“No?” Selinda put her hand on her waist, squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Chen, waiting for him to give an explanation.
“I can’t break my trust from those slaves. I told them that as long as I follow me, I can get a better life and get the status of a free citizen in a few years. If I resell them now, I will go against what I said. I have to be responsible for them!” Xiao Chen said.
“Are you kidding? When will a lord and a magician be responsible for some slaves?” Selinda’s voice immediately rose. She was not a lady, otherwise she would not have run away from home and sneaked into the enemy camp. So Xiao Chen’s words made her angry. She felt that she was being fooled. Her anger was not because the other party did not sell her slaves, but because the other party actually used such nonsense reasons to make excuses her. This is simply treating people as fools.
“This is not a joke. If I don’t have credit, why should they listen to me? If I don’t have credit, why should others believe what I said in the future?”
“Credit? Who ruled with credit? Power is the foundation of the rule! Didn’t these slaves surrender to your sword and magic? If you don’t want to give me a slave, why do you have to say such nonsense?” Selinda was not as dependent as a village girl when she was arguing, and she was clearly a powerful knight.
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Selinda, Xiao Chen is definitely not trying to evade you. He must have his own ideas, listen to his explanation.” Li Jia held her, put her hand on her shoulder, and looked like she was saying good things. Selinda glared at him, stopped talking, and listened to how Xiao Chen defended her.
When Xiao Chen saw Li Jia’s appearance, he knew that he was snatched by Selinda. He sighed and said, “Of course, force is very important. A founding leader in my hometown said, ‘The regime comes from the barrel of a gun.'”
“Region?”
“You understand it as the group of people who rule.”
“This is right, and it clearly summarizes what I want to say. But I prefer to use a sword.” Selinda nodded in agreement.
“Why can power be found in the gun? Not only because you can destroy your enemies, but more importantly, you can protect your people. Why do your people pay taxes for you? It is also because they believe that you can protect them from thieves, beasts and other lords. If you want them to believe that you can do this, you must keep your promise. Otherwise, can a lord who does not keep his word in mind really expect him to protect everyone in a critical moment?”
Selinda was silent for a while and asked, “Do you think the farmers in Montenegro resist taxes and do not trust the relationship between the Arias family?”
“At least you have increased taxes randomly and failed to keep the original agreement, which has pushed everyone to the limit of tolerance.”
“But if you did not show up, these farmers would be very lightlySuppress it loosely. They will eventually hand over the food obediently and then be taught a lesson. What does this have to do with whether they believe us or not? “
“This time it was not successful, there will be another riot. “Xiao Chen affirmed.
Selinda smiled disdainfully, “Just with them, the fate of being suppressed many times. With swords and swords in hand, how many people will choose to resist to the end? How many people will surrender? No need to say more, right? “
“This…it seems to be too rough. “Li Jia whispered.
“Rough? From south to north, from west to east, which lord is not like this? If someone really sees the expression of the leader, his lord doesn’t have to continue doing it. Such weak things will not be overthrown by those unlucky people, and will be sent to the gallows by the lord next door. ”
“Isn’t it good to be kind? “Li Jia’s voice became even smaller.
“Renyi is a little honey applied on the barbecue. Without a knife, killing cows, where can you get the honey to apply! Master Xiao Chen, you are not really planning to treat those slaves like this, right? If that is the case, I really have to consider the value of working with you. “Celinda’s face was cold and there was no joke at all.
Xiao Chen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. All his ideas and views, whether socialist or capitalist, came from the era after the Industrial Revolution. At that time, the feudal aristocrat system had long collapsed, and the relationship between people had undergone tremendous changes. The daughter of the earl in front of him was a serious feudal aristocrat. If such a great aristocrat could easily accept his ideas, there would be no French Revolution.
Selinda’s kingdom and territory were not modern countries. Selinda’s nobles and subjects were not politicians and citizens. Therefore, the previous words were almost talked about by chickens and ducks. Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, “It is useless to say more now. We are already talking about the territory, and we can completely solve it in other ways. We have money, technology, and goods. As for slaves, I can give in. You can give up your conditions and go to the camp to ask, and you will take away those who are willing to leave with you. “
Selinda knew that the conditions she would give slaves were definitely far less than Xiao Chen’s promise. Those untouchables are not fools, who would follow her? She snorted coldly and said, “Just give up on this matter, I’m not a good friend. —–Please remind me: Please pay attention to your eyes when you read for a long time. :
