Section 1610 First arrival on the RTY planet(2/2)
If there are any good bookstores, let’s talk about it when we go to town tomorrow.
"You guys, you can't enter the city. You can tell by the way you are dressed that you belong to a wealthy family in the city. To be honest, our little shop is a bit simple. If you guys don't mind it, I'll take it with you."
How many of you are going to check out the guest rooms?" As soon as Li Cong and others walked into a hotel, the boss immediately grabbed the waiter and came over in person. Otherwise, the waiter might be able to tell that they are the best in the area more than ten miles outside the city.
I'm at the inn, and I'm bringing a bucket of nonsense. This is a way to deal with ordinary guests, but if it is used to deal with Li Cong and the others, it probably won't work. Although the boss has opened a shop here for more than ten years, but Li Cong
He has never seen such a person before, but he can clearly see Li Cong's temperament. Not to mention ordinary dignitaries, even the people coming out of the city lord's palace have not seen this model, so they still put it
Just put away some of your usual jingles and be honest.
"Haha, we really can't get in. Now let's take a rest at your place. Just give us two rooms. It doesn't need anything good, as long as we can sleep." After Li Cong finished speaking, he threw out a gold
Melon seeds, what a good guy. This shop owner is even more sure that Li Cong has a good background. How can gold be used in their place? Even if he uses gold, he has to use gold coins. A gold coin is only one or two gold coins.
Yes, there must be one or two of these that Li Cong threw out. This is equivalent to 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins. The prices here are not high. This one copper coin is about equivalent to one yuan in the world. These tens of thousands
These people can live for 1 yuan a night, but if this tael of gold is only 50 grams on earth, it can be sold for more than 20,000 yuan. When it comes here, it has depreciated by half, but the gold customers here have always been
This price has never fluctuated since the establishment of the two empires. This also surprised Li Cong. Regardless of anything else, there must be much more gold here than on the earth. Otherwise, they would not have paper money here.
All the money is hard currency, how do they get it? It must be because of the abundance of resources.
"Oh, thank you very much for the reward. I think some of you haven't eaten yet. Go to the back. Please come to the room to eat. Although the conditions here are average, I dare to boast about this cook.
You gave me a little more, so this meal will be free of charge for all of you during your stay in the hotel. Please..." This boss is really good at doing business. Staying here for one night only costs one silver coin, and eating a meal
How much does it cost to eat? I haven’t met such a wealthy customer for a long time. Li Cong and others also smiled and nodded. They didn’t mind what kind of food they had. Now Li Cong just wanted to find a place to have a good rest.
Yes, there are more and more data on the transmitter, and you have to take a look at it yourself. Otherwise, what's the point of collecting so much data that no one can read it, and Li Cong also knows that some of the data they currently collect can
It’s all superficial, just like on earth. Everyone knows the news that ordinary people know. What’s the value of such news? Take some weapons and equipment as an example. We are here to occupy this place. If
How could they easily start a war without obtaining this information? What Li Cong wanted was this information, but Li Cong also knew that this information was not so easy to obtain. He had to be in a high-level position to obtain it.
And how to integrate into this society is a must. If you don't integrate, how can you rise? How can you know more information if you don't rise?
The food is still very good, but Li Cong is not in the mood to eat at the moment. While eating, he is holding a tablet and looking at the information obtained by others. After eating, the three people under him also started to go out to search for information.
At this time, Li Cong was really lucky that so many people came with him. Otherwise, he would have to go out to look for information. Maybe it’s because there is no nightlife here at all. It’s not even ten o’clock now, and there is nothing on the streets outside.
The three of them went out for a walk and came back honestly. There is a curfew inside the city. There is no curfew outside, but the rules outside are basically the same as those in the city. Many people are under curfew in the inner city.
After that, I went home to sleep honestly. No wonder Wang Chaohui here has ruled for such a long time. Everyone is so honest, and it is true that it is easier to manage.
The place where Li Cong is located is the Northern Empire. The names of the two empires are also very simple. One is called the Northern Empire and the other is called the Southern Empire. Historically, these two empires were established 50,000 years ago.
At that time, these two empires were actually one empire, and there was no distinction between north and south at all. But when the first emperor died, he had two sons, and these two guys were still twins, so trouble started
, both of them want to be the emperor, but no one wants to be the prince. If this continues, there will be a war. The two sides have been fighting for more than ten years, and no one has the ability. Their brothers have been exterminated. At this time, they
They discovered that another powerful force in their country was about to rise. At this time, the two brothers began to join forces to destroy the other force. No matter what, the war between the two brothers was a civil war. What would the fight be like?
This is all understandable. In the end, the country still belongs to their family, but if this outsider destroys it, it will no longer be a matter of their own family. This will involve the change of dynasty. After this force is suppressed, the two brothers will
Both of them have become old men. The two of them wanted to merge the entire empire, but their descendants had different views on the whole issue. In the end, with the agreement of both parties, the entire empire was divided into two.
, so there are two big empires on this planet. Because a buffer zone is needed, two small countries with a population of several million have arisen in the tropical areas. For a country with a population of several billion
For the two major empires, these small countries can be said to be insignificant, and there is no need to consider them at all. The two empires each have half of the dozen or so small countries. This is their buffer zone, but with these,
This does not mean that there are no fights between the two sides. Infighting is not just something that happened in the past in China. It is also applicable here. Traces of their wars have been everywhere for tens of thousands of years, but no one on either side has
Without the ability to kill the other side, they have been surviving, but they also found that such a war can make future generations of both sides not forget to be vigilant, and people like faint kings will not appear, so this kind of battle has the right direction.
