My British Empire

Chapter 278 candidates

ps: Last day, ask for tickets, ask for subscription

The term right, it is the driving force for the whole society to move forward.

Why Westerners like money is because the way to enter the officialdom has been monopolized by the nobles. Ordinary people, even those with lower status, have no way to join the power class.

At this time, if you become rich in business, you can gain the admiration of others if you get a lot of money, become a guest of the nobles, and even participate in the feast of power sharing.

So, in order to change their destiny, gain rights, and enter the upper class and power class for themselves and their families, ordinary people frantically usurp wealth.

So, for Thomas to enter the power class, you will know that without the support of the nobles, an ordinary person has no way to continue to stand at the top of England.

After all, for a large number of noble and gentleman families, they are all looking forward to entering the center of power. And an ordinary person is the best replacement candidate.

And if Thomas wants to continue to gain power, he needs the support of the nobles, otherwise the site will be unstable.

That's why the Duke of Norfolk took it lightly. He was very confident in Thomas' final choice.

London is the largest city in England. As the center of power in England, it has a history of thousands of years and has a broad and far-reaching influence in England.

Different from different capitals in the East, London's economic development did not start with politics, but with the development of commerce, and gradually became the largest city in England.

So, even if rebellions broke out in other parts of England, the merchants had no worries in their hearts, and they still carried out business transactions in an orderly and continuous manner.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the cities and countryside in England at this time.

In England, urban and rural areas are separated, the two areas are separated.

Same as China, rural areas in England are closed and self-sufficient.

Farmers grow vegetables and fruits near the homestead, and feed pigs and chickens as food on the table.

Afterwards, use your remaining products to go to the town to exchange for items that you cannot produce and are indispensable.

Besides, the peasants were almost fixed in the village all their lives, with very little knowledge.

And the local gentry also fixed themselves in their hometowns all their lives, and did not yearn for London, the political center of England.

According to statistics, there are a total of 300 gentleman families in Kent, the county closest to London. Only 10% of the gentlemen choose to settle in London, and most of them are royal knights and members of parliament.

So, in the area fifteen miles outside the city of London, the City of London government does not have any jurisdiction, it belongs to the local gentlemen.

Today, as an officer under the head of the 100-household district, Lemire, as always, started to go to the 100-household district of Sweet, where Rodney, the 100-household chief, was going to start handling various matters in the 100-household district.

Looking at the home of District Chief Rodney not far away, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, pulled himself together, walked to the door without haste, knocked on the door, and then walked in gently.

"Your Excellency District Chief, may I ask, do you have any orders today?"

Lemiel glanced at the other three colleagues standing by the wall, and glanced suspiciously. Then he slightly bowed his waist, and walked to the side, His Excellency the Mayor of Rodney's Hundred Houses District, who was sitting on a wooden chair. A salute.

"Lemil, you came just in time. Today, I don't have any important things for you to deal with. Instead, I want to announce a decree signed by the mayor,

Your Excellency the mayor issued a decree, requiring each hundred-household district to select a competent officer and report to the city government! "

Rodney glanced at the faces of the other three people, with a calm smile on his face, and continued.

"I don't know what Your Excellency the Mayor means. The future is in a fog. This is what I was thinking after hearing the news!"

As he spoke, Rodney raised his head, his eyes wandered, and his steps moved gently and automatically.

"Perhaps, the recommended person has a bright future and becomes a high-class person!"

"Perhaps, I will be assigned a dangerous task, which is life-threatening!"

Speaking of the word danger, Rodney came to Lemir just now, almost in front of his face, and narrated in a low voice.

The other three turned their heads and saw Rodney focusing on Lemire.

Seeing this, the eager hearts of the three of them immediately calmed down. The result was obvious. Your Excellency the District Chief, it was obvious that he wanted to give this spot to Lemire.

Suddenly, the three had mixed feelings in their hearts, jealousy, regret, rejoicing, all mixed together.

"This—" Lemire looked at Rodney thoughtfully, but he didn't know that the candidate in his mind was himself, which made him happy, but then he was shrouded in hesitation.

After all, Rodney also said that danger and opportunity are equal to each other, depending on whether he has the courage to seize this opportunity.

For rights, Lemiel has an extreme desire deep in his heart, which comes from his inner inferiority complex for his family and resentment for social injustice.

In terms of clothing, a rich man from birth wears wool and fine linen, which are comfortable and beautiful; but he can only wear a rough leather cap and rags.

Rich people eat bread made of wheat, which is soft and pleasant; but he can only eat rye and barley. When there is a famine, he even has to eat oats eaten by horses, which makes his stomach and stomach difficult to digest.

So, regarding the various injustices in this society, he urgently gave birth to the idea of ??climbing up.

Under Rodney's gaze, this desire was brewing more and more intensely, and a sense of explosion gathered in his chest.

In his mind, there is a voice that is constantly persuading him: agree quickly, agree quickly, this is the most important moment in your life.

While he was lowering his head and contemplating, Rodney and the other three colleagues also opened their eyes wide, looking at his choice.

"So, Mr. Lemire, are you willing to take this opportunity?"

Looking at the young officer he was optimistic about, Rodney nodded slightly and asked.

"It's my honor! Your Excellency the District Chief!" Lemire immediately took Rodney's words, bowed down and thanked him, his face full of gratitude.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely not disgrace you!"

Lemir blushed, patted his chest, and under Rodney's scrutiny, made a strong promise.

"Do you three have any opinions?"

After seeing the guarantee, Rodney smiled in satisfaction, and then he turned his eyes to the other three who were deeply envious and jealous, and asked softly.

"I agree with your choice, Lemir is indeed suitable!" "This is the best arrangement!" "Your choice is so wise! I am also optimistic about Lemir!"
