When Fangzheng arrived at the cafeteria, he saw that all the students were already there, but they were not eating. On the contrary, almost everyone was sitting in their seats, staring dumbfoundedly at a corner of the cafeteria. There, white plates had been piled up like a mountain, and the number was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. On the other side, the food that was also piled up, enough to feed the whole school, was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the culprit of all this was the dignified and elegant red-haired nun sitting at the dining table.
"Uh … What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, the corner of Fangzheng's eyes twitched. He looked at Towa, who was beside him, and the latter explained helplessly.
"It's like this. According to the chefs, Lisi came to the cafeteria and asked if there was breakfast. Of course, we said yes …"
In order to ensure the supply of meals, Fangzheng's cafeteria adopted a buffet model similar to that of a five-star hotel. Basically, there was always a choice of food from breakfast to dinner, with only a short interval in between to prepare the next meal. After all, Fangzheng also wanted his students to eat and drink well. He couldn't let them suffer in this aspect, could he?
"So?"
"Then Lisi swept away the breakfast we prepared, and by the time she finished her breakfast, lunch was already ready, and then … .it became like this."
"… Didn't she just eat breakfast?"
"Uh … .according to Lisi, she had breakfast, but she hasn't had lunch yet …."
"…."
Was she born in the year of the ox? Did she have three stomachs in her body that digested the three meals of the morning, afternoon and evening?
Fangzheng silently looked at Fina, who smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fangzheng. My sister is good at everything, but she gets hungry easily …. When she was a child, she often sneaked into the kitchen to find food because she was hungry …."
Is this a problem of getting hungry easily?
"So what's the problem now?"
Fangzheng held back his ridicule and looked at Towa again. The latter was also speechless.
"There aren't enough ingredients …. Because the cafeteria has limited funding, so …."
"… Let's double the cafeteria budget."
Fangzheng pressed his forehead speechlessly. Of course, the expenses of Semuria School were paid by Starlight Technology. However, in order to ensure the financial audit, the daily expenses were basically fixed. Originally, Fangzheng had set the budget based on the total number of staff, teachers, and students in the school, with each meal serving 50 people.
But now, it seemed like this nun could eat up the food for 30 people all by herself.
Fangzheng finally understood why Miss Nun had always been calm, but why he always felt that she was unreliable.
Fortunately, this was just an interlude. After that, everything returned to normal. The next day, Fangzheng also brought a dozen students for a small meeting. After explaining the rules here to them, he patted his butt and left. Next, it was up to the girls to make their own choices.
As all of Semuria School's knowledge base was actually on Fangzheng's side, he decided to fully develop them morally, intellectually, and physically. He split all the major subjects into civil and martial subjects. This was actually similar to the liberal arts and science classes in middle and high schools. Each had their own emphasis.
For example, the focus of the liberal arts class was on politics, economics, and technology, while the martial arts class was more focused on actual combat, training, and tactical skills research.
Therefore, it was up to the girls to choose.
Soon, after a day, Fangzheng received the class allocation application form.
The main members of group A, which was the liberal arts and science class, were: Princess Elfin, Emma Millstein, Miao Yigaret from the Erebonian Empire, Louise from the Remiphilia Principality, Allein Aucrell from the Calvard Republic, and Tida Russell from Libel. There was also Kiya, Ling, and Tio. They were all here to chase after Tida, so they naturally went wherever Tida went.
The main members of group B, which was the martial arts class, were: Laura S. Arsaed, Emma Millstein, Altina O 'Brien, and Alice Schwartz from the Erebonian Empire, Leah Mao and Allein Aucrell from the Calvard Republic, and Lisse Argent from the Seven Luminaries Church.
Well, it wasn't that there was a mistake. The truth was that Emma Millstein and Allein Aucrell were planning to study both civil and martial arts ….
But these two did have excellent grades, and Fangzheng also knew that Emma was a witch, so she was definitely not weak in terms of combat strength. As for Allein …. Although Fangzheng was not familiar with her, he still approved it with a wave of his pen. Let's wait for the actual combat test. If it really doesn't work, then he'll persuade her to quit.
The one who surprised Fangzheng was Alice Schwartz. After all, he thought that as Princess Elfin's best friend, Alice would choose liberal arts and science like Elfin, but she actually chose martial arts …. Out of curiosity, Fangzheng called Alice over and asked her. Only then did he understand what she was thinking.
When the Empire's civil war broke out and the aristocrats invaded the capital and occupied the capital, the aristocrats also sent troops to suppress the Saint Astrite Women's Academy where Alice and Princess Elfin studied. After all, it was an aristocratic women's school, and the children of aristocrats were basically the children of aristocrats from all over the country. In order to threaten the other aristocrats to stand on their side, the aristocrats naturally occupied the school.
Therefore, after that, Elysie became a hostage. Although she had thought of escaping or resisting, she was helpless. Back then, Elysie was also very worried about Princess Elfen. It was only after Fangzheng defeated the Flaming Demon City and the retarded mecha that she returned to her original life after the Imperial Capital was liberated.
However, this civil war was a huge blow to Elyse, so she wanted to hone her skills to protect herself and the people around her. Moreover, Elyse wasn't a defenseless girl. Although the Schwartz Family wasn't as powerful as the Light Swordsmiths Arsaed Family, she still learned swordsmanship and her strength wasn't bad.
Since it was not a rookie's hot-headedness, but the result of careful consideration, Fangzheng naturally did not ask any more questions.
After the subjects were assigned, the students finally ushered in the official class. The first class that Fangzheng taught was … … the relationship between productivity and class.
