Transcendent Journey

Mid-January.

Bekele, the capital of Falitis, St. James’s Palace.

Even if there is heavy snow outside, Queen Isabella’s study is warm as spring.

Even if Queen Your Majesty advocates thrift, the warm fire is really irrelevant to a Great Knight. But the female officials who served in the court impossible to make the royal family disrespectful at this point.

At this time, the chattering guests in the Queen’s study obviously want to thank those court ladies who insist on their opinions.

“Mr. Francis, I have no intention of further discussing the issue of human nature with you, a philosopher.

My point of view has not changed: human nature is self-interested Pursuing personal interests is the only driving force for citizens to engage in economic activities.

As long as the state does not excessively intervene in such economic activities, then guided by the price mechanism of the free market, citizens will not only maximize their personal interests , Will further promote the public interest, so that the country will become prosperous and strong.”

“Mr. Kirkkadi, I agree with your view of enriching the people and the country.

But the country is strong The root is still to rely on technological progress. If the kingdom stays in an agricultural society, no matter how good the political Economics theory is, it will be nothing more than an attic.

Furthermore, a completely free market dominated by citizens is not conducive to resources. Coordinating. I think the kingdom should come forward and make a unified plan so that the kingdom without that many rich colonies can be looted can catch up with Sirius as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Francis…”

p>

“Mr. Kirkkady…”

Two hair grey-white middle-aged men are arguing in the Queen’s study, no one can convince anyone, and they sit at their desks The queen Isabella behind did not interrupt, but wrote a sentence on the paper from time to time.

This is a repertoire that will be held every week when inquiring about politics. Although the two Old Misters are arguing, they can also provide the Queen with valuable suggestions and inspiration for the future planning of the kingdom.

The two scholars dress up as Old Mister who seem to be ordinary persons. They are actually consultants in the royal think tank. Their other identities include professors of higher education, philosophers, economicsists, natural scientists, and writers. and many more.

Economicsist Kirk Kadi, chief consultant of the think tank, is also a powerful promoter of private ownership and free economy.

Francis, a philosopher and natural scientist, and second advisor to the think tank, advocated that knowledge and technology are power and a pioneer in the industrialization of steam.

The controversy in the study seems to continue for some time.

dong! dong! dong!

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, but the two people’s voices were slightly paused.

After getting the Queen’s permission, a court lady walked in and asked her respectfully:

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty Livina brought the man, you want to see you now See you?”

“Well, please come in.”

After the female officer took the order out, Queen Isabella put down the quill in her hand and spoke slightly to the two consultants. smiled:

“Two consultants, there happened to be a good youngster who met today. How about listening to his opinions on the future economic development of the kingdom?”

Although the two men are arguing Constantly, but also very self-esteem, not interested in the so-called youngster’s ideas, and red tape is not within the consideration of these two pure scholars.

I stood up and was about to say goodbye to the queen, but Isabella added:

“You didn’t always want to see the “Overlord Disqualification Project” The author? Today…He’s here.”

The two sat back on the chairs at a speed completely different from their age. They saw each other’s movements exactly as they did, and coldly snorted in their noses at the same time. .

……

“Ivan, don’t be nervous, this is just an informal meeting before you get promoted to ceremony.

Talk to Your Majesty a little bit Let’s go back if we’re familiar with a few sentences. Your Majesty will not embarrass you.”

The Crown Prince Livina, who has been promoted to Great Knight, gave a final statement to Ivan behind him, and personally pushed open the door. .

As she said, this is an informal meeting showing closeness, so the meeting place is also selected in the study room.

Ivan dressed in a deep blue military gown, a gilt general commanding knife hanging from his waist, and a golden ribbon and several shiny medals issued by the kingdom on his chest. He walked in and followed the second queen. .

Under normal circumstances, Knight’s sword will not leave his body, but in the king’s front, the saber is a special treatment only enjoyed by the noble nobles and guardian Knights.

Ivan is also in this column.

“Your Majesty, Ivan is here.”

Meeting the eyes in the room.

Slap——

Ivan stood at attention and saluted five steps away from the Queen’s desk.

“Your Majesty, good day! Ivan Garrett is here to see you.”

Even if the mighty power belongs to oneself, no one is qualified to laugh at him until he has the power to break the ruling order Prince.

