Chapter 125 Social Division of Labor
Under the guidance of the butler, Wang Zhiran and Eleven walked into a luxuriously decorated and resplendent hall.
According to Wang Zhiran's visual inspection, this hall is at least half the size of a football field, and a rectangular wooden table is placed inside. The four sides and feet of this wooden table are carved with delicate reliefs, which are obviously expensive.
On the wooden table, there are all kinds of delicious food and wine, not only chicken, fish and other delicacies that Wang Zhiran has seen on the earth, but also many delicacies that he has never seen and cannot name.
Seeing these things, Wang Zhiran's brows furrowed slightly, his head turned slightly, and from the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the hall, he looked at the factory area in the distance, where the lights were still bright, and it was obvious that countless slaves were still sweating and working there.
Wang Zhiran retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the front of the rectangular wooden table, and the person standing there was none other than Nero, the master of the Titan II.
Although Nero was wearing a gorgeous red robe, he himself was just a big fat man with a height of 1.6 meters, a weight of 100 kilograms, and a fat belly.
Wang Zhiran also noticed Nero's darkened eye bags and the obvious lack of yang energy, and with the fact that there were several young maids standing beside him who were only wearing a layer of transparent tulle, it was not difficult to guess that this lord often did some kind of exercise at night, so that he emptied his body.
"Welcome, Your Majesty. ”
When the lord Nero saw Wang Zhiran's arrival, he showed a seemingly kind smile on his fat face, and a maid also pulled out the chair at the back of the long table and motioned for Wang Zhiran to sit here, and at the same time showed his proud chest with good training, which made Wang Zhiran stunned.
However, Eleven on the side didn't care, took the first step to sit on the seat on the left side of the long table, directly picked up the nearest piece of meat to her with her hand, ate it in her mouth, and after tasting it carefully, she said:
"It melts in your mouth and has a great aftertaste. Lord Nero, if I'm not mistaken, this is the meat of the Zudun Beast. ”
Nero knew Eleven's identity, so he was not annoyed by Eleven's rude behavior, but said with some pride: "That's right, this is meat I imported from other galaxies, it tastes very fatty, I usually like to eat it, and I'm sure the Inquisitor will like it too." ”
Hearing these words, Wang Zhiran's mind suddenly had a nameless karmic fire rising, I saw him with a gloomy face, walked straight to Nero's side, looked down at him, pointed to the delicacies on the table, and said sharply:
"That's why you're enslaving? That's what you're trying to do by exploiting the common people! So you're going to make all your people slaves and let them die in factories!"
After listening to Wang Zhiran's words, Nero did not have any panic, no sense of doing anything wrong, on the contrary, he just smiled and looked at Wang Zhiran, this smile made Wang Zhiran feel very uncomfortable, and the atmosphere of the scene froze there, and the maids around him also knew that the situation was not good, and they all stood obediently in the corner on the side, but only Eleven didn't care about it, and still took a big gulp of wine and meat.
After a moment of stalemate, Lord Nero stood up from his seat, looked up at Wang Zhiran, and asked rhetorically, "Then Lord Inquisitor, do you think that it was I who promoted slavery and made those people slaves, so they worked hard in the factory?"
Wang Zhiran shouted: "Isn't it!"
Nero smiled and continued, "Your Excellency, you are a kind man. But I want you to think about it, and I'll take the example of Zudun meat, which I exported from the slaves in the factories and sold them to other systems, and then used the money to import them. ”
"You know what that means? It means that there is a demand for the products we produce, so I can sell them and use the money to buy other things. This is the inevitability of social production, and only when there is demand can there be production. If there is no demand, there is no point in that pile of products rotting in my hands. ”
"And where there is social production, there must be a social division of labor, which means that there are always people who go into the factories to work and produce products. Do you understand, Inquisitor, those people are in the production of products in the factories, not because they are slaves, it is the necessity of the social division of labor. Just like you, as an Inquisitor, to investigate the rebellion of the Empire, or like the Space Marines fighting on the battlefield to eliminate foreign enemies for the Empire, this is an inevitable product of the social division of labor. ”
"Man does not suffer from poverty, but from inequality. Your anger against me, Your Inquisitor, is simply because I am poor in your eyes, and the slaves can only toil in the factories until they die. Yes, you can. ”
Speaking of this, Nero made a gesture with his right hand, and a maid immediately handed over a phone from the side, and the lord raised the phone, dialed a number, and said: "I order, starting today, let the slaves rest for two days, and add chicken legs to dinner!"