"… … The first thing we need to know is that classes are the product of economic relations, the product of production relations that correspond to a certain productivity, and the different social groups that are produced by economic relations."
Fangzheng patted the dust off the chalk on his hand and looked at the girls sitting in the classroom.
"I know what you want to hear, but I can tell you that no system is eternal. Just like the Conductive Revolution, changes in productivity will also lead to changes in class, thus producing a new class and order — — that is, a new system."
"Productivity … …?"
Elfin tilted her head in confusion when she heard this word. Fangzheng chuckled and explained.
"That's right, productivity. It's actually very easy to understand. Let's say you're a farmer. The amount of crops you can grow on an acre of land represents your productivity. For example, if you're a farmer, the amount of crops you can grow on an acre of land is only enough for your own survival. This represents your current productivity. However, productivity would change. You see, we gradually learned to use fertilizers and improved tools, as well as grain seeds. In this case, not only would the harvested portion of the crops be enough for your own survival, but you could also exchange the surplus. This was the increase in productivity. When you have extra property, you hire others to help you work, and you enjoy the fruits of their labor. You see, that's how classes are born. "
Speaking until here, Fangzheng clapped his hands.
"You've all studied history, so you should know that there used to be slavery and serfdom in the Semuria Continent. But in fact, it wasn't as simple as the so-called 'evil' or 'barbaric' system, because under the production environment at that time, this system could liberate productivity to the greatest extent. However, this system was not unchanging. Looking back at history, it could be seen that with the continuous development of productivity, all kinds of tools were created. For example, the emergence of horse-drawn carriages and conductive trains represented the further liberation and development of productivity to the greatest extent. At that time, the original class system couldn't bear the burden and might even be overthrown. “
As he spoke, Fangzheng glanced at Elfin, who was taking notes with a serious expression.
"Let's continue with my previous example. You're a farmer. You rely on advanced production technology to obtain surplus production materials, and you rely on these production materials to obtain other people to produce for you through trade. In terms of class, you're the slave owner, and the other party is the slave. However, with the continuous growth of productivity, the treatment of slaves will also change. In the beginning, they were willing to endure your whipping because they needed to work hard to get three meals a day, and under the production environment at that time, productivity could only give them this much.
But with the growth of productivity, the treatment of slaves will also change. From the beginning, they will not have enough clothes to cover their bodies and food to fill their stomachs, but they will have clothes to wear and three meals a day. They will also have surplus production materials that belong to them. At that time, conflicts will arise …. The upper class wants to deprive the lower class of production materials to maintain their living standards, while the lower class doesn't want to go back to the past, so they will naturally revolt. "
Speaking until here, Fangzheng pointed at Elfin again.
"In fact, the current Empire's civil war is a very good example."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, not only was Elfin surprised, but the others also perked up. After all, what Fangzheng said before was too far away from them, but the Empire's civil war had just ended!
"In the final analysis, the reason why the aristocrats rebelled is that they want to maintain the ruling interests of the existing class. But since the Conductive Revolution, the increasing development of productivity has made the people of the Empire unwilling to maintain the original state. They desire to obtain higher space for advancement. Because of this, Prime Minister Osborn and the Reformist Party formed a force to compete with the aristocrats in the Empire. Because they represent the expectations of the people of the Empire, the aristocrats saw this, so they tried to rely on seizing power to maintain their position. History moves forward. "
"But, Mr. Fangzheng."
Miao Jie raised her hand.
"The aristocrats do have great power, and they also have the help of powerhouses in the realm of Truth. In my opinion, it's impossible to overthrow the aristocrats' rule by relying solely on the power of the people."
"Hahaha, that's not the case."
Faced with Miao Jie's question, Fangzheng chuckled. In fact, he thought so at first, but after traveling through so many worlds, Fangzheng had formed his own set of theories.
"Indeed, the strong are very powerful. For example, those idiots in the Society. They occupied the imperial capital with only a few people. But there is no contradiction between the development of productivity and power itself. The development of productivity is a historical, natural, and irresistible process. It's like a person growing up from a young age and then dying of old age. This is the law of nature. No matter how powerful you are, all you can do is kill the growing person.
You can never change the fact that people will grow up and die of old age. This is the law of nature that no matter how strong you are, you can't go against it. "
"But Mr. Fangzheng …."
This time, it was Elfin who raised his hand.
"Is this the only way? Is this the only way … .to change things? "
"I won't say this is the only way, but conflict is inevitable. As I said before, you've become a slave owner. You have a happy life, and you need your own slaves to maintain your life through the means of production. But now, they are unwilling to continue working for you. They also want to have the same means of life and production as you. This will cause a loss to your interests …. Of course, it may be different for individuals. Of course, from the perspective of the interests of the entire class, since the change of productivity will cause damage to their interests, they only have two paths to take. They can either maintain the status quo and do their best to suppress it, or they can choose to accept the change and keep pace with the times. Of course, the latter sounds great, but in fact, how many people are willing to spend so much effort and effort to change if they can earn money while lying down? Isn't the same for the aristocratic party? Why can't they coexist peacefully with the Reformist party and even take the initiative to change themselves? Because the Reformist party isn't eroding the interests of a single noble, but the interests of the entire aristocratic class. If they accept this change, it means that the entire aristocratic class will have to undergo a change, and it will cause a lot of losses. So what do you think is the possibility of them coexisting peacefully? "
"This …."
Elfin couldn't help but shut his mouth and fell into silence.
The other people in the classroom also began to ponder.
