but.

After finally reaching a cooperation, Ivan also gave the Marquis a kind reminder for the future of the company and his own interests.

Because in this era that is no longer based on agriculture, whether a kingdom or a noble fiefdom wants to develop, it is indispensable to attract capital to invest in various industries, and then use chickens to lay eggs to achieve its own take-off.

Therefore, we must take the story of the Kingdom of Ilia as a warning and take measures in advance to avoid the rebellious seizure of power by big businessmen who hold a lot of wealth, or more accurately, the capitalists!

At present, in order to form a capitalist with extraordinary influence, two conditions are needed, and Yuan Sail Ling has both of them, or is about to have them.

One is that there must be a large number of wage laborers who only have personal freedom but no means of production, such as landless farmers. On the premise that all land in the Yuanfan Territory belongs to the marquis, all free people except slaves belong to this group.

The second is to concentrate a large amount of production means and monetary wealth into the hands of a few people and convert it into capital (principal or property used for investment to obtain profits, which is the general term for various social and economic resources for human beings to create material and spiritual wealth).

The process of creating these two conditions is the process of primitive accumulation of capital, and it is also what the Kingdom and Yuanfan Leader are currently doing with all their strength.

In the previous agricultural era, limited by the total size of the land, it was difficult to reinvest the output into the industry and turn it into capital to "use money to make money".

The steam engine has achieved a leap in productivity and can create wealth with unprecedented efficiency. And the output is continuously converted into new capital (more steam engines, production lines, factories), thereby creating more value. This is what economics means.

"Compound Interest".

The saying "the economic base determines the superstructure" is not wrong at least in the material world.

Capitalists with huge wealth will inevitably demand equal political power. This is human nature and does not depend on personal will.

Who should we ask for this power? Of course, it is the current ruling class.

The power of wealth is reflected in the corrosion, desire and control of power, which is difficult to guard against.

However, although the capitalists are powerful, it is the international bankers who are even stronger.

Manipulating huge capital can even determine the rise or fall of a country. Even now when industrialization has just started, there are already faint signs of this.

A typical representative among them is the Dutch Banking Group.

Bankers establish banks, then absorb public deposits and pay interest on them, then earn profits by investing in industries, and then distribute the profits to the accounts of the depositing public.

The process of investment has allowed bankers to unknowingly penetrate into multiple industries.

Bankers and capitalists are interdependent. In the current economic and political system, it is easy to gain huge and profound influence, and even threaten the lifeline of the country and compete with the real people in power.

Even in the extraordinary world, the kingdom and the church strictly control the peak force, as long as there is no problem with this, they cannot overturn the existing ruling structure.

But it can substantially affect the direction of this material world!

Because they are different from the superior extraordinary beings, these talents truly represent the ideas and interests of mortals with ordinary people's thinking, and gather the power of tens of millions of people to challenge the extraordinary beings.

From "Katalov's Death Portrait", Alvin has learned that there is something called "the trend of the world", and even the supreme true god has to make concessions.

Grasping the context of the world, at least the secular world, Ivan certainly knows that the improvement of productivity and the industrial revolution must also be one of the world's trends, and no one can resist it.

But as a member of the vested interests of the existing rights system, Ivan must of course take precautions at this early stage of capital, lest he be exploited by some smart people and become the de facto master of this country.

Regardless of the education he received in his previous life or his inherent class attributes in this life, Ivan has no good impression of them.

Capital, which is naturally profit-seeking, may be more cannibalistic than a feudal king. It must be reined in at the beginning of its birth to avoid becoming a monster that devours the world.

You can't stop it, but you can guide it!

Ivan also proposed a solution: comprehensive private ownership must not be implemented, especially in areas involving people's livelihood.

Although the Marquis and his staff seemed to understand it temporarily, it didn't matter. Her Royal Highness Crown Prince Levina, who was far away in the country, didn't quite understand either.

There will be a long time to come, and Aiwen will help them understand the benefits of this top-level design.

Hua Hua Hua...

Alvin's sailboat rode the wind and waves and slowly sailed away from Yuansha Port.

The only regret is...

Although a significant business cooperation project was reached, Alvin failed to meet Olivia, the Elmore family member, who may also have the "blood of an adventurer" until he boarded the sailboat returning home today.

Miss.

He also couldn't confirm whether she was his "same kind".

As for getting along with Marquis Yuanfan, Ivan didn't feel anything unusual about him at all.

In fact, he didn't know how other families who may also have the "blood of adventurers" behave in daily life...

But it's not without gain.

After meeting the Marquise today who is a powerful wizard and is proficient in gem witchcraft.

With that inexplicable sense of familiarity, Alvin instantly thought of an important piece of information he had analyzed previously.

The luminous girl may live in a time zone near her in real life, and she is obviously also proficient in gem witchcraft!

