Chapter 319: Justice and Slavery
The Palace.
The King of the Earth sat on a chair made of pure gold, his eyes swept left and right, only to see the four great clans sitting on the left, and the four lords of Bai Ze, Tu Shan, Fox, and Foxy on the right.
The atmosphere was unusually solemn.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
The King of the Earth suddenly asked.
This movement has been fermented into wine, he can't have just known about it, he already knew, but at that time, it was aimed at the third-class race of human beings, it was not illegal, to put it mildly, it was shameless, and at that time, the price of alcohol rose, everyone was holding back a sense of resentment, and he couldn't say anything, the price of this wine did rise a little outrageously, he could only order the fox to maintain law and order, dissatisfied to dissatisfied, you can't break the law.
But now it is different, the human race has retreated from the hump of the cow, and the secret of alcohol has been revealed, and the price of alcohol is also falling further and further on the road of sharp decline, and it stands to reason that this movement should also be quelled.
However, far from quelling, this movement has intensified, and has a tendency to attack the traditional law.
The king of the earth can no longer sit idly by.
Tu Shanshi immediately stood up and said, "Wang, I don't think this matter is simple, it seems that there are some powerful people behind it. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the candle nine yin opposite.
"How can such a thing happen?"
The King of the Earth looked shocked and said, "Have you found any evidence?" ”
Tu Shan shook his head and said: "I haven't found any evidence, but this incident happened too strangely, and it was not that the price had not been raised because of disasters before, but it has never been like this time, and the speed of spread is very fast, as if someone deliberately spread the news throughout the country." ”
When she spoke, she had been paying attention to the four major clans opposite, but the four seemed to be in a fixed position, and they had nothing to do with themselves, this was actually their consistent style, under normal circumstances, they didn't care about anything, they were just listening, and the main masters of internal affairs were Bai Ze and Tu Shan.
When the king of the earth heard this, his face was disappointed.
Bai Ze suddenly said: "Wang, I thought that there was a royal family behind this matter that was secretly manipulating, and we could wait until later to investigate, at this time we should hurry up to stop the spread of this situation, this is the top priority!" ”
The King of the Earth nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of plan Wen Zai has?" ”
Bai Ze said: "The king should issue a notice to appease those second-class races first, so that they don't have to worry, the kingdom will not abolish the previous laws, so that those royal families can know that the determination of the royal city to uphold the law cannot be changed, and at the same time notify the lords of the mountains and mountains, let them maintain the local law and order, and anyone who dares to violate the law will be severely punished." ”
The King of the Earth nodded slightly, suddenly looked at Candle Jiuyin and them, and said, "I wonder what the four war clans think about this?" ”
The old man said: "Wang, I think Wen Zai's policy is too weak, although they have not broken the law, but they are questioning the law, which is even more hateful than breaking the law, this will even shake the foundation of our kingdom, the king should strictly prohibit them from questioning the law, if necessary, you can catch a few leaders, in order to deter them." ”
"Old man, can this be stopped?"
Candle Jiuyin suddenly laughed.
As soon as he spoke, Bai Ze and Tu Shan's eyes were focused on him.
The words they said earlier were actually pretending, that is, testing the candle nine yin. This Bai Ze is the wisest royal family in the kingdom, Li Qi has guessed some, can he not think of this.
But he is one thing different from Li Qi, Li Qi doesn't have any evidence, but Li Qi is sure that Candle Jiuyin is manipulating, and all his countermeasures are based on this, and Bai Ze has read a lot of books, he has no evidence, he is not sure, he has to see if Candle Jiuyin will make a statement, if it is not Candle Jiuyin is manipulating, then this matter will be much easier.
