I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

Recently, I often read the social status and historical documents about the dragon people and the elves, and I probably understand that the two ancient empires, the dragon people and the elves, are essentially facing a bottleneck.

I have confirmed many times that, except for the demihumans with very little information, the social structures of almost all countries in this world belong to the most basic tower structure.From top to bottom, it can be simply divided into three classes: nobles, commoners, and slaves.Slaves are special products and do not play a decisive role, so let's not talk about them for now.Just talking about the relationship between nobles and commoners, so far, all I can see is the most primitive slavery and exploitation.

Maybe it's not that the nobles are ignorant. They don't know that in essence, common people are the root of the nobles.It should be that the nobles selectively ignore this.

Of course, this is not the point.What I want to say is that once there are no commoners, there will be no nobles, and without the nobles, it will have no effect. "

Gradually getting used to Nangong Xiao's tone with almost no ups and downs, and after listening carefully, both Princess Chang Xi and Lilia gradually became serious.

Princess Chang Xi made the tea herself, and at the same time said lightly, "Qing...Ah Xiao, I understand the nature of the relationship between nobles and commoners you mentioned, but it is almost impossible to change this point. I must remind you , the nobility basically does not have the awareness of selfless dedication.

I don't know exactly what you've been through before, but this kind of rhetoric is dangerous. "

"I know that when I say this, I don't want to overthrow the aristocratic rule. That kind of drastic social change is meaningless to me now. What's more, I am an aristocrat with vested interests. I am not stupid to self-destruct.

The reason why I say this is just to clarify the importance of common people to our nobles.I also hope that you can understand that the living conditions of the nobles are very fragile in some senses. No matter how noble and sacred the nobles claim to be, in fact, there is only the unilateral possibility of the common people abandoning the nobles, and there is no possibility of the nobles abandoning the common people. "

After hearing Nangong Xiao's words, Princess Chang Xi and Lilia were silent for a while, but they had to agree that Nangong Xiao was right.

Without the civilians, is the nobleman still aristocratic?

And without the nobles, the commoners are still commoners, or in other words, without the current group of nobles, new nobles will be born from the commoners.

Nobles are not born, nor are they exclusive to a certain person or a certain surname. Nobles are just some rulers who can be replaced at any time.

This is a root problem.

Looking at the reactions of the two women, Nangong Xiao felt that the heat was almost ready, so he continued, "Now, whether it is a dragon or an elf, from the information I have learned, they are all in an expanding circle of nobles, while the civilian population It is also increasing rapidly, but the benefits that the common people can generate are growing extremely slowly. The increase in the interests of the common people is seriously not proportional to the speed of the increase of the nobles. Otherwise it's not enough.

If this situation continues, the circle of aristocrats, even if it does not collapse, will be severely damaged, and the root cause is created by the aristocrats themselves.

These are conclusions that have been confirmed by history.

Whether it is you dragon people or elves, there are similar records in the historical documents, but the recording methods and expressions are different. "

Personally filling Nangong Xiao's teacup with tea, Princess Changxi said intently, "Historical... wars... I understand. Indeed, historical wars, removing some superficial emotional factors, are essentially The ultimate means chosen by the nobles for their own interests. Based on what you said earlier, A Xiao, that is, the benefits provided by the common people to the nobles cannot keep up with the growth of the noble circle in terms of weight and speed.

Really... Once a critical point is reached, the nobles will start the final method again for the sake of their own interests, which is to use force to reduce the number of benefit distributors, so as to achieve a new round of stability. Heh, once it settles down, the population of the nobles will increase again. Once the benefits generated by the commoners cannot keep up with the speed of the increase of the nobles, it will be a new round of cycle.Indeed, this is the conclusion given by history. "

Chapter 193 Negotiation?

"clever."

Nangong Xiao applauded, "That's why I said that now both the dragon people and the elves are facing a bottleneck, and this bottleneck is that the existing methods of the two races cannot improve the efficiency of civilian output benefits, which has caused the entire society to fall into a dangerous situation." in a vicious circle."

"You mean..." Princess Chang Xi's beautiful eyes widened.

Nangong Xiao said lightly, "Yes, I want to say that the exploitation methods of the nobles are too rough and ugly, not only lacking the elegance of the nobles, but also almost inefficient, it is simply embarrassing the nobles.

