God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet
Chapter 298: : The Fall of the Empire (34) Citizen Lure Before Night Falls…
I, a 20-year-old Boris citizen, Lour Yaihua, joined the High Sailors Guild in 1417 through the recommendation of my father. My father is a decent man, and with a good income in recent years, he can made a lot of money, so my entry went very smoothly.
After joining the Senior Sailors Guild, and relying on the foundation laid by the Enlightenment School and the college assistants, after a few months of running-in period, I adapted to my new job and followed my own chamber of commerce.
By the way, the chamber of commerce I joined is not a small chamber of commerce, but a Geermark trade caravan. Although it is not the top big chamber of commerce in Bourbon, it has the name of the Geermark family. Shuiqi has a good income every year.
When I joined the association, my receptionist told me with a proud face that because Bourbon has often been at war over the years, the Gehrmark Chamber of Commerce, which has special news channels, can always be one step ahead of those without news channels. , and is often hired by the military to perform some auxiliary tasks, which is very profitable.
At the end, the receptionist also pretended to be mysterious and told me that due to the frequent occurrence of wars and the severance of overseas markets in the past few years, now only war-type chambers of commerce such as Geermark are mixed. The Chamber of Commerce gradually went bankrupt, and there were countless unemployed workers and sailors. I remember that in those years, the public security had deteriorated sharply. King Lure VIII had to issue a severe punishment order, hanging more than 3,000 people and exiled more than 7,000 mobs to stop this riot. deterioration.
Nowadays, the price of sailors is not cheap. The single sailors are the most popular. They only ask for a bite to eat and a place to sleep, and they also agree to volunteer to help the Chamber of Commerce to do black work.
As for the sailors who are dragging their families, they can't compete with single sailors in the competition of the chamber of commerce, and they still have a family to support. Bourbon launched martial law again and hanged the troubled sailors every day. In the end, they did not escape. When I went to Pokang, I signed a death contract with the military and went overseas to fill the ditches.
He talked to me so much, and tried his best to describe the miserable situation of the lower-level sailors today. There is only one implication. Since the employment environment is so bad today, as a senior sailor, you rely on money and connections. I joined the Chamber of Commerce easily, but I am not grateful for Dade's dedication to the Chamber of Commerce?
I have to admit that the alarmist rhetoric that I received at the time really frightened me, who was only 20 years old at the time, because I had never paid attention to the situation of the bottom sailors before, and thought the truth was what he said.
Therefore, in the first 2 years of joining the chamber of commerce, I have been working diligently, down-to-earth, and hard-working, for fear of being expelled from the chamber of commerce because of my slack, and then becoming an unemployed sailor with a family and a family, and I can only sign a death contract with the military. Was transferred to do not know which ditch to fight barbarians.
I worked so hard for 2 years. At first, I saw that other senior sailors who were similar to my family were very slack. I thought they were paying more money than me, so I could only grit my teeth and continue to work. In the end of 1418, at the Sailors' Celebration, which was privately organized by the Chamber of Commerce, I unexpectedly found out that I had been deceived.
Amidst the laughter of the sailors, I realized that what I said in the introduction more than a year ago was pure exaggeration. Although there were unemployed sailors at that time, it was not as serious as the introduction. Thinking of the two years that I was so frightened by the words I received, I bowed my head in shame under the laughter of the sailors.
But after a few days, the sailors couldn't laugh anymore, because one of the principals saw my work performance, and noticed that I was the second son of the Celebration Master, so he decided to promote me, and then in the eyes of the sailors in astonishment , I was regarded as the sailor of a ship's organization.
In fact, in a few years, these sailors should be crying, because although my guide said that in 1417 it was an exaggeration, but he was not only exaggerating about the present situation, but also about twenty An accurate description of the current state of Bourbon after 20 years. When I recalled what the receptionist said to me after 20 years, I couldn't help breaking out a cold sweat. Indeed, after 20 years, Bourbon became the receptionist. The appearance is terrifyingly accurate.
By the way, what is the business of our Geermark Chamber of Commerce? My chamber of commerce used to do everything, but since the barbarian rebellion in Bonn, the Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership of the chairman at that time, began to turn in the direction of war. In a few years, it has changed from a so-so and profitable chamber of commerce to a lucrative industry.
And my wise president, because of this contribution, was exceptionally promoted to a senior servant by the Gehrmark family, which is considered a promotion.
In the past few years that I was on the ship, I mainly helped Bourbon transport supplies and act as a transport ship. Originally, this kind of business can only be done by the military, but a few years ago, in order to save money, King Lure VIII made this work. The business was contracted to a private chamber of commerce - but how could a real private chamber of commerce compete with our kind of chamber of commerce with a large noble background? Therefore, this business finally fell into the control of the major noble families.
When I started my own family, my father said that he would only support me for five years, but with the high income of sailors, in 1720, when I was 23 years old, I was able to support myself alone.
And also this year, the Lure VIII issued another tax increase order. Unlike before, this time the tax increase order is unprecedented in raising taxes towards us, towards us, the commoners of the old waterway! OMG! What the **** was Lure VIII thinking? I remember that the tax was just added 3 years ago, right?
