Two hundred and thirty-three spoils conference, Li Qi's routine
Rich's speech was eventually ignored, and he noted that after the meeting ended, Bishop Hadron personally approached the recorder and removed the transcript of his speech. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It doesn't matter, those who should know will always know, and those who should understand will always understand, and this is just the beginning.
After a brief lunch, the meeting resumed, turning to how to live in harmony with the new forces joining the Alliance, including but not limited to mages, half-elves, and stormy sea spirits.
There is nothing difficult about this topic, and it is basically a scene of solidarity and friendship.
Of course, it is not without controversy, as for the half-elves, although the nobles recognized the principle of "reciprocity of titles", the trade autonomy demanded by the half-elf dominions was pushed to Her Majesty.
The countries believe that the Dominion is ultimately owned by the Queen, and that the Queen has the right to make decisions in this regard, much to the anger of the Pointed Ears.
The room was filled with the strange pronunciation of the half-elves' tongues fluttering, and one half-elf even jumped on the table, two gloves on his ears, and made a rapid thrusting motion.
Tina's "pointy ear shame" seems to have a deep cultural background.
The topic of magicians is not so sharp, and there have been many magicians who have demonstrated it themselves. As long as the magician obeys the local laws, he can freely purchase property and open a workshop. If a meritorious service is made, the Duchy of the Kingdom will also grant the corresponding title, and will not be treated differently because of its status as a magician.
In fact, magicians are still the object of competition among countries, and the upper nobility does not discriminate and fear magicians as much as the bottom. Since the end of the last era, when mages were allowed to roam freely on the continent, various kingdoms and principalities have been training mages to be loyal to them.
The so-called "court magician" is a tacit agreement reached between the nobles of the mainland and the Storm Islands. The Mage Federation regularly selects members of the royal family or the children of the upper nobility, trains them to become magicians, and then sends them back to their home countries to serve.
Just like Rowanna, that's how she went to the Storm Isles. It was only because of her talent and performance that she was kept by the Storm Islands until she was promoted to legend. And she wants to return to her country, even if it was the Golden Family that was in charge at that time, it was not easy to forcibly keep people.
Now that the alliance of order has been established, exchanges between the two sides will inevitably be more extensive and deeper. The two countries of Sachedon and Elanis had already made the conditions of the marquis of Ted and Menessus, hoping that they would become powerful arms of the state after accepting the secular titles.
However, this does not mean that the aristocracy does not have the slightest precaution against magicians, and it is no problem to accept some apprentices sporadically, establish a magic academy, and conduct magic education on a large scale, which is not allowed. After all, most of Finn's magicians are from the Storm Islands, and he is also a member of the Mage Federation, no matter which country he is, he doesn't want to see the Storm Islands erode his rule through magicians.
As for the relationship with the sea spirit, the queen has already made a big framework with the mermaid king, and the sea spirit has not sent a representative over, so there is no need to discuss it here.
When it was Richie's turn to speak, the room was silent again, and of course most people had the mentality of "what funny words can be heard".
"Regarding the magician, I reiterate the morning's point. As long as the mage supports Her Majesty the Queen and accepts the new order, he is a loyal ally of the Order Alliance. Therefore, I hope that all countries will open their arms and welcome magicians to open magic academies in their territories, cultivate more magicians, and contribute more strength to Her Majesty the Queen and the Alliance of Order. ”
Zolde and others rubbed out all kinds of flowers with their hands to applaud Li Qi's speech. The nobles looked at each other with gloomy faces.
Court magicians are chosen by nobles and given to magicians to cultivate, loyalty is guaranteed, and there is enough control. But if you want to let magicians be free, don't you teach apprentices on a large scale, doesn't this make magicians their own faction in the country? and collude with the mage federation, the threat is too terrible.
Seeing that another manuscript was stuffed into the hands of the son of the Grand Duke of Norton, the guy cleared his throat triumphantly and was about to speak, but Richie stopped him with a "but" and raised everyone's hearts again.
