Chapter 546: Resignation (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
But if you don't hesitate to open the door of the Warlock Alliance.
According to the speed at which the Eternal Night Army Leader Scholars emerge, it won't be long before the entire Warlock Alliance will be diluted, making this place a hall of Sean's words.
Sean will not only be a council scholar, but also their lordship.
When did the upright temperament of the Gal Council scholars break out badly, but at this time, they will make a move?
"I appreciate the kindness of the Scholars, and it is my greatest honor to join the Warlock Alliance, but my energy is limited, and it is difficult for me to serve as a Fellow of the Council Scholars. It was Sean who took the initiative to relieve them, "After all, the Warlock Alliance is an academic organization, and if I also become a member of the Council, the nature will completely change, which is not conducive to the Warlock Alliance making a fair choice." ”
Of course, Sean would not be so kind to help the Warlock Alliance, but there was no need for him to join it at all.
The Warlock Alliance is only a relatively loose organization, and it is not particularly binding on subordinate scholars, and many times relies on the spontaneous support of scholars.
Not to mention just becoming a council scholar, even if he really became the general speaker of the Warlock Alliance, it didn't see how much benefit it could bring to the Eternal Night Army Leader.
On the contrary, there will be a lot more irrelevant responsibilities.
Moreover, the Warlock League has a relatively transcendent status in the Byron League, relying heavily on a more unique style of acting.
If it is too tightly tied to the Eternal Night Lord, it will cause the disgust of many scholars and noble lords, and it will not be conducive to the development of members in other territories of the Warlock Alliance, let alone the inconvenience of absorbing knowledge.
Knowledge is the most valuable asset of the Warlock Alliance, as long as you get this in your hands, what does it matter if the Warlock Alliance joins or not?
He was even able to build one as soon as he changed hands.
That is, these council scholars regard the Warlock Alliance as a treasure, but they don't know that Sean doesn't look down on it at all.
"The lord has seen much more thoroughly than us, we can maintain a good relationship with so many forces, it is because of our more neutral way of doing things, for the sake of the scholars who are loyal in other territories, the exclusive label on our body should not be too heavy, we as an academic organization, we will honestly engage in our academic research, there is no need to mix too much in other aspects, joint schools can be carried out, and the branch of Brother Port can be established, but let the lord become a member of the council, don't mention it again." ”
Sean's voluntary retreat greatly changed the attitude of the Gusta Council scholars towards him, and for a while, the former opponents and the opposed stood on a united front.
"I think you're all too conservative, and when we start running a joint school, 90 percent of the bachelors and scholars in the world will come from us, and even if they have opinions, what if they don't have them?"
"This view of the Fellows is too extreme, too dangerous, and incompatible with the previous style of our Alliance, and should not ......be changed at will," the Gusta Council Fellow retorted.
"I also think that our focus is still on joint education, and other things are ...... in the long run," Sean also repeatedly resigned.
The whole negotiating bureau is completely in a mess.
Now it's friend or foe, the Gard Council academicians strongly recommend Sean to join the Warlock Alliance and become a member of the Council Academics, anyway, the number of Warlock Alliance Parliamentary Scholars is not a fixed number, now it is a seven-member council, and it will be good to become an eight-member council when the time comes.
That level of casualness made Sean even less interested in joining it, who knows when this eight-member council will become a nine, ten, eleven, or even twelve-member council?
As long as they have the right people, they can expand without limits.
This kind of casual wind is really incompatible with his nature.
It is better to follow the original plan, to absorb knowledge from among them, to enrich oneself, and when necessary, to support a few parliamentary scholars, and there is no need to get involved in it, which is to lower one's own style.
Sean refused to accept it, and the Gal Council University Scholars couldn't drink water with their heads on their heads, and the matter was eventually settled, and finally revolved around the joint establishment of the school and the opening of a branch of the Warlock Alliance in Brother Harbor.
However, after the agitation of the Parliamentarians of the Gard, the two Parliamentary Scholars of Gusta and Quint, who had a more hard-line attitude, obviously began to regress and compromise, because they found that if they continued to persevere, the situation would only make the situation worse.
This unprecedented conference of scholars in Brother Port has already convinced several council scholars of the Warlock Alliance, and they are somewhat unprincipled in supporting the decision of Sean and the Eternal Night Leader.
In other words, if they want to fight against the Eternal Night Lord, they must fight with their own people first.
