The capital of the Orc Empire is called the "Great Golden Tent". A long time ago, the Orcs at that time were still in a nomadic society. They lived by water and grass and used tents as their residences. At that time, any tribal leader with some status liked to use golden tents to symbolize power and status.
Later, the various orc tribes achieved unification after years of war, and after the unification, relevant laws and regulations on the color and decoration of tents were formulated.
According to the decree, only one pure gold tent is allowed to exist in the entire orc empire, which is exclusively used by the orc emperor; the prince has a tent with a silver roof and gold sides; the duke has a tent with a silver roof and silver gold wire to draw totems; the marquis has a silver roof. A tent with silver edges inlaid with gold wire; a tent with a silver top and gold tassels at the end; a tent made of pure silver; a tent made of pure silver; a tent made of silver totems for the baron.
As for barons and below, they are not even nobles, so how can they be qualified to talk about "etiquette"!
Time has changed, and now the orc emperors no longer live in tents. They settled on a low hill in the hinterland of the prairie and built a city here, continuing to use the name "Golden Tent".
The city is often ridiculed because it doesn't even have walls.
But why do we need a city wall? If the orcs don't hit others, others will be thankful. Who dares to provoke them
Monster? Beast? Orc patrols are scattered around the city, and the farthest ones are even a hundred miles away. What beast or monster can pass through the defense lines of countless patrols and break into the city to wreak havoc
The city of "Big Golden Tent" does not have stone walls, but it uses countless patrols to build living walls.
The most conspicuous thing in this city is the tall building that stands majestically on the high platform in the center of the low hill.
The golden roof is like a tent, clearly the emperor's palace.
Around the palace, there are rows of houses stretching down the slope.
There is a detail here. The residences of the emperor and nobles were not built directly on the ground. Instead, a high platform was built on the ground and then built on the high platform. Commoners are not allowed to build such houses. Even those wealthy businessmen, as long as they do not have noble status, can only build their houses on flat land.
The Orc Empire attaches great importance to "rituals". Different status levels have different foundations for houses. How many levels can there be from the high platform, how high can each level be, what decorative patterns can be used... these are all very particular.
Sui Xiong didn't think highly of this kind of particularity.
He felt that a truly confident country and nation should not take "etiquette" too seriously. Of course, it would not be completely unfettered, but it should definitely not be too particular.
Instead of thinking about how to set rules for subjects at all levels, it is better to think about how to win people's hearts.
The country lies in people and resources, certainly not in etiquette.
Therefore, the Northwest Republic does not pay much attention to etiquette. Of course, it is not that they do not pay attention to etiquette at all, but in today's world, they are definitely the least particular about etiquette.
They have no "imperial garden", no "imperial workshop", and no "imperial style". Except for some necessary measures to ensure safety, there is no essential difference between the lifestyles of officials and civilians in the Northwest Republic.
When Sui Xiong first started doing this, some people advised him not to be so extreme and to respect tradition. However, Sui Xiong rolled his eyes and asked lazily: "Tradition? I don't remember what traditions we jellyfish have..."
These words are obviously strong words, but His Majesty the Mask of the Void is really a jellyfish, and no one can ask a jellyfish to act according to other people's rules.
The Orc Empire is obviously one of those who act according to other people's rules, and they are a bit obsessed. Sui Xiong led his men on the street and saw that there was a wide street in the middle that was probably big enough for two people to walk side by side. The white stone road stretches from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
"This is the famous 'Golden Tent Royal Road', right?" Steele looked at the white stone road curiously, but did not stupidly walk over and touch it. "It is said that unless you get the permission of the orc emperor, otherwise Even nobles are not allowed to set foot on this road."
"That's right." Sui Xiong nodded, "If one foot steps on it, one foot will be chopped off. If both feet step on it, the head will be beheaded. There is no room for accommodation."
"How scary! The Orc Emperor doesn't go out usually, so why does it matter if others are allowed to walk on this road!"
"This is to create a sense of authority and sanctity." Sui Xiong said, "Things that are close at hand are as far away as a chasm, so that the people can clearly understand the gap in rank between them... This technique is quite old. It’s just a set, so-so.”
"Huh? Cliché? Is there any other country that has a 'Royal Way'?" Steele asked curiously.
Sui Xiong smiled and did not explain.
He couldn't say that this technique had been used on Earth more than a thousand years ago, and it was not unusual at all.
The group of people walked on the wide street. There were independent houses on both sides of the street, but they did not see any shops.
In the city of "Daqin Zhang", shops are concentrated in a block called "Merchant Square". No shops are allowed to open anywhere else except this block, and offenders will be punished with death.
The place where Sui Xiong wanted to take his men now was also the Merchant's Square.
He had already studied the terrain of the "Great Golden Tent" and there were about three suitable places to build a guillotine in this city.
The first place is naturally the large square in front of the palace. The place is large and spacious enough to accommodate many spectators.
But this square is not allowed to be entered without reason. Even nobles are not allowed to enter this square without a formal mission or a call from the emperor. Even if he kills there and bleeds like a river, it will be of no use.
The second is the large square in front of the Guards Barracks. It is also large and wide enough, and can also accommodate a large number of spectators.
However, civilians were not allowed to enter that square, and nobles were not restricted. But how many nobles were there in total? What's more, they are hurting others, so why would they come to watch the fun
So the only place he could choose was the last place, the large square of Merchant Square.
This large square is where large-scale fairs are held every mid-month and end-of-month. It is usually empty and of no use, but this time it was just used for events.
In fact, it is much smaller than the other two squares, but it has convenient transportation, is adjacent to civilian residential areas, and does not restrict civilians' access, so it is perfect.
Of course, with Sui Xiong's strength, whether it was the square in front of the palace or the square in front of the imperial guard camp, as long as he wanted to, the Orc Empire could not stop him from calling on civilians to watch the fun. However, Sui Xiong will leave here eventually, and then maybe the Orc Empire will settle accounts with those civilians.
He didn't want to cause such trouble to the civilians, so he might as well just find a place where civilians could come and go freely.
Anyway... the important thing is not the stage, but the actors.
For this "performance", he specially kept some important "actors"!
