"What you want to do involves the interests of many people and may not be completed. Moreover!" Barr shrugged. "If someone knows your plan, they may do everything they can to get you to take your plan with them." Into the coffin."
Magus smiled. He looked up at the sun at its peak, and then looked back at Barr. "If that day comes, I will release all the restraints on Dulin and let him tear apart everything that blocks his progress." "
"Sometimes I envy him, not only because he is young and has more time to realize his dreams, but I also envy his unbridled behavior! If he wants to do something, he will do it, even if he lifts the table Doing things well is a terrible power. He has no respect for this society, the empire, and the entire world. I guess he must think that he can defeat everything, so he becomes what we all are. Appreciative look.”
"There are so many things I want to do, so many that I can't even count them. But I told myself that these are things I can't do because I don't know what the consequences will be if I do them. That's I can't do it because I can't bear the heavy responsibility of destroying and building... We have too much helplessness, not because we have too little power, but because we know how to be reverent and learn to restrain our behavior. "
"Domestic dogs will be frightened to pee when they see a lion, and wild dogs will bark wildly when faced with a lion."
"But Du Lin, he dared to pounce on the lion and bite it!"
"I hope everything can go through as smoothly as planned! No one wants this empire to go in an unknown direction, at least I do!"
The expansion of capital power is not a problem unique to the Yaoxing Empire. The entire Western world is facing this problem, but some places seem to be handling it very well - such as the Federation, which itself is built on the soil of capital. Countries have transformed the power of capital into a means of management. They have very skilled skills in using capital to suppress capital. Looking at the top leaders of the federation, almost all of them are big capitalists.
Either the head of a certain family or the representative of a certain financial group. They are the first to enjoy the benefits brought by capital, and then use this power to target others. But there is also a drawback here, and that is the class issue.
The Federation seems to be more free than the Empire. It seems that there is no class problem, but this is not the case. There are still class problems in the Federation, and they are more serious than the social structure problems in the Empire. When all mobility and power are equated with money, it means the emergence of a more terrifying, class-solidified interest group. These people can be called the top leaders of the federation. In order to avoid losing their status as much as possible, they will find ways to make the most severe counterattack against those challengers.
They have more money, and it is actually very easy to eliminate those challengers, because there is a trick in the capital market called using one's own capital to hurt others. With financial strength that far exceeds the opponent's countless times, it is possible to gamble with the other party. For the family's wealth, countless failures are nothing more than a superficial wound to the top management. But as long as they succeed once, the person who challenges them will fall into the abyss.
If things go on like this, the beautiful freedom and the initiative in the hands of ordinary people will become a joke, a big joke. A completely solidified top class will produce absolute corruption. They will refuse any form of change and will stifle all changes in order to ensure their own interests. When the Federation reaches its peak, it is when they begin to be destroyed, and this day is not far away.
Therefore, Magus hopes to explore a path forward that is suitable for the empire. He does not need a solidified class. What he needs is a class full of variables, spurs and motivation. When a ruler cannot bring happiness to people, people will ask him to step down in a civilized and sensible manner, without resorting to force.
In fact, this was originally a big plan that should be delayed. Maggs has clearly realized that he has no means to restrict the expansion of capital power. Now he has slightly changed his mind. This change is because he read a book This book comes from a sociologist in the Kingdom of Cyrus.
The sociologist stated the essence of capital very simply—the unabashed pursuit of desire. When you have one, you will think about having ten. When you have ten, you will want to have more, more than everyone else. The expansion of capital is actually the release process of human desire itself, but people transform this instinct into a seemingly simpler and clearer method, and then seek to satisfy their own desires.
The sociologist put forward a hypothesis in the book that if social problems are introduced into an infinite cycle, that is, continuous construction and destruction, and controlling this cycle through multiple forces, it may be the best way to control the power of capital at present. means of restraint.