Shui Qilin was not angry and arrogant, and said, "Why do you say that this can't help it? ”
Candle Nine**: "Then let's just when I didn't say it." ”
The King of the Earth immediately said, "I also want to hear what the Blood Golden Duke thinks about this?" ”
Candle Jiuyin stood up and said: "Wang, I think Da Bei's view on this matter is biased, she said that there have been disasters in the past that caused prices to rise, but not like now, I want to ask Da Bei, are you sure that there was no royal family at that time who thought so?" Maybe they just put up with it at the time. ”
Tu Shanshi frowned and groaned a little, and said, "I'm not sure about this, but anyway, this situation has never happened before. ”
Candle Nine**: "In my opinion, that's exactly why. In the past, they were holding back and not saying it, but one day, they will not be able to hold back, then they will have to say it, just like now, I don't think this kind of thing can be manipulated, go and look at the royal family that complains, they are not a special group of royal families, they come from all walks of life, all classes. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "Based on this situation, even if there is a certain royal family manipulating behind the scenes, it must be based on the fact that those royal families already have resentment in their hearts, otherwise, they will not listen." Moon Jae, do you think I'm right? ”
Bai Ze nodded and said, "The blood gold is reasonable. ”
Candle Jiuyin said again: "Therefore, I think that this kind of thing is unavoidable, even if we can not allow them to say it, but we can't eliminate the resentment in their hearts, I agree with what Wen Zai said, is there anyone behind the manipulation, you can investigate in the future, but the top priority is to understand what the reason for this movement is, and then prescribe the right medicine." ”
"If it's anything else, I'd agree with your suggestion. But. ”
Shui Qilin looked at Candle Jiu with a pair of old eyes majestically***: "What they question is the law, although these laws are related to the surrounding second-class races, but don't forget, these laws are the foundation of our kingdom, without these laws, there would be no kingdom today, if those laws are changed, then our kingdom will no longer exist, so we must let them understand that this is unquestionable, and it cannot be changed, if anyone has any objections to this, he must be punished." ”
Bai Ze nodded and said, "Lan Jin Gong is right, if the law is allowed to be changed by us, then the law will lose its authority and fairness, so can we still expect everyone to obey the law?" ”
"You're right." Candle Jiuyin nodded with a smile, and said: "The reason why we defend the law so much is that its main purpose is to maintain our kingdom, but now, many, many royal families have questioned those laws, and their doubts are not completely unreasonable, so why can't we revise the law now and its purpose is also to maintain our kingdom?" ”
"What a joke."
Shui Qilin said: "Their questioning is shameless and unreasonable, this is simply a shame for our royal family, and you still say that they are reasonable." ”
Candle Jiuyin smiled and said: "Old man, you have always been fair and strict, so let me ask you, is the nature of the law to be fair?" ”
"Of course." Water Kirin Road.
"But the problem is that the laws are not fair, especially for our royal family." Candle Nine**: "Then humans are just a third-class race, but they can come to our kingdom to build factories, and they can hire our royal family to do things for them, but what about our royal family?" Isn't it fair that we royal families can't go to other races' territory to build factories? ”
Shui Qilin said: "Don't you know the reason for this?" Or have you forgotten the lessons of the Seventh Race? ”
Candle Nine**: "I haven't forgotten, but I think we are overkill, and we should give some corrections, if most of the royal family questions this law, it proves that there is something wrong with this law, and if we ignore it, it will only make things worse." ”
Bai Ze said suddenly: "Then I don't know what it means to use blood and gold, how to amend these laws?" ”
Candle Nine**: "I think that as long as there are slight modifications, we can calm the anger of the public, first, allow our royal family to go to the territory of the second-class race to trade and build factories. Second, the tax on property owners and traders was increased, and the tax on ordinary royal families was reduced. ”
"Never."
Tu Shan immediately stood up and said: "The reason why we don't allow the royal family to build factories in the territory of the second-class races is because our royal family is stronger than those second-class races in any way, and we still control the currency and resources, once our royal family goes, their owners will all go bankrupt, and what you want is not fairness, but to enslave other second-class races." That's why we made this law in the first place, to prevent our royal family from using trade to enslave other races. ”
Candle Jiuyin smiled: "This is just your speculation, how can you be sure that our royal clan will definitely enslave them?" Isn't that what it is like to make a deal, human beings also employ our royal family in the cow hump, so can you say that human beings are enslaving our royal family, in fact, this is why many royal families were dissatisfied with this in the first place, it is because of this law that they think that this is a kind of slavery. Taking a step back, at the beginning, our royal family's thinking was not mature, so this law was set, but now our royal family is very mature, and I think that even if our royal family goes, we will not bully them, let alone enslave them. ”
"It's an economic issue, not a racial issue." Tu Shan said: "Even if our royal family goes to them and does not bully the big with the small, but with our financial resources, it is enough to buy everything from them and monopolize everything they have, and sooner or later they will become our slaves, which is absolutely infeasible." ”
Candle Jiuyin sneered: "Of course you say so, it is precisely because of these laws that your Nine-Tails family can have today's status, because these laws restrict most of the royal families, only with the financial resources of your Nine-Tails family, can you trade with other races, let's just say human wine, if our royal family can go to the Huaxia Alliance to build a winery, can your Nine-Tails family still monopolize wine?"
It is precisely because of these legal restrictions that the wealth of our kingdom has become more and more unbalanced. Da Bei, you have been in charge of the finances, you should know, why wine can be sold so expensive, the fundamental reason is not the snow disaster, but because the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, those big producers, spend seventy colored shells to buy wine, without even blinking an eye, while the ordinary royal family can't afford to drink at all, this is why I want to increase the tax of the big producer, reduce the tax of the ordinary royal family, I only know that all unfair laws will not last long. ”
