Chapter 963: A Secret Unknown to a Few
I heard you're engaged to Ophelia?", Vivien shifted to another question.
It was no secret in aristocratic circles that Durin was going to marry the Timamontes, and some nobles had already begun to prepare a gift list for the engagement ceremony and the weddings that followed. In fact, many nobles do not recognize Du Lin's status, but in fact, they secretly have to more or less affirm Du Lin's ability, and they can run their own business in such a big situation without any background, which is something that some nobles can't do.
If he can stabilize the current situation and ensure that his industry does not go wrong, a new nobleman will be born in a hundred or two hundred years at most.
The marriage between such an excellent young man and the most powerful family in the current empire cannot give something worthless as casually as dealing with the royal family, and they must be able to show their own courage and show respect for both parties, including Vivien, who is preparing this gift list.
Durin nodded, and he glanced at Dufo, who was peeling apples again, and felt that it was a blind attempt to get some food from him.
Vivien hesitated, and she glanced at Du Buddha before she whispered, "I shouldn't have told you these things right now, but you'll know soon." At a higher level, the dividing line between the new party and the old party is not so clear, but the further down the line, the more serious the confrontation between the two sides becomes, do you know what I mean?"
"Of course!", Durin took a bite of the unpeeled apple, which was crisp and delicious, which made his throat feel a lot more comfortable. After drinking some wine in the evening, his mouth was a little dry, which just relieved his discomfort, and after swallowing the flesh in his mouth, he said, "Control!"
Vivien's eyes lit up, and she laughed, many people said that Durin was a lucky person with a day of luck, but she thought that all this was due to Durin's own ability. Who would have thought that the stark antagonism between the old and the new parties was actually the real purpose of this situation was to deepen their control over all aspects of society.
If it weren't for the old governor telling her some secrets before he died, she might never have figured out this truth in her life!
Grassroots members of both parties are eager to scuffle together, and in some state legislatures, members of the old and new parties have often been exposed to beating each other roughly, and there have even been ridiculous incidents that have turned into group fights between lawmakers from both parties to interrupt the process of parliament. But who can clearly see that the purpose of the aristocratic system to divide the two incompatible parties is not simply to compete for power, but to have a more reliable way to control the society of the entire empire.
The two camps have a clear attitude towards different social formations, that is, each citizen is assigned to the two camps according to their "attributes", and after they have a common "enemy", they will have a cohesive force of common hatred and hatred, and with the necessary guidance and release, some of the original problems in the society will be solved.
This is a terrible "conspiracy", and if no one who knows the inside story tells it, not everyone is likely to discover the mystery.
Durin knew that it was because he had decided to be engaged to the girl, and found out from Maggs's reversed attitude towards him, and in some daily conversations, some things that had been closed to him also missed a crack, and he was keenly aware that the top of the new party and the top of the old party were not necessarily clear opposites, but the grassroots were playing dog brains with each other like stupid dogs, and it was a big problem to say that there was no one to guide them.
If someone deliberately leads the whole society to produce such changes and creates such antagonisms and contradictions, then what is their purpose?
Quite simply, orderly opposition is more suitable for the requirements and development of the current era than disorderly chaos, and internal competitiveness, under the promotion of certain circumstances, will be more suitable than family carnival to accelerate the overall evolution of society. In addition, in the world of his dreams, he had also read a certain book, and there were similar views on party strife in the book, which made him realize that this empire is not as simple as people think, but very complicated!
After peeling the apple, Dover looked at the apple that Durin had bitten a few bites into and Vivien's wine glass, and ate it all again. He had just found out that it was too late for Durin to take the apple from his plate, so he had slipped another one, but now he ....... Alas, he sighed silently, how could these people with good brains be so incomprehensible when they spoke?
Or apples are delicious!
