Gold is Justice

Seeing that the younger brother was evasive, Meng Lang frowned slightly.But he still said in a somewhat reassuring tone: "Tide, I hope you can go to the outside world and see our country. I have already been on the battlefield when I was your age, so I also hope You don't have to stay in the imperial city all day long, you can also look around and practice, this will also be a valuable experience for you..."

For Meng Lang's reassurance, Chao Chao's face still had that expression of disapproval, and he said: "Brother Emperor...can you please spare me? Marginal Province...can you just spare me? I've booked three dances this month, and I'm invited to visit an opera next month... If you really want to send someone..."

Speaking of this, Chao Chao suddenly turned his head to look at Ariel behind him, pointed at her, and said, "How about letting Ariel go? She is my mistress, if she goes in my name, Doesn't that mean I went by myself?"

Ariel silently looked at the second prince in front of her, at his disgusted and evasive expression.Involuntarily, a smile of approval appeared.

Seeing that his younger brother really refused to go, Meng Lang really had no other choice now.He sighed, turned his gaze to Ariel, and said: "So...Ariel, what do you think? You were responsible for the strange car, and now I will let you replace my brother and deal with the strange car as a royal family." What do you think about the car and these elemental machines?"

Ariel came out from behind the tide, saluted slowly towards the fierce waves, with a smile on her face, and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness, and also thank you for the kindness of the second prince. To be able to handle this matter in the name of the second prince, I believe it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Seeing that Ariel agreed so readily, Meng Lang was a little surprised, but then he nodded with a smile and said, "Ah...Ariel, it's really hard work for you. It hasn't been a few days since I returned to the imperial city. On a fine day, you will go to that remote place again. It is really hard for you."

Ariel still had a smile on her face, and said: "It's my duty to share your Highness's worries. Please don't mind your Highness."

Meng Lang slapped the table and said with a smile: "Okay! If that's the case, I'll give you three years! In the Holy Night Festival three years later, I hope to see the elemental machines in Pelican Town develop different colors." Ariel, originally I asked you to disband your Mermaid Song after this guild championship battle, but now it seems that you may need manpower to handle this matter. Your Mermaid Song will be reserved for now, under the name of It is also acting in the name of the Royal Task Force."

"In this way, do you have any needs? Just say it. I will try my best to satisfy you within my ability."

Now Ariel felt like she was about to jump for joy!

Is there anything more satisfying than this?Is there anything more exciting than this?

Acting in the name of the royal family, that is simply changing your previous difficult mode to easy mode, okay?Three years...Although it was another three years, it would definitely become easier in these three years!Everything will look very easy!

Thinking of how honorable her current status is, Ariel suddenly felt a little lost, and immediately said with a smile: "Returning to Your Highness, I do have one thing, and I hope to obtain His Highness's permission." The crown prince nodded, Said: "What do you want to say? Say it."

Ariel smiled and said: "I hope that His Highness can pardon the Guild of Origins, remove the stigma of colluding with the demons on this guild, and pardon all members of the Guild of Origins, whether they are former members or current members, and be able to Allow them to continue researching the element machine freely."

The words were spoken.

However, at the moment when the words were spoken thoroughly, Ariel suddenly discovered that the Crown Prince who had always smiled at her, now, the smile at the corner of his mouth froze in an instant.

The high priests and elders on both sides are also looking at the crown prince with serious expressions.At the same time, the eyes they looked at Ariel were full of contempt, even...full of ridicule.

At first, Ariel still couldn't understand the meaning of accepting this kind of ridicule.

But soon, she understood.

"The Origin Guild...is that the origin cult that colluded with the demons and used terrible sacrifice methods? The nature of the origin cult was determined by the emperor, and this point is absolutely impossible to change."

After pondering for a while, Menglang finally spoke out his decision——

"Ariel, I can't satisfy you with your request. The Guild of Origins is a cult. This is an indisputable fact. Because the Cult of Origins did cause many deaths through some terrible rituals, it is impossible for me to let such a cult lead to so many people. Guilds whose names have been re-named after death. In this case, it is absolutely unfair to those civilians who died.”

Having said that, Menglang frowned.He seemed to feel a little guilty about his statement, and after thinking about it, he said——

"However, now the origin cult is basically equivalent to being destroyed, and the members of the cult are also going their own way, and it is impossible to form a climate again. Ariel, I am here to assure you that as long as they don't restart the rituals of the cult, then I will Then you can pardon those cult members and stop hunting them down."

Ariel couldn't help trembling, but she still wanted to take the risk and win: "But Your Highness—"

"You don't need to say anymore, I have already said, I will not pursue those cult members anymore!"

