Chapter 140 Nobles and Commoners
And on the other side,
The rebellion in Stormwind City has been suppressed by Lothar with iron-blooded means, and a large number of nobles have been beheaded!
The workers of the Stonemasons Union got their wages as they wished, and even a lot more!
Thirty thousand people, plus their own families, would make at least a hundred thousand people, while the entire Storm Kingdom has a population of just over a million.
In the Orc War, Stormwind suffered the most casualties!
The craftsmen who received the money returned home with smiles on their faces and shared it with their wives, children and parents.
John was an ordinary worker in the Craftsmen's Guild. Because he was very strong and worked very hard and conscientiously, Edwin appointed him as the team leader of the porters.
He returned home today with the salary from the Craftsmen's Association and happily opened the door.
"Father, I got my salary. I bought roast chicken and Stormy Liquor today. We are going to have a good drink tonight! Let's celebrate!"
A white-haired old man looked up at his son at the door, his brows slightly frowned.
"John, it will cost a lot of money to rebuild Stormwind City, right? Where does the king get the money to pay you?"
John's father is a veteran soldier. As a veteran of many battles, he understands the current difficulties faced by Storm Kingdom!
The royal city was reduced to ruins, the country was occupied by orcs, and the buildings in various places were almost destroyed.
The cost of reconstruction is frighteningly high. If it weren't for the support of the Dark Night Empire, the reconstruction of Stormwind would be extremely difficult!
When John was asked this by his old father, he was shocked and a feeling of guilt instantly hit his heart!
Yup!
The kingdom is in a state of disrepair and almost all facilities need to be rebuilt. Where do these millions of gold coins come from?
Thinking of this, John quickly turned around and slammed the door!
Quickly run to Stormwind City.
A moment later, he saw a large group of craftsmen surrounding the Stormwind City Construction Office, shouting about something!
He quickly moved forward!
Soon he heard what they were saying.
"Sir, we don't need that much money. Stormwind City needs money everywhere. I will donate two-thirds of this reward to the country!"
"Me too!"
"I feel the same way. As long as we have enough to eat, that's enough! The country needs money!"
"..."
The official in charge of urban construction smiled bitterly and said earnestly,
"Everyone calm down. We know you are doing this for the good of the kingdom, but this money was approved by His Majesty the King himself, and you are worrying too much. The country currently has a lot of money, enough for future construction!"
"Is this true? Then why was the salary owed for so long?"
"Yeah, why did the Countess always make excuses when we were unhappy about the salary?"
Many people also raised questions?
The official was not annoyed, but said calmly and loudly: "Because we have received assistance from the Dark Night Empire, there will be no problem with your current and future salaries!"
Upon hearing this, some well-informed craftsmen were shocked!
Empire of Dark Night?
That ancient, powerful and mysterious country!
He actually helped the Storm Kingdom again!
Many people present felt endless gratitude towards the first empire in the world of Azeroth!
"So it's the Night Elf Empire. No wonder our salaries are so much higher?"
"Haha... That's great. With their help, it won't be long before our Storm Kingdom regains its former glory!"
"What the past is? The future is a brand new country, and humans are the strongest!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Humans are the strongest!"
"..."
On an open-air balcony in the distance, Losa and Salvador were sitting on chairs.
Salvador closed his eyes and rested, I wonder what he was thinking!
Losa looked at the scene below with a smile on his face, feeling very relieved!
"See, Ryan, your kingdom will be united in the future, and your son will be a good king! Storm Kingdom will become the pearl of mankind!"
"Don't think too much, Lothar. Stormwind Kingdom's problems are not just these!"
Losa was stunned when he heard this, frowned, and turned to look at his friend.
"Salvatore, do you mean to say there are other problems within the Storm Kingdom?"
Salvador rolled his eyes.
"The conflict between the nobles and the common people is the most fundamental!"
Losa didn't say anything. Having been in a high position for many years, he understood the deep meaning of this sentence very well!
Throughout history, the conflict between nobles and commoners has always been the core of social structural conflicts.
As the ruling class at the top of society, the aristocracy holds the leading power in politics, economy and military, while the common people constitute the foundation of society, and their lives and well-being are often constrained by the interests of the aristocracy. This contradiction manifests itself in different forms and degrees in different historical periods and cultural backgrounds.
In European feudal society, the contradiction between the nobility and the common people was particularly acute. The nobility maintained their privileged status through control of land, while the common people were attached to the nobility as serfs or tenants, forced to pay heavy taxes and undertake heavy labor. With the rise of cities and the development of commerce, the emerging bourgeoisie began to rise. They pursued economic freedom and political rights, which conflicted with the traditional aristocratic power structure. This class contradiction eventually led to a series of social changes, such as the French Revolution, which overthrew the feudal system and established a bourgeois republic.
The contradiction between the nobility and the common people is also deeply rooted in Chinese history. In the early feudal society, the nobility maintained their social status through the hereditary system, while the common people faced restrictions on land annexation and social mobility. With the implementation of the imperial examination system, some common people had the opportunity to become officials through examinations, which eased social contradictions to a certain extent. However, as time went on, the contradiction between the nobility and the emerging landlord class gradually became prominent, especially against the background of uneven land distribution and frequent peasant uprisings, this contradiction reached its peak.
In modern society, although the concepts of democracy and the rule of law have been deeply rooted in people's minds, the contradiction between the nobility and the common people has not completely disappeared. In some countries, social inequality is still serious, and the concentration of wealth and power has led to the intensification of social stratification. This inequality is not only reflected in the economic field, but also in education, medical care, employment and other aspects. Therefore, how to achieve social justice and equality and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor is still an important issue that modern society needs to face and solve.
And here in the world of Azeroth, if there were a modern person by his side, Salvador would definitely tell him that there would be no such contradiction in his country!
No worries about money, no worries about illness, no worries about education, no worries about cultivation resources!
In the Dark Night Empire, all education and medical care are free!
Any night elf can become an elite in society through his own efforts!
The early stage cultivation resources are also provided free of charge, and the later stage resources can also be exchanged for military merits!
The promotion channel for the Night Goblins will never be closed!