But me, my Dawn City has the key to improving the efficiency of civilian interests.

This is my capital, and it is also the basis for my subsequent negotiations. "

Negotiations... By the way, when did the fiancé meeting become a negotiation scene?

Not to mention that the corners of Princess Chang Xi and Lilia's mouths twitched slightly, even the other people who 'eavesdropped' had speechless expressions on their faces.

However, at this moment, some people understood what Nangong Xiao was up to.

On the mahjong table, although Nangong Wentian and the others stopped chatting, they did not stop shuffling the cards. At the same time, they communicated secretly through special sound transmission skills.

Antulu: [Qiantian, your kid is secretly changing concepts. 】

Lyle: 【That's right, I also heard that this kid doesn't want to use radical means to make changes in this world, so he adopts this method of internal reform. He intends to reshape the definition of the noble class. Although it is crazy, it is feasible. method, and it is less bloody than directly making reforms. 】

Alan Dass: [Yes, and in essence, no matter what era it is, the class of 'nobility' will always exist, at most it is called differently.

This is the nature of humanoid creatures, a natural rule, and unless the selfish nature that must exist in humanoid creatures is annihilated, this point cannot be changed absolutely.And once the selfish desires of humanoid creatures can really be annihilated, the civilization of all humanoid creatures will also come to an end.

Wentian, your kid's idea is good, but, will you underestimate the ruler of this world too much?What's more, the water in this world is very deep. Can he and the members of that group, as well as the possible mysterious behind-the-scenes people, really withstand it? 】

Nangong Wentian: [I'm not sure about this... But, aren't there still us 'reasonable' old guys watching?Although we don't want to be the pioneers of the reform, we can't do it, but we can help.More importantly, we have all seen enough of the vicious circle of historical changes, now we have the opportunity to see a different future, and even the possibility of going out, isn’t this enough for us to try it? 】

Following Nangong Wentian's voice transmission, Antulu and others, after a slight pause, smiled deeply.

Nangong Xiao's words made Lilia a little confused, because she didn't know much about Dawn City, she only knew that it was a city located on the border of the human race suddenly created by her fiancé, and she hardly knew the details.

But Princess Changxi is different, she has been paying close attention to the situation of Dawn City not long after the construction of Dawn City started.

Now being mentioned by Nangong Xiao, many doubts about the ruling behavior of Dawn City have gradually become clear.

After a moment of silence, Princess Changxi said seriously, "Ah Xiao, not all nobles have long-term vision. I can see that Shuguang City is giving nobles a new definition, but this is just your wishful thinking. To change, other nobles are not necessarily willing to change, and even think it is a provocation."

Nangong Xiao nodded and said, "So, Dawn City is my private land."

"This kind of lie can't be changed, and it can't even cover up the truth." After shaking her head, Princess Changxi asked, "Ah Xiao, what do you want?"

Perhaps it was Nangong Xiao's frankness that influenced Princess Changxi, and Princess Changxi didn't beat around the bush anymore. After she understood Nangongxiao's thoughts, she directly entered the stage of 'negotiation'.

"The markets of the two countries and the population supply guarantee of the elves and dragons." Nangong Xiao said directly.

Princess Changxi frowned slightly, "The market can understand it. Population? It's still two races, presumably more than these two races? Are you sure? In the situation where different races live together in Dawn City, irreversible conflicts are prone to occur. Oh. More importantly, you didn't specify the main ethnic group, I can see that you are trying to balance the population of each ethnic group, this approach is not wise, and even very dangerous."

"I dare to do this because Dawn City was created from scratch. In Dawn City, the laws and regulations I made and the way of life I set are customs and the highest authority.

The current residents of Aurora City did not come because I begged them to come, but because they yearned for a better life. If someone doesn’t understand the primary and secondary relationship, I don’t mind letting them leave, or disappear completely. "

"Hiss! You are reshaping everyone's perception of their own existence?!" Princess Chang Xi said with her eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're fine. I like it."

"Uh...huh?" Nangong Xiao's sudden confession made Princess Chang Xi confused.

"I admire you." After Nangong Xiao added, Princess Chang Xi understood what the big boy meant.

