"Have you joined any party?", after the auction stage, people moved to the backyard of the Grand Theater. The long table was filled with cold dishes, and more than a dozen chefs in high hats and white clothes stood by the stove to cook for the guests. As soon as Du Lin took a sip of fruit wine, he heard someone ask him this question behind him. He immediately turned around, greeted him with a smile and shrugged his shoulders.
"Sorry, I didn''t join any party, although I really want to do so." he smiled at himself, raised his hand slightly, touched the glass with the guy in front of him, and drank a mouthful of fruit wine. The sweet and greasy taste can''t hide the acid and astringency of the fruit in the fermentation process. Even the very expensive high-grade fruit wine can''t avoid this problem, Compared with their own snow elves, this wine is terrible.
When they put down their arms, Du Lin continued: "as we all know, I''m just a farmer. I can''t represent some people or a class, so I''m afraid I can''t meet the standard for the time being." this is not Du Lin''s deliberate nonsense for modesty, whether it''s the old party that has been slandered and vilified by people or the new party that has reformed political malpractice, In fact, the regime has never fallen from the hands of the "noble".
People only saw that the "new party" overturned the decadent feudal imperial dynasty, but they did not see the identity of the first batch of new parties. They are not generals of the army, or celebrities with great reputation in the society, as well as some top tycoons, emerging group capitalists, and even some "enlightened" aristocrats. Therefore, political power has never flowed from the hands of aristocrats to the hands of civilians. In a more popular way, it is that political power has just transferred from the hands of the old aristocrats to the hands of the new aristocrats.
Therefore, in essence, the nobles still rule the country. As a farmer like Dooling, he is not qualified to join any party, even the new party will not want him.
The visitor lowered his head and smiled. He liked what Turin said, not because Turin said it was funny, but because he recognized Turin''s clear understanding of his identity.
A farmer is a farmer. Even if he has more wealth, he can''t become an aristocrat without permission.
He kicked the turf on the ground and said with a smile, "you are too modest. Modesty is a virtue, but it can also be a hypocrisy." then he stopped his words. Turin didn''t speak. After a while, he looked at Turin and formally said, "would you like to join the glory Party of the holy Empire if I invite you now?"
The glory party is what the old party called itself, because most of the core figures and middle and high-level leaders of the old party were the nobles of the Empire in the past. They believe that the glory of the Empire now only exists in them. They are the future of the Empire, and the country should be controlled by them after all. However, many ordinary people do not have this idea. In the eyes of ordinary people, these nobles are the cancer of the Empire. Therefore, people "affectionately" call the members of the old party "rotten corpses" and the glory party "rotten mud". Of course, this is what most people think. When they speak, they will still be called the "old party".
It''s not a hasty decision to invite Du Lin to join the old party. Du Lin''s private wine business is booming now. It can be seen from his ability to spend a lot of money to win the favor of big people tonight that this guy is not short of money. This just makes up for the gap left after wood''s death, and may even surpass wood''s contribution in "donation", which is very attractive to the big people in the city.
Yes, to some extent, the old party was a rotten stone that blocked the pace of imperial reform, but people did not live in water and fire within the control of the old party. In fact, these nobles are very good at pleasing the citizens under their rule, which is also the experience and knowledge inherited by the nobles over the ages. In the past feudal imperial era, if a nobleman was not good enough to the people in the territory, these people would secretly migrate. Therefore, if he wanted his territory to be rich and have strong vitality, he should make the people in the territory feel the "care" from the nobleman.
At a deeper level, what really affects people''s lives is not the authorities of the city, but the emerging capital forces. They control the seller''s market through joint and monopoly means to complete the initial capital accumulation, and control the economic system of a city through "post and salary". Then they suck blood from civilians like lambs by means of oppression and exploitation, which leads to a series of social problems. A famous socialite once asked a question - why do working people get poorer and poorer when they work harder and harder.
This problem caused a short social debate, and then people returned to their heavy work, and there was no other thought to consider how to solve this problem.
