Arrow smiled and said, "Economic problems are always accompanied by the development process of human beings, and it is also a human nature to try their best to possess more wealth. If you really want to talk about it, a lot of things in the relationship between countries are also because of economic problems. No matter what wars, plunder, massacres, and revolts have ever developed in history, there are strong economic factors mixed with them. ”

Ke Ke smiled and walked over and hooked Arrow's hand, and said sweetly: "Brother President, you are really full of economics after graduating from economics~~~ Everything is economy, even such things as fighting wars are because of the economy?" The problem of hatred between countries is not something that can be solved with a small amount of money~~~"

Arrow didn't refute either, anyway, it didn't make sense to win this little girl, since she thought so, let her continue to think so.

Parfay held the iron fruit in one hand and said helplessly: "You humans, you are really entangled because of this strange thing. I really can't understand your means of hurting others for the sake of money. President, all of these questions did you learn in school? ”

To be honest, Lao Teng Shu really doesn't teach much about these things.

After all, no matter how open the old Tengshu Academy is, it is also an aristocratic academy, how can there be such a book in it that fundamentally believes that nobles and wealthy people are scourges?

After thinking about it, it was because my motives for enrolling in school were not pure. I thought that after entering economics, I would definitely be able to think about how to make money before joining, but after actually entering the school, I found that there was a huge gap between what I learned and what I really wanted to learn! With this sense of disparity and doubt, he did not think less during the period of entering the school, constantly reflecting on his mistakes and whether the knowledge presented in the books was correct, and finally thought of these things based on his life experience, which was really not long.

Of course, these thoughts can only be said to their own guild members, if they are expressed in other places, such as the thesis defense meeting of the old Tengshu Academy, I am afraid that I will be immediately put on a deviant name and directly expelled from the academy.

"Well...... I'm not that smart enough to think of that much. More or less due to the school's teaching. ”

As he walked, Brad shook his head slightly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a crooked-necked tree in front of him and said, "President, I still can't understand your strange economic theories. But I just want to know, if everything in this world can be explained by the theory of economics, then why does this happen in the real world? ”

Looking at Brad's fingers, the members of Mermaid Song couldn't help but be stunned.

On the side of the official road, which is not very wide, or even very good, a rope is now hanging from a tree with a crooked neck.

And in the middle of a sleeve made of ropes, there was a man hanging steadily.

One, already surrounded by flies, emitting a slight foul smell...... Corpse.

————

Driving away the flies around him, Arrow pinched his nose and watched as Cream climbed the tree to cut the rope, and Brad caught the corpse below and slowly placed it on the ground.

This is a peasant in his mid-thirties and forties, with a thin face and calloused palms that speak volumes about the suffering he has experienced. His nails were worn out, and his almost fleshless torso was thin, like a sun-dried bacon with little weight.

Coco stepped forward, stretched out his steel staff against the corpse's forehead to feel the power of death contained in it, shook his head and said, "I've been dead for at least a day." It's pathetic...... We didn't have anything like that when we came......"

Arrow sighed, reached out and touched the peasant's coarse cloth garment, and soon, he took a letter from its pocket and opened it......

"It's a suicide note."

Cream jumped down from the tree and said, "What is written on it?" ”

Arrow glanced at it, and the handwriting on the letter was skewed, apparently indicating that the peasant was not very educated, and that the spelling was full of errors, and the grammar seemed very confusing, and sometimes there was no distinction between the past tense and the future tense. After scanning it several times, he more or less figured out what was written in it, and said-

"He used to be a farmer living on a small plot of land left over from the group. Although life is very hard, it can still go on. ”

"But ten years ago, that Count Karp came to Tianhe City and carried out a large-scale transformation of the city and the surrounding area, transforming the city into the luxurious appearance it is now."

"When cities become beautiful, prices go up. But for this farmer, who was not very rich in the first place, the rapid rise in prices gradually exceeded his ability. ”

In order to be able to make a good life for his wife and children, he had to borrow money and take out a loan from the money bank opened by Count Karp.

But he never imagined that although the interest rate of these loans was not high, the soaring prices would make the cost of these loans skyrocket. He is getting less and less money, and his already very poor life is getting harder and harder. In the end, he had no choice but to mortgage his land to Count Karp to pay off the loan. ”

"At the beginning, Count Karp also said in the name of recruiting workers, although I took the land, I would hire you to work in my factory or other business guilds to make a living."

But as time went on, as more and more peasants were harvested by Earl Karp in various ways, Count Karp began to dismiss these laborers in the name that they did not need so many people. The method of dismissal is the elimination system at the end of performance. ”

In order not to be fired, and in order to continue to support his family, he had to work hard, completely ignoring the physical exertion. From the original 10 hours a day, it became 12 hours, 14 hours, 16 hours, and even began to eat and live in the factory, waking up every day to work, and finishing work to sleep. ”

"His efforts finally prevented him from being fired, but he also took the salary of one person with those who were lucky enough to stay, but found that he gradually began to do the work of two people and three people."

"After a long hours of work, his body gradually began to tire and tired, and all kinds of problems began to appear. But in order to be able to continue to stay in the factory, he could only continue to grit his teeth and persevere. ”

"But one day, when he was working, his eyes suddenly went dark, and the whole person fell."

"When he woke up again, he was told that his body could no longer support him, he had a very serious illness, he could no longer do heavy work, and he had to recuperate."

"Of course, he was quickly eliminated from the factory at the end of the month."

When he returned to his home, he was in a difficult situation in an instant with no income. After the collapse of his pillar, the weight of life immediately destroyed the self-confidence of his wife and children. ”

In order to pay back, he had to reluctantly sell his children. Because of this, his wife broke off his friendship with him and ran away from home one night, not knowing where he went. ”

"Now his body is in tatters, and he came here from Tianhe City to find his wife who doesn't know where. But he knew that he couldn't find it, so he wrote this suicide note and ended his life here. ”

After reading the letter, Arrow couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

The members on the side were also a little sad, looking at the farmer lying on the ground, silently mourning.

"The big landlords kill, but that's it. They will not go under the knife on you personally, but will desperately squeeze the last bit of oil and water out of your body, so that you will willingly go to the end of your life. ”

Putting away the letter, Arrow said helplessly.

After holding her hands and mourning in silence, she said with pity, "Brother President, can we help him build a grave?" Anyway, after his wife comes back, there will be a place to find him......"

In this regard, Arrow can only comfort his own members and is still very kind. He nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Yes, he does need a place to manifest his existence...... Since we met on the road, it was also fate. Let's arrange a proper funeral for him. ”

Back in Pelican Town, the Honey Pot Guild's one-month free event has come to an end.

Of course, the news of the mermaid's return to the town reached the ears of the titular president of the Honey Jar Guild, Poison Needle. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, his master had already made it very clear that no matter how valuable the wine was, it could not be of much value.

The days continued, and compared to the popularity of the Honey Jar Guild, the business of Mermaid Song has always been so bland and tasteless.

Except for the occasional townsfolk who are really in a hurry, and the Honeypot Guild's schedule is really full and can't arrange people to come and entrust it, there is no money to make at all.

In contrast, during the time when the members of Mermaid Song were gone, Daddy Logging took advantage of this opportunity to start work. Not to mention the guild hall, the warehouse behind it has been constantly renovated and transformed. In addition to the classrooms, training rooms, and alchemy rooms that existed from the beginning, there are also rooms such as storage rooms, weapons rooms, planning rooms, and medical rooms. The originally empty warehouse was planned neatly, and it was very neat and coordinated as soon as you entered.

However, there is an end to this waiting time.
