Chapter 396 Little Things(1/2)
Hell, inside the body of the Ancient of Days, Hilerius.
"Well, now that this year's routine Q&A has been completed, I will leave first." Lu En saluted the other kings and then teleported away.
Immediately afterwards, he began to dress himself up and put on a dress that was not only beautiful but painful.
Carla was helping, while Julfale and Vicino were causing trouble.
When Vicino, the curious boy, asked for the third time why the gem refracted, before Julfale, the troublemaker, broke the sheets and set them on fire, the upset Carla threw them both out of the room.
Now Julfale was freed. She cheered, fluttered her wings and jumped out, flying to catch the frog.
Vesino trembled and huddled at the door, leaning against the door, his fleshy body curled up into a ball, thinking about why he made his mother angry? Is it because of his sister? Or because of himself?
But he didn't think about it for too long, because Julfale flew back immediately, grabbed his brother, and shouted: "What are you doing squatting here? Come over and help me pull them out, and I'll give you half of them when they're roasted!"
After all, he was still a child, so Vicino didn't hold back for long and soon went to catch killer frogs with his sister.
After all, it’s actually quite delicious…
The swamp around the hell camp is the back garden of the two little dragons. In addition to frogs, they have also successfully learned to swim in the mud and fly and fight. After all, they are black dragons. They actually like the swamp environment.
, it’s easier to let go here.
Kara finally let out a sigh of relief as she finally threw the two solid little dragons out to play by themselves.
To be honest, although the children are already over ten years old, they can now fly freely without falling, and their bodies have begun to grow gradually.
They will enter adolescence from infancy around the age of thirty. At that time, they will not be the size of puppies now. During adolescence, their bodies will develop rapidly, from cute meat dumplings to tall horses.
It grows in size, begins to grow sharp claws and fangs, and its scales become thicker and harder, truly possessing a combat capability of level 4 or above.
"Very energetic, isn't it?" Lu En said with a smile.
He knew how painful it was for Kara to raise a child, especially since these two children were not easy to worry about. Forget it about Julfale, it could only be regarded as an ordinary noisy. It could only tear up a wardrobe and tear out a bed sheet, or at most, spray fire and blow up the kitchen.
, generally speaking, it is still under control.
But Lu Yue, also known as Vicino, gave Carla a headache. He had a bunch of questions in his head every moment. Although he didn't make a fuss, when he pestered his mother to ask questions, Carla could get "Natural History"
3" and "Knowledge 3", sometimes it is difficult to answer those questions, but he likes to ask questions, so we can't let him stop asking, right?
Therefore, Kara once painfully chose to carry a magic book and the Great Master's Natural History with her, reading and checking them at any time to satisfy Vicino's "little curiosity".
In fact, Lu En was quite happy watching from the side. He usually didn't like to talk to anyone. Kara, who had always had a cold face, looked very cute when she had a splitting headache due to the child's torment.
However, the children didn't kiss him very much.
It is normal that he spends too little time with his children. He spends most of his time running around. In order to ensure the implementation of the plan, he needs to go around, negotiate, make decisions, and plan. Most of his time is spent on
Thinking.
He doesn't dare to relax, and he doesn't have the right to relax. I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions of people below who will be affected by every decision he makes. They take every step with trepidation, walking on thin ice, and have no time to deal with their feelings with their children.
Therefore, they are very close to their mother, but they are very reserved when facing their father, especially Vicino.
Maybe... this can only be left to make up for later.
At least now, he doesn't have time to relax.
Kara quickly finished dressing him up, glanced at the water plant, and asked with some worry: "So...are we going to the Imperial Capital now?"
"The water plant has been completed. It's time to go back and report." Lu En looked at Kara who was tying her bow tie, touched her head, and said.
Eight years have passed, the regulatory law has been passed, and everything is complete, just waiting for the final blow from the Styx Water Plant.
What is this blow?
It's very simple, it's prison ice.
When the prison ice returns to the city, even the farmers who moved to the city because of the regulation law will lose their bargaining rights. Like the workers, a large part of them will become "useless".
At that time, most people in the empire will lose the only things they rely on for their livelihood due to the dual application of "industry" and "magic technology".
Since the combination of industrial labor and agricultural labor that existed before has been disintegrated, the forms that were once broken down into small plots of land have all disappeared, the land has been concentrated in the hands of the state, and small farmers have been squeezed out by the competition of the dominant large farmers.
