CHAPTER XLVII
"We have to find a way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "said Manis, the goddess of wealth.
"yes, we have to find a way. Sui Xiong also said.
Then, they stared wide-eyed.
If they can figure out a way, do they still need to be in such a daze?
That rumor hit the nail on the head: for the nobility, family inheritance, the continuation of power and glory was one of the fundamental goals of their lives. Therefore, once the problem of "hindering the family inheritance" is involved, even the originally enlightened aristocracy often becomes old-fashioned.
Of course, there are not without the kind of people who do not take family inheritance seriously, and there are even progressives who think that the aristocratic inheritance system is very unreasonable, and think that the aristocracy should not have the privileges passed down from generation to generation, but as the so-called "individuals who betray the class, and groups that do not betray the class", as a whole, the aristocracy is extremely sensitive and opposed to things that may hinder the inheritance.
Although it is said that "rumors stop at the wise", it can ...... What if it's not a rumor?
The reason why Sui Xiong suggested that the goddess of wealth should hold a great council was mainly to divide the aristocratic group, separate the big nobles from the powerful nobles and the small nobles, plus the clergy and the representatives of the commoners, but also to weaken the power of the aristocratic group and destroy their unity.
As for the merchants...... When he was in school, no matter which teacher had said that the businessman group was the most lacking in long-term insight and the spirit of unity, and one or two teachers might have limited knowledge or they might be talking nonsense, but they couldn't have been uninformed and were talking nonsense.
And the rumor that "if there is a great council, the cost of the noble inheritance will increase in the future, and the noble group will be constantly weakened" Yunyun, at least as far as Sui Xiong's prediction is concerned, is indeed true.
So it's really hard to refute this rumor - this world is not the earth, and a lie can't become the truth no matter how many times it is repeated, and the truth can be easily judged by using prophecy spells. Especially for this kind of thing that involves the evolution of the country's general trend and will take a long time, basically as long as there is a clear reference, most of the mid-level mages who have a certain degree of attainment in prophecy spells can make accurate judgments.
After that rumor broke, at least twenty mid- and high-level mages tried to verify it in various ways. And every mage who casts a spell successfully proves it right.
Because of this, the nobles reacted so violently.
A soft knife cuts people without realizing death, but what if the other party already knows it clearly?
Then it's better to throw down the soft knife, lift the steel knife, and everyone will have a good time with a real knife and a real gun!
So, Sui Xiong is now thinking about this issue very seriously.
It seems that it can't be fooled, and since it can't be fooled, it's better to forget it.
If you are the first to do it, at least you will have a first hand!
So he told the goddess of fortune his advice.
"Let the merchants do it first?" the goddess of wealth was stunned, "Isn't this going to betray those nobles who have believed in me for many years?"
He can't be blamed for his indecision, but even in his kingdom of God, there are a large number of believers of noble origin. If he really turned his face completely with the aristocratic group, he would definitely suffer a heavy blow, and he might even fall from a strong divine power to a medium divine power.
"But other than that, do you have any other good ideas?" Sui Xiong asked rhetorically.
The goddess of wealth had a bitter face and had nothing to say.
If there was a good solution, He would have used it long ago!
"However, this battle cannot be fought!" but he was still stubborn, "If the fight starts, no matter who wins or loses, the Gold Federation will definitely be finished." ”
"Only by winning this battle can we truly establish a merchant country. ”
"But...... What if I lose?"
Sui Xiong was speechless, he was silent for a while, and then said angrily: "Why do you have the illusion of 'you may lose'?"
"Although the merchant faction has the money and can recruit a large number of mercenaries, the mercenaries have always lacked cooperation, and they lack the determination to fight to the end at critical moments. Relying on such an army to compete with the private army accumulated by the aristocratic faction for many years, there is a ghost if you win!" The goddess of wealth said curiously, "Don't think that I don't know how to fight, I still have basic common sense!"
"Not only that, but the wealth of the merchants comes from trading. Once the war began, the trade routes were cut off and the trade stopped. No matter how much family property you have, you can only sit and eat. It won't be long before even the mercenaries can't be paid. In contrast, the army of the nobility only needs military rations, and they will definitely not be short of food, and it will be no problem to fight for three or five years. The goddess of wealth sighed and said, "At least from my point of view, the merchant faction will definitely not win." Alas, if they could really win, how could they have regressed twice in a row?"
Sui Xiong was silent, he hesitated a little, considering whether to use those big killing weapons that had set off a red wave on the earth.
But after much consideration, he gave up on that plan.
The tiger is out of the cage, and it will be difficult to keep it again. He did want to make the world better, but he definitely didn't want to do it in that cool way.
There is a king on earth who said, "After I die, let it flood the sky", Sui Xiong is not very opposed to this open-minded attitude, but he can't die......
I was alive and saw myself igniting the spark and turning into a fireless flame, sweeping across the vast land, burning the sky red with blood and life as fuel.
Nima, thinking about this thing makes people feel a little hairy on end, and I can't do it!
So in the end, he had to say: "If necessary, the Northwest Republic can send troops to help the merchant faction fight." ”
The goddess of wealth was stunned, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Perhaps...... That's fine. He said, "Let the merchants move to the north, and establish a republic adjacent to the Northwest Republic...... Or simply direct incorporation into the Northwest Republic is not bad. As long as the Federation of Gold Coins, split it in two, at least the aristocratic faction will not be so desperate......"
“...... Is it really okay for you to simply split up the country that believes in you?" Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and asked.
"What's the problem?" asked the goddess of wealth, "for us, the state or something is nothing more than a passing cloud." As long as the various forces that believe in me can not be broken, and can even develop further, what does it matter if the Gold Coin Federation is divided?"
Sui Xiong was speechless, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the goddess of wealth.
After a while, they put this suggestion in the meeting of the gods for discussion.
"That's not a bad idea. Wenner, the Lord of War, nodded and said, "Now that the situation of the Gold Federation is clear, the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction really can't tolerate each other anymore. Either you fight to the death, or everyone splits up and goes their own way. If they are separated, they can at least avoid a civil war. ”
"Can you really avoid a civil war?" Sui Xiong asked suspiciously.
"Of course, it is impossible to avoid it completely, but the scale and intensity of the war is certainly much smaller than the two sides fighting for the whole country. The Lord of War said, "Since war cannot be avoided, then at least it can be made smaller." ”
"Or do you have a better solution?"
Gods, you look at me, I look at you, I can't think of a better way.
So, the matter was settled. (To be continued.) )
