Downton laughed dryly, "Once the war starts, it will be out of control!"
"Well, I didn't think carefully. How many innocent soldiers will be lost?"
Ctesiphon sighed.
"Sometimes some casualties are unavoidable!"
Di Lanxue is worthy of being in charge of political power. Compared with the soft-hearted Tai Xifeng, she can be more ruthless, because in life, you must constantly put some things on the scale and then choose. Wanting a win-win situation is all naive.
Tai Xifeng lowered his attitude and asked Downton and Di Lanxue for advice humbly like a student. The topics they discussed focused on the economy and people's livelihood, but religion and politics were also involved. However, as the relationship progressed, the conversation became more sexual.
, the topic began to shift towards social reform, ideology...
"I think a happy life is when everyone has food to eat, new clothes to wear, and ultimately everyone is equal. In this way, class must be eliminated, because its existence will inevitably divide people into three, six or nine grades. But if it really
If classes are eliminated, what will happen to hard-working people? They have worked hard and will naturally receive more and better rewards..."
Ctesiphon asked, his eyes full of expectation. This question had been bothering him for a long time.
"Before you consider this issue, solve the gap between rich and poor first!"
Downton curled his lips, feeling that Ctesiphon was not like a prince, but more like a thinker. Besides, as a superior, he should be fooling the people in order to stabilize his rule.
"That's why I suppressed the aristocratic forces and used their wealth to create more value for the people!"
Ctesiphon spread his hands, "So the topic is back to the original path!"
"You are wrong. The gap between rich and poor is not terrible. What is terrible is the unfair gap between rich and poor. And desire, that is, the desire for a better life, is the driving force for the advancement of this society. Haven't you seen that Lombardy
Has a new economic system sprouted up in the Alliance?”
"I know, I heard that many businessmen are clamoring for the abolition of slavery, and abolitionist movements have even broken out in some places!"
Ctesiphon nodded.
"Capitalism?"
Downton subconsciously asked. As the most economically developed empire, Lombardy's industrial and magic technology reserves naturally formed the soil for the germination of capitalism.
"Capital? Well, this term is very appropriate!"
Ctesiphon's eyes lit up, "What do you think? I personally support the abolition of slavery because its production efficiency is too low. Oh, I forgot, you have never engaged in the slave trade and are a staunch reformer!
"
A book called "Das Kapital" popped up in Downton's mind, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Di Lanxue. He found that although the princess was a human, she had no regard for orcs.
Without any discrimination or prejudice, she is also a ruler who desires equality among all races.
"What are they talking about? I don't understand it at all!"
Xiao Hutao turned back and looked at Elaine. She scratched her hair, her little face was full of doubts. She knew each of those words, but when combined, the meaning was unclear.
"I don't know either!"
Elaine sighed, she could only understand roughly.
"The Duke of Downton and His Royal Highness Di Lanxue are indeed worthy of their reputation. Our Highness has visited many wise men. However, they can't have such a smooth conversation with His Highness. They either drive people away in anger, or they give incorrect answers!"
Tutu lamented that Ctesiphon's character was weak, but it did not mean that he was a coward. Even when facing those wise men, he would argue with reason, but today, he actually asked for advice with sincerity...
"It's a pity that Downton is a human, otherwise I would really want to marry him!"
Tutu is sorry.
"Are you kidding me? Princess Sissi didn't even catch her eldest brother!"
Hu Tao glanced at the bunny girl. In her mind, only Di Lanxue's identity and knowledge were worthy of Downton. As for Sissi, the little Loli believed that as long as her elder brother was given enough time, he could also take down Di Lanxue.
Fu turned into a big empire.
"Isn't it okay to just admire it?"
The bunny girl rolled her eyes, "Be careful, I'll steal him tonight!"
Orc girls are like this, they dare to love and hate, they have an unrestrained style, and they even dare to take the men they like and take them home with a machete.
Juliet clenched her fists and bit her lips tightly, her heart full of resentment. She didn't understand those topics. Seeing Di Lanxue answering questions, even Xia Luo would occasionally point out something to the point.
Something, the maid felt so stupid.
"How can I be worthy of Downton with this appearance? How can I compete with them?"
Why did Juliet petition to go to the Free Trade Zone? It was just to study and to match Downton. She originally thought she had done well, but today she discovered that she still had a long way to go. At this moment, she began to resent that feeling.
Her ruthless father and even incompetent mother made her waste so many years...
"What are you thinking about?"
Elaine's sudden question startled Juliet.
"nothing?"
Juliet covered it up, and then listened to the discussions of the principals and watched them look at Downton with completely shocked and admiring eyes. She felt full of admiration in her heart. Only such a Downton is worth following.
.
"What are they talking about? It's so profound!"
"Abolition of slavery? What system is more profitable than slavery?"
"Magic machines replace humans? How is it possible? Isn't human intelligence inferior to machines?"
