For example, if a rich person has a large amount of money in his hands, he is likely not to save it just for a while, but to make more profit from another aspect. Therefore, this rich person will invest funds in a new field for production activities, which also invisibly leads to higher employment levels.

But, just when Ariel wanted to speak......

"Ahem! cough cough cough ...... Drink...... Ahem! ”

Connor Conservative, who had been listening to the side, coughed violently again.

Tide looked at Connor and said, "Mr. Connor, the weather is very cold in winter, if you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest first." ”

Connor covered his mouth, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally choked while eating in the courtyard just now, and I'm fine." ”

With that, Connor folded his hands over his chest and continued to sit there in an outsider stance.

Seeing that the teacher was so calm, the words in Ariel's heart didn't spit out directly after thinking about it for a while.

After two or three breaths, she slowly adjusted her facial expression, and faced everyone present with that gentle and polite smile again.

"Hmm...... Your Highness? ”

After Majik finished speaking, the high priest of the Holy See, Priest, but Priest slowly got up and asked.

Fierce Wave frowned, exhaled a deep breath of his hand, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Priest laughed, but then, the smile on his face faded and became serious, and he said slowly—

"I may not be as good as the Great Elder of Majik, who has prepared a lot of data in advance. But I also have some disrespectful thoughts about that so-called pocket fire. ”

Fierce Wave held his forehead again and closed his eyes: "What do you think?" Think pocket fire is bad? ”

Priest shook his head slowly: "No, the pocket fire is very good. It's wonderful to be able to allow ordinary people to use the spell 'flame' in fire magic at will without having a magical affinity. The form of pocket fire is more convenient than using magic scrolls to store magic, and it can even be used repeatedly, which can be said to be very convenient and fast. ”

"In addition, I heard that Baroness Garcia has been working on another set of lighting technology in Pelican Town for a few years. This set of technology does not even use such a thing as pocket fire, and it can artificially create a ball of light that is no less than that made by our Holy See priests. It can even last all night. Sounds like a great way to do it. ”

Hearing Priest say this suddenly, the Fierce Waves, the Tides, and the Duke of Jinguo all turned to the High Priest and looked at his face.

Only Ariel still maintains that calmness, not saying a word, just smiling.

"High Priest, do you mean that you ...... Agree with such a thing as pocket fire? ”

Fierce Wave asked out loud.

The High Priest's face was still very serious, and he said slowly: "I agree with the 'fun' of such a thing as pocket fire, but I don't agree with its 'value'. Because, this thing completely deprives a lot of the work and income of the torch makers involved. Workshops for torches, lamp oil, lamps, etc., are already a well-established industry, and this thing will make these workshop owners meaningless in an instant, lose their jobs, and lose the opportunity to make money. In the same way, they will lose food, they will lose their houses, they will lose everything they once thought they could have forever under the protection of the Empire. ”

"Your Highness should know that lighting is a luxury. We humans worship the light and love it. However, after understanding the meaning of light to us humans, the God of Light still decided to give us light only for half the day. ”

"The great God of Light is for us to understand the meaning of light, to let us know that light is not something that is very easy, light is a gift, it is something that can only be obtained after sincere prayer and serious devotion to the God of Light."

"Baroness Garcia, however, has taken advantage of her unorthodox ideas and some strange tricks that she doesn't know where to come from, and has forcibly disobeyed the will of the God of Light, so that the light may come to us at night."

"I'm really skeptical. Didn't Baroness Garcia want to replace the God of Light? Do you even want to be the god of light at night? To put it mildly, this is an overwhelming. At worst, it's a blasphemous act. ”

At that moment, the corners of Ariel's mouth twitched slightly.

Even at this moment, the tide in front of her turned its head sharply, and looked at the woman standing behind her with a very frightened and suspicious expression.

