"Well, Gawain, you are indeed keeping an eye on our money!"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, the economic man took over with a smile.
"Although we will not provide you with excess wealth, don't worry about the annuity, we will never deduct you.
Any heavenly gold we receive, we always divide it into four fixed portions, one for the three armed forces, one for general culture, education and intelligence, one for carrying out various large-scale projects and providing jobs, and the other for
Your annuity.
We must find ways to circulate the collected money back to countries around the world. If we cannot collect it, no matter how much wealth there is in this world, it will come to an end sooner or later.
But if we only carry out various projects, those projects can only provide basic jobs and salaries for ordinary people, and they are far from enough to drive the consumption tendencies of the aristocrats in major franchised countries around the world.
Therefore, although 99% of the Celestial Dragons living in Mariejoia are not as transparent as you and me, their stupidity and extravagance are also valuable for us to use.
Gawain, I don’t know if you have noticed that under our deliberate induction, every Celestial Dragon living in Mary Joy has never had the habit of collecting and accumulating wealth!
They are not like giant dragons, piling Bailey into the treasure room all the time.
On the contrary, every time they accumulate annuity for a few months, they will launch one wave of competitive consumption after another.
It is also their competitive spending that has driven the consumption enthusiasm of the vast majority of royal families and nobles around the world.
In this way, year after year, until the shopping tendency of us Tianlong people has become a popular trend in the minds of the nobles of most of the franchised countries around the world, we can corrupt them while maintaining the basic healthy operation of the world economy.
.
Use the small commodity market to create an economic cycle among ordinary people, and then use the arrogance and luxury of our fellow Tianlong people as a basis to build a luxury goods market among the rich.
In this way, the world can be plundered by us safely for eight hundred years!
Of course, everything will not be as simple as what I said. If we want to explain it in detail, we may have to talk for hundreds of days and months.
We don’t need to talk that much just yet.”
When the economic old man said this, he nodded gently to Gawain.
After listening to the words of the economic old man, Gawain smiled clearly, he could understand what the old man said.
Just like the luxury goods market before Gawain traveled through time, he is not the only one who thinks that many of the things that appear in those markets are just for fools, right?
But if luxury goods are not sold so expensively, if luxury goods are not given a sufficiently high-end positioning.
So where should the rich people in the world go to spend their money?
Let them buy high-quality and low-priced goods like ordinary people to live?
Then they may not be able to spend all their money in dozens of lifetimes.
If they can't spend it all, do you think they will donate the money to the public?
Don't think about it, that's too outrageous, everyone knows it.
Let them spend money on luxury goods, and at least they can collect high luxury transaction taxes, which can be used to supplement cultural, educational, political, and social welfare.
As for letting rich people invest in projects to provide jobs for the society?
Not every rich person likes to struggle, especially those who have suddenly become rich. If they do not have the high-end market and expensive goods to match, then they will become like landlords and rich people who bury silver and small yellow croakers in the cellar.
Hundreds of years!
The same is true in the world of pirates. Gawain certainly knows who the exploiters are in the world of pirates.
A Celestial Dragon like himself is naturally an exploiter at the top level.
But below them, every noble in the world government's participating countries also has the identity of an exploiter and a large amount of wealth derived from exploitation.
Then there are the big pirates, gangs and large corporations from all over the world, as well as the heads of the Four Seas Navy branch who collude with black and white.
There are so many exploiting classes in this world, what if the Tianlong people take all these people to learn Grandet together and hide all the money for viewing.
The economic system of the pirate world should have collapsed long ago.
If you think about it from another perspective, although the pirate world is not a unified world, it even maintains a backward political system of slavery.
But their economic system is even more complete than the Earth before the time travel.
Here, the whole world has only one currency, Bailey!
In some respects, the pirate world has at least completely unified weights and measures.
As for books with the same text, at present, there are only two languages left in the pirate world.
One is a universal language for the whole world, and people all over the world can understand the news in the World Economic News.
