Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Logically speaking, he had thoroughly investigated the entire incident. The problem was very clear, and the answer seemed quite simple: as long as the issue of workers being replaced by machines, losing their jobs, and being unable to live normal lives was resolved, everything would be easily solved.

The problem now is that any feasible method he can think of goes against his principle of fairness.

Chapter 155 You guys seem to be going a bit too extreme.

It's not wrong for businessmen to want to use more advanced production tools and pursue greater profits.

The workers don't want to be replaced, don't want to lose their jobs, and leave in despair. They are pursuing a better life, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Even though a small number of people are acting excessively, most are just protesting, which does not violate Fontaine's laws. It's just that there are so many protesters that the place is so lively now.

But... none of them are wrong, so how did things turn out like this?

Navelette was once again lost in confusion.

He deeply felt that his understanding of human society was still not deep enough.

In short, Fontaine's existing laws are insufficient to solve the current problems; new laws or regulations must be formulated to properly address this issue.

However, no matter what solution he devises, it will always harm the interests of one party.

If he stipulates that businessmen must use human employees and prohibits or restricts the use of robots, then he is harming the interests of businessmen.

This is a right that prohibits businessmen from using emerging tools to pursue profits.

This new tool is not like any contraband that would cause great harm to people. On the contrary, it should bring a lot of benefits. It is just a tool, like a hoe or a hammer, only more advanced.

What logic is there in restricting the use of hoes or hammers? Fontaine has many bizarre laws, but there has never been such a precedent.

This is unfair to businessmen.

However, its existence does indeed conflict with the existence of humankind.

If the right of businessmen to use robots is protected, then what will become of the people of Fontainebleau?

People should have the right to pursue wealth through hard work and a better life. This right is inherent to all human beings. However, the large-scale use of robots will render most people "useless," and their pursuit will be completely shattered.

This deprives most people of the desire to pursue a better life and progress, and locks away this possibility.

This is unfair to most people.

Is it still fair and just if we abandon the principles of fairness and justice for the majority?

Not to mention, how will Fontaine's society function when most people become useless?

Are they relying on a few merchants and nobles to bring robots?

So, is Fontaine a human Fontaine or a machine Fontaine?

Moreover, how will those "useless people" survive without jobs and income?

Are they all going to farm?

Wouldn't that be a step back to the era hundreds or even thousands of years ago, when the people of Fontainebleau relied on the land and were self-sufficient?

The material abundance brought about by the use of robots seems to have nothing to do with them; on the contrary, their material lives will become even more impoverished as a result.

Do we rely on charity?

Those are all the data of those merchants and nobles, all their machines, all their property. It's fine for them to occasionally show kindness, but how could they give alms to everyone in the long run?

Even charity doesn't do this.

Are they relying on the Mo Mang Palace for relief?

Where did Mo Mang Palace get so much money? Isn't this just going back to relying on charity again?

Navelette realized that this was a completely different scene from when machinery was put into use hundreds of years ago.

Now... it seems we've reached a critical point where there's no room for reconciliation.

No matter what he does, it's wrong.

How to do?

Navelette pondered this question repeatedly.

He habitually chose to selectively ignore Funina, who was chattering and jumping around beside him.

After much thought, Navelette realized that, in her understanding, there was no way to achieve the best of both worlds.

He had already consulted the Academy of Sciences, and their advice was very much in the style of these scientific fanatics.

They suggested simply replacing these unruly protesters with robots to teach them a lesson, which would accelerate the application of robots.

Navilette: "..."

You guys seem to be going a bit too far.

Why not ask where these robots originated, and how the Inatsumi people deal with these problems?

“Sedna”.

Waving to Funina to be quiet, Navelette summoned Melusin from outside the door.

"Lord Vilette, is there anything you need?"

Upon seeing the adorable Sedna, a slight smile finally appeared on Villette's tense face.

"Get ready, we're going to contact that team from Inazuma Umijima. I have some questions to ask them."

"Well……"

Sedna fell into thought upon hearing this.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Lord Vilette, given the current situation outside, if you go out, I'm afraid you'll be surrounded and unable to leave."

"This……"

Navilette fell silent.

That seems to be true.

"In that case, it seems I'll have to trouble you to invite them over."

"No problem, Lord Vilette, I'll take care of it right away!"

"Yes, things are a bit turbulent outside right now, so please be careful."

"Do not worry!"

Watching Sedna skip away, Navelette turned to comfort Frynn.

As soon as Sedna stepped outside, she saw a huge crowd of people outside the Mo Mang Palace.

At the entrance, there were tense, highly alert security personnel and members of the Shadow Chasing Court.

"Miss Sedna, what brings you out?"

The captain of the security team stepped forward to inquire.

"Lord Vilette asked me to find some people to consult on some matters."

Before the garrison captain could reply, the crowd gathered nearby began to stir.

"It's Miss Sedna. She's Lord Villette's personal assistant. She must be here on Lord Villette's behalf to give this answer!"

"what?"

Sedna stared wide-eyed at the gathered crowd with a blank expression.

When did she say that?

"Police, stop them! Everyone calm down! Please calm down! Please back up! Back up!"

As the crowd began to approach, the guards immediately went on high alert. Under the command of their captain, they formed a tight circle to stop the crowd from advancing and to protect little Sedna within it.

Fortunately, both sides were very restrained; they were just pushing and shoving each other, but hadn't started fighting yet.

"Everyone, please calm down! Lord Navelette is working hard to find a solution, and I am here on her behalf to make contact. If you want an answer, you should let me leave Momo Palace as soon as possible to complete my mission!"

In the chaos, the guard captain picked up Sedna and lifted her above his head so that everyone could see her. Sedna shouted at the crowd with all her might.

Unfortunately, her voice couldn't drown out the crowd.

Seeing that communication was ineffective, the garrison captain hurriedly sent someone into the Mo Mang Palace to seek reinforcements.

"quiet!"

Inside the Mo Mang Palace, the solemn and dignified voice of Vilett came from within.

For some reason, even though the sound wasn't loud, the sound of the scepter striking the ground and the shout of "Silence!" seemed to resonate in everyone's hearts and ears, and everyone present heard it clearly.

The restless crowd began to calm down, looking at each other.

The scene became very quiet for a moment.

Chapter 156 Thank you for your hard work, Funina

"crunch~"

The gates of Mo Mang Palace slowly opened.

People looked expectantly at the slowly opening door.

However, it wasn't Navelette who appeared behind the door.

"Ahem, my loyal subjects! I, the water goddess Fucarus, fully understand your worries. Do not fret, do not panic, I, Funina, will surely solve your problems!"

Standing on the small platform, holding a megaphone high, Fulina gesticulated wildly, conveying her confidence and determination to the people in an exaggerated manner.

"..."

For a moment, many people lowered their heads slightly.

People were somewhat disappointed that Navelette did not show up.

After all, they all believed in their hearts that Vilette was the true supreme ruler of Fontaine, the Water God, after all...

Although it was very approachable and the performance was excellent, I still felt it was difficult to give a proper evaluation.

In matters like this, they still felt that the mature, steady, fair, and just Navelette would be more reliable.
