But.

After finally reaching a cooperation, for the future of the company and his own interests, Evan also made a kind reminder to the marquis.

Because in this era that is no longer based on agriculture, whether it is a kingdom or an aristocratic fiefdom that wants to develop, it is indispensable to attract capital to invest in various industries, and then use chickens and eggs to achieve its own take-off.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the story of the kingdom of Ilya as a lesson and take measures in advance to avoid the rebellion of the big businessmen, more precisely, the capitalists, who hold a lot of wealth!

At present, capitalists with extraordinary influence need two conditions if they want to be formed, and Yuanfan Ling has both, or is about to have.

First, there must be a large number of wage laborers who have only personal freedom and no means of production, such as landless peasants. On the premise that all the land of the Yuanfan Territory belongs to the marquis, all the freedmen except the slaves belong to this list.

The second is to concentrate a large amount of means of production and monetary wealth in the hands of a few people and convert them into capital (the principal or property used for investment to obtain profits, which is a general term for various social and economic resources for human beings to create material and spiritual wealth).

The process of creating these two conditions is the process of primitive accumulation of capital, and it is also what the kingdom and the far sail collar are now doing with all their might.

In the previous agricultural era, limited by the total scale of land, it was difficult for output to be reinvested in the industry and re-turned into capital that "makes money from money".

The steam engine, on the other hand, achieved a leap in productivity and was able to create wealth with unprecedented efficiency. And the output is constantly converted into new capital (more steam engines, production lines, factories), and then more value is created, which is the "compound interest" in economics.

The saying "the economic base determines the superstructure" is not wrong, at least in the material world.

Capitalists with enormous wealth inevitably demand reciprocal political power, which is human nature and is not subject to individual will.

To whom does this power go? The current ruling class, of course.

The power of wealth is embodied in the corrosion, desire, and control of power, which cannot be prevented.

But while the capitalists are strong, it is the international bankers who are even stronger.

Manipulating huge amounts of capital can even determine the rise and fall of a country, even now when industrialization has just begun, there are already faint signs of this.

A typical example of this is the Dutch banking syndicate.

Bankers set up banks, then take deposits from the public with interest, and then make profits by investing in real estate, and then distribute the profits to the accounts of the depositing public.

And the process of investing has allowed bankers to unknowingly penetrate their tentacles into multiple industries.

Bankers and capitalists are interdependent, and in the current economic and political system, it is easy to gain huge and profound influence, and even to coerce the lifeblood of the country to compete with the real rulers.

Even in the transcendent world, where kingdoms and churches strictly control peak force, as long as this is not a problem, they cannot subvert the existing pattern of domination.

But it can substantially affect the direction of this material world!

Because they are different from the transcendent beings who are high above, these people really represent the concepts and interests of mortals with mortal thinking, and gather the strength of tens of millions of people to challenge the transcendental.

From "Portrait of Katalov's Death", Evan already learns that there is something called "the tide of the world", and even the true gods on high have to back down.

Grasping the context of the world, at least the mundane world, Aven certainly knows that the improvement of productivity and the industrial revolution must also be one of the trends of the world, and no one can resist it.

But as a member of the vested interests of the existing power system, of course, Evan must guard against the slightest step up in this embryonic period of capital, so as not to be used by some smart people to become the de facto master of the country.

Whether it is the education he received in his previous life or the innate class attributes in this life, Evan has no good impression of them.

Capital, which is profit-seeking by nature, may be more able to eat people than feudal kings. At the beginning of its birth, it must be put on the reins so as not to become a monster that devours the world.

It can't be stopped, but it can be guided!

And Evan also proposed a solution: there must be no full private ownership, especially in areas related to people's livelihood.

Although the Marquis and his staff seem to understand it for the time being, it doesn't matter, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Livina, who is far away, doesn't understand it very well.

In the long run, Evan will let them understand the benefits of this top-level design little by little.

Whoa...

Riding the wind and waves, Aven's sailboat has slowly sailed away from Yuanfan Harbor.

The only thing that's a bit of a pity.

Although a significant business partnership was reached, today Aven has not been able to meet Miss Olivia, who may also have the "blood of an adventurer", until he boarded the sailing ship on the return voyage.

It was not confirmed whether she was her "kind" or not.

As for getting along with the Marquis of Yuanfan, Aven didn't feel anything abnormal about him at all.

In fact, he didn't know how other families that might also have "adventurer's blood" behaved in their daily lives...

But it's not for nothing.

Today, after meeting the Marquise who is a powerful wizard and proficient in gem witchcraft.

With that inexplicable sense of familiarity, Ai Wen instantly thought of an important piece of information that he had analyzed before.

The Glowing Maiden may be living in a real-life time zone near her, and she's obviously just as proficient in gem sorcery!

"Could that Miss Moonstone, who is obviously also a full-fledged wizard, be the Olivia I haven't been able to meet?"

