Chapter 494

In the middle of January.

The palace of St. James.

Even if it snows outside, the study of Queen Isabella is warm as spring.

No matter how much her majesty advocates frugality, a warm fire does not matter to a knight. However, the female officials who served in the court could not make the royal family dishonorable at this point.

At this time, the eloquent guests in the Queen's study obviously want to thank those opinionated court female officials.

"Mr. Francis, it is not my intention to discuss further the question of human nature with you, a philosopher.

My view has never changed: human nature is selfish, and the pursuit of personal interests is the only driving force for people to engage in economic activities.

As long as the state does not intervene excessively in this kind of economic activities, guided by the price mechanism of the free market, the citizens will not only maximize their personal interests, but also further promote public interests, so that the country will become rich and strong. "

"Mr. kirkkady, I agree with you that we should enrich our people and enrich our country.

But the root of a country's prosperity still depends on technological progress. If the Kingdom stays in the agricultural society all the time, no matter how good the political economy theory is, it's just a attic in the air.

Moreover, a completely free market dominated by the people is not conducive to the overall planning of resources. I think it's up to the kingdom to make unified planning, so that the kingdom without so many rich colonies can catch up with and overtake hillius as soon as possible. "

"Mr. Francis..."

"Mr. kirckhardy..."

two gray haired middle-aged people argued endlessly in the Queen's study, and no one could persuade anyone, while the Queen Isabella, who was sitting behind her desk, did not interrupt, just wrote a sentence on the paper from time to time.

This is a reserved program that will be held every week when asking about politics. Although the two old gentlemen argue endlessly, they can also provide valuable suggestions and inspiration for the Queen's future planning of the kingdom.

The two scholars, who look like ordinary people, are actually advisers in the Royal think tank. In addition, they are professors of higher education, philosophers, economists, natural scientists, writers and so on.

Economist Kirk Kadi, chief consultant of the think tank, is also a strong promoter of private ownership and free economy.

Francis, a philosopher and natural scientist, is the second adviser of the think tank. He advocates that knowledge and technology are power and is the pioneer of steam industrialization.

The argument in the study seems to be going on for some time.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sudden knock on the door, but let two people's voice slightly.

With the Queen's permission, a court official came in and asked her respectfully:

"Your Majesty, your highness levina has brought someone. Do you want to see her now?"

"Well, invite them in."

After the female official took the order to go out, Queen Isabella put down her quill pen and gave a smile to the two advisers:

"two advisers, today there is a good young man here. How about listening to his opinions on the economic development of the future kingdom?"

Although the two gentlemen argued endlessly, they thought highly of themselves. They were not interested in the so-called young people's opinions at all, and the red tape was beyond the consideration of the two pure scholars.

She stood up and was about to say goodbye to the queen, but Isabella added:

"don't you always want to meet the author of the despot disqualification plan? Today... He's here. "

two people sat as like as two peas at age, and sat back on the chair, and saw the same action as the other side.

...

"Elvin, don't be nervous. It's just an informal meeting before your promotion ceremony.

We'll go back after a little chat with your majesty. Your majesty won't embarrass you. "

Prince Livina, who has been promoted to knighthood, finally explained to Elvin and pushed the door open.

As she said, this is an informal meeting to show closeness, so the meeting place is also chosen in the study.

Wearing a stiff dark blue military dress, a gilded general's commanding knife hanging on his waist, and a gold ribbon and a number of brilliant medals from the Kingdom hanging on his chest, Elvin followed the second king's daughter.

Under normal circumstances, a knight's sword will not leave his body, but in front of the king, Sabre is a special treatment only enjoyed by high nobles and guard knights.

Elvin is among them.

"Here comes Elvin, your majesty."

Facing the eyes in the room.

Pa -

Elvin stands at attention and salutes five steps from the Queen's desk.

"Good day, your majesty! Elvin Garriott is here to see you. "

Even if the great power belongs to itself, no one has the right to laugh at the princes and princes before they have the power to break the ruling order.

