Chapter 18: Old Things
Right now, everyone is old man Li who has whetted their appetites, and at first they thought that he was talking about something interesting, but in a blink of an eye, they saw that his face changed, and they didn't know what was going on behind it.
"Uncle Li, what's going on behind it? ”
Someone couldn't wait any longer and shouted.
When Old Man Li heard this, he sighed again and said, "This family went to find someone warlord on their own, what our village thinks is that even if this warlord is unwilling to give more money, at most it will blow him out, and it is not a big deal...... But I didn't think about it, but the warlord leader hanged this man, and his head hung at the gate of the camp. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was shocked, and looked at the old man Li with some confusion.
"Uncle, you're not kidding, these two people don't have a deep hatred, why do you want to hang someone. ”
Hearing someone ask, many other people also came in hand.
"You don't know, this warlord came to our village to give alms, not because he has a good heart, but because he lost a bet with his brother when he was drinking. And just in time for him to suffer a defeat recently, the guy in our village came to the door to ask for money at that time, and as soon as the people were angry, they directly cut him down. ”
Hearing this, many people gasped. Some said that the man was greedy, and some said that the warlord was too cruel and fierce.
And Xiao Yun also smiled inadvertently, and a smile flashed across his face.
It wasn't until here that he finally understood what Uncle Li meant, that is, he wanted these residents to know that his current behavior was no different from that villager.
If there is any dissatisfaction among people, maybe the money will be recovered.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun also secretly sighed that Jiang is still old and spicy, if they are just reasonable, these people may not be able to listen to it.
But after such a vivid narration of this story, these people will always have some other ideas.
And the male host over there also reflected and quietly gave a thumbs up to Uncle Li.
And at this time, the host no longer stood in place, only to see him walk out and stand in front of everyone with a loudspeaker.
"Hey, everyone heard it just now, the story that Uncle Li told is not profound. We are very sympathetic to his fellow countryman, but we must also be vigilant enough about what happened to him. It is true that the boss who invests in us now is engaged in real estate, but people have donated money elsewhere before, and I have not seen any action on other people's land. If we continue to reach out to others to ask for money, they will probably withdraw and donate, what to do, I believe everyone should be able to think clearly. ”
The male host's words, combined with the story that Uncle Li just told, still touched these people. Immediately, there was a burst of discussion in the crowd.
Many people have a grim look on their faces, and they don't know what they are thinking.
"Wife, I'll just say it, people are just kind, if you still ask for money from others, maybe people will be angry and donate. ”
Xiao Yun saw that the one who was scolded by his wife at the beginning actually took the initiative to reach over and pull his wife back.
"I vote!"
At this time, there was a sudden loud noise, and I saw a woman in her forties walking over and throwing her ticket into the ticket box. And with her example, many people followed her and voted for themselves.
The male host's face finally showed a touch of joy, and he looked around, waiting to finish this matter.
Xiao Yun also turned around and prepared to leave when he saw this, and he also had a lot of thoughts about this matter.
For example, is this kind of democratic voting system good or not? If Uncle Li's story is not well told today, perhaps there will be no perfect solution to this matter today, and it may cause even more serious consequences.
As for the democratic system, in fact, in Xiao Yun's original study, it was mentioned in many places, including textbooks.
Giving power to the people, to the majority, is, at least superficially glamorous, irrefutable. It wasn't until the fire a thousand years ago, which burned Socrates and scorched the Peloponnese, that people realized that this fragrant candy wrapper might contain a grain of poison.
When it comes to Argentina, it can be said that it is rich and oily, and more than 100 years ago, it was known as the world's granary and meat depot. At that time, Westerners described a person as rich as "as rich as an Argentine". But the strange thing is that Argentina has been left behind as a developing country in the past half century because of its excellent resource endowment and the fact that it has not experienced two world wars? Some people have turned their attention to the country, saying that it is precisely the two people who are deeply loved by the people, General Perón and Mrs. Peron, who have plunged Argentina into a quagmire.
Speaking of these two people, they can be described as the most influential figures in Argentine politics and are deeply loved by the people. General Perón often gave benefits to the workers, demanding a wage increase from the entrepreneurs. In order to protect national industries, free trade was abolished and foreign-funded enterprises were nationalized; Mrs. Perón was even more famous, constantly visiting welfare homes and slums to bring warmth to the poor. On the surface, the Veróns did win the hearts of the people, but you will find that almost all of them are anti-market economy, which invisibly hurts Argentina's national economy. This is far from the end, because the influence of the couple is so great that in every future election in Argentina, as long as there are politicians who claim to support Peronism, there will be a large number of votes of the people who support them. This has led to the fact that Argentina has been implementing populist economic policies, such as heavy taxes on entrepreneurs, equal wealth and poverty, high welfare, nationalization of foreign companies, etc., which appear to be beneficial to the people, but in fact they are harmful to them in the end.
And now, for the country where Xiao Yun is now, more and more attention is paid to public opinion, which is very related to the nature and concept of the country.
Although this kind of system has brought happiness to more people, it is beyond reproach, but how to run it can make it develop benignly and play a better role.
There is actually a lot of knowledge in this, and with Xiao Yun's current level, he can't figure out this problem.
And he's probably going to be a doctor in the future, and it doesn't seem to be much of a good thing for him to think about it.
However, Xiao Yun was a little unwilling.
He even wanted to go back to school and read the subsets of scriptures again. He heard his master say that if you want to be a real famous doctor who can be passed down through the ages, it is not enough to just read medical books.
