"What do you think about this matter?" Sui Xiong explained the cause and effect of the matter, and said with a frown, "Don't blame me for talking too much, you should also unify your thoughts for your followers." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info We don't pursue any unity from top to bottom, and it's not strange that there are factions inside, but we can't make trouble to the point where the two major factions use force and fire!"

Manis, the goddess of wealth, who was always full of confidence, looked a little less confident at the moment, and she was silent for a long time before she sighed deeply and still didn't say anything.

"What's wrong with you?" Sui Xiong wondered, "Wasn't it okay some time ago?"

"At that time, I thought I could put this thing down. The goddess of fortune finally spoke, her voice full of bitterness, "Now I find that I can't hold it back. Not only can it not be suppressed, but it is ...... Something big is going to happen. ”

Sui Xiong was taken aback, although he had somewhat expected the severity of the situation, he never expected that it was so serious that the goddess of wealth could do nothing.

"How so? Do you mean you can't even control the church?" he asked worriedly.

"The church is still in control, but now ...... The only thing I can control is the church. The goddess of wealth sighed, looking very tired, "There is already a quarrel between the aristocratic faction and the merchant faction. Although the church is still trying its best to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, it seems that this time it cannot be suppressed. ”

"What happens if you can't hold it down? Is there really a civil war?"

"It should be. The goddess of wealth smiled bitterly and said, "I have learned in detail that there is really no way to mediate between the aristocratic faction and the merchant faction this time. ”

"Why?"

"Probably because of the 'assembly line work'. The goddess of fortune said, "The assembly line method can greatly reduce the time spent training workers, and can disassemble the originally complex processes, greatly increasing the content that can be produced." At present, the merchant faction is fully promoting this production process, so more manpower is needed. But they don't have enough workers on hand and have to recruit ......"

Sui Xiong understood.

For the commoners, although the skills that could be learned in assembly work were limited, the wages in the workshops were clearly higher than the income from farming—mainly because the nobles collected too much tax to farm to support their families. In contrast, workmanship can at least fill an old family.

The world has not yet entered the era of the so-called "blood and filth" industrial revolution, and the wages in the workshop, although not very high, are at least much higher than farming...... At least that's the case in the Gold Federation.

In this case, it is naturally not difficult for businessmen to recruit workers.

However, there is a problem.

Most of the civilians of this world are not "free people". As subjects of the lord, they did not have the right to accept employment freely.

And the lords, will they allow a large number of laborers in their territory to run away to become workers?

Sui Xiong recalled for a moment and remembered Gelteng.

Gerten was once a region with agriculture as its main income, but now it is a world-famous producer of stationery and medicinal herbs.

So he contacted Orion and asked about it.

"Put farming down, of course. Orian replied, "Whatever you need, just buy it." ”

Sui Xiong nodded, which was similar to his guess.

However, it is clear that most of the lords of the Gold Federation could not accept this kind of thing, because those workshops did not belong to them, but to the merchant faction.

"Would it be okay if the merchants let the lord take a stake in the workshop?"

The goddess of wealth shook her head: "This is impossible, behind the workshop is technology, and technology is the foundation of the workshop owners' endurance." Even if the lords claimed to be only shareholders and did not participate in the operation, they would not be able to give up their stake in the workshop. ”

"In fact...... In order to avoid the risk of technology leakage, most workshop owners with more capital would not hire local workers, preferring to hire non-local workers for more money, so as not to give the lord a reason to interfere. ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After being surprised, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The lords of this world are much stronger than on the earth, and the merchants of this world are much stronger than on the earth.

If the workers are hired, it will hinder the production of the territory and harm the interests of the lord. But the merchants, especially the big ones, were in desperate need of a large number of workers to produce and at the same time refused to give up the profits of the workshops.

If it were on Earth, the two sides would probably be able to compromise their interests by uniting and squeezing the workers to death. But in this world, there are also good gods behind the commoners, although they usually don't take care of things, but if there is really a joint behavior of lords and merchants to squeeze the workers and squeeze the last bit of profit in a frenzy, I am afraid that the holy warriors will come to the door with a roar in a few days.

In this case, it is not surprising that the contradictions between the noble lords and the workshop merchants will intensify.

"Can't we let the merchants regress a little?" Sui Xiong thought for a while and said, "You can't make enough money, and it's okay to make less." ”

"All along, it's the businessmen who are giving in. The goddess of wealth sighed and said.

Sui Xiong was speechless.

It can be seen that the merchant faction has endured it for a long time, and now it has really reached the point where it can't bear it anymore.

The so-called "cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents," and the so-called "as long as there is 300 percent profit, the capitalist is not even afraid of going to the gallows", and the merchant faction has been able to endure until now because of the face of the goddess of wealth. Now that they finally can't help but explode, the face of the goddess of wealth is naturally not good.

What's more, once the merchants have made up their minds to tear their faces with the noble lords, the goddess of wealth should be on their side.

In any case, the merchant is the core believer in the goddess of wealth.

Sui Xiong thought about it and asked about it.

"I really...... Don't know what to do. The goddess of wealth shook her head with a wry smile, "The merchant faction is certainly my core believer, but most of the nobles of the Gold Coin Federation have been my believers for generations!"

"Now my clergy are also worried, some of them come from noble families, some of them come from merchant families, and the pressure from their families is also very difficult for them...... Now, as we speak, hundreds of clerics are praying to me to resolve the tensions between the two factions and restore peace to the Gold Federation. ”

Sui Xiong looked at the bitter look of the goddess of wealth, and couldn't help but sigh too.

Obviously, He couldn't.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, the assembly operation method, I remember that I should have invented it, I didn't let people expand their business to the Gold Coin Federation, how could this technology be passed on?"

The goddess of wealth suddenly showed an embarrassed look, looking embarrassed to have done something bad and was caught red-handed.

So Sui Xiong understood.

Looking at the appearance of the goddess of wealth, he remembered a famous saying in his heart.
