Dulin did not make an immediate decision. The establishment of a party was definitely not a child's play. Memnon's Kadima Party was so powerful that when no one popped the balloon, almost everyone felt that the Kadima Party could sweep the entire west and use three governors to establish the foundation. The political power of the Kadima Party. However, when Memnon died, this beautiful-looking party became a thing of the past overnight. The forces of the old and new parties were quickly integrated into the lives of the local people, without even causing a splash.
But on the other hand, no matter whether the new party leader Mags or the old party leader Kubal, no matter which one of them had an accident, such as a heart attack or something, they suddenly left this world. Will the old and new parties suddenly disband like the Kadima Party? It is obviously impossible. No matter who the leaders of the old and new parties are, or who has an accident, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the rule of the two parties. So why do the old and new parties have strong ability to resist risks, but the Kadima Party does not
The reason is very simple. The old and new parties cannot be completely regarded as two political groups. As some people often say, the nobles in the past took on a new name and continued to be nobles in this era. , they are called new nobles without noble titles. In this country, hundreds of years of feudal dynasty rule have already made everyone living here accept the view of "aristocratic rule of the world" from the bottom of their hearts. No matter whether the new party or the old party, their main body will not change and remains the same. The nobles are leading the way.
So people naturally accepted that no matter how complicated the changes in the country's political structure and system were, as long as the ruler was still an aristocrat, that would be fine! They have turned this situation of being ruled by the aristocracy into a routine, and the new era has only been around for more than 20 years, and people have not yet completely emerged from the old society, especially mentally.
The Kadima Party does not have the characteristics of an "aristocratic". No matter how well they do, they are still just a group of ordinary people like the general public. Being ruled by aristocrats is what it should be, it is a tradition, but being ruled by ordinary people... may not be unacceptable, but it may not have strong cohesion. Some people in the middle class, the most important part of society, are still thinking about class restoration. How can they accept being ruled by ordinary people and still accept this situation? It is obviously impossible, so when Memnon died, the westerners did not care at all about the changes in local political subjects, let alone care.
This is not to say that this situation will continue forever. In the long river of history, there will always be some abnormal noises to make this boring river more interesting. Some people will not hesitate to pursue certain beliefs that may be stupid. When you dedicate your life, something will quietly change. People's thoughts, understanding of the world, and self-understanding will all change in these waves. In the end, one person will stand up and shout the slogan of no longer being oppressed, no longer enslaved, and fighting for freedom, setting off an earth-shattering revolution and changing the face of the world.
Only then will the minds of the general public make progress and wake up from their numbness amidst the shock of countless blood and tears.
But before that, maybe this world is pretty good.
Dulin never intended to be a pioneer of change in the era. The first person to take one step more than others would often crash into the south wall first. He still has more great ambitions to realize, how could he be a destined person? Tragic character
If it can be said that it is the highest goal of some people's life to have their names engraved on the bottom of the long river of history and be admired and worshiped by countless later generations, then Dulin's goal is to become a small boat and go with the flow.
While Mr. Hersman was asked to recruit people to form a campaign team, Dulin took the initiative to visit Maggs.
Standing outside the door of the villa at No. 1 Imperial Avenue, the guard looked at him curiously from time to time. This guard was new. He knew Du Lin, but he didn't know what the relationship between Du Lin and Maggs was.
After waiting for about five minutes, Mags's wife opened the door for him. She was very old, but her appearance did not make people think that her appearance had become ugly because of the years. Instead, she had a kind of Her nobler temperament is impressive, "I heard you were coming, so I made some pancakes and you can take them with you when you leave." This is her biggest hobby at present. She has retired for many years. In the early years, she She would also go out to socialize, but now she is too lazy to go. The world belongs to young people. Those young people would find it boring if she went there, so they would simply stay at home.
On weekdays, she forces Mags to play with flowers and plants with her, and her remaining hobby is making some snacks. However, there is one special thing about the snacks made by this lady, that is, they are too sweet! She always hopes that life can make people feel as sweet and happy as honey. Adding sugar and honey may be able to do this, even if it is just for a moment.
Du Lin gave him a souvenir, a bottle of red wine he bought in a small wine-producing country before he came back. He had stored it for twelve years and the price of each bottle was about two hundred yuan. This kind of red wine with exquisite packaging can at least give people the feeling that "it is worth at least 500 yuan, because the box costs dozens of yuan."
