As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

"...It is undeniable, but if the concept of 'Hexin Chamber of Commerce' is replaced by a country, wouldn't Lugnica's finances be much better?"

Although after Li Wei's simple analogy, Julius finally figured out the key to it, but in his understanding, Anastasia can make the Chamber of Commerce flourish. Isn't it just a matter of size if it is replaced by a kingdom?

"The price of running the country as a chamber of commerce is that the common people starve to death. Is this kind of result acceptable to Sir Knight?"

Li Wei sneered and asked back, the sarcasm in his tone was completely undisguised, he finally realized how naive the "best knight" in front of him was thinking.

Julius believed that the employees of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce had a considerable income, which was equivalent to being able to live a prosperous life as ordinary people, while the money earned by Anastasia was equivalent to entering the national treasury.

But how could reality be so simple?The idea of ​​the purple-haired knight is like thinking of the king as a rancher and the people as sheepdogs, but where do the mutton and goat milk come from?A more accurate statement should be that the nobles are the shepherd dogs, and the common people are the sheep.By the time the high-level people have enough to eat and drink, the blood at the bottom has already been drained.

"Mr. Leviathan, the business of the Lun family is not limited to Lugnica."

Anastasia, who has outstanding business skills, immediately realized the problem, that is... this situation only happens when the goods are purchased and sold within the kingdom, but wouldn't it be enough to earn money from other countries?

"Miss Anna, this must be based on the premise that you are a free trader. As long as you serve the kingdom, you will definitely be suppressed by neighboring countries. At the least, they will establish tariff barriers, and at worst, they will prohibit the inflow of goods."

In fact, Li Wei was not sure whether countries in this world would be smart enough to restrict the trade activities of businessmen from other countries, but this did not prevent him from bluffing the half-understanding officials in the hall.

"Governing the country is different from the operator's association. If profit is the goal instead of people's livelihood, disintegration is inevitable. Besides, whether a greedy person like Miss Anna will charge the income into the treasury is another matter, at least I don't I have seen a boss and employees share operating profits equally."

In the end, when Li Wei concluded, he also clarified a concept—the king is the manager of the country, not the owner, and the king's private property is not the same as the treasury. This is something that the other party knows but deliberately confuses.

"How can the country be compared with the chamber of commerce? Knight Julius is too sloppy..."

"Hmph, what is the best knight, a man who is trying to gain fame, I heard that he was beaten to death for molesting a little girl before."

"He serves only an orphan in the slums of Kararagi. What qualifications does he have to be a king? If you put gold leaf on the mud, isn't it still mud?"

The civil servants provided support to Li Wei in a timely manner. Compared with Felut, who has royal blood, Anastasia is a real orphan in a slum, and she is also a foreign businessman. Naturally, the criticism she received is even worse and harsher.

"That's all I'm going to say, I'm sorry."

Li Wei pretended to leave with a nod of his head, unlike the gloomy expression on Julius's face, the purple-haired girl still kept a bright smile, but in fact no one knew what she was thinking

Chapter 231 The Gap Between the Poor and the Noble

"...Now that Your Excellency Leviathan has finished speaking, let's invite the next candidate to come forward."

Mycrotov didn't fully understand the conversation between the two sides, but judging from his experience of observing words and expressions, it should still be Leviathan's victory this time.

"Yes, Master Felt and Knight Reinhardt, are both willing to participate in the king's election?"

The head of the group, Marcus, looked at the blond girl with her arms folded and her face full of dissatisfaction and asked in a deep voice.

"Master Felt...you promised me before..."

Reinhardt kept persuading helplessly, for fear that the girl would change her mind on the spot.

"Hmph, you know, it's not just about being a king."

Felut really wanted to leave, but considering that Lord Roma was still in the opponent's hands, she could only bite the bullet and participate in the king's election.

"Then please come up, both of you, is there anything you want to say, Master Felt?"

Mycrotov asked with a cheerful smile, whether in public or private, he was very pleased to see the vitality of the only blood of the former king's royal family.As for rude speech and behavior, it is a trivial matter, anyway, you can teach it slowly when you are not too old.

