The Sun King's Evidence

In fact, a series of changes in the development of human history are inseparable from the relationship between people and place, that is, the relationship between productivity and population. Depending on the productivity, there will naturally be corresponding systems and laws of population development that correspond to it.

Naturally, if productivity is unlimited, then the entire society will naturally enter the ideal state of "university under heaven" and distribute according to needs.

It's a pity that this is impossible, at least not for Ryan. In fact, even the Emperor's Human Empire cannot do it.

Relatively speaking, the evolution of the system must follow the evolution of productive forces step by step, rather than being filled with a certain idea and copying it mechanically without considering any reality and national conditions. This is a dogmatic mistake.

In this world, is the contradiction between nobles and serfs a fundamental contradiction?

No, the fundamental contradiction faced by human beings in this world is the contradiction between survival and death. Under the huge external pressure, both nobles and serfs know how to tolerate. The knights and nobles know not to force the serfs to survive, and there will be relief. and releasing grain for disaster relief. The serfs also knew that without the knights, they would have no way to fight against the evil invasion, so they also restrained themselves from their plight and exploitation.

It can only be said that Britannia took a different route from the Empire. The origin of the Empire was the rise of human tribes, and a group of barbarians established the empire in blood and fire, while Britannia was founded by Britannia. The Ni tribe of horsemen crossed the Gray Mountains. In the twelve battles since the founding of the country, the first Knight King and the twelve first Holy Grail Knights were of noble origin. Different ways of founding the country determined the fundamental differences in the system.

Ryan knew that the concerns of the Lake Fairy were not unreasonable. Although the serf household registration redemption system allowed the nobles to obtain a large amount of compensation in the short term, in essence it still tilted the balance towards the serfs and robbed the knights and nobles in a certain way. asset.

Many knights and nobles are not really stupid, they can see it.

But Ryan also has his own considerations and advantages for him.

First of all, Ryan's reputation in the kingdom and even the old world has reached its peak. Over the years, he has been like a firefighter helping the entire kingdom to eliminate internal and external troubles. He is the hero of the kingdom, and his huge prestige makes the dukes dare not directly oppose them openly. His decision.

Secondly, as mentioned before, the Kingdom of Knights, like the Empire, is facing huge external pressure. The bonus period for killing Egil-Red Eye has gone. Starting from this year, the northern coastal areas of Curona and Le-Angoulan will And Leonese have begun to suffer sporadic invasions by Norscan longships, and the number is becoming more and more frequent.

In this case, the serfs will be willing to make concessions, and the nobles will also be willing to make concessions. In this world, the most important thing is to survive.

Finally, there is the issue of dwarf water conservancy projects and the promotion of new agricultural tools. In the past few years, Belegar and his Angland clan have contracted the construction of almost all water conservancy projects in Britannia and the promotion of new dwarf farm tools. To sum it up simply, there are no longer need for so many serfs in the fields.

Then, how to calculate the redemption amount will be the key. If the redemption amount is too high, the nobles will naturally be willing, but this policy is of little significance because the serfs simply cannot afford so much money. If the redemption amount is too low, the nobles will Definitely not.

The Fairy in the Lake walked into the bedroom. At the end of October, the climate in the Fairy in the Lake Tower was gradually enveloped by the cold air. The goddess's dress today was simple and elegant yet still had a sense of nobility. She was full of fairy spirit. She stepped on the milky white stilettos. Walking around the room with high heels, the goddess frowned with a pair of beautiful golden eyebrows, stretched out her hand and tapped Ryan's forehead: "The ransom payment for a serf must not be too low, otherwise I won't be able to help you."

"That's right, Ryan, you have to know that gods return to gods, and mortals return to mortals." Lake God Witch Morgiana also said: "If this measure is collectively opposed by all the dukes, then even if it is the lady's oracle None of them can help you."

"This ransom must not be less." Ryan thought about it carefully and said: "My suggestion is, first of all, it cannot be achieved with just one or two years of hard work. Secondly, different principalities have different economic levels and cannot unify standards. In this way , in my territory, it is fifteen gold crowns to redeem a person’s serf household registration. If it is the entire immediate family, including parents, wives and children, then it is fifty gold crowns per household. How is this price?”

The fairy in the lake thought carefully for a moment before nodding: "If it is this price, it should be acceptable. Most of the serfs in your territory are rich, and some people can afford this money."

"Then the pilot is to be carried out in my territory and the Principality of Winford first, and not to be extended to the whole country for the time being." Seeing the fairy in the lake agreeing, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued: "My territory and Francois's The territory is the richest area in the entire kingdom, followed by Bordero, and if everything goes well, it will be extended to the whole country."