None of the Downton trio had the habit of clearing the place, nor did they deliberately lower their voices. After all, it was just chatting, so the principals gathered not far away and heard most of the conversation, but many people didn't understand it at all.
"It's amazing. It turns out this is called the power of capital!"
The leader of the Habsburg business group was an elite after all. Based on his experience, he could understand a little bit, so he became even more admired and awed.
"It's definitely not a fluke that Downton has come this far!"
The chief executive sighed.
"Of course. Although I don't understand, I know how powerful he is. Didn't you see that Donovan couldn't get a word in and was scratching his head anxiously?"
Some bosses were so cruel to Donovan that he refused to save him, so they ridiculed him whenever they had the opportunity, but of course they would not dare to do so in front of him.
Donovan was furious. As a noble, he had attended countless high-class banquets. He had a lot of social experience, but he suddenly discovered that the tricks he usually used were ineffective in front of these three people. They didn't care about fashion.
, they don’t care about the hottest gossip about someone big shot that makes women scream...
At first, Donovan could still chat with him for a few words, but as the topic deepened, he couldn't do it anymore, and his mind became a mess. He always thought of himself as an elite, but today, he found that he was a fool...
Just when Donovan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to find an excuse to leave, an eagle appeared in the sky. Its sharp eyes scanned the earth.
"Watch me shoot it down, and treat everyone to roast eagle for lunch!"
Donovan finally found a chance to show off and took out a longbow, but before he could shoot, he was stopped by Ctesiphon.
"That's the Flying Eagle of the Violent Bear Legion. If you don't want to cause trouble, just stop!"
Ctesiphon raised his head and glanced, reminding Donovan.
"I'm afraid of birds!"
Donovan spoke harshly, but made no move, because he saw several orc scouts appearing on the horizon, approaching quickly.
The riding skills of these scouts were quite superb. They were silent and formed an encircling formation to cover up the rapidly galloping horses as if they were on the ground.
"Your Highness!"
The chiefs were scared and asked for help. These scouts had a condensed aura and looked like elites at first sight.
"Why don't you raise the battle flag? If there is a friendly fire, we will be in trouble!"
Downton frowned. He could kill as many orc bandits as he wanted, even if they were disguised as soldiers. But if he really wanted to attack the army, it would be a diplomatic incident.
Taisi Feng smiled bitterly. His identity was not easy to use on the prairie. Even in the territory of Khorasan, his reputation convinced everyone.
Soon, the ground was shaken by the galloping of thousands of horses, and then a yellow battle flag embroidered with a violent giant bear appeared in everyone's sight. The golden color was like the sweetest honey flowing, and it seemed that people could smell it even from a distance.
To that sweet smell.
A thousand bear men riding giant bears on the hills appeared. They were not wearing armor, because their chests were the best barriers. They carried gun pouches on their backs and wheel-axes hung on their waists. There was also a sword across the saddle of the war bear.
A seven-meter-long dragon spear.
Before the bear-men arrived, an explosive aura floated over.
This is the most famous Violent Bear Legion stationed on the southern border. Unruly and unruly are their labels, and blood and glory are their medals.
"Why are these guys here?"
The entire business group was so shocked that they lost their breath and fell into a dead silence.
After the bears arrived, they dispersed spontaneously. Although the cavalry rushed into formation and were most powerful when gathered together, the bears were so brave that they could destroy this caravan of thousands of people with only a hundred people. Therefore, even the formation was different.
Don't show off.
The captain leading the team saw Ctesiphon, but ignored him and stepped aside, shouting loudly, "His Royal Highness Puyol is here!"
A blond lion man rode a male lion out of the crowd. Behind him, there was also a guard, all composed of lion warriors.
"elder brother!"
Taixi Feng rode forward and said hello bravely.
"Don't call me brother!"
Puyol frowned, "Why did you leave the territory again? Remember your identity, don't embarrass the royal family, and retreat!"
"These people are my friends!"
Ctesiphon looked ugly, but he still explained that he hoped Puyol would not embarrass them.
"You don't need to teach me how to deal with them!"
Puyol's eyes widened and he was about to hit Ctesiphon with his riding crop, but when he saw the werewolf knight and the bunny girl immediately grasped their weapons and looked like they were going to fight, he held back and yelled again, "Get away!"
Tutu was furious, but His Highness was too hindered by family ties, otherwise Puyol would not be his opponent.
Puyol looked at Downton and his party, his eyes suddenly lit up, there were so many beauties, and he almost blurted out the order to capture them, but fortunately he still had some sense.
"I guess this is His Highness Di Lanxue?"
Puyol imitated the manner of a gentleman and saluted. As for Downton, he was completely ignored. In his opinion, this man was not qualified enough.
"Hey, are you too arrogant?"
Xiao Hutao is not happy anymore. (To be continued...)