After speaking, Nero hung up the phone, then looked at Wang Zhiran and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Nero's actions made Wang Zhiran a little surprised, he always felt that something was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it.
And Nero's words sounded again: "Lord Inquisitor, the word slave is indeed hard to hear, if you don't like it, I can change it to a citizen." If you think those citizens are tired from morning to night in the factory, I can just let them work eight hours a day, or even two days off every seven days. ”
"But do you think that will change the fate of them having to work in the factory? Everyone will imagine that they can eat and die at home, but does that so-called paradise exist in reality? If everyone eats and dies at home, how will the empire develop?"
"I'll tell you the truth, Your Majesty. Even if I were the lord of this world, I wouldn't be able to lie here and wait to die. I can tell you unequivocally that the Empire pays me a fixed amount of 50% of Titan-Two's annual revenue. I have to rack my brains every day to sell what my planet produces. You know, there are so many planets in the empire, and these products are not the only ones that can be produced here. ”
"If I don't pay my taxes one day, then a judge like you will come and take my head in the name of disloyalty. ”
As he spoke, Nero summoned another maid, buried his head in the maid's chest, and sighed, "So now, I can only sleep peacefully by burying my head in a woman's chest." ”
Only then did Wang Zhiran understand that in fact, this lord's life was not easy, behind the glamorous appearance, he was also under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
At this time, Nero pushed the maid away, looked at Wang Zhiran and said, "The inquisitors are all people who dare to face the dark truth of despair. But it is precisely because they are used to seeing those dark truths that they become numb, and the original goodness from the heart gradually disappears. But you are different, Judge Wang Zhiran, you still retain this kindness. That's why you're going to complain about those slaves. ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Nero's face and he said, "Hold on to the goodness in your heart, that's a good thing." ”
"Well, it tastes good. ”
At this time, Eleven on the side suddenly made a sound, attracting the attention of the others, only to see her raise her head and say to the lord Nero: "Lord Lord, I think you have brought the judge this time, it should be more than just a simple matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust, right?"
Could it be that there is something else?Eleven's words directly woke up Wang Zhiran, making him look at Nero, who drank back those maids, and said to Wang Zhiran with a serious expression: "Lord Inquisitor, the first thing I want to tell you is that the Star Wars that came to Titan-2 to support were not only the Blood Raven Wars, but another Star Wars Group was also involved. ”
Wang Zhiran frowned and asked, "Is there another Star Wars Clan?"
Nero replied, "Not all Star Wars will be open about their actions, so even as a lord, I only know that there is another Star Wars here, and I don't know their specific identity. That's not the point, though. ”
Wang Zhiran immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"This invasion of greenskins is probably not ordinary. Because yesterday my people received a mysterious message, which seems to be from the Star Wars whose name is unknown. The message mentions that behind this Greenskin invasion, there may be a powerful Greenskin warlord. ”
Nero looked at Wang Zhiran and said, "I believe that Your Excellency the Inquisitor should understand what the appearance of a green-skinned warlord means. So please tell the soldiers of the Star Wars who are fighting, and let them deal with it carefully. Of course, this is tomorrow's business, so please start enjoying this table today, Your Excellency!"
Wang Zhiran himself didn't know what happened next, but he only vaguely remembered the embrace of countless maids later, as well as Eleven's meaningful smiling face. When he came back to his senses, Wang Zhiran found that he had been lying in a luxurious bathtub that could fit four or five people.
"I knew that this battle couldn't be that simple, and the greenskinned warlords weren't easy to deal with. In addition, Wang Zhiran, who was sitting in the bathtub, carefully recalled everything that had happened before, and immediately understood what was going on, and shouted: "Eleven, did you deliberately let me pay attention to the slavery promoted here!"
"That's right, it's me. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Eleven sitting on the edge of the bathtub, looking at Wang Zhiran with great temperament, and said with a smile: "Actually, Xiao Wang, you should know that there is no best system, only the most suitable." So only slavery can be used here. Also, don't look at me expectantly, I won't take a shower with anyone other than the Thirteenth Sister unless ordered to do so by my superiors. ”
"Who is looking at you with expectant eyes!" Wang Zhiran couldn't help arguing: "I have a lover!"
"Okay, no kidding, Xiao Wang, what do you think of the lord's words?"
"If there is a warlord behind this Greenskin invasion, then this information must be told to Captain Cesar. So I'm going to go back tomorrow. ”
"Xiao Wang, you're starting to look decent. Eleven said, "By the way, your inquisitor uniform has been washed, and you can wear it tomorrow and go to battle." ”
