Chapter 2162 Big Pit
"The war will end this year." The Magic Emperor and Ye Jian walked on the ridge of the field in the countryside and said this confidently.
Ye Jian didn't know what to say except admiration, but he was always thinking. Since he became independent in the White Night Magic Eye, he knew that it was impossible to make the world a better place by magic alone, so he had to think about his position. He was the right-hand man of the Magic Emperor and couldn't just be a reckless man, but also had to think about the future.
"It's food." Ye Jian said, looking at the working people who were plowing in the spring, he understood what the Magic Emperor said.
It's food. Even the Magic Knights need to eat, but since they started to lower the price of food last year, they have not collected food on a large scale. By this year, they are afraid that they will have nothing to eat. The situation in the city will definitely get worse. If it is delayed until the end of this year, I am afraid they will be in chaos.
"Yes, it's food. I don't expect their food reserves to last long." The Magic Emperor still knows very well: "So in the harvest season, they will definitely counterattack, and it will be very crazy. At the same time, many citizens in the city will escape, and they will understand the evil of the magician more."
Ye Jian can already foresee how miserable the people in the city who can't eat are. If possible, I really don't want to fight, but this war must be fought. If they are soft-hearted, they will fail: "I hope the citizens can hold on. As long as we win, everything will be better."
Because using magic to swing a hoe only looks awesome, but in fact the productivity is very weak. So when the plow appeared, the whole world has changed dramatically, and these are just the beginning.
Now the Magic Emperor has mastered the vast rural areas, and also occupied the food. As long as he stabilizes, he is not afraid of the enemy's counterattack. Even if the enemy has a city wall, he still can't survive without food.
This is productivity.
Now the Magic Emperor is unwavering in Duran's statement, and he is more and more eager to develop more powerful production tools to make people's lives better.
But at this time, some people put forward the opposite opinion. If productivity is really so good, why would war happen?
In fact, it is still a human problem in the final analysis. Unfortunately, some people are unwilling to admit it and like to find external things to blame.
In the face of these doubts, the Magic Emperor promotes education to let everyone understand that productivity is a good thing, but it also depends on how people use it. Just like some people use magic to protect peace, and some people use magic to destroy peace. Magic can be used for production and can also be used to start wars. For those who like to blame productivity, the Magic Emperor will first educate them. If they can't educate them, they will starve for three days.
Productivity has increased, people are fuller, and they pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the chopsticks to curse their mothers. It is quite shameless. Starve for a few days to see if he still has nonsense.
Of course, after encountering these problems, the Magic Emperor also established his own management team according to Duran's advice, allowing more fearless young people to be leaders and let them go deep into the countryside to accumulate experience.
There are trivial disputes in the countryside every day, and it takes great wisdom to resolve these disputes. In fact, managing a place is to make everyone satisfied, which is the same as dealing with disputes in the community.
Of course, it can't just rely on one mouth to talk, there are still certain rules, so laws are inevitable. It is definitely not enough to rely on peasants to make these messy laws. Those nobles who have surrendered will come in handy. Of course, the suggestions of peasants cannot be ignored.
To be honest, what the Magic Emperor is most worried about now is how to balance, how to keep the peasants original heart, and how to prevent the nobles from reviving. It is really too difficult. Once the peasants come to power, they will easily be corrupted by the world of flowers and the nobles seem to bow their heads now, but it does not mean that they are unwilling to restore.
Duran knows very well that it is precisely because of this that an outstanding leader and a perfect law are needed. There is no perfect system, no perfect morality, only the determination of the executor.
Although the victory is in hand, the Magic Emperor is still worried, and even Duran can't help him with these problems.
Because the huge organizations or countries that Duran established before were of course thriving when Duran was there, but if someone else came to power, no one could say whether they could continue to maintain it.
Although many people think that expecting a wise monarch is the so-called slavery, the position of an outstanding leader is irreplaceable, and of course the same is true for an excellent system.
Excellent systems can make organizations more tolerant of mistakes, so if the leader is unreliable, at least the system can be used as a buffer.
Now the Magic Emperor has to play the role of a leader, and at the same time he has to find a way to create a more complete and fair system, which is really laborious. Fortunately, the military is handed over to Ye Jian, so he is still very relieved in this regard.
The work is getting heavier and heavier. The Magic Emperor has begun to make arrangements for the country after the victory, and others have also gained confidence in victory from these arrangements. But some speculators began to want to make huge profits from the victory. After all, the Magic Emperor is an idealist, but not everyone is the Magic Emperor. More people still help the Magic Emperor because it is profitable.
The Magic Emperor also has to guard against these people, and it really feels more tired than before. In the past, he only needed to know who the enemy was, but now many people cannot be simply called enemies. Many people do help, but they have problems with their thinking and may do something unfavorable in the future.
For such people, the Magic Emperor really hopes that they can change, but it is the nature of most people to care about gains and losses. After all, ideals cannot bless them to eat and drink well. They don't want to leave their names in history, they just want to get rich, which is the problem of meritorious officials that has troubled countless dynasties.
In fact, in Duran's view, such people can fully meet the requirements, but the price is to give up all rights. How much resources they invest can be returned tenfold in the future, but they should be at ease to be a rich man, and don't think about becoming a new noble. If you still don't agree, then you are worthy of death.
"It really gave me a difficult problem." The Magic Emperor only realized that he had jumped into the big pit dug by Duran. The other party just moved his lips, but he was facing an unprecedented change in the Clover Kingdom, full of unknown problems waiting to be solved, and mistakes could occur if he was not careful.
The Magic Emperor felt that his brain was about to overheat: "I'm just a human, not a god." So many things, and important decisions related to the overall situation, are really too difficult to handle.
Duran said that the Magic Emperor performed very well at this time, because he was decisive, listened to suggestions from many parties, and was decisive when it came to making choices, not afraid of being criticized.
The Magic Emperor is only a human being, he cannot be perfect, his ability is limited, his knowledge is limited, all he can do is make the best decision at the moment, as for the future, it will require others to continue to develop on the basis he has established.
