Of course, Xia Duo knows that the countries in the North are not really indifferent to the harm that the Illuminati may cause, but the positions of both parties determine that the countries in the North will not put the vast majority of ordinary people first.
consider.
Even if it is a huge disaster, the losses of the superiors are always minimal, or even non-existent, and they can even benefit from it. But for ordinary people, without the ability to deal with disasters, can they just wait to die?
Or are you waiting for the conscience of the superior to find out, and a little attention leaks from the fingers?
Xia Duo couldn't decide what other people thought, but he himself couldn't accept this reality. Why should the fate of the vast majority of ordinary people be left to a handful of powerful people to decide?
He is not opposed to the existence of elites, but he is firmly opposed to elitism. However, in the current era, no matter how many ordinary people there are, they cannot resist the small group of superiors who have mastered advanced magical power.
Only by spreading magic to everyone can ordinary people also have the opportunity to hurt the superiors. When the "god" will bleed, then the "god" will no longer be a god.
When the person in power is likely to be overthrown by the people at the bottom, then the person in power will at least - at least be more restrained and will not be as unscrupulous as in the past. Only at this stage can the illusion be better, otherwise everything will be a castle in the air.
For example, in the current Daxia Territory, the order of Daxia is unprecedentedly beautiful, but isn't it all because Xia Duo, a lord with absolute violence, has forcibly implemented it?
If one day he suddenly becomes unwilling to do this, suddenly wants to establish a dictatorship, and suddenly wants to treat everyone as a hard worker, will his subjects be able to resist?
At least it is impossible to resist now and for quite some time in the future. Only when the people in his territory are able to resist, will the truly civilized era come.
Shado never believed that a group of people who only obeyed orders could create such a developed magical civilization, so he would give his subjects freedom, and this was what he wanted to see from the bottom of his heart.
He himself does not like to be ruled by power, so he will not rule others with power. At the same time, he himself will resist power rule and tyranny, so he will not object to his subjects doing the same, and he also supports everyone to do the same.
.
Because this is not one person's preference, but will create a better environment so that everyone can benefit from it, and this person may be just an ordinary person, or he may be a so-called superior.
Because even a person in power cannot guarantee that he will always be in power. Once he loses power or steps down, he will not be any more valuable than ordinary people. He will also be protected because of such an environment.
The only opponents of such an environment and the order that creates it are probably those who are pure elitists, those who feel they will never lose.
And such people are also Xia Duo's most thorough enemies and the least likely to compromise with them.
…
After returning from Doom, Shado was deeply aware of the current situation in the North and felt that the progress of the popularization of magic could be faster. Currently, there are arrangements for Elan and Everesca in Netheril and abroad.
But these alone are not enough. Most of the population outside Netheril is still in the big countries. Of course, it is unrealistic to start directly from the big countries, so it must be a small country, and the progress of the popularization of magic in small countries must be accelerated.
As long as small countries are willing to popularize magic, do big countries dare not to follow suit?
In Xia Duo's opinion, the current major countries in the North are still in the classical era. Even if they are powerful, they are very limited. Not to mention that both small and large elven countries have inherited the foundation of their ancestors and have not opened up absolute generations in terms of magic.
Difference.
The only difference is the size of the spell casters. A large country has a large population. When the proportion of spell casters is relatively consistent in the classical era, the number of spell casters will naturally be greater, and it will have stronger war potential.
But once magic becomes popular, it is best to use Nese magic that can be used quickly. Small countries may suddenly pull out an army of spellcasters that are not as fast as big countries. At that time, the only thing that can compete is resources.
The resources of a small country are not as good as those of a big country, but they still have enough resources to barely initiate a war, not to mention that many small countries can always gather the wealth to start a war with a big country if they unite.
In fact, this is probably the inevitable choice after small countries popularize magic. If they want to further protect themselves and develop further, where do their resources come from and where do their populations come from? Isn't it that they can only plunder from big countries?
It's just that the big countries at that time may only be huge in size, but no longer powerful in strength.
In this case, a far-sighted big country will either choose to suppress the process of popularizing magic in a small country, or choose to follow up and do it with the scale of a big country. Once it is done, the achievements will far exceed that of the small country. (It cannot be done.
That may lead to internal divisions)
So at the moment, Everesca has not completely relaxed its restrictions on the Magic Society's recruitment of apprentices. It may also be under pressure from major powers, not just the obstruction of internal vested interests, or it may be worried about becoming Netheril's
vassal.
"I guess I can only take the technician route!" Xia Duo sighed in his heart.
Directly teaching magical knowledge can easily arouse public outrage, and even people who might originally support him will stand up against him, but if he takes the mechanic route, a considerable number of people will benefit from it.
Including workshop owners who get technological updates and cheap magic technicians, officials from various countries who can get higher taxes from it, and groups of mages from various countries who can buy more cheap products.
The only ones who may object are the original magic technicians. There is more competition, and the new technicians are quickly trained from ordinary people, and the wages will be lower than them.
It's just that the magic technicians have too little say. Even if they launch a strike and it succeeds, it won't help. The new technicians union will quickly take their place.
In this case, if you want to win the support of these veteran technicians, you may need to continuously explore new markets and provide more employment opportunities, so that they can obtain higher career quotations.
At the same time, in order to successfully sell the products produced and make money, new mages, including technicians, will also be trained more. In this cycle, no one can stop it.
After all, no one will fight against interests.
As for the clever prophets who predicted the decline of these superiors in the new era in the future, it must be false. It must be the remnants of the Illuminati who are destroying the unity within the alliance.
At present, various high-ranking families control a large number of workshops and control the fate of a large number of new mages. They are growing every moment. How can they decline in the future?
This must be a rumor from the remnants of the Illuminati!
With this in mind, Xia Duo still planned multiple investment and factory building plans, and this time he would not put the environment first, but would build new factories in as many places as possible.
