Chapter 49: Twenty-three. Joy with trouble (4)

Li Lin never thought of luxury words like [Human Rights], even if there were, they must be used for sophistry. Now the magicians are better to learn to adjust themselves to serve Niforheim and Li Lin as soon as possible. With a pair of sharp eyes watching their every move, Li Lin will send them to as soon as he resists, escapes, or cannot adapt.
　　 Never seen the famous quote written on the gate of Auschwitz, but fully understood the meaning to be expressed, and the magicians even lost their thoughts of crying.
　　 Endured a burst of laughter that caused the elves' expression muscles to twitch fiercely, and the meeting had to pause for a short time in the suppressed snoring.
　　 "Okay, gentlemen. Let me introduce the next work plan."
　　 The white short stick rubs and slides quickly on the board. The words "Cotton (Baumwolle)" are left on the black square board.
　　 "In addition to continuing to grow wheat, we will also grow cotton."
　　Buzzing conversations filled the audience, and after a small open space like a beehive, Tier raised his hand and stood up and asked:
　　 "Why is cotton? Is it possible to make porcelain?"
　　 Elves of different ages nodded their heads together, and they saw the beautiful porcelain made of mud plastic moldings, painted patterns, and fired it. After taking it out of the valley, it was easy to exchange many good things. The villagers were enchanted by Alberich’s workshop. Before Li Lin spoke, the Emir patriarch made suggestions to the guards for special care.
Mr. Patriarch, who always has subtle resistance to new things in the outside world (especially related to Li Lin), can take the initiative to find Li Lin and express his willingness to provide security. This abnormal behavior can be seen from the experience of the old elves. The appearance is so stubborn. In the face of the new things that can really show the effect, the old patriarch is actually very thoughtful. The villagers are also actively preparing to learn how to make porcelain and exchange more food, tools and daily necessities from outside the valley...
　　The whole village fully agreed with the necessity of porcelain, and was preparing to gather all labor to invest in expanding the scale of mass production of porcelain. However, Li Lin turned his focus to cotton, and the faltering cold water really made the elves feel difficult to understand and accept.
　　 "Porcelain will continue to be produced, and there is no contradiction between growing cotton and producing porcelain."
　　 The white short rod that turned back to the origin with the index finger as the center axis stopped, and the tone of worry was turned into a joke.
　　 "It's just that expanding the scale of porcelain production has encountered two problems that are difficult to solve and cannot circumvent in a short time. The first is-insufficient labor."
　　The listeners were commotion again, and some sneering noises were mixed into the unbelievable whispers. To the elves, Li Lin's explanation seemed to be perfunctory and lack of labor? The spirits who were determined to develop the porcelain manufacturing industry by focusing on how fast and economical they were, and who carried out the general mobilization-type national production movement, did not think it was a problem at all.
　　 "The cultivation of crops and the protection of villages require the participation of young and middle-aged people. Women and children are not suitable for heavy manual labor. From which part of the labor gap to expand the production scale of porcelain?
　　 asked cunningly, the whisper of whispers dissipated without a trace, and the venue was quiet as if it had been disbanded.
　　 The smiley face that easily listed the reasons continued to show humility and peace, and the sharpness of seeing through the social system and the thinking pattern of the residents was almost concealed.
　　Planting food crops to ensure that you can fill your stomach on weekdays and survive the difficult winter is the greatest satisfaction of farmers who do not distinguish between human elves. This small, ordinary desire has become so entrenched over time that it has become a kind of obsession. They have an instinctive resistance and doubts about the cultivation of crops other than food crops, and generally only grow economic crops such as cotton not more than necessary.
　　The closed peasant economy cannot be expected to reverse its thinking in a short period of time, but it is still effective to give a side-by-side argument and then give a convincing result.
　　 "Another question... what should I say. It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely a problem on the human side, but we have to bear..."
　　 The mood of the audience was completely mobilized by the vague language that slowed down the speed and lowered the voice, and the depressed words sighed out of Li Lin's mouth.
　　 "Purchase right."
　　Unlike elves who have little contact with human society, two human magicians, former members of the lower aristocracy circle, first understood the problem pointed out by Li Lin. The expression of disgust immediately followed by praise was wonderful.
The royal preemption or Purveyance originated from Aruba is a financial privilege enjoyed by the three royal families of Aruba, Charlemagne and Castile. To put it bluntly, it lists a lot of moving reasons to talk about the rationality and necessity of this privilege. However, in the eyes of civilians, the whole notice only needs to be written with a vocabulary to summarize the whole content, so that it can save a lot of ink.
　　【Grab】.
　　Still under the magnificent rhetoric, only the vested interests of the royal family, bureaucracy, nobles, big merchants and other greedy nature and thief style.
"Human kings usually appoint royal officials, nominees recommended by the nobles, and merchants familiar with the local conditions in the nobles' domains as purchasing officers. When the king needs daily life or cruising, the appointed purchasing officers will go everywhere. With regard to market prices and unlimited quantities of priority purchases of [necessities of life] for members of the royal family, the purchasing officer has the right to appoint a merchant to supply products exclusively for the royal family. The price is set by the purchasing officer, and the payment is often owed. Forcible buying, the purchasing officer has the right to detain him."
　　 The uproar above the commotion came to the small meeting place. Although Li Lin's terminology was reserved, it was not difficult for the elves to imagine the terrible scene brought by such unlimited privileges.
