The Glorious Festival will begin on the 15th day of the month of the celebration.

This festival is Alink, no, it should be said that it is the grandest festival celebration of Plandal, and it is also the most solemn festival since the beginning of autumn, not only Alinks, but almost all countries and cities of Plandals will hold celebrations, and among them, Alinks, where the Holy See of Light is located, is the most grand.

Even though the Empire of Illus has declined, and even though Alinks is no longer the center of the world, it has always been a sacred city in the eyes of the followers of the Holy See of Light, and the glorious festival held to commemorate the day of the arrival of the god of light, Yebirny, is naturally the most important festival in the hearts of the inhabitants of Alink.

Therefore, many chambers of commerce began to prepare early, and the headquarters of Alinks was extremely busy, during this seven-day festival, the streets and alleys of Aarinx will be filled with a celebratory atmosphere, if the event is done well, the income of these seven days alone can exceed the usual month.

Therefore, the merchants loved and hated the Glorious Festival.

Of course, Tang En is not exempt from vulgarity, since he learned about this festival comparable to the National Day, he has already taken it to heart and began to plan publicity activities.

Prior to this, the popularity of the Datang Chamber of Commerce was limited to the aristocratic group in Alinkes, and ordinary people knew very little, because the main commodities produced by the Datang Chamber of Commerce were basically for the aristocracy - although the daily necessities such as soap hydrosol promoted the brand's popularity very well, they did not have much brand strength, and the products that symbolized the brand were too expensive for ordinary people to afford. This creates a fault.

But now, things are different.

The emergence of bicycles can perfectly make up for this fault, so as to create a complete customer ecological network in the upper, middle and lower layers. Maximize the value of your brand.

Because of the simple craftsmanship, low cost, and a lot of profits, the price is only ten gold coins, so it is very suitable for promotion to low- and middle-class civilians, and the practicality of the bicycle will also make them very happy to buy one to keep at home.

And that's not all, thanks to the addition of elf designers. He played a lot of tricks with bicycles alone, strollers, and toddler walkers. Children's entertainment, juvenile, girly, youth fashion sports. Calm and atmospheric. Housewives shopping and so on, Don has simply learned all the tricks of the king of cold rice - of course, in Plandal, this is not called fried cold rice, this is called bold innovation.

Don is sure that after the glorious festival, bicycles will be popular all over the country in an instant.

After a while, when people get used to the bike, he can launch an upgraded version of the magic bike, as long as enough people are attracted to buy the magic bike. The market for magic crystals has further expanded, and the price is bound to continue to rise.

Of course. The most important step is the magic car, which is the main consumption of magic crystals, but the impact of the magic car is quite huge, and Don decided to put it after the magic energy bike, and wait for Ellington to promote it first, and then launch it in other places.

Unlike anything else, the influence of the Magic Energy Automobile is probably unprecedented, it will completely change the mode of travel and transportation, and it is foreseeable that the carriage shop will be the first to be impacted, and many of the chambers of commerce that make a living from it will usher in a wave of closures.

But that's not Don't care about it, if he's smart enough, he'll definitely smell a business opportunity from it - Don isn't interested in running a taxi and logistics business, it's too wasteful of energy, and he'd better give this oil and water to someone else when the time comes.

After dealing with Don for so long, Fiona also had a general understanding of his thoughts, so after returning to the Lord's Mansion, as soon as she heard him talk about what promotions he was going to do, Fiona seemed to immediately see a sea of golden coins rushing towards her......

Her eyes lit up with gold: "How much can you earn this time?" ”

“…… Fans of small fortune. ”

Tang En smiled dumbly, lightly tapped her nose, and then said: "How much we can earn depends on how well we operate this time, after all, the protagonist of the Radiance Festival is the Bright Sect, and we have never dealt with the Bright Sect, so there is no way to have any preferential treatment." ”

"Being so close to the Cathedral of Light is an advantage in itself."

Fiona touched her nose and said coquettishly, "I believe that with your ability, Lord Lord, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”

"I hope so, too."

Donn shrugged, thanks to the elemental creatures led by Dicarios, the speed of Ellington's development has been further improved, and now that there are bicycles, the speed of people's transmission of information and the range of activities have increased a lot, so the construction scope of the town has expanded several times, and it is still being built according to the established blueprint.

