Chapter 124: Settling Down (The Book Is Fat, Please Read It)
The transcendent masters the means of production, they are no longer military combat units, but under the oppression of stronger force, they become the core link of economic production.
Extraordinary power was used in production, which led to the prosperity of various industries, the abundance of materials and the abundance of population in the free city-states.
At this point, the three of them go to the city hall to register their accounts, and Roman and Jos get a copy of the Codex.
Although he had been prepared for a long time, Roman was shocked after the chip was recorded.
The code stipulates that the medical care, education, and pension of the common people in the city-state are free of charge, and the three mountains are removed at once, and all the planned rationing systems are implemented, so as to directly eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor.
If you want to live a better life, you can also go to work for the landlords, who are all working people, protected by labor laws, and get more for more work.
This level of fairness is simply worse than the earth!
And the purpose of all measures to benefit the people is the essence of life.
The transcendent develops production, through transfer payments, to enrich the lives of the common people, improve social welfare, reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, and ultimately increase the willingness to have children.
After there are more people, they will strictly legislate, create a large number of criminals, and sacrifice them to the king in the name of fighting crime!
But the contradiction still exists, that is, the transcendental, the human beings who attribute this great power to themselves, will not be willing to be resigned to this kind of petty profit.
However, the combat power of the king-level is comparable to that of a third-level wizard, and there are only a handful in the entire northern wasteland, so it is really easy to suppress the fugitive wizards.
This creates a closed loop.
After digesting the knowledge in the crystal ball, Roman and Joss were shocked, and Marcus was proud and enjoyed the surprise of the two.
He had a strong institutional self-confidence in the free city-state, always with a sense of superiority.
Roman had to admit that the free city-states were indeed much more civilized than the feudalism and predators of the Academy Alliance, but so what?
A careful comparison, both sides are full of two words - cannibalism!
The difference is just that a wizard eats a man and an Extreme Eater eats a man.
Moreover, Roman, as a sorcerer, has an instinctive rejection of the free city-state out of class interests, and is even more unwilling to sacrifice freedom.
At this time, Marcus invited:
"Brother Roman, you don't want to be strictly restrained like other wizards, do you? If you're not careful, you'll be dragged away as a sacrifice, it's too dangerous..."
"Join the law enforcement team, and these can be avoided."
Roman asked, "Is it really impossible to join as a wizard?" It's a pity that this body cultivation is frozen. ”
Marcus shook his head stiffly: "No, the law enforcement team suppresses wizards, how can you let wizards join?" ”
So, Roman refused: "Since this is the case, I will not join." ”
"Are you sure?" Marcus's voice was a little colder:
"Even if you don't join, you still can't hurt people with witchcraft, and once you find out, for whatever reason, you have to pull it to the living sacrifice."
"Don't think that a wizard can be high, any mortal here can scold you with swear words, you can only scold him, once you do it, you will be sacrificed alive."
Roman shook his head: "Isn't there still a knighthood?" The code says that if you consume the title, you can reduce the penalty, and as long as I exceed the production quota, I won't be able to fight back! ”
In order to give hope to the transcendents, the free city-states established twenty titles, each representing a different degree of freedom and different privileges.
It is based on this that Roman refuses to join the law enforcement team.
But Marcus shook his head: "It's not that easy, maybe you have witchcraft methods, but the production indicators are professionally calculated, and they won't let you complete it easily, don't think about it with this promotion." ”
"There are nearly 10,000 wizards in the free city-state, and there are no more than 100 knights, is it just that you are special and can be easily promoted to a knight?"
But Roman was unmoved, and replied lightly: "I am special, and I can't be judged by ordinary people!" ”
Then he said to the counter: "We become landlords, I run the farm, and as for Josie... You run the workshop! ”
Marcus did not give up, and continued to persuade: "The landlord must be promoted, and more food and handicrafts must be produced, but there is only so much productivity, where do you get more production!" ”
"Don't worry!" Roman smiled confidently and said, "No one knows production better than me!" ”
Marcus gave up persuasion, and finally said: "Okay, you can experience it yourself, you will know how difficult it is, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time!" ”
The registration work went very smoothly, and after a while, the two successfully obtained the title deed.
