Chapter 677 Parliamentary Monarchy

"Eileen, do you have someone arranged in the Holy Court?" George said. Now they have too little information about the Holy Court.

"Very few, you know, the two sides of heaven are completely isolated. Even the 'other' me can't hear the voices of believers on the other side of the Holy Court. This should be partly due to Aloysius." Irene He shook his head and said: "In addition, it has always been difficult for my people to arrange to go in - sending the Holy Son there is like beating a dog with a meat bun. Ordinary people, as outsiders, will be suppressed by local forces."

Speaking of this, Irene's face looked a little strange: "On the contrary, in recent years, the people sent by the Holy Court to the Moon Kingdom have gradually gained real power - the Queen of the Moon Kingdom has helped a lot. However, in recent times, The honeymoon period between the Queen of the Moon Kingdom and the Holy Court seems to have passed. The relationship between the two parties has become extremely delicate again - there is a sense of mutual dissatisfaction. "

Eileen said: "That girl is a key figure. Although I heard that there are many 'pro-Saint Court' nobles in the Moon Kingdom who oppose many of her policies, but if 'Ariadne' comes to the world, I will If we work together with the Queen, we can have a good fight with the people in the Holy Court!"

In the final analysis, we still have to deal with the queen.

George sighed with some emotion in his heart: 'It's better to be born well than to do well - this girl simply brought the best of everything in the world out of her mother's womb. ’

But he didn't know that Her Majesty the Queen was actually the winner after all the hardships.

On the next journey, George and others encountered a group of people coming out of various workshops. Most of the people who gathered in groups and chatted while walking were dressed in neat rough clothes - both men and women. Because it was raining, these people all wore bamboo hats and raincoats. Some people are holding colorful bamboo leaf umbrellas!

Obviously, George and the others seemed to have just caught up with the "get off work" of those big workshops. The number of workers shocked George - compared with the Moon Country, many other countries are simply like primitive feudal societies!

And he noticed that many people did not go home directly after get off work, but went directly to the "teahouse" on the street to start drinking tea, eating and chatting.

"We just happened to be in time to get off work." Palos stroked his beard and looked at the sky and said - it was already dusk, and the sky in the distance was gradually darkening. Lanterns have also been lit up on various buildings on the street.

From Palos' mouth, George learned. There are so many workshops in Moon City - intensive labor has almost replaced self-sufficient family workshops.

In the City of the Moon, there are many large workshops with more than a thousand workers - but in the City of Canglan, there are only three large workshops with more than a thousand workers! Similar to textile industry qualifications, small family workshops have almost completely disappeared with the emergence of textile machines.

Obviously, capitalism has completely sprouted here.

In addition to these neatly dressed people, there are also all kinds of people. But most of them wear silk - there are also some people wearing tuxedos and large trench coats, but not many.

This time when we came here, none of the clothes that Palos prepared for everyone included this kind of tuxedo - only caravan stewards like Gale wore this kind of clothes. The other people were wearing silk warrior uniforms and wizard robes from the Moon Kingdom - there were many people wearing such clothing on the street, so it seemed that George and his group were like an ordinary caravan. Coupled with the confidentiality work of the Public Assistance Association, it is difficult for lurkers to receive news in advance before they contact the Queen.

After arriving at Moon City, George also discovered. The situation is the same as what Palos said. There are many people wearing such warrior uniforms and wizard robes on the street, and most of them are from other places. But no matter which country they come from, most of them will prepare a set of silk warrior uniforms after arriving in the Moon Country. On the one hand, this dress is really beautiful and cool, on the other hand, the silk clothes of Yue Kingdom are cheap and exquisite.

But this made George feel a little strange. Because when they were on the merchant ship before, the people in the consortium wore formal attire such as tuxedos and high hats. Many nobles and wealthy households in Canglan City also dress like this - in fact, they imitate the dress of the Moon Country.

But after arriving in the Moon Country, he found that there were very few people wearing such clothes.

George couldn't help but ask this question.

"Sir, many businessmen who have come to the Moon Kingdom do like to dress up like this." Palos said: "But in fact, the people who wear these clothes in the Moon Kingdom are salesmen of consortiums or traders who evade taxes. "

Speaking of this, Palos pointed not far away. George looked over there and saw a man in a windbreaker communicating something with an outsider. Then the man in the windbreaker opened the windbreaker - it was filled with various small wands and exquisite rare objects and potions.

Seeing this scene, George's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Indeed, in the Kingdom of the Moon, all 'businessmen' would dress like this - the employees of these consortiums are all like Gale. In the eyes of ordinary city nobles, it is natural that they need to be fawned over for big sales. Therefore, slowly, many nobles and wealthy families followed suit - in their eyes, those consortium employees were not only deceived, but also dressed extremely fashionably and uniquely.

But real nobles like Salman all wear silk or gauze.

"In addition, sir." Palos said: "The silk of the Moon Kingdom is good and cheap. And the country does not restrict dressing. But in other countries, the 'lord' has supreme authority - many territories even prohibit wearing colored clothes to show the specialness of the nobility."

After chatting with Palos, George suddenly realized that in this Moon Kingdom, although there are still titles and lords, the feudal system is almost dead in name only - since the generation of the Queen's grandfather, it has begun to be completely centralized. It even set off a reformist trend.

Now in this country, it is actually a 'parliamentary monarchy'!

However, in this so-called parliament, in fact, the representatives of various consortiums serve as members of parliament - all of them are nobles.

The ministers in the court are another faction - they come from the academy.

In this Moon Kingdom, there is a ladder of advancement similar to the 'imperial examination'. And here, if a person wants to be a minister, he may not be a noble, but he must have knowledge.

This makes the queen not only still have an important influence in politics, but also play a role in stability and balance - especially in political crises.

And this generation of queens is even more special - the politics of the Moon Kingdom is actually controlled by three super families, and this generation of queens, Her Majesty Theodoric, has the blood of these three families at the same time - this started after her father and mother's political union.

And Her Majesty is the spokesperson for these three super families.

At the same time, in the entire Moon Kingdom, her personal power is also very large - she is in charge of several important chambers of commerce and the academy on the side of Palos. Therefore, Her Majesty Queen Theodoric is not only supported by these three big families, but also her cohesion and influence are rare in history.

Once, even the Holy Court faction took her as the core - so she once controlled the entire temple. Although she is now incompatible with the Holy Court faction, she is still the biggest behemoth in the entire Moon Kingdom.

Therefore, this queen is an extremely important role. It can be said that if we deal with her, we will deal with one third of the Moon Kingdom.

Another one third belongs to the Holy Court.

As for the last one third, it belongs to Irene.
