Gold is Justice

After all, more than one person has asked him this question. "President Dak, let's change the connotation of the question a little bit. If you are extremely hungry and have your companions by your side, can you guarantee that you will not kill your companions and eat their meat? ? If you firmly believe that you will not, can you guarantee that other humans will not do it?"

Arrow has said this set of answers many times, so he is very skilled.

As a matter of course, for such a rhetorical question, Dak also fell into a situation where he couldn't answer for a while.

After all, everyone has heard the rumors of vampires eating people.

There are also many survival stories about eating companions in order to avoid starvation on the snow-capped mountains.

Chapter 850 Land Issues

Dak's eyes were fixed on Airl for a long, long time.

After about 10 minutes, he turned his head and looked at Cheese, who was yawning and snoring directly against the tree trunk, and looked carefully for a while again.

Afterwards, he lowered his head, as if he was thinking about the logic in it.After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out, and nodded slightly——

"It's a very interesting question, but I may not be able to answer it. I may need to check some books to see if there is a suitable explanation."

The appearance of this pair of scholars came out~~~!

Sure enough, compared to the way he killed a slime with a stick just now, Airl still prefers his current appearance as a scholar!

Airl clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, long live the understanding! This guy is really a brainless guy. Let me tell you quietly! He is still entangled with a human man, and he wants to die for him all day long." To live, I almost took out my heart and dedicated it to the other party. Do you think this guy is interesting?"

"This?" Obviously, Duck couldn't understand, he glanced over there again, and Cheese was already lying on the ground and fast asleep, "Really? The hobby of vampires...is really hard to understand what……"

Seeing that the topic of conversation between the two parties has become much easier, Airl immediately began to cut into the topic——

"What about you? Vampires have strange hobbies, but I don't think you're bad. What's the reason for coming here alone to find Lan Yuanfang without so many helpers from your own guild?"

Hearing that the topic finally got to the point, Dak obviously hesitated for a moment.

However, perhaps because the current atmosphere of the conversation made him feel very relaxed, the chairman finally exhaled slowly and said, "I... ran out secretly."

Airl nodded: "I can tell. People from your guild came to us to look for you yesterday. Maybe it's because we think our guild is closer to you."

"They came to you? Then... I'm really sorry, I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble."

Dak gently stroked his arm, checking if there was any obvious wound where he was stung.After confirming that his skin was not damaged in any way, he exhaled slightly and continued to say——

"My father locked me up, but since the Hand of Heaven has already participated in the guild championship battle, I have no reason to stay in the safe area to cheer them up. So, I sneaked out... Well, I guess when I go back You're going to be locked up again."

When Dak sighed, Airo clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing. You sneaked into this forest by yourself, bypassing the attention of so many adventurers. And you and Blue just now When Yuan Fang was fighting, he deliberately suppressed his strength, and he didn't want others to see it? Even so, you were able to retreat unscathed! This is really powerful!"

Being praised by Airl one after another, Dak's face turned slightly red.He nodded a little shyly, without denying it.

This point is a bit similar to Brad next to him, and he feels a little silly.

"Speaking of which, I also saw a very strange person looking for you."

With a smile on his face, Airl said cheerfully——

"There is a lady who looks kind, connotative and unique. I can see that this lady seems to care about you. Can I ask who he is? Could it be... yes One of your suitors?"

Hearing these adjectives from Airl at the beginning, Duck's face was obviously a little uncertain.He frowned, as if he was trying to think about who is such a person with connotation, kindness, and unique style?

On the other hand, Cream, who was next to him, laughed and said, "Our president is really good at complimenting people. President Duck, don't mind if I tell the truth, that woman is really ugly... and The attitude is very fierce, and she looks like the whole world is going to revolve around her all day long. To be honest, I really don't understand why people in your guild are so anxious to protect her and accommodate her. That's a certain Is it the daughter of a great nobleman?"

Having said that, Dak seemed to finally understand who it was.He froze for a moment, and said, "She...is here too?"

Arrow: "Who is she?"

Dak realized that he had said something wrong, quickly shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just the daughter of a minor noble... There are quite a lot of daughters of such minor nobles, and she is quite a tough character. Alright, let’s not talk about her! It’s the members of the Blue Distant Guild...President Arrow, are you sure they haven’t come back?”

Airl nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, at least it should be fine for a short time. Hey, speaking of it, you haven't said why you are dealing with the blue distance? Is there anything you need to do?" Shall we help?"

After such a series of conversations, Dak's mood is much more relaxed now.He let out a breath, looked at the people in front of him, thought for a while, and finally said: "This matter... is actually my own decision. President Airl, if you want to get involved, I don't care. But you are still a small guild after all, are you sure you want to get involved in this?"

Airl shrugged his shoulders and continued: "I don't care, we are friends, and of course friends should help each other if there is any problem!"

