Chapter 286

The glory festival will begin on the 15th of the month of celebration.

This festival is alinks. No, it should be said that it is the most grand festival celebration in prandal and the most grand festival since the autumn. It is not only alinks, but almost all prandal countries and cities will hold celebrations, among which the alinks where the Holy See of light is located is the most grand.

Even though the Ilus Empire has declined, and even though arlex is no longer the center of the world, in the eyes of the believers of the Holy See of light, it has always been a sacred city. The glorious festival held to commemorate the arrival of the God of light jebirni is naturally the most important festival in the hearts of arlex residents.

Therefore, many chambers of Commerce began to make preparations early, and the headquarters in yarinks is particularly busy. In these seven days of festivals, the streets and alleys of yarinks will be full of celebration. If the activities are well done, the income of these seven days alone can exceed the usual one month.

Therefore, those businessmen love and hate the glorious sacrifice.

Of course, Donne can't avoid vulgarity. Since he knew this festival comparable to the national day, he had already been interested in planning publicity activities.

Before that, the popularity of Datang chamber of Commerce was limited to the aristocratic groups in arlinks, and ordinary people knew little about it. That was because the main commodities produced by Datang chamber of commerce were basically oriented to the aristocracy - soap and dew. Although these daily necessities greatly promoted the popularity of the brand, they did not have much brand strength, and the products symbolizing the brand were too expensive, Ordinary people simply can't afford it, which creates a fault.

But now, things are different.

The emergence of bicycles can perfectly make up for this fault, so as to create a complete customer ecological network of upper, middle and lower layers, and maximize the value of the brand.

Because the bicycle has simple technology, low cost and a lot of profits, and the price is only ten gold coins, it is very suitable for promotion to middle and low-level civilians, and the practicability of the bicycle will make them very happy to buy one and put it at home.

It's not just that. With the participation of the elf designer, he played a lot of tricks on bicycles alone, such as strollers, toddlers, children's entertainment, teenagers, girls, youth fashion and sports, calm and atmospheric, housewives' shopping, etc. Donne simply learned all the unique skills of the cold rice King - of course, In prandal, it's not fried cold rice, it's bold innovation.

Tang en is sure that after the glorious ceremony, bicycles will be popular all over the country in an instant.

After a while, when people get used to bicycles, he can launch an upgraded version of magic bicycle. As long as enough people are attracted to buy magic bicycles, the market of magic crystal will further expand, and the price is bound to continue to rise.

Of course, the most important step is the magic car, which is the main consumption of magic crystal. However, the influence of magic car is quite huge. Donne decided to put it after the magic bike and launch it elsewhere after Ellington's first promotion and use.

Different from other things, the influence brought by magic car is probably unprecedented. It will completely change the travel and transportation mode. It can be predicted that the carriage will be the first to be impacted, and many chambers of Commerce making a living will usher in a wave of bankruptcy.

But that's not what Donne should care about. If he is smart enough, he will certainly smell business opportunities - Donne is not interested in running taxi and logistics business, which is a waste of energy. At that time, he'd better give this oil and water to others.

After dealing with Donne for such a long time, Fiona also roughly understood his ideas. Therefore, after returning to the Lord's house, Fiona seemed to see the golden tide of gold coins coming to her as soon as he said what promotional activities to do

Her eyes glowed with gold: "how much can I earn this time?"

"... little money fan."

Donne lost his smile, gently clicked on her nose, and then said, "how much we can earn depends on how we operate this time. After all, the protagonist of the glory Festival is the Holy See of light. We haven't dealt with the Holy See of light, so we can't have any preferential treatment."

"Being so close to the Cathedral of light is an advantage in itself."

Fiona touched her nose and said angrily, "I believe you can make a lot of money with your skills, Lord."

"I hope so."

Donne shrugged. Thanks to the elemental biology led by dicarios, the development speed of Ellington has been further improved. In addition, with bicycles, people's information transmission speed and activity scope have increased a lot. Therefore, the construction scope of the town has been expanded several times, and it is still being constructed according to the blueprint of the established plan.

