Chapter 686 (1/2)
Hearing ello say such words, the cheese, which was already a little sleepy, lay down directly on the next bed and said, ”call me again when you're finished. I'm sleeping now!”
Instead, the other members next to continue to maintain the rhythm of completely understanding one by one. One by one, they all stare at their president as if they were looking at a fool.
Well, in fact, the others are all right. Instead, it's su TA. The paladin who has just come to the guild for a few months now has a little pity in his eyes, in addition to the look of a fool. If you don't worry about arrow's gender identity, arrow thinks that this sister will directly burst out of maternal love and come up to hug herself.
”Well... To put it more simply... The problem in this town is not that the taxes are too high, but that the magician has magic to make the land here fertile. But these townspeople have no such ability. In order to continue to reap a good harvest and not to give up their original property in this town, they have to stay here and obey the requirements of the magician mayor. ”
This explanation is more or less useful. After holding his chin, cream said, ”I understand the president's meaning, that is to say, these townspeople are willing to obey the magician for their own money and income, right?”
Arrow smiled, nodded gently and continued, ”they are willing to be 'exploited' by the magician because they can't make the land here fertile by themselves. According to their reaction, compared with the previous farming income of the magician mayor, the 50% tax levied is still in the range they can accept. Therefore, the matter itself becomes very unsolvable. ”
The president raised a finger, smiled at the corners of his mouth and said in a very relaxed tone: ”from the current situation, you may think that the magician mayor is like a parasite, parasitic on so many people in this town. But in fact, on the contrary, agriculture, the most critical economic foundation of the town, is parasitic on the mayor. ”
”Just because these agricultural income almost completely depends on the mayor's magic, it is impossible for them to resist. If the magician mayor is expelled, their income will not increase, but will decline rapidly. In this way, who wants to make his life more miserable? ”
Hearing what Ailuo said, cocoa seemed a little unconvinced. She pouted her cheeks and looked unhappy. Margo on the other side raised her hand, gently patted the little girl on the head, smiled and said, ”isn't it cool? It's not the first time you know this theory of our president. What's wrong with it? ”
Cocoa shook off Margo's hand and said with a little stubbornness: ”brother president, it's not that I don't believe you. It's really angry! If, as you said, the farmers in this town depend on the fields sorted by the magician to get more income, on the contrary, the magician can't plant so many fields by himself, can he? The farmers themselves play an important role in the growth of these crops! If we really want to make use of it, it is only half a kilo and half a kilo for both sides. How can one side parasitize on the other side? ”
At this moment, ello really felt that the little necromancer of his guild would become a very great man in the future.
Originally, a child who has the affinity of the Necromancer's magic can still grow up without deviation, which itself is very good. Now she has such a strong sense of justice... Uh huh, I really want to know what a respected necromancer will look like~~~
”Coco, when you get to Hanhai City, I'll take you to meet my teacher.”
Cocoa was slightly stunned, and the resentment on her face seemed to be a little confused about where to vent.
Arrow continued to smile and said, ”I believe my teacher will like you very much. During the period of our competition, you can also learn more from the teacher, which will be of great benefit to you. ”
The little girl shrunk her neck slightly, blushed slightly, and answered softly, ”that... Thank you... President brother...”
With the same smile on his face, arrow continued, ”well, now answer your question. They planted it clearly. The mayor just turned the ground by magic. Why can he become the mayor, collect so many taxes, and squeeze the townspeople of this town by his own strength? ”
”The answer is very simple. The difference is that his magic is irreplaceable. The labor force of farmers is very easy to replace. ”
”To put it more simply, if all the farmers in Xueyan town go on strike, do not engage in production and do not participate in the cultivation of any crops, the mayor can change another group of people to come to Xueyan town to work. At that time, as long as the tax for them is a little lower, I believe many farmers will be willing to come here to cultivate. ”
”But on the contrary, if the mayor doesn't exert magic on the land here, these farmers have no place to find another land magic affinity to increase the yield of the farmland here.”
”The magic that can increase the yield of farmland is what I just called 'production tools'. Unfortunately, this means of production is now in the hands of the mayor, and only in the hands of the mayor. Other farmers have no way to grow anything after leaving this production tool. This is the real structural contradiction in this town at present. It's not a tax, it's not a bullying of men and women, and it's not a force that oppresses the innocent people here. ”
”It is the most irreplaceable production tool. At present, it is only in the hands of one person, and others can't take it away, so they can only fall to the ground and be oppressed, that's all.”
After such a detailed explanation by arrow, the members who are generally not highly educated finally understand the real problem.
Arrow also gave these members some time to think about the problems carefully. After they finally figured it out one by one, cocoa's face began to show some despair for the first time.
”Brother President... Is there no way to change this kind of thing? A magician with magic can suppress completely ordinary people... Is there any measure that can be changed for such a thing? Can't we drive the mayor away and then change someone to be the mayor... Or let them go to the magic store to buy magic scrolls about the earth and show them by themselves? ”
Arrow smiled and said slowly, ”in this case, the situation still hasn't changed. People here still need to rely on magic to get a good life. As long as this does not change, they will always need the help of the magician, which means that even if they change the mayor, they will not be restrained by the magician from other places. ”
Having said this, ello thought a little and continued: ”in fact, I think the situation in Pelican town is good. Most of the situation is because Pelican town is remote, poor and has nothing worth producing, so those magicians are too lazy to go so far to make money. However, you see, as soon as the economic situation of Pelican town begins to improve, members of the Royal magician Association will come and use their methods to provide far more brightness than ordinary oil lamps can provide. This is the difference between magicians and ordinary people. This difference in ”production tools” will further lead to the complete inequality of the materials produced by the two sides. There is no way. ”
After hearing this, Brad looked a little depressed now. The big man lowered his head slightly, looked at his toes and said, ”then... There is really no way to change this situation... We can't let all ordinary people have magic... This itself is unrealistic...”
Originally, arrow was a little happy to see the members give up now. But seeing that Brad, the most simple big man, was so helpless now, he couldn't help but curl his mouth. After thinking about it, he could only do so.
Yes... The difference in power itself leads to a huge gap between the power that magicians and ordinary people can create.
Even ordinary people become adventurers after training, but if they want to become more powerful adventurers, they must need some equipment with strong magic. Unfortunately, if these magic equipment can be traced back to their roots, they can also be traced back to those magicians.
Therefore, people who are naturally able to have magic affinity are how much favored by the creator God of the world? As a result, from the moment they were born, they left ordinary people far behind
...... Well, in fact, when you think about it carefully, it seems that this gap is not completely irreparable.
But... Oh, forget it. Let's put this idea on hold for the time being. After all, I haven't finished my own business yet. Where can I think of other things.
When everyone understood, arrow nodded gently, and the smile on his face bloomed again. He clapped his hand and said with a smile, ”well, since everyone understands, that's it. Our ox cart may not arrive until the evening. Before that, everyone will have a rest - ”

Just when ello was going to stop the conversation, suddenly! A burst of rapid footsteps rushed up the broken stairs. After a while, I only heard that the door of arrow's room was pushed open! The girl named milk was panting, holding the door frame and standing in front of the crowd.
”Please... Please...”
Before ello could ask, the girl's face was full of nervous and flustered tears and shouted out——
”Please! Help coffee! I don't want him dead! I absolutely... Don't let him die! ”
With the girl's almost desperate cry, coco and Margo, the most sensitive to magic in the guild, immediately raised their heads and looked out of the window as if they sensed something. But after a short second, they immediately looked back and looked at arrow.
Arrow breathed out a little and waved, ”go, but don't make things stiff.”
