Chapter 550: Consumption and Development
As Euclid sat down, Palos and Clemera crept in and sat down near the door.
Palos wears the Silver Bear badge, while Clemela wears the Silver Book Badge.
Even Palos, who is usually cold to outsiders, is just as excited and curious as Clemela's eyes.
The blue and pink eyes shimmer with a light of curiosity.
Aristotle stopped, looked at Su Ye, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Su Ye, have you been promoted to gold?" ”
Euclid jumped up from his chair as if he had sat on a red-hot iron stove.
Su Ye nodded.
Euclid was anxious, and said with wide eyes: "I haven't been promoted to the Holy Realm yet, how can you be promoted to gold?" ”
The teachers around him snickered.
"I've heard similar things." Aristotle said.
"I've heard it too." Archimedes tract.
The words of the two Sacred Domain Masters made everyone laugh even more unscrupulously.
Four masters of the academy, three sanctuary.
"Teacher Euclid, you will be promoted to the Sanctuary, don't worry." Su Ye Dao.
"I know!" Euclid sat down with a grunt, flipping through the magic book.
"You're not going to hold a grudge against me again, are you?" Su Ye half-jokingly.
"How can this be called a grudge?" Euclid squinted at Su Ye.
The teachers were even happier, and the wind element was wafting through the council hall with laughter.
Aristotle shook his head and patted Euclid on the shoulder, the space ring in his right hand flashed, and he held up a fist-sized light black wooden box in his hand.
The rich woody fragrance quickly spread through the temple.
"When ice queens die, they turn into a piece of ice crystal, which is considered their remains. I thought you would have a year or two later, but I didn't expect to be promoted so early, which is good. Aristotle smiled and handed it to Su Ye.
Su Ye took the aromatic wood box and said, "Thank you, Mr. Aristotle, how much is this ice queen remains, I will transfer the money to you now." ”
"It's the Academy's reward for your promotion to gold, and you have made such a contribution to the Academy and the wizarding world, we can't help but express it. Take it, don't be polite with me. Aristotle said.
Su Ye was about to refuse, but he accepted it calmly and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Aristotle, then I'm welcome, thank you, thank you, thank you, ”
Aristotle was very satisfied with Su Ye's refreshment, nodded, and walked with Archimedes to the highest seat.
Euclid looked around at the golden mages and asked, "Eudox didn't come?" ”
Gregory said, "He's going to post an article in the Magic Council today, and he says it seems like a very important theory. ”
"Oh, I kind of know what it is, I think it's interesting. I'll talk to him when he's done with that article. Euclid said.
Su Ye muttered in his heart, he didn't know which theory Odox would publish, if it was the theory of equal proportions, it would be too coincidental.
The Academy's Sanctuary Mages and Sanctuary Warriors arrived one after another, and there were nine people sitting at the highest seat.
There was a slight strangeness in the hearts of the students present.
It turns out that there are so many masters in Plato's Academy, plus at least two legendary masters, this power can easily crush ordinary medium-sized city-states.
And that's not even counting those you haven't seen.
Clemela and Palos looked at Su Ye.
This tablemate is so powerful, he is already a golden mage.
Every Sacred Domain Master who came in took a look at Su Ye, and with his powerful Sacred Domain ability, he sensed the aura of Su Ye's golden rank.
Then, look at Gregory with sympathetic eyes.
Every time Gregory felt this kind of gaze, he cursed in his heart.
Master Larens sat in the middle of the supreme table, coughed lightly, and said, "Let me first read out the three major items of this meeting. ”
"First, the direction of the development of Plato's Academy."
"Second, the manufacture and stockpiling of magic weapons and potions."
"Third, how to define the new relationship between Greece and Persia."
"Okay, let's move on to the first topic."
At the beginning of the meeting, it was extremely enthusiastic, the Silver Mages could not speak, the Sacred Realm Masters rarely spoke, and the Gold Mages were very active.
Su Ye didn't say a word, just listened, and recorded some content from time to time.
Even if you encounter an objection, you will not open your mouth to refute it, but just write it down and think about how to persuade the other party in a mutually acceptable way to get the other party to agree with you, and remove words that may anger the other person.
From time to time, Nedern glanced at the contents of Su Ye's records, and then wrote and drew himself, occasionally speaking.
After the two topics, the third topic begins.
There was a brief chill in the council chamber after Master Larens announced the third item, but soon a discussion erupted far more hotly than the first two.
The fire elemental is brewing in the chamber.
Different people have different understandings of Persia, Greece, and warfare.