After receiving the tax increase order, the Chamber of Commerce issued a notice saying that because the Chamber of Commerce was also allocated a tax, our wages would have to be temporarily reduced within a few years.
Oh, bad decision, but although the salary is reduced, it is not too much, so don't ask for trouble to protest, really, I still want to buy new clothes for my wife on his birthday this year. I promised to buy it for her when I had a baby, and it looks like this move will be pushed back.
A few months later, as soon as I returned from the voyage, I heard a message from my father, who told me that since I could live independently, his grants could be stopped early. It's a pity, the income has been reduced for a while, but because of the tax increase, my father is not feeling well, so please be considerate of him.
I can understand that, in fact, the captain of the ship I was on was also displeased with that Luer VIII. When I passed by the sailor's room a week ago, I saw several drunk sailors scolding Luer VIII, but the captain heard it. If in the past, the captain heard the commoners insulting the great nobles, he would definitely have whipped them over, but this time there were only a few light criticisms. From this incident, we can see the captain's tendency.
In the following years, the most frequent operation of my ship was to transport supplies to the Bourbon stronghold in the indoctrination area, and it was during that voyage that I first saw the Merami people, the native Mailami people! Just a few silver coins can attract several timid Merami women, feeling that they are cowardly to death.
We have occasionally transported supplies to the Tenglong Colonial Guard, where we often see fierce Ingona Bourbons who are dying. The group of Bourbons infected by the Ingonas are indeed savage to die, even if Boris is the most deadly The lowly and most stinky beggars are also more civilized than those expatriates.
We have not been to the Southern Passage, although there is still a rebellion there. It is said that because it is the sphere of influence of other chambers of commerce, the Gehrmark Chamber of Commerce cannot enter.
I have been to the Northern Passage once. It was a class of the Brothers' Chamber of Commerce. The task was to deliver supplies to Lorne. It is said that the official at Lorne's wharf is also called Luer. It doesn't feel like a good person. If he is given a chance, he will definitely make money recklessly.
And as I continued to follow the fleet, I sailed more and more seas, and I grew from a chick to an old fur seal. Soon I became the ship's captain at the age of 29 in 1426. Boatswain.
Bourbon has been plagued by disasters in recent years, at least more chaotic than when I was a child. There are wars between the north and the south. Occasionally, when I go home, I often hear my father complaining about soaring prices, and there are fewer private celebrations, although the official small-scale celebrations are More and more, but that doesn't hide the fact that the overall situation in the festival industry is still deteriorating.
After another year, at the age of 27, King Lour VIII issued the third tax increase order. Fortunately, the target of this tax increase is people in the north and south regions. I belong to the central region. I am not in the tax increase target. . But that's the only thing to be thankful for, because the tax hike inevitably affects us.
With the increase in taxes in the north and south areas, many sailors are really unemployed as the people said at the beginning, and then they are willing to join the chamber of commerce at a lower price, which forces the sailors in the headquarters to lower their own wages. , the two sides began to fall into vicious competition.
And this competition is not only about wages, many sailors who were kicked out of the chamber of commerce because they were unwilling to pay too low a price, had hatred for those unemployed sailors in the north and south, and this trend became more and more over time. As they grew stronger, they formed a group and began to bully the sailors in the north and south areas, and the unemployed sailors were not easy to bully. They also formed a group, so the two sides often fought in groups, causing chaos. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Because the law and order became more and more chaotic, I restricted the children's travel, and told them that they must stay at home honestly, and if they went out at will, they might be kidnapped and sold by those unemployed sailors.
In 1429, another terrible thing happened. I followed the fleet to transport supplies to Amada, but after the supplies arrived, even the ship and people were detained by the guards. Because a military operation organized by the defender needed some people, and he was eyeing us.
So, it was the first time that I participated in a war, mixed in the ranks, and fought with enemies who spoke one language. I was trembling for the first time. After nine deaths, I ended up with a dark disease in my hand, which was a life saver.
After counting the ships, it was found that 7 sailors were missing, and they did not know where they went. After waiting for another day, only 2 sailors came back, and the news of 2 deaths was also brought. The information of the remaining 3 remains unknown.
Because everyone was afraid that the guard would detain the boat again, so at our urging, the captain could only set sail ahead of schedule. As for the three sailors who had not returned to the boat, he could only say sorry.
After returning to the Chamber of Commerce, the principal said that this kind of thing cannot be pursued now. Geermark will not fall out with the generals who are fighting **** on the front line for a group of sailors, so the Chamber of Commerce compensated us, just let us three. month's vacation, that's all.
However, during the holidays, even though I had the position of boatswain, I could only receive a meager salary and rely on my family’s savings to make money, so I only stayed for a month. In order to be able to support my family, I returned to the Chamber of Commerce in advance.
Different from before, in the mood of returning to the caravan this time, there is no longer any longing for the sea, only the helplessness bound by life and the exhaustion of needing to support the family.
