Chapter 254: Words are not shocking, and death is endless
ββ¦β¦ People who are cut off from economic income and do not have property above the minimum standard receive a free share of one pound of basic food rations per day. Your Highness, this is too much! β
Kofi Angel has been dealing with account numbers all day long, he knows what the result of multiplying a small number by a huge population base will be, and immediately questioned Luo Zhengdao, not to mention in his opinion, can ordinary people need to eat so much?
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao shook his head again and again, and retorted:
"It's not much, this little bit of food barely starves to death, and it can only be a child who wants to be full."
Drake King, the ship's doctor, was more concerned about one more thing, interjecting:
"Your Highness, we can't do free medical care at all! There are not so many doctors and there are not enough medicines, and your thoughts are ...... ideal, but out of reality. β
Hearing this, laughing like an old fox, Luo Zhengdao tapped the table with his fingers, and then put an item on the table to show everyone, and said:
"Here, look at this."
"What is this?"
Seeing people's confused eyes as he wished, Luo Zhengdao said in a confident tone:
"This is the proof of the hegemony of the sea of stars."
Didn't everyone present open their mouths in surprise, and squeezed over to look at this golden cup that would not look too abrupt when it was placed as a beer glass in a tavern, and everyone's jaws were about to drop, this is the proof of the legendary overlord? In addition to looking like a local tyrant, there doesn't seem to be anything special.
"Your Highness, you're not kidding, are you?"
Luo Zhengdao threw away a disdainful look and said:
"Who said that the proof of the overlord must be what you imagined it to be?"
Voyagers have almost all grown up listening to the legends of the pirate kings, and suddenly one day an important item in the legend appears in front of them, their instinctive first reaction is impossible, especially since the cup of life has faded from the original sassy gold shape, this low-key style has reinforced people's negative impressions.
Zola Hegel sighed and said:
"Well, no one says that, but that's too ......"
Luo Zhengdao, who laughed loudly, had a sense of superiority in IQ, and he shook his finger and said:
"Sue you, this overlord certificate is called the 'Cup of Life', pour water into it and wait for a while to turn it into a panacea for disease, do you still think it's strange now?"
As the old saying goes, buns have meat not in the pleats. Of course, the value of the cup of life does not lie in how beautiful or coquettish it is, as long as it takes a little time to turn the most ordinary glass of water into a panacea that can cure diseases, even in the back of the high devil. The scenery is also a very incredible miracle. Although professions such as priests and priests, druids, and shamans can do similar things. However, it is relying on their own ability, or the power given by the gods behind them, this cup of life works tirelessly without external force, such an extraordinary ability that is almost a perpetual motion machine is undoubtedly full of awe, perhaps the legend that collected the seven certificates of the overlord is not just groundless!
Drake Golden Fox looked at Luo Zhengdao suspiciously and said:
"Your Highness, are you going to use it to support the free medical program? But no matter how miraculous this artifact is, it is impossible to treat so many patients. β
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao restrained his smile, nodded and said:
"This is for the poor, those who are rich can go to a doctor or a priest when they are sick, and only the poor who can't afford to see a doctor can get free treatment."
The question is whether a truth can be established does not depend on whether it is noble, elegant and classy, but whether the truth itself can withstand the test of practice and time.
It can be said unceremoniously that Luo Zhengdao is the biggest beneficiary of the current hierarchy of human society, his ass is firmly sitting on the side of vested interest groups, as the general representative of those heavenly nobles, he will not be able to become his own person in the eyes of Dick Si no matter what. If it weren't for Luo Zhengdao's possession of Will Needham, the current Earl of Fortune, with undoubted noble blood and hereditary earl titles, whether it was the allies of the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation, as well as the large number of human exiles within Wake Reef, or even the Second Goblin Empire, which hated someone to the point of itching, no one would agree that a poor boy from a humble background would become the regent of mankind. This is a prerequisite that cannot be erased, and it has nothing to do with Luo Zhengdao's ability, conduct, and merits, the only thing related to it is his origin and bloodline.
There are individuals in the world who betray their own class, and there will be no class that betrays their own interests, Luo Zhengdao insists on the grassroots mentality of treating the toiling masses as his own people, and naturally he will not be appreciated by his subordinates, but because of his irreplaceable important position, everyone pinched their noses and tolerated him fooling around.
"I'm not crazy, and you don't have to look at me like that."
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's statement, his subordinates turned pale one by one, and finally Faure Chopin took the initiative to hand over a step and said:
"Alright! Your Highness, since you have decided so, are you submitting it to the Senate for deliberation? β
"Well, I'll leave it to them to discuss."
