Blackstone Code

Chapter 291: custom

   Governor of the province, his position in Nagalil is probably equivalent to that of the governor of the Baylor Federation, but there are some differences.

  Here, the governor of the province is the existence of the military and government, but he is not without opponents, his opponent is the high priest.

   People follow the arrangements of power, but believe in gods more. This also maintains a strange balance between power and theocracy.

   Generally speaking, the provincial governor is in power, but he can't cover the sky with one hand.

   "Didn't your boss come with you?" Aser's father enthusiastically took his hand and asked about Lynch.

   Aser mentioned in his letter from years ago that his boss might invest here. He knows his father very well. This old man is a person who can't hide his concerns, or is a person who likes to show off.

He likes to show off his success to others. For example, he has a son with foreign settlement rights. For example, his son will mail him some living expenses every month. For example, his son is a big man in the company. Is a manager...

   He likes to say this, it can make other people respect him. Every time he goes on the street, he doesn't need to collide with the untouchables, and enjoys everything that only the master can enjoy, such as distance.

   hate?

   This is a local culture. Perhaps Aser’s father thought the curse was effective before, but now he doesn’t care anymore.

   When local officials also heard from some people that Aser’s boss was coming to invest, Aser’s family status was significantly improved.

   Officials kept asking when Aser’s boss would come, what scale of investment he would bring, and what kind of factory would be built here...

   In addition to these officials, the locals are also very concerned about these issues, because these will also affect their lives.

The formation of a small-scale eco-economic environment around a factory is the most normal situation in this era. Once the investment is determined, it means that the factory has to recruit workers. Some people can hold iron rice bowls, and more people will welcome them. Here are some income changes.

Many people visited Aser’s father, and he gradually became a famous person in the city. Sometimes he was invited to participate in festivals, political activities, and religious activities. He also felt more and more. I am very important.

   At this time, the passenger ship that was about to set sail after the end of the supply sounded the whistle, and the captain did not seem to like to stay in this place for even a minute.

You must know that at every supply point along the way, the captain will communicate with the sailors in-depth with some indigenous girls who need help near the port and leave something behind. Only here, they will leave as soon as the supply is completed, which seems very annoying. Same here.

   The huge whistle made Aser glance back at the upcoming passenger ship, and when he turned around, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

The father and the brothers in front of them have become extra strange, not as kind as they communicated in the letters. Everyone is like a familiar stranger, with a passionate smirk on their faces and greed in their eyes. , All this makes Aser a little uncomfortable.

   But he still answered this question, "I will be here about mid-March. My boss still has something to do with it..."

   "That is two weeks from now?" Aser's father clapped his hands, "This is really a good time!"

   As for why this time is good, he actually doesn't know. He said this is just a habit, a habit of beginning to integrate into the upper class, habitually affirming everyone and everything, this is also the characteristic of Nagalil.

   "Go back first, you must be very tired!"

   In Aser's surprised gaze, his elder brother drove a car that looked like it was produced ten years ago, or more.

   It still retains the most bizarre and universal aesthetic characteristics of the last era.

His elder brother patted the car body, "Unexpectedly, we have already driven into the car..." In his tone, there was a kind of pride that made Aser dumbfounding and very strange. He even asked about Ah. Sr, "Did you have your own car when you were in the Federation?"

   Aser smiled, his elder brother did not continue to ask, but from his expression, he seemed to think that Aser did not have his own car.

   While sitting in the car with the oncoming smelly wind, Aser suddenly understood something.

   When he returned home, the small broken house in his memory had disappeared. It was replaced by a house that looked no less than his single-family house in the Baylor Federation, even more exquisite and larger.

  The religious culture of Nagalil has long penetrated into every corner of life, even the buildings, every brick, every stone pillar, there are patterns or carvings containing religious colors.

   The combination of these things makes the house look not just as simple as luxury, but also full of a kind of noble temperament because of theocracy.