"I stress once again that the sovereignty of the state is supreme! The development of magicians must not affect this core! Therefore, I suggest that magicians should be subject to strict management and supervision. ”
"To do this, we need special laws, with detailed provisions and severe punishments, to ensure that magicians benefit the world and not cause harm. ”
"I've only thought of a few rough items here, and the rest of you can brainstorm ideas, for example, prohibiting magicians from conducting live-body experiments......"
When these words came out, not only Zold, but most of the magicians present turned ugly.
"It is forbidden to use, teach, and study summoning spells such as undead and demons, to engage in evil acts such as mind control and soul extraction of innocent people, and to research and manufacture related magic devices. ”
"Of course, to really implement such management, there must be practical implementation measures. That's why I suggest that all magicians' magic towers be reported to the state and inspected regularly. Even the magicians themselves have to be registered by the host country, and those who do not register and are not subject to inspection will be regarded as hostile elements with evil intentions and against the Alliance!"
Zolde rolled his eyes for a moment, thinking that he already had a noble status and his territory was far away in the remote Red Stone, and his frown furrowed.
Some of the other magicians sneered, some disdainful, and some spat directly.
Who rarely runs to your territory, for a magician, to accept such a condition is simply self-inflicted!
The magic tower is a sacred place for magicians, and they are in charge of their own territory, and the wind can't enter and the rain can't get wet. Even if he is a member of the Supreme Council, he will not trespass into other people's magic towers without invitation, and the king is a dick?
The nobles are mixed, this method is good, if it can really become a reality, they can not only master the power of the magician, but also not be threatened by the magician to their rule.
It wasn't until the eldest prince of the Sachiton Kingdom, that is, Rimako's elder brother, asked questions that all the nobles woke up from their dreams.
The eldest prince coughed and asked, "Your Excellency, what about then?"
"And then ......"
Li Qi smiled and nodded to the eldest prince: "Considering the principle of a game of chess for the whole alliance and the need for effective communication with the Storm Islands, I propose that the management of the mage's department and the power to make the corresponding laws be put in the hands of Her Majesty. ”
The hall was as silent as if there were no living people......
A maid pushed open the side door and was about to fill the nobles with tea, when the creaking sound of the doorway reverberated through the hall with a loud sound, making everyone's eyes look away.
The maid was stared at by the fierce gaze of both flame and frost, and her eyes rolled in fright, and her body stiffened. When the kettle in her hand fell to the ground, she also sat on the ground with a duck.
After a long pause, the host waved his hand to drag the maid out, and then tried to squeeze out a smile and asked Li Qi: "What is this...... Your Excellency, your personal advice?"
Seeing Li Qi nodding, the venue resounded with a continuous exhalation.
"Next, I'll talk about the half-elf", Li Qi's words made everyone's newly settled hearts hang high again.
"I'm puzzled that there's never been a single topic to be discussed!"
Richie's voice was raised: "That's the slave!"
"As far as I know, in Hadron alone, half of the slaves come from the half-elves of the Forgotten Forest!"
"The faith of my lord Lady Crimson is that all for me, I am for all, and it is to fill Finn with love! The existence of slaves is the greatest evil deed of Finn for me and my church! Saving all slaves, setting all slaves free, and letting this evil deed completely disappear from Finn, is the supreme goal of the Crimson Church and of me as the Pope!"
The words like a battle declaration shook the heartstrings of everyone present, and at the same time, the thought of "it was so" also arose.
Zolde re-examined Li Qi with strange eyes, and the little dragon girl covered her mouth and looked at Li Qi in disbelief. There was both surprise and admiration in her eyes, she had known about Li Qi's "ideal", but she really didn't expect that Li Qi would have the courage to make it public on such an occasion.
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, Li Qi seemed to be already the same existence as a holy warrior or a crucifixion.
Fortunately, it's just the Paladins and the Crucifixion.
If we talk about the abolition of all class oppression and the establishment of Cosmopolitan Finn, we should be regarded as the devil of the abyss of purgatory.