The land was located outside the city, two wastelands next to each other, and there were no people for miles.
Joss was annoyed and said, "Roman, in this way, production activities are bound to occupy a lot of time, do we still have time to cultivate and become stronger?" ”
Roman said confidently: "Of course, we will have a lot of time as before!" ”
"Moreover, it is not time to cultivate, but resources! As long as we have the resources, we can do more with less! ”
Joss wondered, "How do we get the resources?" If it's a black market, the entrance will definitely be strictly controlled, right? ”
Roman smiled: "So we want to be promoted, as long as we are promoted, we have the right to enter the black market, but what we need to do now is to build the house first." ”
Josie's eyes lit up, and together with Roman, she built the house.
The landlord does not have welfare housing, but to give the homestead, the house needs to be built by himself.
Roman and Joss had never built a house, but as wizards, they had witchcraft and built a house easily, and they could basically do it alone.
The hand of the wizard carries the stones, turns the mud into stones to build the foundation, stacks the masonry according to the design of the chip, pastes the adhesive...
In less than an hour, a small three-story western-style building was constructed, and then the light blade was manipulated to quickly cut down trees and create furniture.
In less than half a day, the two of them got a warm and sturdy single-family villa with a yard, and in the interior, wooden tables, chairs, bed frames, leaf fiber curtains and bedding reveal a simple and natural beauty.
In the afternoon, the two went to take over the land, and with a spell of witchcraft, the land was walled and the possession was announced.
That evening, Joss asked Roman, "Now that the house has been built and has taken root here, what are we going to do in the future?" ”
Roman replied without hesitation: "Strive to be promoted to a second-level wizard within ten years, and for this reason, we must increase the fog degree to more than eighty percent." ”
"At the current rate, it will take at least 50 years to meditate step by step, and you will have to rely on special resources."
"Special resources?" Joss wondered, "Is it like a scarlet vortex?" ”
Roman affirmed: "That's right, I analyzed the principle of the scarlet whirlpool and found that the components that increase the degree of atomization are very similar to a substance called 'essentia crystals'. ”
"In the future, we're going to focus on collecting this material..."
Then, after some exchanges, a set of grand strategies gradually plumped up.
A few days later, Roman stood at the edge of the field and ordered in his heart: "Chip, scan the soil, calculate the cultivation method with the highest yield!" ”
"Ding! The task is established, the analysis begins... Analysis..."
The chip analyzes the soil quality, seed genes, and local climate, and tailors detailed farming steps for Roman.
Down to how to sow seeds, how to fertilize, how to weed... It can be said that as long as you follow the steps, nine out of ten will be able to harvest this year.
But Roman was still not satisfied, and continued in his heart: "Chips, take over the spiritual energy, improve the soil quality, improve the seed genes, and strive to continue to increase the yield!" ”
"Ding! The takeover was successful... Start improving..."
At this time, Joss said, "Roman, the workshop has been built and the production equipment is complete, and now there is a shortage of workers and tenant farmers. ”
Roman waved his hand and said: "We don't use workers, the labor law is disgusting!" ”
Then, with a wave of his hand, he lifted the canvas on the ground, revealing hundreds of wooden golems, covered in intricate runes and fluctuations of sorcery.
Joss was surprised: "With so many wooden puppets, can you control them?" ”
Wooden golems are low-level golems that are not difficult to craft, but few wizards are used due to the lack of computing power in the brain.
The first-level wizard brain has been developed, and it can only control thirty or fifty at most, and if it is a more advanced puppet, it can control a few at most.
In a labor-intensive industry that often employs hundreds of people, this number is really a drop in the bucket.
So they tend to hire more sharecroppers and workers while using puppets.
But Roman has chips, and under super computing power, it is not a problem to control tens of thousands at the same time, so Roman does not need to hire humans and directly replace them with puppets.
The wood comes from the trees, and the runes come from the essence mana, which is almost cost-free labor, and can save a lot of money every year.
Coupled with the improved land and seeds, as well as the next step to improve the production equipment, Roman is confident that they will definitely be able to produce the best yield.