Seeing that Airl is so resolute now, Dak no longer hides, opened his mouth, and said slowly——

"Actually...the land in the poor village no longer belongs to them."

Arrow had imagined many kinds of opening lines, maybe because of justice, or because of sympathy, or simply want to hit the blue distance.But he never expected that Dak would use such a reason as the beginning of his actions.

"Three years ago, our country experienced a poor harvest. Many small villages couldn't survive, and finally mortgaged their land in exchange for food, trying to survive. It was also from that time that many Small villages have actually lost their own land. Among them, poor villages are naturally included.”

"However, the situation in poor villages is somewhat complicated."

"This village did borrow a lot of usury to buy food, but the problem is that they didn't just borrow a sum."

"According to the information I got here, the poor village has borrowed at least three loans. One is a loan from the Hilton Bank, one is a loan from a certain big landowner, and the other is a loan from a business under the name of the Royal Herbal Laboratory. Loans borrowed by institutions.”

"The amounts of these three loans are very large, and they cannot be repaid by a small village like them. So at that time, everyone who borrowed money from them probably felt that the land must be requisitioned by then. .”

"However, after the disaster year passed, the problem finally broke out. All three families found that the village had obtained financing from several financial institutions. Any party who wants to swallow the village's land alone will definitely encounter the other two, or even more objections from financial institutions.”

"Unbeknownst to these villagers, this kind of tug-of-war has actually been going on for more than two years. Until now, it seems that Hilton Bank finally can't wait any longer."

Hearing this, Airl nodded lightly, and said, "So that's the case, so, that's why you intercepted the blue distance?"

Dak nodded with a smile, and said, "Basically. However, there are still some details."

"Because the IOU signed by the Hilton Bank behind the blue distance is a money IOU. In other words, they are not qualified to directly ask for land dignitaries. In other words, as long as the other two are willing to pay the funds, they can Just kick Hilton Bank out."

"But the question is, who will pay the debt? The IOU said that the interest alone will cost 50 gold a year, and now the principal with interest has reached 150 gold. Who is willing to pay such a large sum of money to buy this land?

"If there are only Hilton Bank and other parties in this land merger case, it's fine. At least the problem can be solved if the money is paid. But even if the money is paid now, it means that only one company must be driven out, and the other party must be involved." In this way, the party that pays more may end up paying but getting nothing.”

"Similarly, Hilton Bank also knows that its weakness lies in the IOU, so when the other two got the news that Hilton Bank intends to directly convert the money IOU."

Hearing this, Airl generally understood the cause and effect of this incident.But he didn't speak, but watched the beautiful man silently and continued.

"Of course it is impossible for the other two to allow Hilton Bank to achieve this goal. Therefore, they immediately entrusted us to the Light of Heaven, hoping that we can stop this matter. If possible, it is best to take back all the land deeds."

At this point, Dak exhaled a little, and after a little slowing down, he continued to say——

"Originally, this matter should have been intervened by the Light of Heaven. But later we got news that the Abyss Guild did not seem to intend to directly intervene in this matter. When the Hilton Bank was entrusted to Abyss, the Abyss Guild has never shown any signs of doing anything. .”

"This situation makes Heaven's Light feel very surprised. No matter how strict the members of the Abyss Guild are, and no matter how many people are sent to spy on the poor village, they have not seen any signs of their actions."

"Under such circumstances, the guild championship battle is about to begin. It just so happens that the third task is to come to this area to destroy bandits. Therefore, the light of heaven simply handed over this task to the hands of heaven, hoping that we can Take the first step and get those land deeds first."

"And these tasks should have been taken care of by other members of our guild. But..."

Chapter 850 The second is still an economic issue

Duck lowered his head slightly, and after a short pause, he exhaled again, and said slowly——

"However, I think it might be more suitable for me to take on this task. Therefore, I still took this task and came here alone. But I didn't expect that in order to avoid you all, I was a little late... ..." All the "stories" have come to an end here.Cream next to him obviously felt that something was wrong with this "story", he opened his mouth, just about to speak—

"Ah, that's how it is. Before, President Dak was absent due to illness, so everyone would not have noticed that you, the Hand of Heaven, have such a hidden trump card as you. It is really good that this task is carried out by you. ~~~"

However, before Cream opened his mouth, the president of his own family immediately expressed his trust in this "story".Not only trust, but even added a little rational inference.

Seeing what Airl said, Cream of course had nothing to say, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Duck, on the other hand, looked a little nervous, but seeing Airl's expression of complete confidence in himself now, and his face full of smiles, he also involuntarily relaxed a little, and nodded slightly.

"How do you feel now? Is the body still able to move freely?"

Airl took a bite of the dry food in his hand, and said in a very relaxed tone——

"Also, our guild's dry food may not be as delicious as yours, but you're not giving me face if you don't even taste it?"

