Gold is Justice

The great mage seemed to be in the mood for talking. Seeing that Ariel on the opposite side looked a little ugly now, as if she wanted to refute immediately, he immediately quickened his pace and continued to say——

"Your Highness, although the current problem is very serious. But there are more serious things, I'm afraid you haven't realized it yet."

Now, Meng Lang's brows have also frowned.Holding his forehead, he frowned immediately after hearing this and said, "Is there something more serious?"

Majik nodded and continued——

"Please look at the following lines of data. It is the various horse farms we operate."

"These horse farms are responsible for raising horses, breeding horses, and selling horses for the empire. A considerable part of the horses in these horse farms are used to provide carriages, and some are war horses that need to be provided to the army. Of course, there are still a small number of them. They are horses that are sold to nobles for entertainment. Of course, our Magic Association cannot have information on all the horse farms in the empire, but I dare to say here that if His Highness really wants to let that kind of strange car go on the road, then including Including the horse farms of the association, the major horse farms in other empires will also close down immediately."

"Your Highness, this is what our association can calculate based on our racecourses. There are probably countless people who went bankrupt due to indirect reasons that cannot be counted."

"This is only a problem of our association. What kind of problems will the horse farms in other empires cause? This is really hard to estimate."

"Maliu City, Juyuan City, and Parrot Town are all cities that grew up by raising horses for our empire. Their core economic content is horse breeding, and all other non-horse farm jobs in these three towns are also Supporting facilities built around the racecourse."

"If this kind of strange car is really put into production in large quantities, a large number of horse farms will go bankrupt because they cannot sell the horses. The workers who raise the horses, the veterinarians who check the health of the horses, the craftsmen who make saddles and bridles, and the horseshoes blacksmiths, horse-washing helpers, etc., there will be no less than [-] people unemployed at that time! And the three towns I mentioned above will lose their meaning of existence in an instant, and the horses they have accumulated And other related services will instantly become negative assets! Even if the local lords will not riot, what about the farmers and horse workers in the territory? When they have no money to eat, no money to buy clothes, or even no money to support their families, one after another A riot is definitely not alarmist talk! Of course, His Highness may think that this is the worst situation. But I haven't said anything worse yet!"

Meng Lang has closed his eyes now, kept touching his forehead, and said, "Is there anything else? What could be worse?"

After Majik took a deep breath, he said slowly: "This will lead to the end that the most elite knights in our empire will all be reduced to infantry because they don't have horses, and then they will be completely crushed by the enemy's cavalry. "

At that moment, Ariel obviously felt Menglang's body tremble slightly.No, not only the crown prince, but even the Duke of Jinguo who was always listening out of curiosity, the smile on his face has disappeared now.

With a snap, Duke Jin Guo got up, grabbed Magjik's wrist, and said seriously: "What do you mean? The cavalry under my command...will there be no mounts to ride?!"

The author has something to say: I found a good website, all serialized here: Lanwen.com (LANWENS.COM)

As an archmage, Majik doesn't seem to like his wrist being touched by other people very much.But when facing the Duke of Jinguo, he did not break free immediately, but nodded and said: "If the horse farm closes down due to poor management, of course the empire's war horses will not be available. And I also I know that all the war horses of the imperial knights need to be picked out of a hundred. So even if those horse farms persist in order to supply the imperial cavalry, the scale of raising horses will be very small. Even if it is the best result, there may be more cavalry than horses The situation. Your Excellency the Duke should be able to understand this point after a little thought, and I don’t need to elaborate.”

In an instant, Duke Jin Guo's mood has changed.

Ariel could see very clearly that the duke's eyes on her were no longer filled with "playful" mentality, but a kind of vigilance, and even more so... a feeling of disgust.

