Chapter 11: 1.11 The World Outside the Wall

The lower city of the imperial capital is bustling,

The entire street maintains a barely tidy scene with no dung, no peel, garbage, and cross-flow of sewage. Although there is no fixed garbage bin in Xiacheng District, there is a dark alleyway every two hundred meters. The garbage is obviously dumped In there.

The cleanliness of the city cannot be explained by the quality of the crowd. This is a manifestation of someone's management.

When humans are unmanaged, the clusters are very dirty and messy. This was the case with cross-flows of feces in medieval European cities in previous lives. The city is beautified and tidy. Jiucheng relies on the local people who have the power to consciously establish a system to prevent mess.

After entering the city, Binghei's attention was focused on the city appearance, and he quickly thought of the social area forces behind this area through the city appearance.

#

If it is modern society.

The streets are tidy. It is the city government that spends money on cleaning staff and cleaning cars. If they can hire cleaning staff, the government has the ability to hire police.

Every street has garbage bins, city management supervision, and city cleaning. These social orders are not disturbed, and they are the embodiment of social order.

And the more expensive social order, such as the security cameras in cities, this system was established to allow people to walk at night without worrying about their personal safety.

How much public order exists in society indicates the strength of the organization behind the society that is in charge of formulating the order

#

By observing the city, he judged the human and financial resources of the gangs behind the foundation of the social order in this lower urban area.

For example, if the beggar on the left is in an unorganized state, these beggars will flock to ask for money. And now they were crouching down the corner honestly, just sitting once and reaching out and begging. Once out of the corner, this is reaching out to the bowl and never actively begging. Quickly bow your head and pass the street.

And some strong men walking across the street with bare belly and tattoos are the honest source of these beggars.

Beggars, like mice, dare to laugh at the corner.

Although these idle men are overbearing, when they pass by the store, when they buy wine and meat, they perform bargaining. Obviously they are also restricted. Do not dare to buy and sell.

This is the street order under the control of the gang. The gang's family law manages the commercial order on the street.

#

After understanding the basic ecology of this Xiacheng district. Gradually there are numbers in Bing core.

"Where the rules cover, pay attention to the rules. Where the rules do not reach, don't expect the rules." Binghe cautioned himself in a mature tone that did not meet his normality. Of course, this mature temperament was only a short while, A few seconds later Bing Nui became a childish silly child.

#

As I walked through the streets, Bing Nui encountered a lot of small things.

1: "Children buy one candy, but it's sweet." An old lady with a basket leaned over.

Bingnu waved his hand, then smiled and refused, and left.

2: "Hey, boy, you shoes are too earthy, come and tell me what you should wear, um, don't go, don't give me face" A fourteen-year-old foolishly pointing at the fleeing Bingnuo scolded.

#

In Xiacheng District, Bingnuo's brain summarized three points of attention.

First don't buy anything to eat or drink.

Second, don't lead anyone. Do not accept anyone's enthusiastic help, and do not give anyone personal help.

Third does not go. The crowd was crowded, and they didn't go to the crowded place.

After avoiding the trouble, Binghe started to go where he wanted to go according to his purpose.

#

Came to Fourth Street.

In the middle of the street where the carriage passed, Binghe put on an eyepiece. The eyepiece switched to a bird's eye view. Four hundred meters directly above Binghe, an aircraft was hovering, and the view of Binghe was from the aircraft , But this aircraft does not have high-definition shooting, but only roughly shows one city building module. This is because Bing nuclear cannot make modern high-definition optical equipment.

Just like looking at the map on a mobile phone in the previous life, Binghe determined the direction from a high-altitude perspective and quickly walked towards an iconic building on the main road in Xiacheng District.

#

Mercenary Association, an empire semi-official organization. The mercenary association was semi-independent in the Royal Beast Age.

However, the industrial age empire did not allow any separate armed institutions to appear. Of course, if national rule is stronger, this kind of mercenary association will not appear. All national armed forces are highly unified.

And empire management cannot prevent people from getting firearms. Civilian armed forces can never be eliminated

Then only a semi-official management model can be adopted to support the controlled legalized mercenary regiments and completely ban the uncontrolled civilian armed forces.

Now a list of each mercenary group, origin, and the Empire will register. Of course, as long as there is no rebellion and collusion with foreign countries, the empire will not interfere too much with the internal affairs of the mercenaries. The Empire will sell weapons and equipment at high prices, and at the same time arrange some high-risk high-reward tasks for the mercenaries to complete. The Empire has had these mercenary groups in overseas intervention in recent years.

#

The mercenary hall was very empty and there was no noise. The guards wearing uniforms and guns were sitting behind the hall table, and they would maintain order immediately if there was chaos.

When Binghe walked into the glass door, the guards at the door quickly blocked Binghe's way. Say coldly: "Kids, go quickly, don't play near here."

