Chapter 113: The Final Conclusion (Please subscribe and vote)
early morning,
The cold spring wind has not yet completely dissipated, and the sky is just beginning to turn pale.
Luo Yi had already completed the first round of training in the morning and took a shower. He was wearing a thin pajamas and standing in front of the window on the second floor.
"Breaking News! Breaking News! Today's highlights: The Executive Office was besieged by the Abyss Demons. The Imperial Legion launched a powerful attack, and corpses filled the Elfate Square.
Lord Archon Dorji Petrovich fought to the last moment and died heroically! "
"Breaking news! The evil Baron Marquis was executed by the Empire, and the dawn has come for Oakland City."
"Extra! Extra! The great pirate Gis is about to arrive at the port. The Executive Office has decided to hang him at the Fisherman's Harbor execution ground in two days!"
"Breaking News! Baron Miller, the youngest governor of the Empire, succeeded Auckland City as governor and redressed the injustices of innocent civilians as soon as possible.
Moreover, he denounced the police station's random arrests and inaction, and was about to reform the user empire! "
"The city guards may be disbanded, and a professional force will be established to maintain the city's security, named the Police Department!"
Loud and tender children's voices came one after another. A group of newspaper boys aged 11 or 12 years old were selling newspapers along the street with backpacks on their waists.
The thin clothes could not withstand the cold wind in the early morning. Their little faces were frozen red and some even had long snot running down their noses.
But they still use the loudest voices to attract customers, force themselves to smile, and try their best to satisfy the customers.
As the lowest class in the city, they are either orphans or come from poor families. They cannot even get the most basic food and have to earn wages to support themselves.
They can only have food to eat if they keep busy every day.
With the 'white terror' these days, it's possible that a bunch of little ones have frozen to death in many remote corners.
This is the way the times are, there is nothing anyone can do!
Of course, their business today was quite good, and there were a lot of people coming and going on the street.
Most people are willing to spend two coppers to buy a newspaper that interests them and then sit down at a stall nearby.
Or order some bread, or a breakfast, with some hot cocoa, coffee or something like that, and have a hearty breakfast.
If you have money, there are many shops open nearby. You can order a more exquisite snack with mushroom soup, feel the prosperity of the city outside, and read the newspaper, which is also a kind of enjoyment.
second floor,
Luo Yi looked at the scene in front of him and felt it was unreal.
It only took two or three days for the entire city of Auckland to go from being lifeless to being full of vitality.
This is of course due to the fact that everyone has to support their families, but the ability of the new consul, Baron Miller Petrovich, cannot be denied.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"
There was a knock on the door, and it was Mrs. Cassidy who came in with a tray containing bread, bacon, roast meat, milk and mushroom soup, and some snacks after the meal.
Luo Yi felt hungry after watching this!
There's nothing we can do about it. Who told him to care so much about his appetite?
Of course, Oliveira also followed in with seven or eight newspapers in his hands.
"Master Luo Yi, the newspaper you requested."
"Teacher Oliveira, come, let's eat together."
The round table was moved to the window, facing the morning sun. Luo Yi ate breakfast while choosing what he wanted from seven or eight newspapers.
In this world, movable type printing has existed for a long time and printing technology is relatively mature, but the newspaper industry has not developed much.
The reason is simple. The upper class has magic communications and their own channels for disseminating information; the lower class civilians mostly cannot even read.
Moreover, they are already busy working to support their families every day, so they don’t have the time to care about news from the outside world.
It was not until the development of magical machinery that a group of literate and well-educated working class was cultivated, that newspapers were accepted by more people.
Well, this so-called 'accepted by more people' actually refers to the Habsburg Empire.
Most of the other countries in the Old World still go their own way!
Back to the point, the newspapers that Oliveira bought for Roy were almost all the ones on the market.
The main ones are seven newspapers including the Auckland Daily, the Empire State Gazette and the Northern People's Gazette.
The words are in black on white paper, and the printing is not clear, so you can barely see it.
The first thing that Luo Yi picked up was the "Imperial Political News".
This is considered the mouthpiece of the empire and the largest newspaper in the entire Habsburg Empire.
What is published here is either the empire's latest policies, current events, and comments; or the empire's developments and the many activities of the royal family; or major events such as foreign visits and trade negotiations.
It can be said that by looking through this guarantee, you can grasp the latest developments of the empire.
The last time the city of Auckland was eligible to be in this newspaper was because the Multinational Convention was signed in Auckland!
Then, this time, he saw a report about the Oakland City incident in a remote corner of the newspaper.
The name is, "The Last Madness of the Marquis Family"!
This article directly denounced Baron Marquis as a madman who colluded with the demons of the abyss for personal gain and attempted to sacrifice the entire city of Oakland in an attempt to prolong his own life.
