Please abide by the Basic Law

Chapter 183 Shut up, we're talking about freedom!

To say directly, "Come, come, buy my things" is of course lack of thoughtfulness, even an "upright" king like Alexander would not buy it obediently.

According to the coincidence and development of history, different countries will quickly attract relevant magic professionals to gather after the bright spots appear in different fields. Coupled with the will law of the boss, gradually, each country will develop different Breadwinner.

Among them, Luoxie is quite special. The "Golden Tax Official" system has attracted many big magic companies. For example, the headquarters of the Magic Carriage Company is located in the capital of Luoxie. Although Alexander is not very interested in business, but the basic national income I still have a good idea in my heart, and I haven't done anything to shake this system.

"Then why didn't he participate in the battle between the Magic Carriage Company and us?" Cecil asked strangely, "If he made a move, the outcome is uncertain."

"Of course it's because he has a king cavalry by his side." Langdon said matter-of-factly.

Cecil understood as soon as he thought about it, and frowned: "Then why don't the Gay Knights help us and not the magic carriage rules?"

Langdon's eyes became subtle: "What the hell are you thinking?"

Cecil pursed his lips, this is what he would naturally think of, okay, he's not a fool!

"You are from the Gay Knights, so it's definitely different for you and not for others." Langdon hesitated after finishing speaking decisively, "Of course there's another reason that the Gay Knights can't grow up when they're mature. If we strive for more benefits in the magic carriage firm, we will be different..."

Langdon stopped talking, and Cecil didn't say anything. They all thought of a problem: the Gay Knights have not gained relatively large benefits in the Middle Kingdom so far. Although there must be indirect benefits, there are no direct benefits. So exaggerated, in this way, it is an unreasonable fantasy to ask the Gay Knights to always stand on Cecil's side without principle.

"Anyway, I'll pay attention." Langdon said, "Don't think about it too much, I'm on your side no matter what."

This repeated confession made Cecil a little ashamed, as if he was the kind of partner who was suspicious and thinking all day long. However, the situation was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to think longer and more carefully. Suspicious like the emperors in history?

Cecil now understands why most of the emperors are suspicious. If he meets a careful and anxious person who thinks all day long, it will be strange if he doesn't die early.

Except for the "little conflict" between Luoxie and Holy Thunder on the first day, the kings who came later were much more ordinary. St. Benzie remained unreached.

Of course, these days are delicious treats, Cecil tried his best to maintain a comfortable bottom line without magic, such as using a fan to create an air-conditioning effect on ice cubes, serving smoothies with cold drinks and ice cream, beer and barbecue at night is even better. It is very popular with the kings. Alexander especially likes the devil spicy food. In his words, "a man should eat chili until he has blood in his stool the next day." Many kings were dragged by him to experience an "unforgettable morning". No wonder this guy is looking for a "private solution" at a young age.

The merchants who followed the king were distributed in the city. During this time, the second ring road was brightly lit every night, and many people wandered around. The local merchants in Yuecheng even tried their best to attract customers. Many foreign merchants were a little surprised to see the merchants in Yuecheng advertise foreign products at the door, and some solicitors fought to decide who could advertise at the door by force...

Freshness is freshness, and there is no order at all. Langdon told Cecil that it is probably because the people brought by the king have a somewhat official background. The king does not say anything, so they dare not just start buying like this. It is okay to buy something privately. , but that's only how much, far from what Cecil expected.

Cecil has researched the economic products of each country, and Rochester has many areas that are repeated, but Rochester's system is different, more like a super underworld that collects protection fees. Alexander himself really didn't put merchants or products It is regarded as the meaning of the country, and the supremacy of force is even more respected.

To a certain extent, it is correct to think so. If you have a gun, are you afraid that you will not have food?You can grab it too!

Cecil was so annoying these two days that he couldn't sleep at night so he went to the research center. He passed by the conference room and found that the lights were on. He ran over curiously, and as soon as he pushed the door, he bumped into six faces, including Lan Everyone in Dengnei is handsome, with different styles and styles, which made him stunned for a while.

The king of the house rides.

Cecil was stunned, but the royal knights reacted quickly. They all stood up and saluted with their hands touching their hearts. Langdon laughed before bowing: "Don't be fooled, my dear is from the regiment." , used to be the Knight Commander's."

Alexander's King Qi Bei raised his eyebrows, turned around and said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Why am I lying to you?" Langdon sat firmly, without moving. "You guys are too ignorant of the group's information."

