The animal trading market located in the south of Heiyan City has become very popular in the past two days. Compared with the past where it was just a place for selling pets, the horse trading area here has become more lively recently.
Many people in Yancheng began to consider arranging carriages, and the power of the Norman Empire's hierarchy began to appear and affect everyone's lives at all levels. [This article comes from]
In this animal market, news has been circulating recently that the horse trading area is going to be independent from the market, and someone is going to invest in building a larger, higher-end horse trading place to cater to some people in Black Flame City in the future.
needs.
In the Norman Empire, apart from the army and public transportation, only the noble class could ride private cars in public places. Many wealthy people and businessmen in Black Flame City could only be regarded as civilians. Once the military control of Black Flame City ended, they
The car can only be left at home and played with by oneself.
Some people were frowning and sighing, but the owners of several horse farms in Heiyan City and the farmers in the surrounding farms who raised more horses were all smiling.
There are several horse farms in Black Flame City, and the business of these horse farms has been booming in recent days. Farmers who can raise horses, drive cars and take care of horses have also become very popular, which means that many people who could only work in the fields have become very popular.
Those who work will get an opportunity to work in the city in the future. Those wealthy civilians who can only own carriages at home need to hire at least two people, a driver and a driver.
A groom who raises horses must buy at least two horses that are strong enough, customize a carriage that meets the requirements of the empire, build a stable at home, and spend a sum of money every day for the horses' feed.
This is much more complicated than driving a car, so many people who are preparing to change transportation have some complaints. But even if they have complaints, they can only keep this complaint in their stomachs and dare not have any dissatisfaction. The empire's system
That's it, not to mention a few small businessmen in Black Flame City, not even the merchants in the entire empire dare to object. Even in Black Flame City, there are some people who are unhappy with this change, and even more people who are happy.
, and the number of the latter is much greater than the former.
If you want to ride a car, it's simple. You must first make enough contributions to the empire. Become a nobleman first. If a businessman wants to become a nobleman of the Norman Empire - even the Tongye nobleman, the lowest rank among the noblemen, has a minimum threshold of 1,600 gold coins in taxes or
Donation amount.
The nobility class of the Norman Empire was divided into seven levels - the lowest level was the Sycamore Leaf nobility, the next level up was the Oak Leaf nobility, the next level was the Maple Leaf nobility, and then the Pine leaf nobility. The following three high-level nobility levels were
There are Lilac nobles, Rose nobles, and Rose nobles. Each noble class has different rights in all aspects.
The leaf-like leaves on Zhang Tie's officer's certificate indicate that Zhang Tie is now in the leaf-like noble class in the hierarchy of the Norman Empire. This is also the treatment for officers starting from second lieutenant in the Norman Empire.
In the Man Empire, soldiers who serve their country will always gain more respect than those who only contribute a few gold coins to the country.
And if a businessman who has become the lowest Wutong Ye nobleman through legal tax payment or donation wants to move up a level, in addition to paying taxes and donations, the money will be doubled several times. There are also several other more stringent requirements, such as the fact that he himself has not passed
The criminal record must be a model for society in terms of morality and must not have obvious stains. It must be enthusiastic about social welfare and generous in helping others. After meeting these strict quantitative requirements, it must finally collect the signatures of at least 300 imperial civilians. Through the empire
Only through the review of the Order Review Committee can one become a noble like the Leaf.
The Oak Leaf nobles have more rights than the Sycamore Leaf nobles.
The lowest officials in the empire must at least be selected from the Oak Leaf noble class or the direct blood descendants of the Oak Leaf noble class. Neither ordinary civilians nor the Indus Leaf nobles are qualified to become imperial officials.
The hierarchy of the Norman Empire was a strict and powerful foundation for national governance. After hundreds of years of practice in the Norman Empire, this foundation of governance became stronger and more solid.
This hierarchical system is introduced by the "Chapter of Order" - this book is a legal text published by the Norman Empire's Imperial Order Review Committee that introduces the foundation of the rule of the Norman Empire. Black Flame City has been discussed the most these days.
, and this book is also the best-selling book in the bookstore.
