Chapter 60: You Have No Choice (Ask for Subscription!! )
Ma Wei stood up with his wine glass, he didn't drink, but he didn't make a special appearance in front of so many people, making himself look different.
"What you want is nothing more than a guarantee." The chair moved back a few minutes, and Ma Wei left his seat, holding a wine glass, and walked around the dimly lit dining room.
"This kind of thinking is actually true, but have you ever thought that security is actually something you need to fight for?"
"What we want to build is a very different country from the past, the so-called policy reform, from top to bottom, to rejuvenate the Romanov kingdom and eliminate fatigue."
But then again, how can a kingdom, a nation, have no administrators? That's what you want, a job, a vital position! The speed of his speech was not hurried, his words were clear, and everyone could hear Mavi's voice clearly, and as he spoke, Mavi had already gone around to the other side of the table, and came to the back of the eldest son of the Count of Joros.
The thick and powerful palm pressed the shoulder of the eldest son of the Count of Joros and patted it twice, Mavi continued: "It is impossible to govern the country with only one person, Katerina, we need officials, and you, want to be officials..."
"It was a real hit." The eldest son of Count Jorus said, "Isn't it? ”
"But we don't need a corpse vegetarian meal, a moth that fills our own pockets." Ma Wei said with a smile: "This is an unquestionable prerequisite. The young people from the aristocratic family looked solemn, and no one spoke, but the atmosphere in the restaurant instantly became tense.
"But...," Ma Wei's next sentence eased the tense atmosphere a little: "If it is a reasonable range of remuneration, there is no problem." ”
"What is a reasonable remuneration?" The eldest son of Captain Shevzov asked: "We need a clear definition. ”
"Remuneration within a reasonable range refers to the legal profits obtained through labor, production, etc. within the scope of the law, and is not the means of obtaining benefits through exploitation and exploitation as it is now." "We want to abolish serfdom," Mavi said. ”
"What?!" There was an uproar in the restaurant, these young people of the aristocratic family couldn't sit still, compared to the abolition of the aristocracy, serfdom is the fundamental source of their profits, because in the policy of the Romanov Kingdom, the territory used by the nobles nominally belongs to the king, the nobles only have the right to use the territory, not the right to sell or lease, the king can take back the territory at any time, and only the serfs are the 'private property' of the nobles.
Abolish serfdom .... It is equivalent to moving the cake of all nobles!
"Don't get excited, I'm not done yet." Mavi glanced at Katerina and added, "Do you think that without serfs, your interests will be greatly reduced?" ”
"This idea is not only wrong, but it is very wrong!"
"Relying solely on primitive resources, such as minerals, coal, crops, and unpaid serfs can indeed bring huge profits, but don't forget, after the reform of Her Royal Highness Katerina, the Romanov kingdom will embark on the path of industrialization, and it can no longer be like before."
"So what benefits can industrialization bring us?" Someone asked. Ma Wei clapped his hands, the door of the restaurant opened, and Dino walked in and handed out the materials prepared in advance to the young people one by one.
"Look, these materials are compiled by us based on the revenues of the Kingdom of Windsor." Mavi glanced at Dino and raised his voice after motioning for him to leave the restaurant: "Many years ago, the Kingdom of Windsor, like the Kingdom of Romanovs, relied on the aristocratic territorial system, but since their full industrialization, wealth has fallen like a downpour, why?" Can their mineral and coal resources be compared to those of the Romanov Kingdom? Looking at the curve of the financial income on the data skyrocketing year by year, the young people were extremely shocked, they knew that the Windsor Kingdom was rich, but they didn't expect the other party to be rich to such a point, and the financial income of last year alone reached a terrifying billion gold pounds.
Ten times more than the Romanov kingdom! At the bottom of the curve chart, Dino also thoughtfully marked the source of income, 70% of which comes from industrial products.
It is impossible for anyone else to know so much about the financial income of the Kingdom of Windsor, but Mavi once served in the Royal Navy and knew many nobles, such as the Crowley family, who worked in the Ministry of Finance, and in addition... Dino is also related to Wangdu, and has met many big figures in high society, and it is not a problem to ask a few words on the side.
They knew how rich the Kingdom of Windsor was.
"By now you should understand how much benefit industrialization can bring, right?" Ma Wei said without saltiness: "The warships used by the Royal Navy cost hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, and when you stand still and don't want to make progress, they will already make a lot of money." Someone swallowed his saliva, and his voice trembled a little: "The Romanov kingdom has far more resources than them, if we start industrialization, will we be able to earn more?" ”
"Unfortunately, no."
"Why?"
"Because they have the most advanced technology, which the Romanov kingdom doesn't have." Ma Wei sneered: "Whether it is a school, scientific research technology or top scientists, everyone throws a few streets of the Romanov Kingdom, when you block knowledge and covet enjoyment, people have already systematically planned for the future, how can a person who lives in the present deserve to have the future?" Ma Wei's words were like a basin of cold water, which made them feel cold in an instant.
They are indeed jealous of the Windsor Kingdom's higher financial income year by year, but there are some money that people can earn, but they can't.
When the reality is in front of them, they finally realize what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. Looking at the curves on the data sheet is really worse than killing them.
"So what we have to do is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it is precisely when Her Royal Highness Katerina sees this that she thinks about abolishing aristocracy and serfdom, so that the Romanov Kingdom can catch the last train of the industrial revolution, so that there is still hope for a turnaround." Ma Wei returned to his seat, looked at the young people who bowed their heads and pondered, and said: "People leak a little profit from between their teeth, and they make more than you make through exploitation and exploitation, I really don't understand why you have to bother with those serfs who can't make much profit." ”
"I support Her Highness Katerina!" Goffman stood up and said loudly: "We, the military nobles, have climbed up step by step from the bottom, and now we have climbed to the ceiling, it is difficult to have any hope of promotion, only by supporting Her Royal Highness Katerina can we go to the next level!" The expressions of the young people are cloudy, thinking quickly about the gains and losses, the decisions they want to make will definitely change the future fate of the family, and only by standing in line can they live.
"If...," the eldest son of Count Ruorus's family raised his head, looked at Ma Wei, and asked in a solemn tone, "What will happen if we don't support Her Highness Katerina?" ”
"Oh," Ma Wei said with a smile, "then I suggest that you buy yourself a cemetery in advance, or choose your favorite street lamp, out of humanitarianism, we will respect your last wishes." ”
"Is this a threat?"
"This is the fate of the wrong choice you made, do you think the enemy is the Church of Truth and Her Highness Katerina?" Ma Wei sneered: "Actually, your real enemy is the thousands of civilians in the Romanov Kingdom, whoever dares to prevent the liberation of the serfs is the biggest enemy of the serfs!" ”
"We have an army in our hands! There are guns and artillery! ”
"The army, also made up of serfs and civilians, Mr. Jorus, the will of the people, the trend of the times, you.... No other way. ”