The petty bourgeoisie went bankrupt together with the workers who had previously lived a moderately prosperous life.
Small farmers were no longer landowners or tenant farmers as they had been in the past; they were forced to abandon their farming and work as farm laborers on officially designated farms in the empire.
Although their new situation is worse than in the past, it is not bad. After all, the growth of the industrial population and the development of industry are in step with each other. Although some people continue to fail in the competition, a rapidly developing industry can quickly
Within a short period of time, all these people who gradually come to the city will be absorbed.
But——, in the final analysis, professionals working together with the assembly line can only be said to be the prototype of a real “industry”.
After the supply of prison ice is restored, when magic machinery truly participates in industrial production, that is the truly terrifying moment, when the terrifying beast of "industry" opens its fangs.
How scary is it? Let’s put it this way——
In another world, humans experienced hundreds of thousands of years in the Stone Age before finally entering a slave society.
After living in the slavery and feudal era for four to five thousand years, we entered the first industrial revolution.
Then... the industrial revolution began. Two hundred years later, the progress made by mankind exceeded the sum of the previous hundreds of thousands of years of progress. The explosion of technology and productivity instantly destroyed all the patriarchal clans and traditions in the past, ushering in a rapid transformation of the times.
, at a staggering speed, it directly defeated and tore the pastoral songs into pieces, and the entire society moved forward at a rapid speed.
And in this world, there are preparatory preparations such as professionals and magic machines——
Once the real industrial revolution begins, Lu En doesn't even dare to imagine what the world will look like. It will be a... real, destructive era. Everything in the past will disappear, and everything in the past will be lost on the industrial side.
Bow your head before the giant beast and give in to it!
Lu En even began to pity the emperor. The limitations of the times made him expect stupid people to destroy religion?
But Lu En knows! It’s not necessary at all!
Once industry really starts to make progress, any religion, any organization, and even the empire itself will become a thing of the past and become the dregs left behind by the advancement of the times!
At that time, it was the time for him to take action, the day when his nearly thirty years of hard work finally exploded.
The empire cannot be overthrown by force.
The only thing that can subvert the empire is the irresistible wheel of the progress of the times.
When the wheels are rolling down, all traditional resistance is like a mantis trying to stop the wheel.
Soon, the continuous improvement of production machinery no longer allowed industry to fully absorb the surplus labor force from agricultural areas.
From then on, poverty that was only seen in factory areas will become widespread in agricultural areas.
At that time, agricultural areas will become the birthplace of chronic poverty, and factory areas will become the birthplace of chronic and cyclical poverty.
However, before that, there is still something to be done.
"Debriefing report..." Carla looked even more worried.
Because she knew that after the debriefing was over, the Styx Water Plant could start construction, and not long after that... everything planned by the man in front of her would explode, and the peaceful life would be over.
It had only been twenty years. This kind of life was too fast and she couldn't bear it.
However, she won't stop him.
"Then, I'll leave, and the children will be left to you. Livia's side... you can go there more often if you have time. Don't contact me during the time I'm in the imperial capital." Lu En smiled.
He smiled and did not show any worry. On the contrary, he looked very confident.
"Well..." Kara nodded.
"Look, they are still catching frogs." Lu En pointed out the window.
Kara turned around and looked through the open window. She immediately located the two little dragons.
They are trying new tactics.
Because the killer frogs are not weak, they have an average combat power of level 1. They need to formulate tactics and use the environment to successfully catch them.
After watching for a while, she turned around.
The person who was standing next to me just now has disappeared.
The person in front of me disappeared.
Because teleportation is very convenient, allowing him to leave without pushing the door.
"Alas..." A sigh came.
She has become more and more sentimental recently, but she can't control it.
Hope, everything is fine.
————————————
One day later.
In the imperial city of the imperial capital.
Groups of strong men, approximately a thousand people, each raised a horn as high as a person and sounded the prelude to the ceremony.
The loud and majestic sound penetrated the entire imperial capital, causing the ground of the entire imperial capital to tremble slightly under the influence of the sound waves, like an earthquake.
The church's top chanter, the Saint, sang a high-spirited song. Although the beautiful melody was not harsh, it miraculously suppressed all the surrounding instruments.
The long tone penetrated the sky, with majestic momentum and beautiful timbre. Like a pipe organ, the majestic and majestic pitch spread along the air to dozens of kilometers around the imperial capital.
To be continued...
