C2177 Those Who Want to Break Free from the Cage

The old man smiled wryly, "It's been a long time since you've been out on the streets, gentlemen. Recently, there has been famine everywhere. Only the capital is still considered adequate, and the price of grain has not risen... "

"It's just that we can't bring it out if we buy it. Therefore, normally speaking, if we're not familiar with the foreign tribes, we won't be able to buy grain. "

These short words contained a lot of information.

Yang Ling nodded and said: "Thank you, old man. Because of the plague, we haven't been out for a long time. This is the first time we've heard of this. "

The old man lightly sighed as he looked at the cat-eared youth with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Yang Ling and Liu Muhan looked at each other and saw the sigh in each other's eyes.

There was another problem. In this Mu Ling Empire built by the Human Race, the foreign races were not welcomed.

Secondly, if the food was not taken out, the disaster would be alleviated and the benefits of these people would be reduced.

Not to mention the issue of the race despising the chain, they would not allow the food to be taken out. This point of view magnified the nature of capitalism.

This was already without principles, without any bottom line to pursue benefits. But this was indeed the face of capitalism. Not only on Planet Ka Lan's side, but also... How could it not be the same on Earth?

Even if capitalists had human nature, the nature of capital was inhumane.

Liu Muhan whispered to him. "Husband, let Tong'er come over. You can officially confer a title to her. The problem of the foreign race can be slightly alleviated."

"Okay."

Liu Muhan's thoughts were the same as Yang Ling's. However, before the two of them could discuss the details, the kitten youth in the field was in despair. He suddenly hugged the fat man's leg and said, "Master, master, let me buy some food and bring it out of the city!"

"My clansmen are currently in the refugee camp outside the city. If I don't give them food, they will starve to death!"

"I beg you, I beg you."

The youth begged bitterly. The fat man seemed very impatient and wanted to kick him away. He did not expect the youth to have so much strength, but he was tightly hugged.

In his anger, he shouted, "Hit him! Tell him to stay away from me!"

A few burly men beside him rushed over and punched and kicked the kitten young man. Yang Ling frowned slightly. In the next moment, Liu Muhan said in a low voice. "Hubby, I arranged a maid in the capital when I left."

Just as Liu Muhan said, a ray of light shot over from afar. In the next instant, it appeared in the middle of the field. It was a young girl wearing a pink lace maid dress.

It was the maid Lily.

"Stop."

Lotus' cold voice rang out, and the big men immediately stopped, but the cat youth was already covered in blood.

Everyone knew that within the Imperial Capital, the reason why there was still peace and order was because... The reason was because of the existence of these incomparably powerful maids.

Here, they were not called maids, but had a unified title, imperial Inspector!

The fat man hurriedly rushed forward. He said: "Sir Inspector, this lowly commoner pestered me to buy food, you know the rules of the Ministry of Revenue, I dare not disobey, so I was pestered until I had no choice but to let my subordinates take action"

"Compensate, I will compensate him!"

As he spoke, he directly took out a pile of paper money from his pocket and threw it on the ground. At a glance, it was six thousand dollars.

This 6,000 yuan was similar to the 6,000 yuan purchasing power in the Huaxia in the past. It was basically the same. In the current era of grain shortage, the price of grain had already risen to 30 yuan per jin. This beating was not in vain.

"Thank you, master!"

The young man hurriedly put away the scattered paper money on the ground. The fat man said, "Master, he took it. Is everything alright? If not, I will take my leave now."2

When Lotus saw this, she frowned slightly. His duty was to ensure the stability of the Imperial Capital. He did not care about anything else. Under normal circumstances, things would end here.

However, today, this fat man had done something else.

Lotus coldly snorted and said, "Stop right there."

The fat man stopped in his tracks, but Lotus coldly said, "Only nobles and officials can wear silk clothes. What is your position?"

Hearing this, the fat man was shocked. The royal family did indeed have such a clause. The Mu Ling Empire had a clear hierarchy of farmers and commerce, and only officials and nobles were qualified to wear silk clothes. Other people, no matter how rich a boss or a capitalist was, were not allowed to wear silk.

This rule was personally issued by Yang Ling, and it was mainly used to deal with capitalists.

He was constantly reminding them that no matter how rich you were, you were equal to ordinary people. Don't underestimate this rule. This was something that Yang Ling had come up with after racking his brains.

Originally, it was to consolidate the imperial power and lock the Power in a cage.

Regarding this point, he and Liu Muhan had an in-depth exchange. Muhan originally did not understand it but after Yang Ling explained it clearly, she finally understood.

Capital greed, which was the system of the gold capital, always pursued interests. Once one controlled power, the civilians at the bottom would forever be the target of stripping.

Although the nobles were also greedy, the system of the official position pursued political achievements, climbing upwards.

Although there would be many dirty tricks, if you wanted to achieve political achievements, you would have to show them in real life. At least, the local people would be satisfied, right?

A certain official made the people curse, and the people complain. Don't even think about going up.

Officials had to at least be nice to the people.

Only then would they be able to climb up. Only the people could live like themselves. Although they would also be exploited, the basic rights could still be guaranteed.

Under the system of officials and aristocrats, the people would be afraid of the boss who paid them, the boss would be afraid of the officials who managed them, and the officials were afraid that the people would cause trouble and affect their career. This was a subtle balance.

Each ring was a circle, and the power was always locked in a cage. Only the royal family had all the power.

After Yang Ling explained this to Liu Muhan, she understood and urged her to implement it. As smart as Liu Muhan, she could think of many things. This was the superior Physique that was far better than capital.

Unfortunately, no matter how good the system was, it still needed people to carry it out.

After the royal family left, the greatest power fell on Elin. In essence, elin was the prime minister and also a part of the interests of the civil servants.

She didn't have the absolute authority of the royal family.

That was why the political and aristocratic system created by Yang Ling began to show signs of collapse.

In the field, the fat man's face turned ugly. He bowed and said, "It was my negligence. Accept punishment. Accept punishment."

As he spoke, he took out a large stack of notes from his pocket. There were about fifty thousand of them.

"Sir, is this enough?"

According to the rules, a fine of ten thousand was enough. Fifty thousand was indeed enough.

Lotus took the stack of bills and waved her hand, saying, "Scram."

"Yes... yes, my lord."
