Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 710 The Glory of Nobles and the Rise of Commoners

Huang Jiang has never denied the contribution of nobles to the Blue Federation.When the mirages invaded and the entire human race was in jeopardy, they stepped forward and rushed to the forefront of the front line, using the backward weapons of humans to stubbornly block the mirage's attack.At that time, the ancestors of today's nobles did not have the so-called titles of baron, earl or even duke.

But not denying history does not mean that Huangjiang recognizes the rationality of the aristocratic group.At least in Huang Jiang's eyes, most of the nobles of the Blue Federation are now garbage. They are blood-sucking bugs that only know how to hang on the Federation's body and suck blood. Fortunately, they like to scream without realizing it.

As industrialization continues to advance, the voices of the nobles become more harsh.In many places, the landed aristocrats even clamored that machines would take away workers' jobs and incited factory workers to smash machines.This is a very ridiculous behavior, but it is still somewhat sensible. More actions against the nobles will only make Huang Jiang feel ridiculous.

In the stage play of the new era, these old products performed one comic show after another, revealing the struggle between the old and new forces.

Huang Jiang was a little surprised that the Lan family took the path of Sun Shadow Orchid, because before, their eyes were more focused on the Tulip collar.However, looking at the information from all parties attached to the document by Hood, it is not difficult to see that the Lann family has already had such momentum.From the beginning they had not pinned their hopes on the indecisive Milton.

While connecting various governors in the name of Milton, they also visited a large number of influential nobles. What they discussed was unknown to Huang Jiang.But when he saw the nobles' development bill, Huang Jiang knew that this would probably be the last counterattack of the old nobles in the new era.

How much momentum can they create?Huang Jiang did not dare to draw a conclusion on this point.Because compared to the changes in the times caused by major events that reshuffled society, the Blue Federation has never experienced such pain. As a result, there are still a large number of old nobles in various territories within the federation, and they are quite influential locally. .

One premise that needs to be known is that to this day, most of the deacons in the Blue Federation’s deacon circle are still of noble origin, but most of them actually only have a noble name, and their family background is no different from that of commoners, and they even have Not as good as middle-class families in some cities.

But obviously, Huang Jiang doesn't think everyone has accepted this fact.After the expansion of territory by the civilian deacons headed by Huang Jiang and Sartre through the original pioneering bill aroused widespread discussion and attention in the federation, it seemed to vaguely indicate that the era of civilian deacons had arrived.

The so-called Noble Development Act, just like its name, reveals a very obvious class character.The content is actually similar to the original development bill, which means that the islands captured from the Mirage Front will be owned by the War Steward.But this bill emphasizes the glory of the nobles, that is, their ancestors were the heroes who resisted the phantom, and the descendants must inherit this courage, dare to fight back against the phantom, and regain the homeland that once belonged to humans.

In Huang Jiang's eyes, this sentence was no different from nonsense.Because it is the obligation of all deacons to regain the homeland of mankind. This is even written into the motto of the Deacon Academy. This is very consistent with the views of the radicals who were squeezed out by conservatives and could only teach in the academy.But the bill specifically emphasizes the nobility at the front, which is somewhat intriguing.

This is more of a declaration than a bill. Once it is passed, the behavior of noble families such as the Lann family will be extremely correct in the future.And what makes Huang Jiang even more impressed is that this bill will definitely be passed.

Even though there were only three governors who proposed the proposal, which seemed to be far behind the majority, Huang Jiang was basically certain that it would be quickly voted on.Even someone like Emily who regards aristocratic tradition as child's play would not veto it.

In the final analysis, the largest nobles in the Federation are precisely the various governor families.Even if the large governor families in Sunflower Collar, Luwei Floral Collar and other places have been slowly deconstructed under the leadership of Emily and Gibran, gradually losing their aristocratic aura and taking the civilian route, it is undeniable that even if their own families did not object , there are many families in the territory who will also put pressure on them.Many of the people the Lann family had contacted before were like this. They were not famous, but they still had a lot of say in the governor's territory.It is conceivable that in the future, public opinion will build momentum. This discussion about the glory of the nobility will set off a craze in the Federation, and it is very possible that the Lane family will use this momentum to force Milton.

As for the thoughts of Governor O'Neill of Sun Shadow Orchid, Huang Jiang can probably guess that the two most famous pioneers today, Sutter-Andrew and himself, are both from civilian backgrounds, which has allowed a large number of civilian deacons to take advantage of the situation and rise. Most of the rising stars who have emerged as deacons in recent years are civilians. Some who failed to pass the federal deacon exams and could only become sea soul masters were even inspired by this. They united with several sea soul masters to attack the island occupied by Mirage. , and it really came down.This incident was reported for a long time at that time, and the leaders were rewarded and promoted to federal deacons as an exception.

And this also opened a big hole.

That is——besides the selection examination of the Deacon Academy, there is another path to become a Federation deacon.This kind of path is precisely what the aristocratic faction headed by Governor O'Neill does not want to see, because in this case, the advantage of family education they occupy will be gone.

Of course, this advantage is already on the verge of disappearing.Although Huang Jiang needs to rely on Ship Niang in other places, he is a professional in exams, and his 12 years of exam-oriented education are not in vain.Combined with his own experience, Huang Jiang looked at the opportunity and joined forces with the Chamber of Commerce to set up a training institution to provide exam training for students who want to become federal deacons.

The people who participate in this kind of training are basically civilians, because most of the children of the nobles have received education in advance and even have special tutors.Huang Jiang knows very well what training institutions should do. You don't need to teach them any profound knowledge. Everything is just for the exam.This was originally a big business to make money, but Huang Jiang did it casually. At that time, he already owned a large number of industries such as Jiagang, Jialan Automobile, HM Apparel, and so on, and he was no longer short of money. For some of their purposes, the League has kept tuition fees extremely low to ensure that all ambitious young people can receive relevant education.

Regardless of the process, let’s just talk about the conclusion. Over there, among the federal deacons who graduated from the Deacon Academy in recent years, the proportion of civilians has increased year by year. It is even completely different from the scene where nobles occupied the forefront of the class that Huang Jiang graduated from. Many deacons are from civilian backgrounds. You can also get the best in the exam.

The Merchant Alliance used this to invest in a large number of federal deacons, successfully gaining itself a large number of supporters in military circles other than the parliament.

The situation has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years. It is no wonder that O'Neill is so eager and even accepted the proposal of the Lann family.

All the governors can know what the Lan family wants to do.

But sometimes the trend is what it is, and knowing it and being able to stop it are two different things.