The other type is engraved on the historical stone tablet, and is the text used by the huge kingdom and the Kozuki clan.
But now, there are too few people who can read that kind of writing. After the scholars who are proficient in that kind of writing are completely cut off, the World Government will complete the merits of the same text.
Thinking of this, Gao Wen laughed leisurely.
There is very little inheritance left for him in this world.
The unification of books and the unification of weights and measures were both done by the World Government.
Then his future goals are naturally to keep trains on the same track, abolish slavery, and promote the overall progress of the world!
So Gawain cheered up and said to the economic man with a smile on his face.
"It turns out that the lavishness of my kindred can still have this effect. It's interesting. My seniors have really done a lot."
"Haha, don't be so weird, little Gawain.
Even if you don't know the details of those things, you should at least think about it roughly, otherwise your goals will not be so clear, so don't pretend to be in front of us old men.
Let’s get back to the topic, have you finished your three requests, are you sure you have no other ideas?”
"It's gone for now. Even if it is, I don't have to say it outright, right?"
Gawain grinned at the Five Old Stars.
"Look, you always call yourselves old people, so how can I have the nerve to cause you more troubles all at once?"
"Haha, you brat, you really have a bad character.
Since it's okay, let's go quickly, we will have a headache when we see you."
"Well, I'm leaving now, sorry to bother you."
"Don't bother me. You might as well come here often in the future. Chatting with you is much more interesting than arguing with other people. Whether it's Warring States or Sora, they just make a lot of noise and make people upset.
The three generals of this term also have character problems, and each term is really worse than the last.
It was a pity that Garp was unwilling to serve as a general, and Kong Na made numerous requests for Garp to succeed him as commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
That guy is still very interesting, and he does have the qualifications, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to come to see us at all."
The old military man waved his hand towards Gawain while exchanging pleasantries.
"I don't know how long it will take before I can have a good chat with you again. Before you leave, I'll nag you a few more words.
Stability, the most important thing is stability, even if we know that many things are wrong, but when that kind of thing has been maintained for hundreds of years, we can only try our best to continue to maintain it.
Many of us want to make a difference in the world, even when we were young.
But every time it changes, it may not just be a rule, it may become more, and the person sitting in this seat may not be us Tianlong people!
Forget it, it's useless to talk to you so much. Although your personality is similar to ours, you seem to be more determined than us.
In short... you have to decide for yourself."
"I see!"
This time, Gawain's answer was much more solemn.
After responding, Gawain saw all the five old stars looking at him with a smile, so he nodded, then turned and left.
But just when Gawain walked to the door between the rights, the diplomatic old man suddenly spoke again.
"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something!"
Hearing this, Gawain turned to look back, and the diplomatic old man gave him a narrow smile.
"Your fiancée, I was really shocked when I heard about it!
I understand you, after all, that is the mermaid princess, and is most likely to become an important tool for the ancient weapon Poseidon.
But you don’t have to sacrifice so much, right?”
Having said this, the diplomatic old man's eyes gradually revealed a touch of kindness.
"You are still young, so there is no need to take your goals and ambitions too seriously. We still have support from above, so you really don't have to be so anxious.
I would rather you spend more time on the sea, gain knowledge, and at the same time...be kinder to yourself.
Love is like a bowl of fine wine, it tastes best when sipped in small sips. If you drink like this, and the object is a mermaid, even if she is really one of the ancient weapons, she is by no means more important than your youth.
You only get to be young once, you brat."
"I……?!!"
Facing the diplomatic old man, Gawain was really shocked. Is this a topic we should talk about?
I saw him looking at the diplomatic old man with a wry smile.
"This... may not be a sacrifice. I even feel that I have made a lot of money."
"Uh? Ahem! What's your kid's sexual fetish...?!!
Well, hahahaha, we are indeed old!
Brat, next time you come back, bring that little mermaid with you to see us.