Of course Ivan did not. After the salute, he bowed his head slightly and glanced at the silhouette behind the desk. The first feeling in his mind was:

‘So young. ‘

Like Livina’s long golden hair, lake-green eyes, fair skin, and looks simply less than thirty years old, Peak transcender’s genes are not weak.

Even after being promoted to Great Knight, Livina, who has already retreated in appearance to about 20 years old, standing next to Isabella makes people think that they are a pair of outstanding sisters.

However, the majestic and profound temperament of Queen Your Majesty makes people absolutely impossible to admit their mistakes.

To Ivan is very gentle:

“General Garrett, please sit down.”

As the guardian of Knight, he is naturally closer than foreign ministers. many. And as a senior military officer who has made great contributions to the kingdom, of course he is also eligible to be given a seat by the Queen.

But unlike the plan, Queen Your Majesty and Ivan did not let him leave after a brief chat. Instead, the topic turned to the two consultants and their respective opinions. Above.

In fact, this is also an issue that Isabella is concerned about. Every decree issued by herself sitting on the throne may determine the future and destiny of this country and countless citizens, so she has to be cautious.

After hearing the focus of the dispute between the two consultants and the choice facing the queen, Ivan already had a secret case in his heart.

“In the development of Future Scripture economy, which market and technology go first? How much should the kingdom intervene in the market?”

If you talk about actual combat, you can’t catch up with these two experiences. Rich Old Mister, but if you want to talk about it on paper…in this world, I have never been afraid of anyone!

So, Ivan straightened up and scanned the slightly smiled people in the study.

The inner monologue is: all back, I’m going to start playing B.

“The steam industrialization led by Mr. Francis must be done, and the free market advocated by Mr. Kirkkadi must also be done. The crux of the problem is how to do it?

In fact, The views of the two consultants are not contradictory to me.

Because the “steam industrial revolution”, which is still in its infancy, is not only a revolution in production technology, but also a revolution in social relations.

With the steady development of the steam industry, I have defined the social process that the kingdom and the entire tulip are about to enter, called the’capitalized economy’.

It has a common premise Two:

One is to have a large number of wage laborers who only have personal freedom but no means of production, such as: farmers who have lost land;

Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people and transformed into capital.

The process of creating these two conditions is the process of capital primordial accumulation!”

When we talked about this, in the study All of them are already sitting involuntarily like elementary school students in class, and the two consultants, a king, and an heir who are insiders are almost shining in their eyes.

In the beginning, I just wanted to hear the opinions of the author of the “Overlord Disqualification Project”. He didn’t expect that he has simply penetrated the still somewhat crude concepts of the two chief consultants and built on top of it. A complete theory that unifies both parties.

No one in the entire kingdom is more aware of the importance of a complete set of guiding thoughts than the few people in the room.

The kingdom’s enclosure movement, colonial plunder, the national debt system implemented in the country, the establishment of banks and joint-stock companies, strict taxation systems, etc., which the kingdom has started two hundred years ago, are not just advancing consciously or unconsciously. Is the process of capital primordial accumulation?

Aren’t the steam engines, production lines, and factories in the steam industry the so-called “capital” that can continuously create wealth?

“A free market economy that can fully mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm, is it good? Of course it’s good…”

Kokkadi’s face just showed a smile, but he listened Ivan’s words suddenly changed:

“However, we have to face a problem.

The establishment of the’capitalized economy’ is a prerequisite for further promoting the’steam industrial revolution’. In the future The victory of the’Steam Industrial Revolution’ will consolidate the capitalized economy, which will inevitably consolidate the economic and…political rights of this class!”

When Ivan said this, the four brows Has been wrinkled at the same time. Kirkkadi, who advocates a completely free market economy, tried to refute several times, but found that the other party’s theory was irrefutable.

If you follow your own ideas, it is indeed very likely to evolve into that situation. While the country is prosperous and strong, do you personally establish a large number of terrifying enemies of a rich and adversary country?

At that time, where did the queen and the noble gentlemen go?

A quietly glanced at the suddenly expressionless queen Your Majesty, and there was a cold war.

“You should understand, what kind of power is represented by a class that holds a large number of production materials and monetary wealth in society?

Even if we control the supreme military force of the country, but They want to make the kingdom turbulent is really simple. It is not impossible to even shake the foundation of ordinary people’s survival and make the country collapse.