Every once in a while, those big capitalists will go bankrupt on a large scale, and the money they hold will flow back into the entire society. The inequality generated in this redistribution process will create some outstanding people, and these people will Become a representative of the new capitalists and stand at the top of society again. Then let this cycle continue indefinitely. When the class at the top of the tower becomes solidified, break it and let society make a choice again.
Perhaps at some social class reset in countless years, a kind of real fairness that people pursue will be born.
The above are all bullshit and the illusions of scholars without going through their heads, but Magus believes that these bullshit still have some practical significance, such as a class that has begun to solidify within the empire, a large consortium dominated by nobles. After hundreds of years of accumulation, these forces have accumulated more wealth than the collective strength of society. Their personal connections and influence on society mean that they have no natural enemies. Drawing on the sociologist's insights, Magers had a less mature idea.
Turn the so-called cycle into a food chain.
A complete food chain is like a circle. Once one link expands, the previous link will receive huge supplies due to the expansion of the next link, and then it will progress layer by layer, and finally return to normal.
However, this is difficult to accomplish and will always be just an idea, because everyone knows that social structures are always tower-shaped, not circular.
What he has to do now is to try to complete this masterpiece and first crush the most complex, difficult-to-attack, and almost solidified aristocratic capitalist!
What he needs to face in this process is the largest group of vested interests. They will safeguard their own interests and dare to attack those who intend to harm them, including him, the prime minister, and they will not be put aside by them. In eyes. So now he needs a person like Du Lin, a mad dog, to point him in a direction and let him bite all the way to attract firepower for himself. Only then can he hope to perfect his conception of the social structure as much as possible.
As for what to do after Dulin is finished
God may give him the answer!
On the fifth day of the Otis City Parade, Donald finally appeared in front of people. He stood on the steps of the square outside the city hall, facing the dense crowd of marching citizens. His voice passed through the loudspeaker in the cold wind and made everyone Everyone can hear it.
"Great miracle workers of the city of Odis, I stand here facing all of you today and have a lot to say."
"I know that every Otis person is a peace-loving and life-loving person. We should not and cannot have unpredictable changes in our lives because of the arrangements of a few people. I know that everything that has happened recently is related to I have a relationship, but I hope everyone can understand the essence of these decisions I made. It is definitely not to hurt any of you. I hope to make everyone live a better life, make this place more prosperous, and make the city of Otis more prosperous. good!"
"But there are some people who would rather drag everyone to hell than let me bring happiness to everyone. I hope everyone can treat all this rationally, and in the past few days, I have found a solution Way, on behalf of the city hall, I will expand the city of Otis!”
"And in the next month, the city hall will provide no less than 150,000 jobs to citizens who have lost their employment environment. This number will continue to increase..."
In a house opposite the City Hall Square, members of the Odis business group headed by Selem gathered here. They listened to the sounds coming from the window, and their faces gradually became solemn.
Selem looked at the "little man" in the square in the distance and sneered. He turned around and looked at the big guy, "Have you heard? Donald and the Anthem Consortium have reached an agreement, and the Anthem Consortium will be fully responsible. The second phase of the Otis City construction plan plans to double the size of the city circle... "
This news can be said to be the latest news. After a phone call between Donald and Mr. Cappe, the intention of "cooperation" between the two parties was confirmed. For the Cape family, this will not hinder their next development plans. The original plan to cooperate with the Fatima family to build an import and export zone continues, and concessions will be made to the Fatima family during the cooperation. Their initial plan was to account for no less than 35% of that plan, and to strive for as much as possible.
But with Donald's support, they can directly intervene in the operation of Otis City, and their demands for interests from the other side will naturally be reduced. They have reached a final agreement with the ladies of the Fatima family. Their proportion in the new special zone will be reduced to no less than 20%, and then the main financial and human resources will be used in Otis City. .
They also took a fancy to the package and listing plan, and planned to make a huge profit from it to compensate for the profits they lost in the new special zone.