There was a sound of exhalation, and the Wang Qimen complained one after another. The standing posture with their chests upright suddenly became hunchbacked, and some people sat back in their chairs, and by the way, they put their feet on the table, which provoked the Wang Qi who was next to him. Qi Qi slapped him angrily and still slapped him with a smile.

How should I put it, this kind of atmosphere of "being your own person" is really good, Cecil sat down happily and sat down, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you." Roja Forest's Wang Qi smiled and blinked his eyes as if there were small hooks, "Dear Your Majesty, how did you take Langdon down? This guy swore never As a Wangqi, when I heard the news, I thought it was fake, and I even bet with my friends, and I lost ten krams in the end."

"Hehe, I have great charm." Cecil said proudly.

There was booing, and Langdon looked at Cecil with a smile, his eyes were very gentle.

"Could you stop being so affectionate in front of me." Crandall's king cavalry said angrily, "I'm already very annoyed at serving an old man, and you're still winking at each other here?"

"Didn't you say at the time that Crandall is good and rich, and the king is old, so he definitely doesn't have much time to toss about." Alpha's king cavalry laughed and patted the table and said, "In the end, the king didn't have much interest in it. , but his princes are very idle, thinking about how to kill the old man all day long, let me tell you, these princes invite him to dinner all day long, trying to find out how the old man is doing in bed, is it possible Suddenly died on the bed hahahaha..."

"You want to do this trick?" Uncle Wang Qi of Holy Thunder said in surprise, "Didn't you say that the old king is not interested in you?"

"That's right, because that old man can't be tough!" Crandall's king rider's expression turned even worse, "But he always drags me around, there is something wrong, if this continues, I will apply for death escape , I can't stand it, I want to have an affair with his sons!"

All the royal knights in the room were laughing and banging on the table, Cecil suddenly realized: Ah, the Gay Knights are back again, this is their style of painting!

Langdon cleared his throat vigorously, and said, "My dear is here too, stop chatting and talk about business."

Cecil was taken aback: "Are you talking about something serious here?" He thought it was a gossip gathering of the royal knights, but he didn't expect that there was something serious about it.

"You're here, just by the way." Langdon said.

"Isn't it called Russell and Oakes?" Cecil asked.

Langdon asked strangely, "Is it necessary?"

"Yes." Cecil said solemnly, "Maybe they are still awake at the moment, and they are making out. We can't be the only ones busy here."

The king knights exchanged glances and slapped the table at the same time.

"That's right! That's right! Call me! Hurry up!"

"That's right! Why are we so busy here, they are so happy?"

"Agree!"

"As expected of one of us, Your Majesty is right!"

"That's it!"

Ten minutes later, the whole room welcomed the black-faced Russell and Oakes. When they saw them come in, they looked up and down slowly, and laughed when they saw the hickey on Oakes' neck.

"You sexless bastards!" Oakes scolded unceremoniously. "A bunch of rotten people!"

The royal knights laughed even louder.

Come here, just sit down and discuss things.

Langdon's first sentence made everyone quiet: "St. Benzie is not coming, and neither is the Coastal Alliance of Elma."

Cecil asked in surprise, "When did the news come?"

"Just heard." Langdon said, "I received their news that I will not participate this time. It is because of some internal problems in Elma that there is a dispute over who represents the Alma Coastal Alliance to participate in this meeting. It seems that It must be a power struggle between the East and the West, their country is not a king system, but a parliamentary system, the leader of the parliament serves as the supreme leader, which is changed every ten years and is elected by the councilors of each city."

"Fuck, this system is quite advanced, isn't it?" Cecil asked in surprise, "They haven't fallen apart like this?"

"Because they are all port cities, and their style is quite special." Langdon said, "their supreme leader does not have king cavalry, so I don't know how to say it. Anyway, they can't come after sending the letter, and there is the Holy Spirit. Banze can't say anything either."

"Why are they?" Cecil didn't understand, "Have we ever had anything to do with them?"

"No, but St. Benzie is a slave." Langdon said meaningfully, "Same as St. Panier."

And it is also the location of No. 2 well.

Cecil seemed to realize something: "So they are expressing a front with St. Panier?"

"Almost." Afa's King Qi interjected, "This group of countries with sacred meanings in their names have had close relations in history. Now, because of the same system, the relationship is better than other countries, just like Holy Thunder..."

Uncle King Qi of Sacred Thunder nodded: "The three kings of Sacred Thunder were still in slavery before."

Cecil asked curiously, "Why did you change it later?"

"I don't know. I've been inquiring about this for a long time, but I didn't find out." Uncle Wang Qi shrugged his shoulders, "It's not good enough if you can't get in bed, that guy is really too straight, why don't you change to a female look bring it on?"

