Although the battle just lasted for less than a second, and the witch was killed instantly, there were still extraordinary people from various major forces who noticed this scene. It would be better to say that they had been paying attention to the whereabouts of this witch from the beginning. Although the understanding of the whereabouts is not as clear as that of Lan Nuo, major sects and official forces have corresponding diviners, and they can roughly guess in which area the witch will attack.
And what the people they sent to follow saw that a demigod was killed instantly in less than a second. This is undoubtedly a shock to the major sects.
A demi-god-level existence, in this era of declining extraordinary power, can also serve as a bishop-level existence in any orthodox sect.
You must know that there are only a few existences beyond Sequence Four, even among Zhengshen sects. On average, the average number of strong men at this level in each sect is around thirty, although they will definitely include some saints. , angels are more powerful existences, but demigods are still the core force.
And such a being was instantly killed in less than a second, and even the following extraordinary people didn't even know who made the move. At most, they could lock on a sniper, and the opponent was an ordinary person at most. He has one or two items on his body that are similar to alchemy tools and can enable long-distance communication.
After this information was passed back to the three major churches, the current high-level leaders of the church made a judgment that there is an angel in the Mohist family, or at least has a close connection with an angel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be like this. Kill a demigod instantly in a short period of time.
With this understanding, both the three major sects and the royal family chose to rationally give up interfering with the workers' march.
Regardless of whether this sect is a cult or a relatively friendly secret organization, having an angel standing behind it means that it cannot be easily provoked. Moreover, from the perspective of the church, what the Mohist family is doing is beneficial to them. Although the royal family does not think so, It is really impossible to spare the power to stop it, so we can only sacrifice the power of the nobles.
On a certain level, sacrificing the power of the nobility is beneficial to the royal family. People who understand history can see that the power of the royal family and the power of the nobility often conflict with each other. When technology is not developed enough and education is not yet developed, In an era when the power was not widespread enough, all the imperial power could do if it wanted to defeat the nobility was to borrow power from the common people. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States era, this was called promoting the virtuous and selecting the virtuous. This is how scholars like Wu Qi who were not born into the nobility rose to power.
Backlund's royal family actually has the same needs on a certain level. In the original work, Xiao Ke proposed the civil service examination system and it was quickly adopted. On the one hand, this examination system satisfied the needs of the Black Emperor. One of the ritual conditions. That is to say, during his time as emperor, he introduced some strange decrees and introduced some laws that were completely different from the previous era.
On the other hand, this does help the emperor strengthen his rule. Take administrative power away from the hands of the nobles. Cultivate enough grassroots administrative staff. This will strengthen centralization.
Civil servants have no foundation. All the rights of civil servants come from the grant of imperial power. They are not like nobles. They have land, people, factories and industries. They can listen to the instructions but not the propaganda. They must obey the emperor's orders, otherwise as long as one Paper documents can make them nothing, so this decree has the support of the royal family.
At present, although the members of the Mohist family cannot be civil servants, after they organized, they mainly targeted the nobility. They have always paid taxes, and they have not made any radical remarks such as overthrowing the emperor. They have pointed the finger at everyone. They are those factory owners and nobles who are rich and unkind. This is a perfect help to strengthen the imperial power. Therefore, although they see certain potential dangers, after the Mo family has enough strength to gain a foothold, the royal family also They acquiesced in pursuing their own interests.
So the pressure came to the factory owners. More and more workers joined the demonstrations. Backlund's industrial production almost came to a standstill. Without workers, no matter how advanced the machinery in the factory was, it would not be able to produce. Products are produced, but some people are unwilling to do so.
"Why should we raise their wages and improve their treatment when they cause trouble? Once this is opened, these greedy untouchables will think a second time or a third time, even if the factory is losing money, they will never do it. Maybe this is the opening.
They are just a bunch of untouchables who need to eat after all, so I don’t believe they can’t consume him! Aren't you just preparing a month's worth of food? No matter how much food I have, can I still have as much money as I do? Spend it! After a month, when those untouchables have no food, I see how they will continue to go on strike. They will all starve to death by then. The conditions are not just open to me. If I give them half of their previous wages, they will also have to get out. Return to the factory.
This group of untouchables can unite together. There are even fewer of us, so why can’t we organize together and reach an agreement? Contact other factory owners and hold on during this time! Nothing can be done to allow this group of builders to take advantage of us. We have built an industry with our own wisdom, and we have opened up sales by working hard in dangerous colonies. Why should we give Holly to these untouchables? "
Although this is a relatively extreme idea among factory owners, at this stage, similar ideas did dominate the mainstream. After colluding with each other, they decided to establish an unbreakable alliance and resolutely resist workers' strikes. To fight for profits, we must use up the last grain stored in the hands of the workers. At the same time, we should contact the grain merchants in the city and ask them to raise the price of grain while giving them compensation. They will eat as much grain as they come in, leaving no room for the Mo family. One cent.
"You let us eat food at a high price, but food prices will definitely drop in the future. The compensation you give is not enough to make up for my losses." The interests of the merchants are not unified, and the grain merchants also have their own interests. My own opinion.
After hearing what he said, a gentleman in a tuxedo smiled and said: "You are worrying too much. Have you forgotten? The Mo family is actually very rich, and they earned this strike with their own money." Money is organized, then you say that if these untouchables on strike run out of food, and we bite them to death and do not agree to give them a wage increase, who will they turn to to buy food if they want to continue to support themselves?
