heart can be seen from the name of the earl.
They were placed in Dirno City, not because they performed poorly, but because they performed too well, they were chosen to carry out restricted tasks.
However, even though Charles VII was carrying the general power more than a hundred years ago and was unparalleled, the Augustus family had only barely gained a foothold in Dilno City and could not go further.
It was not because of the lack of ability, but because the city of Dirno has been deeply imprinted by the two families of Tilros and Chris, and there was no extra room to accommodate another Earl family.
However, the saying that science and technology are the core productivity is still correct even if it is a different world.
With the power of transcending the times, the Augustus family broke their chronic conditions, tore the shackles, and brought the city of Dirno into a new era.
The old era did not carry the position of the Augustus family, but the new era could accommodate a new family of Counts.
Of course, this is also the fact that the Tilros family and the Chris family acquiesced. After all, they do not want to fall into the dust of history.
If you want to take this last bus, you can only get what you want by giving up something.
But the problem is that they are not fools. Although the things they abandon are important, they do not touch the core interests, and are enough to hurt them.
So, after the city of Dirno developed and after the Augustus family stood firm, they discovered another problem.
That is, although they have obtained certain rights, this is only commercial, economic, and political rights, which are still tightly held by the Tilros and the Chris family.
Although there are regulations that the children of nobles in the empire are not allowed to serve within the sphere of influence of the family.
But you should know that in the era of the decline of imperial power, it is hard to say how much coercive power there is in this regulation.
As two extraordinary families who have controlled Dirno City for nearly three hundred years, it is almost unimaginable how strong the control over Dirno City is.
Charles VII was indeed overwhelmingly over the world and had unparalleled power.
But even so, Charles VII also experienced many assassinations in his life.
It is hard to say who the main messenger behind these events is, but I think it should be a conservative work.
After all, there are many great nobles who were destroyed by the changes of the times and fell under the wheel of history.
In the late period of Charles VII's rule, such assassination incidents were much less than before. After all, the bloody reality shocked many people.
But the problem is that it is impossible to do it openly, and they can also play some other fun things.
Just like Dilno City, they agreed to the Augustus family's entry and promised the other party's legal rights.
But the most important and most important, the local governments of the central government that they are manipulated and influenced by them have no compromise at all.
Because they know that interests are just pains, but as the city of Dirno develops, they can get more.
But if those things are let go, what is lost will be long-term voice.
However, the first patriarch of the Augustus family was not a simple person. When he could not directly take back his rights, he took a different approach and held the Public Security Bureau in his hand.
The Public Security Administration in the new era is naturally different from the old era, whether it is the system or the means of action.
But the most important thing is equipment.
After entering the steam era, gunpowder weapons became the mainstream weapon in the ordinary world, and the core force for the royal family to control the empire and suppress rebellion.
Therefore, the dressing change of the Public Security Department cannot be stopped.
It was precisely with this opportunity that the Augustus family won the first and most critical pedal to enter the political arena of Dirno.
Alan's thoughts returned from the long history, and a trace of enlightenment flashed through his eyes.