Yes, both sides hold some wars every year, but the scale is limited to one million people, so that they can train troops and promote development. This kind of thing surprised Li Cong. This may be the most powerful war on the planet.
It's a unique thing. The purpose of fighting is to train troops, not to occupy the opponent.
Li Cong is located here in a county in the nine administrative regions of the Northern Empire. Their management system here is like this. First of all, the emperor must be the boss of the entire empire, and then there are the nine administrative regions. The head of each administrative region is here.
Just like the local emperors, they are either the emperor's sons or brothers or people with military exploits, but one characteristic is that they have a maximum term of two years here, and then they have to be transferred to other places. It seems that the emperor here is not a fool.
Yes, they also understand the principle of an iron-clad camp and flowing soldiers. Of course, the bosses of these administrative districts have their own fiefdoms, which are fixed and unchangeable. This is the county town. The county town is also divided into
There are first-level county towns and second-level county towns. This first-level county town is just like a provincial capital city on earth, while the second-level county town is what we often call a prefecture-level city. The second-level county town also includes county towns and
Things like towns and villages are not much different from those on earth. It seems that these administrative organizations are similar. The difference is that there are many nobles here. The big nobles can have a first-level county and several second-level counties.
Level counties and small nobles even only have one fiefdom in a township. The nobles can own 50% of the tax revenue in the fiefdom. The rest must be handed over to the empire, and there are people sent by the empire in these fiefdoms.
As for officials, the empire is also very strict about this management. It can be said that the nobles also have rights, but compared with the empire, they are too small.
The county where Li Cong is located is called Kahuan County. It is a second-level county. Millions of people around it are under the jurisdiction of the city lord here. There are 10,000 imperial troops stationed there, and the city lord's own army is four.
Thousands of people. There are also more than 50,000 ordinary security forces. The administrative structure here is very simple. It is not as complicated as the Huaxia Kingdom. The civil servants responsible for these millions of people include less than two dozen of these troops.
One hundred thousand people, this is very honest and honest. Because Li Cong's current location is in the inland area, there is basically no place where the army is needed. The people here are as docile as sheep, so basically
The troops in the inland area are just for show. They may not encounter the opportunity to go to the front line in ten years. The emperors of this generation are more gentle and have begun to intermarry with the Southern Empire. The relationship between them
They are almost like relatives again, but you still have to listen to the words left by the ancestors. In other times, there would be millions of people fighting every year, but recently, they no longer have wars every year, but every five or six years.
It only happened once, and it was only a few hundred thousand people each time, so it was even more peaceful.
The lord of the county where Li Cong is located is also a nobleman. If there is a relationship, he should be the cousin of the current emperor. Someone asked, why does the emperor's cousin have to have a first-level county?
The city's fiefdom shouldn't come here. That's it. His Majesty the Emperor has hundreds of cousins. There must be a problem here. If the fiefdom is divided, hundreds of counties and cities will be gone.
, do you still have any income? That is impossible, so there is a reason for this enfeoffment. The eldest son inheritance system here can be said to be much more powerful than what is implemented on earth. From the emperor to everyone below
This is the case for nobles. The eldest son can inherit 70% of the family's assets and his father's title. Even his father's young concubines can be inherited. Of course, they must have never given birth to children. Later,
One of the emperors in the middle felt that this was still inappropriate, so he could inherit even the wives he had never touched. This made sense. The lord of this county was one of the emperor's uncles.
The concubine gave birth to a son. As a concubine, he only got the title of an earl. When the earl became the lord of a county, he was well-matched. However, when Li Cong continued to read, he realized why there were so many nobles in the country and the empire could still spread.
After that, except for the eldest son, other titles are not hereditary. For example, the Lord of the City, he inherits the title of earl for life, even collecting taxes is for life. When he dies, this
Both the title and his fiefdom had to be handed over, so his son was left with a title of knight. This was only available to his eldest son. The other sons became common people after receiving a piece of property. Of course,
In many ways, he is still different from ordinary people. For example, he does not need to kneel when litigating a lawsuit. No official needs to kneel down. His descendants can also enter the royal school to study, and they can eat and drink without worrying about it until they are 18 years old.
, you can also get some New Year money every New Year, which is much better than ordinary people.
Li Cong is not that interested in some other news. He is now more interested in Kahuan County. It is estimated that he will have to start here first in the past six months. It is still necessary to know more about this place.
But he is the leader of this team. Their people have not entered the city yet. How can they collect some information here? Unfortunately, Li Cong looked at the time. It was already early in the morning, so he should rest first and enter the city at dawn tomorrow.
It is better to look for some information. If you go out to look for information in the middle of the night, others will think that there is something wrong with your head.
The nights here are similar to those on earth. Because it is spring now, the time of dawn is around six o'clock in the morning. When Li Cong woke up, all three of his men left notes and went out, and Li Cong didn't care.
It's better this way. If I take these three guys with me, I still don't feel very comfortable. The main reason is that I have the habit of being alone. It will be a little uncomfortable to follow them south. This makes Yinzi feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, although the restaurant downstairs was already full of people at this time, it didn't matter. When Li Cong came down, the boss came over in person, and didn't ask the waiter to come over. He took Li Cong with him.
Entering a private room, Li Cong smiled, ordered two breakfast items, and passed another golden melon seeds. The boss was more happy to see Li Cong than to see his own father. The owner of such a payment was
It’s not simple. There are so many people out there who can make their daily turnover for only a few hundred copper coins in the morning. How can that thing be compared to this? Just a few buns or something in front of you is only one gold coin. It seems to weigh more.
Yes, I just don’t know why this young man doesn’t have any gold coins. It’s a big loss to use such gold. I have to remind myself later. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