It seems that Grand Master Majik has come to the end of his words here, and he does not need to let the Duke of Jinguo express his position directly, but turned to the fierce waves, and continued: "Your Highness, even if the so-called promotion of trade in the mouth of Baroness Garcia It can be achieved at the cost of increasing a large number of unemployed people, causing a large number of horse farms to go bankrupt, and even endangering the imperial cavalry without horses to ride."

"So, as the elder of the Magic Association, I am not opposed to strange cars because I am opposed to this novel power. If Your Highness is willing to use this strange car as a toy for the royal family, and not to mass-produce it Of course, there will be no problem if it is produced and distributed among the people. Not only will there be no problem, but our Magic Association will fully support Baroness Garcia and make that strange car a unique mount for His Highness!"

"However, if His Highness wants to fully open up that weird thing for use, he may suffer a huge disaster. Therefore, Your Highness, please think twice."

So far, the Great Elder of the Magic Association has finished all his words.

Behind the desk, Meng Lang shook his head and sighed, clutching his forehead.

For Ariel, she is already full of anger now!She wants to talk, wants to throw these data directly in the face of the archmage!

Yes, these figures may indeed be true.Moreover, the mass issuance of devil dragon carriages may indeed cause a large number of staff who were originally related to carriages to lose their jobs, but this is not a problem that can be solved!

In order to avoid new problems, the possible power is stored for use, which is simply a waste of food because of choking!What's more, these problems are not unsolvable. The manufacturing process of the devil dragon car itself can create a large number of jobs, and the increase in trade will inevitably lead to economic growth, so that the economy of the entire society will become more active, and its radiation Effects can also form more jobs!

Chapter 34 You are the job of destroying countless people!

For example, if a rich person has a lot of money in his hands, he probably won't just save the money, but wants to make more profits from another aspect.Therefore, this rich person will invest funds in a new field for production activities, which invisibly leads to a higher level of employment.

But, just when Ariel wanted to speak...

"Cough! Cough cough...drink...cough!"

Connor Conservative, who had been listening by the side, coughed violently again.

Chao Chao looked at Connor and said, "Mr. Connor, it's very cold in winter. If you don't feel well, you should go back and rest first."

Connor covered his mouth, smiled, waved his hands, and said, "It's okay, I just choked on it when I was eating in the courtyard, I'm fine."

As he spoke, Connor folded his hands on his chest and continued to sit here in an outsider's posture.

Seeing the teacher's calmness, after deliberating the words in Ariel's mind for a while, she still didn't utter them directly.

After two or three breaths, she also slowly adjusted her facial expression, and once again faced everyone present with that gentle and polite smile.

"Hmm... Your Highness?"

After Majik finished speaking, Priest, the high priest of the Holy See, got up slowly and asked a question.

Meng Lang frowned, exhaled deeply, and said, "What's the matter?"

Priest laughed, but then, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he became serious, and said slowly——

"I may not have prepared a lot of data in advance like the Great Elder Magjik. But I also have some disrespectful thoughts about the so-called pocket fire."

Meng Lang held his forehead again and closed his eyes: "What do you think? Do you think the pocket fire is not good?"

Priest shook his head slowly: "No, Pocket Fire is very good. It is really great that ordinary people can freely use the spell 'Flame' in flame magic without any affinity for magic power. Wonderful. The form of pocket fire is more convenient than using magic scrolls to store magic, and it can even be used repeatedly, which can be said to be very convenient and quick."

"In addition, I also heard that Baroness Garcia has developed another set of lighting technology in Pelican Town in the past few years. This technology doesn't even use things like pocket fires, and can artificially create lights no less than ours. The ball of light made by the priest of the Holy See can even last a whole night. It sounds like a very good way.” Hearing what Priest said suddenly, the violent waves, the tides, and the Duke of Golden Fruit All turned to the High Priest and looked into his face.

Only Ariel still maintained that calmness, didn't say a word, just smiled.

"High Priest, could it be that you... agree with things like pocket fire?"

Meng Lang asked aloud.

