92 Chapter 92
"What do you think happiness is for the people?" An Le asked the two of them a question.
Aladdin looked confused, his life was different from ordinary people, and with that short life experience, he couldn't answer this question.
Sfindos thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Plenty of food?"
"What else?" An Le asked.
"Hmm......" Sfantos meditated, "and ...... And also...... There's a lot of money?"
"Although you said that the family is just a declining aristocracy, it doesn't seem that life is too bad, and you haven't worried about life, right?" An Le raised his eyebrows.
"Even if it declines, there are still some families who can sustain themselves. Sfantos looked confused, "Does this have any relevance?"
"Let me tell you my opinion, for ordinary people, happiness is very simple, food, clothing, housing and transportation are satisfied, and they live a stable life with their families, they are healthy, free of diseases and disasters, and their lives are safe. The most important thing is to eat, people usually do not have any lofty aspirations, and all their lives of hard work and hard work are all for a meal. An Le said, as the saying goes, people take food as the sky, and the truth is the same in this world.
"Oh. Sfantos let out a single note, he really never thought about what happiness was for the people, the decline of the aristocracy, even if it was not in decline, it was not his responsibility to govern the country. "It feels like a very simple wish, then I live happily every day, there is no shortage of food, clothing, and housing, and there are slaves working at home, even if I am in decline, I can live a good life. ”
"The people of the fifth class do not need to work, they do not need to be busy to make ends meet, and it is a dream life for those who are overwhelmed by the heavy oppression of their busy work, who have worked hard all day but have little to gain, and who are struggling to support their families. In any country in this world, it is not uncommon for poor people to die of overwork, probably only in the fifth district of Magnoshyted may have lazy citizens, because there is no work, there is nothing to do all day, there is no work that needs to occupy a lot of their time and need to pay a lot of energy in the past, the people do not know what to do, they can only work, without work life is empty, the spirit is not as good as before, and the life is decadent. ”
"The state provides food, provides free medical care, and if the disease takes the lives of too many people, it will not be good for Magnosited, and it is necessary to provide medical care in order to maintain a stable level of normalcy for the sake of the mana levy. Although the level of medical care is completely incomparable with the four districts on the ground, it is just an ordinary means of treatment, and magical healing can only be enjoyed by the people on the ground, even so, many people who once looked down on doctors can now be treated when they are sick, you must know that for the poor who can't afford to eat, seeing a doctor is a luxury, and now they are not sick and have nowhere to be treated, but they can only wait for death, which is a kind of welfare. ”
"I spoke with an old man who seemed to be quite respectable among the citizens of the Fifth Rank, and he mentioned that although he had lost his freedom and had to live underground, it was much better than it was in the kingdom of Mustasim. The reason for the most deaths in the fifth-class area so far is that the magic power is absorbed too much and dies of exhaustion, this is unavoidable, ordinary people have less magic in their bodies, if they are sick and their bodies become weak, the burden on the body will be greater if the magic power is levied, some can survive it, and some will die if they can't survive. Dying because of the exhaustion of mana, the magicians will not care, and the citizens who cannot pay the magic power are of no use, and if they are found to be about to run out of oil, they may even be directly executed. ”
"It's too much! this kind of thing!" Aladdin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why do you want to do this? The people of the Fifth Class District live underground all day long, and they are sucked up their magic all the time, and it is already very hard!"
Sfantos also felt that this behavior was excessive, but his reaction was far less intense than Aladdin's, and he only had a look of disapproval in his eyes. This kind of thing is not only unique to Magnosited, but also has Hario Barbud, and it is not impossible to go even further, because some inexplicable reasons, even incomprehensible reasons, can easily take the lives of others, and it is definitely not Magnoshyted's specialty.
"I guess I think it's a waste of food to live, after all, the food of the citizens of the fifth class is provided by the state, and it is their obligation to provide magic power, and the citizens who cannot fulfill their obligations have no value in existence. An Le said lightly, there was no righteous indignation, just a statement of facts.
