Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 657: , free is often the most expensive

In fact, a series of changes in the development of human history are inseparable from the one thing between people and the land, that is, the relationship between productivity and population. Whatever the productivity, there will naturally be corresponding systems and laws of population development.

Naturally, if the productive forces are unlimited, then the whole society will naturally enter into the ideal state of "Great Harmony 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 can't do it.

Relatively speaking, the evolution of the system should follow the evolution of the productive forces step by step, instead of being full of certain ideas without taking any reality and national conditions into account. This is a dogmatic mistake.

And in this world, is the contradiction between the nobility and the serf a fundamental contradiction?

No, the fundamental contradiction facing human beings in this world is the contradiction between survival and death. Under the oppression of huge external pressure, both nobles and serfs know to tolerate it. Knights and nobles know that they cannot force the serfs to live, and there will be relief. They also knew that without the knights and gentlemen, they would have no way to fight the evil invasion, so they also restrained their plight and exploitation.

It can only be said that Brittany took a different route from the empire. The origin of the empire was the rise of human tribes and the establishment of the empire by a group of barbarians in blood and fire, while Britania was founded by Brittany. The knight tribes of the Nepalese crossed the Grey Mountains. In the twelve wars since the founding of the country, the first knight king and the twelve first knights of the Holy Grail were born from nobles.

Lane knew that the concerns of the fairies in the lake were not unreasonable. Although the system of serf household registration redemption could allow the nobles to get a lot of compensation in the short term, in essence, it still tilted the balance in favor of the serfs and plundered the knights and nobles in some way. asset.

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

But Ryan also has his own considerations and an advantage over him.

First of all, Ryan's prestige in the kingdom and even the old world has reached its peak. Over the years, he has helped the entire kingdom to relieve internal and external troubles like a firefighter. He is the hero of the kingdom, and his great prestige makes the dukes dare not directly oppose it. his decision.

Secondly, as I said before, the kingdom of knights and the empire are facing huge external pressure, and the dividend period for killing Aegir-Red-Eye has gone. And Leonathay had already begun to be invaded sporadically by the Norsca longships, with increasing frequency and frequency.

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 recent years, Bellegar and his Anglande clan have contracted almost all the construction of water conservancy projects in Brittany and the promotion of new dwarf agricultural tools. In a nutshell, there are no longer 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 Certainly not.

The fairy in the lake walked into the bedroom. In the season at the end of October, the climate of the fairy tower in the lake was gradually shrouded in cold air. The goddess today's dress is simple and elegant without losing a sense of nobility. She is full of fairy spirit. Walking around the room with high heels, the goddess frowned with a pair of beautiful golden eyebrows and reached out to touch Ryan's forehead: "The ransom for the serf must not be too low, otherwise even I can't help you."

"That's right, Ryan, you have to know that gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals." Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, also said: "If this move is collectively opposed by all the dukes, then it is a lady's oracle. Neither 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 two years of hard work, and secondly, different principalities have different economic levels and cannot have unified standards. , My territory, the redemption of a person's serf household registration is 15 gold crowns, if it is the entire immediate family, including parents, wives and children, then it is 50 gold crowns per household, what is the price?"

The fairy in the lake thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "If it's this price, it should be acceptable. Most of the serfs in your territory are rich, and some people can get the money."

"Then, firstly, it will be piloted in my territory and the Duchy of Winford, and it will not be extended to the whole country for the time being." Ryan was relieved to see the fairy in the lake agree, and he continued: "My territory and Francois's The territory is the most prosperous region in the entire kingdom, followed by Bordello, and if all goes well, it will be extended to the whole country."

"It seems that you are very mature, my champion." The fairy in the lake nodded approvingly, she moved lightly, walked to the window, and through the window sill, cast her eyes into the distance shrouded in thick fog: "I Just to remind you, don't let the serfs feel that it is too easy to obtain freedom, and at the same time, don't 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. Don't almost lose control of your subordinates like the Sun Knight under your command."