Since human nature is self-interested, it is for the benefit of them. Destroying a country and displacing countless people is not completely impossible, right?

Don’t forget the lessons learned from our neighbor Ilia Kingdom!”

Ivan seizes every opportunity to give They instilled their own private goods, and they broke their hearts for the “feudal ruling class” in which they were born.

And his last words, like thunder, made a group of people’s hearts instantly shocked.

Originally, they thought that the key to Ilia’s prosperity and decline was the kingdom guardianship issue, but now with Ivan’s theory as the support, they have seen the essence of it.

That is the emerging bourgeoisie, which controls capital, is seizing power and declaring war on the existing rulers!

Although with the rise of the emerging aristocracy, this situation exists in every country more or less, only because of the lack of Ilia Peak transcendent power, this contradiction erupts particularly tragically.

At the beginning, the queen still had a little record of her thoughts, but soon she could only concentrate on listening to the lecture, and finally her heart was stirred, and even the quill in her hand was inadvertently spilled by the light of Battle Qi. Shattered.

Mumbling in his mouth:

“You can’t let this happen… Never…”

But I heard Ivan like a prophet, He made a vocal announcement:

“Just like the religious reforms that followed the Millennium of Darkness and the Renaissance, the power of the trend is unstoppable.

Even if the power of transcendent is the fundamental In the world, technology that will one day be universal and reproducible will also allow the ordinary world with civilians as the main body to burst out the power that transcenders and even gods have to face.”

.

The queen’s face is already extremely solemn, lifts the head to look at Ivan’s eyes, with a very low posture:

“Qing Garrett, what can you teach me? ?”

“In the upcoming social and economic changes, there is now a floodgate that is in the hands of Your Majesty.

It is to directly release this tiger to hurt others and yourself. Or is it from the very beginning to put on the shackles for its advantages and avoid its disadvantages?”

The four people said in unison:

“Naturally, it is the advantage to avoid the disadvantages.”

p>

With a grin, Mr. Ivan knocked on the blackboard:

“Very well, then let’s talk about the top-level design of macroeconomics.”

.. ….

Two hours have passed, and the sky outside the window is completely dark.

Ivan followed Livina half a step later and walked out of the queen’s study.

At this time.

In addition to the long-determined rank of major general, Ivan also has the title of consultant for the Queen’s think tank. The Queen’s think tank is equivalent to a small cabinet. At the same time that the status is lofty and the influence is huge, there is no need to keep the government affairs involved.

It can be regarded as Peak’s precious position in the kingdom.

The price is a piece of advice given to the kingdom: the state partially intervenes in the economy and rejects full privatization.

In fact, it is an industry that is related to people’s livelihood, national security, and major economic development by the state monopoly. Such as banking, medical care, transportation construction, communications, military industry, coal, shipping and so on.

Then let other industries adopt Kirk Kadi’s free economic concept to fully compete and stimulate market vitality.

In addition, Ivan also agreed with Francis’s point of view.

The greatest wealth of the kingdom at present is actually the “Violet Eye” alchemists who have both military background and wizard capabilities. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and those people are the productive forces in the productive forces.

After listening to a class, the two Old Misters talked to Ivan with bows. That was the scumbag’s look up to the tyrant.

In fact, Ivan also has his own selfish calculations. The development of science and technology industry in any country is from following and imitating to innovation and beyond. Now Falitis’s steam industry process has already walked ahead of all countries in the continent.

The establishment of a complete industrial system from scratch is not something that can be achieved only by the determination of the ruler. The investment of energy, time, wealth, and intelligence are all unimaginable.

The local economic and technological progress will obviously help the rapid development of Mercury Union Trading Company.

creak …creak …

The complex lord walks out of St. James’s Palace like the high-spirited and vigorous Knight.

“It can be seen that your mind should not be much in government affairs.”

“His Royal Highness, human energy is limited, so aspirations are not here.”

The topic ends here.

When I was a trainee Knight, Ivan had to be trembling with fear in front of a viscount.

Now that he is promoted to the third rank, he can also talk about Your Majesty, the queen who can Sovereign countless lives and deaths, and even mix private goods to fight for his own interests.

Just like a bird daring to stay on a branch, what it trusts is not the branch but its own wings. In the world where Weili belongs to him, the strength of the third rank is his strongest confidence.

So, he wants to go farther and farther on this road!
