Chapter 157
Chapter 156
“Hey, it’s so cold, how come it’s so cold…”
In Wissas, an ordinary civilian man came out of the room wrapped in thick clothes.
The firewood burning in the fireplace last night has been extinguished, and the temperature in the house has gradually dropped.
The family was frozen and awake before the morning arrived. The man had no choice but to come out and hold some firewood to light it…
A flash of light appeared, and the room lit up again.
He listened to the squeaky wind whimpering and clacking against the window. Forgetting the time, it should be almost early in the morning.
However, it was still dark outside the window.
This is not surprising, after all, in winter, the period of darkness is always longer.
The man blew the small flame that was not easy to ignite, trying to make the flame burn in the fireplace more vigorously.
At this time, his wife got out of the bed in her coat.
She picked up the iron kettle used to boil water on the table, shook it, there was no sound, and opened it to see that the little water left last night actually froze.
“…Hey, why is it cold like this? It hasn’t been frozen to ice before.” The woman frowned and said, then wrapped her coat tightly and poured some water into the pot.
“Do you think this year’s winter seems to be particularly cold? After the winter last year, wearing a jacket in the house will make you warm, but this year is still cold…”
The woman was babbling and talking, and then the iron kettle used to boil water was hung beside the fireplace.
So after dawn, the water in the pot will also be hot.
The man nodded: “Yes, I feel a lot colder.”
“Furthermore, the surface of the Volli River has been frozen this year. There is a thick layer on which boats cannot drive…”
As he was talking, the woman suddenly raised her head and shouted in surprise: “It’s snowing outside… a lot of snow…”
I don’t know when there was a heavy snow like feathers floating outside the dark window.
——It’s like a silent painting suddenly with dynamics, the collision of black and white is very clear and conspicuous.
And there was heavy snowfall, as if all the snowflakes were poured out all of a sudden…………
When Xia Zoe woke up from the castle, the heavy snow was still falling.
In his room, apart from the youth group standing on the shelf and combing the feathers, there are also the egg yolks and brown sugar that got in to sleep last night.
At this time, Xia Zuoyi stood by the window and beckoned to Brown Sugar: “Come here, come here.”
Brown Sugar stood up from the cushion, first yawned, stretched, and then slowly moved to Chazoi’s side with his tail tossed.
Xia Zuoy hugged the brown sugar.
He hid behind the fluffy and stretched out his hand to open the window. In a moment, cold air poured in…
The temperature in the house seemed to drop a lot in an instant.
Brown Sugar shook his ears, turned his head and rubbed Xia Zoe calmly with his head, as if to say-“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you from the wind.”
Xia Zoe bent his eyebrows and kissed Brown Sugar.
He looked at the big snowflakes falling continuously outside the window, in patches, as if he was about to dye the entire castle and even the entire Parr mountain into a snow-white color.
The ground, the lake, the treetops… the mountains in the distance, as if putting on new clothes at this moment, began to take on a different appearance from the past.
Xia Zuoyi gently placed his chin on top of Brown Sugar’s head and exhaled silently: “It’s started…”
He then closed the window and walked out of the room, pulling his slippers.
In a short while, he came to the outside of the room under the pope’s crown and reached out and knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and the figure of Saigalote appeared.
“Mian, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Come in and talk.”
…………
St. Airo Empire.
There is also heavy snow like a feather here, and there is already a thick layer on the street.
Because of the cold weather, few people are still walking around in the city, and some places are even broken in such weather.
Traveling is difficult, and business is not easy to do. Many people are now worrying about their lives, food and clothing.
This situation is too often forgiven in the Saint Airo Empire.
After all, since the end of the Black Death epidemic, the empire has experienced a lot of turmoil-turmoil in various places, royal power changes, and the succession of the prince Warner…
The difficult lives of the imperial people have not been effectively improved.
Of course, this is only referring to civilians and slaves.
The life of the nobles has long since recovered, as before.
The people at the top have not changed, and the people at the bottom will only suffer more.
“The heavy snow keeps coming down like this… Many people seem to be dying this winter.” An old man hurried home on the street sighed.
He looked at his father’s ankles and ankles. He was covered with worn-out blankets or papers he didn’t know where he picked up from, and he wanted to use this thing and the eaves above his head to escape the heavy snow.
However, those figures remained motionless in the heavy snow… I don’t know if they were frozen, or… died.
The old man sighed again, then walked away quickly.
His family is not wealthy either. Even if he feels unbearable to see such a scene, there is no way to help…
——This winter, he still has to think hard about how he wants to get past it.
“Oh, bless the creation god, please let this heavy snow stop quickly.”
The sigh gradually dissipated in the hustle and bustle of heavy snow.
However, the God of Creation was probably taking a nap, and did not listen to the lame prayer…
The heavy snow fell all day, and it didn’t stop gradually until midnight. The entire empire seemed to be cold and silent, and the cold air filled everywhere.
A lot of coal and firewood were urgently added to the fireplace in the palace.
Warner couldn’t sleep, put on his clothes and a coat and walked out of the room.