The face of the high priest was still very serious, and he said slowly: "I agree with the 'fun' of things like pocket fire, but I don't agree with its 'value'. Because this thing completely deprives a lot of things related to torches. The work and income of the manufacturers. The workshops of torches, lamp oil, lamps, etc. are already a very complete industry. This thing will make these workshop owners meaningless in an instant, losing their jobs and opportunities to make money .Likewise, food, houses, everything they thought they could have forever under the aegis of the Empire."

"Your Highness should know that lighting is a very luxurious thing. We humans worship light and love light. However, the God of Light still decided to only use it for half of the day after he understood the meaning of light to us humans. Give us light within."

"The great God of Light is here to let us understand the meaning of light, and let us know that light is not an easy thing. Light is a gift, something that can only be obtained after devout prayers and devotion to the God of Light. .”

"However, Baroness Garcia used her idle thoughts and some strange techniques of unknown origin to forcibly violate the will of the God of Light, and just wanted to let the light come to our world at night."

"In this regard, I really doubt it. Does Baroness Garcia want to replace the God of Light? Even, do you want to be the God of Light at night? To put it mildly, this is a kind of overestimation. But to put it more seriously, This is simply blasphemy."

At that moment, the corner of Ariel's mouth twitched slightly.

Even at this moment, Tide in front of her suddenly turned her head, looking at the woman standing behind her with a very terrified and suspicious expression.

High Priest Priest slowly spread his hands, and continued to say——

"Of course, the God of Light is not so unreasonable. He would also be willing to give us humans some small brilliance at night. Therefore, we humans can light torches and bonfires at night, so that the warmth in the fireplace can dispel the winter chill , to brighten our lives."

"However, in order to obtain light at night, the God of Light has given us humans many severe tests."

"We need to chop firewood, we need to preserve the fire, and we need to keep the burning place as dry as possible. Especially, when we light the small lights at night, we need a lot of whale oil from the magic toothed whale."

The high priest spread his hands, paused for a moment, and said——

"Participating in whaling is a fine tradition in our country. Since our empire is a sea nation, the whaling industry is particularly prosperous. Our brave warriors and mages set out to sea in those modified ships to challenge Those terrifying, huge mountain-like magic toothed whales. After paying their blood and lives, they have reaped endless glory."

"The teeth, skeleton, meat, whale oil, etc. of the magic toothed whale are all important resource outputs of our country. Especially the whale oil, which is almost equivalent to the lifeline of the night lighting of the entire Blue Bay Empire. At the same time, other countries and our country Among the trade transactions, there are also many who need to buy these whale oils. As the elder Magjik said just now, there are countless people in the industry related to whaling, although I can't give the specifics at present. number, but I believe His Highness can understand it just by thinking about it, it will be an astronomical number."

"It is precisely because light is precious that the God of Light has only given us half a day of light to let us understand that light is such a precious gift."

"It is precisely because light is precious that the God of Light set up the test of a huge monster like the magic toothed whale, so that those brave warriors and magicians can break through numerous obstacles for the sake of family and glory, and obtain the light. After God's mercy, I was finally able to obtain those whale oils that can also light up at night."

"However, it is precisely because light is so precious..."

"Barononess Garcia, may I ask what you paid for these lights?"

Did Ariel expect these situations before?

She didn't.

At least, she didn't expect that the two high priests and elders would oppose these new things so strongly.

Originally, she thought that after seeing the power of the devil's dragon chariot, they would learn to behave better, at least they would never want to do these miscellaneous things again.But now it turns out that she was really naive.

On the other side, Menglang took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Ariel, do you think what they said is right?"

Ariel glanced at Connor over there, and saw that the teacher was still sitting in his seat without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.At that moment, after thinking for a while, she said with a smile: "Your Highness, let me say that these problems are not really problems at all."

Meng Lang's already dim eyes suddenly flashed a light: "Oh? You think it's okay?"