"Don't bring these things with you at all. Just treat this place as your home. The old man is waiting for you in the study. I will make some snacks and take them with you when I leave."
Du Lin watched the lady with refined temperament disappear around the corner. He walked out of the study in a familiar manner and knocked on the door. A familiar voice came from inside the door, "Come in."
He opened the door, and the sunlight illuminated half of the room through the window. There were some floating particles in the air, which had nowhere to hide in the sunlight. The smell of ink and ink in the nose can calm people down in an instant. This is a magical place. Mags was sitting at the table. He was wearing a pair of very narrow reading glasses in the sun. He lowered his head slightly and looked at him through the space between the frame and his forehead. "Sit wherever you want. If you want something to drink, What?"
Du Lin sat on a single sofa. The weather had turned warm, and a lazy smell quietly emerged as he blended into the sunshine. "Tea? Or water, that's fine."
The butler outside the door immediately prepared for Dulin. After he walked away, Mags closed the book in his hand and placed it firmly on the table. "What do you want to say to me? Most of the time it's just me. Only when you are invited will you be willing to come.”
This is of course also true. Du Lin is not willing to come to see Mags when there is nothing to do. This old man is very wise, but he gives people a very kind feeling. There is no air of a great nobleman in him. It's easy to ignore his identity in the chat, but this is precisely the most fatal thing, because he is Magus, a very powerful politician and the number one figure in the New Party. When chatting with him, some things will be revealed unknowingly, which is why Du Lin is unwilling to come.
Du Lin sighed quietly, "Actually, I just want to tell you that I plan to run for governor of a certain western state."
"Oh?" Magus straightened his sitting posture, took off his eyes, gently clasped the fingers of his hands together, and placed them on his thighs. He looked at Du Lin with a half-smile, looked at him for a while, and then asked He asked, "As a non-partisan person?"
Du Lin shook his head, "No, as a member of the New Party."
Magus nodded slightly. This was the most correct choice. Nonpartisans or forming a small party by themselves would not have any major development under the current political landscape. He was able to guess some of Du Lin's ambitions, and he affirmed his current choice. Of course, these were not enough. He thought Du Lin should understand what the problem was, so he was waiting for Du Lin to continue.
For about twenty-three-four-five-six-seven-eight seconds, Du Lin curled his lips and said, "In a blink of an eye, it has been so long since I left the country. I haven't been back for a while. All my peers from other families have gotten married. But I am still just one person.”
"You said last time that you wanted to introduce the royal princess to me, but I wonder if that still counts?!"
Mags was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointing at Dulin, and laughed loudly. Through the laughter, Du Lin could tell that Mags was full of energy. Although he was old, he was not decrepit yet.
There was a hint of admiration for Du Lin in his eyes. This look has rarely appeared in recent years. Du Lin is really too good. How great would it be if he were his own son? Magus once thought that many things would become simpler and not as complicated as they are now. It's a pity that Dulin was unwilling to accept this "exploitation" and became a nobleman, which disappointed Mags.
Both Dulin and Magus knew very well that when Dulin reached this point, he either began to seek changes. What changed was the political structure of the empire and the rules of the game, just like when he first made his fortune, he would look for the rules of the game. Loopholes and then breaking the rules. Either he will go to the execution ground with a broken head and a bloody head, or he will usher in glory with a broken head and a bloody head. His road is dead, and there is no way out.
Or, he accepts the rules of the game of the nobility, marries a certain noble, and then gives the things he has worked hard for his whole life to this noble - he and his wife's children will inherit everything in Dulin. This is a rule that must be followed. . This child will return to the noble group after Du Lin's death. In other words, what Du Lin has worked hard for his whole life will eventually become the property of the nobles who marry him. Of course, not all of it, and some of it will be broken up. , absorbed into nourishment by the entire aristocratic class.
In history, many important figures obtained the status of aristocrats by marrying nobles, and thus began to make waves and became the most dazzling ones on the political stage.
But how many people know that the "wealth" of these people's lives will eventually return to the hands of the aristocratic class and will not flow into the civilian class.
But these are the rules. As long as you want to participate in this game, a more advanced game, you must abide by the rules of the game!
No one is an exception!