"Even so, Sister An Le doesn't feel that the people of the fifth class district deserve sympathy at all?" Aladdin saw An Le's cold reaction, his heart tightened, his eyes and tone were a little sad and sad, and there was an incomprehensible bitterness.
"Well, let me put it this way, sympathy is just a condescending handout. An Le's expression remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically, "Is it possible that except for Magnosited, all the other countries are peaceful, and there is no injustice?"
Aladdin choked suddenly, not to mention the others, he had seen many bleak scenes in Barbad, the decaying Barbad was decadent and depressed, the rich continued to sing and dance, and the poor people without money struggled to live and die for a bite to eat.
"Poverty, disease, chaos, crime, oppression...... These scenes can be seen in the decay and decadence of Barbad, even if the king of Ali Baba is now on the throne and tries his best to save Barbad, the country is hollowed out and cannot be restored in a while, not to mention the huge debt. ”
"The head of the academy has governed Magnoshytide too well, so the existence of the citizens of the fifth class district is particularly sharp, like a drop of ink on a blank piece of paper, if it is Barbad, who has not been ousted from power by Abumado, it is completely a lot of lice and no itching, too many debts, too many bad places, the whole country is going to be finished, okay. ”
Aladdin thought of Barbad during the Abumado period, and set aside the civilians who could barely make ends meet, and compared the poor who were about to survive with the fifth-class citizens, and the depressed and depressed found that the fifth-class citizens were indeed living a happier life. If you ask those poor people who are about to starve to death if they are willing to enter the fifth-class area, as long as they exchange their magic power, they will gladly agree, because they have reached the limit, and they will starve to death if they have no food, where can they manage so much, and they are even willing to take risks for food, so the prestige of the fog will be so high.
“…… But it's not the same......" Aladdin muttered to himself.
"There is no need to argue about which side is happier, and we continue to talk about the fifth-class district. An Le waved his hand, signaling that the topic was over.
"In any country, the citizens are required to pay taxes, and Magnosiutes is divided into two kinds, the citizens on the ground are the same as other countries, and the citizens on the ground pay magic. The magic of the levy is not wasted, and is invested as a power to Magnosusted, which is the lifeblood that keeps the entire country running. Now you have seen the scene where the magic furnace is closed, it is paralyzed, and without the magic provided by the citizens of the fifth rank, Magnosiut has completely lost its former vitality. ”
"For the needs of the country, each country has certain requirements for its citizens, to pay taxes, to serve in the military, to serve in labor, etc., Magnosiut eliminated all of these, and there is only one requirement for the citizens of the fifth class, the collection of magic power, and to some extent it is a reduction in burden. That's why the old man said that it is much better now than during the time of the Mustasim Kingdom. ”
Sfantos was stunned for a moment, and his sympathy for the fifth-class citizens suddenly diminished a lot because of the momentary shock, and he pursed his lips, "It's true that I'm not used to it for a while, because Magnosiud is too good on the ground, so I see the superficial sympathy of the fifth-class citizens living underground. ”
"Sfantos?" Aladdin looked at abruptly, his face full of astonishment.
"The leader of the alliance is right, every country has certain requirements for its citizens, military service is commonplace, and citizens who die because of military service are no different from those who die because they are levied by magic, and it is not uncommon to be punished for failing to pay the required amount of taxes. If the king is mediocre, there may be many inexplicable projects to oppress the people, and if the king is wise and virtuous, some conscription will not be canceled, and it is a fixed project. The citizens of the fifth class do not need to serve those cumbersome conscriptions, only need to be collected by magic, and the state also provides all the basic needs, compared with those who are oppressed by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, are oppressed by tedious conscription, and have to work hard to make ends meet and support their families. Sfantos' face darkened.
Aladdin's eyes widened blankly, what kind of labor, what kind of military service, he didn't understand at all.
