Chapter 232: Nobles and Soul Masters, Bai Ge on Douluo! (2/4)
At this time, the opening ceremony of the noble hall had officially begun, and a supervisor transferred by Malena from a certain city took the stage and began to preside over the opening ceremony.
"Brother Xue, the VIP seats are full, let's go upstairs in the noble hall to have a look."
Finding that the VIP seats prepared were already full, Bai Ge couldn't help but say a little apologetically to Xue Qinghe.
"It's okay, let's go."
Xue Qinghe nodded gently.
took Xue Qinghe through the crowd, and finally came to the restaurant where the noble hall was located.
There are three floors in the Guiren Hall, with a total height of about fifty meters, Bai Ge took Xue Qinghe all the way to the third floor, looking at the stage and the crowd below from the balcony of the third floor, the gorgeous stage and the crowd under the stage are dense like a tide, which looks like a special taste.
"Bai Ge, is this noble hall your property?"
Looking at the stage not far below, Xue Qinghe asked softly.
"Guirentang is not my property, but I can get a part of the income of Guirentang for some reason, so I can barely be regarded as a shareholder of Guirentang."
Bai Ge smiled.
"What is a shareholder?"
Xue Qinghe was a little curious.
"Shareholders...... This, I don't know how to explain this, let's use an analogy, if Guirentang can earn a hundred gold soul coins every month, which is the total net income, then the shareholder is the person who can also share these benefits in addition to the boss.
Even if you don't have the status of a boss, but you enjoy the treatment of the boss, the specific income is your own shares multiplied by the total income, and the shares are the proportion of the total income that has been negotiated. ”
Bai Ge also didn't know how to explain it, after all, he didn't study economics in college, so he could only express his superficial understanding.
"Is there any benefit to such a system?"
Xue Qinghe continued to ask.
"The advantage of this is that the shareholder system can be regarded as giving hope to the employees under him.
If capable employees can get shares through their own efforts, then they will work harder for the noble hall, which can speed up the efficiency of their work, which is the same as governing the country.
The king could not run the country alone, so he needed to be crowned a nobleman, and if the king was regarded as the boss of the state, then the nobleman was equivalent to the shareholder of the state, but compared with the commercial joint-stock system, the feudal system of the aristocracy was too flawed. ”
Bai Ge also forgot that Xue Qinghe beside him was the "prince", and directly said his opinions on the backward system of the Douluo Continent by the way.
"Are there any disadvantages to the feudal nobility?"
Hearing Bai Ge's words, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but be even more curious.
You must know that the aristocratic feudal system is a system that has been used in all countries in the Douluo Continent, and in Xue Qinghe's opinion, there should be no shortcomings, otherwise how could it still be used.
"It's a big drawback!"
Bai Ge sneered.
"Do you know the difference between a nobleman and a commoner?"
"One is noble, the other is low?"
Xue Qinghe asked tentatively.
"Wrong!"
Bai Ge shook his head.
"The main difference between nobles and commoners is that the descendants of nobles are still nobles, and the descendants of commoners are always commoners, and if they don't become soul masters, commoners can never become nobles.
Although the descendants of the nobles are nobles, but the quality is uneven, most of the first generation of nobles are fine, but most of the nobles of the later generations are mixed and waiting for death, worthless, if some policies are not formulated, most of the nobles will eventually become moths of the country.
On the contrary, although most civilians do not have anything outstanding, if they can be educated, many excellent talents can emerge from among the civilians.
However, compared with soul masters, most civilian lives have not yet reached the subsistence line, like when I was a child, my grandfather's monthly income was less than one silver soul coin.
But a soul master, even the lowest-level soul master, can receive a subsidy of one gold soul coin every month, do you think this is reasonable? ”
Bai Ge asked.
"It should be reasonable, right? After all, it's a soul master......"
Xue Qinghe's voice was a little weak.
Although he knew that the soul master could receive a subsidy of one Golden Soul Coin from the Martial Spirit Hall a month, he had never known that a civilian's income was less than one Golden Soul Coin a year......
Because the currencies on the Douluo Continent are Copper Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Golden Soul Coins, this may sound a little incompatible, but if you compare the Copper Soul Coin to one dollar, the Silver Soul Coin is ten yuan, and the Golden Soul Coin is one hundred yuan.
Ordinary civilians can't earn a hundred yuan a year of hard work, but a soul master who is almost useless can easily receive the money earned by a commoner's hard work for a year, this is too nonsense!
The powerful and gifted soul master Bai Ge recognized their role, but some soul masters who obviously had no talent, instead of eating the empire's finances worthlessly every month and doing hopeless cultivation, it was better to engage in more valuable careers, such as engaging in the research and development of various soul guides, the breeding and optimization of crops such as grain, helping to refine minerals, and so on.
But most of the soul masters were eventually either accepted by the nobles as retainers or joined the soul hunting group, and basically no soul masters would engage in production-related work, and they all ran away to be warriors!
The human beings on the earth have developed aerospace technology in only a few thousand years, but the Douluo Continent has been around for tens of thousands of years, and it is still spinning in the deformed Middle Ages, and the fundamental reason for this is the soul master's misunderstanding of his own role.
"Soul Master? Oh, I agree with their status as powerful soul masters, because they are strong enough to act as a deterrent force to avoid the occurrence of a national war, but they are only powerful, but they do not have a full understanding of their own value.
I don't want to talk about anything else, let's just say a plant-based soul master with a first-level innate soul power, even if they practice until death, they can basically only stop the soul master or the great soul master, but because of the atmosphere on the mainland, they are often still doing meaningless cultivation until death, do you think it is useful?
Although they can't become powerful soul masters, they actually have other greater roles, like martial souls for rice, they can use their martial souls to speed up the growth of the surrounding rice, and they can completely make the yield of an acre of land skyrocket.
However, these soul masters are often taken in by the nobles for their own use, and only let them produce the food they need, but a soul master like this can make a village have a good harvest all the time.
There are also fire-attribute beast martial soul soul masters, compared to ordinary people and some instrument soul masters who are blacksmiths, many fire-attribute beast martial soul soul masters are obviously more suitable for blacksmiths.
In the end, I think the most deformed thing is the soul guide, obviously there is such a magical soul guide on the mainland, why do they almost only use ready-made soul guides, and no one studies it?
Since there are storage soul guides, amplified soul guides, and printed soul guides, why can't there be iron-smelting soul guides, mining soul guides, ship soul guides, and flying soul guides?
All in all, I found that soul guides are used to meet the various needs of soul masters, and no one has studied the role of soul guides for production, but in fact, if there are these soul guides, it can greatly accelerate the development of a country.
Think about how easy it would be to produce steel and swords if there were mining and iron-making soul guides, and how convenient transportation would be with flying soul guides.
Soul masters rely too much on soul rings, but the generation of soul beasts can't keep up with the generation of soul masters, a soul master's lifetime of cultivation needs to kill one to nine soul beasts, and compared with most human beings with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, these soul beasts often need a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years of cultivation.
Over time, soul beasts will become extinct one day, and what will humans do when the time comes? ?
I think you'll still have to rely on the soul guide when the time comes, but if you can, you should try to protect the soul beast as much as possible. ”
Bai Ge sighed.
