Chapter 1165: The Year of Chaos (6)
"At this time, it is estimated that every country has its own troubles, and perhaps even the Principality of Sorrow, which seems to be the most stable at the moment...... is no exception," Calvin couldn't help but sigh deeply, "You say that I, the head of the R&D Department, why should I be distracted to do these things that the Ministry of Finance should do? Is their Ministry of Finance so wasted? It's really not good, they can also let the students in the military academy go to internships!"
"Don't say it's you, I also have a lot of tasks on my side. Grigory shook his head, "The knowledge of the empire is monopolized by the aristocracy, and the number of scholars among the people is not large, even in the imperial capital, it is difficult to support so many departments. Now all departments are eager to split one person into two people to use, and they are about to use people as livestock!"
"Originally, I said that I would take a good vacation to accompany Alyssa, but now it's good, the vacation is gone!" Thinking of the miserable life after that, Calvin couldn't help but hold his head and wail in self-abandonment.
Both of their children were born, and they were supposed to be at home with their wives and children at this time, but they didn't expect to work more and more.
After howling for a while, Calvin put down his hands weakly and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Staring at the gray-white sky with layers of clouds and mist, Calvin leaned his tired body against the back of the bench, "What do you say about that idiom that Serena chief maid said? is the one that describes the current situation of the Empire...... Back to light?"
Grigory closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "The building will fall!"
"In the lands of many nobles, many miners died, and many farmers lost their land. Calvin's lips pursed, the corners of his lips curled, "They've done anything to mine more ore for production, and they're like crazy to get more people into the factory...... Sometimes I wonder if what we're doing is the right thing and if what we're doing is worth it?"
"It was beautiful when I first conceived it, but now, I feel that things like 'factories' and 'steam engines' should never be in this world in the first place. ”
A dejected Calvin pointed to his head and sighed, "Perhaps, even we shouldn't be in this world......"
Even with the steam engine, it would be useless without the production machines they had designed, and if there were no supporting production machines, the steam engine would just be a steam engine.
"The empire has begun the process of industrialization, and perhaps all of this is inevitable......" Gregory whispered to Calvin, "the demon tide is bound to happen, without strong enough logistical capabilities, the southern front would not have been able to hold on until now, and if it weren't for those powerful machinery, maybe the orcs wouldn't have surrendered and thrown in the towel." ”
A nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, Calvin turned his head and glared, and asked angrily, "Then do you think that the sacrifice of those people is necessary?"
"No!" Gregory shook his head again, "I never considered sacrifice a 'must', but we don't have a better alternative now, can we still bring about a revolution and purge the empire of nobles from all over the world, large and small?"
He calmly looked directly into Calvin's eyes full of anger, and said softly, "We can't, the empire can't be more chaotic now, otherwise more people will be hurt......"
The corners of Calvin's mouth twitched slightly, "Compromise, you won't get anything!"
"But the struggle will lead to more trouble!" Gregory pursed his lips as well, "Calvin, you must know that the power of the nobles is not weak, and if we want to weaken their power, the first to jump out against us is the big nobles who have been supporting the centralization of power in the empire before. If the empire collapses first, then the southern front will soon collapse with it, and the civilians in the south of the empire will suffer even more!"
Glancing deeply at Gregory, Calvin threw his head to the side and whispered, "...... Before, your temper was more impulsive than mine. ”
Gregory opened his mouth to say something, but their phones rang at the same time, and they both looked down with a fixed look in their eyes.
"It's Your Majesty!" Calvin stood up and looked up in surprise in the direction of the Eternal Day Palace.
Gregory also stood up with his cane, his eyes gradually cold, "Let's go!"
............
“...... Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"
When Gregory and Calvin heard about Caesar XIII's plan, their faces did not change much, only slightly surprised.
Lille stood aside, silent, but his eyes seemed to burn with blazing flames.
Caesar XIII grimaced and nodded his head, "If I don't do something about it, this empire will be hopeless...... Isn't it?"
What they can all think of, there is no reason why His Majesty can't think of it.
Everyone knows that there are many problems in this empire now, and Caesar XIII wanted to make this empire stronger, but what the nobles are doing now is to make the empire slide into the abyss of unknowability.
It is true that the nobles cared more about 'food' than merchants, but if a product brought them far more benefits than food, then they would not hesitate to commit unforgivable crimes.
Now, for example, the aristocracy did not hesitate to take away the land of the peasants, forced them into factories and mines, and used crude methods, without giving the small workshop craftsmen who made a living from it the slightest chance of survival, and seized the market with a large number of low-priced products.
People who had just been freed from slavery were sent to factories and became nameless 'slaves'.
"Lille has found out that I originally mandated basic education throughout the empire, and did not allow children under the age of fourteen to work, but do you know what they did?"
Hearing this question, Gregory and Calvin's eyes widened in disbelief, especially Gregory, just now, he was still trying to persuade Calvin, but now, the most unacceptable thing has happened!
It was only at this moment that Gregory gritted two of his teeth, and his anger went straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.
“...... Lelle, how many armors do you need if you're going to crack down?" he asked the leader of the Sleepless Eye, almost in a trembling voice.
Lille glanced at Gregory, who had a hideous face, and said indifferently: "One hundred sets." ”
Although he didn't know how strong this 'Warframe' could make his men stronger, from the data revealed by Calvin when he chatted with him, he thought that if he had a Warframe, then this operation would be safe.
Gregory's lips pursed, and he said coldly: "I'll give it to you in three weeks!"
Calvin, who was standing on the side, heard the change of color and hurriedly said: "Hey, Gregory, now we have a maximum of ten sets in our hands, and we will ...... in three weeks."
"I say three weeks, three weeks!" Gregory glared at him through gritted teeth, "they are killing the future of this empire by doing this, and I will not allow them to do so!"
Blood foamed out of his mouth, and Calvin noticed that his teeth had been crushed.
The raging anger continued to burn Gregory's mind, what was for the sake of the big picture, what would be more suffering, if these problems were not solved, the empire would really be finished!
He was so ashamed of what he had thought before, and he couldn't even imagine what he had thought to justify those ugly fools in the first place.
"Your Majesty, take the opportunity to take back some power......" Gregory looked back at the Emperor, clutched the head of his cane tightly with both hands, and sneered and proposed, "The commander of the Southern United Legion is our people, and the deputy captains are also sensible, presumably the Glorious Church will not oppose all this." It's useless to just suppress disobedient nobles, they will never give up these considerable interests, and the head maid of Serena once mentioned a famous saying in another world, 'If you seek peace by struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace by compromise, you will die in peace', and now it seems that this sentence is simply the truth of the world!"
Hearing this, Calvin was stunned for a moment, and his mind was still a little unable to turn, is this still the Gregory who persuaded him just now?
But he was only stunned for a moment, he put his legs together, beat his chest with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Looking at those two guys, Lille's eyes flickered, the corners of his stiff lips curled slightly, and he turned around and bowed to Caesar XIII, "Your Majesty, please give the order!"
“...... Gregory's words are reasonable. Caesar XIII suddenly laughed and gestured to the three of them, "Since you have done it, then you must do it perfectly!"
"Find a few guys to make an example of the monkeys, and I want them to understand that there are some orders that are not allowed to be disobeyed!"