"The thought lesson given to you by the head of the academy is actually a kind of awakening, a very simple and crude means of awakening. He wanted the students to awaken to their sense of community as magicians, rather than confusing themselves with the ordinary people of their birthplace, as they had done before. Growing up among ordinary people, it is inevitable that your mind will be influenced by ordinary people, and when this self-consciousness of being a magician awakens, you will naturally start to think from the perspective of a magician. ”
"Conceptually, there is nothing wrong with collecting magic from the people to meet the needs of the country. The only person who can obtain magic from Luffy in nature is magi, and magicians can only use the magic power in their own bodies, and building a magical country requires a lot of magic power, and it is unrealistic to rely on magicians alone to achieve it, so it is an innovative technology to collect it from the people. Although the magic power of ordinary people is very low, and the amount of gathering is still considerable, in exchange, to meet the basic living needs of the people, it is many times better than letting the horses run and let the horses not eat grass. Other countries are ordinary people who oppress magicians, and this country is magicians who oppress ordinary people. ”
"I really admire Magnoshyted, the only country that has achieved automation with magic, and how many streets have left other countries behind in terms of civilization construction, and if it continues to develop on this momentum, it may become a super powerful country. ”
"But in terms of implementation, I don't agree with that. ”
"Huh?" said Sfantos, stunned.
Aladdin also showed a surprised look, he thought that An Le agreed with the head of the house, but he didn't expect that after saying it, the conversation suddenly changed.
"Does it make a difference?" asked Sfantos, puzzled.
"If the head of the academy had put more heart, he could have done better, and his approach could have been more gentle. The Mana Furnace is very important and needs to be deeply hidden, so it is theoretically understandable to build the fifth-class area underground, but it is not impossible to do it. Set a certain area to be drained as long as you stand in it, not only underground, but also on the ground, just place the mana furnace under this area and isolate the surroundings. It's also a restriction of freedom, but living in the sun will always be much more comfortable, and it will be much easier for other magicians to accept it. In the same way, many other details can be reconciled. ”
"However, the head of the academy chose the most brutal method, and locked the citizens of the fifth class district underground like cattle and sheep, as if he wanted to be out of sight, and he was not willing to be a little more considerate. ”
"I can understand the feelings of the dean of the college, he has experienced those cruel things, from a good old man who thinks about others to a paranoid and stubborn person, it is the reality that is too cruel to him, and no matter how righteous and stern the dean of the house is accused of being too ruthless, he will stand and talk without backache. ”
"It's useless to blindly think that the people of the fifth class are too pitiful, and the head of the academy is not completely wrong, except for the deep prejudice against ordinary people, he is actually a very wise and kind old man, isn't he. The head of the academy has been broken by ordinary people, don't let the magician break his heart again, even if he is dissatisfied, speculate more from the perspective of the head of the house, and be more considerate of him. It is not easy to convince a person, and it is even more difficult to change a person's mind. The last few words were addressed to Aladdin, who looked at Aladdin.
Sfantos heard this, and couldn't help but look at Aladdin, and then at Anle.
Aladdin lowered his head and sullenly, "I already understand what Sister Anle means, I won't be reckless, but the magic furnace under the ground is really ...... Does that matter?"
"Don't worry about it for now. An Le didn't answer directly, and avoided the important and said lightly.
Aladdin was silent, his hands on his knees, unconsciously grasping, his mind not knowing where to fly.
Sfantos was full of questions, but didn't ask.
No one made a sound, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.
After a long time, Aladdin opened his mouth and lowered his head decadently.
"Aladdin?" Sfanthos wondered.
“…… I still think the dean is wrong. Aladdin unconsciously grabbed the flute hanging around his neck, "Sister Anle knows, although the mana collected by the magic furnace is mainly used for Magnoshuated, but that ...... It has to do with the Mana Furnace, which is now closed, but will start collecting mana again after it is repaired. The one that was hidden by the head of the house...... It's too dangerous!"