The room and the corridor are two temperatures, and it is cold in the corridor…
With a lighted kerosene lamp in his hand, he withdrew his servants and servants, and came to the study alone.
Before that, he had sent a servant to call the second prince Ken over.
When Ken walked into the study, Warner was sitting behind the desk with his brows frowned, flipping through a document in his hand.
“Big Brother.”
Ken swallowed the urge to yawn, walked to the opposite side of Warner and sat down, “Is there anything you want to do with me?”
Warner said sorry to him first, and bothered him so late.
“But I can’t find anyone else to discuss right now, Ken, you trust me the most.” Warner sighed.
“I understand, brother.”
Ken observed Warner’s face and asked, “Are you worried about this heavy snowfall in the empire?”
“…A lot of people will die.”
Ken hesitated: “But before…the Empire also died in the winter. They were poor civilians or slaves…”
“They will freeze to death, starve to death in every corner of the empire…”
“This is normal, brother.”
He didn’t understand what happened in the winter, why the eldest brother was so worried tonight.
Warner said: “You also said it was once.”
“Ken, the empire today can no longer withstand the toss. Since the Black Death, the empire has not been calm, and turmoil is happening in almost every place.”
The class of the nobility has not changed, but the civilians and slaves have been exploited and oppressed.
——The existence of classes used to be like a solid triangle. The bottom layer is the foundation, and the higher the level, the greater the power.
But now the empire is beginning to be turbulent from the bottom.
When the bottom cushion is gradually reduced and withdrawn… the result will only cause the collapse of the existence of the upper class.
The Empire of Saint Airo and Desinian territory are completely governed by two modes.
Xia Zoe abolished the system of enfeoffment of territories at the beginning of the establishment of Desinian territory.
He became the sole lord and enjoyed the rights of a king.
Although there will be other nobles, mayors, officials, etc. in the territory, they no longer enjoy the supreme power of rule in their respective cities as before.
Because all the territories in Desinian territory belong to Shazoi.
This also resulted in him being able to conveniently and arbitrarily make correct adjustments to various affairs.
Rather than being like Warner, even though he has become a king, he still feels bound to his feet.
What’s more, because of the early establishment of the reward mechanism, the number of slaves in the Desinian Territory has been greatly reduced.
Even if there are still slaves.
But the slaves living in Desinian territory were much better than other places.
In some ways, Warner cares about Xia Zoe De Signia.
After the battle of Quincesi.
He has definitely realized that the Desinian lord, and even the entire Desinian territory will eventually become an existence that can threaten the empire.
Warner put the king’s power in his hands ahead of time, and it has to be said for this reason.
“Big Brother…”
Ken Wanna leaned back on the chair, his ice blue eyes were so deep under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking?”
“Those nobles with fiefs…”
Warner paused and said: “If I want the empire to continue to expand its territory, first of all, I must firmly control the nobles in my hands…”
“They can’t be a hindrance to me.”
“Ken, sometimes too much power is a very conniving thing, it’s time to take it back.”
…………
On the second day when the heavy snow stopped.
The extremely handsome Hai Dongqing flew down to the holy church in the Imperial City, and when he first looked at Shanna Pabai, he ran to find the two master Cardinals.
Demps carefully removed the wooden tube tied to the claws of the Youth League, opened it, and looked at the curled parchment inside.
After reading the contents of the parchment clearly, Demps’s expression changed.
There was a look of surprise and stunned expression on his face. At the same time, it was mixed with strange and incomprehensible emotions…
In short, the expression was so complicated that Maltitz, who was waiting to see the parchment next to him, gave him a direct look, and then snatched the letter paper.
After Malditz had read the above, the expression on his face became almost the same as Demps.
He yelled in disbelief: “Under the crown, what does this mean?!”
Demps returned to his senses: “What do you think it means?”
“Isn’t it already written very clearly above? I plan to build a second holy church in Desinian territory…”
“Hey, I see, Mianxia doesn’t plan to come back in the future.”
Malditz continued: “But how could…”
“Why won’t Mianxia come back? The Saint Airo Empire is where Mianxia grew up.”
“The main church of the Holy See has existed in the empire for hundreds of years. Why did you suddenly want to build a second…”
“No, it’s not compliant!”
Demps knows the rigidity and rigidity of Maletez. He must not understand and accept this decision under the crown of the Pope, and he will continue to oppose it.
but……
“You don’t think it will work, is it useful for Mianxia?” Demps asked with a soul.
Maleditz: “…”
How could it be useful.
Knowing that nothing he said would make the pope change this decision, Maltitz’s face couldn’t help becoming even more ugly.
He said: “But do you think the establishment of the second holy church is acceptable…not to mention, it is still in the Desinian territory.”
“If this decision is known by the imperial royal family and the king, it may cause another wave of waves.”
Demps: “It’s not up to you and me.”
Maleditz finally sighed helplessly: “What the **** did you think…Is it really not going to come back?!”
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Let me discuss something with you.
Pope: Exactly, I also have something to say.
Xia Xia: Huh?
Pope: Can I apply for permanent residence in the castle?
Xia Xia: Maomao shocked. jpg, tactically leaned back. jpg.
