Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 443

[Chapter 442 Fierce (3200 plus)]

In this world, power is unbalanced.

In a world with supernatural powers, ordinary people are unable to resist the powerful.

Even Aaron can easily think of a hundred ways to stop demonstrations and riots – such as arranging large-scale ceremonies in slums to continuously strengthen the residents’ sense of order and obedience, so that they will not dare to violate imperial laws even if they starve to death at home. !

From an occult point of view, this is entirely possible.

But the demonstration happened, and although the suppression was effective, every time it happened, it would irritate the rest of the people and leave wounds in their hearts.

Even if the wound heals, scars will remain, gradually corroding the foundation of the empire’s rule.

“I…I don’t know, isn’t this normal? If you can’t survive, you have to change your way of living…”

Louis rubbed his head, completely confused as to what Aaron was talking about.

“Also…as a friend, I’ll treat you to a drink. That’s it anyway.”

Aaron made his own suggestion.

“Well… my boss’s shop is on this street, and it will definitely not be open today.”

When Louis heard about drinking, his eyes began to shine: “I know a beer hall, and I guarantee you will eat the bacon sausage there. Just unforgettable…”

…

Rye Beer Hall.

Only the cheapest rye beer is served here. The customers who come here seem to be from the lower class of society, but the business is good.

Because it was daytime, Aaron and Louis occupied a round table against the wall, ordered bacon sausage and other specialties, and drank beer slowly.

“We can’t go on like this… The failure of the “Affirmative Action” proposal last month means that the big capitalists who have been transformed from the big aristocrats have completely abandoned us… They are even more hateful than the original landed aristocrats, and the landed aristocrats will The serfs regard them as their own property, and they still have the last trace of warmth, but their factories only know how to greedily devour the flesh and blood of the workers, and drive them away whenever they are sick, without paying a penny.”

A young man stood at the bar of the beer hall !

The man jumped on the bar and was shouting: “Unite together, force the factory owners to bow their heads, and let the parliament pass the bill… If it doesn’t pass, we will strike and march… In the past, the failure was just that the intensity was not strong enough. We want our own power and expand the third level of parliament.” “We also need to have our own right to vote!”

“Who are those people?”

Aaron blew the hops from the huge beer glass and pointed at the young man who was giving a speech.

“A group of middle-class and even lower-class people who call themselves social activists… They have gone to school and have knowledge, but they live in slums. They know very well what the lower-class people want. Many people are persuaded by them, but the result is often not the same. Great.”

Louis took a sip of beer and explained with a sigh: “Oh… there is another organization among them, called the ‘Hatsless’ Alliance…”

“Is it the Poor People’s Alliance?” Aaron said with an expression. Dignity, this kind of alliance is very scary, because you can’t even wear a hat, so you have nothing to lose.

“Yes, most of them are poor people, as well as lawyers and doctors who sympathize with the poor… and have also received some social donations and funding.” Louis continued to drink and sigh…

Aaron saw a man who was forced by life to be overwhelmed. Men can only seek a moment of comfort in alcohol.

Not long after, Louis passed out drunk on the table.

‘You can get drunk even if you drink beer. Who gave you the courage to come to the pub? Or…you just want to get drunk and escape reality? ‘

Aaron glanced at him with disdain and looked at the man giving the speech.

‘Is it blind to be a member of the Imperial Suppression Bureau if you can get social donations? And today’s parade…’

‘Obviously, there is a powerful force that is secretly supporting this group of people. ‘

‘If there is no power that comes out of thin air, is it the Church of the Sun? ‘

There is nothing new under the sun, and there is only one force in the entire continent that can make the empire helpless!

“The conflict between royal power and divine power… Yes, power is a beast, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Since there are no opponents in the world, we can only fight within ourselves…”

Aaron was keenly aware of the conflicts among the upper echelons of the empire. subtle state.

And…social conflicts as intense as a powder keg.

“What the hell… wouldn’t such a big empire distribute the benefits of colonization and plunder to the poor?”

But Aaron thought about some countries that were called empires in his previous life, and suddenly understood: “It really wouldn’t… Whether they are big capitalists or big aristocrats, they would rather pour milk into the sea, exchange money into gold and lock it in a vault than share anything with mud-legged people. They will only sit back and watch the poor people die of hunger and illness due to unemployment. The most they can do is Doing charity and shedding a few crocodile tears… How can it be possible to eat the meat from their bowls without shedding some blood and fighting a fierce battle? “

“In addition, there is the church fanning the flames. Adding fuel to the flames…the contradictions in this world are becoming more intense and strange.”

Aaron listened to the guy’s impassioned speech while solving his own dining problem, and roughly figured out the current upper-level structure of Inves.

Unlike its own history, in Inves, the three-level parliament holds all power.

Among them, the representatives of the first-level parliament are His Majesty the Emperor and the priests and monks of the Church of the Sun!

There is no way, who allowed the one worshiped by the Church of the Sun to win a great victory in this history…

And the members of the second-level parliament are mainly hereditary nobles.

Only the third-level parliament included factory owners, big businessmen, bankers, and theoretically all citizens of the empire.

Of course, since those poor people have to go to work every day to ensure that they do not starve to death and have no time to participate in any parliamentary activities, the third-level parliament is mainly dominated by capitalists.

However, it should be noted that some landed aristocrats were attracted by capital and gradually transformed into big capitalists. They are called the ‘liberals’ among the aristocrats.

In addition, some nobles who are in debt due to poor land income or extravagant life are often bribed by capital… Therefore, those capitalists also have considerable influence in the second-level parliament.

‘If this continues…sooner or later this empire will be controlled by capital, but in Inves where the true god exists, that’s it…among the three-level parliaments, the first-level parliament has the greatest power! ‘

‘Sure enough, it is still a struggle between divine power and royal power! ‘

‘In addition, capital is attached to the empire and exploits workers more cruelly. Even due to the empire’s high-pressure policy, some newspapers that advocate freedom and equality have been banned one after another… The contradictions have already intensified to a terrible point, but it is useless. With absolute power, civilians who dare to resist will be suppressed immediately! ‘

‘Without the final scruples, the madness and greed of capital are fully demonstrated! ‘
