Chapter 69 Prince 4

The princes are the supreme ruling group of the "empire", with vast land and ruling many people, but this "empire" must be quoted, because this empire is not a concept on earth, and the world has not been established as the kind of state machine that is well-known on earth.

Take the uncle as an example. Although the uncle is a lord, the uncle has extremely loose rule over the people in his territory. Specifically, everyone below knows that they are ruled and protected by the prince. However, the uncle never collects taxes, conscripts, or organizes civilians because there is no need at all. He occasionally recruits some entourages and may also find some "beauties", but this is definitely a benefit. A vacant position around the prince is worth fighting for by the tribes below.

It is impossible for the ruler on earth to not collect taxes without rovers, because the ruler himself, his followers, his officials, and his soldiers need to be supported. State machines, various institutions, and various personnel must be established on a tax-based financial system. The construction of cities, palaces, water conservancy facilities, roads and other projects requires a manpower collection system based on corvee. There are almost no exceptions from ancient times to the present.

But in this world, Prince Apo can support himself and everyone around him by relying solely on himself. The "summoning food" that Zhang Cheng saw today is the embodiment of the prince's power (although Zhang Cheng doesn't know why he has this ability).

So although this greasy uncle ruled the land, there was almost no element of enslavement or domination. Rather than dominance, the prince provided welfare for his people unilaterally. All he received was the title of "ruler of the archipelago and the coast", as well as the awe of all the followers and people.

At the same time, because the world's productivity is backward, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and large areas of land are empty. This leads to two inevitable consequences. On the one hand, there is no conflict between tribes, because there is no need for conflict between different tribes. Even if there is a real conflict, it is easy for princes with super-civilized technology to mediate. It is nothing more than finding a suitable place to migrate one of the tribes. It is not difficult, and it is a simple task. On the other hand, the moral standards of this primitive tribe are very high, and everyone is a **, and there will be no lazy people who are basking in the sun and not working. As for class exploitation... I'm sorry, the productivity is not yet developed, and the class has not appeared. Everyone is the same.

As a ruler, there is almost nothing to do. So the uncle lives a day of eating, drinking, basking, bragging every day. He is bored and goes to the jungle to hunt, eat and eat and catch fish... a life like a fairy. He accidentally goes to a tribe under his name to ask for some local specialties to change his taste. This is definitely not oppression, but to look down on you, and to say "I still remember you are like this place", which is definitely a gratitude and tears.

Once the uncle has no money (in fact, the world has not even appeared in money) and has no supplies, he will have a sacrificial ceremony and he will have whatever he wants. He only needs the prince to come and pray to the "God", and things will fall from the sky immediately.

If there were any residents here holding up the banner of "Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers be more greedy", the uncle would probably be overjoyed and immediately waved his pen and announced, "You have been independent from now on, go whatever you want!", and then secretly glad that he had thrown away a bunch of useless burdens.

Of course, in fact, no one wants to be independent or anything. Without the protection of a prince, they will be attacked by other places. Because of the poor technology across the ages, it is impossible to resist, let alone win.

People without rulers are "abandoned people" and are no different from orphans. They are still unable to resist after being hit by various blows and humiliations.

There is no war in this world as it is difficult to fight. I think it is like using a stone sword and axe to fight against electromagnetic rifles and anti-gravity aircraft... this is simply a joke.

On Earth, Uncle Black who picked up the AK rifle can still beat Uncle Black who holds a bow and arrow, let alone the stone spear and stone axe.

Unless the two princes fight each other, they will feel like war at this time. Unfortunately, the empire is in charge of it. It’s okay to make a small fight. If you make a little bigger, the empire is not deaf and blind.

There is no possibility of a Jingnan battle in this world, let alone dozens or hundreds of princes in the capital.

There is no army, no government, no public security, procuratorial and judicial system, and in fact there is nothing! This is a country at the primitive social level. But because the princes have super technology, such an otherwise loose world has been forcibly crushed into an empire.

In short, for the princes, life is not stressful.

But the side effect of backward social production is that the cultural and entertainment resources are serious shortages.

A group of primitive tribes living a life of fishing and hunting, and even agriculture is probably just a slash-and-burn farming level. They cannot jump out of the "Pure Land of Bliss" and cannot develop any variety shows. Of course, they cannot create TV and movies, and even if they have equipment, they have no content.

In fact, Zhang Cheng understood after watching the singing and dancing tonight. This kind of primitive and quaint dance has not beautiful movements, and the music is also the most primitive - in fact, music that beats the beats with your hands on the wood can be called primitive drums. It’s okay to appreciate it once, but it feels fresh. You will soon get tired of it when you watch it every day.

So for these princes, they have no worries about the rulers of other worlds. But they have no joy about the rulers of other worlds.

The sounds of debauchery and the dances of the North have to wait until the slave society appeared. In this early primitive society, there was no such thing as the era when even bronzes and agriculture did not develop naturally.

So the uncle is very bored, and the uncle is very looking forward to the travel wizards who come and go to different worlds to bring him a surprise gift.

By the way, Zhang Cheng already knew what his predecessors brought to these princes - he brought "pets".

To put it bluntly, it is the beast card. Zhang Cheng knew before that most beast cards are actually very weak in combat power, and they are basically unable to be the main force of brigade mages, and even as cannon fodder is not qualified. However, because card creatures and card owners have that kind of spiritual link, and wild beasts naturally obey the card owner's characteristics, the creatures in the card can be easily used as pets.

Felines or canines are naturally attractive to humans. Even on Earth, having a tiger as a pet is a very enviable thing, and it can even be used as a symbol of boasting for the rich.

Well, as long as the tiger doesn't attack you, actually stroking big cats can be more interesting than stroking kittens.

