Gold is Justice

Meng Lang nodded slightly and said, "Oh~~~Yes, what's the matter with you?" Connor had a smile on his face, glanced at Ariel next to him, and said with a smile: "Here, first of all, I would like to congratulate you His Royal Highness the Second Prince has such a beautiful fiancée, such a smart and charming mistress. Besides, after listening to what you said just now, I would like to add some unsuggestive suggestions."

Meng Lang: "You said?"

Connor nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "With the status of the royal family of His Highness the Second Prince, even his mistress must have a noble status. Since Ms. Garcia is no longer a lowly family, it is better to be replaced by His Highness." Your Majesty, how about granting Ms. Garcia a noble title of baron? In this way, His Highness the Second Prince will not take a commoner girl out and cause gossip. Only when Ms. Garcia has the status of a nobleman can she be able to There is such a small qualification to become the mistress of the royal family."

Having said that, Connor didn't wait for the other people around him to object, but quickly said——

"But in this way, the mistress has the title of nobility, but the wife has no title. Isn't it ridiculous? Therefore, I also suggest here that the prospective imperial concubine should also be given a nobility status. It is impossible for her title to be the same as her status as a concubine. Ms. Garcia is the same as the mistress, and she cannot overstep her father's status. Therefore, you can choose one of the three princes, son, uncle, and marquis, and give it to our future second imperial concubine."

Duke Jin Guo, who originally wanted to express some dissent, shut his mouth immediately after hearing these words, and just smiled.

After thinking about it for a while, Chao Chao turned his head to look at the imperial brother next to him. After thinking for a while, the crown prince also said: "That's true, my wife has also inherited her father's baronship, there is no reason for my brother to The status of a woman is mediocre. Tidal, Jin Guo, if you both agree, then I will bestow the noble status of Baron Ariel and the status of Earl Alice, what do you think?"

It's just an identity, and it's an identity that has no real power at all and is just an honorary identity. Of course, there will be no problem for Chao Chao and Jin Guo.

At that moment, Menglang nodded slowly, walked out of his desk, picked up his saber, walked up to Ariel with a smile, and said, "Ariel, from today onwards, I will remove your low status and restore your status." Civilian status. At the same time, in view of your wonderful deeds in the past three years, I now replace my father, the respected Beslan XII, and bestow on you the title of baron."

Ariel immediately knelt in front of the violent waves, while the crown prince drew out his sword, tapped Ariel's shoulders and the top of her head lightly, and said with a smile——

"Congratulations, Ariel. I am afraid that you are the only one in this world who can reach the status of nobleman as a maid."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Ariel stood up slowly, the smile on her face was still like a flower, "From now on, I will pay more attention to serving His Highness the Second Prince and His Highness the Queen Concubine, and I will never dare to disobey you. I only hope that His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Queen Concubine will be able to love each other until they grow old, this will be the greatest happiness in my life, Ariel Garcia."

"good very good!"

Meng Lang put away his sword, and returned to his seat amidst applause from Connor beside him who was quietly wiping the corners of his eyes.

And Ariel, who has won the title of nobility, now took a step slowly, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Second Prince, it's getting late, but I still want to ask, about The matter of the strange car cast by the elemental machine, and the progress of all the subsequent developments of the elemental machine. I don't know what your highness... thinks?"

Finally... let's talk about this question.

Even though Ariel knew that her so-called Baron status was just a decoration, what she needed to do was still the kind of job of serving and taking care of the eldest lady and the second prince.But seeing that the sun outside the window was getting westward, if she didn't finish this matter here today, she was really afraid that she would never have this opportunity to talk about it again.

Obviously, Meng Lang behind the desk was slightly taken aback by Ariel's proposal, and then he pinched his chin and began to think.

"Well, Ariel, I agree with you. I'm afraid we really need to discuss your car now... Also, what do you call your car? Elemental machine?"

Ariel nodded slightly, but just as she was about to speak...

TA-TA-TA-

There was another soft knock on the door.

Immediately, a soldier's voice came: "Your Highness, the High Priest and the Great Elder seek to see you."

After thinking for a while, Meng Lang glanced at Ariel, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let them in."



Chapter 32 The Second Round of Argument

As Meng Lang's voice fell, the door of the office slowly opened.And the high priest of the Holy See and the elder of the Magic Association walked in together, shoulder to shoulder.

For the two people who came in, Ariel frowned immediately.

But when she was trying to think about how to deal with the situation in front of her...

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, Teacher Connor over there suddenly coughed violently.

Ariel turned her head, and saw that the moment the teacher's eyes met hers, she immediately glanced at the second prince over there, and then coughed again.

Of course Ariel is not stupid, after this simple eye contact, she immediately understood what she should do now.At that moment, when the First Elder and the High Priest walked in, she took advantage of the trend and walked around the office for a small half, and finally walked behind Chao Chao calmly and stood firmly.

"you……?"

