Warhammer Throne
Chapter 657: , Free is often the most expensive
In fact, a series of changes in the development of human history are inseparable from the matter between people and the land, that is, the relationship between productivity and population. What is the productivity, there will naturally be corresponding systems and population development laws corresponding to it.
Naturally, if the productive forces are unlimited, then the whole 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 impossible for Ryan, in fact, even the emperor's human empire can't do it.
Relatively speaking, the evolution of the system must follow the evolution of the productive forces step by step, instead of being full of certain thoughts, without considering any reality and national conditions. This is a dogmatic error.
In this world, is the contradiction between the nobility and the serf a fundamental contradiction?
No, the fundamental contradiction faced by humans in this world is the contradiction between survival and death. Under tremendous external pressure, both nobles and serfs know to tolerate them. Knights and nobles know that serfs cannot be forced to survive, and there will be relief. With food distribution and disaster relief, the serfs also knew that without the knight masters, they would have no way to resist the evil invasion, so they also restrained their own plight and the situation of being exploited.
It can only be said that Bretania took a different route from the empire. The origin of the empire was the rise of human tribes. A group of barbarians established the empire in blood and fire, while Brittany was founded by Brittany. The rider tribes of the Nepalese 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. The different ways of establishing the country determined the fundamental differences in the system.
Ryan knew that the worries of the fairies in the lake were not unreasonable. Although the system of foreclosure of the serf household registration could allow the nobles to obtain a large amount of compensation in the short term, it was still essentially tilting the balance towards the serfs, and in some way, plundered the knights and nobles. asset.
Many of the knight nobles are not really stupid, they can tell.
But Ryan also has his own considerations and advantages over him.
First of all, Ryan’s reputation in the kingdom and even in the old world has reached its peak. Over the years, like a firefighter, he has helped the entire kingdom to resolve internal and external troubles. He is a hero of the kingdom. His immense prestige prevents the dukes from directly opposing it. His decision.
Secondly, as mentioned before, the Knight Kingdom and the Empire are facing huge external pressures. The bonus period of killing Agil-Red Eye is gone. Starting this year, Curona and Le Angouran along the northern coast The Lyonace has already been invaded sporadically by the Norsca longship, and more and more frequently.
In this case, the serfs would be willing to make concessions, and the nobles would be willing to make concessions. In this world, the most important thing is to live.
Finally, there is the issue of dwarves’ water conservancy projects and the promotion of new farming tools. In recent years, Bellegar and his Anglande clan have contracted almost all water conservancy projects in Brittania and the promotion of new farm tools for dwarves. To summarize briefly, there is no longer a 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 are naturally 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 Definitely not.
The fairy in the lake walked into the bedroom. At the end of October, the climate of the fairy tower in the lake was gradually shrouded in coldness. The goddess' dress today is simple and elegant without losing a sense of nobleness, full of fairy spirit, she stepped on the milky white stumbling block. Walking in the room with high heels, the goddess wrinkled a pair of beautiful golden eyebrows, and reached out to touch Ryan's forehead: "The ransom of the serf must not be too low, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
"Yes, Ryan, you have to know that the gods belong to the gods, and the mortals belong to mortals." The lake **** witch Mogiana also said: "If this action is collectively opposed by all the dukes, then it is the lady's oracle. I can't help you."
"This ransom must not be small." Ryan thought about it carefully and said, "My suggestion is that first of all, it cannot be achieved with a single two-year effort. Secondly, different principalities have different economic levels and cannot be unified standards. In my territory, the household registration of a serf who redeem a person is fifteen gold crowns. If it is the entire immediate family, including parents, wives and children, then 50 gold crowns per household. What is the price?"
The fairy in the lake thought about it carefully, then nodded: "If it is this price, it should be acceptable. Most serfs in your territory are rich, and some people can get the money."
"Then it is, first of all pilots in my territory and the Duchy of Winford, and don't extend it to the whole country for the time being." Ryan was relieved to see the lake fairy approving, and he went on to say: "My territory and Francois's The territory is the most prosperous area in the entire kingdom, followed by Poldero. If everything 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 gently, walked to the window, and through the window sill, she cast her gaze to the distance covered by the dense fog: "I Just to remind you, don’t let serfs find it too easy to get free, and at the same time don’t let the knights and nobles feel that even if serfs become free people, they still let them slaughter them. You need to grasp the yardstick. Don't almost lose control of your subordinates like the Sun Knight under your command."
