Chapter 692: In the Imperial City, a countryman like me really knows little.
After Lu Xingshi disposed of the experimental products in his hands, he prepared to go to the Imperial City to capture the mother body of the source of corruption and find the original body of the strange demon.
As for federal matters, Lu Xingshi appointed several congressmen to become acting presidents. In fact, it has no impact on the federation whether he appoints one or not.
But Lu Xingshi has designated a few, and then the federation will definitely not be able to live in peace.
This was Lu Xingshi's intention, mainly because after fighting, the efficiency of collecting money would be greatly improved.
Lu Xingshi benefited a lot from Zheng Xiang's practice of using chicken feathers as arrows. If he hadn't killed a group of congressmen, he wouldn't have known they were so rich.
Although it is said to be 91 points, Lu Xingshi can be sure that Zheng Xiang must have been ignorant and could not reach 91 points. It is conservatively estimated at 73 points. It is just that Lu Xingshi turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. It is indeed a small number. It has achieved some benefits, but it has encouraged unhealthy tendencies.
If the federation continues to develop like this, it is very likely that the second generation will die, and it will be easier for the Yan army to move in later.
It doesn't matter if the top people are corrupt. What he values is the bottom level. After all, no matter how many people there are in the top level of the federation, there are not as many people as there are in the bottom level.
The harder they squeeze, the faster the Yan army will take over after they arrive.
However, the high-level leaders of the Federation are fighting among themselves, but they are also sensible and are still advancing steadily against the Dazhen Dynasty.
Lu Xingshi couldn't estimate how long it would take for the Dali Dynasty to be destroyed, but he couldn't think about it for the time being, because he had already arrived at the imperial city.
I have to say that compared to the Imperial City, other cities are almost like country bumpkins.
After entering, Lu Xingshi even saw something similar to modernization, but there were not many and it looked a bit mottled. It seemed to be a legacy from a long time ago, now abandoned but preserved to this day, with the feeling of keeping it but not using it.
As soon as he entered the imperial city, Lu Xingshi discovered that it was different from other cities. The most critical thing was circulation.
Most cities are closed, with few outsiders coming in and out, but the Imperial City is different. There are many free professionals here, and the barriers between classes have faded away.
Lu Xingshi pretended to be a descendant of a down-and-out aristocratic family, so he entered the city very easily and was not questioned much.
This is already the highest status that can be chosen. The status of royal family members who are higher up can still be swindled in other cities, but in the Imperial City, people have genealogies, and most of the royal family members who leave the Imperial City are arranged to go there. A certain city acts as the highest official.
Without the empress's will, it would be impossible to return to the imperial city.
So if you really pretend like this, you will only have loopholes all over your body.
On the contrary, it was the children of aristocratic and wealthy families, many of whom had lost their families and came to the imperial city to make a living.
As for civilians, forget it.
"The capital is the capital, there are not even slums." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but sigh.
"That's because Her Majesty the Empress is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see poor people." A professional on the side heard Lu Xingshi's emotion and couldn't help but agree. Especially when he said the word "kind-hearted", this professional showed a proud look. Come.
Lu Xingshi knew at a glance that this determined person was from the imperial city.
Otherwise, I can have this mentality.
"She really has a good heart."
"I wonder how it was done?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
How could this be possible without poor people? It is not a Datong society.
"Of course I'll kill him. How else could he do it?" The professional looked at Lu Xingshi with contempt, as if he was saying that the country people just didn't know how to do it.
Lu Xingshi was quite upset when he heard these words. This is how you deal with the poor. He thought it was to help the poor with money, but he didn't expect that it was physical elimination.
Needless to say, this effect is really useful.
"Then there must be the poorest. For example, if Zhang San was killed because he was a poor man, then Li Si would become the poorest. Should he also be killed? After Li Si dies, there will be Wang Wu..." Lu Xingshiju An example.
"How do I know this? I wasn't the one who killed him." When the professional heard this, he realized that what Lu Xingshi said did make sense, but he was not responsible for dealing with the poor, so he didn't know how to do these things.
Then he ignored Lu Xingshi and left.
It is not uncommon for outsiders to come to the Imperial City to beg for food.
As a foreigner, after arriving in the imperial city, your status will automatically be lowered by one level. A noble family will be demoted to a wealthy family, and a wealthy family will be demoted to a commoner.
Therefore, most of the aboriginal people in the imperial city despise outsiders, and even a commoner can discriminate against the children of outside aristocratic families.
"Then go to the palace next?" Lu Xingshi did not continue to worry about the poor.
If the total area of the imperial city is ten, then the entire palace occupies seven.
The empress alone occupies 70% of the area, and the remaining 30% is where aristocratic families, wealthy families, and common people live in the imperial city.