High Priest Priest Priest Priest slowly spread his hands and continued—

Of course, the God of Light is not so unkind, and He is willing to give us little light at night. Therefore, we humans can light torches and bonfires at night, and let the warmth in the fireplace dispel the chill of winter and brighten up our lives. ”

"But in order to be able to get the light at night, the God of Light has given us many severe tests as human beings."

"We need to chop firewood, we need to keep the fire, we need to make the place where the fire is lit as dry as possible. In particular, when we light up that little light at night, we need a lot of whale oil from the Deviltooth Whale. ”

The high priest spread his hands, paused for a moment, and then said—

"Participation in whaling is a fine tradition in our country, and since our empire is a maritime nation, the whaling industry is especially prosperous. Our brave warriors and mages set out to sea in those converted ships to take on the terrifying, gigantic mountain-like Deviltooth Whales in the midst of a terrible storm. After giving their blood and lives, they reaped endless glory. ”

"The teeth, skeleton, meat, whale oil, etc. of the devil tooth whale are all important resource outputs in our country. Whale oil, in particular, is almost equivalent to the lifeline of night lighting for the entire Blue Bay Empire. At the same time, there are many other countries that need to buy whale oil in their trade with our country. As the Great Elder Majik said just now, the number of people in the industry related to whaling is also innumerable, although I can't give a specific number at the moment, but I believe that His Highness can understand just thinking about it, this will be an astronomical number. ”

"It is precisely because light is precious, that the God of Light only gives us half a day of light, so that we can understand that light is such a precious alms."

"It is precisely because light is precious, that the God of Light will set a test for the giant monster of the Devil Tooth Whale, so that those brave warriors and magicians will break through many obstacles for the sake of family and glory, and after gaining the mercy of the God of Light, they will finally be able to obtain those whale oils that can also burn light at night."

"But it is precisely because the light is so precious......

"Baroness Garcia, what have you done to get this light?"

Did Ariel anticipate these situations before?

She didn't.

At least, she didn't expect the two High Priests and the High Elder to be so vehemently opposed to these new things.

Originally, she thought that after seeing the power of the demon dragon chariot, they would learn to be obedient, at least they would never want to do such miscellaneous things again. But now it turns out that she really thought too naïve.

On the other side, Fierce Wave took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said slowly, "Ariel, do you think what they said is right?" ”

Ariel's gaze glanced slightly at Connor on the other side, and saw that the teacher was still sitting in his seat, not saying a word, as if he was thinking about something. At that moment, after thinking about it, she said with a smile: "Your Highness, let me tell me, these questions are not problems at all. ”

A flash of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the fierce waves, which were already a little dim: "Oh? Do you think it's okay? ”

Ariel nodded slightly, continuing to face the two big men with a smile on her face. First, she looked at the Great Elder Majik and said with a smile, "Hello, Your Excellency the Honorable Great Magician. ”

Majik snorted, but did not answer.

But it doesn't matter, Ariel continued, "I know that His Highness the Archmage may be a little resistant to the matter of strange cars. It will also lead to the emergence of a large number of unemployed people. But I believe you should also understand that these unemployed people will not immediately convert into unemployed people. ”

"If you want to make a strange car, you need a lot of parts. And to integrate all these large number of parts into a strange car, it is definitely not enough to rely on the power of the Mermaid Song Guild. So when the time comes, there will be a 'factory' that specializes in making strange cars. In this way, those who are unemployed can enter the 'factory' to work and avoid unemployment by making strange cars. ”

"Then, there's the question of the number of shipments. If you have the power to deliver the Strange Car, the amount that can be transported at one time will be much higher than the previous amount, and there will be more things that can be crafted for the workshops in both cities! An increase in the number of products produced will lead to more trade and transportation. So, on the contrary, it will make the shipping more frequent and definitely not look decadent. ”

"Then there is the question of the cavalry troops. That...... Here I would like to ask my lord, why can't the cavalry ride in this cart that does not require horses? We humans didn't start fighting on horseback, and even in the beginning, our cavalry didn't have saddles and bridles. If we could have changed before, why can't we change now? ”
