Chapter 775: Talent in the Sand

Locke was speechless....

This is how capitalist societies are... Naked. This is why the nobles, although they were unwilling, decided to let go of their grasp of knowledge and change the way of the landed aristocracy in the past...

Locke also thought that in such a society, it would be a long time before someone would discover the mend, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and someone would discover this core problem...

"Whether it's a trading company set up by His Majesty the King, or any other kind of factory... The same is true of the factories and companies that are on the bulletin boards and recruiting workers every day, and the essence has not changed at all. ”

"Nominally, it's about helping civilians and making their lives better. But in the end, most of the wealth they make will be acquired by His Majesty or someone else. Turner smiled bitterly, "Of course there will be benefits, His Majesty will definitely not exploit the commoners who work in his company too much like other nobles..."

"Moreover, His Majesty the King will not extend his hand too much to the commoners in the kingdom in order to make the whole government work, so that the commoners in the kingdom can live. On the contrary, other nobles and merchants were not necessarily the same. If Your Majesty is short of money... The future nobles and merchants may also become the cash cow of His Majesty and the Prime Minister..."

"The system is like this, and if it is not done, the system of government that Your Majesty has painstakingly built cannot be sustained. If you can't sustain it, you won't be able to achieve the goals you set before, and everything will go down the drain..."

"At that time, if the big merchants and nobles do not cooperate, Your Majesty may have other means. If these people dare to threaten the lives of the people and make His Majesty regress, then His Majesty's companies that meddle in all walks of life will act as a backhand against those nobles and merchants who do not obey the management, and completely crush them commercially. ”

"Because at that time in Lordaeron, there was probably no merchant who could compete with the royal company...."

Locke unbuttoned the first button under the collar of his dress with some discomfort, and he picked up the glass and put it to his lips to hide his embarrassed look.

Alas, there is no way.

This is how it was designed, the development of the kingdom must be centralized, science and technology must be climbed, and troops must be exploded... Only in this way can the enemy of the future be defeated. The scattered feudal system could not do this in a short period of time. But then again, if Locke is asked to give up the rights that he has so hard to get, Locke is definitely not willing. If you don't have the right to speak, what are you doing?

Besides, if you don't have power, where should you be?

"His Majesty the King promotes universal education, although ostensibly for the sake of the people at the bottom. But in essence, it's more for the future. It will allow Lordaeron to go further on the way forward, in order to surpass other human kingdoms in the future, and even lay the foundation for unification! ”

"Because the popularization of knowledge will not only benefit the people, but also promote the increasingly important scientific and technological progress of Iva . Although we look down on goblins, we have to admit that the goblin race has far more knowledge than us Lordaerons. Among them, even the lowest-ranking apprentices were proficient in writing lingua franca, dwarven language, and dwarf language. Some even speak the language of the Night Elves! ”

"Before, I didn't know how this had to do with the development of technology, but now I understand. Ignorance and ignorance are the biggest reasons for the self-depravity of the common people of Lordaeron! So I rejoice in the fact that Your Majesty has provided enlightenment! Because only by improving the knowledge level of the people on a large scale will Lordaeron's weak scientific and technological level be improved, and can it help Lordaeron in an all-round way in the future! As for how to help Lordaeron..."

"A very simple example, like the machine that appears in the field today and harvests its own ripe wheat fields, with this thing called a harvester, there is no need for a large number of civilians to work hard in the fields anymore. So there are some problems, smart people want to be richer, they will find a way to buy the land of other civilians, buy more land to grow food or other crops, and then buy more machines to harvest... Circulate... And what will happen to those short-sighted civilians who have sold their land after they have squandered the money from the sale of their land? What if there is no land for them to eat? You can only enter the factory as a worker, become a soldier of the kingdom, or be active in all corners of the kingdom and contribute to the building of the kingdom..."