A little helpless, but Princess Chang Xi also said seriously, "I am so grateful. Your idea is too crazy, you, you are really a lunatic..."

"However, you did not deny the feasibility of this."

Princess Changxi paused for a moment, and looked at Nangong Xiao, "...It's just that once Shuguang City arouses collective hostility from the noble circle, the empire will not easily provide military support. Son of Heaven, I, princes and ministers of the empire, we It is the nobility.

In your terms, we are all vested interests.

This, I hope you can understand. "

Nangong Xiao also looked directly at Princess Chang Xi with sharp eyes, and said calmly, "I understand. Therefore, all I need is market share and basic population supply guarantee. It is an established fact that Dawn City was besieged. In this celebration Afterwards, the major forces also fully understood the characteristics of Dawn City. Faced with the anomaly of Dawn City, the best way is to make Dawn The city was completely wiped out."

"Since you are clear, but you do it again... I understand. I will report the truth to the emperor." Princess Chang Xi really wanted to ask, what gave you confidence?However, she would not be stupid enough to ask such a question, so she had to respond routinely.

"Enough." Nangong Xiao said, then looked at Lilia.

Lilia's face froze, she still hasn't figured out the situation until now.

Nangong Xiao also saw Lilia's situation, and said, "Don't worry, stay in Dawn City for a while, and you will understand after you understand the situation in Dawn City. Even if you don't understand, your father will understand."

Lilia's cheeks burned, and she would be embarrassed or even angry when she was so bluntly pointed out, but Nangong Xiao didn't even have a word of comfort or persuasion, but spoke again.

"Now, Dawn City can provide a way to improve the output efficiency of civilians, and has the most direct magic industrial technology, which is enough to become the key to breaking the existing bottleneck for the Dragon Race and the Elf Race. As for how the high-level officials of the two races will use it These methods and techniques are not what I need to ask.

Using these in exchange for the domestic market of dragon people and elves, as well as the supply of the overflow population of the two races, can be regarded as a relatively equal transaction.

And the marriage contract between you and me is also one of the keys to all these transactions, so I also opened up and said that the marriage contract is just a form of publicity to the world. We need to maintain the respective interests of the three parties and keep in touch frequently. That is A matter of course.

As for whether there will be emotions between us beyond the relationship of interests in the future, I can't give an answer, and you must be the same.

That being the case, let us continue all this with the purest interest relationship. If one day there is a crack in the tripartite relationship, or even a direct break of hostility, then we don't need to feel pain because of it.

That's the tone I want to say.

Of course, there are some details that have not been mentioned, such as mutual non-interference in private life, necessary external image tacit understanding in public, etc. Presumably, these need not be elaborated, you should all know what to do. "

Although what Nangong Xiao said was clear and blunt, and the straightforwardness made people's scalp tingle, but in reality, even if these things were not clearly stated, they would definitely unfold like this.

Marriage is like this, and everyone understands this truth.

Therefore, Princess Changxi does not have any expectations for marriage, and on the premise of being unable to resist, she will not engage in meaningless exclusion.

On the other hand, Lilia, who is relatively naive, is extremely disgusted because she knows that the marriage will inevitably lead to such a result.

However, after Nangong Xiao finished speaking, the two women felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, and there was even a vague sense of shame and anger of being rejected.

what is this?Aren't we pretty?

Our status is poor?

Benefits, benefits... just know the benefits!

You are still not a man! ?

If it is replaced by the expression of modern written language, the general idea in the hearts of the two women is just like this.

Princess Chang Xi, who is good at hiding, didn't show this emotion on the surface, but Lilia was different, she looked like a kitten with fried fur, and knowing that these were facts, she was aggrieved by the speechless counterattack. Let Nangong Xiao see it.

At this time, Nangong Xiao also realized that she seemed to have overestimated Lilia, the elf princess's ability to accept. If this development is allowed to continue, the princess may have a rebellious backlash, which is not a good thing...

Just when Nangong Xiao was about to say something, Asuna, who was wearing an apron, came to the back of the sofa, first greeted Princess Changxi and Lilia with a friendly smile, and then said to Nangong Xiao, "Ah Xiao, are you still here?" Do you have any fresh kiwi fruit?"