After a sudden pause, Luo Zhengdao added:
ββ¦β¦ Poverty relief and medical relief began on a trial basis, without waiting for the Senate to discuss the results. β
"Yes, Your Highness."
Needless to say, the Senate at Wake Reef was a hodgepodge of political speculators and representatives of factions, and all those who did not please Luo Zhengdao, or the goods that he found to be an eyesore and could not be cleaned up, were all crammed into the Senate to fill up, which was obviously a personnel arrangement full of malice.
Although Luo Zhengdao lacks experience in the actual operation of political affairs, and those operational methods obtained on paper will inevitably have some shortcomings that are not adaptable, at least he has understood a basic point, that is, the number of decision-making personnel is inversely proportional to the decision-making efficiency. The evil wisdom revealed in the previous clichΓ© is absolutely not to be underestimated, and in any case, the person in charge of formulating the rules of the game can always take advantage.
The Senate, which had a total of 1,200 delegates to attend, was filled with all sorts of people, from anarchists who advocated the abolition of the monarchy to ultra-populists who hated foreign races, political exiles and unprincipled philanthropists, fanatics who tried to establish an earthly kingdom of God, careerists and frustrated politicians. The internal contradictions of the Senate were so acute that they reached a state of white-hot opposition for the sake of opposition, and even a bill that moved a table could be discussed behind closed doors for half a year. In a word, anyway, Lao Tzu just doesn't like you, no matter what motion you propose, I have to oppose it, this kind of-stirring stick is never out of stock.
The consequences can be imagined, Luo Zhengdao's initial goal was achieved smoothly, and the deputies of the parliament insulted each other and restrained most of his energy, and these guys had little time and energy left to annoy him.
Wake Reef is a brand new territory created by Luo Zhengdao, and in this land, he enjoys a high position of supreme authority, even if he insists on carrying out a major purge. Although Luo Zhengdao made a shocking act of betraying his own class attributes this time, and even sounded like he might be in his head, with the righteous name of the regent and the prestige of the founder of the country that no one could replace, Luo Zhengdao continued to go his own way, and was not affected by public opinion criticism at all. Even if there were some discordant voices, Bu was quickly quelled by the die-hard elements as soon as he appeared, and the backlash provoked was far lower than some people expected to see.
What exactly is reality? Meaningless philosophical arguments aside, reality is the life of a person who, in order to maintain friendly relations with those around him, and with the wider community who will not come into direct contact, has to agree against certain standards, even if he disagrees with them in his heart.
What is the reason why people are dying and their words are good? Because at this time, people no longer need to think about the practical factors, and can express opinions and opinions purely as independent individuals. It can be seen that most people's hearts are inclined to be good, but the external environment forces them to act like a vicious person in order to survive, or adopt immoral ways to grab enough resources to maintain their own survival, which is the greatest contribution of the real world. No matter what world you are in, to evaluate a person's life as realistic is tantamount to scolding him for being a cold-blooded and ruthless utilitarian animal.
What is the reality for Luo Zhengdao? It is the curse of the Aragami that is likely to kill him at some point in the future, and it is that no amount of wealth, power, popularity, and power can prevent this final outcome from coming, just as the fate of human beings will not be able to avoid death.
The existence of the curse of the Aragami means that the life of the cursed person is in danger, and in the eyes of others, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, who is in the prime of life and has a promising future, his self-perception will not be much better than that of a candle in the wind. Obviously, Luo Zhengdao himself is very aware of this, he is not much different from a terminally ill patient, a person who is ready to dance with death at any time does not need to compromise with the ugly reality, he can decide what to do and how to do it from his own likes and dislikes. Regarding how others feel, or what evaluation they make, Luo Zhengdao doesn't think that the dead have the need to worry about the living, as long as they do what they think is right, it is enough, and there is really no need to worry too much about other things.
"We praise you from the bottom of our hearts, Your Highness the Regent!"
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! β
Seeing the joyous crowd singing and dancing in the streets and squares of the Wake Reef settlement, even the scorching sun could not stop their heartfelt joy, and seeing the noisy scene like a sea of joy, Vina Dubov asked in great bewilderment:
"Will, is that what you'd like to see?"
Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at the half-elf beauty, Luo Zhengdao smiled mysteriously and said:
"No, of course not. Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to revel in the cheers? β
Unable to understand Luo Zhengdao's strange train of thought, Vina Dubov bit her fingertips and said:
"I can't understand why you're doing this, is it necessary? These people have been like this for generations, so why do you do so much for them? β