"It seems that you have thought very maturely, my champion." The fairy in the lake nodded repeatedly in approval. She walked to the window with light steps and looked through the window sill to the distance shrouded in thick fog: "I I just want to remind you that you must not let the serfs feel that they can obtain freedom too easily. At the same time, you must not let the knights and nobles feel that even if the serfs become free people, they will still be slaughtered by them. You need to grasp the scale of this. Don’t be like that Sun Knight under your command who almost couldn’t control his subordinates.”

"Well, that's right." Morgiana completely abides by the will of the Lake Fairy.

Morgiana was talking about an incident that occurred with Juan Carlos, Baron Biocari of the Principality of Mousilon when Ryan was away.

After Juan became a baron, he naturally began to manage his territory. He invested all the money captured in the war and Ryan's reward into his territory, and then recruited serfs and formed infantry in the same way as Ryan. At the same time, he also relied on his amazing diplomatic skills to persuade the wood elves to join the war.

It was a hard time at the beginning, with the new construction of Mousilon, serious security problems in Juan's territory, the lingering vampire remnants, the Skaven under the Orphan Hills, and the beasts in the Arden Forest. Human tribes came and went from time to time, and even the Biocari Castle, which served as a governance base, could not completely escape the flames of war. Juan constantly launched public security wars. Seeing that the serf infantry fought hard, he increased their welfare benefits, in addition to free food and clothing. In addition to accommodation, additional military pay was provided.

Juan's kindness did not make the serfs grateful. On the contrary, the serf soldiers began to become lazy and unwilling to fight. After they enjoyed the benefits and received extra military pay in the military camp, they were no longer interested in fighting, even if they were To catch up with the battlefield is also to be passive and slow down.

Juan quickly discovered this problem. He found that due to excessive military pay, the soldiers were unwilling to fight hard and their combat effectiveness declined. The young baron immediately and decisively ordered the dismantling of the existing infantry battalions. As a result, the soldiers almost mutinied. The elves helped Juan suppress it, and he was almost trapped in a tavern and couldn't get out!

Only then did Juan realize why Ryan strictly controlled the welfare and military pay of his serf infantrymen. The military salary of a dozen copper coins a week was just enough to go to the bar once a week to relax on the day off.

Want to get rich or get promoted? Want to go to the bar often for a drink and improve your life?

Fight hard!

The outcome of this matter was that Morgiana intervened and hanged more than a dozen serfs at one go. The outcome of the matter was not only something Morgiana didn't want to see, but also Juan and the Musilon people didn't want to see. In the end, it was a three-loser situation. When Juan tried to recruit new troops, the serfs in the territory were no longer willing to believe in the sincerity of the baron, nor were they willing to accept the outcome of the cancellation of benefits. There were even private rumors that Juan This baron from a foreign country is really not good enough.

Ryan just smiled after learning about this. This was a training on the road to growth. I hope Juan can learn from it.

"I know, my lady." Ryan stood up, walked to the side of the fairy in the lake, and looked at the thick fog outside the tower with her: "I know very well that one of my brothers once said, No matter how huge the reward is, it is meaningless if it is easily obtained without any challenge."

"Very good." The Lake Fairy took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm. The goddess opened her mouth. She suddenly realized that she had nothing to guide Ryan.

This is not bad. He is growing faster and faster. When he met Ryan, he was just a little knight who needed his help. But now, he has grown into a big tree in the sky, not only supporting the entire kingdom. , and can effectively protect oneself.

The Lake Fairy let her ankle-length golden hair hang to the ground. She pulled Ryan and sat on the sofa chair in front of the fireplace. The two of them chatted by the fireplace, looking at the flames and burning dry matter in the fireplace. Chai, the goddess and Ryan discussed the details carefully, and Morgiana chatted for a while before going down to rest.

Ryan explained his thoughts to the Fairy of the Lake. He believed that in fact, excessive welfare was not good for the entire society.

Of course, Ryan's original intention is not to say that people cannot have welfare. He will not say that 996 is a blessing from a previous life. Otherwise, 996 is not my brother, Ryan. Such nonsense is completely from the perspective of capitalists. That is obviously Capitalists maliciously intimidate and coerce workers, using words such as love, blessings, hard work, and social responsibility to avoid the important and distort the key points to cover up their ugly true face.

What Lane believes is that too good social welfare will have an extremely negative impact on people's work enthusiasm and labor efficiency.

For example, a famous ancient country in his previous life.

How good were the welfare of this ancient country?

Free medical care and free education for all, fourteen months' salary a year, one month's paid leave every year, and a pension starting at the age of 40.

What about the ending? No one works hard anymore, everyone is busy enjoying benefits. Regardless of whether they work hard or not, they enjoy similar benefits, so who is still working hard?