The smell of fire in the council chamber grew stronger, and even the Sanctuary Master was debated, and in the end, Larens had to bang his staff on the table.
"Calm down, everyone, from now on, no one is allowed to express their opinions indiscriminately without my questions!"
Larens' majestic gaze scanned the room, and the chamber was silent.
Everyone did not speak, but waited quietly.
Larens slowly glanced at the audience, and finally, his gaze fell on Su Ye.
"Su Ye, what do you think?" Larens smiled kindly.
A strange scene appeared, those golden mages and holy domain masters were full of anticipation on their faces, on the other hand, those silver mages were not interested, and some even frowned slightly, as if they thought that Su Ye was not qualified to speak on such a major issue.
Su Ye said modestly: "Although the third topic is the new relationship between Greece and Persia, in fact, everyone is divided into dozens of topics, and I am soft-spoken and have no opinion. ”
"Since there are too many topics, let's talk about them one by one, let's talk about the first one, who do you think will have the upper hand in the long run, Persia or Greece." Larens asked.
Everyone stared at Su Ye tightly, because this issue just now caused quite a lot of controversy, and the two sides were almost half apart, and neither side could convince one side.
Su Ye thought for a moment and said, "Since Master Larens has a request, then I will take the liberty to express my opinion." When we analyze anything, from our own mood today to the world situation, we should have a method, or a tool, framework, model, and so on. Of course, any approach is just one angle, and no angle or method can cover everything or be perfect. ”
"Then you use your method to analyze some of the trends of the two countries and the world." Larens Road.
Su Ye nodded and said, "Then I will use a very simple method to analyze the future of Greece and Persia. I call this the consumption-development model. ”
Then, everyone saw that Su Ye opened the magic book and drew a horizontal line in the center, writing "high consumption" on the far left side of the horizontal line and "low consumption" on the far right side of the horizontal line.
A vertical line was drawn in the middle of the vertical horizontal line, with "high development" written at the top of the vertical line and "low development" written at the bottom of the vertical line.
In this way, the crosshairs divide the entire page into four pieces.
Low consumption and high development.
High consumption and high development.
Low consumption, low development.
High consumption and low development.
At the moment when the consumption development figure was completed, all the Sanctuary and some of the Golden Mages fell into deep thought, and then, most of the Golden Mages began to think.
On the other hand, those silver mages either looked blank or didn't care.
"The so-called development refers to bringing long-term positive value and benefits to the country, even if it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, such as the development of education, such as the development of basic disciplines, but as long as it can bring positive value and benefits in the long run, it is positive development, and every country is developing, high or low."
"The so-called consumption refers to the long-term negative value and benefits for the country, even if it is beneficial in the short term, but harmful in the long run, it is still negative and high consumption, and every country is consuming, high or low."
Su Ye smiled: "Each of us has in and out, each collective has in and out, and the country has in and out, from this point of view, as long as the growth of personal wealth is enough, it doesn't matter if we spend more money, and as long as the country develops fast enough, it doesn't matter if we consume more." Of course, this consumption and development are relative, not absolute. With this method, we can analyze which region Greece and Persia are in, and even Northern Europe and Egypt can be placed in it. ”
Su Ye said, in "high consumption and low development", write the word Egypt.
"The splendor of Egypt, as we all know, they were our teachers of Greece, they collected papyrus, made improvised glass, built great pyramids, gave birth to earlier civilizations, but, in recent decades, what have they created? No, they spend all their time on infighting and fighting. ”
"In their magical world, there is not only new magic, but also ancient witchcraft, and although the two sides have exchanges, they are more in opposition. Sorcerers have been fighting against magic, believing that it is a product of Greece and wanting to drive it out of Egypt. ”
"Their nobility, literally blossoming in three ways, attacking the sorcerers on the one hand, attacking the magicians on the other, and the war of the pharaohs in Egypt on the other. Therefore, compared with Greece and Persia, Egypt has serious internal friction and slow development, so Egypt is a country with high consumption and low development. ”
Most nodded slightly.
"Then there's the Nordics. Northern Europe is not the same as our three countries, the Nordic political system is relatively fragmented, and although there are battles between them, the intensity is not great. Moreover, even if Northern Europe attacked, it was in separate batches, and few were dispatched nationwide. However, Northern Europe is a cultural wasteland after all, and even if they are really willing to accept magic, they are too weak to grow in a short period of time. Today's Northern Europe is low-consumption and low-development. However, once the Nordics have enough foundations, they will develop very rapidly. ”
