Blackstone Code

In a tavern in the city, some single men drank wine mixed with water and chatted.

This is actually a very strange thing.

At any time, almost wherever people gather, there will be a tavern.

There will also be people spending money here, which is very magical!

But then again, there is no shortage of people in this world who work hard, and there is no shortage of people who add a sense of accomplishment to those who work hard.

Why do you say most people here are single?

If they were not single, they would not be able to exchange the various relief cans for wine.

Only bachelors can take out these things.

In addition to these people, there are some wealthy people, but not particularly wealthy.

The future is obscured by fog and confusion. No one knows where this country will go in the future.

The confusion makes everyone willing to sit here and chat about the future of this empire.

“I think what was announced outside the Privy Council today is a very good signal!”

A guy with meticulous hair and clean clothes expressed his opinion while holding a glass of wine.

"It's clear that they're copying the Federals, whether they admit it or not, I think that's it."

"This is a very smart approach. Our mistake in the past was not changing something in time to keep up with the changes of the times."

"Look at the Federation people... no, even the period after Amelia, you should all know about it, right?"

"The market is fully liberalized and trade is free. Their taxes are much higher than before!"

"We should have done this a long time ago!"

Many people expressed the same view.

Amelia did indeed do well in the last period. Under Lynch's initiative, Amelia became a free trade zone.

Low taxes, zero threshold.

Anyone can engage in commercial and trade activities, unlike on the main island, which requires various conditions, and even must be attached to a noble to engage in trade.

In particular, large-scale trade is no longer the privilege of the nobility. Anyone who has money, or even no money, but can facilitate multi-party transactions can also get a lot of benefits from it.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, more and more people are doing business, even though the Governor of the SAR has seemingly lowered the commercial tax rate.

But because there are more active market trade activities, taxation has not been reduced, but has been increased a lot.

You can get so much profit without harvesting businessmen, and the society is particularly supportive of the policies of the SAR government. This has almost solved the problem of nobles harvesting capitalists in turn for many years.

Looking at this from another perspective, in essence, it gives full respect to capital and releases capital from the cage.

The terrible power of capital can also be seen. Not long after it was released, it began to rapidly pollute everything that could be polluted.

Judging from his attire, the gentleman who spoke should also be a small businessman.

What small businessmen look forward to most is a completely open market, so that they can find many business opportunities based on their own abilities.

Whether your life is good or not is no longer related to whether there are nobles supporting you, but to your own abilities.

His words attracted the approval of many people. In any era, there is no shortage of capable people and people who think they are capable.

These people are not the kind of rigid and dogmatic people who don't like flexibility. They yearn for the social mechanism of the Federation very much.

But some people expressed dissatisfaction with this statement.

"I think this is unlikely. If everything becomes like the Federation, what will the nobles and the royal family do?"

"It's impossible for them to be like us, right?"

"Have you ever thought about whether nobles would put themselves at a disadvantage?"

"No, there must be something hidden in all this that we can't understand. It's definitely not that simple!"

"I prefer the way it was before. At least at that time, our lives were not so tiring!"

People's arguments never stopped for a moment.

In fact, the people of this island have also experienced the terrible support of the free market.

After the Pengeos left, the nobles did not return with anything. For such a long time, many places relied on blood transfusions and smuggled goods in the countryside to survive.

At that time, the free market was fully reflected.

The price of anything is not stable, and new changes may occur in just a few seconds.

Everyone doesn’t know what the money in their pocket can buy.

A dollar might buy two pounds of flour one minute, but only one pound the next.

Prices fluctuated wildly without any restraint, and everyone was trading cautiously. It was a really bad time.

The only people who enjoyed it were the smugglers and small businessmen. They had a way to get some food and supplies, and then tried their best to make huge profits from it.

Whenever we think back to days like that, many people will shudder.

Although the days when nobles ruled the country were not very comfortable, at least it was not a big burden for ordinary people.

Now, too bad!

