Sui Xiong spoke loudly, but he did have the capital to say so.
Don't forget, not long ago, he had just blocked a true god at home for several months.
Although his door-blocking tactic did not achieve the expected results. In the end, the goddess of love was moved by Carissa's infatuation and changed her mind. But if he had not persevered and blocked the door for so long, how could the goddess of love pay attention to Carissa? , and then discover her specialness
It can be seen that the door-blocking tactic is still very effective.
Even gods are afraid of blocking the door, so how can a group of mere mortals not be afraid
So Sui Xiong abandoned the unfinished fortress and went straight to the meeting place of the Great Council.
He didn't talk nonsense to those mortals, and directly spread out countless tentacles, grabbing all the big nobles, powerful nobles, big businessmen, heads of medium and large chambers of commerce... and the like, and brought them all to the venue, and then coldly said: "I'll help You guys gather together and talk slowly.”
A more courageous businessman asked: "When will it be discussed?"
"When will the negotiation be settled? When will it end?" Sui Xiong said, "If the negotiation is not settled, you will live here for the rest of your life."
The first sentence was very ordinary, but the latter sentence was so murderous that the big shots were so frightened that some of them even peed.
The reality is not a bard's story. There are few mortals in the world who dare to compete with the gods - especially this god is one of the most powerful among the gods. No one dares to disobey Sui Xiong's will, so even in his heart No matter how unwilling they were, the leaders of the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction could only stay in the Great Council and negotiate slowly.
True to his word, Sui Xiong locked them tightly in the meeting hall of the Great Council. Not to mention going home to sleep, even eating, drinking and having sex must be done inside the venue, and they are not allowed to go out.
Winter is over, spring is coming, flowers are blooming, and the weather is getting warmer day by day. A large group of people gathered in the Great Council venue. Even though food and drink could be brought in from outside, and Lazarus could be transported out in toilet buckets, taking a bath was unthinkable—when the Great Council venue was originally built. , no one thought that there would be a day when they would need to take a bath in it.
The dirty clothes can be solved by changing clothes or even using magic, but the stains on the body are unthinkable. As the days passed, the big shots in the Great Council Hall became dirtier and dirtier. Gradually, everyone started to stink. They were used to the smell and didn't notice it yet, but everyone who came in from the outside would be made dizzy by the stench from these hundreds of people. Later, some people even started to vomit as soon as they entered the door. , vomited until even bile came out.
When things got to this point, the goddess of wealth felt a little uneasy. He advised Sui Xiong to give these people a few days off to tidy up and at least wash away the stench from their bodies. Sui Xiong was unmoved and directly rejected the matter.
"I want to keep my word." He said, "Since I take care of this matter, I must take care of the results. If they can't negotiate the results, then they will all die in it!"
He said this, and no one could persuade him. The leaders of the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction gave up. But how can negotiations produce results so quickly? Both sides have already reached the point where their bayonets are loaded and they are almost desperate. There is really no room for relaxation and accommodation on many issues. No matter how anxious, worried or trying to get out, they refuse to give in.
The leader of the aristocratic faction, one of the two marquises, once said this: "Even if I die in this venue, don't expect me to give in even half a step! At worst, everyone will die together!"
In contrast, the attitude of the merchant faction was somewhat relaxed. After all, merchants are not as stubborn as nobles. In other words, their temperaments are softer and they cannot endure like nobles. As time went by, they gradually began to give in.
Once you get started, things will be easy to handle. The nobles had the upper hand in the general situation and did not mind making slight concessions in other aspects. The negotiations gradually became formal.
Naturally, what happened inside the Grand Council venue could not be hidden from Sui Xiong. Seeing the merchants giving in again, he sneered in his heart and couldn't help but think of Professor Cheng's comments back then.
The group of businessmen is actually very weak. Although they are crazy enough in the face of interests, they often shrink back once long-term and arduous efforts are required. Therefore, none of the countries in the world that can complete infrastructure construction and lay the foundation for future prosperity is completely controlled by pure businessmen.
At that time, some students were dissatisfied and asked: "Since businessmen are weak, why has the world situation developed to this day and it is businessmen who have eliminated the nobles?"
Professor Cheng laughed loudly and said: "It is not the merchants who eliminate the feudal system, but the people! The merchants are weak, which makes it easy for them to surrender to the nobles and to the people. So they naturally get more support from the people than the nobles, and in the end Is it any wonder that the feudal system has been eliminated?”
"If the power of the people is so strong, why do we still have all kinds of problems in our lives?" someone asked again.
"You bastard! Do you think progress falls from the sky?" Professor Cheng smiled and cursed, "I don't know how many people's efforts and how many twists and turns it takes to promote a little bit of progress. How many times did the ancient ape use it?" It took a hundred thousand years to evolve into human beings, and the feudal system was eliminated only a hundred years ago—in many places it has not even been eliminated. Are you so anxious to achieve a harmonious society? Reality is not about telling stories, and there is no such thing as unlimited energy. With the advent of advanced black technology, we will never see a harmonious society in this lifetime... Maybe it will take another few thousand years before it is possible."
Looking at the situation inside the Great Council Hall, Sui Xiong's heart lit up as he recalled what Professor Cheng had said.
Relying on scientific and technological progress alone to promote social progress is still too slow after all. Should I focus on cultivating more progressive forces and let them grow faster until they can defeat the nobles who dominate society and realize a new era?
If it needs to be cultivated, what kind of strength should be cultivated
Working class? The world has not yet developed into comprehensive large-scale production, and the working class is not large enough. Even if you want to sing "We workers have power," there are not many people and the singing will not be loud.
Peasant class? From his impression, the farmers in this world are weaker than the businessmen. Not to mention they are unwilling to rebel if they have food to eat. Even if they have no food to eat, most of them will just flee and do not have the courage to rise up.
Merchant class? With how bad they were, Sui Xiong really had no confidence in them.
After much deliberation, he still couldn't think of any suitable candidate, so he could only shake his head secretly.
It seems that after all, the level of social development is not enough!
