Time flies, and it has been nearly five years since Loran Hill came to the empire.

"Is Lord Jialan here?"

In the quiet room, the hardwood door with a look was knocked, and the sound of inquiring came.

"Please come in." A light answer rang in the room.

"Thanks."

The afternoon sun is still a bit fierce, the world outside the window is particularly dazzling, and the office room is much shade and quiet.

Lorran Hill sat on the seat in a comfortable white dress, and her light blue hair fell on her back and in front of her, reflecting her fair neck.

Now that the "Fairy Wood" organization has been relatively complete, she doesn't have much to deal with, so she is a little curious about who is coming to find her.

"Hello, Lord Jialan, I am Socifer from Chuyi Province." The man wore a capable white shirt on the upper body and military trousers on the lower body.

"Maybe I don't know me, because I'm not a member of the Fairy Wood."

"However, I have cooperated with the organization very early and have provided urgently needed materials through many methods before, so I have been trusted."

"Then where are you here today?" Lorran Hill gently supported his head with one hand, and his fair and slender wrists showed off from his cuffs.

In the "Fairy Wood", she is mainly responsible for education, construction of the law, publicity and guidance. Regarding commerce and taxation, Lubin and others are responsible for it, so she is a little unfamiliar with this person.

"Actually, I want to ask about some questions."

He bent down and saluted before speaking.

"There are many changes in the empire now, especially as the new emperor began to emulate the reform of the southern border, this trend has gradually spread to the empire's borders."

"I can say that people who are growing and expanding their organization and making more profits, and now there are many industries in the local area."

He began to introduce his industry in detail, built large steel mills locally, and had the mining rights of several mines.

"It can be said that I do have greater influence than ordinary people, but I also want to ask you a question, that is, can I get more protection?" He looked at the girl with a similar appearance to his daughter and asked sincerely.

In fact, Socifa came today, not only his personal idea, but also many similar owners of the Chamber of Commerce. The factory owners wanted to use this to explore the arrangements of the "Fairy Wood" organization for them.

Later, I found Socifa, who was closely related to the organization but was not part of the "Fairy Wood" organization.

"Is that true?"

Lorran Hill thought, she gently shaking the bell, let Iyana, who was resting next door, come over and put a chair for Mr. Socifer.

Soon after, the maid asked someone to bring a wooden chair and add tea.

“What kind of protection do you want to get?”

Lorran Hill looked at the man and continued to ask. She guessed that this person had heard about what happened in the Imperial Parliament recently, so he asked this question.

"Uh... how can I describe this? I am not eager to gain superhuman power. I know this is not recognized by the organization."

"But I also hope I won't be framed or controlled so easily."

"Sir, you also know that when a person has huge wealth, people will inevitably become jealous, so they will use unconventional means, such as frame-up, or false accusation."

"This is not a big cost for them, and once they succeed, they can get huge benefits, so someone will take the risk."

“What about specific?”

"For example, in the laws prescribed by the organization, factories must not abuse employees or hide safety hazards."

"I did do it as required above, but what should I do if someone deliberately forged it or pretended to be a worker and entered my factory and falsely accused me of making bad things."

"Things like this are often difficult to tell. If they come often, I might have been arrested by the Law Correction Team."

"This is the first point, they can try to make profits with me at a small price."

"The second point is that some small officials can use their power to blackmail me how to deal with it."

"Most of the people in the organization are good people, and I agree with this, but occasionally one or two people with bad character will appear. They may have low monthly income, so they use their positions to deliberately block me and make things difficult for me. How should I deal with it?"

"If you object to them, does it mean opposing the organization, and if they detain me on the grounds of law enforcement, what should I do then?"

"You might say that you can appeal through the law or something, but when I was imprisoned, I lost my freedom and security, which was a very terrifying thing."

Although his expression was a bit obscure, Lolan Hill vaguely guessed his true intention, which was to hope to obtain certain power protection.

It’s not that this person is very bad or something. He just hopes that his wealth can be safe and for a long time and will continue to maintain it.

In fact, these problems have appeared in previous lives, and the methods adopted by countries are different. Some people use agents to isolate themselves from layers of people to protect themselves and stay away from ways that may threaten themselves. Some people will directly gain a certain amount of power and enter the upper class of society.

"I probably understand what you mean." The girl looked at the man and nodded, but she didn't want to answer directly.

"We will establish relevant laws in the future to punish those who have false accusations, and will also review internal personnel and constantly correct mistakes."

After saying that, Lorran Hill slowly started to drink tea until the man couldn't stand it.

"Then, do you have other, uh, more different measures?"

"Sorry, no. The belief in our organization is that everyone is equal. Wealth can give you more opportunities for choice, but it does not mean that you can be above others."

"But, but what if someone is jealous and just a small thing makes me want to plunder my wealth?" His words finally became a little unstable.

"If it is a legal judgment, such behavior will be cross-examined by the upper level of the organization. After all, you have a lot of industries, so be cautious."

"If it is not a legal judgment, and a bad person bullies you, you can report to the organization and we will conduct a corresponding investigation."

Gu Yi

"But...but..." He hesitated for a long time, and finally held back the topic, then slowly shut up and had to get up to say goodbye.

But what if those people are no longer fair, the girl said that sentence for him in her heart.

