Chapter 16 is a question of whether to add or not!4

After listening quietly to the voice outside the door for a while, the duchess turned to Yu Wuming and said, "Let's talk about you, there was a bit of a misunderstanding at noon, I think it has been clarified now, and we can continue the topic at noon." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yu Wuming glanced at the lobster on his plate, put down the knife and fork, and looked at the duchess with a very interesting look: "I said Lord Duke, I still don't know what your name is, don't you think I should talk about you first?"

"Don't you already know my name?"

"Oh?!you don't really talk about Xiaowei, do you?" Yu Wuming was surprised, he decided to buy a lottery ticket after dinner, if the world had one.

"Yes, my name is Xiaowei, Lu Xiaowei, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Have you decided that you are really born and raised here? Isn't your hair dyed?" Yu Wuming had 10,000 camels running in his heart, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, Lu Xiaowei, the deputy manager of the bank who had just agreed to be in the same place with him.

"I decided, and certainly, and firmly told you, that I was a Frank and had never been to any other country, though I had always wanted to. Xiaowei said the first half of the sentence very firmly, and then said the second half of the sentence with a broken face.

"Don't worry, when I have money, I will definitely take you abroad to play!" Yu Wuming answered very brainlessly, and only after saying that, I thought about it, I seemed to have said this sentence to someone.

"Heh~, you're such a good person. Xiaowei covered her mouth and smiled.

Yu Wusheng's face collapsed in laughter and said, "Please don't say this to me." ”

"Why?"

"I just said that to my 46th girlfriend. Yu Wusheng stopped and made a memorial form.

"And then?"

Then she said the same thing as you. There have been 45 girls who have said the same thing to me before. ”

"And then?"

"No more, after all the girls said this to me, they all said that I have something to do today, and then there is no then, so I am allergic to this sentence. Yu Wuming said.

"And then?"

"Huh?"

"That Xiaowei, I guess it should be your girlfriend, how many years is she yours?"

"How do you know she's my girlfriend?" Yu Wuming was curious.

"Who was yelling at Xiaowei in the morning~, and then brainlessly rushed into a group of thugs to block me? I think it must be your girlfriend who can make you act so brave, and do I really look like her?" Xiaowei also asked curiously.

"Yes, you and she are really the same except for the color of your hair. And your name and her name are the same. Yu Wuming nodded and said.

"Heh~, is it true? She is also called Lu Xiaowei, Vivian, von Ekaterine, Romanovna?"

"Oh, the name is not that long, her name is Lu Xiaowei. ”

At this moment, the door was opened, and the hotel's chef and buyer, accompanied by Jack, came in, and as soon as the two entered, they nodded to the two noble lords.

Xiao Wei pointed to the lobster in front of Yu Wusheng and said, "How much does this cost?"

The chef said first: "This lobster is 1 gold coin in this restaurant, if you want to ask how much money you entered, you have to ask him." After speaking, he pointed to the side of the purchase.

Cai Mai also hurriedly took over the conversation: "The purchase price of this shrimp is 10 silver coins." ”

"What, that's too big, isn't it?" said Xiaowei in surprise.

Yu Wuming said unhurriedly on the side: "Where is the origin of this shrimp?"

"Port of Hamburg. ”

"How much does it cost in the port of Hamburg?"

"I heard the shrimp dealer say it's 10 copper coins each. ”

"What? So cheap? How is it possible? Then why is this hotel selling for 1 gold coin?"

Yu Wuming continued to ask, "How many noble leaders do you have to pass along the way?"

"If you go back to the earl, you have to pass through more than 10 big cities and more than 20 small towns from Hamburg to our town, and you have to take a transit tax ranging from 5% to 20% for each place you pass, so you will need 10 silver coins to get to us. ”

"Then you don't have to sell it for 1 gold coin! it's 10 times over!" Xiaowei continued to speak mindlessly.

"The boss behind this hotel is also a big nobleman, right? And are you mainly engaged in the business of nobles?" Yu Wuming continued unhurriedly.

"Yes, our chain is owned by royalty. The cook straightened his hunched waist.

"Ah?!" Xiaowei blushed, feeling that this store was still opened by herself.

This royal sign is worth 80 silver coins, and the exclusive one for the nobility is also worth 10 silver coins, plus the cost of 10 silver coins, exactly 100 silver coins, isn't it just 1 gold coin?" Yu Wuming stared at Xiaowei with his eyes.

