Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 43:

"What do you think of this matter?" Sui Xiong explained the cause and effect of the incident, frowning and said, "Don't blame me for talking too much, you should give your believers a unified mind. We don't pursue any top and bottom. Together, it’s not surprising that there are factions inside, but you can’t cause the two factions to join forces!"

Mannis, the goddess of wealth, who was always confident in the past, seemed a little lacking in confidence at this moment. He was silent for a long time before he sighed deeply and still said nothing.

"What's the matter with you?" Sui Xiong was puzzled. "Isn't it all right a while ago?"

"At that time, I still felt that I could suppress this matter." The goddess of wealth finally spoke, her voice full of bitterness, "Now I find that I can't suppress it. Not only can't it, but also …A big deal will happen."

Sui Xiong was surprised. Although he had some expectations for the severity of the situation, he never thought it was so serious that the goddess of wealth was at a loss.

"How could this be? Could it be that you can't even control the church?" he asked worriedly.

"The church can still be controlled, but now...the only thing I can control is the church." The goddess of wealth sighed and looked very tired, "The nobles and the merchants have already become riots. Although the church is still trying its best to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides, it seems that it cannot be suppressed this time."

"What happens if you can't hold it down? Really will there be a civil war?"

"It should be." The goddess of wealth gave a wry smile and said, "I have understood in detail. There is really no way to mediate between the aristocratic faction and the merchant faction this time."

"Why?"

"Probably because of the'flow process'." Goddess of Wealth said, "The flow process method can greatly reduce the time for training workers, and it can disassemble the originally complicated process and greatly increase the content that can be produced. The merchant faction is currently promoting this production process in an all-round way, so more manpower is needed. But they don’t have enough workers on hand and must recruit..."

Sui Xiong understands.

For civilians, although the skills that can be learned through flow operations are very limited, the salary of the workshop is obviously higher than the income from farming-mainly because the nobles collect too much tax, and the farming is not enough to support their families. . In contrast, the workmanship can at least fill an old snack.

The world has not yet entered the era of the so-called "blood and dirty things" in the industrial revolution. Although the wages in the workshops are not high, they are at least much higher than farming...at least in the Gold Coin Federation.

In this case, it is naturally not difficult for businessmen to recruit workers.

However, this ran into a problem.

Of the civilians in this world, most of them are not "free people". As subjects of the lord, they do not have the right to freely accept employment.

And the lords, will they allow a large amount of labor in their territory to become workers?

Sui Xiong recalled for a while, thinking of Geertengling.

Geertenling was once a region whose main income was agriculture, but it is now a world-famous producer of stationery and medicinal materials. How does Orion Geerten deploy human resources?

So he contacted Orion and asked about it.

"Of course it is to put down the farming." Orion replied, "For food or something, just buy it."

Sui Xiong nodded, which is similar to his guess.

But obviously, most lords of the Gold Coin Federation cannot accept this kind of thing, because those workshops do not belong to them, but belong to the merchant faction.

"If the merchants let the lord invest in the workshop, will it work?" Thinking of this, he made a suggestion.

The goddess of wealth shook his head: "This is impossible. Behind the workshop is technology, and technology is the foundation for the survival of the workshop owners. Even if the lords claim that they only buy shares and do not participate in business, they cannot Give up the equity of the workshop."

"In fact...In order to avoid the risk of technology leakage, most of the more capitalized workshop owners would not hire local workers, and would rather increase the money to hire foreign workers, in order to prevent the lord from having a reason to intervene ."

Sui Xiong was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised.

After being surprised, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The rulership of this world is much stronger than that of the earth, and the merchants of this world are also much stronger than that of the earth. If strong forces work together, it will naturally produce an effect of one plus one greater than two, but now it is strong Strong collision, everyone will not give in to each other.

If the workers are hired away, it will hinder the production of the territory and harm the interests of the lord. But businessmen, especially big business people, urgently need a large number of workers to produce, and at the same time they are unwilling to give up the profits of the workshops.

If it were on the earth, the two parties could probably unite and squeeze the workers to death to achieve a compromise in interests. But in this world, there are good gods behind the civilians. Although they are not usually in charge, if there is a joint squeeze of the workers by the lords and businessmen, they will be frantically squeezing the last bit of profit. I am afraid that the paladins will roar in a few days. He came to hit the door.

In this case, it is not surprising that the conflict between the noble lords and the workshop merchants will intensify.

"Can't you let the merchants step back a little bit?" Sui Xiong thought for a while, and said, "You can't make money. It's okay to make less."

"The merchants have always made concessions." The goddess of wealth sighed and said.

Sui Xiong is speechless~IndoMTL.com~ It can be seen that the Merchants have endured for a long time, and now they are really intolerable.

The so-called "breaking people's wealth is like killing their parents" and "as long as there is a 300% profit, the capitalists are not afraid to even go to the gallows." Merchants can bear it until now, and it is all about wealth The face of the goddess. Now they finally couldn't help but explode, the face of the goddess of wealth was naturally not good anymore.

What's more, once the merchants have made a decision to tear their faces with the noble lords, the goddess of wealth should be on their side.

In any case, business talents are the core believers of the goddess of wealth.

Sui Xiong thought for a while, then asked about it.

"I really... don't know what to do." The goddess of wealth shook her head with a wry smile, "The merchant group is certainly my core believer, but most of the nobles of the Gold Coin Federation have also been my believers for generations. !"

"Now my priests are also very worried. Some of them came from aristocratic families, and some came from merchant families. The pressure from the family makes them uncomfortable... Now, when we are talking, Hundreds of priests are praying to me, asking me to resolve the contradiction between the two factions and restore peace to the Union of Gold Coins."

Sui Xiong looked at the bitter face of the goddess of wealth, and couldn't help sighing.

Obviously, He can't do it.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help asking: “By the way, the flow method, I remember it should have been invented by me. I didn’t let people expand their business to the gold coin federation. What about this technology? Will it be passed on?"

The goddess of wealth suddenly showed an awkward look, embarrassed that she had done a bad thing and was caught on the spot.

So Sui Xiong understood.

Looking at the appearance of the goddess of wealth, he remembered a famous saying in his heart.

Heaven’s sins are forgiven, and you cannot live for sins!