Regarding this issue, some countries in the past stated from the beginning that the upper class was not trustworthy, so they needed to have guns in their hands, juries, so-called evidence, etc. to achieve a balance.

But how can the little civilians fight too much for the rich? It's just a complex fig leaf.

In fact, this is also a difficult problem in modern society. When a person has huge wealth, enterprises and many personnel do their jobs for him, it is difficult to regard him as equivalent to ordinary people.

Even if the laws and systems are adjusted, they can gradually erode or bypass them through various means. These people will use these powers gained either lightly or invisibly to gradually devour fairness, and eventually make the country or the world unbalance and become a mess.

Before that day, humans have to pinch their noses and fight this disease. If you get a hole, I will make up for it. If you corrupt the country, it will be a mess. If you are healthier than you, you will surpass you and replace you.

Although it cannot be eliminated, it can eventually be iterated slowly so that it will not completely deteriorate.

What changes the world has always been a comprehensive technological innovation.

Because of the railway, the country's resources are connected, and all large-scale production and industrial chain construction are gradually formed.

Because of the broadcast and the Internet, the thoughts of all citizens began to converge, unified ideas, unified voice, unified sense of identity and collective memory.

With cameras and QR codes, the tracking and trajectory of various personnel can be clearly estimated, and many criminal behaviors have also begun to decline.

As technology becomes more and more abundant, the corners of haze will become fewer and fewer, and eventually it will become bright and fair.

In the dusk era, humans of the "Original Heart" faction discussed the end of institutional construction and the ultimate way to solve problems, which was also the origin of the later "Third of God" plan.

It’s a pity that they fell halfway, and later the ‘Mechanical Council’ picked it up and continued to walk, but the way they walked seemed to be different from the ‘Original Heart’.

The ‘Mechanical Council’, based on the idea that everything is a tool for me, brought the tool attributes of ‘Tortoise of God’ to the extreme, which briefly created the strength of ancient people. Unfortunately, this also led to the convergence of all human beings and also made the risk resistance in disasters extremely low.

The tides of the Sea of ​​Aigeka flooded everything, and the remaining humans formed the "Sun of God's Wings", found out the idea of ​​the "Tree of Life Sect", started again, and continued to walk.

Although it is a new world now, the situations encountered in the past will also be encountered again in the current civilization.

Lorran Hill could not explain to this man at this time that the world would change soon, and what he said would not be a problem in the future.

But now, let's be patient for the time being.

In the middle of the empire, chambers of commerce and wealthy people, who were rich because of emerging industries, began to pursue power. They clearly understood that in the empire, there was no power to be with them, and that wealth was just a fat sheep that could be slaughtered by others. People could find various names to seize it.

With the lack of a sense of security, these people's desire for power is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Although the emperor opened up the local edict to the parliamentary membership, allowing these people to participate in politics in a small part and gain some voice, under the inertia of the imperial tradition, the nobles still have great transcendence.

A nobleman duel with a wealthy businessman in the street and kills the other party, and will not commit too much trouble, and the noble court will also favor the nobles. Similarly, if a wealthy businessman uses a conspiracy to kill the nobles, he will suffer a catastrophe and all his property will be seized.

As a result, although the emperor had already opened up some of its power, many chambers of commerce gradually formed their own protective forces after obtaining huge wealth, urging by a lack of sense of security.

Such armed behavior gradually touched the sensitive nerves of the nobles in the fiefdom.

If you do business on my territory and still maintain such a large armed force, who has the final say here?

In the empire, the conflict between nobles and wealthy businessmen gradually became fierce.

But unlike the violent situation in the central region, the southern border is developing thriving.

First of all, there are no nobles in the southern border. The imperial civil war was cleaned up in the early days, and then the continuous uprising and rebellion consumed a lot. Finally, the unification of the "Fairy Wood" destroyed the remaining small nobles. The nominal ruler, the last descendant of the Red Dragon Duke, publicly expressed his resignation and all privileges, so that other small nobles dared not say anything.

Can you still be more glorious and noble than the Baska family? Obviously not, so under the circumstances, you can only accept it. In the end, like ordinary people, you will re-accept the distribution and division of local land by the "Fairy Wood" organization.

Now the "Fairy Wood" organization is in its rebirth period, and the first people they created are still there. It is the period when its beliefs are the most prosperous and rising. Naturally, there are no diseases of the old organization. Although some people may have some small thoughts due to the influence of the central part of the empire, they will not be able to make a climate and do not have much soil.

However, the situation in other areas of the empire is not so clear.

Most of the plains in the East are suitable for the climate, mainly planting, trade and animal husbandry. Although there are many handicrafts and new workshops, most of them are developed by the original aristocrats themselves. They were the industries of the aristocrats from the beginning, so they did not cause much problem.

Thanks to the influence of the elves' bloodline, the concepts of the East Realm nobles are often longer. They will live longer, so they also value sustainable development. Therefore, the treatment of workers is quite acceptable, and therefore, the conflict is smaller.

The northern border is currently limited by cold disasters and it is difficult to develop its economy. However, the workshops gradually established in various borders require a large amount of raw materials and minerals. The surviving residents here have begun to rely on the excavation of mines to survive.

Compared to the cold outdoors, underground or mountain mines seem to be much warmer, and therefore, many people's lifestyles have begun to change.
To be continued...