"Ahh

"The Earl is right, this is such a small place as ours, if it is in a big city, it will be more expensive, at least 5 gold coins. The cook said.

Xiaowei held her forehead and waved at the chef and Caimai, signaling that they could go out. The two men bowed to Xiao Wei and the two and exited the room.

Yu Wuming said to Xiaowei: "See, a small seaside man caught a boatload of lobsters, but this one is not as expensive as this one, they can't afford to eat these things they worked so hard to catch!"

In this way, the gap between the rich and the poor will only get bigger and bigger, the nobles will live more and more rich, and the poor will become poorer and poorer.

"What then, do you want to abolish the nobility now?" Xiaowei finally heard something.

"The aristocracy will be canceled sooner or later, of course, the title can still be retained, but the privileges will be canceled, but not now, the current people are not at all able to reach such a high level of people's wisdom, and now the abolition will only make them confused, and even they will rise up to rebel and put a nobleman who is willing to continue to implement the aristocracy to the throne. ”

"No, are these civilians so stupid?" asked Xiaowei, puzzled.

"Commoners are not stupid, maybe one or two have a lower IQ, but they can't stand the number of people, and the commoners are several times more than the nobles, and the reason why they oppose the people who break the shackles for them is because their ideas are not yet up to it, and they don't see how important it is for them to break the shackles.

I went down the mountain today, and saw several manors at the foot of the mountain, where countless commoners were working in the fields, and they were very happy, I thought that these fields were their own, and I asked them while I was resting, but I did not expect that these fields belonged to the local nobles, and they were only serfs of the nobles.

I was surprised, I didn't expect these serfs to be so happy, I also asked them, these nobles are good to them, they all said that the nobles are very good to them, give them a house to live in, give them food, and can eat meat two or three times a month, especially those bachelors, the nobles will find them a daughter-in-law. ”

Xiao Wei interrupted Yu Wusheng's words and asked, "Do you only eat meat two or three times a month?"

"Surprised? There's nothing surprising about it, in fact, the requirements of civilians are really low, very low, as long as they have a place to live, as long as they have enough food and warm clothing, they will not have higher requirements.

I asked them how about giving them all these lands and letting them grow their own if these nobles disappeared, do you know what their reaction was?" Yu Wuming had a very funny smile on his face and threw the question to Xiaowei.

"I'm sure they must be jubilant!" Xiaowei smiled and waved her little fist.

"No, they were terrified, and they were ready to arrest me and send me to the officials, because they did not believe that they could plant good land without the leadership of the nobles, and they did not know what to plant in the field in the spring, and to whom the harvest should be sold when the harvest was in the fall, and who to find to make up for the leakage of their house, and who would arrange for them to marry when it was time to find a daughter-in-law. ”

Xiaowei looked at Yu Wusheng in disbelief, Yu Wusheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is the status quo, the commoners will not survive without the nobility, because no one has taught them, this can only be reversed by strengthening education, only those children go to school, they have learned knowledge, and they can slowly learn to live independently after they have their own knowledge."

Many of the children you saw in the back alleys are children of these families, because they don't have any money in their families, and they live on the rations of the nobles every day, and if you want to eat something good, you can try your luck in the kitchens of these hotels and inns in the town, and maybe there is food that the nobles haven't touched.

They think it's very stable, they don't have to worry about life, they enjoy it, so I say that now is not the time to abolish the aristocracy, the commoners are still dependent on the aristocracy to live, once more and more people learn to know, learn the skills of life, their minds will become more and more enlightened, they can learn to be independent, only then can the aristocracy be abolished. ”

"If these commoners are allowed to go to school from now on, how long will it take to abolish the aristocracy?" Xiao Wei's face showed a serious look.

"Don't think about it for two or three hundred years. In fact, the aristocracy does not necessarily have to be abolished, as long as the nobles learn self-discipline and the laws of the country keep up, the aristocracy will become the backbone of the country, will become a role model for the commoners, and give the commoners a step for promotion, they will burst out with amazing power.

Like the current aristocratic system is not very suitable, now is not the beginning of the founding of the country, the nobles at the beginning of the founding of the country are all working hard by themselves, they know the suffering of the commoners, and how many of the current nobles still know the suffering of the commoners?

This kind of aristocracy without promotion and decline will only create a group of moths!"