"Well, that's right." Morgiana completely obeyed the will of the fairy in the lake.

Morgiana was talking about an incident that happened at the Baron of Biocari, Juan Carlos, in the Duchy of Mousillon when Ryan was away.

After becoming a baron, Juan naturally began to govern his own territory. He invested all the money captured in the war and Ryan's reward into his own territory, and then recruited serfs and formed infantry just like Ryan. At the same time, he also persuaded the wood elves to join the war with his amazing diplomatic skills.

The beginning of time was hard, Musillon was newly built, the security of Juan's territory was serious, the remnants of vampires lingered, the Skaven under the orphan hills, and the beasts in the Arden Forest Human tribes come and go from time to time, and even the Biokari Castle, which is the government seat, can not completely escape the war. Juan constantly launched security wars. He saw that the serfs and infantry fought hard, so they improved their welfare benefits, except for food and buns. In addition to living, there are additional military pay.

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 extra military pay in the military camp, they were no longer interested in fighting. Catching up on the battlefield is also sabotage.

Juan soon discovered this problem. He found that the soldiers were reluctant to fight to the death due to the high military pay, and their combat effectiveness declined. The young baron immediately and decisively ordered the abolition of the existing infantry battalion, which almost led to a mutiny of the soldiers. The elves helped Juan suppress him, and he was almost blocked in a tavern!

Only then did Hu An realize why Ryan strictly controlled the welfare and military pay of the serfs and infantry under his command. The military pay of a dozen copper coins a week was just enough to go to the bar once a week on the day of rest to relax.

Want to get rich, want to be promoted? Want to be able to go to the bar for a drink and improve your life?

Fight hard!

The ending of this incident was that Morgiana intervened and hanged more than a dozen serfs in one breath. The ending was not only what Mogiana did not want to see, but also that Juan and Musilon did not want to see. Yes, in the end it was a three-lose situation. When Juan tried to recruit a new army, the serfs in the territory were no longer willing to believe in the sincerity of the baron, and they were not willing to accept the ending of the cancellation of welfare. The level of this baron from a foreign country is really not good.

Ryan just smiled after learning about it. This is a test on the way to grow up, and I hope Juan can learn from it.

"I see, my lady." Ryan stood up, he walked beside 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, A great reward is meaningless if it is readily available without a challenge."

"Very good." The fairy in the lake took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm, the goddess opened her mouth, and she suddenly found that she had nothing to guide Ryan.

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

The fairy in the lake let her ankle-length blonde hair fall to the ground. She pulled Ryan to sit on the sofa chair in front of the fireplace. The two chatted by the fireplace like this, looking at the flames and burning dryness in the fireplace. Chai, the goddess and Ryan discussed the details carefully, and Morgiana went down to rest after chatting for a while.

Lane explained his thoughts to the fairy in the lake. He believes that in fact, excessive welfare is not good for the whole society.

Of course, Ryan's original intention is not to say that people can't have benefits. He won't say that 996 is a blessing in a previous life. If not, 996 is not my brother Ryan's nonsense. The remarks from the perspective of capitalists are obviously The capitalists' malicious intimidation, coercion, and enticing to laborers use love, good fortune, hard work, and social responsibility to avoid important things, and distort key words to cover up their ugly true colors.

Lane believes 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 was the welfare of this ancient country?

Free medical care and free education for all people, fourteen months of salary a year, one month of paid vacation every year, and a pension from the age of 40.

What about the end? No one is working hard anymore, everyone is busy enjoying benefits, and everyone enjoys the same treatment no matter how hard they work. Who still works hard?

Debt crisis, economic collapse.

People are lazy.

Speaking of this matter, Ryan asked the fairy in the lake, "Lilith, is it the same with Osuan? People enjoy high welfare and high income? There is no distinction between nobles and commoners?"

"What? Ryan, my champion, do you still want to visit Osuan?" The fairy in the lake beamed. She enjoyed the time alone with Ryan. Hearing Ryan's question, the goddess shook her own back and forth. With a pair of black silk legs, she took Ryan's hand and gently touched Ryan's palm with her jade finger: "The society of high elves cannot be imitated by humans, Ryan."