Binghe Yan smiled and said: "I am, I thought of looking here, can I find some work?" The stutter is not pretended. When I first came to the mercenary association, I was inevitably a little nervous.

The guards on the other side of "haha" smiled, and then looked with cold chills from the top to the bottom, then said, "There are no dishes to wash here, but if you hehe."

A cough came from behind "Cough", and the guards heard it. Stand serious immediately.

A sturdy woman in a dark green suit, wearing black leather boots with a holster around her waist, came over. She looked at the guards at the door and rebuked, "What are you doing? Don't you want to do it?"

The lady's voice was not loud, but it made these soldiers quiet. A few seconds later, the lady turned her cold eyes to Bing nuclear and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Binghe said more nervously, "That's where I came to find a job, eh." Just when this lady's eyes became sharp, Binghe started to raise the machine to demonstrate the mechanics and prove his mechanic's actions. However, There was a shiver before the machinery was opened.

Binghe felt murderous, and the lady already had a firearm in her hand. I promise you, as long as you move it again, the muzzle will point at you.

"She's killed" Bing core came out of this judgment.

Thinking of killing, some flesh-and-blood memory pictures were rumored in his mind, causing Binghe to sweat coldly on his back, and his face filled with nervousness and fear.

Such a performance, however, reduced the alertness in the eyes of the woman. She looked at Binghe, dropped her gun and asked, "You? The mechanic?"

Binghe nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I just look at work, no other purpose."-Not protected by the rules, Binghe was very panicked at this moment.

The lady looked at Bing He again, looking in Bing He's hand and clothes collar. Seems to have guessed something, nodded, and said concisely: "Come with me."

The steel door opened, Binghe followed the lady into the door, and the janitor who had stood at the door immediately got up and went into a busy state.

#

The mercenary building is only four stories high, and buildings in the lower city are not allowed to be more than thirty meters high. The Mercenary Association's building is exactly thirty meters. In terms of design, it is necessary to pass a long walkway and a door. Finally came to a room in a conference hall.

Seeing this scene, Binghei's mind once again emerged a memory, and then looked at this building came up with this evaluation: "The building of the Hitler Prime Minister's model uses a long corridor and a door to create a trek Seeing the intro, giving the visitor a sense of oppression. "

Eventually came to an office with an area of ​​100 square meters, sitting in the middle of the hall an old man, the woman in green clothes came to the old man, whispered something, and then the old man looked up and looked at Bing nuclear. The scar on the corner of the old man's eyes ruined his image.

Binghe also tried to grin.

The old man froze Bingnuo, and tried to squeeze a gentle face, but actually said very scary: "Excuse me, do you want to join the mercenary organization? Boy, remind you in advance that this may not be suitable for you. "

Bing nuclear nodded his head, then suddenly shook his head, responded quickly, and said, "Wait, wait, I'm a mechanic, I'm looking forward to using your platform to find what I can do. The mechanic needs Experience. I'm not here to organize a group. I'm a student at the Imperial Academy of Machinery and I still have my studies. "

In the excuse, Binghe's tone gradually became smooth, and his eyes became condensed, starting to show no weakness, and at the same time there was no confusion with the old man. ——If you are bound to the mercenary group in the negotiation, it is equivalent to selling yourself. If you let the old person preside over the conversation, a series of cooperation will gradually follow the powerful direction of the mercenary association.

The old man smiled and said, "So, this?" He dragged a long note.

Binghe looked at the old man, turned his head, and felt that the old man didn't seem to have any sincerity.

So ten seconds later, he stood up, bowed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. Now that we don't need anything, let's just leave."

"Cough" The old man coughed and said, "Young people don't want to be so impatient."

However, Binghe, who had turned around, had to sit back again.

"I think things are too complicated, the way of cooperation, and the difficulties that may arise in cooperation, both parties can now put forward frankly. You and I are still strangers, and I hope we can show sincerity to each other." . "

The old man stood up and said, "I'm a man, Tuzhu, Didu Hegou District, the head of the mercenary department."

Binghe said: "Binghe, his place of origin, the Southern Black Sea Gunfire Territory. Now he is temporarily living as an intermediate mechanic in the Empire Celestial Zone (Imperial Palace District 1). I hope that through your platform, we can provide machinery for some mercenaries. Agreement. "

Tu Zhu, Biao, Binghe's answer was a bit surprising, but also expected. Although wearing ordinary clothes, even temperament was timid at first. But some traces of the aristocracy cannot be erased.

There are two types of juveniles of this age in Xiacheng District. One is to turn things silently in the trash, and the other is very precocious in order to eat meat. The eyes are more or less treacherous. shrewd. Every sentence is looking for each other's loopholes, trying to get cheap. But Binghe's eyes can't see these considerations, and the appearance is obviously not affected by the wind and frost. Obviously, they are nobles.

