Dak's head dropped slightly. After a short pause, he breathed out again and said slowly——
"But I think I might be more suitable for this task. Therefore, I still took the task, and then came here one step ahead. But unexpectedly, in order to avoid all of you, I was a little late... "
All the "stories" have an ending here. The cream next to him obviously felt that there was something wrong with the "story". He opened his mouth and just wanted to open his mouth——
"Ah, I see. President dak didn't attend because of illness before, so everyone won't notice your hand in heaven and your hidden mace. It's really best for you to perform this task ~ ~ "
However, before the cream spoke, the president of the family expressed his trust in the "story" for the first time. Not only trust, but also add some reasonable inference.
Seeing what arrow said, of course, there was nothing to say about cream. He had to shut up and stop talking.
It was dak who looked a little nervous, but when he saw that arrow now completely believed in himself and was full of a smiling face, he couldn't help but relax a little and nodded gently.
"How do you feel now? Can the body still move freely? "
Arrow took a bite of the dry food in his hand and said in a very relaxed tone——
"Also, the dry food of our guild may not be as delicious as yours, but you don't even taste it. It's too embarrassing for me?"
Dak was stunned. Then he remembered the piece of dry food he still had in his hand. He quickly stuffed it into his mouth and bit it. Some debris fell. He quickly covered his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he nodded gently and said with a smile: "thank you, President ello. Physically... I feel much better. There is no pain. Moreover, your dry food is not so bad. It's much better than the dry food made by our guild cook. "
Then he took another bite, nodded and said with a smile, "crisp but not loose, sweet but not greasy, salty but not oily. Originally, I thought this kind of dry food would make me thirsty easily, but now it tastes like it doesn't feel thirsty at all. I really envy you for recruiting such an excellent cook. "
Cocoa's nose turned into the sky in an instant. The silly girl put her hands on her hips. When she was about to say something, arrow suddenly said, "the farmers in poor villages have changed from owner farmers to farm workers."
His voice is very natural, but it reveals a little determination and sensitivity in nature.
This serious voice sounds a little uncomfortable to dak. After all, from before to now, the president arrow he knows is always smiling and not so serious.
But now, when he looked at ello, his face was full of doubts.
"President dak, do you know what will happen when the owner farmer becomes an employee farmer?"
There was some doubt on dak's face. He thought about it, shook his head gently and said, "I don't know... What are you talking about? What farmer? What farm worker? What does that mean? If you are asking me about knowledge, I may be a little ignorant... "
Dak's face was puzzled, and most of the faces of other guild members did not understand.
So far, the serious expression on arrow's face was still not relieved. After a little thinking, he continued to say with this solemn attitude: "self-employed farmers are those who own their own land and completely rely on their own labor for their annual harvest. Those who work more, those who work less get less, and those who don't work can't. They only need to provide a small part of the grain they harvest every year to the royal family, and the rest is all their own. They can use this food to sell, and the money they get from selling can buy other things to improve their lives. In other words, their fate can be completely in their own hands. "
"But now they have become farm labourers. The land under their feet no longer belongs to themselves, but to the big landlords who are about to obtain these deeds. From now on, all their labor is no longer for themselves, but for these big landlords. Because they can continue to work here because they are 'employed'. In other words, the amount of remuneration they can only receive depends only on how much money the future landlords of these lands are willing to give them. If the landlord's conscience finds that he is willing to give more, it's OK, but what he fears most is that he may not be able to save even one tenth of his grain from paying only one tenth of his grain. "
"This completely depends on whether the future owners of these land leases are 'great good people', that is, their current status as farm labourers."
At the end of arrow's voice, his tone was flat and firm, but there was nothing that could make people sound comfortable or happy.
He didn't laugh.
That kind of smile, like a signboard, always hung on his face, but now there was not even the last bit left.
In the face of arrow's insipidity, all the guild members around fell silent. After a long time, Margo finally couldn't help saying, "the owner farmers also depend on the weather, right? If you encounter a bad harvest year... "
"As the president of mermaid song, if the business of mermaid song is good, I will give you one tenth of your task income as bonus and salary. This amount is definitely lower than that of other guilds, because many other guilds should be one fifth. If President dak is his own guild, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to get more than half. "
"But if the business of mermaid song is bad, I won't give a penny to my guild members. Even if you are so important to me, I know I must be nice to you and give you more bonus. But I am a person who holds the capital. I naturally hate the loss of money in my hands for no reason. I hate that my money will not bring any benefits under the condition of continuous reduction. When I open my eyes every morning, I feel a sense of impatience for no reason when I think that there will be many fixed operating costs to consume today. "
"Do you think I'm a good man? Well, I think I'm a good man, too. "
"But even for a good man like me, I can't control my idea of not giving you money and letting you live and die when business is bad. What do you think is the probability of praying that these farm workers will finally meet a great good man? "
ELO's words are really cold.
But even after listening to such cold words, cream and others felt that these words did not seem to be for themselves, but rather for the light in front of dak light.
With arrow's words, dak's face also showed some confusion. He frowned. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "these things... I haven't considered... I haven't learned from books..."
Not angry, ello continued to say in that cold and calm words, "of course you won't learn, because these things are not written in the book, but through my teacher's enlightenment, and then I think about the conclusion."
At this point, the sadness on dak's face became more intense. He gently shook his head, and his beautiful eyes were full of uneasy feelings: "in other words, you guessed it yourself? These are just your own guesses, aren't they? And... Even if you said so much, these farmers did borrow so much money. And those big landlords and financial institutions did lend them money? Isn't it natural to owe money? President arrow, what are you trying to say? "
What are you trying to say?
Arrow didn't know what he wanted to say.
Indeed, he thought of these things himself. Because for farmers, owning land will have unlimited possibilities. Once the land is deprived, they have no assets and can only survive by working for others. Since they work for others, how much money others are willing to give them only depends on each other's attitude.
But even if you understand this, what's the use?
What does all this mean?
As dak said, these villagers did borrow money and wrote down the loan receipt willingly. Even, they are a little cunning and borrow money from different institutions. From this point of view, these villagers themselves are synonymous with cunning, disgraceful, obscene and dirty.
Their cunning and concealment cleverly deceived those gentlemen who were willing to lend them money, and hurt the interests of those decent gentlemen.
From this point of view, these farmers are really not poor, but there are some hateful factors.
So
What is the purpose of what I just said?
In my heart, why do I always feel that there is a very difficult barrier, but now even ello himself can't confirm where the barrier is and how to cross it
"Ah... Sorry, I may be a little sensitive..."
Finally, arrow's face smiled again. He shook his head gently and said——
"I'm sorry to make President dak laugh. So what are you going to do next? Go and get the rest of the title deeds? "
Everyone was a little relieved to see that ello returned to normal again.