"Just one thing! Let me tell you guys, I hate nobles, I hate knights, I hate kingdoms, I hate everything, so I want to destroy everything, how about it?"

Felut spread his hands in front of the audience, with a flamboyant smile on his face, and made a declaration that was even more exciting than the previous cancellation of the Dragon Covenant.

"You... what are you talking about?"

After a brief silence in the audience, Bordeaux, the vice-chairman of the Council of Sages, questioned in a trembling voice. He couldn't imagine that someone would discuss the destruction of the country at the ceremony of electing a king. This is simply a lunatic's act.

"If I become the king, I will destroy everything! Push you guys off the stage, and kick those blind guys who can't see the soles of their feet and are about to collapse, so that the kingdom will be better ventilated."

Felt looked at the nobles and knights whom she had always hated, and vented her dissatisfaction as the poorest poor in the most vicious language.

Why can this group of nobles spend extravagantly and want to sing and sing every night?And they can only use their lives to grab the rotten and smelly water in the trash can?Why can a noble daughter attend tea parties and salons in a glamorous manner, but if a little girl like her does not cheat secretly, she has to sell her body for half a piece of bread?

The life in Astrea's house these days not only did not make Felut a "lady", but made her more convinced that the nobles are the moths of this country. If the entire class is not overthrown, Lugnica There is no cure.

"Your master is really tough."

Mycrotov stroked his beard very calmly, and looked at Reinhardt to know his thoughts. In theory, if the "Jugger" insists on reform, basically no one can stop it. After all, "Shenlong" doesn't care. Kingdom internal affairs.

"One day, Master Felt's words will reach everyone."

The red-haired knight responded with a smile that the entire Knights of the Guards are very radical reformers, and this is where their conflict with the civilian group lies.

"But it seems that you are also included in the things that Master Felt wants to overthrow."

"The new life after destruction may also be a new way out for this aging kingdom."

Reinhardt bowed deeply to Mycrotov and stated his position with a firm attitude.

"So that's what it is——Is that what your Excellency Leviathan thought, to let this little girl come out to attract firepower?"

Roswaal rubbed his chin and quietly enjoyed the chaotic king election scene. He was a little puzzled by Li Wei's recommendation of Felut to the "Sword Master" before, and even suspected that he was hedging his bets. Now it seems that It was completely prescient, and even the Gospels failed to predict this scene.

"Bastard Leviathan! Tell me what nonsense you have. If you hadn't pushed me out, today's trouble would not have happened."

Felut got a little impatient with the noise, dug his ears with his little finger, and urged Li Wei to come out for "routine Q&A".

"Hey...it's none of my business, don't you say it well? Everyone is very excited."

Li Wei patted the small head of Abi, who was trying to intercede for his friend, and signaled her to be calm, and then walked out of the queue under the knife-like eyes of the knights.

"Your Excellency Leviathan, don't make fun of us. Mr. Felut was recommended by you. Please be a little more lenient later."

Reinhardt thought he was not good at words, and his master had a bad temper, so it would be embarrassing if he was induced to say something stupid.

"Okay... Everyone knows what Mr. Felut is worried about. Lugnica has been a country for hundreds of years. This big tree has been eaten by moths for a long time. There must be a strong force to sweep away all the filth. .”

Li Wei's first sentence made the reckless knights look happy, and the civil servants were ready to refute loudly, but he changed the subject and asked Felut:

"But... what are you going to do? Hang all the nobles and officials? Wouldn't that make you almost the same as the person you hate? You must know that there are not a few responsible nobles like Mr. Crusch."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Felut completely scoffed at Li Wei's question. If she could answer it, would she still need to be a thief?

"Let's reform the system of selecting officials, from only appointing nobles to those who are capable, so that commoners can also be in power. In this way, people with talent and character will gradually replace those who are vegetarians."

Li Wei smiled and put forward a very dangerous proposal that suits the tastes of the reformers, changing the original "Shiqingshilu system" to "examination system", and even further adopting the imperial examination system.

"You said it lightly, but as long as the nobles continue to suppress the common people, won't the result be the same?"
