Chapter 136: The Significance of Economy

"But on the other hand, the strange car and the pocket fire are really very delicate, and it would be a pity if these technologies were really blocked."

With that, Connor bowed heavily to the fierce waves, and said with a smileβ€”

"So, with the insignificant knowledge of the villain, do you think it is possible to confine these things to a small place and conduct some experiments first? For example...... Exactly where Baroness Garcia stayed three years before - Pelican Town? ”

"Let Baroness Garcia promote the Monster Car and Pocket Fire in Pelican Town, and then have him craft the Elemental Machine there. Because Pelican Town is a small town with no more than a thousand people, the surrounding towns and cities are not very prosperous, plus it is far from the center of the empire and belongs to the marginal towns of the Marginal Province. Experimenting in such a place, even if it does end up with a large number of unemployed people and safety risks, the crisis is completely controllable, and it is not even a big deal. ”

"And if the final experiment is successful and does not cause much trouble, then it means that these experiences can be shared with other provinces and cities one by one, and with the experience of Pelican Town, we can also avoid many detours."

"The above is a small suggestion made by a small economics teacher like me, I hope Your Highness can consider it."

Connor's proposal made Ariel's eyes light up!

That's right!

There is no need to promote it all over the country at once! Find a place to conduct a local experiment, and if the experiment is successful, then gradually and gradually roll it out? If reform is too radical all at once, it will naturally cause all kinds of problems, but as long as the scope of influence is smaller, then the problem will be solved.

Thinking of this, Ariel's eyes looked at the teacher again, and her eyes once again raised her admiration for this teacher.

It's just that Connor was slightly stunned after touching Ariel's eyes, and then immediately withdrew his eyes, turned his head with a sense of avoidance, and stopped looking at her.

Sitting behind the desk, Meng Lang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I see, let's do a local test first?" That's an interesting proposition. ”

Seeing that the crown prince was now shaken, Majik's heart tightened slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, since the founding of the Blue Bay Empire, all government decrees have been sent directly from the imperial city to all parts of the country, and all territories must obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Isn't that a division between places and places? ”

But Priest on the other side rolled his eyes, and after seeing the hesitation on Meng Lang's face, he immediately glanced away at Connor on the other side, and said loudly: "You are just an old Teng Shunei teacher, what qualifications do you have to discuss political affairs here?" ”

Connor's face didn't look embarrassed, but he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I just believe that every method should have a corresponding method. Theoretically speaking, the problem of unemployment is actually an economic problem, and as the head of the department of economics, it is my job to express some opinions on this. ”

"Economics? Hehe, what is the Department of Economics? ”

Majik's tone is still so unpolite-

"Connor Conservative, don't think that because you are also a department head in the old Teng Shu, you are really qualified to be compared to the Department of Magic and the Department of Combat!"

"To put it bluntly, the most you in the economics department is to teach people how to settle accounts. A little more will give you an idea of how you should be taxed! Although some things are not easy to say on the surface, I know the situation in your economics department very clearly! This year, how many students have just been named with you, but have not even attended a class? ”

Hit someone without slapping in the face!

Ariel is now a little indignant!

Now the discussion is obviously an economic issue, but this great elder has changed the topic to the problem of students not coming to class? Is there a relationship between these two issues?!

Majik didn't seem to want to let go of such a breakthrough, and continued: "What your economics department cultivates is the civil service system! Will you be able to go into battle and kill the enemy? Can you use your powerful magic to create wealth like us magicians? Can you cultivate the faith of the common people like the Holy See of Light, and swear more allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"No, you economics department can't do anything! The reason why Lao Tengshu has not removed your economic department until now is entirely for someone to be able to settle accounts and maintain the bloated, procrastinating, and inefficient civil service system a little. Do you understand who you are now? If you do, shut up now! ”

Listening to such sarcasm, Ariel's fists couldn't help but clench silently.

But now, because of her identity, it is really inconvenient for her to rush out and refute it directly! However, this also means that the pressure of rebuttal is completely on the body of his own teacher!