Tuzhu said, "What reward do you want?"

Bingnuo thought for a moment, and asked: "After the agreement is reached between the mercenaries and the task publishers. What benefits does the association rely on, what is the commission, or what?"

Picture Bamboo: "This depends on the situation, sometimes it is a commission, sometimes it is bookkeeping. When it reaches a certain level, some tasks assigned by the association need to be completed."

Bingnuo nodded: "Well, as usual, I meet the requirements of the client, and the association will make a valuation. Then divide."

Picture Bamboo: "How do you think of the proportion of this division?"

Bingnu was quite assured that the mercenary association was fair, and nodded: "Come on as normal. I believe in the fairness of the association."

Picture Bamboo: "So what kind of contract are you planning to enter into with us? We need a mechanic to be on standby here."

Bing Nuo thought for a moment: "Sign a one-month agreement, if there is no problem, you can extend it, eh, do I need to pay a deposit?" Bing He gradually took the initiative in the conversation, and was quite comfortable. On the sofa.

Tuzhu nodded: "No problem, then in the end, you need to sign it." Tuzhu took out a contract.

The woman in green put the contract in front of Binghe. Binghe looked at the contract, flipped through the clauses, and assigned red numbers to each number. Then he took out his pen, marked his red circle and signed his name-Binghe. (I did not sign my last name, and the number is circled in red, which is the custom of the gun flame family. It indicates that the number circled in red is the number I see. If there is a change in the contract, it will not be recognized.)

Each noble family of the Empire had some unique habits when signing the instruments.

The bamboo figure on the side saw this slight movement, and his face stiffened slightly. ——Bingnu subtext expresses that he is from the Gunyan family, and Tuzhu is not fully convinced.

#

In such a society, a lot of laws are ambiguous, and there is more room for interpretation. The contract has huge variability.

The mercenary associations in Xiacheng District are basically strong. Tuzhu has the right to explain some unambiguous definitions in the contract. The laws of the empire are biased towards interpretation by the strong.

This is how many civilians are looted in Xiacheng. But these rich men who have taken home by plundering. In the face of the larger aristocracy, it is necessary to be careful and afraid to be plundered in the same way. In cooperating with the big noble, the contract has little compulsory binding effect on the big noble.

Unless it is useful to the great aristocracy, the great aristocrat will use the ledger records and details of the cooperation in the cooperation. And if it is not useful to the great aristocracy, those in power will be based on their preferences, or benevolent, or cruel.

After signing a one-point agreement, Binghe did not give things to the waiting green lady, but looked up at Tuzhu and said, "Isn't the contract in duplicate? The other one."

The green lady on the side said, "We only have one copy here, which will be locked in the association's box." Binghe frowned, a spark appeared on the mechanical glove on his right hand, and the flames appeared. One to burn the contract.

Here Bing Nuo is too careful. If it is explicitly stated that he is a gun flame family, there will not be any problems at all, but Bing Nui does not know the family situation. The family ’s current actions seem to protect themselves in the political vortex of the imperial capital. Bing nuclear is afraid Become a point of use by external forces, such as the scene where the young master owes huge debts and is threatened. These cranky guessing plots made Bing Nuo too cautious.

On the other hand, the woman in green was ready to raise her hand, but found that a red dot was shot outside the window, which made her abruptly avoid two steps. In the sky outside the window, the mechanical bird had swooped to a low level. A built-in pop-up window emits a laser beam. It is just the faint light of the nature of the laser pointer. Binghe did not load any weapon system on this mechanical bird. But the people in the room didn't know.

Tu Zhu said in a complaining tone: "You young man, this is not right."

Bingnu restrained his nervousness and trembled his voice, saying: "My society has little experience, many behaviors do not understand, and many offend. The contract matters are different from what I heard at home. Let this part be void, Rong I'll go back and ask. "

Tuzhu said: "Wait a minute, two copies are also possible. Cui Tiao (Ms. Green's name), make another copy."

The mercenary association is a strong man when he treats other people. One point of the contract is directly locked in his own safe, and the other party only has a vague note. At this time, after seeing the opposition of Binghe, the chairman smiled and took out another blank contract.

A few minutes later, Binghe waited until Tuzhu had signed it, and Binghe picked up his contract. He looked up at the clock in the room, which was modeled on the celestial clock tower, and said, "It's not early, I'm going back today, and I'll be back when I'm ready tomorrow." —— This scammy environment, I don't want to stay for a moment Go on.

Tu Zhu smiled and said, "Do you need to arrange a carriage?"

Binghe smiled and declined, "No, I'm used to walking back. The 17th point of the mechanical zone is not far from here." (Binghe tries to warn the other party not to do anything on the way back.)

After Binghe walked out of the door, Tu Zhu's smiley face was immediately folded into a normal scar face. He whispered to the woman beside him, "Go and check"
