Vol 4 Chapter 19 tough

Vincenzo was a gentleman in his fifties, with gray hair, shriveled cheeks, and old-fashioned round-rimmed silver-wire glasses.

This gentleman is not too young, but he is not as old-fashioned and stubborn as most government officials of this age, but has a strong desire to forge ahead.

This is because although he is an aborigines in the Southern Continent, he studied at Trier University of Technology for several years when he was young, and was exposed to and absorbed some of the more advanced ideas, so he inherited the Toure family in Sobia. After the career of the Tu emperor, he naturally became the leader of the reformist officials.

Although he and Arist had the same tendency to govern, although he knew that Aaron Bieber was the secret controller of the mountain bandit army and a powerful Beyonder, this gentleman saw Grelint At the time, the attitude was still not friendly, but held the most restrained indifference.

“For the sake of our alignment.”

He says.

“If you have anything, just say it, Lord Bieber.”

For his attitude, Grelint can understand, but cannot accept it.

Alister and the others have not directly interfered in government affairs, but only half-coerced him to release some new policies that he also approved, and dispatched soldiers to coordinate and supervise their implementation. His attitude is already so bad… Then take over government affairs, take over financial affairs, and touch When it comes to his core interests, he has to turn his face, maybe it is possible to switch to Intis.

Don’t know the times!

Grelint secretly commented.

He held the top position without anger and arrogance. He tapped the long solid hardwood table with his index finger, and added one more thing to the original two things:

“Mayor Toure, I heard that you have a son who is studying at Backlund University?”

“Yes, Your Excellency, his name is Mordan, Mordan Toure.”

Although Vincenzo was full of vigilance, he still proudly introduced to Grelint.

Grelint nodded expressionlessly:

“When are you graduating?”

The tone was flat as if the neighbors were pulling home, but it made several of Vincent’s supporters very confused.

“Lord Bieber, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Vincent frowned tightly.

Grelint didn’t say anything to him, didn’t look at him, just stared at the door quietly and stopped his knocking on the table.

After a few minutes of silence in the small council room, Basil glanced at him solemnly, and snorted coldly:

“Mr. Vincent, it doesn’t look like you can quite see the form.”

This is more rude, and the angry Vincenzo immediately blushed, and wanted to stand up and scold a few words regardless of his image to find his face… But the situation was stronger than people, he was angry and Basil confronted him. After staring for a while, he looked at Alister, who had a hint of warning in his eyes, and at Grelint, who had a calm expression from the beginning to the end, and didn’t even look at him. He sighed and replied in a muffled voice. road:

“Go back to Lord Bieber, he graduated in June this year, but I asked him to travel to Trier to increase his knowledge.”

Afraid not to hide from Sobia’s new situation, right?

Grelint knew this well, glanced at him indifferently, nodded, and commanded without emotion:

“Bring him back quickly, another,”

Having said that, he looked around his five Beyonder confidants, Afra, Vincenzo and his 13 supporters, and ordered:

“From now on, Vincenzo Touré voluntarily resigned as Mayor of Sobia, and appointed Alan Bieber as the mayor, and Modan Touré as the mayor’s chief secretary, fully representing Sobia’s government affairs.”

“what?”

“This…”

“I disagree!”

As soon as the voice fell, those supporters of Vincenzo, relying on the crowd, immediately began to discuss and shout, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Not only them, but even Sasha and the others felt that Grelint was a little too hasty.

On the other hand, Vincent himself, after being stunned for half a minute, let out a long sigh, his expression was quite complicated, unwilling, resentful, relaxed…and so on.

The market in the council hall was noisily and noisy, but Grelint’s face was not the least bit strange.

Whether it is military strength or personal strength, I have enough confidence to suppress all opponents, so why play politics with you and play family?

Politics is the art of compromise, and he does not need to compromise to achieve his goals.

“Tuk, tuk, tuk…”

The disappearing sound of knocking on the table came out evenly and flatly, and the council hall instantly returned to silence, and all eyes were focused on Grelint:

“I’m not discussing with you.”

He said plainly, although there was no threat, but the coldness in his words made Vincenzo’s thirteen supporters shudder instantly, like a drake who was strangled by the neck, unable to spit out any more. sound.

…

The key to mastering is to combine hardness and softness, and to rely on rewards and punishments. Grelint has never learned this, but at this time, he understood this truth without a teacher.

After solving this unexpected thing, Grelint returned to today’s topic:

“I heard that some die-hards have recruited a powerful supernatural power owner and used your personal safety as a coercion to prevent you from successfully publishing the announcement of the complete abolition of slavery?”

He looked directly at Vincent, and saw that from the complicated mood just now, he had a strong self-confidence for no reason, believing that Grelint could easily solve their long-standing problem with his thunderous means.

“Are there any casualties?”

He asked a question.

Vincent nodded and pointed to the third supporter he had attacked, a young woman who seemed to be mainly of Intis blood, with only a few aboriginal characteristics:

“This is Avapova, the incumbent president of Sobia Newspaper, her fiance and a family of 7 people, all of whom were killed by the mysterious owner of extraordinary power… At present, he does not want to be with us. Tore our face, so we did not directly assassinate us, nor did we touch our immediate family members.”

so bad!