Now, what should teachers do? Is this how you lost?

No! It's not that his own elemental machine plan has failed, it's that the entire old Teng Shu's economic department has been ridiculed! are all looked down upon!

Although Ariel has always known very well that the other two departments of Lao Tengshu basically look down on the Department of Economics, this kind of thing can be said secretly and secretly, and now it is clear that the Department of Economics is humiliated, and this breath can't be swallowed like this!

And now, Connor, over there, exhaled softly.

After a moment of deep thought, his gaze looked at the furrowed waves over there, at the tide with a relaxed face, and at the hesitant Duke Jinguo.

After looking around, the corners of Connor's mouth slowly hooked up a smile, and he continued to say unhurriedly with that extremely reverent attitudeβ€”

"Excuse me, how much gold can the horse farm now run by the Magic Association earn a year? I mean...... Pure profit. ”

Majik was slightly stunned, and just wanted to speak, but Priest next to him suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the archmage, frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this?" This kind of information is confidential! You can't just reveal it. ”

Majik came to his senses, nodded quickly, and kept saying "yes".

Connor was not annoyed, but continued: "Then, if I say that through some method, the horse farm under the Magic Society can immediately increase its net profit by 20% in the new year, do you think that economics is a discipline that can only be used to settle accounts and collect taxes?" ”

The Great Elder's heart moved, but he also immediately understood that this was a delaying tactic by this economics teacher, and then he sneered: "Up 20%? Hehe, you're thinking so simply. Unless a large-scale battle breaks out now, how can it be possible to immediately increase the number of horses sold every year by about the same number of horses per year? ”

Connor shook his head, and continued to say calmly: "It's very simple, it's the first day of the first month, and then, you can declare that due to the increase in the production of foals this year, in order to be able to dump as many horses as possible, you will sell the horses at a slightly lower market price in advance." However, selling horses doesn't mean you actually sell them. ”

"But you don't need to deliver the horse right away when you receive the money you paid for it. Rather, it is to say that the foals have not grown up yet, so they will have to wait until two years after the foals have grown up to pick them up. As proof of this, you can present a stamp with the Racecourse coat of arms in the name of the Magical Society. At the same time, it is promised that no matter who the bill is given to at that time, when the time expires, anyone who comes to ask for horses with this bill will be handed over to the other party. ”

At this time, even Priest next to him was a little incomprehensible, and he also asked, "This...... Does it make any sense? ”

Although the High Priest and the High Elder could not hear it, Ariel understood the meaning at once. Immediately, he looked at the two old fellows with a look full of pride.

Connor smiled, clapped his hands, and said, "Of course it makes sense." Because then you're not selling a horse, you're selling a bill, just a piece of paper. Well, because your horse isn't actually sold, the same horse can be sold several times over and over again. That is, for the same horse, you can collect money several times. ”

At this point, you may be confused. Isn't it even more of a loss that you think that although it was sold, there will be no horses to deliver at that time? ”

"But I would say that it will take at least a year or two to get there to be a collective demand. Because it takes about a year for a foal to grow to be ready for sale. ”

"In a year or two, you'll have a lot of money in your hands. You can use the extra money to buy other horse farms in one go. Isn't that enough for the horses? As you just said, horse farms are now a very mature industry in China, and there are several big cities that are raising horses, so naturally there will be many small horse farms. ”

"After you buy these farms and exchange all the bills sold, your overall profit may not be 20% higher than it is this year after you buy them, but then there will be a lot more horse farms under the association's umbrella. As a result, the assets of the association will also increase in value significantly. ”

Speaking of which, Connor no longer looked at Majik, but slowly saluted to the fierce waves over there, and saidβ€”

"Then may I ask Your Highness, if Your Highness thinks that what I, the head of the Department of Economics, have said is of any use to me, can I just take the villain's suggestion a little bit and allow Baroness Garcia to set up a small pilot in Pelican Town?"
