The fierce waves, which seemed very calm just now, are now frozen all of a sudden.

And at this time......

"Isn't that right? Your Excellency the Honorable Grand Elder Majik, If you really count by the population of the city, there aren't that many goods to be transported in the city, so most of the carriages are transporting people. In this case, it is simply impossible to have a large number of coachmen lose their jobs. ”

Now, in this room, the only person who can have a-for-tat conversation with the archmage, Ariel knows that it is only herself.

The reason why this archmage organized strange cars is very simple, he himself said that the Magic Association has a great business interest in horses, and of course will not let those strange cars really play.

So...... It's really a coincidence, and Ariel also has an absolute interest in those weird cars. Therefore, even if she knows that her identity is really a little low, she must speak immediately at this time.

However, as if he had anticipated Ariel's statement, the archmage snorted and continued, "Even if there are not as many as four thousand five hundred, then at least more than half. Your Excellency Baroness Garcia, you may not be able to understand what it means for a city to suddenly have a few thousand more vagrants in one breath? Yes, this kind of esoteric knowledge, as a baroness Garcia's female identity, I am afraid that it is indeed difficult to understand the hardships of men working outside. ”

This is a personal attack, right? This is directly a personal attack!

Ariel was about to speak, but the archmage spoke again—

"Your Highness, what I just said is only the situation in our Hanhai City. Indeed, as Baroness Garcia said, there are still quite a lot of carriages to transport people in the city. But what about leaving the city, for the delivery of goods between several cities? ”

"Her Excellency the Baroness said just now that this will speed up the flow of goods. But this circulation comes at the cost of creating more unemployed. ”

"I'm sure Your Highness saw it just now, right? That strange cart could drag so many wagons forward, and even seemed to have a lot of room to spare, which would be even more terrible in terms of city-to-city trade. ”

"Your Highness, the number in this second line is the total amount of carriage transportation between Hanhai City and Fengtan City the year before last. Fengtan City is also a city with a lot of trade with Hanhai City. As you can see, there were about 10,000 vehicles coming and going in the whole year of last year. ”

"Let's count 20% of them as transporting passengers, and there are about 8,000 more than 8,000 trains used to transport various goods."

"If you really follow the delivery volume of that strange car, the transportation volume of these more than 8,000 vehicles will be instantly reduced to only more than 800."

"According to the current market price, if a coachman transports a wagon of goods to Fengtan City, if all the cars are not empty, he can probably earn two silver coins. If you can transport more than 20 round trips a year, you can earn five gold coins. If you remove the money for raising horses and maintaining carriages, and then remove the money and taxes paid to the Chamber of Commerce, this money is probably just enough to feed a family. ”

"But now, these more than 8,000 trains have instantly become more than 800 times, which means that a coachman could have transported more than 20 times to earn five gold coins, but now only need to transport twice a year is enough, so he can only earn less than five silver coins! I'm not going to mention the coachmen who are forced to have no jobs, are they the coachmen who have jobs and only earn five silver coins a year? This money is completely not enough to feed your own family! ”

The archmage seemed to be on the rise, and seeing that Ariel on the other side was now slightly ugly, as if he wanted to refute immediately, he immediately quickened his pace and continued-

"Your Highness, although the problem is already very serious now. But there are more serious things that I'm afraid you haven't realized yet. ”

Now, the brow of the fierce wave has also been furrowed. He held his forehead, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Is there something more serious?" ”

Madjik nodded and continued-

Take a look at the following rows. It is the various horse farms we operate. ”

"These horse farms were responsible for raising horses for the Empire, breeding horses, and selling horses. And a considerable part of the horses in these horse farms were used for horse-drawn carriages, and some were war horses that needed to be supplied to the army. Of course, a small part of them was sold to the nobles for viewing and recreation. Of course, it is impossible for our Magic Association to have information on all the horse farms in the Empire, but I dare to say here that if His Highness really wants to put that kind of strange car on the road, then the major horse farms in other empires, including the Association's horse farms, will also immediately go out of business. ”

"Your Highness, this is still what our association can count according to our horse farms, and I am afraid that there will be countless people who have gone bankrupt due to indirect reasons that cannot be counted."

