However.
After reaching an agreement, for the sake of the company's future and his own interests, Elvin also gave a kind reminder to the Marquis.
Because in this era that was no longer based on agriculture, whether it was a kingdom or a noble's fief, if they wanted to develop, they had to attract capital to invest in various industries, and then use the chicken to lay eggs to achieve their own take-off.
Therefore, it was necessary to use the story of the Kingdom of Ilia as a lesson and take measures in advance to avoid the great merchants who controlled a lot of wealth. To be more precise, the capitalists would rebel and seize power!
At present, if a capitalist with extraordinary influence wanted to form, there were two conditions, and the Far Sail Territory had or was about to have them.
First, there must be a large number of free workers without the means of production, such as farmers who had lost their land. Under the premise that all the land in the Far Sail Territory belonged to the Marquis, all free people except slaves belonged to this category.
The second was to concentrate a large amount of means of production and monetary wealth in the hands of a few people and transform them into capital (capital or property used for investment and profit, which was the general term for various social and economic resources used by humans to create material and spiritual wealth).
The process of creating these two conditions was the process of primitive accumulation of capital, which was what the kingdom and the Far Sail Territory were doing with all their might.
In the previous agricultural era, limited by the total scale of land, it was difficult to invest the output into industries and turn it into capital again.
But the steam engine achieved a leap in productivity and could create wealth with unprecedented efficiency. The output was constantly transformed into new capital (more steam engines, production lines, factories), and then created more value. This was the economic "compound interest".
"The economic foundation determines the superstructure" was true, at least in the material world.
Capitalists with huge wealth inevitably demanded equal political power. This was human nature, and it was not based on personal will.
Who would ask for this power? Of course, it was the current ruling class.
The power of wealth was reflected in the erosion, desire, and control of power. It was impossible to guard against.
However, although capitalists were powerful, international bankers were even more powerful.
Manipulating a huge amount of capital could even determine the rise and fall of a country. Even now, when industrialization had just begun, there were already signs of this.
A typical example of this was the Nederland banking group.
Bankers established banks, then took in public deposits and paid interest. Then they made profits by investing in industries and distributed the profits to the depositing public.
The investment process allowed the bankers to unknowingly infiltrate multiple industries.
Bankers and capitalists were dependent on each other. In the current economic and political system, it was easy for them to gain enormous and deep influence. They could even seize the lifeline of the country and compete with the real rulers.
Even in the world of Transcendents, where the kingdoms and churches strictly controlled the peak forces, as long as there was no problem with this, they would not be able to overturn the current ruling structure.
However, it could substantially affect the direction of the material world!
This was because they were different from the superhumans who were high and mighty. These people truly used the thinking of mortals to represent their ideals and interests. They gathered the power of millions of people to challenge the superhumans.
From Katarov's Death Portrait, Elvin had learned that there was something called the "Tide of the World," and even the high and mighty true gods had to give in.
Grasping the context of the world, or at least the mortal world, Elvin naturally knew that the increase of productivity and the industrial revolution was one of the world's tides, and no one could resist it.
However, as a member of the vested interests of the existing power system, Elvin naturally had to take precautions in this budding period of capital to prevent it from being used by some clever people to become the master of this country.
Whether it was the education he received in his previous life or the innate class attribute in this life, Elvin did not have a good impression of them.
Capital, which pursued profits by nature, might be more cannibalistic than feudal kings. At the beginning of its birth, it had to be reined in to prevent it from becoming a monster that devoured the world.
It could not be stopped, but it could be guided!
Elvin also proposed a solution: full private ownership must not be implemented, especially in the field of people's livelihood.
Although the marquis and his advisors did not fully understand for the time being, it did not matter. Crown Princess Levina, who was far away in the mainland, did not quite understand either.
The future was long, and Elvin would let them understand the benefits of this top-level design bit by bit.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
Elvin's sailboat braved the wind and waves, and slowly sailed away from the Far Sail Harbor.
The only regret was that.
Although they had achieved a significant business cooperation, Elvin did not see Miss Olivia of the Aimor family, who might also have the "adventurer's blood", until he boarded the returning sailboat today.
He also could not confirm whether she was "the same kind" as him.
As for the interaction with Marquis Far Sail, Elvin did not feel anything unusual about him.
In fact, he did not know how other families who might also have the "adventurer's blood" behaved in their daily lives.
But it was not without gain.
Today, after meeting the powerful Marquis who was proficient in gemstone sorcery.
With that inexplicable sense of familiarity, Elvin instantly connected it to an important piece of information that he had analyzed previously.
The time zone where the glowing girl lived in in the real world might be near him, and she was also proficient in gemstone sorcery!
"That Miss Moonlight Stone who had obviously just advanced into an official sorcerer, could she be the Olivia that I have not been able to meet?"
There was a vague guess in his heart.
.....
A few hours later.