"He picked you by himself." Afa's Wang Qi laughed, "I guess he thinks you are a knight, straight men's taste is like this."

A group of kings began to criticize their king's various "straight men's tastes". Cecil's eyes were wide open. Most kings are all men and women, and there is no one who only loves men. For example, Alexander is already quite obsessed with Baker. That's right, it doesn't prevent him from marrying a wife and having children. Now the queen has a lot of dukes and countesses, and they have more than ten children.

"Still with me most of the time, but I think it's about time to get away." Baker said calmly, "I know that guy has too many secrets, what can he say to me now, it's a bit too much Care, I think that sooner or later he will find a way to get rid of me. Or, in his mind, a king cavalry who sacrificed for the king is a good king cavalry, this is kind of romantic."

"Your family still has such brains?" Uncle Wang Qi said a little uncertainly, "Isn't it always rumored that he is very straightforward?"

"Frankness is honesty, but people always learn more as they get older." Baker shook his head, "As long as he is a king, you all know what he will become one day."

A group of people nodded one after another, and told a few examples of the seniors in the group.

With the comparison, Cecil noticed the difference between Langdon and him, the unreserved and intimate atmosphere. He couldn't help but look at the big cat, and got a look of "I told you so", and endured it. I couldn't help laughing.

The room suddenly fell silent, and Cecil found that the other royal knights were looking at him silently: "What are you doing?"

"You two are too obvious, aren't you?" Baker asked with a half-smile, "Is that okay, Your Highness Langdon?"

"It's so good, if you are not convinced, you can find someone in the regiment." Langdon laughed.

"I...well, in the future." Baker didn't know what to think of, and said with emotion, "This kind of thing can't be forced, the regiment is indeed the world we live in, but it's too small, compared with the outside world. It's too small."

"No, the world always develops slowly." Cecil said sympathetically, "There are hundreds of millions of people in my hometown who think homosexuality is normal. Homosexuality, but the more prosperous and peaceful a society will be, the more open it will be. Human beings will naturally start to pursue spirituality after satisfying their basic survival needs. At that time, compared with homosexuality, some people will think necrophilia and foot fetishism It's all normal."

The expressions of the king riders are different, some are disgusted, some are surprised, and some are pensive.

"Look, the most important thing is that we have to find a way to let most people in this world live a good life." Cecil said casually, "As the saying goes, people who are full will not be so sensitive and hostile." , will be tolerant to others, so, is there any way for you to let the king buy my goods?"

Alpha's Wang Qi laughed: "After talking for a long time, you still want to cheat money."

"Let's make money together." Cecil hurriedly said, "You can also take the opportunity to do it and set up some business agents in those countries. I guarantee that my products will definitely wipe out the existing industry, trust me!"

The king riders looked at each other and showed interested expressions at the same time. After all, it is the easiest alliance to form if the self-interest is consistent with the general interest. It is an illusion to win over people whose interests are completely different. In most cases, it is mutual loss. A small part in pursuit of the greater common good.

When the king's knights began to discuss how to infuse the king with ecstasy soup and how to make money in the country, Langdon leaned into Cecil's ear and said, "Have you thought of a way?"

"What way?" Cecil didn't understand for a moment.

"A way to convince the king to buy," Langdon said.

Cecil smiled: "Well, how should I put it, I have a little idea."

On the second day, Cecil finally gathered the six kings together, and all the kings except the Black Sea had kings riding.After experiencing the "slap in the face" on the first day, Alexander of Rochester lost a lot of arrogance, Heidenholm of Holy Thunder also softened a lot, and the kings also communicated with each other, and the later kings did not come up to show off The process has been completed, saving him a lot of trouble.

After dawdling for so long, it's time to get down to business.

After everyone sat down, Cecil said solemnly: "This time I invite you to come because the evil that affects the peace of this world has arrived and must be eradicated!"

The kings were all calm, but the corner of Alexander's mouth slightly raised: "That's right!"

"Think about the situation in your country. Those people hold wealth, power, and status. They do nothing all day long, plundering the wealth of innocent people, and even think that they are some big players." Cecil said seriously, watching Alexander's The smile grew bigger and bigger, and he finally got to the point, "That's slavery!"

Alexander's smile froze, doubts appeared in his eyes, and the other kings also looked confused.

Cecil inquired. Although the only countries that practiced complete slavery were St. Benzie and St. Panier, many nobles still had slavery-like systems in private, such as "lifetime employment system", "redemption system" and so on. It's all disguised slavery, and these things are not limited to those two countries, they are common behaviors.In contrast, the king seldom implements slavery, because it is not necessary, and theoretically the entire country belongs to him.