Debt crisis, economic collapse.

People are lazy.

Speaking of this matter, Ryan asked the Fairy of the Lake: "Lilith, is it the same in Ulthuan? People enjoy high welfare and high income? Are there no distinctions between nobles and commoners?"

"What? Ryan, my champion, do you still want to visit Ulthuan?" The fairy in the lake smiled. She enjoyed this time alone with Ryan so much. When she heard Ryan's question, the goddess shook her head back and forth. With a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings, she took Ryan's hand and gently tapped Ryan's palm with her jade fingers: "The society of high elves cannot be imitated by humans, Ryan."

"If you have the opportunity to visit Ulthuan, then why not?" Ryan said with interest: "It is said that Lothern, the capital of the high elves, is the most glorious and greatest city in the world. The Phoenix King's Court and Asuryan Lord The temples are built there.”

"Nobles and commoners? Are you thinking too much? High elves pay more attention to bloodline and family pedigree than any other race. In the eyes of high elves, bloodline is everything. There are more outsiders than locals in Lothern... Asuryan's The temple was built on a small island outside the city of Lothern, not inside the city of Lothern." The fairy in the lake thought for a moment and shook her head: "But I am sure that Asuryan will not welcome you. , not only will he not let you enter his main temple, he will even ask Phoenix Guard Captain Kadron to expel you,"

"Why?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Your current strength can threaten him, and Asuryan will definitely not like you. He will only let people he likes enter his temple to see a series of murals and prophetic scrolls he left behind." Hu. The fairy in the middle seems to be full of disgust for Asuryan: "You are eager to change, eager to prevent tragedy and destruction from happening, but Asuryan believes that the end of everything in the world has already been doomed, and he hates anyone interfering with the established path. You Do you understand what I mean?"

"Then just sit and wait for death?" After listening to the words of the Lake Fairy, Ryan recalled what the high elf heaven chief god had done, and he was really speechless.

"Asuyan believes that everything in the world has its own established laws from birth to destruction, and the gods should not interfere." The fairy in the lake nodded: "Asuyan has already predicted that the evil god of chaos will destroy everything in the world at the end of time. It will bring the end of this world. Ten thousand years ago, He carved all the history of the elves on the murals, even including the betrayal of the Witch King Malekith. However, all high elves who have seen the murals and prophetic scrolls must Swearing to serve Asuryan for life and remain silent is more like a curse, because no elf can escape it, so they become the Phoenix Guard, guarding Asuryan's main temple for life."

"Sure enough, we can only rely on ourselves." Ryan nodded, he understood what the Lake Fairy meant.

"If you just want to visit Lothern, that's no problem, but if you want to be welcomed, respected and discuss ways to fight Chaos together, don't even think about it." The fairy in the lake is cold. He told Ryan a bloody reality: "The achievements you are proud of are not worth mentioning in front of the high elves. War Lord Tyrion will not listen to you, not even a word, and you don't even want to see Alarielle. 'Infernal' humans can never step into Avalon, the palace of the Eternal Queen, unless invaded. The same goes for Eltharion the Ruthless and Imric, Prince of Caledor. Instead of working on the high elves, you might as well send Let’s see if your dark elf maid can command the Pale Queen’s Hades army and elite executioners.”

"Hahahaha~" Ryan even laughed out loud: "I understand, I am overthinking, Lilith."

"If Asuryan was willing to listen to me, many tragedies would not have happened. If the elves and gods could put aside their pride and prejudice and unite, then the mortal world would at least have a better chance of winning. But I am disappointed again and again. Finally, I chose to come to Britannia and changed from the Moon Goddess Lilith to the Lake Fairy, just for the New World Plan." The Lake Fairy sighed: "It's okay now, the New World Plan has been made because of you and you. The appearance of my father shattered the bubble like a dream."

"Escape will not solve the problem, Lilith." Ryan's hand held the armrest of the sofa and looked at the flames in the fireplace: "What do you plan to do next? Do you need my cooperation?"

"I have no plans right now, but I have an idea." The fairy in the lake stretched out her hand to gently adjust the hem of her skirt. She kicked off the high-heeled shoes on her black stockings, hugged her knees with her hands, and sat curled up on the sofa. On the chair: "Ryan, you will fully support me, right?"

"Tell me what you think first?" Ryan complained: "Otherwise, I will always be uneasy. My lady, you always have a lot of ideas."

"I'm thinking that we might be able to find an opportunity to steal Asuyan's divine fire!" A hint of cunning appeared on the beautiful and fragrant oval face of the Lake Fairy: "Since Asuyan doesn't want to do anything or try his best, then we can find a way to put him Change it!"

"Ryan, come with me to create a new Asuryan!"