While setting up a street stall, several guys selling things next to Zhang Tie were chattering about this topic. The most popular topics in Black Flame City recently are "Chapter of Order" and the other one is "The Empire and the Sun".
The friction and war between the divine dynasties in Karur region became increasingly fierce.
It was also from those people's discussions that Zhang Tie learned that the seven families of the Black Flame City Coal and Steel Federation, because they cooperated with the empire to "peacefully liberate" Black Flame City, the heads of the seven families would all obtain the status of the Imperial Rose Clan.
The imperial seal, and myself, because of my iron-blooded secret strength, was enlisted by Colonel Leibniz in accordance with the rules and regulations of the empire. I was lucky enough to become one of the only eight nobles in Black Flame City during the military control period, even though I was only a low-level leaf-like person.
A nobleman, but he is still a nobleman after all.
In front of Zhang Tie's carpet are several small bamboo cages. Inside the bamboo cages are golden unicorns one by one. Zhang Tie bought these from several children who caught golden unicorns when he came in the morning.
There are more than thirty golden unicorns on Tie's hand. These golden unicorns cost Zhang Tie twelve silver coins.
The golden unicorn is a kind of beetle that looks very cute. The male unicorn has a big horn on its head and looks cute. Zhang Tie caught this kind of beetle from the tree twice when he was a child. He played with this kind of beetle.
Beetles are not precious, but they are not that easy to catch and require some effort. The eleven or twelve-year-old children who live on the farm outside Black Flame City are very happy about this kind of extra money.
Zhang Tie set up a stall under the shade of a tree, watching the unicorns crawling around in the cage in front of him, while waiting for the arrival of that bastard Samira.
At this moment, Zhang Tie looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing an ordinary pioneer outfit, which was a bit old-fashioned. He was wearing a straw hat and was leaning lazily under a banyan tree with a grass stem in his mouth.
At first glance, one would know that he was a down-and-out young man among the pioneers who had not done well.
…
It was almost noon when Samira arrived. Following Samira were two strong men who looked like bodyguards.
Samira walked around the market and only received more than 30 golden unicorns in her hands. This number was not enough to complete today's task. Samira was slightly anxious. She always bought these living creatures.
He has embezzled some money. As long as he can complete the task, Master Abian does not mind giving himself such a small reward, but if the task cannot be completed, he does not have the courage to face Master Abian's anger. Don't let it happen.
Master Abian felt that he was useless and began to be dissatisfied with himself. This was what Samira feared the most.
Just when Samila was a little anxious, he saw the young man in his twenties dressed as Zhang Tie and the golden unicorns in the bamboo cages strung together at Zhang Tie's feet. Samila suddenly felt
Heaved a sigh of relief.
When he came to Zhang Tie, he didn't even ask Zhang Tie. He asked a strong man next to him to pick up the cages containing the rhinoceros on the floor of Zhang Tie, then pour out the rhinoceros inside and put them in the cage.
into a unified larger cage that he holds in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Tie, who had spit out the grass stems, asked in a rough voice with an angry look on his face.
"I want these golden unicorns of yours!" Samira glanced at Zhang Tie's attire, and a disdainful expression flashed across her face.
"Take something without asking the price?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Ha!" Samira chuckled and looked at Zhang Tie like a country bumpkin, "Is this your first time here? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are, if you want what's mine, you have to pay!"
"Of course, I will definitely pay!" Samira said, taking out a few silver coins from her arms, throwing them to Zhang Tie, turned around and left, followed by the two big men beside him.
Samira had just taken a few steps when Zhang Tie ran after her from behind. "You only gave me eight silver coins, which is not enough money. I need at least 16 silver coins for these golden unicorns..."
Samira turned around together with the two big men.
"Boy, don't be so shameless. I'm the only one buying your golden unicorn in the entire Black Flame City. It's just a child's plaything. Giving you eight silver coins is already a sign of respect for you!" Samira's face suddenly changed.
It got cold.
Zhang Tie tossed 8 silver coins to Samira, "This is your silver coin. Give me back my unicorns. There are 23 in total. I won't sell them!"