"Well, that's right." Morjana completely obeyed the will of the fairy in the lake.
Morgiana was talking about an incident that happened with Juan Carlos, Baron Biocarri of the Duchy of Mousillon, when Ryan was away.
After Juan became a baron, he 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 just like Ryan, he recruited serfs and formed infantry as well. At the same time, with his amazing diplomatic ability, he persuaded the wood elves to join the war.
The time was very bitter at the beginning. Moussilon was newly built, and Juan’s territory had serious security problems, the lingering vampire army, the Skaven under the hills of orphans, and the beasts in the Arden Forest. Human tribes come and go from time to time. Even the Biokari Castle, which is used as a government place, cannot completely escape the war. Juan has constantly launched security wars. He saw the hard work of the serf infantry fighting, so he increased his welfare benefits, except for food and beverages. In addition to living, additional military payments are also issued.
Juan’s kindness did not make the serfs grateful. On the contrary, the serf soldiers began to become lazy and unwilling to fight. After enjoying the benefits and receiving the extra military payment in the barracks, they were not interested in fighting, even if they were caught. Catching up on the battlefield is also a passive sabotage.
Juan quickly discovered this problem. He found that because of the excessively high military pay, the soldiers were unwilling to fight hard, and the combat effectiveness declined. The young baron immediately decisively ordered the abolition of the existing infantry battalion, which almost caused the soldiers to mutiny. The elf helped Juan suppress, he was almost stuck in a tavern and couldn't get out!
At this time, Juan realized why Ryan strictly controlled the welfare and salary of the serf infantry under his command. The salary of more than a dozen copper coins a week was just enough to go to the bar to spend once every week on the day of rest, and relax.
Want to make a fortune, want to be promoted? Want to go to the bar often for a drink and improve your life?
Fight hard!
The outcome of this incident was that Mogiana intervened, and it was over after more than a dozen serfs were hanged in one breath. Not only Mogiana did not want to see the end of the incident, but also Juan and Musilon did not want to see it. Yes, in the end it was a situation of three losses. 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 were unwilling to accept the ending of the cancellation of benefits. It was a private rumor that Juan The level of this baron from a foreign country is really not good.
Ryan just smiled after learning about it. This is considered a trial in his growth. I hope Juan can learn from it.
"I see, my lady." Ryan stood up, and he walked to the lake fairy and looked at the dense fog outside the tower with her: "I know very well, one of my brothers once said, No matter how huge a reward is, it is meaningless if it is available without challenge."
"Very good." The fairy in the lake took the initiative to take Ryan's arm, and the goddess opened her mouth. She suddenly discovered that she had nothing to guide Ryan.
That’s not bad. He is growing faster and faster. When he met Ryan, he was just a little knight who needed his own help. Now, he has grown into a big tree in the sky, not only supporting the entire kingdom. , And can protect yourself effectively.
The fairy in the lake allowed her ankle-length blonde hair to hang down to the ground. She took Ryan and sat on the sofa chair in front of the fireplace. Chai, the goddess and Ryan discussed the details carefully, and Mojianna talked for a while and went to rest.
Ryan explained his thoughts to the fairy in the lake. In fact, he believed that excessive welfare was not good for the whole 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 in the previous life. If 996 is not my Ryan’s brother, this kind of nonsense, completely remarks from the perspective of capitalists, that is obviously The capitalists' malicious intimidation and coercive temptation of workers use love, reward, hard work, and social responsibility to avoid the importance and distorted the key words to cover up their ugly true colors.
Ryan 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?
National medical care is free, education is free, 14 months of salary a year, one month of paid vacation every year, and pensions from the age of 40.
What's the ending? No one works hard anymore. Everyone is busy enjoying benefits. Anyway, if they don’t work hard, they can enjoy similar benefits. Who still works hard?
Debt crisis, economic collapse.