Dak was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the piece of dry food he was still holding in his hand. He quickly stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. Some debris fell, and he quickly covered his mouth.After chewing and swallowing everything, he nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Thank you, President Airl, physically... I feel much better, and there is no pain. Besides, your dry food is not that difficult. It tastes much better than the dry food made by our guild cooks."

As he said that, he took another bite, nodded and smiled repeatedly: "Crispy but not loose, sweet but not greasy, salty but not oily. At first I thought that this kind of dry food would make people thirsty easily, but now it tastes, I don't feel thirsty at all. I really envy you for recruiting such an excellent cook."

Ke Ke's nose was raised to the sky in an instant, and when this silly girl put her hands on her hips, just as she was about to say something, Ai Luo suddenly said: "The peasants in those poor villages will change from self-cultivation farmers to farmers. Hired farmer."

His voice is very natural, but there is a bit of determination and sensitivity in the nature.

This kind of serious voice sounded a little uncomfortable to Dak, after all, from before to now, the President Arrow he knew always had a smiling face, and he hadn't taken it so seriously.

But now, when he looked at Airl, his face was full of doubts.

"President Duck, do you know what will happen when the owner farmers become farm laborers?"

A slightly puzzled expression appeared on Dak's face. He thought for a while, shook his head lightly, and said, "I don't know... What are you talking about? What are you farmers? What are laborers? What does this all mean? If you're asking me about scholastic knowledge, I'm probably a little ignorant..."

Puzzled was written on Dak's face, and most of the other guild members also didn't understand.

At this point, the serious expression on Airl's face was still not lifted, but after a little thought, he continued to use this serious attitude and said: "The owner farmers, that is, they own their own land, and the annual harvest is completely dependent on their own. Labor. Those who work more will get more, those who work less will get less, and those who don’t work will get nothing. Except that they only need to provide a small part of the food they harvest each year, the rest are all their own. They can use the food for Selling, the money obtained from selling can buy other things, so as to improve their lives. In other words, their fate can be completely in their own hands.”

"But now they have become farm laborers. The land under their feet no longer belongs to themselves, but to the great landowners who are about to acquire these titles. From now on, all their labor will no longer be for themselves, but for It is for these big landlords to work. Because they can continue to work here because they are "hired". In other words, the amount of remuneration they can only get depends on how much the future landlords of these lands are willing to give them. Money. It’s okay if the landlord’s conscience finds that he is willing to give a little more, but the most fearful thing is that from the beginning, he only needs to pay one-tenth of the grain, and in the end he may not even be able to keep one-tenth of the grain.”

"And this kind of situation completely depends on whether the future owners of these land titles are 'great good people', which is their current status as so-called farm laborers."

Airl's voice ended, his tone was flat and firm, but there was nothing that could make people sound comfortable or happy.

He didn't smile.

That kind of signature smile that always hangs on his face, but now there is not even the last bit left.

Facing Airl's insipidity, all the surrounding guild members fell silent.After a long time, Margot finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Old farmers also depend on the weather, right? If there is a bad harvest..."

"As the president of Song of the Mermaid, if the business of Song of the Mermaid is successful, I will give you one-tenth of the mission income as a bonus and salary. This amount is definitely lower than other guilds, because other guilds should Quite a few of them are one-fifth. And if it’s completely your own guild like President Dake, I’m afraid it won’t be a problem to get more than half.”

"However, if the business of Song of the Mermaid is bad, I will not give any money to my guild members. Even if you are so important to me, I also know that I must treat you better and give more money. You have a little bonus. But I am a person with capital. I am born to hate the loss of money in my hands for no reason. I hate that my money will not bring any benefits when it is constantly decreasing. Open your eyes every morning , When I think that there will be a lot of fixed operating costs to be consumed today, I will feel a sense of irritability for no reason."

"Do you think I'm a nice guy? Well, I think I'm a nice guy too."

"But even a good person like me, I can't control my thoughts of not giving you money and letting you fend for yourself when business is bad. Do you think that the chances of praying for these farm laborers to meet a good person in the end, How many will there be?"

Airl's words were really cold.

But even after hearing such cold words, Cream and the others felt that these words were not meant for themselves, but more like they were meant for Dak Guangzhongguang in front of them.

Accompanied by Airl's words, a little confusion appeared on Dak's face.He frowned, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head lightly and said, "These things... I haven't thought about it... I haven't learned it in books..."

Airl was not angry, and continued to use that kind of cold and calm words: "Of course you will not learn it, because these things are not written in the book, but enlightened by my teacher, and then I think about it. in conclusion."

At this point, the sadness on Dak's face became more intense. He shook his head slightly, his beautiful eyes were full of uneasiness: "That is to say, you guessed it yourself? These are only your own. Guess, right? And... even though you said so much, these farmers did borrow so much money. And those big landowners, big financial institutions, did they really lend money to them? Debts Isn't it natural to pay back the money? President Arrow, what do you want to say?"

what you want to say?

Airl himself didn't quite know what he wanted to say.
