Chapter 44: It's Time to Make Big News [Final Chapter]
In Elisa's bedroom, Felik was holding a blank piece of paper and a quill pen on which he was writing and drawing, and preaching to Elisa as he wrote.
Alyssa on the side had long since lost her vigilant look, but listened extremely carefully.
"It seems to make some sense, people can only get a real sense of life if they are full of food and drink."
Alyssa muttered to herself, then changed her mind and asked, "And then?" ”
"Then, naturally, we have figured out the source, and if we want the people to be well fed and clothed, then naturally we must have food and clothing, and where do those food and clothes come from?"
"Food is provided by hunting and planting, while clothing is woven."
"Very well, then ...... next"
Felik began his tirade, and three hours later, Elisa sat on the bed talking to herself in a frenzied manner, her eyes flashing with realization.
In order to increase production efficiency, it is necessary to use more convenient farming tools and have cattle to plough the fields.
The farm tools and cattle for work are bought from others, and money is needed to buy farm tools, and the money is exchanged for selling grain, and the empire is too heavy to pay the grain required by the empire, and the people can barely pay the grain required by the empire, and the remaining grain is still satisfying, but it cannot be exchanged for money to buy cattle, so the production efficiency is extremely low.
The grain collected by the empire is only for storage, not urgently needed, if this grain can be bought and sold by the people, then the people have money to buy livestock, and the production efficiency will naturally increase.
When the output of crops increases, it will be much easier to meet the tax burden of the empire, and the surplus grain can be exchanged for agricultural tools to improve production efficiency, and a virtuous circle will be formed! It's simply wonderful!
The more Alyssa thought about it, the more it made sense, and she looked at Felik with a glint in her eyes, admiration and surprise all written on her face.
Felik looked at Alyssa's expression, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment arose.
After coming to another world, Felik has already understood this truth, sometimes reform requires not a genius plan, a small change is enough to rewrite the overall situation,
Just like now, only one year of tax exemption from the empire was enough for the people to recuperate and agriculture to develop.
If you want to change, it is not difficult to come up with a method, but the difficult thing is to jump out of the original ideological framework and break through the rigid ideological shackles.
It's not easy to think outside the box because you're in the middle of the game.
But it wasn't a problem for Felik at all, because he was an outsider himself, from another dimension!
"Can I call you a teacher?" Alyssa said, and the request surprised even Felik.
Do you want to say yes?
Felik hesitated.
Anyway, let's get away from the topic.
While thinking so, he asked again: "Let's not talk about this for a while, but summarize what I just said?" ”
Alyssa rolled her eyes and came up with an answer: "Is it tax relief?" ”
"No, this time the subject is more work and more pay, focusing on production. If the empire does not contribute, then naturally it cannot take too much of the fruits of labor from the people, otherwise it will be robbery. Felik summed it up briefly.
After the initial lecture, Felik left, and Elisa, who had received Felic's excellent education, was still immersed in the great socialism.
This new concept has baptized her whole person, and even her ideological realm has been raised to a higher level, with this beginning, countless ideas poured into her mind, and she couldn't wait to propose to Brother Wang to reform the imperial constitution.
Suddenly she remembered that her original purpose was to puncture Felik's brainwashing theory, but now she was completely convinced.
In an instant, her face was discolored, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
But after thinking about it, she felt that the other party's statement was completely correct without flaws, and there was no trace of anything to refute, and when she thought of this, Alyssa began to hesitate again.
Whether Felik's socialism was correct or not, she began to be confused.
After a short struggle, Alyssa came up with a solution: "Anyway, let's implement it first!" If the lives of the people are really improving, then he is right. ”
……
On the other hand, on the way back, Felik met a messenger from the Howell family, which was written to him by the head of the Howell family himself.
It was roughly thanking him for forgiving Bill for his rudeness and arrogance, and sincerely inviting him to visit Howell's house to thank him in person.
And what made Felik feel unhappy was that the invitation in the other party's heart was a little too strong, not a tone of discussion, but a tone close to an order, and even the date was arranged, just tomorrow.
With this attitude, Felik had to think that the other party was finding fault.
He didn't expect that he was really right by Bella, and the enemy he let go would not never appear because of the difference in strength, but would be driven by the desire for revenge to make a comeback.
After some consideration, he decided to go to his three foolish companions.
Eventually, he found Belina from the royal family's craftsman, who was begging him to design a tailor-made sword for her.
As the head of the regiment, when he saw Belina's low-voiced appearance, he felt ashamed and ashamed at the same time, ashamed that he couldn't even give this stupid man a sword.
Of course, ashamed to be ashamed, the next second Felik half-dragged her out of the workshop, reprimanded her, and once again made an unkeept-made promise to build her a sword.
Compared to Belina's sword-seeking behavior, Odelia and Afra are much better.
The two of them didn't do anything after they arrived in the royal city, eating, drinking, and sleeping all day long, and when Felik found them, Odelia was bragging about her glorious days to Afra.
"Yo, it's the head of the regiment! Just in time, would you like to hear me tell me about my legend? Odelia greeted warmly.
Felik frowned and said, "Be quiet, we're going to do something big!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Afra's expression changed suddenly, and the excitement in her watery eyes flashed, and she quickly jumped down from the chair and gathered around the table, and couldn't wait to ask, "What?" ”
"Somebody came to me, you know what that means, right?" Felik asked solemnly with a serious face.
Like a primary school student being named to answer a question, Belina raised her hand, put on a straight face, and recited like a text: "The dignity of the head of the regiment is the dignity of our harem!" To offend the regimental commander is to offend our harem! ”
When she had answered, she looked at Felik flatteringly.
Since being promised the Great Sword, Belina has once again become a diehard follower of Felik, completely forgetting her previous experience of being deceived.
Felik nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!" This time the opponent is very strong, it is the Howell family, one of the five major knight families of the empire, whether it is friend or foe is not yet known, but we must be prepared, we haven't done it for a long time, it's time to make some big news. ”
"Leader~" Afra spoke, and the young girl's unique immature accent was mixed with a little vague nasal: "Why don't you call the president to come along?" ”
"Walter has more important things to do, not to mention that she hasn't joined our harem yet, so we can't trouble her so much."
Felik said casually, but the real reason is that Walter is very smart, not as easy to use as the three living treasures in front of him, if Walter also joins, Felik feels that his leadership position will be affected like never before.
"Anyway, let's talk about tactics now." The four of them began to whisper, and in the midst of everyone's discussion, another new plan gradually unfolded.