"Then everything begins in a cycle, going into the factories of the great nobles and merchants, creating goods, getting paid, spending their salaries, and then continuing to work and getting paid.... The value they created became a meal for the nobility, a tax collected by the royal family, stored in the treasury and turned into gold coins, which lay there until the day it was activated..."

"If there is a possibility that this cycle will be ended, then it will expand outward, divert domestic contradictions, and at the same time benefit more people. And only those who are affected are the conquered people in the region..."

"If that's what you say, why don't you do something about it? What about making yourself richer in the future? Locke asked, tapping lightly on the table.

Turner spread his hands and smiled casually, "Because I don't have any money!" In fact, there's never been a better time to make money. The nobles and lords are still in a wait-and-see state for this model, and this is the greatest opportunity for the common businessmen to gain a firm foothold. If you wait for the nobles to react, it will still be difficult for the commoners to come out. ”

Well, that's a good excuse.

"So the end result is that the royal family will be rich, very rich. Other nobles and far-sighted merchants will also be rich. But their money will become a potential money bag for the royal family... Because this group of nobles has no arms of their own, they can only hope for the reputation of the royal family...."

Turner looked at Locke helplessly, "That's how things are, if you really want me to look at this reform." All I can say is that the person who made this process must have been a very smart person. He's thinking for centuries to come, no, maybe thousands of years. He laid down a new system of integrity for the future. But this system is based on the exploitation of the people. But then again, although no one wants to talk about the past, I still have to say that compared with the serfdom of the past, this is already a very civilized means of rule. ”

"And I have to admit that if I had been in His Majesty's position, I would have chosen to do the same. Any opportunity to make Lordaeron strong, I will seize it! Because Lordaeron shouldn't have sunk like this!! ”

"So I support the king..."

"And I'm very supportive of the King's initiative to promote education, which will give the commoners at the bottom the maximum chance of raising the ceiling in the future. After all," Turner said as he took a dry sip of tea and Locke refilled it for him, bowing his head in thanks and saying, "I am an aristocratic bastard, and I have never been so resentful of my identity." I also wondered, why am I not a nobleman? It's just not the birth of a mother... There is such a big gap between me and my brothers?! ”

"So, I'm very unhappy with the old system. However, I am hopeful about the current system! Turner's eyes sparkled, "It's the best time I've caught up!" Also the most likely opportunity to change my family's identity! Because there are opportunities everywhere now! It's up to you to see if you can grasp it! ”

After sitting with his back straight for a long time, Locke leaned on the sofa behind him and looked at the man in front of him.

He should be talking to himself about everything he has seen and thought in his heart these days. Apparently, he may have seen himself as his chance. Also, he didn't have a chance, maybe his current identity is the person he can contact who can help him.

Now it's Locke's turn to hesitate...

After thinking about it, Locke didn't rush to speak, he grabbed the card and rubbed it casually, "As far as I said at the beginning, how can the people quickly accept the national policy formulated by His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister?" ”

The door was opened again, but this time it wasn't, and Mario stood outside waiting. Turner glanced at the big red stage outside the door, and then said, "I have been in the underclass for many years, and although the people there are poor, they are also very interested in high art. ”

"But they don't have the money... Only during the break, in the tavern, listen to the sailors or retired soldiers boast about the past. Or, one day, when there is a civilian opera troupe or a drama performance, hurry to the square to occupy a place, even if there is a fight..."

Turner retracted his gaze and looked at Locke and said, "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister can find some drama troupes and let them adapt the new national policy and laws into stories and perform them all over the city." When these small stories that are relevant to their lives appear in the crowd, he will remember the national policies and laws that appear in the stories vividly. ”

"Imperceptibly, continuously. Maybe two months, maybe half a year, maybe a year, the problem is solved. ”

"The advantage of this is that there is not a lot of positive and negative pressure, but a lot of gain. When the first people accepted the new policies of the kingdom, they would always unconsciously influence the next group, and then the cycle spread over and over again, spreading to every inhabited land in the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

"Another good way is to directly recruit low-level social affairs officials, you need to publicize it." Turner rubbed his hands together and said seriously, "Whether you admit it or not, everyone will fantasize about other people's success on themselves." When they see someone else becoming the king's officer, they will find a way to make themselves the same class as him... Although the time will be short..."