Cecil raised it suddenly, which puzzled all the kings present.

"You may think this is irrelevant, but please think about it from another angle. If a person becomes a slave of a certain nobleman, he may only serve tea and water for the nobleman in his life. This nobleman will not serve the country for him. Pay taxes. If he has some assets, marries a woman, has some children, and does some small business, then no matter how much it is, it can always create some value for us, right?"

Cecil deliberately put the accent on "we", and the expressions of the kings were a little more relaxed. If talking about those who hate the nobles, the kings must be one of them. They wish that everyone except him is ordinary. Only in this way can we ensure the maximum concentration of wealth. However, this is impossible. A king cannot do everything. He always needs some assistants. These assistants will gradually become new as time goes by and the decentralization of power. Even if this one is eliminated, new ones will grow up, not to mention that some hereditary kings may be grown up by some important ministers, which is even more troublesome.

"It's just some small profits." King Alpha said.

"The accumulation of less makes more." Cecil said, "What's more, merchants have a little advantage over mages. Any actions they have to pay taxes. What about transportation, mages? Well, it can’t be said that they don’t need it at all, but it’s much less in comparison. Even if the products produced by mages are sold at a high price, it’s just their own profit. How much tax can you collect? What's more, the production efficiency of mages is too low!"

The king of Crandall laughed. This is an "old" king who is no more than 40 years old. In this world, an old man is over 30 years old. Alexander is only 21 years old, and he is called the right age.To be honest, it was quite unexpected that this king would come to Cecil. As the head of the magical power - he had disputes with Tambunita a few years ago, but as Foster III became weaker and weaker, this title became more and more important. He has moved to Crandall, and if he is ten years younger, Crandall's number one country will sit extremely firmly.

"How efficient magic is, I'm afraid His Majesty the Central King doesn't understand it?" said the king of Crandall.

Cecil was not angry, and calmly touched a piece of silk from under the table. The pure red reflected an extremely gorgeous luster on the silk: "How much silk can a mage produce in a day?" He paused and smiled, " Oh wait, I forgot to ask what level of mage can produce silk of this quality?"

The kings took the silk rolls in silence and circulated them, thinking about each other.

Of course, Cecil did his homework, and said to himself: "A mid-level mage can produce about six rolls of silk a day, which is the limit, and it can only be one color. I will count all his magic in one month. 180 volumes." He held back, and waited until all the king's attention was on him before he said slowly, "In my city, a small workshop is the kind of small workshop with only two or three people. As a businessman, 180 rolls are only a week’s production. You don’t need magical talent, or even any advanced knowledge. You just need to buy a textile machine and learn it, and then work every day. Anyone can do it, including 12-year-old children. When the slaves are liberated, they must work to support themselves, not just silk, I think you have heard a lot these days, those industries need a lot of manpower, I am ashamed to say, the merchants of Moon City They all crazily shouted at me for manpower, wishing that I would start a war to snatch people. Everyone is different, there are so many manpower in the first place, but they can't be used for the really suitable places, what a pity!"

There was a sound of loose chairs, and the kings moved their bodies involuntarily. Naturally, they will not be idle these days. They can clearly feel the new products and features of Moon City, which is also the result of Cecil's deliberate laissez-faire.

"Twelve years old is not considered a child." The King of the Black Sea said something.

Cecil laughed: "Of course, I'm just a metaphor."

Alexander said: "Business is business. What does this have to do with slavery?"

"Slavery has gathered too many useless people, and these people cannot generate benefits for the country." Cecil said slowly, "Slavery is so evil, people are naturally free, and all people are born peaceful...peaceful and free , as rulers, shouldn't we guarantee that our citizens have such power? Liberate them, clean up slavery, and let more people devote themselves to normal life. This is what we should do as kings, isn't it? ? When more goods are produced, we can provide more choices for the rest of the world, which is a good thing!"

The kings exchanged a look.

Alexander first said: "That's right! Slavery is evil, and the evil must be wiped out!"

The kings agreed one after another, calling it "evil", but no one mentioned the phrase "cannot generate benefits for the country", as if they hadn't heard it.

"Freedom, you are born with it." Cecil said loudly, "Slave countries like St. Benzier and St. Panier should not exist at all, including the slaves of the nobles. It is our responsibility to liberate the people!"

The kings praised it unanimously. Of course, this is only a preliminary intention, and many meetings are needed for the specific implementation.

The king of the Black Sea hesitated for a while, and said, "Other countries must have objections, right?"

Alexander said impatiently: "So what? Tell them to shut up, we are talking about freedom!"

Cecil: "..."
