Chapter 1179: Transformation of thoughts, natural semantic changes

The Savile leader is only a temporary rest point and material transfer station. Even if the Savile leader refuses all passing caravans, the huge benefits may not be able to give birth to a new rest point and transfer station.
In this regard, Chateau could only promise that Saville would welcome the arrival of any law-abiding businessmen, and was willing to provide appropriate convenience for the northern caravan, and his attitude was quite official.
If you can't change the status quo in a short period of time, it will at least allow yourself to get a share of it, accumulate the foundation for your own development, and it would be foolish not to participate at all.
But in the long run, it is necessary to fundamentally change the asymmetric trade relationship between Netheril and Comanso, and even the other countries!
In addition to the improvement of overall national strength, this also needed to change the Naiser's view of elves and even other alien races.
In contrast, the former is not a big problem. The Great Arcanist is the largest comprehensive national power influence factor, and Netheril is fully capable of launching more,
But the latter is very difficult.
It may not be so difficult to transform a person's thoughts, and even a spell can be completed if necessary, but it is too difficult to transform the thoughts of tens of thousands of people, and to transform such an entire social thought.
Even Xia Duo has inevitably developed a certain identity with the elf culture after experiencing many times of projecting the world incarnation of the elves.
This is not under his subjective control, but determined by the three views he formed in the past.
Of course, Xia Duo does not reject this point. Absorbing advanced foreign culture, taking its essence and removing its dross, has always been the only law for the growth of the civilization of his hometown.
But at least there must be a most basic cultural trump card as the ideological source of civilization, otherwise it will not be absorbed, but assimilated.
The Netheril civilization was enlightened by elves, and its development was almost full of traces of elves. Only in modern times did people begin to realize this.
The simple and pristine design of the Austrian Law Federation headquarters is an attempt, but apart from the Austrian Law Federation headquarters, Chateau rarely sees buildings other than the Elf style.
This is the case with architecture, food and clothing.
That is to say, Netheril's current objective material conditions are not yet satisfied, otherwise it would really be an alternative "land of elves".
…
The night before the melting snow race.
After Xia Duo and Niya talked about meeting the leaders of the several chambers of commerce during the day, they said: "These chambers of commerce have unusual backgrounds, and the news is very well-informed. Yesterday I also inquired about the Northland Alliance It may be established before the end of this year, when the Savile collar may truly prosper."
"How can it be so optimistic, it's just that there are more caravans, maybe it will bring a lot of trouble!" Niya looked quite annoyed.
She has lived in Saville since she was a child and has seen many troubles caused by caravans. Now that the number of caravans has increased, the first thing she thinks of is trouble.
After all, the Tower of Time is no longer in Savile Town, it is difficult to effectively suppress the casters in the town, and the income of the Tower of Time has far exceeded that.
The little benefit brought by the caravan passing through, in Niya's heart can no longer offset the possible troubles.
Xia Duo hadn’t thought of this. He continued to talk about his plan,
I think the port can be expanded, and a special material distribution center can be opened near the port. This can also regulate the territory’s commercial order and reduce the sudden increase in foreign merchants. The bad influence of the team on the territory."
"fair enough."
Niya's eyes lit up, and she felt that this was also good, and then she recalled the troubles that had occurred in the territory in the past, and added one more point:
"The commercial tax regulations in the Great Xia Code can be implemented in the port area. You have to send someone to it. This is also the beginning of the territory's introduction of the Great Xia Code!"
Xia Duo thought for a while, and agreed.
The Great Xia Code is not one or two more perfect than Savile’s flawed lord’s regulations, and it’s piloted from the port area, and the target is not the Savile. It’s just a good idea to see the effect.
After all, most of the laws related to commercial taxation are derived from the laws of the hometown in Xia Duo's memory, and there may be adjustments, but whether it can be applied to Netheril in the current era, he himself can't pack a vote.
In case of inadequacy, it can be corrected in time.
…
After talking about the business affairs, Xia Duo and Niya went to bed to rest. Because they were in the Austrian Federation, it was difficult for them to do funny things between husband and wife, so they came to bedtime night talk in the dark.
"Do you know Atwood?"
"Atwood? It seems to have some impression. It's an agricultural consultant in your territory? I heard you mentioned it before."
"Yes, he is not only Daxialing's agricultural consultant, but also a follower of the new natural concept!"
"The new concept of nature? Is it related to elves?" Niya asked curiously.
"Related and irrelevant."
Xia Duo sighed slightly. Even if it was Niya, he would think of elves when he mentioned nature. His theory is a heresy for elves, and even for many people who admire elven culture and elven thinking.
It was the first time that Niya officially introduced the new concept of nature, Xia Duo was still a little nervous, for fear that Niya would have a serious resistance.
He first said the "natural" Elvish vocabulary, and then explained to Niya who was already proficient in Elvish:
"In Elvish language, the meaning of'nature' is complicated. It means not only forest, earth, sky, ocean, but also sovereign, grace, and even creator. But in fact, when translated into Nati language,'nature' is often Translated into'forest'.
"This is not due to the improper translation of the original translator, but the semantic change of'nature' in modern Elvish language. Now it generally refers to'forest', especially among the druids!"
In fact, in the era of [Projection Plane · Melita Sucanvisa], the meaning of "nature" also included forest, earth, sky, and ocean.
Then it can be speculated that at the time of the main plane, that is, more than 10,000 years ago, the meaning of "natural" in Elvish was not as narrow as it is today.
Chateau speculated that it might be the emergence of the druids that UU reading www.uukanshu.com led to changes in the semantic development of "natural".
In the projection plane, there are no druids in the city of Melita Sukanvisa. Although there are elves who specialize in planting, they are not druids and do not use holy power, but are full-time mages. The status is relatively respected.
The main plane, although Xia Duo knew very little about that era, judging from the possibility of the projection plane, it is very likely that it was the same.
Elf Druids originated from the Elf Lord, and in [Projection Plane·Meyerita Sukanvisa], there is no Elf Lord, and some are just more similar to the ancestor worship of the "Creation Mother God" belief .
It can also be speculated that it is the elven master that caused the change in the semantics of "natural".
Whether it is the natural change of semantics after the appearance of the druid or the active change caused by the intervention of the Elf Lord God, it is not known, and there is even no place to guess.
However, Xia Duo didn’t have to go into these details. After explaining the development and evolution of "nature" in Elvish language to Niya, and giving her a superficial understanding of the concept of "big nature", she started the formal introduction—
