[Comprehensive] Mr. Erdao, a human trafficker

Chapter 140 The Beautiful Legend of Sicily

"This is the body you found for yourself?" Hu Erdao said with a strange expression, not hiding his suspicion and surprise.

"Yes." The system said smoothly in Hu Erdao's mind.

Well, that's right, it's still Hu Erdao's spiritual ocean.

reason……

Even Hu Erdao had to admire the genius of the system.

Hu Erdao looked at the yellow bird standing on his shoulder with his head tilted. The bird chirped twice in response to the occasion, and the sound was melodious.

"..."

Is there any difference between this and no?

Didn't it speak in his head at the end?

Oh, maybe there are, at least Hu Erdao has a permanent pet.

but--

...who wants a permanent pet?

He is not the disciplinary committee member of Bingsheng, who has a bird who can sing the school song by his side.

Standing on the streets of chaotic and backward Italy, Hu Erdao fell into deep thinking about the system and his own IQ.

"Hey, you two boys, stop and get your things back!"

Several men ran over from the end of the street, chasing the two young men in front of them.

One blonde, one redhead.

He looked like an adult, and he was very energetic. Turning left and right, he was about to go to the warehouse behind Hu Erdao.

"Hey, you go too, those guys don't show respect." Before hiding in, the red-haired young man didn't forget to say quickly.

Seeing that Hu Erdao didn't react, and G couldn't control that much, he dragged the young man who was blocking the road into the warehouse, covering his mouth with one hand.

It would be terrible if this ungrateful guy was forced by those guys to betray his and Giotto's whereabouts.

"What about people, damn it, those two boys are here to ruin our business again!"

There were messy footsteps approaching the warehouse, and the leading man spat, "I didn't let me find them, it was the two of them on the street last time!"

"Damn it, the military and police finally appeased him, and now these two boys are making trouble again, don't let me catch him!"

After the establishment of the new Italian state, because of the death of Cavour in [-], the state has formed more than one government to fill his vacancy—that is, several prime ministers came to power.

For the order and stability of the new country, the king and parliament are supported by the army and police.

At present, 25% of all public expenditures in the fiscal budget are taken up by the military, and the police are mainly security police, a kind of quasi-military police force, so they are collectively called military police.They are extremely efficient, but have a bad attitude, and often use their power to bully them.

Because of this, even a family organization like theirs has to give way to the military and police. Anyway, they have always only collected "protection fees" from civilians-the military and police have always paid little attention to the poor, and they have given enough money. They will not deliberately use excuses to deal with them.

But even with this income, after such a toss today, let alone civilians, even they will be laughed to death by others!

Can't even catch two troublemakers!

What a... damn meddling kid!

Putting the gun back on his belt resentfully, he heard the distraught voices of several companions: "I can't find it, boss!"

"Have you hid in someone else's house, or should we all--oops!"

The leading man punched the tall and thin man with bad ideas on the shoulder, and said forcefully, "Don't take me with you if you want to kill me, do you know whose territory is around here? When the Boss gets angry, he still wants to take us!" It’s a question! It’s cheap for those two boys, go back!”

"Damn it, I'm going to feed the dogs what I lost today, anyway, there must be some left in the hands of those civilians..."

"But today has taken a lot, they are not..."

The man who was headed glared at him, and the man who spoke shut up embarrassingly.

"It's not enough, then borrow it, grab it, anyway, as long as they know that they can't get it out, they will die!"

"have they gone?"

"Let's go." The blond young man said while bending over to pick the light gap in the dark warehouse.

He was wearing a vest shirt, the material of which was quite good, his brows were stretched open, his facial features were seven points mild and three points sharp, his golden brown eyes were bright, and he exuded a firm aura.

— strangely familiar.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand covering Hu Erdao's mouth loosened his strength, and said in a suppressed voice: "I've already said that it's useless, those guys will do everything possible to make it up, and then what we will do is Does it make no sense?"

He whispered, with dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Our manpower is still too small," the blond young man said, muttering, "This time is really embarrassing."

"I'm sure my uncle will teach me a lesson when I go back."

G and Giotto were originally going to organize the members of the Vongola Guard Group they organized not long ago. On the way, they saw the Pino family extorting money from civilians door-to-door for the fifth time this month. bag and run.

