The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 6 A Different World
In the early morning of the next day, Angela dragged her slightly tired body and placed the ironed newspaper on the table in Yuri's bedroom.

Reading newspapers every day is a good habit that Yuri has cultivated since he was a child. Although the public opinion of newspapers is firmly controlled by the nobles and the city government, it is still an important way for Yuri who lives in the noble castle to obtain information.

Sorenburg may be regarded as a politically important town in the local area, but compared to the entire New World colonial area, it is nothing at all.

Not to mention the comparison with the British Empire.

The real power of the Sauron family comes from the position of Yuri's father, the Governor-General, rather than the large fiefdom controlled by Sauron Castle.

In the colonies of the New World, the least valuable thing is the land. If it weren't for the small population, the aborigines would not have been completely cleaned up until now.

After a string of horrific encounters last night, Yuri spent hours working out on Angela in his favorite way.

So when Angela got up, she felt very tired...

After a simple and exquisite breakfast, Yuri sat in a chair on the open-air balcony, basking in the sun, enjoying the coffee Angela just made, and picked up the newspaper to read.

This is Yuri's daily leisure time.

Since Yuri has already passed his 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, the pressure of the current class has dropped sharply, and he only needs to go to class in the afternoon.

Mainly for basic physical exercise and cultural lessons.

After Yuri's father learned that Yuri hadn't even reached the standard of a trainee soldier at the age of 16, he gave up the idea of ​​rigorous training for Yuri, and turned to training Yuri to be a knowledgeable future lord.

In aristocratic education, warrior training is not necessary. It is a good thing to be a formal warrior, but it doesn't matter if you don't have the perseverance and talent. Especially for the nobles, knowledge and etiquette education are the most important.

Now Yuri has been forced to learn three languages, English as his mother tongue, Latin (Spanish) commonly used in South America in the New World, and French in the Kingdom of France, a land power in Europe.

As for the Chinese that Yuri brought with him when he crossed over, since there is no China in this world, naturally no one can speak Chinese.

Starting from the Himalayas, the Eurasian continent of this world is missing a piece. Across the ocean is Japan, which is also called the Eastern Sunrise Country by mainstream European society.

Except for the Japanese, in Yuri's geography education, there are no yellow-skinned people with black hair and black eyes...

In other words, including the Chinese nation, there are no Koreans, Mongols, Southeast Asian Huaxias, etc.!
Without the East Asian continental plate and the civilization circle, the Far East is naturally no longer a land of wealth coveted by the European powers. Japan is just an island country. Except for silver and women, there are no resources that can be seen by the European land and navy powers that have entered the industrial revolution. get on.

Because of this, the historical knowledge in Yuri's mind is completely inapplicable in this parallel world. In addition to the lack of the East Asian continental plate, there are also extraordinary mysterious forces in this world. Many details of history are different from Yuri's previous life.

For example, the current British Empire is stronger than Yuri's previous life at the same time!

Now not only has it established absolute supremacy in North America, completely defeated the Kingdom of France, but also joined the hegemony circle in the European continent, competing for land hegemony in the mainland of Europe and the Kingdom of France!

This is also one of the reasons why Great Britain adopted the local governor's self-government model for the New World colonies. The British Empire, which was mainly devoted to the European hegemony, was simply unable to establish provinces directly under the central government in North America.

However, the high level of Great Britain left an invisible bomb on the political map of the colonial area of ​​the New World in North America.

It is clear that the governor-general has military and political power, but the central government of the British Empire has given the local municipal councils the supreme legislative power, making two political centers appear in the colonial area of ​​the New World!

Moreover, the legislative power of the municipal council often suppresses the governor-general at the political level, and it is difficult for the governor-general to fully confront the municipal council in terms of administration.

It's just that the city council has mixed personnel, and many councilors are even supported by the governor general, so the administrative balance can be maintained.

In addition, the governor-general is in charge of the local regular army, and the municipal council only has the right to command and form militias. If every family in the colonial area of ​​the New World is not armed with guns, the governor-general can use military power to control the municipal council.

It's a pity that the people in the colonies of the New World, where everyone is armed with guns, are not easy to mess with. The municipal council has a very high status in the hearts of the local people. After all, many councilors are elected by the people!

Generally speaking, the municipal council represents public opinion and the bourgeoisie, while the governor-general represents the interests of the aristocracy of the British Empire.

Most of the nobles who can take root in the New World are military nobles, enough to suppress local public opinion!

However, the political interests of different colonial areas are different. The number of military nobles, the proportion of civilians with guns, etc. will affect the political territory of different colonial areas.

This allowed the municipal assemblies supported by public opinion in some colonial areas to have more initiative, while in some areas the governor-general had the final say.

For example, the colonial region of Georgia controlled by the Sauron family is a region where the governor general speaks loudly and has strong military aristocrats.

Of course, this is not something to be proud of. The reason why the nobles in Georgia have great power is simply because the industrial strength here is weak, and the main economy depends on cotton and crop cultivation. Therefore, the power of capital cannot compete with the nobles at all, and the Governor The political territory dominated by the General's family.

"Huh? The Boston Tea Party?"

Opening the newspaper, Yuri was immediately attracted by the font of the headline about increasing rents!

As the reading progressed, Yuri's frown became deeper and deeper.

"The struggle for hegemony in Europe has increased the financial pressure on the central government of Great Britain. As a result, various taxes have been continuously increased in the New World, and now the retribution has finally come.

Hehe, the "patriotic atmosphere" in places like Boston where capitalists gather is not strong. When the interests of those armed mobs are damaged, as long as they are incited, they can do anything.

This time the British government has suffered a great loss. I don't know how the mainland of Great Britain will deal with it? "

After reading the newspaper, Yuri thought gloatingly in his heart.

He doesn't have any affection for Yuri, the British Empire to which the Sauron family is loyal. This is not only from the memory of his previous life, but also from Yuri's ambition!
Originally, if he didn't have the golden finger of gaming, it would be nice to be a rich young master and wait to die for the rest of his life, but now...