Of course, Elvin didn't. he bowed his head slightly after the salute and glanced at the figure behind the desk. The first feeling in his mind was:"So young."

Like Livina, she has long golden red hair, green eyes and fair skin. She looks less than 30 years old at all. The gene of the peak is powerful.

Even after being promoted to knighthood, Livina's appearance has returned to about 20 years old. Standing next to Isabella, it makes people think that this is a pair of outstanding sisters.

However, the majestic and profound temperament of her majesty makes it absolutely impossible to admit her mistake.

He was very gentle to Elvin:

"general Garriott, please sit down."

As a guard knight, he was born much closer than a foreign minister. And as a senior officer who has made great contributions to Wang Guoli, of course, he is also qualified to be given a seat by the queen.

However, different from the plan, her majesty and Elvin did not let him leave after a brief chat. Instead, the topic turned to the two consultants and their respective opinions.

In fact, this is also Isabella's concern. Every decree issued by Isabella sitting on the throne may determine the future and destiny of this country and countless people, so she has to be cautious.

After listening to the focus of the two consultants' debate and the choice the queen is facing, Elvin already has a case in mind.

"In the future economic development, which one will go first, market or technology? How much should the Kingdom intervene in the market? "

When it comes to actual combat, I can't catch up with these two experienced old gentlemen, but I'm not afraid of anyone in this world!

So, Elvin straightened up and scanned the people in the study with a smile.

Inner monologue is: all back, I'm going to start to install B.

"The steam industrialization led by Mr. Francis must be carried out, and the free market advocated by Mr. kirckhardy must also be carried out. The key to the problem is how to do it?

In fact, the views of the two consultants are not contradictory in my opinion.

Because the steam industry revolution, which is still in its infancy, is not only a revolution in production technology, but also a revolution in social relations.

With the steady development of the steam industry, I have defined the social process that the Kingdom and even the whole tulip will enter, which is called "capitalization economy".

There are two preconditions for it:

one is to have a large number of employed workers who have only personal freedom but no means of production, such as landless farmers; the other is to concentrate a large number of means of production and monetary wealth in the hands of a few people and turn them into capital.

The process of creating these two conditions is the process of primitive accumulation of capital! "

At this point, all the people in the study are already sitting in a state of anxiety like primary school students. As an expert, the eyes of two consultants, a king and an heir are almost shining.

At the beginning, I just wanted to listen to the author's opinions of the despot disqualification plan, but I didn't expect that he had thoroughly understood the rough ideas of the two chief consultants and built a complete theory integrating both sides.

No one in the whole kingdom is more aware of the importance of a complete set of guidelines than these people in the room.

The enclosure movement, the colonial plunder, the national debt system, the establishment of banks and joint-stock companies, the strict tax system and so on, which the Kingdom started 200 years ago, are not the process of promoting the original accumulation of capital intentionally or unintentionally?

Isn't the steam engine, production line and factory in the steam industry the so-called "capital" that can continuously create wealth?

"How about a free market economy that can fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm? Of course, it's good... "

kirkkady just had a smile on his face, but when he heard Elvin's words suddenly changed:

" however, we have to face a problem.

The establishment of the "capitalized economy" is the prerequisite for further promoting the "steam Industrial Revolution". In the future, the victory of the "steam Industrial Revolution" will consolidate the capitalized economy, and inevitably consolidate the economic and political rights of this class! "

By the time Elvin said this, the brows of the four people were already frowning at the same time. Kokkadi, who advocates a completely free market economy, tried to refute it several times, but found that the other party's theory was irrefutable.

If we do it according to our own ideas, it is very likely that it will turn into such a situation. While the country is rich and strong, we should set up a large number of formidable enemies who are rich and powerful?

Where did the queen and the noble gentlemen go at that time?

She glanced at her Majesty's expressionless face. She could not help but have a cold war.

"You should understand what kind of power is behind a class that holds a large amount of social means of production and monetary wealth?