"Could it be that Miss Moonstone, who has obviously just become an official wizard, is the Olivia I have never been able to see?"

There was a vague guess in my mind.

...

A few hours later.

Alvin, who had finished changing his clothes, had returned to Hatrafa Port, which was not far from the Far Sail Leader.

At this time, the most valuable slave among the spoils of war had been turned into shares of the "Mercury United Trading Company" by him.

This is his own property. Of course, he cannot share it with his subordinates and let them become shareholders of the company one by one. Instead, he becomes their wage earner.

He planned to use his own small treasury to compensate his men for their share of the golden lions and make up for the shortfall in this transaction.

Alvin's cash flow is quite abundant, and he can still afford this amount of money.

in addition.

Although the previous disposal of combat supplies and base defense work have been basically completed.

But Alvin still has one important thing that he needs to do here, and he can only do it on his own territory.

"Cinaro, Paka, have you two made a decision?"

In his laboratory, Ivan, who had changed his robes, asked the two Arawak guides Zinaro and Paka who first joined the pirate group.

When they were driven out of their homeland by the Silius ten years ago, the Arawak tribe's killer whale totem pole was cut down, and the clan's shamans were also destroyed.

It can be said that the spiritual and religious roots of this tribe had been severed at that time.

As a result, Cinaro and the others, who had not yet obtained the totem mark at the age of fourteen, had to practice the Sisi scimitar technique popular among pirates.

After such a long time, although the young people who grew up in the Arawak clan still maintained their animistic beliefs, they actually did not have a strong attachment to the original killer whale totem.

Only the belief of revenge for their ancestors supports them, otherwise they would not learn the "Sisi scimitar technique" from the civilized world.

It would be the best outcome if the Arawak clan can still remain independent and the fire can continue.

So Ivan just briefly mentioned to them the concept of the "Tree of Life" that created all things, and Chinaro and Paka accepted it readily, and were even a little eager to try it.

Because they interpret and understand the "Tree of Life" based on their own indigenous animistic worldview.

It is believed that the concept of "Tree of Life" includes all natural spirits, and is closer to the New World than the three main gods believed in by the three great empires of the New World: Quetzalcoatl God Kukulkan, Sun God Inti, and High God Omed Kutli.

The spiritual origin of.

"Sir, please give us this power. The reason why the Arawak clan still exists is to take revenge on the Cyrus people on behalf of our ancestors!

The power we can obtain from you from the ‘natural spirit’ is the guidance of our ancestors.”

The two of them knelt down on one knee, their faces full of perseverance and sanctity.

Previously, with the help of "data-based vision", Aiwen has perfected the totem engraving system, such as the corresponding main human body parts, functional divisions, meridian system, stress response, etc. during engraving.

And the magical fundamental runes represented by different natural spirits, and finally integrated.

With the constitution rune "cons" and the balance rune "libr" as the backbone, the agility rune "mobi" and the strength rune "impe" as the branches, and finally through the subsequent excavation of Poseidia city in the spiritual world.

The three-eyed man's thunder rune "mea" undergoes final integration.

Hidden on a "Tree of Life Totem" all over the body, a new profession of "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" was created.

The "Tree of Life" totem of the "Activation School" is used to replace the mysterious direction of natural spirits. The myths and legends of the creation of all things and the knowledge accumulation of countless years of wizards give it a corresponding concept.

However, this is not only a totem engraving, but also a prerequisite for practicing [Emerging Thunder Sword Technique].

Because each core rune engraving is also responsible for some additional work, assisting the extraordinary person to transform the electric light of the life magnetic field into the body's instinct.

actually.

Before deciding to engrave the two of them, Alvin had already found other "volunteers" to conduct the "Original Totem Warrior Re-engraving Experiment", "Single Rune Access to the Tree of Life System Experiment", "Multi-rune Tree of Life Compliance"

Experiment", "Electro-optical Imprinting Conversion Experiment"....

The ones used were all specially captured by William "Iron Bone", a notorious pirate gang that pursues killing everyone and robbing everyone, just like a madman.

Some of them succeeded, while others were directly twisted into terrifying monsters.

However, after the experiment, without exception, Ivan destroyed them directly.

Moreover, after each corresponding ceremony is held, the tree of life, which is the mysterious source, will instinctively make certain corrections to the runes collected by Ivan, making it more and more consistent with the system of the mysterious source of the "tree of life".

After the transformation plan was completely matured in the past two days and the possibility of death, disability, and loss of control had been eliminated, this was the first time that Alvin conducted experiments on his own people.

Even if the strength growth of this profession fails to meet expectations, it does not prevent them from continuing to follow the orthodox path of knights.

Seeing their actions, Aiwen no longer hesitated, took out a bottle of Biyingying's magic potion, and said to them:

"Okay! I have seen your determination. Chinaro comes first and drinks the medicine!"
Chapter completed!
