Blackstone Code

Every country has its own troubles. Just as most federal people are opposed to the federation approving batches of immigrants to enter the federation, the Gefra people are also opposed to the federal people taking away the projects and profits that belong to them.

On the contrary, the demands of the lower class in Gefra society are not so easy to be satisfied, because the way in which the upper class is formed is not based on elections.

However, it is also beneficial to meet the demands of the lower class. It can at least reduce some people's dissatisfaction with the upper class and alleviate people's anger.

Governor Seder's statement can be said to satisfy the thoughts of most Gefra people in Amelia Province. Yes, the federal people should be given a hard look to let them understand that this is Gefra's Amelia. Not federal!

In the central area of ​​Zhulis City, after two inspections, Lynch's motorcade finally entered the core of the city - the urban area built within the moat.

Most countries in the world with deep histories and their cities are often built around something in common, such as an ancient city, a family castle, or a free trade market.

Zhulis was originally a small city with city walls and a moat. Later development demolished the city walls, but the moat remained.

Almost all the Gefra people living here now live in the moat because of safety.

Living outside the moat is very dangerous. Who knows whether those crazy anti-Japanese militants will sneak into the city to assassinate them. This is not the first time this has happened, and it has also led to a kind of local ideological confrontation.

The Gefra people live in the best place, which is called the "Imperial Zone". Outside the Imperial Zone is the space where the indigenous people live.

There will never be pure friendship between two incompatible groups, there will only be conflicts, and as the conflicts continue to escalate, they will eventually lead to terrible conflicts.

The lights were brightly lit inside the moat, but it was pitch black outside.

"We want to embarrass the Federation!" At this time, in a big house in the moat, the Gevra businessmen gathered together were discussing this matter. News suddenly came from the country that the emperor agreed to the Federation's diplomacy. At the request of the mission, they should be given the same treatment as the Gaevra people in Amelia.

If there are just some people who want to come to work and simply do business, that's no problem, but the people they face barely conceal their attitude, they are here to steal business.

How could this kind of thing satisfy the businessmen of Gaevra? From top to bottom, they all expressed their displeasure with people like Lynch, but at the same time they couldn't be too direct. After all, this was personally promised by His Majesty the Emperor.

The governor has his own methods, and the businessmen have their own methods. They want to prevent Lynch from coming to power. At the same time, this is also a warning to let the arrogant boy understand that this is Gaevra's territory, not the federal people's.

No matter how well he does in the Federation, he must keep his tail in check here!

Someone asked, “What should we do?”

Some people also have some special ideas, "Maybe we can hang up the sign again..."

The sign is a sign that has become popular in the Imperial District in recent times. Some shops that provide services will put up a sign outside the door, which will read "Only Gafra citizens/No entry for lower-class people" is discriminatory. rule.

Although some people outside the empire had opinions on this, including those who were the first to surrender, in the end they were still unable to shake the birth and popularity of the brand.

It is said that there is the tacit approval of the governor behind this incident. He used to be very gentle towards the people here, but these people betrayed his trust, and now he has become tough.

Since you can’t stand and speak, then live on your knees!

Some people also proposed to use some words that the federal savages could not understand to ridicule them. In short, everyone's attitude and position on this matter were surprisingly consistent.

More than ten minutes later, Lynch's car stopped outside the big house.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw the Gevra merchants standing on the steps, as well as the sign and the words on it that were specially placed in the most eye-catching place. He looked at the smiles on those people's faces that looked like they were reserved but were actually arrogant. , Lynch didn’t show much anger on his face.

It is not a good thing for a person to express his emotions on his face too easily. He understood this decades ago.

His movements only paused slightly, and if no one paid too much attention to him, they might not notice this.

Mr. Wei, who was at the front of the steps, looked down at Lynch without moving, and moved his lips, "Mr. Lynch, I am Rufu, the president of the local chamber of commerce. Welcome to visit!" It's a very beautiful word, but it's also very useful. This is the biggest difference between Gaevra and the Federation.

In the culture of the Federation, equality and freedom are the core things. Whether it is laws or three views, people in the Federation are equal. Even if a homeless man stands in front of the president, he will not be affected. Honorifics need to be used because they are equal in personality, but have different divisions of labor in society. No one is superior to the other.