Strong buying is the most direct manifestation of this kind of economic plunder, whether it is carriage, wine, wheat, malt, oats, cattle, sheep, pigs, clothes, bedding, tables and chairs, pots and pans... only to be considered royal life entertainment If needed, the purchasing officer will take someone to search the house, leaving only a wooden code with a low amount of money. The seller who wants to cry without tears and food and clothing [seller] holds the wooden code and waits for the Finance Department. I don’t know when Only then will the discounted arrears be honored.
"Wang Ting officials, their relatives and friends, and the family members of service officers and soldiers can be exempted, and the large nobles who are entitled can not afford to buy. The small aristocracy can buy the writ of exemption from purchase at the price of 2 large Ecu (Gros.Ecu), churches, monasteries and Urban residents pay bribes to purchase officials to exempt purchases. Peasants with limited financial resources and no financial strength have become the main burden of purchases. Under normal circumstances, purchase officials never buy from rich and powerful knights, but only from poverty. Those with the ability to pay are forced to buy food. In addition, the purchase and taxation are carried out at the same time, and they will be thrown into prison as long as the purchase is completed without paying taxes."
　　 "It's disgusting, but what does it have to do with us?"
　　Freia raised her hand to tell the feelings of the elves-very disgusting, but it's nothing to do. After all, no elf who has just passed the food and clothing line a little bit is willing to pay attention to the injustice of human society that seems to be far away, and there is no human peasant who has overflowed with compassion and sympathy and who has not seen and looks.
　　 has nothing to do with us-the elves repeated it in their hearts.
　　Li Lin's lip line was bent, and the sharp arc of the sheath showed an expression of insight and teasing.
"Okay, Freya. Suppose you are a big businessman or aristocrat with purchasing rights. You find that a popular item called "Porcelain" is starting to be popular on the market, and you contact the only one who can make this thing. Guy-of course it means me, trying to get a slice of the profit from near-infinite profits, but I somehow refused the hand that stretched out to my purse. What would you do if you were boycotted?"
　　 "Designate you to be exclusively for the royal family...Mama God!!"
　　 Like a puppet, I want people to squeeze a few red face brushes into a corpse-like gray defeat. The unfinished deduction is supposed to make other elves have the same ugly reaction.
"In addition to forcible buying, corruption and bribery, purchasing power also means collusion between officials and businessmen. Big merchants who have money dealing with purchasing officials or who are buying officials are very good at using their power to fight competitors. Prior to its strength, rushing to expand the scale of porcelain production will prematurely attract insects that smell the smell. The pig we have taught will probably notify the tax officer if it knows that we are making porcelain. As a result, these annoying flies Only accepting exploitation and using force to defend our achievements, but exposing Nievolheim-making painful choices between the two is never a pleasant thing."
The elves who were sitting on the small bench stiffly nodded and agreed. There are many moments in the life of the wise species that need to be chosen. There are also difficult choices that make them headache, but no one wants to encounter A and B. Hell is the second. Choose one.
　　 also doesn't want to choose between two hells. Small human businessmen, handicraftsmen, and farmers choose not to go to the formal market. Disperse and hide assets as much as possible to avoid being fancy by buying officials, and avoiding official sight to privately bring all kinds of commodities to black market transactions. The stupidity and greed of the royal family directly stimulated the development of the underground economy. The production and life of farmers who should have paid taxes have suffered greatly. The royal family’s procurement rights are completely synonymous with [tyranny]. The people hate the object of rejection. The infamous [] (Note).
　　 "Changing the production direction is a helpless move, but the cotton plantation can also make us profitable, and at the same time it can also be used to make new weapons and enrich the armament."
　　 The smiled face that retired shows a mysterious and profound sense of mystery. It is difficult to hook up [Cotton] and [Profit], and the elves who are unable to connect them with [Weapon] no longer whisper. Li Lin’s foresight convinced them, but not unconditional trust. Even if he has created several miracles beyond common sense, it does not mean that he has always been able to do so. On the other hand, the villagers sincerely hoped that the dark-haired boy would show miracles, and use his extraordinary wisdom to make impossible impossible again.
　　Contradictory mentality creates a quiet listening atmosphere. The elf plus two human eyes staring at the white short stick that dances again~EbookFREE.me~ It seems that it is a wand that writes gorgeous spells in the air.
　　The end of the elegant letters ended the construction of the mantra, and the words "dumping" and "textile" were as intangible as Li Lin's mysterious smile.

　　Explanation of small theater time
　　 Niederhogg: What is [], can you eat it?
　　Li Lin: It’s better to say that it’s used for [eating] instead of [pushing]. Sao Nian who wants to become [human self-propelled artillery] and [humanoid bulldozer] is very longing for that...
　　 Niederhogg: Oh, what does it look like?
　　Li Lin: droitduseigneur (original French, literal translation into English is equivalent to rightofthelord), that is, the right of the master. As the name implies, the noble ruler possesses the power of the women under his jurisdiction. In the Christian society of Europe in the Middle Ages, the first night of enjoying the bride became the right of the ruler, and became a means of possessing all serfs and playing with women. The nature of "" has completely changed. For feudal lords, the young girl in the serf is equal to a free prostitute and an unspecified concubine. France calls "" the right to open thighs". This custom has been preserved for centuries. Many countries in the European region have developed laws based on similar customs and held women's power and maintained them for a long time.
　　 Niederhogg: Fortunately! I am not a woman, nor a serf...
　　Li Lin: No, some readers have indicated that as my CP object, I should exercise against you. (Mysterious smile emerges)
　　 Niederhogg: Ya-Ya-Ya-Ya Li butterfly! ! ! ! (Under the pink curtain, BGM "Argentina, don't cry for me" sounds...)
