, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!
In the next few days, Hariand never saw Richard again. He was given a visit to Vienna by the diplomatic commissioner Ornus, who was given a mission every day. They went to the Royal Academy of Vienna, the Vienna Military Academy, and also Visit the cathedral that was renamed St. Stuart and listen to the prayers of the cardinal and a group of priests for the civilians.
On this day, Hariand and others were still walking leisurely on the streets of Vienna, but because Ornus was temporarily involved, they were not accompanied. He thought that Hariand should have been familiar with the city of Vienna, so he was relieved. A few people went out, but they greeted the city defense army specially and asked them to take care of them.
The city of Vienna is as bustling as ever, with pedestrians on the streets rubbing shoulders, the shops on the streets are full of goods, and you can hear the voices of customers and bosses bargaining before they get close. From time to time, naughty children shuttle among the dense crowds, like a loach, followed by parents anxiously calling their children’s names, for fear that the children will get lost.
Pedestrians on the streets of Vienna rarely see those dirty beggars or poor people. Thanks to Richard’s capital development policy, almost 96% of the people in Vienna have made money, and the remaining 100 Four out of four people are either lazy and don’t want to fight, or they are unable to escape poverty due to various factors. For these people, Richard has introduced a welfare policy, as long as the citizens of Vienna can receive a monthly minimum living allowance. This kind of living allowance can only guarantee that they will not be starved to death, and it is very embarrassing to receive it, so most people dismiss it.
“Vienna is really prosperous. Compared with Rome, it may not be the same.”
The adjutant next to Hariand said with emotion that the clothes and fabrics of the pedestrians passing by them are quite good, and their faces are ruddy. At first glance, they are often full of food. Compared with the people in the slums in Rome, This is simply heaven.
Although it has been developed for more than three hundred years, the city of Rome still has not gotten rid of the common problem of the huge gap between rich and poor. It is a prosperous and prosperous city of Rome where the rich and powerful are gathered in the noble district. The noble district is magnificent, even if you just throw a brick. Can hit a businessman or the son of a different family from a wealthy and enemy country; there are also civilian areas inhabited by ordinary citizens and slums inhabited by the poor. The environment of slums and aristocratic areas can be described as one world. The environment of the noble area is beautiful, and every household Both are manor houses with a large area. The slums are extremely crowded. One building is next to each other. Two buildings facing each other can even reach out from their windows and hold hands to communicate. The streets are also flowing. Sewage, the air is filled with a stench.
In the city of Vienna, they have not seen the slums for several days, and they rarely see the poor in the true sense. Although sometimes they accidentally hear people talking on the street claiming that they don’t have a silver coin on their bodies, but they just take a look. , It can be seen that he must be pretending, because the clothes on his body are made of fine fabrics, and his face is greasy. At first glance, he is a class that has no worries about food and clothes.
“Like here?”
Hariand glanced at him and smiled faintly.
“No, I just sighed.” The adjutant shook his head. “My wife and children are still waiting for me in Rome. Even if I like it here, I can’t stay.”
“Heh.” Hariand chuckled, looking at the towering Gabriel Tower that was eye-catching in the distance, and said: “When we return to Rome to report on work, we can take our family to immigrate here, maybe we It will be the first group of Romans to emigrate here, and many Romans will follow in our footsteps and come here.”
“what do you mean……”
“After returning to Rome, I will leave my job and move here with my family.” Hariand said with a smile, “The history and customs of this continent are very attractive to me. I want to live here and write a record. The works of Kuyawei continent.”
“Are you going to retire?” a soldier asked.
“Yes.” Hariand nodded and did not deny. He knew that if he did not voluntarily retire from the army, he would be able to enter the Senate as a former senior consul in the province of Zambal and become a man after returning to Rome. Dear veteran.
Although the power of the Senate has been diminishing in these three hundred years, its influence is still there. As long as you wear the identity of a Senate member, you can win the respect of others and gain a lot of political capital for yourself. But now, under the rule of Emperor Derekssen, he is close to the Senate, giving the Senate some power, making the Senate become the emperor’s right-hand man, and is no longer the existence of a similar mascot.
The soldiers didn’t know why Harand had given up on this extremely bright future. They wanted to persuade, but they didn’t know what position to take, so they closed their mouths.
At this moment, they happened to pass by a few people who were talking, and overheard what they were talking about.
“I heard that the war on the Ossa Peninsula was over, and the ship to the port of Lyktos was only allowed to pass shortly before.”
“It’s over? Didn’t it mean that the Osa people were very fierce. They broke through several towns and killed a lot of people.”
“Oh, no more fierce than our legion?” Someone on the side said with a sneer.
“…”
The others were silent for a while. After a while, someone glared at him and said, “But what he said also makes sense. After the Fourth Army took action, the Osa’s rebels were completely destroyed within a month. Suppressed, tusk tusk, that death look is very miserable.”
“Such a miserable method?” the others asked curiously.
“I heard from my relatives who served in the Fourth Army~www.mtlnovel.com~The captured Osa people were all crucified, inserted on both sides of the road to show the public, and sunk to death.”
“Tsk, it might take a long time to die,” said the person who destroyed the atmosphere just now.
“No, it usually takes three to five days before they die. They groan at first, but they don’t even have the strength to make a sound later.”
“Tsk tut…”
After listening to the content of their conversations calmly, Hariand and his colleagues walked away. After walking away, the adjutant couldn’t help saying: “General, it seems that the Holy Roman Empire is not peaceful, and there are still wars in the territory. .”
“Normally, those Wende people in the empire also rioted from time to time, and they won’t be able to remember the lesson without being killed by the legion.” Hariand said coldly. It was obvious that he had a good deal of restless Wende people. No good feelings.
It’s no wonder that those Wende people who think they are the owners of most of the empire’s territory have always wanted independence and rebuild the Wende empire, but they were repeatedly relentlessly suppressed by the Roman legions. A Roman nobleman didn’t like those arrogant Wende people.
