Chapter 729: Discussion

"I noticed that for some time in our west, and in our very place in Van Lier, there was a very good gentleman who saved tens of thousands of lives, opened up countless farms, and brought more unemployed people who had lost their livelihoods back to work, and even the church awarded him a medal. I knew him before I came, and I had almost never seen such a good young man......", Julio looked at Dorin, "Mr. Doolin, if you don't mind, I wish we could sit down and talk." ”

Sitting down and having a chat doesn't mean later, it's not a more intimate chat, it's actually today, now, here, next to Julio.

This is not a conference in the first place, but a kind of "symposium" similar to a salon or a conversation. Julio's personal team had made several plans for him to take over the work of Van Lier before he arrived, including such a plan, according to the habit of the south, showing an approachable and talkative attitude, selecting several influential celebrities in the west to cooperate, and slowly completely recovering the power of Van Lill into his own hands.

His personal team believes that Julio, who lacks roots in the west, had better not show a tough side, because simple westerners are people who eat soft and not hard, and if you are tough, others will behave tougher than you, and in the end, one side will always admit defeat, and also have to pay for the consequences of their previous toughness. Julio can succeed ninety-nine times, but if he fails once, all his hard work and dedication will be in vain. So the advice given to him by those men was to use gentle means, for a period of no more than half a year, to completely master Vanliers, and to make friends with the big men of the West, and to maintain a fairly good personal relationship.

Doolin is a person personally selected by Julio, perhaps because he feels that he has been received by Mags, and Durin, who has the same treatment as him and has served as the mayor of Odis, may be better contacted, and Doolin is definitely not small in the west. Pulling Durin into his circle helped Julio a lot in taking control of his power.

He has read Durin's resume and knows what has happened in the recent period, and he is confident that he can become good friends with Durin, as long as he can reach an agreement with Dulin on some issues, then the radicals led by Dulin will come closer.

Yes, Durin was evaluated as a representative of the radical faction in the west in Julio's personal team, and the turmoil in the west began to occur gradually after Durin arrived in the west. First of all, Duhrin has promoted the all-round development of agriculture in the western region, and perhaps in terms of economic benefits, agriculture and animal husbandry cannot be compared with mining operations, but from the perspective of providing local stability and maintaining local public order, agriculture and animal husbandry are more suitable for the current development trend in the western region.

There are so many simple people gathered here, from local cowboys, miners, and mine guards, to foreign gold diggers and robbers and horse bandits who make their homes in the wilderness. The biggest problem facing the western region is not in economic construction, but in public order. Only a stable social environment and good law and order can attract more businessmen to the west, and the benefits of cheap workers' labor far outweigh the benefits brought by mining to the west.

Julio, who has been engaged in politics in the south, has a different perspective on the development of the western region than the locals, including Memnon, who saw the development of the western region in a different way than the locals, including Memnon, when Memnon dominated the western region, the big capitalists and miners were the main beneficiaries, and judging from the annual financial report, the economic development of the western region did not hold back the empire, although it was still in the bottom ranking, but it did not fall too far behind. However, in fact, the benefits brought about by this kind of economic construction are not real construction, but a kind of destruction.

Many economists at home and abroad share a common view, if wealth is only in the hands of a few, then wealth is not wealth, but poison. Only after everyone has a certain amount of wealth can they be considered truly rich and powerful. It is precisely the West that stands in stark contrast to this dominant view, where almost all wealth is in the hands of a few, and the citizens of the West are not rich, or even poor.

If this status quo is not changed, the government's voice will first fall into the hands of the big capitalists. Because they have money, every action they take can have a huge social effect, forcing the government to make concessions for them. Second, except for a few people who have stable jobs, most people are relying on "opportunities" to make a living, and this kind of uncertain and risky way of return will bring too many uncertainties to society, maybe there is a good side, but more of a bad side.

Although Julio does not like the big capitalists in the south who coerce the government by controlling the people, it has to be said that these big capitalists fully demonstrate the amazing effect of the capitalists' unique methods. The abundance of jobs and jobs has brought unparalleled stability to society, people have jobs to do, and there is no need to consider the problem of unemployment, and the social environment and law and order will naturally stabilize.