But even so, there are millions of people in the imperial city, and 99% of them serve the empress alone.
But even with such a high ratio, even a tiny bit of dregs flowing out of the palace would be enough to feed the top families in the imperial city.
From this we can also see how luxurious the empress lived.
Daily consumption, if accurate figures are formed, is definitely an astronomical figure. However, this is just an insignificant day for the empress.
Lu Xingshi didn't want to criticize the other party, but he wanted to kill the empress. Then wouldn't everything become his own?
Yes, he was thinking about robbing rather than blaming the other party. After all, what benefits can come from blaming the other party? The real benefit is to grab it.
No wonder the royal clan has to form a new class independently. With the existence of the empress, no matter how bad their lives are, they are not something that aristocratic families can touch.
The palace is very big, so Lu Xingshi doesn't have to worry about finding it.
After all, as long as you enter the Imperial City and keep walking along the main street, the end point must be the Imperial City.
It can be said that all roads lead to Rome.
Lu Xingshi thought about whether he should fight all the way or choose to lurk in.
A sharp sound interrupted his thoughts.
I saw a group of knights driving BMWs speeding through the streets with people coming and going. Many people were used to this and very familiar with it and got out of the way.
"Is this... coming out of the palace?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
"Of course, the leader is my Lord Gu Liangmei, the number one god of war in Dayun! It is said that back then..." A business owner on the side talked eloquently.
But listening to the other party's words, Lu Xingshi had some doubts about life. This No. 1 God of War didn't sound right.
He remembered that there had never been a war before the Federation, so how did he get the title of the First God of War?
"He has been the number one person in the royal competition for several consecutive years..." Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched. He had heard a little bit about the royal competition method.
The competition is very simple, just show your level. Whoever has the highest level present will be the first, and there is no need to fight.
Then the business owner gave examples of hunting such as hunting rabbits and catching foxes, in addition to this title.
It gave Lu Xingshi a strange illusion that such a noble person actually wanted to go to the toilet in person.
"Lord Gu Liangmei must have personally led the troops to quell the rebellion."
"How come these damn rebels can't just commit suicide? Now they let the First God of War of Dayun personally lead the troops to crusade. They don't know any respect." The merchant snorted coldly, with an extremely dissatisfied tone.
Lu Xingshi glanced at the merchant. He was just a commoner, not a wealthy or aristocratic family.
The objects of the sale are probably only commoners or outside professionals. Otherwise, with his status, he would not be able to meet wealthy and aristocratic families, and they are not doing fair transactions with him. It would be your honor to take your life. Then It doesn't matter if you don't pay for something.
"Why don't you speak?" The merchant found that Lu Xingshi didn't agree with him, which made him a little strange.
"I think the No. 1 God of War in Dayun may not be leading troops to suppress the rebellion." Lu Xingshi said.
There is no such thing as self-knowledge in the royal family, but Lu Xingshi can be sure of one thing, that is, it is best for such a 'powerful' person to stay in the imperial city to protect the palace.
"Perhaps there is some big shot coming from around the imperial city, and it is necessary for the First God of War to meet him in person." Lu Xingshi was not stupid, how could he not see that the other party was not dressed for a long trip.
If they really want to lead troops to fight against rebellion, given the character of the royal family members, they will definitely not be able to ride horses, and will only get on their luxurious chariots and set off.
"Big shot? Tsk." The merchant couldn't help but sneered: "What person can be bigger than the royal family?"
He was extremely disdainful of Lu Xingshi's words.
In fact, there is not much problem with his cognition, but in Lu Xingshi's view, there is actually another class among the royal family members, and that is the strange demons.
The wealthy and aristocratic families knew a little bit about this, but the common people knew nothing about it.
They know that there are foreign demons and strange demons, but they have never come into contact with them. After all, these are all monopolized. How can they know these under the layers of barriers.
"You're right, I don't know enough." Lu Xingshi did not argue with the merchant, but was thinking about why the merchant wanted to meet a strange demon.
It stands to reason that the empress can invite the alien demon clone that is suspected to be the source of the alien demon, so why bother looking far away?
The price paid for letting a strange demon come out of the foreign demon world is not small at all.
‘Unless the source of strange demons refuses to help the empress! ’ Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t feel there was any problem with this.
The reason is very simple. I am indeed too cunning, and the other party can recognize my identity. At this stage, I must accumulate the maximum strength to deal with myself, rather than choose to continue to fight head-on.
Killing with one hit is the opponent's goal.
So the Empress really had no other choice, so she changed the candidate. After all, the Dazhen Dynasty was the Empress's kingdom, not the source of strange demons.
Thinking about it this way, it would be much more reasonable for the other party to invite another strange demon.
The strange demon that can be favored by the empress is probably not a simple thing, and may have strength that is not inferior to the clone of the strange demon's source.