If that's the case, it's a joke!
Instead of this, it is better to take a step back, keep an eye on this matter, and grasp the loopholes in the cooperation between the two sides!
With this mentality, they no longer interfere, but look on the sidelines, and things will naturally progress quickly.
After all, Sean had no intention of plotting the Warlock Alliance at all, but for the knowledge in their stomachs.
However, the attitude of the Warlock Alliance towards knowledge is not secretive, on the contrary, they have always been committed to spreading and promoting the vast amount of knowledge, otherwise how could they still have such a lofty position in the minds of scholars in a remote corner!
Preconceptions aside, in this regard, the two sides should hit it off.
In order to show his sincerity, Sean really took out some of the knowledge unique to the Eternal Night Leader.
This knowledge is biased towards people's livelihood agriculture and light industry, such as new farming technology, breeding technology, grafting technology, etc., and light industry is some more labor-intensive textile technology, manufacturing technology, etc.
Before these technologies were taken out, they were naturally carefully considered politically, and it was more appropriate to give them to the All-Byron Alliance than to the Warlock Alliance, and the entire Ashane Continent.
The Wars of the Night's Lords are best at not conventional warfare, but economic warfare, plundering wealth through trade.
But the problem is that the foundation for wealth creation in this world is too weak, the level of farming cannot be improved, the output in the land is limited, and the overall wealth is naturally limited.
In fact, the main trading partners of the Eternal Night Warlords are still those lords and nobles, plundering the limited income that they have accumulated and squeezed in their hands for many years, and the wealth they have plundered directly from the hands of those citizens is pitiful, because they have not much wealth in their hands for them to plunder.
Now Sean is a little dissatisfied with this, since you don't have the technology, and you don't want to innovate the technology, the Eternal Night Commander will help you innovate, and when the time comes, you can create more wealth and plunder it yourself.
If the Eternal Night Army Leader takes the initiative to promote these technologies, it will be very inefficient, not to mention the cost of manpower and material resources, and even people will be suspected of ill intentions.
Once you get it to the Warlock Academy jointly established with the Warlock Alliance, it will become a golden signboard, and those lords and nobles will squeeze their scalps into it, and send their own people to study at any cost, even if it costs a lot of money.
Sean has never said that people from other territories don't have to spend money to study in the joint colleges and universities they run.
Before the joint university was opened, it has become a unique political tool in Sean's hands, and as it grows and develops, the role it plays will inevitably become bigger and bigger, and it can even influence some decisions of the other party.
The reason is very simple, when the time comes, the Eternal Night Army Leader will directly affect the students in their territory and the enemy's territory, are they qualified to enter the United University to study, once there is a unilateral blockade, their enemies will learn more advanced knowledge from here, wouldn't they want to form a crushing trend on themselves?
At that time, in order not to be distanced, he can only bow to the leader of the Eternal Night Army, and even make concessions to interests.
This is to be expected, and the greater the power of the knowledge taught at the joint universities, the greater the influence.
It's up to Sean to be flexible, because in addition to these light industries.
They also have in their hands shipbuilding, steel frying, steelmaking, steam boilers, runes and artillery manufacturing, a series of heavy industries and core technologies.
Don't even think about it now, the Eternal Night Commander will definitely not take it out to share with the Warlock Alliance, nor will it be taught by the United University, and it is better to stay in their own Academy City to cultivate the professionals in this area.
However, if you don't take it out now, it doesn't mean that you won't take it out in the future, as long as you have enough profit temptation, these technologies can't turn into a weapon of war.
These core technologies are also another reason why Sean resolutely refuses to become a member of the Council of the Warlock Alliance, what if he joins it and becomes one of them, and the Warlock Alliance takes the opportunity to ask him for the unique technology of the Eternal Night Leader?
Sean had to be cautious about this.
If the two are separated, Sean can protect this knowledge on the grounds of the military secrets of the Eternal Night Army.
This was a key item of his argument with the Warlock Alliance.
According to the meaning of the Warlock Alliance, I wish that the leaders of the Eternal Night Army would use all the technologies they have mastered to implement a policy of non-secrecy for the Warlock Alliance, and even for the whole world, for the benefit of all mankind.
It's not that they're being instigated by anyone, it's that in itself it's their purpose.
There are two sides to everything.
It was this purpose that made it easier for the Eternal Night Warlords to defeat their previously stored knowledge ideas.