Nangong Xiao blinked, although he didn't know why Asuna asked this question suddenly, and he believed that Asuna's system backpack and space ring must store a large amount of fresh woody fruit, and in this case, he intentionally used it It was intriguing to ask him before.

But Asuna was one of his own, and besides Chu Xuan, he was one of the few people he could trust. Of course, he cooperated without hesitation.

"Yes, yes. By the way, what is this here for?"

Taking over a dozen fresh woody fruits that Nangong Xiao took out from the space ring with both hands, Asuna said with a smile, "I want to add some fresh woody fruits to the fruit salad, um, I miss you Will love it."

Chapter 194 Who is Stupid and Sweet?

"Fruit salad with muxiang fruit? You can have this." Nangong Xiao's eyes lit up with interest, "You are finally willing to try the whole muxiang fruit feast? Do you need my help? I am very good at handling muxiang fruit. Be confident."

"No, there is only one fruit salad with woody fruit." Asuna twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and then said, "What's more, Sayuri and I are enough in the kitchen, please don't help, um, you just need to wait to eat available."

"All right..."

"Okay, I will try more desserts and even dishes with muxiang fruit in the future, please look forward to it." Seeing Nangong Xiao's slightly disappointed look, Asuna wanted to laugh, but it was also like coaxing a child Generally speaking.

"Oh? That's great, I'm looking forward to it."

After a brief exchange with Nangong Xiao, Asuna held the muxiang fruit, smiled and bowed to Princess Changxi and Princess Lilia, and then strolled back to the kitchen.

Asuna's series of actions seemed very ordinary, she just came to ask Nangong Xiao for something, and she didn't express anything special.

But in the eyes of Princess Chang Xi and Lilia, all these are different things.

Princess Chang Xi still has sufficient information about Dawn City, and knows that besides the two concubines Qiu Ye and Dong Ye, there are several very close and special women around Nangong Xiao.

From Princess Chang Xi's point of view, this is nothing, or in other words, for nobles in this world, this is a normal situation.

However, Asuna's sudden arrival, coupled with the annoyance provoked by someone before, made her suddenly realize.

——It turns out that this guy likes this kind of woman who is a good wife and mother, no wonder he was able to say that kind of thing before.

As if she had found a reason to appease her emotions, Princess Changxi became much calmer, but a trace of inexplicable grievances sprouted in her heart more or less.

Similarly, Lilia has also calmed down at the moment. She, who was about to blow up her hair, can't help but mutter in her heart at this moment--so it is this, there is someone who is truly in love, no wonder... But, I have so bad?

Glancing at the back of Asuna walking towards the kitchen, especially Asuna's unobvious elf features, Lilia felt a strange feeling in her heart, the feeling of being compared...

At this moment, Asuna also entered the kitchen, meeting Sayuri's admiring gaze, Asuna asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Asuna, that's amazing. It not only eased the atmosphere there, but also highlighted the status of the main palace." Said Baihe praised in a low voice.

"Position in the palace?" After repeating the word, Asuna smiled disapprovingly, "I don't care about that kind of thing, I just want to help Ah Xiao. Women are more emotional, their identities and personalities It is doomed to have the arrogance of not admitting defeat, um, pride. I just provoked their pride and magnified their sensibility, so that it will be more beneficial to Ah Xiao in the future games."

After hearing Asuna's words, Sayuri was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes widened, "You..."

In an instant, there was a huge wave in Sayuri's heart.

"Okay, let's continue. After finishing the remaining two dishes, we can start the meal." Asuna was not interested in continuing, but went to the sink with a smile and started to process the woody fruit.

Looking at Asuna who was humming a ditty tune while cleaning the woody fruit, Sayuri couldn't help sighing in her heart—you don't care, but what you do can make your scale in the heart of the little boss, increase And, um, weights measured in tons.

Moreover, it really complied with the Chinese saying, "If you are not a family, you do not enter a family".

Today's young people are really amazing...

"Sister Sayuri?"

"Ah, here we come." Sayuri didn't continue to think wildly, and hurried forward to help...

The camera turned back to the sofa in the living room, Nangong Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. Before Asuna came over suddenly, he had no time to think. Now that he sorted out his thoughts a little, he probably understood what Asuna meant.

This made Nangong Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and drank tea to hide his joy.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - this is my woman!