Chao Chao was a little surprised that Ariel was now standing behind him, but when he turned his head to look at the mistress, he saw this beautiful mistress showing a gentle and caring expression.At the same time, she bowed slightly to her husband, expressing her loyalty.

Seeing this, Chao Chao shut up and stopped talking.

"Your Highness, I don't know if we have disturbed His Highness this time."

The great elder who is the great magician of the association spoke first, and after saluting slowly towards the fierce waves, he said——

"However, I have discussed with the high priest of the Holy See for a long time about the strange car, and I still feel that there are some things that need to be carefully considered."

Seeing these two people coming in, Meng Lang couldn't help frowning.But he still controlled his facial expressions very well, and said: "Elder Magik, High Priest Priest, please sit down."

After the two old men took their seats, their eyes coincidentally looked at Ariel who was behind Tide, and this girl who was still wearing a maid skirt looked at this with a smile as if nothing had happened. The two of them didn't have the slightest expression of wanting to confront each other.

Seeing this, the next line of sight of these two old men was immediately projected on the second prince of Chao Chao.

After Chao Tide suddenly met the eyes of the Great Elder and High Priest, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. Ariel's thigh twisted.

Ariel was in pain, but she still tried her best to keep a smile on her face and said nothing.

"Elder Magjik, Priest Priest, don't you...do you still want to oppose that carriage? If you still object, it would be too ugly...haha."

A smile appeared on Meng Lang's face, but there was already a little sullenness in his eyes.

After all, in the match just now, the outcome was so obvious.Moreover, the three elders who theoretically possess the strongest magic power of the Magic Association were the ones who cast magic on the convoy of the royal carriage. In this case, after losing in this situation, they still want to find a place in other ways, which is really ugly.

Of course, Elder Magjik understood the meaning of Menglang’s words now. He nodded slightly and said, “Your Highness, if it’s about the race just now, although I don’t want to admit it, that strange car does have something peculiar. But this This kind of place is not something magic can't catch up with. As long as time passes, I believe our association can also research magic that can drag such a heavy object in one go."

Meng Lang nodded, and said with that smiley expression, "Oh? Then I can look forward to it. Then Elder Majike, do you have any other questions?"

"Your Highness, hehe... Although from the perspective of magic, the Magic Association can be regarded as a complete loser today."

It was the High Priest Priest who spoke now.Compared with Elder Magjik's full-bodied speech, the smile on the high priest's face was much gentler.He glanced at the tide over there, and said slowly——

"No matter how the carriage was developed, it must now belong to the Blue Bay royal family's property. For His Highness to develop such a carriage, of course, the Holy See of Guangming agrees with both hands. It's just..."

After a slight pause, Priest chuckled and continued——

"I just don't know, how does His Highness plan to use this carriage?"

"how to use?"

Regarding this, after thinking for a while, Menglang turned his head to look at Ariel standing over there, and said, "This carriage is indeed powerful enough to pull a lot of things. Baroness Garcia, you Do you think there is any place that can be fully utilized?"

When they heard the title of Baroness Garcia, the two old men, Majik and Priest, were taken aback for a moment, but immediately calmed down.

Ariel smiled slightly, lowered her head, and looked at the tide in front of her with beseeching eyes.

After Chao Chao snorted and nodded slightly, she said, "Reporting to Your Highness, it can be used in a wide range. Since this carriage has such a strong power, at least it can be used to pull goods. Originally, ten carriages were needed to pull it." The goods, now a horse-drawn carriage can be reached. And the transportation of goods, presumably will be an extremely favorable thing for the trade within the empire. By then, the domestic trade of goods will become more prosperous, Your Majesty's treasury may also be enriched by taxes."

After listening to Ariel's introduction, Meng Lang nodded, smiled, turned to High Priest Priest, and said, "So now, do you have any questions?" But for Ariel's answer, the high priest was hehe He smiled, showing a very regretful expression, and said: "Your Highness, it is really a pity, a very pity. If it is really used according to the suggestion of Baroness Garcia, then in the foreseeable future , not only cannot improve our country's economic strength, but may lead to riots... Maybe it is."

Meng Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, and at this moment, the Duke of Jin Guo over there also smiled and asked: "Riot? What are you wearing?"

Priest nodded, with no expression of nervousness or flinching on his face.He slightly adjusted his sitting posture on the sofa, and said with a smile——

"Your Highness, think about it carefully. If you really use this kind of strange car to improve trade according to what Baroness Garcia said, then... what do we need to do next?"

Meng Lang didn't have any idea about this kind of thing, so he turned his head and looked at Ariel over there.

After exhaling a little, Ariel said with a smile: "Next, I need to buy a lot of materials to make more (harmonious) carriages. Then sell them to all chambers of commerce that need carriages for trade."

In this regard, the Majik archmage immediately slapped his legs, then pointed at Ariel over there with two fingers, and said, "Your Highness, this is here, this is here! This is the crux of the problem!"

Meng Lang still didn't quite understand, and still frowned: "What's the problem here...?"