"The Mana Furnace is related to the operation of Magnoshyted, and the head of the house will not change his mind easily. An Le said calmly.
"I can't convince the dean," Aladdin said in frustration, distressed by his inability to do anything, "I can't even read the dean's thoughts, and I can't comprehend the meaning of the dean's actions like Sister Anle." I couldn't do anything at all, I was so worried that the magician and the ordinary person hated each other, but I couldn't understand why this was happening, and I didn't know how to change it, so I was just afraid. Sister Anle's words are different, if it's Sister Anle, there must be a way to convince the dean of the academy to ......"
"No, I can't. An Le categorically refused.
“…… Why?!" Aladdin could not accept it.
"You have to understand Aladdin, the head of the academy is the king of Magnoshyide, whether it is right or wrong, I, as the leader of the Northern Alliance, cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Magnoshyted at will. Otherwise, today I can forcibly interfere in the internal affairs of Magnoshyted because I sympathize with the people of the Fifth Class and disapprove of the actions of the head of the Academy, and tomorrow I can interfere in the internal affairs of other countries for other reasons. ”
At that time, the credibility of the Northern Alliance will fall below the table, and it will have a bad reputation among other countries like the Huang Empire.
"But it's different!" Aladdin said aloud, his eyes wide. Once the Prostitution Medium is born in Magnoshyted, Il-Elan will come, and the world will be destroyed like Almatoline. "Sister Anle didn't come for that, don't do anything and look at the birth of that ......!"
Aladdin guards the secret of Almatolan's destruction, and his heart is very stressed, and he is deeply afraid that the same thing will happen again in this world, and the stakes are too high to tell anyone at will. Seeing that the same thing is going to happen again, I am anxious but there is no way, and I can't help but become anxious.
"Don't be too presumptuous Aladdin, there are some things I can't do, you can do. An Le sighed deeply.
Aladdin heard this and calmed down. "What do you mean?"
"Magi is the one who chooses the king, and the magi is the one who guides the king. If there is anyone in this world who can justifiably interfere in any country, it is probably only MAGI, and if it is MAGI to guide the head of the academy, it is a matter of course. An Le looked into Aladdin's eyes.
Aladdin was shocked, "But Sister Yamaleha says that Magnusitedes has been looking for someone with a great talent for magic, and if Magi falls into their hands, it may be a misfortune." ”
"It depends on whether Magi is willing to take that risk. Comfort was noncommittal to Yamlayha's assertion.
Aladdin bit his lip and struggled in his heart.
"The magic furnace won't be closed for long, what to do, think about it, Aladdin. An Le dropped this sentence and got up and left.
Looking at the back of An Le leaving, Sfantos was stunned, he felt as if he had heard some big secret, he sat stupidly for a long time, suddenly put his hands on Aladdin's shoulders, and stared straight into Aladdin's eyes, his expression was extremely serious, and his eyes were sharp. "Aladdin, I never asked you, to be able to know the three princes of the Huang Empire and the leader of the Northern Alliance, your identity must not be simple, right?
Aladdin was sweating, his eyes involuntarily looking elsewhere, his heart was weak, and he stammered, "...... This one...... I'm ......"
"Are you ......" Sfantos lowered his voice suddenly, as if he was afraid of being heard, cautiously, "Are you Magi's subordinate?"
“…… No. The corners of Aladdin's mouth twitched, and Bai became nervous.
"Really not?" Sfantos muttered with a suspicious expression, "Then why did the Alliance Leader mention Magi in a specific way?" ”
"Hahaha......" Aladdin chuckled dryly.
Aladdin secretly made up his mind in his heart, in order not to let things go in the worst direction, I'm sorry, Sister Yamleha, I can only take the risk and try!
When An Le heard the news from his subordinates that Aladdin went to the head of the house by himself, he was happily licking the lollipop.
Well, the progress is one step further and in good condition.