"For now, this is the best solution."

Locke nodded, this was something he had overlooked before.

If he had followed the method he had put it, it might not take a year for the people to accept the Kingdom's new policy.

"I wonder what your reasons were. Stealing your employer's family property? ”

Turner briefly panicked in the face of Locke's direct questioning, and then slowly fell silent.

"I couldn't face the four pairs of food-hungry eyes behind me because I couldn't find a job." Turner's face turned red, and he trembled with shame and excitement, "The invasion of the undead of the natural disaster has cost me my wife and my career. I was alone with them and wandered around Tirisfa with the fleeing crowd. ”

"By the time we stopped at Gadar, all the food I had brought with me had been eaten. For the sake of the children, I re-embarked on the path of a tutor. Unfortunately, due to the natural disasters at the time, I couldn't find a job. There were too many people like me back then..."

"The children were starving beside me, and I took them around the woods, hoping to find anything to eat. Mushrooms, wild fruits, uninfected mice, but in the end none of these things were found. In desperation, I had to steal a pair of silver spoons during an interview at the baron's house. ”

"Well," Turner sighed deeply, "I sold the spoon for a lot of brown bread, and by the happy looks of the children, I knew that I could not turn back." ”

"So, I always sneak some silver jewelry away during the interview. It was okay at first, because I also lived in an aristocratic family when I was a child, and I knew that it was normal for these cutlery to be lost and worn. But I ignored my greed, and it ended up hurting me. ”

"After I was caught, I learned that I had already become the object of suspicion in the circles of the aristocracy. It's simple, because every time I leave, I always lose something... I lost the tableware used to entertain the guests... And I was the only outsider that day..."

"My greed made me forget this clue that was sure to be found, and once again I lost my job and lost everything. I didn't dare to go out, or even face my children. I know I'm not going to be able to get ahead in my life. ”

"Fortunately, His Majesty has managed to gain a foothold in the Silver Pine Forest. When the news reached Gadar, I was keenly aware that this was an opportunity to change my fate. So I went on a long journey with the others, escorted by soldiers along the way, and we came to Iva. At that time, Eva was not so prosperous. There are only forests and meadows, everything needs to be done by yourself ...."

"Me and my children, build our own houses, help our neighbors build houses, help everyone build houses, get food from the army. I've watched the city grow. I thought I would get some opportunities here and get back into high society..."

Turner sighed again, "When I applied for the job of the then Ministry of Civil Affairs, I was shocked to find that the judge who was in charge of the audit was the judge who tried me in the first place!" ”

"There is no suspense, I was rejected because of moral character issues...."

"There were a lot of opportunities after that, but I was documented because of this problem, and no one needed me anywhere... Despite the fact that they are short of people .... After so many years, I can only watch Iva become a huge city cluster step by step. And I had to wander around the original neighborhood, teaching the people around me for payment. ”

"Master Murphy, just before we came here. The cops were still staring at me... At first, I thought that you were asking me to go to hard labor to carry out the sentence that I did not carry out because I needed to take custody of the child..."

What a bad luck guy, so many people can still let you meet the judge who tried you in the first place? Do you know? When the judge was in Iva, he was an agent of the Security Service... Right now, he's in the hall waiting for my summons...

Locke nodded inwardly, but what he said was similar to the information investigated by the attendants, but it was roughly the same.

Looking at the depressed man in front of him, Locke stood up with a smile, and he moved his body to the door of the cubicle. Then, in the latter's already disappointed eyes, he stopped and looked back at him.

"Mr. Turner Wilson, are you interested in serving in the Prime Minister's Office?"
