Chapter 49 Conversation between nobles(2/2)

The power of habit is so powerful. It is so powerful that people can face these cruel scenes without caring.

Lorraine Hill, who grew up in a modern and stable era, naturally retained many of the values ​​​​and worldview of her previous life. In her opinion, seeing a famine without treating it and letting people starve to death is a cruel and uncomfortable thing.

But in the eyes of today's people, these are just sparse and common things, and there is nothing to be sad about. To the nobles, they are just distant strangers. They have not even seen them, so naturally they will not be concerned about them.

sad.

As for the rebellion, it is just a small fight. This is a world with extraordinary power. Those poor people who have no knowledge and strength are destined to be difficult to defeat the nobles.

However, times have finally changed.

After Lorraine Hill sorted out the thoughts in his mind, he slowly sat upright in the carriage and looked out the window at the rows of orange lights passing by.

An empire that relies on individual strength and the rule of a small number of elites will eventually face the huge impact of the wave of industrialization. Even the most intelligent and knowledgeable people in the empire are still unaware of this slowly coming gray rhinoceros.

.

It seems that relying on self-reform within the empire will not work. Their cognition and values ​​do not agree with the concept of equality. And even if they imitate the industrial model of Cranthia, it is probably to organize the poor to perform superficial labor and learn a lot.

Just a rough shape.

True industrialization requires universal education, cultivating a large number of workers with good cooperation and self-awareness, a good and just social order to ensure resource circulation, smooth business activities, and high enough food production to liberate people from the fields and enter the industry.

factory.

But none of these empires can do it.

First, they want to maintain the stability of the nobility, but are unwilling to popularize knowledge and extraordinary power to many civilians.

Second, they will conservatively seize the products and resources of their respective fiefdoms and set up barriers at all levels. In this way, trade will become a weapon for them to blackmail and manipulate merchants, hindering the expansion and development of industry in disguise. Merchants will naturally not dare to take risks to avoid

Materials may be out of stock at any time, because they cannot sue the nobility, nor can they restrain the nobility. It is too difficult for such a society to accumulate and develop industry.

Third, there is no motivation to urgently increase food production, but they hope to profit from scarcity. As a result, a large number of civilians are still trapped in the fields, without opportunities for prosperity, and no leisure to learn and grow.

After staying in the imperial capital of Titiania for a period of time, Lorraine Hill finally slowly sketched out the thoughts and opinions of the upper-class nobles of the empire.

Is this the power of the times? Even the smartest people in the empire are limited by their past and vision, making it difficult to see the future.

Maybe I shouldn't have had hope in this from the beginning. I still have to follow the example in history and carry out thorough overthrow and reform.

But if this is the case, it will trigger turmoil and war, and many people will disappear in the flames of war.

The girl in the carriage looked out the window blankly, thoughts surging in her mind, and the luck in her heart was slowly extinguished.