Even though we hold the supreme power of the country, it is very easy for them to make the Kingdom unstable. It is not impossible to shake the foundation of ordinary people's survival and let the country collapse.

Since human nature is inherently selfish, it is not impossible for them to destroy a country and displace countless people for the sake of interests, right?Don't forget the lessons of our neighbor, the kingdom of Elijah

Evan seized every opportunity to instill his private goods into them. He broke his heart for the "feudal ruling class" in which he was born.

And his last words, also like thunder, let a group of people in the heart of a moment.

Originally, they thought that the key to Elijah's rise and fall was the protection of the Kingdom, but now they have seen through the essence based on Elvin's theory.

That is the emerging bourgeoisie who is in charge of capital is seizing power and declaring war on the existing rulers!

Although with the rise of the new aristocrats, this situation exists more or less in every country, only because of the lack of Elijah's supreme power, this kind of contradiction is particularly fierce.

At the beginning, the queen had a little record in mind, but soon she could only concentrate on listening. Finally, her heart was agitated, and even the quill pen in her hand was accidentally shattered by the fighting flame.

He murmured:

"don't let this happen... Never..."

but he heard Elvin, like a prophet, make a loud announcement:

"just like the religious reform caused by the dark millennium and the Renaissance, the power of the tide is unstoppable.

Even in this world with extraordinary power as its foundation, technology with universality and replicability will one day make the secular world with civilians as its main body burst out the power that makes extraordinary people and even gods have to face up to. "

At this point.

The Queen's face was very solemn. She looked up at Elvin's eyes with a very low posture:

"Garriott, what can you teach me?"

"In the coming social and economic changes, there is now a gate in your Majesty's hands.

Is it to release the tiger directly to hurt others and yourself, or to put on shackles for it from the beginning to avoid its harm? "

Four people said in unison:

"naturally, we should take advantage of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages."

With a grin, Mr. Evan knocked on the blackboard:

"good. Let's talk about the top-level design of macro-economy."

...

after two hours, it was completely dark outside the window.

Ivan delayed half a step behind Livina and walked out of the Queen's study.

At this point.

In addition to the already established rank of major general, Elvin also has the title of consultant of the Queen's think tank on his head. The Queen's think tank is the equivalent of a small cabinet. While the status is lofty and the influence is huge, there is no need to work hard all the time to involve the energy in government affairs.

It's a top position in the kingdom.

The price is a suggestion to the Kingdom: the state partially intervenes in the economy and refuses to completely privatize.

In fact, the state monopolizes industries that are related to people's livelihood, national security and major economic development. Such as banking, health care, transportation construction, communications, military industry, coal, shipping and so on.

Then let other industries adopt the free economy concept of kirkkady to fully compete and stimulate market vitality.

In addition, Evan agrees with Francis.

At present, the greatest wealth of the kingdom is actually the "eye of violet". Those alchemists who have both military background and wizard ability, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and those people are the productive forces in the productive forces.

After listening to a class, the two old gentlemen talk with Elvin bowing, which is xuezha's expectation of Xueba.

In fact, Elvin also has his own small calculation. The development of science and technology industry in any country is from following, imitating to innovation and surpassing. Now, the process of steam industry in faletis is already ahead of all countries in the mainland.

The establishment of a complete industrial system from scratch can not be achieved only by the determination of the rulers. It is hard to imagine the investment of energy, time, wealth and intelligence.

Local economic and technological progress will obviously help the rapid development of mercury United Trading Company.

Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak.

"I can see that your mind should not be much on government affairs."

"Your Highness, one's energy is limited, and one's ambition is not here."

That's it.

When he used to be a trainee knight, Elvin would tremble in front of a viscount.

Now that he has been promoted to the third level, he can talk freely in the face of her Majesty the queen, who can dominate the lives and deaths of countless people, and even fight for his own interests with private goods.

Just as birds dare to stay on branches, they trust their wings instead of branches. In the world where Weili belongs to himself, the third level strength is his strongest strength.

So, he wants to go further, further on this road!