The reason why they ran so far... First, it was because they knew that this was the territory of the "Black Lily" family. This family has a strong armed force, and it is most taboo for other families to come and make trouble.

Second, it is also to lure these blackmailing bastards away, so that innocent civilians will not be hurt when they make trouble.

The lives of civilians in this era are not easy.

Italy is still largely a traditional agricultural society.

Although the country was unified, and the government even promulgated a series of New Deal provisions, this did not change the lives of civilians at all.

Sicily was the bargaining chip that the Savoy family exchanged for Sardinia in 1720.

Prior to this, in the seventeenth century, the northern part of Italy had always been the battlefield and pawns of European countries; while the southern part was controlled by Spain and became the military expenditure of Spain and France... and the natural resources, labor and money of the upper rulers There was even such absurd excuse as a "fruit tax".

At the same time, the various nobles in Italy were drunk and dreamed of death, conspicuous consumption, Medici, Ferroni, Gherardesca and other families-the most obvious proof is the gorgeous and magnificent Baroque buildings that survived. architecture.

The long-term fragmentation has made people in all regions of the country extremely xenophobic, and even once appeared the impression of regional facial makeup characters.

As for the peasants, as the bottom of society, not only the land is occupied by the nobles, but also they do not receive any investment from the nobles in rural infrastructure.

In the north, through intermediaries, the land has appeared in the form of "small farms" and "big farms", which can be regarded as relatively developed agriculture.

In the south, it is in the form of large manors. Landlords obtain income by extensively employing labor to cultivate fields and herd sheep. There is even a notorious form of "oral agreement"-landlords lend seeds at usury, and sell them at a lower price in the harvest season. When it is low, let the farmers repay it.

The famine just 100 years ago exacerbated the plight of farmers, and had to make exile and begging a standard ending for a large number of people.

Until now, in the middle and late nineteenth century, the sad state of this farmer has not changed.

Although the industrial wave sweeping from the United Kingdom led to the emergence of some factories in the city-although Italy did not start the industrial revolution, most of the existing industries were distributed in the north, and the construction of public facilities funded by exorbitant taxes failed to become The expected "growth momentum" of the economy.

The south, which is dominated by agriculture, is characterized by the ignorance and poverty of the farmers; the landlords are not in the territory all the year round, and the exploitation of the farmers is extremely cruel; the agricultural investment has been lacking for a long time, which is particularly prominent compared with the northern market.

It was even more miserable in comparison.

Whether it is nobles or military police, landlords or businessmen, they are not objects that civilians can resist.

The elite of the New Kingdom - the privileged class in Italy, who owned most of the country's resources - had no interest in the common people below.

Land management, national taxation...they only care about their own interests.

"While we welcome Garibaldi, we do not intend to get to know him."

This is the attitude of the people of the original Kingdom of Two Sicilies.

They are equally wary—or rather, wary—of rulers from the north.

And the peasants who were abandoned by Garibaldi were even less angry.

Garibaldi stood with them when the uprising needed them, because the landowners and nobles would not help him fight, but when Garibaldi, the guerrilla leader, needed their support, he sided with the landowners.

Due to various reasons, throughout the 19th century, peasant uprisings occurred almost continuously in the south. At the end of the [-]th century, the behavior of "Robin Hood" rose again, and robbery became a very rampant social phenomenon.

This is especially true for gang families with armed forces in cities like Pino.

Italy's indigenous armed forces have a long history.Because of the long-term oppression by foreign countries, many congenital or acquired big families have established their own armed forces for self-defense and resistance.

In Palermo, one of the 59 provincial capitals divided after the establishment of the country, the ancient city of Sicily with a history of more than 2000 years, is also a top-ranked port city, and is one of the most developed areas of the island - even "one" can be removed.

It has also contributed to the relatively superior economic status of the region in the southern region.

The author has something to say: the Savoy family is the family of King Vittorio Emanuele II.

Commonly called the Savoy dynasty.The full name is the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia.

The time point is probably around 1866.It was the middle and late stages of the "Third War" in which Italy intervened in the Austrian-Prussian War—the war in which Germany was completely unified.