Elvin, who had finished changing, had returned to Hatrapha Harbor, which was not far from the Far Sail Harbor.
At this time, the most valuable slave among the spoils had been turned into shares of the "Mercury United Trading Company".
This was his own possession, and of course, he could not share it with his subordinates and let them become shareholders of the company one by one. Instead, he became their wage earner.
He was prepared to use his own little treasury to compensate for the Golden Lions that his subordinates deserved and make up for the deficit of this transaction.
Elvin had plenty of cash in his hands, so he could still afford to pay such a small sum.
In addition.
Although the disposal of the previous spoils and the defense of the base had been basically completed.
However, there was one more important thing that Elvin had to do here, and he could only do it in his own territory.
"Zenaro, Paca, have you two made a decision?"
Elvin, who had changed into a robe, asked the two Arawak guides who first joined the pirate group, Zenaro and Paca, in his laboratory.
Ten years ago, when they were driven out of their homeland by Shilius, the Orca totem pole of the Arawak tribe was cut off, and the Shaman Sorcerers of the clan were also wiped out.
It could be said that the roots of the tribe's spirit and belief had been cut off at that time.
As a result, Zenaro and the others, who had not obtained the totem engraving at the age of 14, had to learn the Ceci's Curved Sword Technique that was passed down among the pirates.
After such a long time, the young people of the Arawak tribe who grew up later, although they still maintained the belief that all things had spirit, in fact, they did not have a strong obsession with the original Orca totem pole.
Only the belief of avenging their ancestors supported them, otherwise, they would not have learned the "Ceci's Curved Sword Technique" from the civilized world.
To be able to maintain the independence of the Arawak tribe, the continuation of the fire was already the best result.
Therefore, Elvin only slightly mentioned the concept of the "Tree of Life" that created all things to them, and Zenaro and Paca had already accepted it with joy. They were even a little eager to try it out.
This was because they interpreted and understood the "Tree of Life" with their own native worldview of all things having spirit.
They believed that the concept of the "Tree of Life" encompassed all natural spirits and was closer to the spiritual origin of the New World than the three main gods worshipped by the three great empires of the New World: the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan, the Sun God Indi, and the High God Omodkutli.
"Sir, please give this power to us. The reason why the Arawak tribe still exists is to avenge the Shilius on behalf of our ancestors!
The fact that we can obtain the power from the 'natural spirits' from you is the guidance of our ancestors. "
The two of them knelt on one knee, their faces full of determination and holiness.
Previously, Elvin had already perfected the totem engraving system with the help of the "Data Analyzing Vision," such as the corresponding main human body parts, functional divisions, meridian system, stress response, and so on.
As well as the magical fundamental runes represented by different natural spirits and finally integrated them.
With the Constitution Rune "cons" and the Balance Rune "libr" as the main body, the Agility Rune "mobi" and the Strength Rune "impe" as the branches, and finally, with the Thunder Rune "mea" that belonged to the three-eyed man that was subsequently excavated from Posedia City in the spirit world, the final integration was carried out.
Hidden on a "Tree of Life Totem" that covered the entire body, a new profession of "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" was created.
Using the "Tree of Life" totem of the "Activation School" to replace the mysterious direction of the natural spirits, the myths and legends of creation and the knowledge accumulation of countless years of wizards gave it a corresponding concept.
However, this was not only a totem engraving, but also a prerequisite for cultivating the [Rapid Thunder Sword Technique].
This was because each core rune engraving was also responsible for a part of the additional work, assisting the transcendents in transforming the electric light of the vitality magnetic field into an instinct of the body.
Actually.
Before deciding to engrave the two of them, Elvin had already found other "volunteers" to carry out the "Primitive Totem Warrior Replication Experiment", "Single Rune Access to the Tree of Life System Experiment", "Multiple Runes Tree of Life Experiment", "Electro-Optic Engraving Transformation Experiment" …
The pirates they used were all captured by "Iron Bones" William. They were notorious pirates who pursued the principle of killing and plundering. They were like lunatics.
Some of them succeeded, and some were directly distorted into terrifying monsters.
However, without exception, Elvin directly destroyed them after the experiment.
Moreover, after every corresponding ritual, the mysterious Tree of Life, as the mysterious source, would instinctively make a certain correction to the runes that Elvin artificially collected, and become more and more compatible with the system of the mysterious source of the "Tree of Life".
Two days ago, the transformation plan was completely mature. After eliminating the possibility of death, disability, and loss of control, this was the first time Elvin experimented on his own people.
Even if the strength growth of this profession did not meet expectations, it would not prevent them from continuing to walk the orthodox path of Knight.
Seeing their actions, Elvin no longer hesitated. He took out a bottle of green magic potion and said to them:
"Good! I have seen your determination. Zenaro, go first, drink the potion! "
The native warrior Zenaro stepped forward and took the potion that Elvin had concocted, and drank it without hesitation.