There was a vague guess in my mind.

......

A few hours later.

After completing the change, Aven has returned to Hatrafa Harbor, which is not far from the Far Sail Collar.

At this time, the most valuable slave in the booty had been turned into a stake in the "Mercury United Trading Company".

This is his own property, of course, it is impossible to share it with his subordinates, let them become shareholders of the company one by one, but let themselves become their workers.

He is ready to use his small coffers to offset the share of golden lions that his subordinates deserve, and make up for the shortfall in this transaction.

Ai Wen's cash flow is quite abundant, and he can still afford this money.

Other than that.

Although the disposal of the previous combat weapons and the defense of the base have been basically completed.

But Evan still has one more important thing to do here, and he can only do it on his own turf.

"Zinaro and Paka, have you two already made a decision?"

In his lab, Aven, dressed in a robe, asked the two Arawak guides who had originally joined the pirate group, Zinaro and Packa, about it.

When they were driven out of their homes by the Cyrius ten years ago, the Orca totem pole of the Arawak tribe was severed, and the clan's shamans were destroyed.

It can be said that the spiritual and religious roots of this tribe were cut off at that time.

As a result, Zinaro, who had not yet obtained the totem mark at the age of fourteen, also had to practice the Ceci scimitar technique that was spread among pirates.

After such a long time, the young people who grew up later in the Arawak clan, although they still maintain the belief in animism, they actually do not have too strong an obsession with the original killer whale totem.

Only the belief in avenging their ancestors sustains them, otherwise they would not have learned the "Cethi scimitar" from the civilized world.

It would be the best outcome for the Arawak clan to remain independent and the flame to continue.

So Evan only mentioned to them the concept of the "tree of life" that created all things, and Xenaro and Paccar were already happy to accept it, and even some were eager to try it.

Because they interpret and recognize the "tree of life" with their own indigenous animistic worldview.

It is believed that the concept of the "tree of life" encompasses all natural spirits, and is closer to the spiritual origin of the New World than the three main gods of the three empires of the New World: the Quetzalcoatl god Kukulkan, the sun god Inti, and the high god Omad Kutli.

"Your Excellency, please give us this power, the purpose of the Aravak clan is to take revenge on the Sylius on behalf of their ancestors!

We can receive from you the power of the 'spirit of nature', which is the guidance of our ancestors. ”

The two of them knelt on one knee, their faces full of perseverance and sacredness.

Previously, Ai Wen had improved the totem engraving system with the assistance of "digital vision", such as the main body parts, functional partitions, meridian system, stress response, etc. Wait a minute.

and the magical root runes that each of the different nature spirits represents, and was eventually integrated.

With the Constitution Rune "Cons" and the Balance Rune "Libr" as the backbone, the agility rune "Mobi" and the strength rune "Impe" as the branches, and finally the final integration was carried out by the thunder rune "MEA" belonging to the Three-Eyed Man from the subsequent excavation of the Spirit World Posedia City.

Hidden on a set of "Tree of Life Totems" all over his body, he created a new class, the "Tree of Life Totem Samurai".

The mystical direction of the spirit of nature is replaced by the "tree of life" totem of the "living chemical school", and the myths and legends that created all things and the accumulation of knowledge of countless wizards have given it a corresponding concept.

However, this is not only a totem inscription, but also a precursor to the cultivation of [Thunder Sword Technique].

Because each core rune inscription is also responsible for some additional work, assisting the transcendent to transform the electric light of the life magnetic field into the instinct of the body.

In fact.

Before deciding to engrave the two of them, Ai Wen had already asked other "volunteers" to conduct the "Primitive Totem Samurai Replica Experiment", "Single Rune Connection to the Tree of Life System Experiment", "Multi-rune Tree of Life Matching Experiment", "Electric Light Engraving Transformation Experiment"....

The ones used were specially captured by William, who sent "Iron Bone", to pursue a pirate gang that killed and robbed the notorious madman.

Some of them succeeded, while others were directly twisted into terrifying monsters.

However, after the test, without exception, they have been directly destroyed by Aiwen.

Moreover, after each corresponding ceremony, the Tree of Life, as the source of the mystery, will instinctively make certain corrections to the runes collected by Ai Wen, which is more and more in line with the system of the mysterious source of the "Tree of Life".

After the transformation plan was completely matured two days ago, and the possibility of death, disability, and loss of control had been ruled out, this was the first time that Ai Wen had conducted an experiment on his own people.

Even if the strength growth of this profession does not meet expectations, it does not prevent them from continuing to follow the orthodox knightly path.

Seeing their movements, Aven no longer hesitated, took out a bottle of turquoise potions, and said to them:

"Okay, I've seen your determination, Xenaro will come first, drink the medicine!"

The indigenous warrior Zinaro stepped forward and took the potion that Evan had configured, and drank it all without hesitation.