This has also brought a very positive side to the government's management and construction of the city.

Dühring's farmstead industry was very good, and he provided a large number of jobs in each city, and when these jobs were filled, the number of miners and gold diggers decreased, and it also provided a stable basis for cracking down on all kinds of crime. Although Julio is only a mayor now, he believes that he will never stop at the level of mayor, he is willing to come to the west to run for governor here, and if he wants to do this, someone must help.

Durin is the person Julio has a crush on, and of course Durin himself is also a certain threat, he turned out to be the mayor of the city of Otis, and the city of Otis has developed by leaps and bounds under his construction. But Duhrin is not a threat, because he has been removed from all positions, and even if he wants to start over, it will only start from the level of mayor, and when he can threaten himself, it may be the next eight years. Besides, there are three states in the west, and if Durin is not willing to concede, he can just give in himself.

Durin didn't think much about it, straightened his personal attire and walked to Julio's side, the two shook hands and sat down separately, "The one next to me is Mr. Durin, I'm sure everyone knows him, after all, I opened the first page of the newspaper every day a while ago, and there was always this guy ......", Julio looked very annoying, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth," I often complain to my secretary, damn it, why is this guy in every issue, when will my photos make the front page headlines, is it because you guys aren't doing a good job, or am I not spending enough?"

There was a moment of laughter, humorous people always get people's affection, Julio's statement is really funny, and he talks bluntly about money. As we all know, since the Imperial Diet passed the proposal against "job-related crimes", many officials no longer dare to say the word "money" casually. It's easy to think of corruption and a host of problems that can quickly lead to negative headlines.

Some people think that the existence of the so-called anti-job-related crimes bill is to make it easier for the cabinet to dump the black pot on local officials, and if there is an accident in the locality, investigate the officials, and the officials have committed crimes while performing official duties, then everything is not the fault of the cabinet, it is the fault of the officials, and people also recognize this situation. Many officials have complained that the cabinet does not take into account the situation at the grassroots level, even though it makes no sense to do so.

Julio, who is now able to say that he didn't spend enough money and therefore didn't make the news, is bold, but the Westerners have already got a better opinion in people's initial impressions.

When the people had laughed enough, he pursed his lips and smiled and waved his hand, "Did I say something wrong?, well, just when I said the wrong ......", and the laughter that came out again gave people a very strange feeling, as if Julio was not an official, but a star or an actor, he was too easy to make people laugh, "But when I learned what Mr. Doolin did, I realized that I was really wrong, Mr. Doolin is a good man, even the bishop of the church said so." ”

"I would like to thank Mr. Dohrin for providing so many jobs in the West, and for not having to worry about the guys who may be on the march outside the town hall for a meal. I've only been in the west for a few days, and I'm very interested in life here, but I don't know much about it. Today is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other better. He paused and turned to look at Durin, "Mr. Doolin, what do you think of the current western ...... Let's zoom out a little bit, what do we need in Van Lier right now, what do I need to do for everyone?"

This question is not very easy to answer, because the position of the question itself is problematic. If he answers according to Duhring's own ideas, others may think that he is hypocritical, but if he answers according to his own needs, others will think that he is too strong and selfish. He thought about it for a moment, and then replied with a very serious look, "My personal opinion may not necessarily represent the opinion of everyone here, I will pick a few that I think is appropriate, and if it is not right, I hope you can understand." ”

"First of all, ......", everyone's eyes stayed on Durin's body, some were expecting, some were waiting to see the joke, and some were not so friendly, Duhrin did not give in the slightest timidity in the face of these gazes, he said, "The first thing to solve is the problem of education......

It was definitely a good symposium, at least the many forces in the west learned about the position and attitude of the newly appointed Van Lier, but it could not be said to be an absolute success, because there was a little problem here in Dorin.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he is talking about, and it may seem like a bit of a mouthful, but it is what it is. He directly talked about a series of social issues such as education, medical care, employment, welfare, and treatment in front of so many people with ulterior motives, and did not move the topic closer to the needs of the capitalists and the policies that the government could provide. He's not stupid, Julio wants him to be a bridge but he doesn't.