People are inert.
Speaking of this, Ryan asked towards the fairy in the lake: "Lilith, is it the same on Osuan? People enjoy high welfare and high income? People are not divided between nobles and commoners?"
"What? Ryan, my champion, do you still want to visit Osu'an?" The fairy in the lake smiled. She enjoyed the time alone with Ryan so much. Hearing Ryan's question, the goddess swayed her back and forth. With a pair of black silk and beautiful legs, she took Ryan's hand, and gently tapped Ryan's palm with a Qianqianyu finger: "The society of high elves cannot be imitated by humans, Ryan."
"If you have the opportunity to visit Osu'an, 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. Temples are built there."
"Nobles and civilians? You think too much. High elves are more concerned about blood and family pedigree than any race. From the perspective of Gao Jing, blood is everything. Lothern now has more foreigners than locals...Asu Yan's The temple was built on an island outside the city of Lothern. It was not built inside the city of Lothern." The fairy in the lake thought for a moment, and shook her head repeatedly: "But I can be sure that Asu Yan will not welcome you. , Not only will he not let you enter his main temple, he will even let Captain Kadroin of the Phoenix Guard expel you,"
"Why?" Ryan was a little strange.
"Your current strength can threaten him, and Asu Yan will definitely not like you. He will only let people he like enter his temple to see the series of murals and scrolls of prophecy he left behind." The middle fairy seems to be full of disgust for Asu Yan: "You are eager to change, eager to prevent tragedy and destruction, but Asu Yan believes that the end of everything in the world is doomed, and he hates anyone to interfere in the established path, you Do you understand what I mean?"
"Then just sit and wait for death?" After listening to the fairy in the lake, Ryan had nothing to say when he recalled the actions of the high elf, the main **** of heaven.
"Asu Yan 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: "Asu Yan has predicted that the chaotic evil **** will destroy all things in the world, at the end of the day. It will bring the world to an end. Ten thousand years ago, all the history of the elves was engraved on the murals, even including the betrayal of the Witch King Malekis, but all high elves who have seen the murals and scrolls of prophecy must swear Serving Asu Yan for life and staying silent, it is more like a curse, because no elves can get rid of, they become Phoenix guards, guarding Asu Yan's main temple 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, that's no problem, but if you want to be welcomed there, respect and discuss ways to fight chaos together, don't even think about it." The fairy in the lake is cold. Tell Ryan a **** reality: "The achievements you are proud of are not worth mentioning in front of the high elves. Warlord Tyrion will not listen to you, not a word, and you don’t even want to see Ellarelli. The'low' human beings can never enter Avalon, the palace of the Eternal Queen, unless they invade, as are Athalion the Ruthless and Imric the Prince of Calledo. Instead of working on the high elves, you might as well send I hope that the dark servant maid of you will see if she can order the Pale Queen’s underworld army and elite executioners."
"Hahahaha~" Ryan even laughed: "I see, I think too much, Lilith."
"If Asu Yan is willing to listen to me, many tragedies will not happen. If the elven gods can put aside their pride and prejudice and unite, then the mortal world will have at least a few more chances of winning, but I am disappointed one after another. Finally, I chose to come to Bretania. From the goddess of the moon, Lilith, to the fairy in the lake, it was for the new world plan." The fairy in the lake sighed: “It’s all right now. The plan for the new world is already because of you and you. The appearance of my father shattered like a bubble of sweet dreams."
"Evasion won'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 have no plans for now, but I have an idea." The fairy in the lake stretched out her hand to gently tidy up her skirt. She kicked off the high heels on the black silk stockings and jade feet, folded her hands around her knees, and sat curled up on the sofa. Chair: "Ryan, you will fully support me, right?"
"What are your thoughts first?" Ryan murmured: "Otherwise, I'm not always relieved, my lady, you always think a lot."
"I'm thinking, we might be able to find a chance to steal Asu Yan's sacred fire!" The fairy country in the lake showed a hint of sly on her face: "Since Asu Yan doesn't want to do anything, we don't want to do our best, then we will find a way to treat him Replace it!"
"Ryan, you and me, create a new Aso Yan!"