Majik snorted and said, "Your Highness, if you really follow the maid...the baroness's words, then think about it, the goods that originally required ten carriages to transport now only need one carriage." .At first glance, it seems that the efficiency has been improved. But in this way, Your Highness, think about the drivers of the other nine carriages!"

"In this way, if one person can do the work that ten people could do, wouldn't the other nine be unemployed? Your Highness, I have collected some data here, please take a look."

As he said that, Majik raised his finger and drew a circle in front of him, and some fiery red clouds formed in front of him, and then floated in front of the fierce waves, tides, and golden fruits.

Ariel also leaned her head, watching the red clouds in front of the tide gradually gather together, and finally formed a table.There are rows of numbers on it, which seem to be explaining something.

Meng Lang: "Elder Magjik, this is?"

The archmage snorted and continued: "Your Highness, this is the specific data collected by our association about the staff involved in the carriage."

"I believe His Highness also knows that in addition to operating some magical things, our Magic Association also operates some non-magical institutions. Among them, we are also involved in the business of horse breeding, leasing, selling, and slaughtering. And because we are involved in this aspect of work, we can roughly calculate the number of coachmen by collecting other chambers of commerce that buy horses.”

"Please look, Your Highness. The first row of data is the number of coachmen in Hanhai City according to statistics from the year before last. Hanhai City is our capital, and it is also a big city with a population close to one million. The number of carriages is about 3000. "

"These more than 3000 carriages are not simply occupied by one person. A considerable part of the carriages are jointly operated by several carriage drivers. These carriage drivers drive the carriages around the clock in order to earn a little money. If calculated in this way, there are at least [-] people engaged in the industry of carriage drivers."

"According to Baroness Garcia, if all these carriages were replaced with that terrible and strange strange carriage overnight, then among the more than 5000 coachmen, more than 500 coachmen would be lost in an instant. In our city, there will be more than 500 homeless people without income.”



Chapter 33 The Tsunami Against the Era

Meng Lang, who seemed very calm just now, suddenly froze his expression.

And this time...

"Isn't that right? Your Excellency the Great Elder Magjik. If you really calculate according to the population in the city, there are not so many goods to be transported in the city, so most of the carriages are transporting people. In this case, There is simply no way that a large number of coachmen will lose their jobs."

Now, in this room, the only person who can have a tit-for-tat dialogue with the archmage, Ariel knows that is herself.

The reason why the archmage wanted to organize the strange cars was very simple. He himself said that the Magic Association has great business interests in horses, so of course he would not let those strange cars really play.

So... It's really a coincidence that Ariel also has absolute interests in those strange cars.Therefore, even though she knew that her status was really low, she still had to speak up at this moment.

However, the archmage seemed to have anticipated what Ariel would say, snorted, and continued: "Even if there are not as many as 500 people, there are at least half of them. Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, You may not be able to fully understand what kind of concept it is for a city to suddenly have thousands of unemployed people in one breath? Yes, this kind of esoteric knowledge, as a female Baroness Garcia, is probably very difficult. It's hard to understand how hard it is for men to work outside."

This is a personal attack, right?This is directly a personal attack!

Ariel was about to speak just now, but the archmage spoke again——

"Your Highness, what I just said was only the situation in our Hanhai City. Indeed, as Baroness Garcia said, there are still a lot of carriages transporting people inside the city. However, leaving the city, for several cities What about the delivery of the goods?"

"Your Excellency the Baroness said just now that this will speed up the circulation of goods. But this circulation is at the cost of creating more unemployed people."

"I believe His Highness has seen it just now? That strange cart can drag so many carriages forward, and it even seems to have room to spare. If you count the trade between cities, this will also cause even more terrible things." disaster."

"Your Highness, the number on the second line is the total amount of horse-drawn carriages transported between Hanhai City and Fengtan City the year before last. Fengtan City is also a city that has a lot of trade with Hanhai City. As you can see, the year before last There are about 1 vehicles coming and going throughout the year."

"Let's count 8000% of it as being used to transport passengers, then there are almost [-] more train trips used to transport various goods."

"If the delivery volume of that strange car is really followed, the delivery volume of these 8000 vehicles will be reduced to only more than 800 in an instant."

"According to the current market price, if a carriage driver transports a carriage of goods to Fengtan City, if there are no empty carriages in one round trip, he can probably earn two silver coins. He can transport more than twenty round trips a year. If you do that, you can earn five gold coins. If you subtract the money used to raise horses and maintain carriages, and then remove the money and taxes turned over to the chamber of commerce, the money is probably just enough to support a family."

"But now, these more than 8000 train trips have become more than 800 in an instant. That is to say, a driver could have transported more than [-] times to earn five gold coins, but now it is enough to transport only twice a year." Well, in this way, you can only earn less than five silver coins! I won’t mention those coachmen who are forced to have no work here. It is these working coachmen who only earn five silver coins a year? These The money is not enough to feed my family!"