"If there is a chance to visit Ulthuan, why not?" Ryan said with interest: "It is said that Lothern, the capital of the high elves, is the most splendid and greatest city in the world. Temples are built there."

"Nobles and commoners? You think too much. High elves pay more attention to blood and family lineage than any race. In the eyes of high elves, blood is everything. Lothern now has more foreigners than locals... Asuryan's The temple was built on a small island outside Lothern City, not in Lothern City." The fairy in the lake thought for a while, then shook her head again and again: "But I am sure that Asuryan will not welcome you. , not only will he not let you into his main temple, he will even let the Phoenix Guard Captain Kadroin banish you,"

"Why?" Ryan was a little strange.

"Your strength can threaten him now, and Asuryan will definitely not like you. He will only let those he likes enter his temple to see a series of murals and prophecy scrolls he left behind." Lake The middle fairy seems to be full of disgust towards Asuryan: "You are eager to change, to prevent tragedy and destruction, while Asuryan believes that the end of everything in the world is already doomed, and he hates anyone to interfere with the established path, you See what I mean?"

"Then sit and wait to die?" After hearing the words of the fairy in the lake, Ryan recalled what this high elf Heavenly Lord God had done, and he really had nothing to say.

"Asuryan believes that all things in the world have their own established laws from birth to destruction, and the gods should not interfere." The fairy in the lake nodded: "Asuryan has long predicted that the evil **** of chaos will destroy all things in the world, and the moment of the end. It will bring the world to an end. Ten thousand years ago, the entire history of the elves was engraved on the murals, even including the betrayal of the witch king Malekith, but all high elves who have seen the murals and prophecy scrolls must swear Serve Asuryan for life and keep silent, it is more like a curse, because there is no elves to get rid of, they become Phoenix guards, guarding the main temple of Asuryan for life."

"Sure enough, we can only rely on ourselves." Ryan nodded, he understood the meaning of the fairy in the lake.

"If you just want to visit Lothern, there's no problem, but if you want to be welcomed there, respected and discuss ways to fight chaos together, don't even think about it." The fairy in the lake was cold. He told Ryan a **** reality: "Your proud achievements are not worth mentioning in front of the high elves, the war lord Tyrion will not listen to you, not a word, and you don't want to see Ela Ruili, 'Lower' humans will never be able to step into Avalon ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ the palace of the Everqueen, unless invaded, as do Azharion the Grim and Imric, Prince of Caledor, you're not in the High Elves If you work hard, you might as well put your hopes on your dark elf maid and see if she can command the pale queen's army of the underworld and the elite executioner."

"Hahaha~" Ryan even laughed: "I see, I think too much, Lilith."

"If Asuryan was willing to listen to me, many tragedies would not have happened. If the elven 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 have been disappointed time after time. In the end, I chose to come to Britannia, and changed from Lilith, the goddess of the moon, to the fairy in the lake, just for the new world plan." The lake fairy sighed: "It's alright now, the plan of the new world has been because of you and you. The appearance of my father shattered like the bubble of a dream."

"Escape can't solve the problem, Lilith." Ryan 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 don't have a plan right now, but I have an idea." The fairy in the lake stretched out her hand and gently tidied up her skirt. She kicked off the strappy high-heeled shoes on her black stockings and jade feet, hugged her knees with her hands, and sat curled up on the sofa. On the chair: "Lane, you will fully support me, right?"

"What are your thoughts first?" Ryan groaned: "Otherwise, I'm always not at ease, my lady, you always have a lot of thoughts."

"I was thinking that we might be able to find an opportunity to steal Asuryan's divine fire!" There was a hint of slyness on the face of the goose egg of the fairy in the lake: "Since Asuryan doesn't want to do anything, and doesn't want to try his best, then we will find a way to put him Change it!"

"Lane, you and I, create a new Asuryan!"