All the novels you want to read can be downloaded for you on Lanwen.com: LANWENS.COM

Ariel nodded slightly, and continued to face the two big men with a smile on her face.First of all, she looked at the Great Elder Majik and said with a smile: "Hello, Your Excellency the Great Magician."

Magik snorted, but didn't answer.

But it doesn't matter, Ariel continued: "I know that His Highness the Archmage may be a little bit resistant to the strange car. It will also lead to a large number of unemployed people. But I believe you should also understand that these unemployed people will not immediately convert into unemployed people. crowd."

"If you want to make a monster car, you need a lot of parts. To integrate all these parts into a monster car, it is definitely not enough to rely on the power of Mermaid Song's guild. So when the time comes, there will be a special A 'factory' that makes strange cars. In this way, those unemployed people can enter the 'factory' to work and avoid unemployment by making strange cars."

"Then, there is the issue of the number of deliveries. With the delivery power of strange vehicles, the amount that can be delivered at one time will far exceed the previous amount. For the workshops in both cities, the things that can be produced will also change. Make more! The more products you make, the more trade shipments you make. So, it makes more frequent shipments, and it definitely doesn’t feel decadent.”

"Next, there is the problem of the cavalry. Then... I want to ask the master here, why can't the cavalry ride in this chariot that doesn't need horses? We humans didn't ride horses to fight from the very beginning, even from the very beginning. , none of our cavalry have saddles and bridles. If we could change it before, why can't we change it now?"

Chapter 35 Reinforcements

While speaking, Ariel shifted her eyes to Priest next to her, and continued to say with a smile——

"Also, it's a matter of light."

"The God of Light has given us half of the light, so we need to pay a price to obtain the other half of the light. You ask me, what price did I pay?"

"I can tell you that I paid almost a thousand gold and a lot of labor. I don't intend to belittle the brave adventurers who faced the magic toothed whale, but I want to say that if we can use If there is a safer way to obtain more lasting light, I believe even the God of Light should be understandable, right?"

Ariel tried her best to make her words appear gentle, and she also followed the words of the archmage and high priest.

But it's a pity that just after she blurted out these words, Majik immediately showed a mocking expression and said——

"To put it bluntly, hire those unemployed people as workers? How many workers can your factory accommodate? One hundred? One thousand? Or ten thousand? You must know that the industry related to horse-drawn carriages is a business with more than 10 people across the country. ! Can it be solved just by saying 'you can hire them as workers'?"

Ariel was still smiling, and said very politely: "I will try to hire as many as possible. Besides, it's not just the workers who make the strange cars, but also the sales channels, the maintenance of the strange cars and many other jobs... "

"Hmph, Baroness Garcia, I think you really don't understand the seriousness of the matter."

Majik snorted heavily with his nose, and said——

"Among these unemployed people, they've been in the same job for a lifetime, maybe even for several lifetimes."

"Their grandfather, father, to his generation, even to his son and grandson, all rely on the same kind of work to support their families. Some of these jobs have even become their family's signature!"

"It's like saddles. Everyone knows that the Caton family makes the best saddles! Their family has been making saddles since 300 years ago, and they have been doing it until now. They will continue to do so in the future. The Caton family Your saddle is without a doubt the best saddle in the world!"

"What you said is easy, after abolishing their jobs, give them another job? Let's not talk about whether you can give them this job, just say why they don't do the traditional and best craftsmanship , but come to learn your new jobs that I don’t know if they are useful?”

"Besides, the current head of the Carton family is 52 years old. Do you want to let a 52-year-old person learn some new things? You have never thought about what to do if the old man can't learn ?”

To be honest, Ariel suddenly felt that she was about to lose.

She hadn't considered these issues before... She really hadn't considered them!

Before that, the only thing she could think of was the huge power that the devil dragon car could exert!She intuitively thought that this huge force could destroy all the old things like an unstoppable flood, and then re-establish a new system!