Unfortunately, the conspiracy was discovered by Lord Dorji, who then joined forces with the Empire's Seventh Mixed Legion to kill all the demons.
Also destroyed was Baron Marquis, who had been contaminated by the magic of the abyss.
As a result, a family with hundreds of years of history was cut off from passing on its inheritance.
Luo Yi watched and watched, feeling both horrified and reasonable. He knew the truth very well, but what about now?
There is nothing worse than confusing right and wrong and calling a horse a deer.
However, being able to appear in this newspaper is already the final word.
Whatever the truth is, this is the truth that must be recorded in history books.
Just this one incident fully demonstrates the saying "history is written by the victors".
It was also from this day that the city of Auckland would no longer have direct nobles, but would be governed by the royal family and dispatched governors.
In addition, Luo Yi also saw two pieces of news that were very interesting.
On the one hand, the empire intended to lay a large number of railways, and it was obvious that in the dispute between the canal faction and the railway faction, the railway faction had the upper hand.
Secondly, the empire has reached its limit of patience with the current chaos in public security, so it is preparing to disband the city guards.
To be precise, the city guards were separated from the army system to form a government agency specializing in public security and various criminal cases.
That is, professional police officers!
Putting down the newspaper, Luo Yi realized that the food in front of him had been eaten up, so he picked up the milk and tasted it.
The sweetened milk spread between his lips and teeth. Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying it while thinking for a moment.
The next time I picked up the newspaper, it was the Auckland City Journal, which mainly reported on the many major and small events in Auckland City.
This truly local newspaper of Auckland City also, to a certain extent, speaks for the Auckland City Government.
Basically, any policies of the Executive Yuan that need to be interpreted will be published by it.
But Auckland is a very small city and it is a daily newspaper, so how could it have so many policies to publish?
Therefore, in most cases, he would have various hearsays, such as aristocratic romances, family gossips and so on.
These days, though, it's mostly covered in stories about the evil of the Marquis family and the heroic deeds of Archon Lord Dorji Petrovich.
Compared to the brevity of the Imperial Government Report, this newspaper is quite detailed.
Not only did they uncover the unknown dark stories of the Marquez family, but they even made it sound like the last generation of Baron Marquez was actually the son of an affair between his uncle and his sister-in-law.
Of course, some people like to read this part, but truly smart people will always find extremely important information in it.
For example, the white terror brewed by the City Guards and the Seventh Legion arrested so many people that the people were in panic.
As soon as Miller came to power, he immediately signed a pardon decree, releasing most of the innocent people.
Although this move had heavy traces of human manipulation, it still won the gratitude of countless people, and the company's prestige was immediately established.
Then, he immediately met with some wealthy businessmen and used various means to ensure the supply of food.
Not to mention anything else, in just these two days, the price of bread in the city has dropped by 50%, allowing countless civilians to have food to eat.
Then we inspected some factories, solved problems on the spot and ensured the production of the factories.
After a few consecutive moves, the entire city of Oakland immediately recovered from its lifeless state to its full vitality.
Although Miller is very young, his prestige is very high, even surpassing that of the former Lord Dorji.
There is no way around it. Dorji's way of doing things is full of military style. He wants to be clean and neat and cut the Gordian knot.
In this way, things may be able to be carried out, but it is too rough and will cause endless troubles.
Baron Miller, on the other hand, is not so sharp. Instead, he prefers to use various means to please both sides and induce interests, and his performance is comparable to those old foxes.
On the contrary, many things have been carried out much more smoothly.
Just when Luo Yi's thoughts were boiling in his mind, footsteps were heard. He tilted his ears slightly and frowned slightly.
After a moment, Luo Yi looked at Maruna in front of him and was a little surprised: "Why are you dressed like this?"
At this time, Maruna was wearing a windbreaker that was too big for him, and it seemed that there was a lot of stuffing inside, so that his figure seemed to have changed a little.
Most importantly, he turned up the collar of his windbreaker and wore a hat, so you could hardly see his appearance.
When he raised his head, he saw that his beard was untidy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exhausted.
Upon hearing Luo Yi's question, Maruna fell to his knees and said with a sad face: "Master Luo Yi, you must save me!"
At the window, Oliveira suddenly turned his head, looked out the window, and said, "There are a few uninvited guests. They look like detectives. Do you need me to arrest them?"
"Wait first!"
Luo Yi turned around, looked at Maruna, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Maruna looked sad and asked, "What did I do? I didn't do anything."
"It's all because of this surname!"
"There aren't many benefits to having the last name Marquis, but I hope there won't be too many bad things."
At this moment, Maruna Marquez could no longer bear it. He cursed loudly and was almost on the verge of a mental breakdown.
However, Luo Yi listened and listened, and finally understood the reason clearly.
To put it bluntly, it can be summed up in one sentence: when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected!
What I actually want to say is that there is no truth in history!
