Sui Xiong talked big, but he did have the capital to say so.
Don't forget, not long ago, he had blocked a true god at home for a few months.
Although his tactic of blocking the door did not achieve the desired effect, and the Goddess of Love was moved by Kalisa's infatuation and changed her mind, if he had not persevered in blocking the door for so long, how would the Goddess of Love have noticed Kalisa and found her special?
It was obvious that blocking the door was very effective.
Even gods were afraid of blocking the door, how could a group of mortals not be afraid?
So Sui Xiong left the unfinished fortress and went straight to the meeting hall.
He did not waste time talking to those mortals, and directly spread out his tentacles to capture all the big nobles, powerful nobles, big merchants, leaders of the big chambers of commerce, and so on. Then he said coldly, "I will help you gather together, and we can talk slowly."
"How long are we going to talk?" asked one of the more daring merchants.
"We will end it when it is settled," Sui Xiong said. "If it is not settled, you will live here for the rest of your lives."
The first sentence was very normal, but the last sentence was really murderous. Those big figures were scared out of their wits, and some even peed their pants.
The reality was not a story told by bards. There were not many mortals in the world who dared to go against a god, especially when this god was one of the most powerful gods. No one dared to disobey Sui Xiong. Therefore, even though they were very unwilling, the leaders of the merchant party and the aristocratic party could only stay in the conference and slowly negotiate.
Sui Xiong did what he said. He locked them up in the conference hall. Not to mention going home to sleep, even eating, drinking, and defecating had to be done in the meeting hall. They were not allowed to step out.
Winter was over, and spring was coming. The weather was getting warmer day by day. A large group of people gathered in the meeting hall. Even eating and drinking could be brought in from outside, and defecating could be carried out in a bucket. However, bathing was impossible. When this meeting hall was built, no one thought that there would be a day when they would need to bathe in it.
Dirty clothes could be removed by changing clothes or even using magic, but there was no way to think about the dirt on one's body. As the days passed, the big shots in the assembly hall became dirtier by the day. Gradually, everyone's bodies began to stink. They had gotten used to the smell and didn't realize it, but everyone who entered from the outside would feel dizzy from the stench of the hundreds of people. Later, some people even vomited as soon as they entered the door, vomiting so much that even their bile came out.
At this point, the Goddess of Wealth also felt a little uneasy. He advised Sui Xiong to give these people a few days off so that they could at least tidy up and wash away the stench on their bodies. However, Sui Xiong was not moved in the slightest and directly rejected this matter.
"I'm a man of my word," he said. "I'm in this business, and I'm in it for a result. If they can't come to an agreement, then they can all die from the stench inside! "
Since he had already said so, no one could dissuade him anymore. The leaders of the merchant party and the aristocratic party gave up. But how could negotiations come to an end so quickly? Both sides had long reached the point where they were ready to fight to the death. There was really no room for compromise or negotiation on many issues. No matter how anxious, how worried, how much they wanted to get out, they refused to give in.
The leader of the aristocratic party, one of the two Marquises, once said, "Even if I die in this meeting, don't expect me to give in even half a step! At most, we will all die together! "
In contrast, the attitude of the merchant party was a little more relaxed. After all, the merchants were not as stubborn as the aristocrats, or rather, they were softer in temperament. They did not learn from the aristocrats and stubbornly held on to the end. As time went on, they gradually began to give in.
Once the beginning was made, things were easy to handle. The aristocrats had the upper hand in the general situation, and did not mind giving in a little in other aspects. This negotiation gradually went on the right track.
Naturally, what happened in the assembly hall could not be hidden from Sui Xiong. Seeing the merchants give in again, he sneered in his heart and could not help but think of Professor Cheng's comments.
The group of merchants was actually very weak. Although they were crazy enough in the face of benefits, when it came to long-term hard work, they often retreated. Therefore, in the world that could complete the basic construction and lay the foundation for future prosperity, there was not a single country that was completely controlled by pure merchants.
At that time, a classmate was dissatisfied and asked, "If the merchants are weak, then why is it that the merchants have eliminated the aristocrats?"
Professor Cheng laughed and said, "It is not the merchants who have eliminated the feudal system, but the people! The merchants are weak, which makes it easy for them to yield to the aristocrats and give in to the people. Therefore, they naturally have more support from the people than the aristocrats, and finally eliminated the feudal system. Is it strange? "
"If the power of the people is so strong, why are there still so many problems in our lives?" Someone else asked.
"Bastard! Do you think that progress falls from the sky? " Professor Cheng laughed and scolded, "You don't know how many people's efforts and how many twists and turns are needed to push forward a little bit of progress. It took the ancient apes hundreds of thousands of years to evolve into human beings, and it has only been a hundred years since the feudal system was eliminated — and many places have not even been eliminated. Are you so anxious to realize the Great Harmony society? The reality is not a story, and without some black technology like infinite energy, we will never see the Great Harmony society in this life … Maybe it will be possible in a few thousand years. "
Looking at the situation in the conference hall, Sui Xiong thought of what Professor Cheng had said, and his heart brightened.
It was too slow to rely on scientific and technological progress to promote social progress. Should he focus on cultivating more progressive forces so that they could grow faster until they could defeat the ruling aristocrats and realize a new era?
If he needed to cultivate, what kind of forces should he cultivate?
The working class? The world had not developed to a comprehensive mass production, and the number of working class was not enough. Even if they wanted to sing "We workers have power", there were not many people, and the song could not be loud.
The peasant class? From his impression, the peasants in this world were even weaker than the merchants. Not to mention that they would not rebel as long as they had food to eat, even if they had no food to eat, most of them would only run away and did not have the courage to rise up.
The merchant class? Sui Xiong really had no confidence in their cowardly behavior.
After thinking about it, he still could not think of a suitable candidate, and could only secretly shake his head.
It seemed that the degree of social development was still not enough!