But it is precisely this purpose that will make them find ways to squeeze more knowledge from the leaders of the Eternal Night, which can be used to benefit the world.
From their point of view, their goal is justice and greatness, because they don't care about the gains and losses of one place and one leader, but contribute to the entire alliance and the entire human race.
Sean agrees with their great ideals, but it doesn't mean that he supports them, after all, this is seriously damaging to the interests of the Eternal Night Leader.
How can the knowledge they have worked so hard to develop be published in the world before they have time to play a role and gain benefits for themselves?
From here, it can be seen how incompatible the Warlock Alliance is with Sean, and he will never be able to become a member of the council or their general speaker in his lifetime.
Even if it becomes, the Warlock Alliance will no longer belong to the original Warlock Alliance, no longer belong to the whole world, but belong to the Eternal Night Commander.
The two sides are fighting over this.
The Warlock Alliance buttoned a big hat for the benefit of all mankind straight to Sean.
Sean started from the military leader's private property and development, and their joint university was successfully established on the basis of the strength of the Eternal Night military leader.
If the Eternal Night Commander makes all the technology public, and other military leaders can get all kinds of technology without paying any price, it seems to be a matter for the benefit of all mankind, but it is actually a kind of artificial obstacle, if there is no benefit in researching technology, who will delve into new technology?
When the time comes, wait to eat ready-made.
Far from promoting innovative technologies, this is a blow to them.
Literary knowledge should be separated from technical knowledge, and they have the obligation to protect the rights and interests of those technical knowledge.
Only their rights and interests are protected and they are profiting from them.
Only then will they have the motivation and financial resources to delve into more new technologies to achieve the goal of benefiting all mankind.
In order to convince them, Sean even threw out the concept of intellectual property.
I didn't do it before, it was because there was no foundation and there was no need.
Now that the Eternal Night Army has become a major intellectual property owner, in order to protect its own interests, it is necessary not only to engage in it, but also to formalize it, so as to prepare them for more innovative technologies in the future.
Dealing with literate people means solving problems in a cultural way.
After a week-long discussion, the concept of intellectual property was finally approved by the Warlock Alliance, and they were all smart people who understood that Sean was not messing around, but a fact.
The Warlock Alliance has been suffering from it all these years, and has been in this state of eating a big pot of rice, after all the knowledge is studied, it will immediately become everyone's, and the researchers will not bring them any practical benefits except for getting a bunch of false names, and no one will work studying new technologies, especially those technical knowledge, which in addition to conventional knowledge, also requires a lot of financial and material resources as the basis for experiments.
If there is no profit drive, who will do such a thankless task?
Eventually caught in a vicious circle.
I didn't realize the problem before, but now that I realize it, I naturally have to make a change.
However, intellectual property is a very general concept, and there is still a long way to go if you really want to refine it, and it is impossible to do it in one step, so it will take a long time to study.
Sean threw out the concept, and after achieving his goal, he basically didn't care.
When the time comes, there will naturally be professionals from the Eternal Night Lord, and even if they don't play a leading role in it, they will try their best to make the rules more beneficial to the Eternal Night Lord, and then promote the world through the old influence of the Warlock Alliance.
After reaching a consensus on this aspect, the atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot, and another topic revolved around the scholars' conference.
There are too many fortuitous factors in the convening of this scholars' conference.
Neither the Eternal Night Warlord nor the Warlock Alliance actually had any real issues.
But people have already gathered, and if you don't do something, it's not only a waste, but also a joke, let alone the next conference of scholars.
Only by trying to make the majority of scholars feel that they have gained something this time will they look forward to and participate in the next scholars' conference.
It's just that there are a bit too many people, all of them are more than an army, and it is not realistic to gather them all together and participate in the same issue.
After a period of negotiation and discussion, the conference was simply turned into an exchange conference.
On the square, more than a dozen lecture platforms were set up, so that those interested scholars could go to these high platforms to make their own speeches, gather and absorb like-minded people, and form a like-minded seminar, if they could come up with a more mature set of things and organize them into books, the Eternal Night Commander would also print them for free, and the number of them would be determined by the recognition and value obtained.
This is for those who have something in their stomachs, but are nowhere near overflowing.
One of them is not enough to publish a book and a biography, so find a bunch of the same people together, you put it together, I put it together, and a book will come out?