The most important thing is that the roads are leveled, and most of the main roads are paved with asphalt, making it easy to go anywhere.

In fact, due to the invention and sale of the magic energy drill, the efficiency of asphalt mining in the dwarven kingdom has increased dozens of times, and if it were not for the limited manpower and economic conditions, Don planned to start paving the asphalt road to other villages and towns in Ellington.

If this glorious festival can make a lot of money and improve Ellington's job benefits again, it will definitely attract a large number of available talents to flow to Ellington, and the situation will be even better.

"Speaking of which, my lord."

Fiona pondered for a moment and asked, "You think that our speed of development has always been limited by the population, so why didn't you agree to my earlier request to buy slaves?" ”

Tang En frowned: "Didn't I say before that I shouldn't mention this question again?" ”

"But you must know that the purchase of a thousand slaves is only 100,000 gold coins, but these slaves do not need to be paid at all and can be used at their disposal."

Don said seriously, "Fiona, you have to know something. ”

Fiona was stunned for a moment: "What? ”

"If there is no sale, there is no harm."

Donn asked, "There are no major wars in Plandal now, so where do the slaves of various countries come from?" ”

"The main thing is to inherit the identity of the father's generation and be born into slavery, and then there are losers in factional struggles, outcasts who can't survive and sell their freedom, and some mixed races of ******** who are caught, and so on."

"That's a good point."

Don smiled and pointed to the stool next to him, and after Fiona sat down, he continued, "But, don't you notice that this society is changing? ”

"Change?"

"Yes, slaves are a special product of the period when the productive forces were relatively primitive, when the human productive forces were insufficient, so they needed to plunder others to meet their own productivity needs, and in that period, slaves were equal to wealth, so the slave trade was very developed."

"But with the progress of the productive forces, human rights have been taken seriously, so that the slave traders in Plandal are now despised - because no one likes to be a slave, and no one wants to be a slave if he fails."

Fiona thought about it carefully, and found that this was really the case, in Alinks, none of the big slave merchants had a more glorious status, whether in the aristocratic circle or in the merchant circle, they were very unvalued, as if they were surviving in the cracks.

In fact, Don discovered this when he was in Alink, and his feelings were subtle.

Yes, this world with true gods, Plandal, is in a wonderful state of superposition of slave society, feudal society and capitalist society, there are still slaves here, and the feudal royal power occupies the sovereignty of the country, but at the same time, the merchants have begun to unite against the royal power, intending to seek more interests and discourse, which is clearly the germ of capitalist society.

"Slaves are also human beings, especially some people who are born slaves, and their yearning for freedom and power is extremely strong, like a long-standing volcano that may erupt at any time."

Tang En took a sip of tea: "What I can tell you is that in this time and age, the use of slaves is actually a very dangerous behavior. ”

That's right, Don didn't use slaves because he was worried about this.

Prandal's social formation is changing, and what he is doing now is to speed up the process of this change, if he himself uses slaves in large quantities at this time, on the one hand, it will stimulate the declining slave trade market, causing more innocent people to become slaves, and on the other hand, it will also have a negative effect on his propaganda.

Above all, slaves were eager to be free, and they were easily bought and exploited without culture.

Of course, Don can buy a large number of slaves, and can easily give them the freedom and respect they crave, but after gaining freedom, once they have been oppressed for a long time, once they are used, they will definitely not hesitate to turn against Don without hesitation, there is no doubt - don't forget that Don now represents the aristocratic privileged class, and is itself the opposite of slaves.

To put it another way, the slave's struggle for freedom itself requires struggle, and if Don was a slave owner at that time, and he himself was on the disadvantage side of the tide of the times, then what excuse should he use to save the world?

Fiona didn't understand these things at first, but when Don briefly reminded her, she quickly figured it out.

"That is to say, now we in Ellington are neither opposed nor supportive of such a thing as slaves?"

The corners of Don's mouth curled: "Although we didn't express our position, didn't we already state our attitude in our external propaganda policy?" ”

Fiona was stunned, and suddenly remembered the slogan that Don had written earlier.

"Ellington welcomes any law-abiding citizen to settle here, as long as you are willing to work and obey our laws, come to Ellington!"

"Here, you'll get everything you deserve!"

All rights, of course, include the right to personal liberty! (To be continued.) )