   The house is in a courtyard, and Aser is a little curious, "I remember there are some neighbors next to us."

   His father nodded proudly and said, "Yes, but because we built a new house, they left here!"

   To drive away those neighbors, Asher’s father would not make him feel ashamed, but rather proud of him. Most people in this society can’t do this, but he can. This is where he is proud.

Aser froze for a moment. The culture and education he received in the Baylor Federation over the years has given him some more precious things, that is character. He doesn't think this is something to show off, and he built it for his own house. It's better looking, there is a bigger yard, not only to tear down other people's houses, but also to drive those people away, what a cruel and terrible thing!

   But these people in front of him felt that this was something of pride. He was getting more and more uncomfortable with everything here. His father and his brothers were completely different from those described in the letter.

   He silently followed his father and brother into the room. His mother and his brothers’ wives had already knelt at the door to welcome the return of the men.

Nagalil is a typical patriarchal society. Women do not have the slightest status to speak of. Aser is not so comfortable that his eldest brother’s wife takes off her shoes and washes her toes with water. Putting on his new shoes made him feel embarrassed, but everyone else thought it was normal.

   The men in the family came to the living room and sat on the benches made of vines. These vines were very tough after drying. Some high priests or those in power would have these wicker chairs in their homes.

   The men were sitting, and the women knelt in a row and handed them spiced boiled milk and some local special cakes. They said they were the mistresses of the family, rather than the servants of the family.

   "Why does your boss suddenly want to invest in us? Is there anything worth investing in here?" Aser's father asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

  How poor Nagalil is. Everyone knows. Although many people say that there are rich mineral resources hidden here, no rich minerals have been discovered so far.

The only thing you can tell is probably the spices. Many, many years ago, the spices of Nagalil were very famous, but with the development of chemistry, some expensive spices have been replaced by fragrances, and they have become less valuable. NS.

   Except for a few top rich people who have demand for natural spices, ordinary people don't care whether the taste they taste comes from some grass leaves or chemical additives.

Aser was silent for a while, and then said according to Lynch’s words, "The labor here is very cheap...", as he spoke, he took the cup handed over by his eldest brother and wife, containing some extras. Milk boiled with spices.

   Before tasting a bite, I can smell a very strange smell.

   These milks are all freshly squeezed, and the spices are fresh. The smell is very strange, fishy, ​​nasty, and a bit of spice fragrance. Looking at the spice leaves that are constantly churning in the milk, Aser doesn't want to drink it.

   Although he didn't want to drink, he still said "thank you".

   In Nagalil, if relatives come to the house, it is usually the wife of the oldest boy in the family to entertain guests. This is a rule and a custom.

   Aser was used to being cautious in the Baylor Federation, but his thank you made his father and his elder brother slightly change his face.

   After the two coldly glanced at the woman who was already kneeling on the ground, Aser's father said with a smile~lightnovelpub.net~You don't need to thank her, that's what she should do. "

   "She eats ours, drinks ours, wears ours, we give her shelter from the wind and rain, everything she does is what she should do."

   "I know this is a habit you developed in that place in the Federation, but when you come back home, you don't need these!"

   said his father casually twisted some black-yellow powder crystal-like seasonings from the seasoning jar beside him, and spilled them into the cup of milk in Aser's hands.

   endured the messy taste and took a sip of the boiled fresh milk. Aser almost vomited it out in one gulp. He resisted the discomfort and swallowed it and never wanted to touch this thing again.

His father asked again, "What is your factory going to do, how many people are there?" He began to show off again, "How can I say it now is a person with some prestige, and I can help you with some things. Solve, do you understand what I mean?"

   Aser nodded and said something that Lynch had confessed to him.

   The more he talked, the more strange he felt to this family, not just this family, the whole Nagalil seemed to be different from what he remembered.

   What made him even more uncomfortable was that he was ready to go to bed at night, but his eldest brother’s wife entered his room with a blush in flimsy clothes...
