Banner of the Evil God

Sui Xiong was very arrogant, but he did have the capital to say so.

Don't forget that not long ago, he had just blocked a true god at home for several months.

Although his blocking tactics did not achieve the expected effect, and the goddess of love was moved by Carissa's infatuation and changed her mind, if he had not blocked the door for so long, how could the goddess of love pay attention to Carissa and then discover her specialness?

It can be seen that the blocking tactics are still very effective.

Even the gods are afraid of blocking the door, so how can a group of mortals not be afraid?

So Sui Xiong abandoned the unfinished fortress and went straight to the meeting place of the Great Council.

He did not waste time talking to those mortals. He directly spread out countless tentacles and brought all the great nobles, powerful nobles, big merchants, heads of medium and large chambers of commerce, etc. to the venue. Then he said coldly: "I will help you gather them together and talk slowly."

A businessman who was a little braver asked: "Then when will the talks end?"

"When the talks are done, it will end." Sui Xiong said, "If the talks are not done, you will live here for the rest of your life."

The first sentence was very ordinary, but the second sentence was really murderous. Those big men were scared out of their wits, and some even peed.

Reality is not the story of the bard. There are not many mortals in the world who dare to confront the gods - especially this god is one of the most powerful among the gods, and no one dares to disobey Sui Xiong's wishes. Therefore, even if they are unwilling in their hearts, the leaders of the merchant and noble factions can only stay in the Great Council honestly and negotiate slowly.

Sui Xiong kept his word and locked them up in the meeting hall of the Grand Council. Not to mention going home to sleep, even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating had to be done in the meeting hall, and they could not go out at all.

Winter had passed, and the weather was getting warmer day by day as spring came. A large group of people gathered in the meeting hall of the Grand Council. Even though food and drink could be brought in from outside, and defecating and urinating could be carried out in a toilet bucket, taking a bath was out of the question. When the meeting hall of the Grand Council was built, no one had ever thought that there would be a day when they would need to take a bath in it.

Dirt on clothes can be solved by changing clothes or even using magic, but stains on the body cannot be solved. Days passed, and the bigwigs in the meeting hall of the Grand Council became dirtier day by day. Gradually, everyone became smelly. They were used to the smell and didn't notice it, but everyone who entered from outside would be dizzy and dazzled by the stench of these hundreds of people. Later, some people even vomited as soon as they entered the door, and vomited so much that bile came out.

At this point, the goddess of wealth was a little uneasy. She advised Sui Xiong to give these people a few days off, so that they could tidy up and at least wash off the stench on their bodies. But Sui Xiong was not moved at all and directly rejected this matter.

"I want to keep my word." He said, "Since I am in charge of this matter, I must manage it to a result. If they can't negotiate a result, then they will all die in the stench!"

After he said this, no one could persuade him anymore. These leaders of the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction gave up. But how could the negotiation produce results so quickly? Both sides had already reached the point where they were almost ready to fight to the death. There was really no room for easing, compromise and negotiation on many issues. No matter how anxious, worried and wanted to get out, they would not give in.

The leader of the aristocratic faction, one of the two marquises, once said: "Even if I die in this meeting, don't expect me to give in! At worst, we will all perish together!"

In contrast, the attitude of the merchant faction was more relaxed. After all, merchants are not as stubborn as aristocrats, or in other words, they are more gentle and can't learn from the aristocrats to stick to the end. Over time, they gradually began to give in.

Once the beginning, things will be easy. The aristocrats have the upper hand in the general situation, and they don't mind making a little concession in other aspects. The negotiations gradually became regular.

What happened in the meeting hall of the Grand Council naturally could not be hidden from Sui Xiong. Watching the merchants give in again, he sneered in his heart and couldn't help but think of Professor Cheng's comments back then.

The merchant group is actually very weak. Although they are crazy enough in the face of interests, they often retreat once they need long-term and hard work. Therefore, none of the countries in the world that can complete infrastructure and lay the foundation for future prosperity are completely controlled by pure merchants.

At that time, some students were dissatisfied and asked: "Since merchants are weak, why is it that merchants eliminated aristocrats in the current world situation?"

Professor Cheng laughed and said: "It was not merchants who eliminated the feudal system, but the people! Merchants are weak, which makes it easy for them to succumb to aristocrats and to give in to the people. So they naturally get more support from the people than aristocrats, and eventually eliminate the feudal system. What's so strange about that?"

"If the power of the people is so strong, why do we still have so many problems in our lives?" someone else asked.

"You bastard! Do you think progress falls from the sky?" Professor Cheng smiled and cursed, "I don't know how many people's efforts and how many twists and turns it takes to promote a little bit of progress. How many times did the ancient ape use it?" It took a hundred thousand years for humans to evolve, and it has only been a hundred years since the feudal system was eliminated - in many places it has not even been eliminated. Are you so anxious to achieve a harmonious society? Reality is not about telling stories, there is no such thing as unlimited energy. If such black technology comes out, we will never see a Datong society in this lifetime... Maybe it will be possible in a few thousand years. "

Looking at the situation inside the Great Council, Sui Xiong's heart lit up as he recalled what Professor Cheng had said back then, thinking deeply.

Relying on scientific and technological progress alone to promote social progress is still too slow after all. Should I focus on cultivating more progressive forces and let them grow faster until they can defeat the nobles who dominate society and realize a new era? ?

If it needs to be cultivated, what kind of strength should be cultivated?

Working class? The world has not yet developed into comprehensive large-scale production, and the working class is not large enough. Even if you want to sing "We workers have power," there are not many people and the singing will not be loud.

Peasant class? From his impression, the farmers in this world are weaker than the businessmen. Not to mention they are unwilling to rebel if they have food to eat. Even if they have no food to eat, most of them will just flee and do not have the courage to rise up.

Merchant class? With how bad they were, Sui Xiong really had no confidence in them.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't think of any suitable candidate, so he could only shake his head secretly.

It seems that after all, the level of social development is not enough!
