While talking, Ariel's eyes moved to Priest next to her, and she continued to say with a smile——

"Also, there is the issue of light."

"The God of Light has given us half of the light, so we need to pay a price to obtain the other half of the light. You ask me, what price did I pay?"

"I can tell you that I paid almost a thousand gold and a lot of work. I have no intention of disparaging the brave adventurers who faced the Demon-toothed Whale, but I want to say that if we can use

If you want to obtain more lasting light in a safer way, I believe even the God of Light can understand it, right?"

Ariel tried her best to sound gentle in her words, and also followed the words of the archmage and high priest.

But unfortunately, as soon as she blurted out these words, Majik immediately showed a mocking expression and said——

"To put it nicely, hire those unemployed people as workers? How many workers can your factory accommodate? One hundred? One thousand? Or ten thousand? You have to know that the carriage-related industry is a business for more than 100,000 people across the country.

!Is it possible to solve the problem just by saying, 'You can hire them as workers'?"

Ariel still smiled and said very politely: "I will try to hire as many as possible. In addition, it is not just workers who make strange cars, but also sales channels, maintenance of strange cars, and many other jobs...

"

"Huh, Baroness Garcia, I think you really don't understand the seriousness of the matter."

Majik snorted heavily through his nose and said——

"These unemployed people have been doing the same job for their whole lives, maybe even several lives."

"Their grandfathers, fathers, to his generation, and even to his sons and grandsons, all rely on the same kind of work to support their families. Some of these jobs have even become their family's signature!"

"Just like saddles, everyone knows that the Caton family makes the best saddles! Their family started making saddles three hundred years ago and has been doing it till now. In the future, their family will also want to continue making saddles. Caton

Our family’s saddles are without a doubt the best saddles in the world!”

"You're talking lightly. After abolishing their jobs, give them another job? Let's not talk about whether you can give them this job. Just ask why they don't do the traditional and best craftsmanship.

, but you want to learn these new jobs that you don’t know if they are of any use?”

"Besides, the head of the Caton family is now fifty-two years old. Do you want to ask a fifty-two-year-old man to learn something new? Have you never thought that if the old gentleman can't learn it?

What should I do if so?”

To be honest, Ariel suddenly felt that she might be losing.

She had never considered these issues before...really never!

Before that, the only thing she could think of was the huge power that the demon dragon chariot could exert! She intuitively thought that this huge power could destroy all old things like an unstoppable flood.

Then re-establish a new system!

But now that I think about it, it will be completely destroyed by this flood... I am afraid that it is not only the old system, but also the civilians who rely on the old system to survive...

"This... these issues can be considered slowly... everything will develop slowly... everything needs to be done... there is always a price to pay..."

After a long time, Ariel's voice finally showed some unconfidence, and her unconfidence was quickly caught by the magician, who said viciously: "Humph, it will develop slowly? How can you say these words to those who are because of this?"

Go talk to the people who lost their jobs because of your whims. See if those unemployed people who have no money to buy bread, no clothes to wear, or even no shelter are willing to be the 'payment' you say!"

As Majik became more and more excited as he spoke, Priest on the side regained his smile, stretched out his hand to stop the elder of the Magic Association, and said slowly: "Ariel... I am older than you.

How old are you? It shouldn’t be too much to call you by your name, right?”

"I know that you may want to let our empire enter a new era. But now things have proved that many traditional things cannot be easily changed. Once changed, earth-shattering things will happen. Since the battle with the demons

After the war, the people on the Golden Continent have lived like this for thousands of years. Although everyone occasionally has conflicts with each other, generally they are in a very good environment."

"Change is possible, but it cannot be too drastic. Everything must be done slowly, little by little. It is best not to mention something like yours that will lead to the unemployment of a large number of people and the bankruptcy of a large number of industries in the future.

Okay. And your elemental machine, is it called this, right? Now it seems that the elemental machine can really be called a creation of the devil. It may not directly kill us, but it may indeed borrow some kind of

The power of the devil will make your highness's country become riddled with holes, and it may even lead to some of the most terrifying things!"

"So, it's better not to use that elemental machine anymore."

Ariel understood that one of the two people was a good person and the other was a bad person. They talked about it all just to make her give up the elemental machine and the strange car!

But...but...!

Why... Ariel feels that what they said is so reasonable now?

They are right. If the strange cars are really taken out directly, the impact on the horse-drawn carriage industry will be devastating. If Pocket Fire takes off, it will also subvert the ordinary torch and oil lamp making industries.

sexual.

Yes, there will indeed be pain during the reform process.

But now, who can guarantee that the pain caused by this reform will definitely bring about a better new world?

What if by then, the people employed in the entire process of producing and selling strange cars really cannot fill the gap of the people who will lose their jobs because horse-drawn carriages are replaced?

What should we do if there is really a large amount of material shipments, but there is actually not that much commercial activity?

Those families who have relied on whaling for generations are suddenly told that they no longer need whale oil and their income will be completely cut off. What should they do?

so……

Is reform really necessary?

Is it really impossible to maintain the current situation...?

Nowadays, in the entire Golden Continent, I am afraid that only the Blue Bay Empire has the product of elemental machines. If other empires do not have them, is there no need to be so eager to destroy everything in the past?

And more importantly...

Now, he has been promoted from a servant to a noble.

From today on, I will also be a vested interest in this traditional system.

In this case, can I really promote the element machine?

……Is necessary.

What are you still hesitating about now? Do you still have any illusions about these people who symbolize traditional conservative forces at this point? Even if what they say is reasonable, it is to protect their interests.

Starting from angle.

Didn't the teacher say that? In order to protect their own interests, the nobles will not mind at all if everyone lives in the cave. As long as the noble's own cave is the best of all caves.

"Jin Guo, what do you think?"

While Ariel was thinking, Meng Lang finally spoke and looked at Duke Jinguo.

The Duke also looked embarrassed now. After thinking for a while, he said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the power of the strange car is indeed novel, but it is not novel enough to allow our country to bear such heavy losses. At best,

It can just transport more goods. We already have a large number of drivers and carriages, and they can transport so much goods. In my opinion, there is really no need. Then there is the matter of pocket fire... I

I also think that as a novel gadget, it would be good for His Highness to stay with him and play with it."

Seeing that Duke Jinguo was now on the side of the association and the Holy See, Menglang finally nodded and sighed. Then, he opened his mouth——

"Your Highness, may I say a few words?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly broke in.

Meng Lang's mouth hadn't fully opened yet, and Jin Guo, Majik and Priest on the side hadn't even thought about where the sound came from.

However, Ariel saw it clearly.

That voice came from the man who had been sitting on the small sofa since just now...it came from the mouth of her teacher, Connor Conservative.

Meng Lang looked at the school teacher, looking a little bored. But out of respect for Old Teng Shu, he still nodded and said, "What do you think? Let's talk about it."

Connor nodded and stood up from the sofa with a smile. He turned his head slightly, glanced at Ariel over there with the corner of his eye, and said slowly——

"I completely agree with the remarks of the Grand Elder and the High Priest just now. There is no doubt that if strange cars and pocket fire are really allowed to flow into ordinary citizens, it will inevitably lead to a large wave of unemployment and will also have a negative impact on existing industries.

Cause a lot of shock. It would be a very scary thing."

Ariel frowned and looked at her teacher, wondering what he wanted to say.

"As an economics teacher, although I don't have any specific data, I can judge from the general economic principles that the inferences just made are not alarmist. Therefore, Baroness Garcia requested that the strange car and the
Chapter completed!
