Chapter 51: Aristocracy and Exploitation

"Meet the King!"

Above the main hall, there are a lot of people, because today is a monthly court meeting, basically Wallash's officials and nobles will come here.

Of course, today for these people, the meeting is one thing, and watching the excitement is the other thing, and the five nobles of Wallash, who specialize in the food business, have done it, and the degree of excitement is quite large, but wouldn't it be a loss to come and see it..

"Let's start debriefing.."

"Yes."

With the king's order, these officials and nobles began to report one by one on the situation in the previous month, and even in the entire border kingdom, as well as the policy of the next month, of course, there was also the battle situation on the front line, not so optimistic, but not at a loss, and it was steadily advancing.

In the meantime, the king will also order adjustments and guidelines for certain policies, in short, in the eyes of Fugui, he is really a driver as he says, and he is very completely responsible for controlling the macro direction, and does not care about anything else.

However, such a king can only exist in this world, he has the biggest fist, no matter what happens, he is not afraid of being set aside, anyway, if you don't obey, it will be good to kill you directly..

"Good, everybody's doing a good job."

After a long time, King Caesar clapped his hands.

"I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, and the hope of the Border Kingdom is in your hands..."

"The king is a fool."

...

"Father, there is already a result of that matter."

When the serious things were all dealt with, the third princess on the side walked out.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

On the throne, Caesar was smiling, but in fact he almost couldn't help laughing, what happened these days had not escaped his eyes, and he naturally knew what had happened to the copper coin boy, and he didn't care much about the lunch box or something.

However, the magic spell that he had written and seemed to be a deformed spell in the eyes of ordinary people made him pay great attention to it.

The old principal of the Royal Alchemy Academy, who is also his best friend, couldn't help but say bullshit after seeing that magic spell, but it was whimsical.

The value is very large, but the value is not large, because only people who understand the magic pattern to the level of wealth and nobility are qualified to play like this, if you want to promote this method, the result will outweigh the losses, and it will only make ordinary alchemists confused...

However, Caesar didn't care, there was no shortage of alchemists in the border kingdom, what was lacking was creative people like Fugui, their things were difficult for others to imitate, but they were not used to imitate, they were more like a guide and a weather vane.

In the future, sooner or later, someone will improve and summarize it, and then summarize it into orthodox alchemy, so as to improve the alchemy level of the border kingdom as a whole.

Thinking of this, his gaze also wandered back and forth between Pendry and the copper coin from time to time.

"Now, the Francis family's deal with the copper coin has been reached, and the Francis family still supplies goods to the military at the price of ten silver dollars a piece, and there has also been a huge increase in production, which is enough to satisfy all the troops in the south."

"In fact, the logistics department has scrapped the previous contract and purchased the Francis family's boxed lunches in full, because this price is too cheap compared to the cost price of forty silver dollars."

"Hmm.."

King Caesar nodded, and then looked at the four nobles.

"So, is there anything you guys would like to say? If not, you will have to go to jail and pay compensation. ”

"Return to the king, we... There is something to say. ”

The leader is still the man named Victor.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Yes, King."

Victor took a deep breath and looked at Fugui and Francis.

"It is true that they did not use the copper coin to produce a boxed lunch, but developed a special alchemy machine to replace the ability of the copper coin to replace the copper coin, but the current price and current output are completely obtained by squeezing the civilians of Nanxi Village."

"According to our survey, the villagers in Nanxi Village now have to work an average of 15 or 6 hours a day to meet the production of 2,000 boxes of lunch boxes a day.

"Besides, that kind of alchemy machine, when used, will produce certain fluctuations in magical energy, and these fluctuations will cause irreparable damage to the bodies of civilians, king, they are trampling on the laws you have promulgated, they are exploiting the flesh and blood of civilians to fill their own coffers!"

"Poof..."

Not far away, Fugui couldn't help laughing, the same was true of the third princess, of course, even King Caesar, who was sitting on the throne, was pinching his chin, but the dignity of the king made him hold back his laughter.

An aristocrat who started by exploiting commoners suddenly talks about exploitation is probably the funniest joke in a sense.

"However, it's also interesting, after today, maybe these nobles will restrain themselves."

Caesar couldn't help but think about it while holding back his laughter.

"But... Victor. ”

"Your Majesty is here."

"I remember that the worker protection law I promulgated was a personal accusation, and as long as the people of Nanxi Village did not file a complaint, your accusations would be meaningless."

"Of course there are people, they are just forced by the Francis family to dare not come to complain, but Your Majesty has promised them that they will protect their safety, please allow Your Majesty to summon witnesses."

"Okay."

A moment later, several civilians were brought to the top of the main hall, trembling and bowing their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the air, it was the same people with foreign accents.

"You should have heard what I just said, is it true?"

"Yes.. It's true.."

"So, you admit to being exploited by the Francis family and the Bronze Coins, right?"

"Yes, yes, we, what other contract we signed, that is the evidence!"

"King, this is the contract I got from Nanxi Village, and I used a little trick to worry that they would destroy the evidence."

Victor pulled a contract out of his arms.

"The whole process of the transaction is clearly recorded above, and now the facts and evidence are there, I beg you to reconvict the Francis family and the copper coins, these two wicked people who dare to trample on the laws of the kingdom!"

"Copper, Francis, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes."

Francis took two steps forward.

"Your Excellency Victor, since you said that it is evidence, can you please read the contract?"