The socialite soon disappeared. Some people said that he went crazy after raising a problem that he couldn''t solve by himself. Others said that he was killed.
So are capitalists friends of the rulers?
Obviously not. The rulers hope that money can circulate quickly in all links, so as to bring huge tax revenue and let them have enough funds to display their political ideas. However, the capitalists accumulated a large amount of money by means of driving up prices and exploitation, resulting in the non circulation of money. It can''t circulate quickly, and naturally it can''t generate enough taxes for a long time, but the world can''t live without the existence of capitalists.
Compared with the new party''s formulation of various rules of the game for capitalists to restrict the development of capitalists, the old party''s method is much simpler. Since capitalists rely on exploitation to suck blood and grow themselves, the old party simply becomes the "capitalists" of capitalists. They have formulated a new class blood sucking law to extract the accumulated wealth of capitalists in the form of "donation" for the development and growth of cities.
Simple and crude methods sometimes have more executive power and implementation than complex operating rules, but the sequelae is far more than the latter. Capitalists can only fight back and forth through exploitation, which has become a dead cycle. The more industrious the work is, the poorer the working people will be. The poorer the people will be, the richer the capitalists will be, and the richer the capitalists will be. The old party will be more ruthless in cutting the wool of the capital forces, forcing the capitalists to squeeze the civilian labor force more desperately.
For those in power in tenell who implement the law of rough class blood sucking, it is inevitable to invite him to join the game of eternal reincarnation.
Durin did not think for too long and agreed to the visitor''s request. He didn''t even know who the visitor was and who he was, but it didn''t prevent him from accepting the "goodwill" from the old party.
The visitor was very satisfied with Du Lin''s response. He raised his glass and touched Du Lin, raised his glass and drank it up. "It''s a very happy thing to talk to you. Tomorrow you can go to the ''political groups authority'' of the city hall to handle party certification." the power of the Delano law has not subsided to this day, This is the highest achievement pursued by all politicians and politicians who are full of political ambitions.
They hope to influence and change the world through themselves, and make some of their words and views become the norms of the world.
Durin nodded hard. "I see. I''ll go tomorrow."
The visitor patted Turin on the shoulder, nodded and turned away. When he took four or five steps, he stopped a little, "by the way, you can call me Polo!"
Not long after the somewhat mysterious Mr. Polo left, a middle-aged man in a suit and shoes like an elite appeared in front of him. The middle-aged man had a look of great trust. His thick eyebrows and slightly angular square face always exuded the great power of the aura of trust.
"Hello, Mr. durin, I''m o''levin, the chairman of the labor union of tenell city. I''m glad to meet you here." he took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Durin was a little stunned and stretched out his hand. I have to say that o''levin''s hands are thick, strong and warm. When the hand was slightly held by o''levin, Turin couldn''t help but feel an inexplicable sense of security.
"Hello, Mr. o''levin. In fact, even if you don''t show up today, I will visit you soon.", o''levin withdrew his hand and looked like listening. Turin continued: "In fact, the reason is not so complicated. Up to now, I am still a member of the workers'' Union. Maybe I have made some money and don''t need to sell my labor force to make money, but I don''t think it means that I''m no longer a ''worker''."
"So if the trade union has any activities or meetings in the future, you can ask someone to inform me and I will definitely participate. In addition...", Du Lin took out a folded check from his pocket and put it into o''levin''s hand. "This is my donation to the trade union to thank the trade Union for its help and assistance to me in the past."
O''levin looked down at the check, and his face immediately showed a very friendly smile. The three "zeros" made him very satisfied with Turin, and immediately put the check properly in his underwear pocket, "I''m glad that the trade union can have such excellent members as you. What you mentioned is the purpose and value of our existence. Helping every worker in need is our mission. Thank you for your understanding and donation to the trade union. At the regular meeting the day after tomorrow, I will put forward a proposal to invite you to become an honorary director of the trade union. What do you think?"
