Chapter 298 (1/2)

Victor only knew that Donne was the messenger of God, but he didn't know his mission.

He just wanted to return Ilus to the peak of glory with the help of Donne's identity as the son of destiny.

And what about Donne?

What he had to do was to save the world, and Victor made a very good impression on him - such an enlightened emperor is rare.

Why is he conscious?

Because as an emperor, a person with vested interests can even dare to change his life for the future of the country. How many people can do it?

Is this awareness not high enough?

So don doesn't mind giving him a hand.

In any case, his support for himself is indispensable for his smooth development in Ellington.

In fact, if Victor needs it, Donne is even willing to provide him with a large number of armor and weapons made of universal alloy steel.

Although the light but durable armor and weapons are comparable to artifacts in the eyes of Ellington guard, they are just backward cold weapons in the eyes of Donne.

Although it is impossible to reproduce the thermal weapons on the earth on prandal, we can find a way to make magic weapons.

So Donne never took those armor weapons seriously. When the production capacity increased, those things were as cheap as ordinary household tableware.

Taking this opportunity, Donne and Victor talked again about the important relationship between liberating agricultural productivity and national development. The ideas and theories that Donne came out at random opened Victor's eyes. They had never heard of the theory that productivity determines production relations and social form.

Primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society? And even a communist society where everyone is equal?

If these words were spoken by others, Victor would think he was crazy, but when they came out of Donne's mouth, he had to pay attention to them.

A communist society in which everyone is equal... Is this the kingdom of God?

”You say that now our social form has crossed three stages: the end of slave society, the middle of feudal society and the early stage of capitalist society... Is this possible?”

O'brie frowned: ”how can we have three social forms at the same time?”

”Of course.”

Donne was also very helpless, but this is the fact: ”because of you... Er, I mean, the change of social form in our world did not evolve through bloody class revolution.”

”You mean...”

”In the period of primitive society, our ancestors were created by the gods, enlightened and formed a human society. With the departure of the gods, mankind gradually began to produce private ownership, and in this process naturally entered the slave society, and slaves became a symbol of wealth.”

”The end of slave society was actually the early stage of feudal society. Slave owners were transformed into feudal landlords and enfeoffed lords, while slaves were gradually transformed into tenants and people under the rule of Lords. There was no obvious transition between them.”

”But feudal society is different from capitalist society. This transition will be accompanied by a large number of slave uprisings to resist class struggle and obtain complete personal freedom. At the same time, businessmen also began to strive for trade freedom and greater voice -”

Speaking of this, Donne showed a strange smile: ”but at this critical time node, the chaotic invasion war broke out, the external pressure completely disrupted the natural process of our human society, and mankind united against foreign enemies as never before.”

”When the foreign enemy was repulsed, mankind formed a United Kingdom - that is, our Ilus Empire - this transition and reunification was too sudden and smooth. Foreign invaders not only forced mankind to make a unified choice, but also transferred internal contradictions, and the unresolved contradictions were extinguished.”

”Therefore, the present human world is a mixture of three social forms. Of course, as I said, with the further improvement of productivity, slaves will soon disappear completely, because at that time, slaves can no longer represent more productivity, but consume a lot of food, and no one will be willing to support those slaves -”

After a pause, Donne said in a deep voice: ”except for female slaves, it will take a long time if we want to disappear naturally unless we legislate to completely ban slavery.”

Slaves will not disappear so easily. As long as there is demand, female slaves will still exist, which is an unavoidable problem.

Not only Victor, but also those ladies present know that this is a very normal thing at present. The male master plays with the female slave, and even the female master won't say anything, because they don't treat the female slave as an individual at all, but treat them as property and possessions.

Victor sighed: ”although the slave trade is rare now, legislating to ban slavery will still touch the interests of many people -”

”Unless...”

”Unless?”

Donne smiled. ”Unless you're going to use their power.”

Victor o'briar Adrian was stunned and used the power of slaves?

”Wait!”

Princess Aurelia looked at Donne with a creepy face, and Fiona exclaimed, ”Lord, do you mean -”

”That's right.”

Tang en snapped his fingers: ”If you want to make a complete turn with the aristocrats, you can release this news. Even if the slaves do nothing, the aristocrats who keep slaves at home are not confident. They will certainly send someone to watch or supervise the slaves, which will inevitably consume part of their energy. Just release a news, you can obtain unimaginable advantages. Why not Why? ”

Oberli was surprised. As Donne said, just releasing a message can consume the enemy's limited energy and make them afraid. If this happened in the case of the confrontation between the two armies, they would have too much advantage!

Oberli and Adrian looked at each other and said cautiously, ”Your Majesty, it's best to write it down. Maybe we can really use it in the future.”

Victor said solemnly, ”of course I understand.”

After taking the parchment scroll and writing down the plan, obery looked up and down at Donne.
