When Zhao Ling heard this, she thanked her father respectfully on the surface, but at this moment, he was very divided in his heart. The problem of cheap father was only one of them. The most important thing was that he knew that the other party was a fierce ghost.
However, Zhao Ling did not feel uncomfortable with the cheap daddy's arrangement. He was considered a relatively responsible nobleman to be able to arrange a way out for a mere illegitimate child.
"I have prepared two paths for you, one is a more traditional arrangement, and the other is a new and unknown way out. Do you know anything about these?"
Zhao Ling knew that this was not only a question but also a test. If the illegitimate child was unable to support himself, no matter which path he took, he would be compromised.
Therefore, Zhao Ling recounted the memories in her mind. The so-called traditional arrangement was a common way out for illegitimate children in the past hundreds of years.
The traditional path is to send those who are stupid to the countryside to become knights, and those who are smart to be sent to the Holy See to become bachelors. Basically, they can have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
However, the Holy See of Gaia has been at peace for more than 600 years. As the problem of too many monks and too few monks has become more and more serious, these roads have now been occupied by the descendants of the nobles, and it is difficult to provide them to illegitimate children.
Unless this illegitimate child is an illegitimate child of the royal family, and is a relatively favored child, but Zhao Ling is only the child of a small or medium-sized noble, so obviously he cannot expect to take this safest path.
For the era that Zhao Ling lives in now, there are still two traditional ways out for favored illegitimate sons of nobles.
The first one is to become a steward of other nobles. After all, he is more or less a noble, and has received a relatively systematic basic noble education, so he can be used relatively safely in the noble circle.
The second is to become the president of a certain chamber of commerce in name. The reason why I say name is because the actual affairs of the chamber of commerce do not require the intervention of the so-called president.
The main responsibility of the president is to act as the door god, so that the demons, ghosts, and snakes from all sides will look at the nobles' face to some extent, and they won't be embarrassed and see all the bones and dregs being wrung out for you.
In fact, for all relatively large chambers of commerce nowadays, the current presidents are basically inextricably linked to the nobles, and only this kind of chamber of commerce can successfully develop and grow.
Of course, the price is the profits of the chamber of commerce, most of which are used as tribute to the nobles, or to deal with the joints of various parties, and the soup is eaten by the actual management of the chamber of commerce, and the bottom employees can only make a living at most.
This looks like kneeling down to beg for food, but many people have no chance to kneel down even if they want to. If there is an illegitimate son of a nobleman who is willing to be the nominal president of the Chamber of Commerce, it must be the blessing that the Chamber of Commerce has cultivated.
Basically, this kind of reputation only lasted for the first generation. After all, many illegitimate children were raised by nobles, but the relationship between the descendants of illegitimate children and the nobles was alienated.
Therefore, in the traditional path, the direction of nurturing illegitimate children is to make them the actual management of the chamber of commerce, replacing those whose bloodline is further away from the nobility.
Then as time goes by and their heirs become estranged by blood, they will gradually fall down from the management position, until they become chamber clerks and even ordinary civilians. At this time, they are basically the same as civilians.
The above paths are traditional ways out for noble illegitimate children, but since Zhao Ling, the cheap father, mentioned a "relatively new way out", it obviously does not mean this one.
Seeing Zhao Ling discussing the way out of the illegitimate child from the distant past to the present, his cheap dad also nodded with great satisfaction, he was quite satisfied with this child.
So under the introduction of this cheap dad, Zhao Ling learned that a conference that might have changed the world situation happened some time before he traveled through time.
More than 600 years have passed since the Great Migration of the New Era. As the population of the southern world continues to grow, various social conflicts have become more acute.
In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, scholars were keenly aware of this phenomenon and expressed their concerns. The population continues to increase while the land remains unchanged. This situation is destined to be impossible to maintain for a long time.
Based on this concern, discussions were triggered in the academic circles. Various strange ideas were born at that time. The relatively normal one was to control births. Considering the administrative control power of the Holy See of Gaia, this is not completely impossible. arrive.
At the extreme end, we should use force to artificially reduce the population of the southern world to ensure that it is always within the capacity of the land.
Of course, the most feasible and least feasible method in these discussions is to disperse the excess population through immigration.
After all, although the south where the Holy See of Gaia is located has reached its capacity limit due to the population explosion, don't forget that more than half of the world's land is still vacant, and that is the northern land that is scornfully called the sinful territory by the Holy See of Gaia.
Since the Great Migration that occurred during the demise of the Old Era, the entire Northland is still in a state of rare human presence, with only some barbarians not under the control of the Holy See of Gaia active in the area.
But they basically only carry out hunting and gathering activities near the mountains, as if they were restricted by something, and would not go too deep into the depths of the North.
Therefore, in theory, there is a natural place for immigrants, and there is no need to implement any family planning plan for the entire population, so it is called the most feasible solution.
But this is also the most unfeasible solution. Just like different civilizations have different political correctness, the political correctness of the Gaia Holy See is to belittle everything in the old era and the correctness of shaping the Great Migration.
Since everything in the old era needs to be belittled, how can the Northland, which was once the core of the old era, allow the local civilization to re-develop?
Therefore, this most feasible and least feasible plan was only discussed privately among scholars in the end, and no one dared to really submit it to the core area of the Gaia Holy See.
After all, it is just a concern raised by scholars. It will be hundreds of years before the population problem actually occurs. Anyway, it is not something that scholars of their generation need to consider and worry about.
So time was spent fishing for generations of scholars. They all knew the most effective and simplest method, but due to the political correctness of the Holy See of Gaia, no one dared to actually propose this plan in the meeting.
When the time came to the New Calendar of more than 600 years when Zhao Ling came, the conflict between man and land in the south had developed to the point where there was no need to delay. Anyone with insight knew that if this continued, sooner or later someone would appear in the south and blow up everyone. Big problem.
In response to this, the Holy See of Gaia itself could not sit still, and through private channels, it released some politically correct rumors to all political parties, that is, the plan for immigration crimes is not undiscussable.
It was first openly discussed by scholars in private meetings, and then private propaganda was carried out in public places. None of them were severely cracked down by the Holy See of Gaia as in the past. This is undoubtedly a signal worth pondering.
Of course, although the Holy See of Gaia has sent out a signal, not just any cat or dog can jump out and say that we should immigrate to the criminal territory to alleviate the current conflict between man and land in the south.
Therefore, in the 640th year of the New Calendar, Princess Jingyao Ai Xia formally submitted the proposal to the Gaia Holy See meeting for discussion. This was the big event that Zhao Ling had mentioned before.