Everyone believes this. Capitalists are talking about it and improving it. Politicians are talking about it and improving it. Ordinary people really believe it and will continue to believe it.

Therefore, in federal society, even two people with very different statuses are unlikely to use honorifics to address each other. Instead, they directly use "you" as the second person address to express their respect for personality and fairness. , respect for freedom①.

However, in the monarchy country of Gaevra, the social classes are strict and the following illegal behaviors are strictly prohibited. The multi-level society abides by the same rules and systems. The common people are the low-privileged class, and the privileged class is the low-ruling class. This is It’s the rules, it’s the three views.

Therefore, the Gefra people use honorifics more than the Federation people, and they also enjoy the way others use honorifics to embellish their titles in other people's mouths.

Such as "respectable", "honorable", etc., they also used honorifics when addressing Lynch, but their expressions were not as full of respect as they said.

Rufu, the president of the local chamber of commerce, looked at Lynch condescendingly. As soon as Lynch entered the house, he would ask Lynch if he was from Gaevula.

In fact, he already knew the answer. How could Lynch be from Gefra? He was from the Federation, and he also saw the signs around people, and people could laugh at him.

Sometimes the brain circuits of these people are not very understandable. Their general idea is to ridicule Lynch for being "illiterate" and can't even read the brand. Through this very obscure content, they imply that the federal people have no history. Descendants of thieves and criminals.

Well, this kind of ridicule is too damn elegant. For another person, it may not be able to feel anything. They may even be confused by the laughter of those who follow, and this inexplicability will further aggravate the emotions of these people—— Oh my god, look at this bumpkin from the country. He doesn't even know what we're laughing at him. What a bumpkin!

That's about it.

But Lynch didn't give them a chance. He didn't step into the house. Instead, he looked around. When he entered, he discovered that even in the Imperial area, there were dense patrols patrolling at night.

At this time, the two sides were facing each other, and no one gave in. Lynch was not in a hurry. After waiting for about two minutes, a patrol team approached.

When they passed by, Lynch suddenly stopped them.

"I'm Lin Qi, you should know me..."

The people in the patrol nodded. Although the new noble in the empire was just a baron and had not been officially canonized, Lynch was considered half a noble anyway.

Compared to the unscrupulous businessmen with various aristocratic backgrounds behind them, these patrol members are a little more normal.

Lynch pointed to the soldier among them holding the dog, "Can I ask you a favor?"

The soldier put his feet together and saluted a military salute, "Of course, Your Excellency!"

Lynch nodded, glanced at the person on the steps who already felt something was wrong, and then said to the soldier, "Can I trouble you to hold your pet and stand by the steps over there?"

The soldier glanced at the steps not far away, walked over without replying, then stood facing Lynch, "Yes, Your Excellency!"

Lynch then tidied up his clothes and stepped into the door. He did not go down the steps to face the Gaevra merchants on those steps. Instead, he walked to the steps, bent down, and looked at the dog, "Hello. , I am Lynch..."

The faces of the gentlemen on the steps suddenly became extremely ugly. They wanted to use this method to humiliate Lynch and make him unable to find an excuse to fight back against them.

But what they didn't expect was that their plan didn't succeed, and instead they were humiliated by Lynch.

According to the rules of this kind of occasion, the first person to greet the invitees should be the organizer to express respect for each other.

Today's organizer is the president of the local chamber of commerce. Lynch did not greet the real president, but greeted a dog. At the same time, he "personified" the dog, and added the eye-catching sign next to it, the person on the steps My face turned purple!

The soldier was a little nervous and didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively felt that the atmosphere here seemed a little bad. "Sir, can I continue patrolling?"

Lynch took out a solid color from his pocket and stuffed it into the soldier's breast pocket, "Of course, soldier."

The soldiers saluted and quickly left with the patrol. Small characters like them couldn't stand the trouble.

The president reacted and looked at Lynch with a sly smile, "Mr. Lynch, you really know how to joke."

Lynch said with a smile on his face, "No, when it comes to joking, I'm still far behind you."

It was a very unpleasant first meeting. The president faintly realized that this was definitely not an easy role to play. He was clearly standing on the land of the Gefra people, but he still acted so tough. Where did his courage come from?
