Magical Civilization and the War of the Gods

Fortunately, this flood disaster was not particularly severe.

It was also thanks to the earth magicians from the college who stabilized the river embankment in time to ensure that the subsequent flood momentum was sharply reduced, and then it was normal disaster relief work.

The Ersha Empire's industrial capabilities and magical technology are second only to Ke Lian, so the various air force deliveries and army arrivals after the disaster were very fast, and the post-disaster search and rescue, rescue, and material delivery were quite timely.

only……

……

"Tsk, as expected, we should give priority to cities and provide sufficient protection for those honorary noble factories before going to small villages and towns to save people." Imiha said dissatisfied.

Looking at the small town passing by, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

They had already passed the nearest small city, and the troop support there was extremely rapid. But what about the nearby town?

Although the distance is less than five kilometers, the town residents can still only save themselves, and there is no trace of the imperial army. Anyway, when passing through the small city, many troops were busy in the factories of the honorary nobles, for fear of delaying anything.

"Prioritize the safety and stability of places with more residents." Bai Long casually helped to explain.

"I hope so." Immiha also responded casually.

Bailong scanned the area with his mental energy and noticed that several residents were seriously injured. He also used ordinary water healing magic to help stabilize their injuries.

His actions also attracted the attention of the residents.

Since Bailong had simply disguised himself, he now had ordinary blond hair, and he did not wear any suspicious mask as advised. Instead, he randomly bought a pair of magic prop glasses with mental assistance capabilities, which looked a bit expensive. gas.

Looking at the mixed-race Imiha next to him, it was difficult for these residents to judge his identity for a while.

But those who help are helping, and naturally they will not treat them coldly.

"Thank you, Lord Magician, for your help." A man who seemed to have some status came forward and said.

"With a little effort, there are two unconscious people about 300 meters over there and about 350 meters over there. We should be able to save them now." Bailong pointed at what he had just scanned with his mental power.

"Thank you! You guys, go and look in the direction the magician said." The man also said quickly.

……

Simply continue to help, and I roughly understand some things.

The Ursa Empire was established less than 50 years ago, and its founder was also the current emperor, Suman Ursa.

The predecessor was the prince of the Avisu Kingdom and the Suman royal family. It is also a relatively special prefixed surname.

Later, they accumulated a lot of wealth with the magic train (railway transportation) invented and built on a large scale by their family, and promised to almost completely hand over transportation rights to the royal family in ten years, which temporarily stabilized the initial wealth-raising move of recruiting chambers of commerce.

Later, he used financial institutions, insurance, and exchanges to accumulate initial funds from major nobles and chambers of commerce for his own rapid development.

In the end, they used tanks, aircraft and other weapons invented and built on a large scale by their family to directly use the magic train route to move to the southern part of the Avisu Kingdom. In just two days, they penetrated the defense line of the Orchid Witch Kingdom at that time and successfully captured its king. All.

after the occupation.

Based on the food accumulated during the period of Prince Avisu, while distributing land to a large number of Lanwu people, they also gave them food.

Stabilize people's hearts and liberate part of the labor force.

And a large amount of money from the royal family and nobles of the Lanwu Kingdom was used for the infrastructure construction of the entire country, the expansion of road transportation and various factories, as well as the research and development of updated weapons and equipment.

……

"It sounds like he treats the people very well, but now..." Bailong looked around.

After all this time, the relief troops still haven’t arrived.

"It has changed a long time ago. In the end, it is just better than the previous military rule." The rescued man said with a sigh.

Military rule?

Bailong remembered that he had heard when chatting on the merchant ship that the Holy Continent used to be a country ruled by some military powers, and it was called a military-dominated country. The Fincan region of the Ersha Empire was formerly the relatively powerful Fincan military kingdom.

"In the beginning, there were no nobles in the Principality of Ersha, only the people of Peter's Holy Territory who fought with Emperor Ersha, who were the people of his territory at the time."

"Later, because our military king misjudged the war situation, the Principality of Ersha cooperated with the then Krimei Empire to destroy us. It was also at that time that Emperor Ersha, as a principality, requested the help of the then Kingdom of Avisu .”

"In fact, the Kingdom of Avisu has already been controlled by him. It's just a reason to coordinate the war."

An old man from the side came over and sat next to the wounded man.

"Many people don't understand, but I used to be a high-ranking militia officer in the Juntong State, so I know a little bit about it."