Grelint frowned suddenly, and spat out a word to the lady who had been mournful from the beginning:

“My condolences, ma’am.”

As he said that, he did not rush to investigate and deal with the Beyonder, his eyes swept across the faces of the 20 participants who never included himself, and solemnly and confidently promised:

“Let me handle this matter, and within a week, I will take the murderer’s head to ensure your safety.

And there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to steadily push forward the promulgation of the New Deal to Abolish Slavery, and try to get the people to understand and support it.

Tell me, do you have any questions now? ”

Vincent and the others never knew about Grelint in detail, but the strange thing was that his gesture was very convincing, and they completely reassured them, and they all said that there would be no problem.

As for Grelint, he has many means, and if he wants to find an ordinary mid-sequence Beyonder, it is basically not difficult – unless the other party is a faceless person.

…

After making the commitment, Grelint steered the meeting to today’s third agenda item:

“One more thing, I learned that many knowledgeable people in the city have realized that after the complete abolition of slavery, Sobia will have a relatively large increase in the price of food and daily necessities… Unless we accept the full input of foreign goods, it means that the pricing power is in the hands of others.”

“I wonder what you guys think about this?”

To say, this is indeed what made Grelint embarrassed for them. Even himself, relying on ready-made experience, only has some vague ideas that need to be discussed.

Unsurprisingly, including Alister and the other Beyonders, including all the reformist officials, after everyone looked at each other for several minutes, Vincenzo said tentatively under the pressure of Grelint:

“This is indeed a problem, but Intis, Loen, and Feysac of the Northern Continent, didn’t they all come here when they abolished slavery?”

He seemed to have found a supporting basis, so the more he said, the more confident he became:

“As long as we are sure that this policy is correct and has meaningful value, I think such a price is acceptable when the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!”

This is not bad. After all, slavery completely treats people as animals. Now that it is abolished, it is equivalent to transforming the extreme oppression and extreme exploitation suffered by slaves into a broad base lacking means of production. People’s, less extreme exploitation, less extreme oppression, and guarantees the basic human rights of those who were originally slaves.

The slight weakening of the intensity of exploitation and oppression, and the expansion of the target of exploitation, in the final analysis, can instead guarantee the greater interests of the bourgeoisie.

Not out of good moral cognition, but out of “sight” and being able to smell the greater good.

They have little concern or sympathy for the life or survival of the people at the bottom.

But that’s not what Grelint expected.

If it is just to prepare for the “Dark Emperor” ceremony, then the provisions of “abolishing slavery”, strengthening the fight against crime, and adjusting the commercial tax are actually enough – as long as they are widely promoted.

But his purpose is clearly more than that.

He has nothing to refute Vincenzo’s remarks. After all, the curly-haired baboons in the upper house of Ruen Intis also think and do this. This is the limitation of the times, and there is a lack of such a person. A “ghost” who has insight into the world and has compassion and empathy for all people.

In fact, in Grelint’s view, he himself is not so noble.

Just because he has a unique perspective, the perspective of “high-dimensional looking down”. For him, the proletarian people and the capitalists are not actually more noble than the other, but the most extensive part of the proletarian people at the bottom will definitely give him more “anchors” for stabilizing human nature, and strive for the highest level of their beliefs. A good way is to reduce their exploitation and increase their happiness by hitting the capitalists.

In fact, this is what the gods want to do, but it is very difficult to do.

Of course, they also want to win the belief of the broadest masses of people, but the imperial power and the bourgeoisie are their tools to maintain the existing rule and maintain the current situation, and they cannot use the tools to attack the tools themselves.

Of course, they usually have another tool in their hands—the church.

…

In the wordless silence, he knocked on the table and made this suggestion:

“I have an idea here, can you refer to it?”

“We can actually have the government come forward and provide a sum of money to open a batch of factories and plant a batch of crops for not-for-profit purposes, and hire laborers to work at relatively high wages.”

In fact, this operation to put it bluntly is to develop the public ownership economy.

“There are many benefits to this, three of the most obvious being:

First, we are not for profit, and the salary we can offer is obviously higher than that of other farmers and factory owners, which can force them to increase their salary or reduce their labor intensity. There will be a clear loss of competitiveness in the market.

Second, our products can be used to stabilize prices, and we also consider the natural laws of the market. If our products are more cost-effective, consumers will definitely prefer it.

Third, these factories and farms backed by the government can make better use of the policy facilities we provide, and it is definitely easier to develop than the original factories and farms. After that, our government will have stronger control over the whole city, and it will not be coerced by those factory owners and farmers. ”

This is equivalent to putting pressure on the capitalists, forcing them to reduce the proportion of profits from the two dimensions of production and consumption. In this way, they will either quit the industry, or they can only adjust the development direction to the production of high-end luxury goods. After all, it is impossible for state-owned enterprises to compete with them.

These are obvious advantages.

Of course, this operation can’t be said to have no disadvantages at all. It can only be said that “the benefits ‘much greater’ than the disadvantages”, this is also a trade-off, and it is the best way that Grelint can think of.