The most important thing is that the roads have been leveled, and most of the main roads have been paved with asphalt roads, which is very convenient wherever you go.

In fact, due to the invention and sales of magic drill, the asphalt mining efficiency in the dwarf Kingdom has been improved dozens of times. If it were not limited by manpower and economic conditions, Donne planned to start paving asphalt roads to other villages and towns in Ellington.

If we can make a lot of money at this glorious Festival and improve the work welfare of Ellington again, we will certainly attract a large number of available talents to flow to Ellington, and the situation will be better at that time.

"Speak up, Lord."

Fiona pondered for a moment and asked, "you think our development speed has always been limited by the population, so why don't you agree to my previous request to buy slaves?"

Donne frowned, "didn't I say don't mention it again before?"

"But you must know that buying a thousand slaves is only 100000 gold coins, but these slaves do not need to be paid at all and can be at their disposal."

Donne said seriously, "Fiona, you have to know one thing."

Fiona was stunned: "what?"

"No business, no harm."

Donne asked, "there is no big war in prandal now, so where do the slaves from all countries come from?"

"They are mainly born as slaves by inheriting the identity of their parents, then losers in factional struggle, refugees who can't survive and sell their freedom, and some caught mixed race races, etc."

"That's right."

Donne smiled and pointed to the stool next to him. After Fiona sat down, he continued, "but don't you see that this society is changing?"

"Change?"

"Yes, slaves are a special product of the relatively primitive period of productivity. At that time, human productivity was insufficient, so it was necessary to plunder others to meet their own productivity needs. At that time, slaves were equal to wealth, so the slave trade was very developed."

"However, with the progress of productivity, human rights have been paid more and more attention, so now in prandal, slave traders are despised by people - because no one likes to be slaves, and no one wants to become slaves in case of failure."

Fiona thought about it carefully and found that this truth was true. None of the big slave traders in yarinks had a more glorious identity. They were ignored both in the aristocratic circle and in the merchant circle, just like living in a crack.

In fact, Donne discovered this when he was in arlinks. His feeling is very subtle.

Yes, prandal, a world with true gods, is in a wonderful state of superposition of slave society, feudal society and capitalist society. There are still slaves here. Feudal kingship occupies national sovereignty, but at the same time, businessmen have begun to unite against kingship and intend to seek more interests and discourse. This is clearly the germination of capitalist society.

"Slaves are also human beings, especially some born slaves. Their longing for freedom and power is extremely strong, just like a long-standing volcano, which may erupt at any time."

Donne sipped his tea. "What I can tell you is that using slaves is actually a very dangerous behavior at this time."

Yes, that's why Donne didn't use slaves.

Prandar's social form is changing, and what he is doing now is to speed up the process of change. If he turns against the past and uses a large number of slaves at this time, on the one hand, it will stimulate the declining slave trade market and lead more innocent people to become slaves. On the other hand, it will also have a negative effect on his propaganda.

Most importantly, slaves yearned for freedom, and without culture, they were easily bought and used.

Of course, Donne can buy a large number of slaves and give them the freedom and respect they desire. However, once they have been oppressed for a long time, once they are used, they will not hesitate to deal with Donne in turn. There is no doubt - don't forget that Donne now represents the aristocratic privileged class and is opposed to slaves.

From another perspective, slaves need to fight for freedom. If Donne was a slave owner at that time and he was at the disadvantage of the tide of the times, what excuse should he use to save the world?

Fiona didn't understand this at first, but when Donne briefly reminded her, she soon figured it out.

"That is to say, now we Ellington neither oppose nor support slavery?"

Donne's mouth tilted: "although we have not stated our position, haven't we already stated our attitude in our foreign publicity policy?"

Fiona was stunned and suddenly remembered the slogan written by Donne.

"Ellington welcomes any law-abiding citizen to settle here. As long as you are willing to work and abide by our laws, come to Ellington!"

"Here, you will get all the rights you deserve!"

All rights naturally include the right to personal freedom!