"Of course, I also know that such an objective is unrealistic and would undermine the new order that Her Majesty wishes to establish. ”
Li Qi took another turn, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, I've lowered my goal to ban the slave trade!" I think this is not only realistic, but also in line with Her Majesty's new order!"
Hundreds of hearts were lifted again, and they were about to turn into piston motion.
"Patriarch Morning Song, Patriarch Evening Star, no, it's time to call the two of you earls, do you want to see your compatriots still being bought and sold as goods and driven by cattle and horses because of long-standing discrimination?"
Li Qi looked at the group of pointed ears: "You should stand up and join me in advocating for the prohibition of the slave trade!"
The pointy-eared people looked at each other, the old Patriarch of the Evening Star coughed and did not speak, and the young Patriarch of Morning Song slapped the table.
"Count Prell, this is our own internal affair, you are an outsider, you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks!"
The uncontrollable puff laughter came and went, Li Qi is a hot face and a cold ass, it's rare, it's really rare to see Li Qi in the middle.
Everyone was unimpressed, and even Zelder was sighing secretly, it was really the Pope who loved God, and he didn't understand why slaves existed or where they came from.
"Whether you are qualified or not, it doesn't matter if you are an outsider or not. It's just me saying now, and when the more qualified people tell you in other ways, it'll be too late to regret it. ”
Richie shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said something that no one understood.
I had expected this reaction for a long time, and the source of the half-elf slave trade was not the upper echelons of you half-elf families? You were the biggest supplier to the slave traders!
In the earth world, when I was in the second year of junior high school, I knew the structure and roots of the slave economy, and even in another world, there was nothing new. The half-elves became the subject of the slave trade, and in the final analysis, it was not a racial contradiction, but a class contradiction.
So in the eyes of everyone, Li Qi stopped speaking boredly.
"Li Qi, I'll find you a wizard when I go back later, and see if there's something wrong with you", the little dragon girl said with concern, "You're acting too ...... Something's wrong, I don't think you'd better speak later. ”
Li Qi laughed: "I'm fine, in fact, since I've been here, I haven't felt so good like this." ”
It doesn't feel good to stand on the top of history, to look down on you scum who will be eliminated by history, to sit on the pyre that will burn you in the future, and to give me god-like advice and warnings that are either scoffed at or listened to as a joke.
These words are only aimed at building a modern state of a bourgeois nature, so let you regard it as a joke or a crazy talk, and as a renunciation. The process of moving from the religious revolution to the bourgeois revolution will be so fast that you will not understand it at all......
The little dragon girl naturally couldn't hear the meaning of Li Qi's words, and even understood what he said "since I arrived here" as entering the hall, not knowing that he was talking about coming from the earth world to the Finn world.
She hugged her head in distress and said, "That's what's even more wrong!"
After the discussion was over, the economic aspects were then discussed.
When the host called Li Qi's name, everyone put on a posture of watching the mirage, and almost at the same time, hundreds of people were beckoning the maid to add tea.
"Merchants can't have no borders! We must draw boundaries for merchants, either our friends or our enemies, and we don't allow merchants to ride the wall! The alliance of order must unite into one economy, so that we can wage a war on the economic level, and also against Reka!"
Hearing Li Qi say about the country's tightening of control over commercial activities, Xiaolongnu clenched her fists, and her breathing became cloudy, while the others had expressions on their faces.
"Of course, the merchant is a wanderer...... No, there is a lot of liquidity, and a lot of large-scale trade is transnational in nature. To manage business, the state alone will not work, so I suggest ......"
It is recommended that the ministry directly under the queen be managed in a unified manner, right?
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were full of smiles of "routines, routines".
"Richie ......"
The little dragon girl finally couldn't help it and stepped on Li Qi's foot fiercely.
The pink-haired big Lori with horns on her head is overflowing with orange and red light at the corners of her mouth, and her body is overflowing with a thick sulfur smell.
She roared in a voice that was several times lower and thicker than usual, "Shut up——!"