Aren’t we still going to find you in the end, and then the price won’t be at your discretion? How about it? Isn't this enough to compensate you for your losses? Regardless of the next grain, at what price will you eat it? In the end, they can be sold at least at double the price. When the last golden pound of the Mo family is squeezed out, these greedy workers will have to go back to their workstations. Cooperation would benefit both parties, wouldn’t you say? "
This statement successfully impressed the grain merchants, and after their mutual negotiation, no matter how much grain was sent to Backlund in the future, they would accept it all. Cut off all possible sources of food for the Mo family.
…
At the Mohist headquarters, the intercom in Lan Nuo's hand rang: "Hello? The investigators reported back information that the local factory owners were prepared to fight to the end and contacted the grain merchants. During this period, they collected all the goods that entered Backlund at a high price. How about not letting us buy a single grain of grain and starving us to death in a month? Is Mendel prepared?"
"Let me help you contact Mendel. It may not go well with him. He only has one month. He wants to improve crops and is not something he can do now. After all, he is still just a cultivator. At least he needs a biologist. It's easier to do this kind of thing.
But... doesn't Bernadette owe us a favor? There is a biological genius on board her apprentice, the pervert who wants to cross beef cattle with wheat. If Bernadette can convince his apprentice to lend us this person, or find us a job as a biologist. Magic potion, within one month, it should be possible to complete crop improvement and increase production. Under normal circumstances, it will take more than a month for the crops to be harvested, but if certain improvements are made, the growth cycle should be shortened, and by the end of this month Complete crop yield increase and harvest.
We have reached an agreement with local farmers before. When we opened up agricultural trade transportation channels between towns and suburbs, local farmers had a good impression of us. We believe they are willing to cooperate with us in crop improvement and early harvesting. If planned If we succeed, we might be able to make a fortune from the grain merchants. "
…
On the Dawn, Bernadette heard the prayer just after being promoted. She didn't expect that the other party would need her help so quickly. However, after hearing that she needed help, she didn't show any embarrassment. This kind of thing is really a trivial matter. For the being who has now become an angel, it is just a matter of convenience.
"In the warehouse of Element Dawn. There is a copy of Druid's Extraordinary Characteristics, which contains all five sequences from Cultivator to Druid. It can be given to them directly, but since the results are to be produced in a short time, then I'm afraid it's too late to absorb and digest the magic potion, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask Cattleya to lend her crew for a period of time." After several contacts, Bernadette had some recognition of the Mo family's credibility, so she was willing Send out your own personnel.
Soon, Cattleya, the Star Admiral on the Future, received a communication from his teacher. Everyone thought that he had broken up with his teacher, but in fact, they did not know the relationship between him and his teacher. Look. They seem to be master and disciple, but in fact they are closer to mother and daughter. How can they be broken off easily?
"Anyone wants to ask Frank Lee for help?" Cattleya was a little confused about this request. Even the Harvest Goddess Church couldn't accept this crew member. It was because of his famous experiment of grafting beef cattle and wheat. He was considered a heretic by the Harvest Goddess Church and was tied to the stake and almost burned to death.
To be honest, with his thinking, even in the 21st century, he would probably be burned at the stake by those who oppose genetic modification. Even people who can view genetic modification technology rationally would probably not How many people can tolerate beef-flavored wheat?
"Ah? There is a biologist who wants to invite me to collaborate on research? That would be great. Finally someone recognizes my talent. I am currently doing research on how to squeeze milk out of mushrooms. I hope you can cooperate with me. People can accept my ideas, I really need someone’s help now.”
Cattleya: "..."
The Star Admiral was a little worried that she had made a wrong decision. As one of the Seven Pirate Generals, she had always believed that the most dangerous person on the Future was not the captain, but the man on the ship. biologist.
Unlike other extraordinary people, most of the extraordinary items created by extraordinary people will gradually lose their extraordinary power after leaving them, and eventually become ordinary items, unless they contain extraordinary characteristics.
But biologists and the sequence's subsequent existence tell a different story. It's like people who are in the Universal Order sequence can create powerful firearms, and these weapons made of conventional materials can also be used by ordinary people, and will not lose their effectiveness if they are away from them.
The species improvements carried out by biologists will retain a considerable part of their characteristics even after they are left. The mushrooms planted by Frank Lee in the original work are types that can grow normally without him, even if they are completely taken care of by ordinary people. Planting without any problems.
And if biologists have a brilliant mind and create some weird and dangerous plants, at least it will cause species invasion, and at worst... it may be a biochemical crisis. At least the star general does not feel that he has the ability to cause such a thing. scale disaster.
"Ahem, after you go, try to be restrained. Try not to express some of your shocking thoughts. You were almost burned to death before. What thoughts should you know? You may be beaten to death on land, even if The person who hired you this time is a force allied with us. If you tell all your thoughts, it will be difficult for me to guarantee your safety." Cattleya estimated that if the other party knew all of Frank Lee's ideas, even if He belongs to the orderly and good camp, and I am afraid that he will sacrifice this crazy biologist with the mentality of eliminating harm for the people.
"Okay, I will try to be more restrained. For example, the idea of making mushrooms produce milk will be changed to a hybrid between coconuts and cows. Doesn't it sound more normal?"
Cattleya: "..."
She felt that her persuasion might be meaningless. She could only pray that the psychological endurance of her partner this time was high enough, and that her crew would not be so desperate that they would be beaten to death. The hybrid between coconuts and cows is better than mushrooms. How strong is it!