"Also after that, Emperor Ersha granted the title of 'Honorary Nobles' to the Avisu nobles who helped the Principality of Ersha on the basis of the principality. They have no fiefdoms, no real power, and they seem to have nothing."

"But in actual establishment of various chambers of commerce and distribution of various benefits, priority is given to them."

"Since then."

"Through self-defense counterattacks, active aggression, and the integration of principalities and kingdoms, the prototype of the current empire was created, and it gradually broke away from the original policy of treating the people under the honorary aristocratic system."

"It's just that we didn't realize it at that time."

The old man recalled and sighed.

……

Bailong had roughly heard of the rest.

The Principality of Ersha at that time.

Everyone will be given free land to grow the food they want to eat without paying taxes or paying anything. If you don't farm the land and let the principality farm it uniformly, you can still get a basic subsidy equivalent to three loaves of bread per day, ensuring that you can live normally.

At that time, there were free schools and very cheap potions (hospital) medical care.

With a little hard work for a year or two, they can buy a house that they themselves helped build with all the money, and may also have the luxury of adding decorations and furniture.

Later, when the kingdom's automobile production capacity increases, you will be able to own a car soon.

But now?

……

"In other words, in the current Ersha Empire, although the honorary nobles have no real power or fiefdom, they almost monopolize the wealth of various industries, and ordinary people can only work at the basic level."

"Only magicians and warriors with talent in cultivation, or people who are top-notch in certain fields, can rush forward."

"I can probably understand the current situation of the town."

Bailong looked at the people, mostly old people and children, as well as the young people who were rushing back from the small town one after another, and he understood a lot.

Ersha Empire.

In the final analysis, it is just a country that rises by using the support of the people in the process of development and growth. Later, in the wave of the new era, the old system was transformed while retaining it, thus forming a unique "imperial system".

Superstructure is still superstructure.

There is no fiefdom or real power in name, but their descendants still have a superior status by birth.

Class has long been solidified.

There is not much difference from the feudal empire era.

"My children are working in a nearby city, and the income is basically enough for the family's various expenses. Last year, my husband got seriously ill and left after all his savings were gone. He couldn't afford to hire a high priest or buy expensive magic equipment. Medicine." The old man also sighed.

"Ah? I heard the salary is quite high, right?" Imiha asked doubtfully.

As a mixed race, he can basically only do casual labor, and he really envies those stable and high-paying jobs.

"It's indeed high, if you don't count various taxes, deductions, fines, etc." The young man who rushed back from the side said numbly.

"Uh..." Immiha.

"Let's put it this way, the Ersha Empire's mandatory basic salary is two thousand copper coins, which is the standard twenty silver coins or two gold coins."

"My job is three thousand and five copper coins per month. There are various taxes and fines such as lateness fines, failure to meet standards, fines for gossiping at work, etc. I would be lucky if I could actually get one thousand and five copper coins."

"Of course, I will be even luckier if I can get it delivered on time the second month."

The young man gave a final mocking smile, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

……

"The purchasing power of Ersha Empire's gold coins is equivalent to ten gold coins for an adult cow, right?" Bailong roughly recalled what he learned.

What is the value of a cow?

You can think of the value of their salary.

"Anyway, we have no hope for those who have no hope. Now that we have the protection of the Blood God, we can live peacefully."

"Of course, that's assuming they don't want to eat us or suck our blood, haha."

The young man finally smiled again, not knowing what he was laughing at.

At this time, Bailong's mental power noticed that some military vehicles were coming, which were the belated rescue troops.

He also stood up and prepared to leave.

Immiha looked at his actions, quickly understood, and was ready to leave together.

Finally, he looked at the town after the disaster, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

"If it were Ke Lian, it would definitely not be like this."

Yimiha said firmly.

"Let's go, I will definitely go and see if I have the chance." Bai Long.

"Yeah." Immiha nodded.

The two teenagers also left this town.

The residents who had been treated by Bailong also said words of thanks and then watched them leave.

What followed was their imperial army.

……

"gone."

Watching Bai Long leave, the young man still felt a little reluctant.

In today's Ersha Empire, few of those noble magicians will come to help them.

"Gone, all gone, just like His Highness Lian Del back then." The old man sighed and recalled.

"Will His Highness Lian Del really come back one day? Will he really help us like this little magician?" the young man couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows? But besides him, who else can we hope for?" the old man said helplessly.

The young man did not speak anymore, but silently followed the instructions of the arriving imperial army and went to help deal with the post-disaster situation.