Regardless of what Dover was thinking at this time, Durin's understanding of society as a whole gave Vivien the motivation to continue to deepen the conversation, "If someone could say hello and get the governor not to interfere with my campaign in Ordo, I believe there would be much less resistance." You know, sometimes a single sentence from such a key person can make a lot of my efforts go to waste, and it can be a policy. β
Dulin knew this very well, he did this in the first place in Otis City, surrendering to him to give them policy preferences, and those who were unwilling to cooperate would make them bankrupt by formulating local policies and regulations, he pondered for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee this matter, but I will mention it to His Excellency Mags, which also requires you to use some contacts yourself." β
"Of course, let's talk about another thing ......", with Durin's assurance, Vivien was much more relieved, she was not worried about the old party, although His Excellency the Governor had passed away for several years, the connections left behind had not been completely exhausted. A colleague who can survive in the treacherous political turmoil and can still be a good friend is a real good friend, a trustworthy person. Today, these people have reached out to help the daughter of an old friend, and Vivian will give them enough rewards in the future, and everyone will have that day, if they reject Vivian today, then it is possible that others will reject their descendants in the future, this is not a clear choice.
Durin nodded, and Vivien said something else, "I hope you can support me financially. β
"How much do you want?"
"It's not about money...... Vivian shook the wine glass in her hand, the dark red liquid with a faint fragrance hung on the wall of the glass and slowly fell, like a red curtain, she looked at it for a while, and then turned to continue looking at Durin, "There are still many discrimination and prejudices against women in society, and we found that the biggest persecution of women is the imbalance of labor rights, or you can understand it as the problem of family financial freedom." β
"In many families, women take care of their children at home and do housework, and their husbands go out to work, so the husband, who is the only source of income in the family, naturally has absolute control over the family finances. In this case, it is clear that women's rights have been terribly harmed, and they must submit to the dominance of men, losing the rights that are rightfully theirs. β
"A lot of factories also have gender bias in recruitment, which is an ugly phenomenon, but it is not easy to change all this, look to the future, but you must start now. β
"If you can, I would like you to invest in three or five factories in OrdΓ³ that will be dedicated to recruiting female employees, liberating the financial freedom of women in the family, balancing the power of status among family members, and liberating the position of a part of the women in the family. β
Vivien was talking very seriously, and her body was about to radiate a divine light, and she looked compassionate, like the Holy Mother described in the church Bible, and she was about to shine. After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited." β
Durin smiled and said it was okay, "I can understand your mood and great mission, yes, I can understand it. It is understandable that Duhring himself is a macho and a spokesman for pragmatism, for whom only he has a status if he is useful, and if he is useless, he is the dominated class.
He touched his chin and nodded after thinking for a while, "It's no problem at all, there are some industries that are also very suitable for women to work, but you should also understand that if the benefits generated by the factory can't cover the expenses of the factory, and there are serious losses, I won't let it go on forever." β
"I knew that if the factory was really closed for this reason, there was nothing it could do. β
With these two unwritten deals, Mason's campaign path is basically guaranteed to be fine, and once Mason becomes mayor, it means that the second politician in the Kersma family will appear, which is a good thing, and he even wants to manipulate his younger siblings. If a family wants to continue to grow, it must firmly control the supreme power and discourse of the country, and there is no more reliable way to maintain this excessive power than by family to family.
Seeing that Vivien and Dover seemed to have something to say, DΓΌlin took the opportunity to go out to smoke and left the room, after closing the door, Vivien walked to the edge of the sofa, pressed one leg on Dover's leg, her eyes were like silk, she reached out and pushed her body solid, even if she was shot, she would not even frown on the sofa, she licked her blood-sweet red lips, shouted "little wolf dog", and then the house was full of spring.
Outside the room, Delier was looked at by Durin, the memory of Doolin beating him was deeply engraved in his mind, and his head still hurt faintly when he thought about it, plus Dhurin had killed so many people over the years, it always gave people a terrible impression.
Durin beckoned, and Delier could only nod his head and run over with his waist up, shouting "Mr. Doolin".
Seeing that Delier, who was now dressed like a dog and dressed in men's formal clothes, and had his hair and nails cleaned, seemed to be a little handsome, Durin asked in a half-joking tone, "You have become like this, it won't have anything to do with Lady Vivien, right?"
There is a who is suddenly normal, then there must be a woman who has played a huge role, and Delier as Vivien's assistant, some things are not necessarily impossible.
Should such a situation happen, Doolin didn't mind clearing a potential trouble for Dover.
Delier's face was bloodshot when he heard this, and he almost knelt down, his eyes filled with tears, "You can't slander me......"