Suddenly, the sound of the violent waves directly overwhelmed Ariel's voice.The crown prince's wide-eyed eyes made Ariel's words stuck in her throat for an instant, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing this, Ariel finally understood what this meant, she silently lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing that Ariel was subdued now, Menglang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ariel, I know what you want to say. The one who came in with you Song of the Mermaid today is a former member of the Origin Guild, right? This Was the so-called elemental machine made by him?"

After a moment of silence, Ariel nodded lightly and said, "Yes, Your Highness..."

Meng Lang smiled and said: "What an excellent young man. Although he went astray for a while and joined a terrible demon cult, he was still able to leave this origin cult at a critical moment to avoid causing Big mistake. And after leaving, this kid was able to study hard, and finally came up with the elemental machine, and even came up with such things as pocket fire and strange car, that’s really gratifying, isn’t it?”

"Don't worry, I will issue orders in the name of the father. Now that the origin cult has been completely destroyed, with the benevolent character of the father, he will definitely be willing to forgive these ignorant and poor civilians."

After saying this, Ariel finally raised her head slightly, and said softly: "Then, I will take the place of my friend, thank you Your Highness, and thank you for your gift..."

Meng Lang smiled and waved his hands: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

It's just that at this moment, the high priest and elder at the side couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Your Highness."



Chapter 38 The Door of Truth in Economics

"It was just a small fight before. With the ability of Baroness Garcia, I may be able to support it. But in the future, this will be a three-year mission period. We really doubt that with Baroness Garcia 'Women', especially those who were 'slaves' not long ago, do they have the ability to control this task well."

Meng Lang froze for a moment: "Oh? What do you two mean?"

Majik snorted and said, "In order to better assist Baroness Garcia in this work, our Magic Association is willing to provide manpower to assist."

Priest also smiled and said: "Our Holy See of Light is also willing to provide manpower and materials to assist. Help Baroness Garcia to better carry out the work progress of this three-year mission."

Hearing this, Ariel couldn't help but raised her head and glanced at the two elders and the high priest, and gritted her teeth lightly.

Meng Lang thought for a while, then turned to look at Duke Jin Guo over there, and said, "What do you think of Jin Guo?"

Duke Jin Guo also smiled, and said: "It's not that I don't trust our maid. Ariel can also be regarded as the one I watched growing up. She is indeed a little clever, and she can use a little crooked brain." But she may not be able to control the strategy of the big policy well. Just like the bet she thought she was right, the result of betting casually is that she will lose so cleanly. I believe that if It wasn't because of His Majesty's benevolence, this maid made such a casual bet, and the final result was undoubtedly her own life." "But now she is not only risking her own life, but next she is risking the dignity of the royal family .If she is allowed to bluff around outside in the name of the royal family, it would be too uncontrollable."

Meng Lang let out a breath, and after thinking for a while, he nodded lightly and said, "Ariel, I also want to send someone to assist you, on the one hand, to increase your manpower, and on the other hand, to teach you some skills. For noble etiquette, see what things can and cannot be done. What do you think?"

Is this a negotiation?

No, this is telling you directly how the royal family intends to use you.

For Ariel...for this Ariel who is a baroness in name, but in reality is still just a maid, a slave...

She has no right to refuse at all.

"Thank you for your great love, Ariel is very grateful."

At this point, the discussion on this matter is considered to be over.

After the Magic Association and the Holy See gained the power to place people around Ariel, the resentment on their faces naturally became less deep, and they began to feel more at ease.

It seems that they already know one thing very clearly——

Three years later, the elemental machine will eventually become a piece of chicken feathers, unable to do anything.

"Everyone, it's getting late now, let's go have dinner."

After discussing the matter, Menglang spread his hands and greeted everyone here with a smile.The rest of the people also got up slowly now, and followed the crown prince towards the gate.

"Your Highness."

Ariel turned slightly sideways and stepped out of the way.But just as the fierce waves passed in front of her, she still took out a manual from her pocket and handed it over——

"The things promised to be dedicated to His Highness."

Meng Lang glanced at Ariel, nodded with a smile, and took the manual in her hand.After walking out of the gate, hand it over to a follower next to him, let him place it in his bedroom, and then take the lead in walking towards the dining room.

Magjik and Priest passed by Ariel, and sneered at her.

Duke Jin Guo didn't even look at her, and left as if there was no such person here.

As for the second prince... Ariel's current nominal husband whispered in Ariel's ear when he passed by her side——

"You know? I used to think you were interesting and wanted to keep you by my side. But now, I think it's the most correct thing to drive you away. Go to the border , you are a monster that won’t die even after taking poison.”

Ariel glanced at the prince without saying a word.

Chao Chao didn't seem to want to get her answer, so he laughed and walked out.

And at the end...

Connor Conservative, now slowly stood in front of Ariel... this former student.

"teacher……"

"...Alas..." After sighing, Connor shook his head lightly, but still said softly, "Let's go, we'll talk on the way."