Samira did not accept the silver coin thrown by Zhang Tie, but glanced at a strong man next to her. When Zhang Tie reached out to grab the cage in Samira's hand, the strong man roughly grabbed Zhang Tie's hand.
Tie was pushed back a few steps and sat down on the ground.
"Boy, if you continue to tell the truth, I will be rude to you. Take the silver coins on the ground and get out of here!" Samira cursed Zhang Tie, then turned away and walked away. The two strong men beside him protested.
Zhang Tie made a gesture with his fist.
Seeing that there was a dispute here, many people gathered around.
"Boy, forget it. That person is working for Master Abian. You can't afford to offend him. Take the few silver coins on the ground and leave quickly!" a kind person advised.
Zhang Tie sat blankly on the ground for a few seconds, as if he had been greatly wronged. Then he shouted, jumped up from the ground, and chased Samira, who had already taken out a bag from his arms halfway.
The people next to him were startled by the bright dagger. They didn't expect Zhang Tie's temper to be so strong.
Everything that happened next happened too fast.
Samira stopped until Zhang Tie yelled. As soon as she turned around, she saw Zhang Tie rushing over with a dagger. Zhang Tie's dagger instantly stabbed him in the body, hitting his heart until the handle was gone. Then Zhang Tie
Tie grabbed the cage with the golden unicorn in his hand and ran away without stopping...
It wasn't until Zhang Tie ran more than ten meters that the two muscular men following Samira realized what had happened. They glanced at Samira, who fell to the ground instantly, and chased Zhang Tie together.
Zhang Tie ran towards the wild mountain south of Black Flame City. Zhang Tie's speed was too fast. The two strong men gritted their teeth and used all their strength to chase after them less than fifty meters away.
It came further and further away, and finally got into the woods and could no longer be seen...
In the end, the two strong men went into the woods and searched for a while, but couldn't find a single hair. They could only return to the place where Samira was stabbed in frustration. When they came back after all the trouble, Samira was already dead.
I can't die anymore.
Just when the two of them were chasing Zhang Tie, the onlookers found out that someone was dead and immediately dispersed. No one even took a look at Samira who fell on the ground.
Everyone felt that Samira deserved it. When they saw the two big men who followed Samira coming back with depressed faces, many people in the market even became happy.
"That bastard Samira should have died long ago!"
"It's just that the Chinese young man ran too fast and his temper was too strong..."
"I heard that the Chinese in the Norman Empire are not easy to deal with?"
"Of course, this will also make some bastards behave better!"
Among all the people, only a local snake in the market paled when he saw Samira lying on the ground. From the comments of those around him, he already knew that the person who killed Samira was the person who killed Samira that morning.
He gave a few silver coins to the Chinese young man who asked him about Samira. But at this time, even if he was beaten to death, he would not admit that someone asked him about Samira.
This is a vendetta caused by unfair trading, that's it, that's it! I have never even seen what that Chinese young man looks like, absolutely never! It's such a pity that such a thing happened in the market!
The man said this to himself twice in his mind.
At the market, police officers soon came to investigate the scene, and then recorded the cause of Samira's death and what happened. The murder was a major case, and the police officers struggled for more than an hour before finally letting the two muscular men take Samira away.
Mira's body was taken away. To the sheriffs, the murderer was just a Chinese pioneer in his twenties. The person's name was unknown, where he came from, where he lived, and what else.
My partners and friends didn't know that under the gossip of a bunch of witnesses around me, even the appearance of that person became strange. Moreover, that person ran away after killing others. Who knows if there will be another one?
Back to Black Flame City? For this kind of case, whoever is interested will take care of it. Anyway, they don't have the time to go to the wild to find such a person. At most, they can just ask colleagues in Black Flame City to pay attention to Black Flame in the past few days.
There are no Chinese pioneers in their twenties who meet these characteristics in the city.
…
Soon after Samira's body was moved back to the luxurious manor castle next to the Green Lake in Black Flame City, Master Abian, who had a high reputation in Black Flame City, learned about Samira's death...