"And that's just our association's problem. What kind of problems can horse farms in other empires cause? It's hard to estimate. ”

"Maliu City, Komabuchi City, and Parrot Town are all cities that have grown up by raising horses for our empire. Their core economy is horse farms, and all other non-horse farm jobs in these three towns are built around horse farms. ”

"If this strange car is really put into mass production, a large number of horse farms will go bankrupt because they cannot sell their horses, and there will be no less than 10,000 people who will lose their jobs! And the three towns I mentioned above will lose their meaning of existence in an instant, and the horses and other related services they have accumulated in their hands will instantly become negative equity! Even if the local lords don't revolt, what about the peasants and horsemen in the territory? When they have no money to eat, no money to buy clothes, or even no money to feed their families, one riot after another is probably not alarmist! Of course, perhaps His Highness would have thought that this was already the worst-case scenario. But even worse, I haven't said it yet! ”

The fierce wave is now with his eyes closed, constantly touching his forehead, and said, "Is there anything else?" What could be worse? ”

After taking a deep breath, Majik said slowly: "This will lead to the end that the most elite knight legion in our empire will all be reduced to infantry because they have no war horses, and then they will be completely crushed by the cavalry of the enemy country. ”

At that moment, Ariel clearly felt the fierce wave's body tremble slightly. No, not only the crown prince, but even the Duke of Jinguo, who had been listening to him all the time out of curiosity, now the smile on his face had also disappeared.

With a snap, Duke Jinguo got up, grabbed Majik's wrist, and said with a serious face: "What do you mean by this?" The cavalry under my command ...... Will there be no mounts to ride?! ”

As an archmage, Majik doesn't seem to like his wrist being touched by others. But when facing this Duke of Jinguo, he didn't break free immediately, but nodded and said, "If the horse farm goes out of business due to poor management, of course the empire's war horses will not be available because of this." And I also know that the imperial knights' war horses all need to be selected from a hundred. Then even if those horse farms insisted on holding out in order to supply the Imperial cavalry, then the scale of horse breeding would be very small. Even at best, there is a chance that there will be more cavalry than horses. His Excellency the Duke should be able to understand this point after a little thought, and I don't need to elaborate on it. ”

In an instant, Duke Jinguo's mood had changed.

Ariel could see very clearly that the duke's eyes were no longer so full of "fun" mentality, but a kind of vigilance, and even more full of ...... Emotions of disgust.

Archmage Majik seemed to have come to the end of his words here, and he didn't need to let the Duke of Jinguo express his position directly, but turned to the fierce waves, and continued: "Your Highness, even if the so-called promotion of trade in Baroness Garcia's mouth can come true, it will be achieved by increasing a large number of unemployed people, causing a large number of horse farms to go bankrupt, and even endangering the imperial cavalry that there are no war horses to ride. ”

"So, as the Grand Elder of the Magic Association, I myself am not against the strange car because I am against this novel power. If His Royal Highness is willing to treat this strange car as a toy for the royal family, and does not make it in large quantities and distribute it to the people, then of course there is no problem. Not only will there be no problem, but our Magic Association will also fully support Baroness Garcia to make that strange car a unique mount for His Highness! ”

"However, if Your Highness wants to completely open up the use of that strange thing, I am afraid that it will be a great disaster. Therefore, please think twice. ”

At this point, the Grand Elder of the Magic Association had said all his words.

Behind the desk, the fierce wave was already covering his forehead and shaking his head constantly, sighing.

For Ariel, now she is already holding her breath! She wanted to speak, she wanted to throw the data directly in the face of the archmage!

Yes, the data may indeed be true. Moreover, the mass issuance of the Demon Dragon Carriage may indeed lead to the loss of a large number of workers who were originally related to the carriage, but this is not a problem that the port can solve!

Storing the possible power in order to avoid new problems is simply choking on food! What's more, these problems are not unsolvable, the manufacturing process of the demon dragon car itself can form a large number of jobs, and the increase in trade will inevitably lead to the rise of the economy, so that the economy of the whole society will become more active, and its radiation effect can also form more jobs!