----

At this time, the lights in the imperial city had been lit up, and the soldiers were changing the guard.

The maids walked together in twos and threes, busy working for the castle.

As Ariel, she is now accompanying her most respected teacher, walking slowly towards the exit of the castle.

"Mr. Connor, thank you for helping me so many times today."

While walking, Ariel finally couldn't help herself and said something.

Connor, who was only half a step ahead, turned his head, his eyes filled with confusion.After hesitating for a moment, the teacher finally smiled and said in a tone that seemed to be exhausted——

"You are my student. As a teacher, I have nowhere to help you. If you can speak in this kind of place, I will help you."

Ariel giggled, and then said: "Teacher, the method you just mentioned to increase the property rights by 20%... Actually, there is something wrong with it, right?"

Connor smiled slightly and said, "You are indeed my best student. But I can't care so much about the situation just now."

Ariel wrung her fingers and smiled as she walked: "Hee hee, it looks very good at first glance, and you can get a lot of money with nothing. But there are risks in it~~~! I remember this word The teacher seems to have said in class...it seems to be called...foam! Right?"

The economics teacher walked slowly like a stroll in the garden, with a smile on his mouth: "A little bubble is not a bad thing. A little bubble can drive the vitality of the economy, make wealth faster, and produce higher efficiency. "

Ariel crossed her hands and looked at her teacher with an almost adoring gaze, and continued to smile and said, "But teacher, do you think the Magic Association will realize this? They will come at the right time , stop the growth of this bubble?"

Speaking of this, Connor's footsteps couldn't help but faltered a bit.After contemplating for a while, he continued to walk forward, sighed helplessly, and said, "I can only say that just now, in order to support you, I really said a lot of things that shouldn't be said... I made a decision for the Magic Association. The two-year period, if the Magic Association really only does this within the two-year period here, we can still afford these bubbles." Ariel: "Then if they don't want to earn money for only two years, but want to How about earning more money for more years? Or, they have sold too many bills, and they have been completely immersed in the madness of making quick money?"

Regarding this, Connor's face could only reveal a little uneasiness.After pondering for a while, he sighed, and said: "I opened the door with my own hands. If something too extreme happens in the future, I must also close the door with my own hands. I will personally persuade you."

Ariel walked with her hands behind her back and said with a smug smile, "I believe the teacher didn't do it on purpose, but ah~~~ Once a person starts to taste the sweetness of being able to make money easily, it may be difficult to give up for long-term plans. This piece of fat in front of me~~~ I have experienced this very deeply in the past three years. Sometimes it is a painful thing for you to have money but not make it. It is like a dead parent. Haha, I am a simile."

At this time, Connor was not talking, but his expression became more and more ugly.

Ariel didn't notice it, and continued: "Also, the teacher said just now that the bills should not be signed, but that anyone with the bills can exchange for horses when the time comes, right? Hehe, this way If so, these bills themselves have actually become a kind of 'currency'! Anonymous! Anyone can use these bills as real money, and then just let the Magic Association take care of it in the end."

"But in this way, the bill will change from the original 'exchange certificate' to another 'commodity', and even directly become a 'currency itself'. I know that the use of bearer bills can make the Magic Association better Sell ​​these bills. But once these large amount of bills flood into the market, after a certain amount, it is easy to create a bigger bubble! If you don’t do it well... Teacher, your hand will really make many people go bankrupt Ya~~~”

Hearing Ariel's gloating expression, Connor couldn't help but look ugly, and said coldly: "Ariel, I told you when you were studying that economics is not a science for making money. If you enter the economics department with the idea of ​​making a lot of money, then you have completely misunderstood the goal. Do you remember this point?"

Hearing the teacher suddenly speak in such a stern tone, Ariel quickly put away her joking expression, stood aside respectfully, and after thinking for a while, said: "Yes, teacher, economics should not just be about making money. ..."

Connor exhaled slowly, and his tone seemed to soften a lot: "We study economics to learn the natural laws of the economy, and to figure out how we humans will react when we face economic problems. Based on this , to provide the ruler with the question of how much tax should be collected, how much tax should be exempted, and how much appropriation should be allocated."

Chapter 39 Come with me

"If you're really trying to make money out of economics, you're probably opening up a horrible bottomless pit. You can make a lot of money on the surface, but you never know what the dire consequences will be. The more I study the laws of economics, the more I feel this way. Sometimes, killing people with the economy is more terrible than killing people in a war. You must always keep in mind that the economy is a country. The lifeblood of life, and the lifeblood of many like you. Forget this, and you can kill thousands of people talking and laughing, just like an executioner."

Ariel stuck out her tongue.

I didn't expect that after leaving school for three years, I would still be taught a lesson in the end.This made the girl seem a little unhappy, but being taught a lesson by the teacher... the lesson will be taught.
