v5 Chapter 94： Bait (1/2)

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Sevigny immediately reacted. The reaction he had just made was a bit too intense, and his expression could not help but be awkward.

”No... don't misunderstand. Xu also, I don't like Fryia, I just... I don't think they are suitable.”

Xu also looked at Sevigny suspiciously, not quite convinced of her explanation.

Of course, he would not misunderstand that Sevigny would not like Frya, but that Sevigny’s reaction was too abnormal, which made him a bit strange.

Feeling the suspicion that Xu also projected, Servini's face looked even more awkward, and opened his mouth, but did not give further explanation, but paused and shifted the topic.

”Xu Yi, how is your abolition of slavery in the Principality of Constantine?”

This transfer topic is too blunt, and even after I stayed for a while, I reacted.

He glanced at Servini deeply, took a breath, and gave up and continued to pursue it.

The origin of this child of Servini is very strange. Until now, she refused to announce who is the father of the child. Obviously, she has her unspeakable secret.

As a friend, Xu also can't force her to tell the secret she wants to keep.

”Oh... not so smooth. The lords of the public are reluctant to turn their slaves into civilians. They feel that this will make them lose these slaves and suffer losses.”

”This is for sure.” Servini nodded. ”Xu Yi, actually... I also think that your approach this time is too... weird...”

Xu Yizheng looked at the words of Sueveri’s words and thoughts. She thought that she really wanted to say that she was crazy, but she did not say anything.

”Slave has been on this continent for so long. You want to abolish it directly. This is tantamount to challenging the order of the entire continent. The lords who have slaves can never agree with your idea. You are Stantin can be enforced in the country, but if it is changed to the Kingdom of Lampari, there is absolutely no possibility that this proposal will be passed in the Royal Parliament.”

”If you are coming to implement it?” Xu also asked tentatively.

”The best end of our Lampari family is probably to give up the throne.” Servini replied in a positive color.

Xu Yi thought for a moment and nodded silently.

”Actually, Xu Yi, I am afraid that you are very clear about the consequences of this? Otherwise, your actions in Standin will not be so anticlimactic, you may not be like a person who will do only half of the work.” Servini asked again.

Xu Yihehe smiled: ”Well, the pressure and opposition are relatively large, so I decided to suspend it, not eager for a while.”

Sevigny is beautiful: ”So I don't understand. Why do you want to do this? You know that this thing is very difficult, and it is not good for your new flying business association. Why do you have to ignore the opposition of so many people? With pressure to push this thing?”

”No, this is quite good for our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce.” Xu also shook his head. ”Sevenini, have you seen the report in the Lampari Weekly?”

”The report written by the Secretary of the Henas, about your release of slavery is the liberation of productivity? I have seen it, and I have seen it more than once.” Servini said. ”I admit that you make a lot of sense. Hiring slaves as workers does not get the best work efficiency, and may even affect the quality of the products. But slaves can't get good results when they are doing complex work. It’s okay to just let them do simple work. Anyway, slaves don’t need to pay them a salary?”

”Even if you don't fully understand what I mean. Then expect others to understand that it is obviously impossible.” Xu also shook his head and sighed: ”All of you have not understood a truth. The slave is similar to the livestock for you. No. What is special value. But for me, they are still living people. Since they are human beings, they have the most basic learning talents of human beings. So even if they are slaves, they still have the possibility to improve their own abilities. Simply treat it like a livestock.”

”What do you mean... you intend to let these contacts the identity of these slaves, and then let them receive training and education, and train them into skilled workers?” Servini asked with amazement. ”Is it worthwhile to invest so much in slavery?”

”Why not?” Xu also asked. ”Sevenini, ask you a question, how many people are there in the Kingdom of Lampari now?”

Severini stunned, and did not expect Xu to suddenly bring the topic to this.

After thinking about it, she replied: ”I have just counted the statistics when I first got on the throne. At that time, the total population was about 6.4 million.”

”Does these people not include slaves?”

”Yes. Slaves are not counted as civilians, so they are not counted in statistics. However, according to local conditions, the total number of slaves in the kingdom is about three million.” Servini replied.

”So can you tell me how much of the 6.4 million people in the Kingdom of Lampari are the actual labor force? And how many real labors are there in these three million slaves?” Xu also asked .