With the help of alcohol, the discussion became louder and louder, and the rationality became less and less. People began to argue and curse simply for their positions.

As the first wine glass arced through the air and landed on the head of an unlucky guy, the whole bar became lively.

The bartender watched all this calmly, and when someone tried to reach into the bar, he would pick up a stick and hit them hard on the head.

As for the chaotic fight outside the bar that had already been completely chaotic?

The cups are made of wood, all kinds of tables and chairs are made of wood, even the plates are made of wood, they are worthless!

The small businessman's hair was meticulously combed, and his nostrils were punched with blood. A homeless-looking guy who he would never even look at on a normal day was riding on him.

Holding his hand with one hand, the other clenched into a fist and punched his face randomly.

Fighting, high-intensity fighting, is very tiring.

The fist was strong at first, but after a few hits, it became limp.

There were people fighting everywhere, some of them had nothing to do with their positions and just wanted to fight.

Everyone has some pent-up pressure in their hearts that they urgently need to vent, and a fight is the best way.

This scene happens not just in taverns, but in many places, even on the streets.

Because someone jumped in line, a fight between two people turned into a melee that spread throughout the square.

People have been depressed for too long and need to vent too much!

Lynch found out about this the next morning during breakfast.

Zegna is currently making a cameo appearance as the chief steward of the royal family. Lynch has not interfered with the operations here. It is also a tradition for people of royal blood to manage the palace.

During the meal, Xenia told these things as if she were telling a joke, and Her Majesty the Queen also found it very interesting.

Lynch felt that it was urgent to strengthen public security work.

If public security is not good, some negotiations will become passive, and some public security problems may also arise.

You know, once people start to get used to the lack of legal constraints, the demons in their hearts will be released.

They will definitely use "lucky" as a reason to convince themselves to commit crimes at first. After they succeed once, they will become calm and confident.

】

This will also make local security extremely poor.

"Someone will definitely ask about this later, and you have to think about how to answer."

Her Majesty the Queen will definitely make an appearance after returning to Gafra. People from all walks of life also hope to have a more comprehensive communication environment with Her Majesty the Queen.

Therefore, the main work today is to hold a press conference and answer questions raised by reporters.

Massive fights broke out everywhere last night, and the media will definitely want to dig up some news material from them.

Moreover, the media coming was not only from the island of Gefra, but also from abroad.

Her Majesty the Queen's smile froze, and she suddenly missed the life in the Federation very much.

Carefree, but now, she has to think about other people's affairs and how to deal with reporters' difficulties!

This is not fun at all!

Her Majesty the Queen used her strength to deal with the food, and the reporters on the other side had begun to wait anxiously.

Countless cameras and cameras cover every inch of space.

Recording sticks used for recording are hung everywhere.

At 9:20, Her Majesty the Queen arrived in full dress. From the moment she entered the palace, the flashing lights never stopped.

The queen was so blinded that she couldn't see anything at all. If it weren't for Lin Qi's help, she almost couldn't find her chair!

It wasn't until a while later that the flashes of flashlights gradually subsided.

It’s not that people captured enough footage, it’s purely that they needed to change their magnesium powder.

From the countless reporters with their arms raised high, Her Majesty the Queen randomly selected one that she found pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Prince, I am... a reporter from a newspaper."

"Yesterday, I saw part of the Privy Council's announcement. From it, I found that the power of the royal family is being decentralized. Does this mean that the royal family will completely leave the ruling stage in the future?"

"Will the royal family move out of the palace and give it to the rulers to work?"

The proper question should be "one's own people".

The Queen had previewed this question last night, and she answered it easily.

“We’ve had our moments of glory and we’ve had our moments of failure.”

"What we discussed most during our exile in the Federation was why we failed."

"We had some speculation, and what we're doing now is exactly to make up for that."

"If reviving Gefra requires the royal family to retreat into the background, then this is our best option."

"But if one day in the future, the development of this country and society requires us to come to the stage, we will still come back!"

"As for the palace, this is our home. Where else can we go but here?"