On Earth, it was probably during this primitive safari society that dogs began to approach human life. However, this situation did not occur in this world. And even if it appeared, the initial dogs were also hunting helpers, rather than pets that comfort their souls and spend time. Therefore, dogs at this stage have no appearance, and will not be as obedient and gentle as pets. They will have to wait many years and after repeated breeding and selection by humans.

Now (if any) they are still in a state of being wild and difficult to tame and may attack their masters at any time.

As for the cold cats, they will have to wait until a longer time, at least until the agricultural society has fully developed and formed.

So that senior provided these obedient and cute pets, which were directly popular. He became a good consultant to the imperial ruling class, thus gaining their friendship and kindness.

As for mechanical armor, single-person aircraft, etc., it is easy to understand. Every prince can summon these things, and the pets provided by the wizard are monopolized.

This is really a wonderful world. Now Zhang Cheng understands why even his knowledgeable senior uses "wonderful authority" to describe the princes in this world.

What the princes possess is indeed a wonderful and unheard of power. The princes can use their demigod identity to summon various items through rituals. From food to tools, even aircraft carriers can be summoned directly.

Of course, by saying that, Zhang Cheng felt even more that they were beneficiaries of a lost technological civilization - that civilization was probably extinct, but the machines it made were still there. These unfeeling manufacturing machines made things, and for some reason "misunderstood" that the princes were their masters. Then, through some space transmission device, the items were transferred to the prince.

However, the princes have their limits. They are restricted by the "God of God" and can only summon items that are allowed by points. On the other hand, the things they summon are limited. The princes can feel the menu of their summonable items, which may be long, but also limited.

For example, they have never seen silk. It can be seen that this mysterious maker has no ability to make silk.

While thinking about it, Zhang Cheng came to his uncle's bedroom. It was said that it was a bedroom, but in fact it was a large room in an aircraft carrier.

Zhang Cheng estimated that this might be the captain's bedroom, the reception room or even the conference room. The room was large and covered an area of ​​more than 200 square meters.

There are not many people here at this moment. Only the uncle himself and the most trusted subordinates.

The uncle is very bored, so the uncle is very much looking forward to the fact that Master Lu can bring fresh excitement to his boring life. The uncle wants to get two things from Zhang Cheng, one is beautiful and fun toys that can kill time, and the other is something that can be used to show off.

The silk provided by Zhang Cheng is very beautiful, but what the uncle really needs is not silk. What he needs is to show off.

All kinds of things that make him show off.

Of course, this pretentiousness is not only about his own minions, but also about other princes.

Zhang Cheng did not come out this time to conduct a transaction, but just planned to conduct an expedition. But after all, it is very convenient for the wizard to carry items, so Zhang Cheng has always adhered to the principle of bringing things with him and has accumulated a lot of things.

There are no outsiders now, so everyone can sit down and bargain.

In the corner of the bedroom, a summoning magic array, or a sacrifice magic array, has been drawn. Obviously, the uncle does not have the concept of postponing the delivery of the goods first and then delaying the delivery. He only knows how to pay one hand and deliver the goods at the same time.

Zhang Cheng didn't have many beast cards in his hand, because the summoning of beast cards did not require any source cards, so many of them were given to the little girl. However, he happened to have a few leopard cards in his hand now.

Leopards are actually quite embarrassing. Although they are from cats, they are not strong among big cats with extremely strong combat power, and they are slightly insufficient for combat. However, they are too eye-catching for reconnaissance, so they are useless.

Even Zhang Cheng felt that after all, the wolf had the advantage of "group activities" that could make up for the shortcomings of quality with quantity. It would be fine if it really had to be used as cannon fodder. However, the leopard really had no advantage.

But now he knew that this thing was indeed beneficial. Because after he summoned a leopard, pink love bubbles appeared in the uncle's eyes almost immediately.

After a simple summoning method, Zhang Cheng gave the card to the uncle. The uncle summoned the leopard and then started to masturbate the big cat on the spot. As a card creature, what can the leopard do? It also sat down and was masturbated helplessly.

"Okay, I want this!" The uncle's sharp-eyed eyes. "I just saw you have three pictures, give me all three! What do you want in exchange?"

"Uh," Zhang Cheng thought for a while, "I want an aircraft that can be operated directly by people."

Although the remaining memories tell him that the wizard should not have too much curiosity, this matter is indeed very worthy of curiosity. How did these things appear?

The last sacrificial ceremony happened too suddenly, and Zhang Cheng was not prepared at all. But now he specifically reminded Xiao Xiong and Ao Guang that although they limited their observation range in the card, it did not affect the observation ability of these two cross-border domains.

It was similar to what happened during the day. The old man presided over and performed a ceremony that seemed meaningless to Zhang Cheng. At the end of the ceremony, a sense of consciousness came briefly, and then an unknown force led to a brief distortion of space.

Zhang Cheng once again confirmed that this is a power that has nothing to do with magic, or a power that has nothing to do with the usual conceptual magic. Because although the magic net in this world is not strong, Zhang Cheng can feel that it is indeed not activated.

Since the end of the space warp, what appeared in front of Zhang Cheng was a brand new single-person aircraft. Unlike the one Zhang Cheng himself had, this aircraft has a operating rod. It can be controlled by human hands, rather than indirectly controlled by mechanical armor like his.

"What else do you want?" The uncle was still stroking the big cat.

Zhang Cheng went over to check and receive his aircraft, and took the opportunity to hold Ao Guang and Xiao Xiong's cards in his hand.

"Did you see anything?"

"No." Ao Guang and Xiao Xiong could be said to be in unison. "At present, we can only be sure that this is not the effect of magic." There are obvious questions in Ao Guang's spiritual link. "This is probably not the effect of divine power."
