Chapter 210: The Prologue to 'Emancipating the Slaves'

The summer breeze blew through the wheat fields, taking away the last bit of green of the wheat waves, and the crystal dew drops on the flowers and plants fell to the ground, and on both sides of the road, which could no longer be said to be country roads, there were farmers looking at the plump golden ears of wheat and smiling.

On this morning, which was beginning to get cooler, the gates opened, and the yawning soldiers walked out of the gates, squinting at a touch of gold in the distance, but smiling.

Because of the passage of time, autumn has arrived.

Because of the topography and the height of the room, Edith opened the curtain and saw the 'sea' outside the window.

She pressed her face to the glass window, her eyes widened, staring at the golden sea, eating and laughing, also because autumn had arrived.

Autumn has arrived, which means harvest, grain, and it also means that it has been a year since the black dragon and the maid came to the Sorrowful Wind Territory.

In this year, there have been a lot of changes in the Sad Wind Collar and Wende City, and the change in Wende City is the largest, but the change in the Sad Wind Collar is not small.

In this year, the most regrettable thing is that in the first half of the year, those nobles completely did not obey Serena's sister's orders and lent new agricultural tools to civilians, which led to the reduction of the grain production of the Sad Wind Territory today - if it weren't for those stupid nobles, the total amount of food in the Sad Wind Territory this year would have increased by at least fifteen percent compared to last year!

But now they can't regret it, after all, the wheat field outside Wende City is the best proof.

With new planting and farming methods, with new agricultural tools, people can be more relaxed when farming, and the existence of fertilizer is the key to increasing food production, but it is a pity that to this day, there are still not many green manure seeds, and if you want to 'crop rotation', you have to try this world to support it, so it is impossible to want 'crop rotation' this year.

Edith sometimes hears Serena's sister complain that she has been lamenting that she has not been able to find suitable green manure seeds for her 'crop rotation'.

Even though Edith didn't know what it was, it seemed precious......

Now the experimental field is just about to test whether the green manure can be used, and I heard Sister Serena say that if the green manure can be used, then the land of the Sad Wind Territory can become more fertile, and the grain production can also be increased.

"Those damned nobles!"

After listening to the black dragon talk about the 'deeds' of those nobles, the goddess of wealth gritted her teeth and became enemies with the maid.

She has already begun to operate, and the wealth belonging to the Church of Fortune is slowly being transferred and will not be discovered in a short time, because there is an excuse to issue paper money, and although there is a lot of property transferred, no one is suspicious now.

As for the fact that the incarnation of the goddess of wealth is 'playing' in Wende City, the Moore nobles have no other way than to 'persuade them with good words and care about them'.

Could they still order the Goddess of Wealth to come back soon?

They didn't know that it was the true body of the Goddess of Wealth, and they had always believed that it was an avatar, and destroying that avatar would weaken her power, but not actually kill her.

It's a gamble, a gamble with your life at stake!

The goddess of wealth is a great trick, but it can't be hidden for long, at most within a month or two she will announce that she is going to carry out the 'Holy City Relocation', it depends on when the church and the Moore nobles will be suspicious, and then they have to leave some time for the church to prepare.

The Church of Fortune is also a behemoth, with great influence, and it is impossible to move it no matter how much it says.

She also found a reason for the relocation of the Holy City, naturally it would not be because the Moore nobles had god-killing weapons, and they also wanted to deal with her This kind of 'lose-lose' reason, it is very simple to say that Wende City is more suitable for the development of the church.

Not too many people know about the relationship between the goddess of wealth and the goddess of nobility, and the gods will not talk much if they know it, so not many people think that the goddess of wealth will choose to stand by the side of the head maid of the sad wind family who is the 'public enemy of the nobility' at such a time.

Wende City is already her future holy city, and the development of the Wealth Church is linked to the prosperity of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and those nobles have slowed down the development of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, why is she not angry?

"But if you deal with the nobles, you will deal with the nobles, what are you doing with the slave traders?" the goddess of wealth drew a circle in the air with her hands, "The slave trade is very profitable!"

"If I had to give a reason, it might be because I don't like it – it's a waste of labor!"

The maid knocked on the table, "Which can create more value than civilians or slaves? Slaves have no hope in life, they are enslaved, there is no salary, there are no rewards, everything they have belongs to their masters, they work to make their masters more profitable, but what about themselves? They get nothing, no matter how hard they work, all they can get is a full meal, but if they are lazy, they will be whipped and even killed, so they will be dead." ”

"Commoners work more for themselves than slaves, they have 'hope', they have much more to gain than slaves. If they work hard, then they have the potential to earn additional rewards. They have their own property, they have freedom, they have control over their lives, and the commoners are much more enthusiastic about their work than slaves!"

"And from the point of view of only one cost, it is not difficult to spend a certain amount of money to make civilians burst into enthusiasm for work, and it is not difficult for them to have the same work intensity as slaves, and a slave has no enthusiasm for work, so let him forcibly increase the work intensity, then what he will get in the end is a pile of corpses. This is a psychological problem, under the same work intensity, spending a little money can make the commoners self-regulate, but the slaves will not do this, their thoughts are more negative, so when they die of depression, they need to buy a new batch of slaves, from the cost point of view, it is too cost-effective!"

Listening to these words, the goddess of wealth fell into deep thought.

But the maid did not give her a time to think, but pointed to her head and continued: "I can understand this, but others do not, those stupid nobles will not give up the slave as a sign of 'backwardness' because of my persuasion. If I want to liberate the productive forces, I must use coercive methods, otherwise those nobles will not obey! Banning the slave trade of the Sadwind Territory is only the first step, and the next step is to liberate the slaves of the Sadwind Territory and let them have the status of commoners. ”

"Not to mention Wende City, the future of the Sad Wind Collar can also provide them with countless jobs, I can provide them with jobs, as long as there is a little extra reward can make their work enthusiasm drive work efficiency, why not?"

"I emancipated slaves not for any 'human rights' or 'mercy' or anything like that, but for the liberation of productive forces!"

"Everyone's personality is a little different, they want to be lazy or casual, as long as they don't want extra rewards, and not completing the specified work indicators will also be punished by salary cuts or even expulsion, as long as this way, it is enough to be able to maintain the basic needs of a job, and the 'extra reward' is the overflow part - peaceful and fair competition can keep an industry and a territory alive!"

When the maid finished speaking, the goddess of wealth showed a sudden realization expression, "I see......"

It's not that she doesn't know these things, but before she gets a point, she only knows a little about them, and she used to 'know them but don't know why', but now she finally 'clears the clouds and sees the moon'.

"Will you do it or will I do it?"

While the goddess of wealth was still pondering, the maid asked coldly.

"Huh?" the goddess of wealth was stunned, "What...... 'do you do it or do it me'?"

"Prestige and faith—there are so many slaves in the world, and if you could free a third of the slaves by virtue of what I just said, how many people's faith do you think you would gain from it? Moreover, isn't the 'elven product' very valuable in human society? If you can gain the praise and friendship of the elves, in addition to wealth, maybe you will also be able to gain 'interracial faith'......"

Looking at the woman with a charming smile in front of her, the goddess of wealth felt that her heart that had been dormant for many years was beating again......

She's 'heartbroken'!
