Chapter Eighty-Three: Capital is Sin
In this regard, there is no difference between the state and the believers in the kingdom of God, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the business model of the state is not very similar to the belief system of the kingdom of God.
It's just for wealth, human beings pursue the difference in individual wealth within the human group, and become strong in wealth, so there is a description of "rich rival country", the so-called wealth is power, and money makes the ghost grind, such a rich person is not a reason with the individual strength can easily destroy a country's saints? !
Unlike belief systems, they are not about wealth, but about strength.
Scholars, teachers, and masters are like workers, craftsmen, and industry masters on the path of human pursuit of wealth, and they are all able to concentrate on their own research and improve their level.
If the situation is in the enterprise, it is the grassroots personnel, who can grow through self-education or company training.
Arcanists use faith to improve their strength in advance to become magicians or priests, swordsmen to immerse themselves in faith in advance, accelerate their strength to become knights, ascetics, etc., just like the talents cultivated by the company, through the indoctrination and education of companies with mature experience, their production efficiency can of course be significantly improved, but this "internal training diploma" is only useful within their own enterprises, and if you want to enter the management, you can only enter your own enterprises!
The legendary and epic level powerhouses need to begin to sense and use the power of God, specifically the need to use God, or the belief system of God's kingdom, and such a strong person can correspond to grassroots supervisors such as workshop directors of fund-raising enterprises, listed companies, etc., and middle-level supervisors such as department managers and workshop leaders of enterprises.
These are all manifestations of the influence of individuals within the enterprise, and they can use the power of the enterprise and the company to do countless things that people think are incredible, such as infrastructure ...... And legendary masters such as the legendary mercenary Cecil can even swing a sword to unleash flames!
Saints can be regarded as the president, general manager and other executives of an enterprise, and their influence on the kingdom of God and the enterprise is incredibly powerful, and they can make their own "voice" on behalf of the entire enterprise.
But because the sage himself and his "shares" to support him are not enough, then his consciousness will be slowly eroded by the "will" of the enterprise, and eventually inevitably become a mouthpiece for shareholders, or because he can't do it, he will simply retire and become a small shareholder "heroic spirit".
God can be the chief executive of a business and belong to the majority shareholder, while His heroic spirit is sensible and belongs to the minority shareholder.
However, the kingdom of God is not a corporation in the end, and the difference between them is that God, the majority shareholder, is not a person or a family, but a group will, that is, the will of the majority, and he is not elected by the shareholders.
——————————————————————————
Thanks to the development of the "science" of magic and alchemy, industries closely related to people's livelihood, such as the food industry such as land raising, breeding, and planting, animal husbandry, brewing, baking, and meat smoking and preservation, as mentioned above, have all been improved to a certain extent in a "scientific" way.
But even if productivity improves, if there are no external forces to limit population growth, it will be a drop in the bucket for the growing population.
However, there are still demonic beasts in the Rizel continent, which makes it difficult for powerful humans to go out, although it is not very difficult, but it is not absolutely safe, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, as well as the need for magic cores in order to suppress the development of demonic power and magic, from time to time the kingdom needs to form an army to crusade against fierce demonic beasts in the territory under its jurisdiction, and mercenaries hunt demonic beasts to the death for huge wealth, etc., all of which have brought a huge number of attrition to the population.
So the irony is that even a country like Tessali, which claims to be neutral and good, should be sincerely grateful to the monsters that represent calamity and destruction, to the unpredictable calamities, to the vile greed and desires, and even to the merciless and bloody wars......
The simplest and cruelest reality here is that because of the decades-long sacrifices of the soldiers in the city of Lali in order to fight against the invasion of Bommer, the dedication of the soldiers and warriors to kill the boss in the dark forest, and even the countless deaths of those greedy mercenaries, it is rare for a kingdom like Tessali to starve to death.
Not only that, but few people starved to death, and the country even became rich because of it!
After all, people need to pay taxes and consume if they want to live a better life, but the property left by the dead cannot be taken away, and in the end it will have to fall into the hands of the state, and the country will only get richer and richer, and as the top of the kingdom, it will naturally complete the primitive accumulation of capital.
The accumulation of capital further promoted the development and transformation of the productive forces of Rizel, and slowly satisfied the needs of the living human beings to meet the empty spiritual entertainment, so the banquet has been more complicated to develop, and even almost become a diplomatic means, after all, life in the world is inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The banquet between the nobles has the etiquette of sending an invitation card when the invitation is notified to the guests, and the invitation card will generally write the theme of the banquet and the order and items of the menu, so that the guests can be mentally prepared enough to not make a fool of themselves.
The guests at the meeting have all read the invitations, so there will be no waste of eating when they see what is on the table, but when the main dish is served, they can't eat it.
......
After the first glass of wine, those who can't drink will eat a piece of bread or vegetable salad coated with honey to cushion their empty stomachs, and they will be good again.
The seating arrangement was one on one side, with Charles himself in the main seat showing his home advantage, and the fact that Tessari's men were so much more in such a confined space than Bommer's could put invisible pressure on the arrivals even more significantly, as the slightly restrained movements of the six guards could be seen to be effective.
But Burns is an old fox, Charles really can't see through it, but he doesn't think so, anyway, he just has to do everything he can, he just needs to receive this guest well, so he spoke:
"Your Excellency Burns, this red wine comes from our small town of Raff on the shore of Lake Tessalily, and it is carefully cultivated and brewed by the Raff family funded by the royal family of Tessali, and the production is not high and it is not exported for export, how about you taste it and comment on it?"
