What went wrong that the high-level decree could not be implemented and implemented completely?

In fact, Maggs doesn't say this truth, and all the politicians present are very clear - interests.

The transfer of benefits created some artificial obstacles to the implementation of the decree from the top down, and when Maggs demanded a full ban on alcohol, the owner of an unlicensed brewery spent a little money to find his relatives. His relatives saw the money and found him a local official to manage it. The official, under the double "coercion" of favor and interests, had to give the green light to this brewery.

It takes money to give the green light, and the cost of regulation and labor is definitely not possible for this coerced official to pay by himself, so he will introduce this one to the upper echelons. For the upper echelons, a big thing that is unlikely to affect them will not have any negative effect, but meddling will bring considerable benefits, and after weighing, they will put money in their pockets while holding an umbrella to shield the ants under their feet from the holy light that can burn paramecium.

At this time, there will be two situations, the first is that the paramecium is afraid that one day this umbrella may not be able to block the holy light and make them become the nourishment of the earth, so they encourage the upper class to change to a larger umbrella, for which they are willing to provide more benefits, and even take the initiative to open the way for this upper class person in exchange for their own protection. So the upper-class man changed to a bigger umbrella, and under the umbrella there were not only the mad dogs at his feet who had been allowed to grow and evolve, but also other people.

In the second case, in the face of the increase and more interests of these benefit carriers, the ambition of the upper-class person began to swell, and he was no longer satisfied with holding the umbrella by himself, so he began to take the initiative to contact more people to hold the umbrella together, and formed a network, a complete benefit delivery network, in exchange for his greatest value.

In either case, in the end, due to the relationship of interests, the decree cannot be implemented at the grassroots level. Not to mention the distance, in the imperial capital alone, there are more than 30 bars that do not have a liquor license and are selling spirits in the open. Even those that have been licensed are likely not to have been licensed before the first prohibition was issued, but have been illegally obtained through a variety of means.

Who is responsible for this?

Undoubtedly, it is the town hall of the imperial capital, the management of the city. Maybe their original idea was not to get more money in this way, maybe they just wanted to make their political career a little better, to have a few more decent clothes, so that their wives could buy more necklaces, and their children had more toys.

It is not easy to be a politician, and the daily personal contacts will dwarf their salary, and that meager salary simply cannot support the daily expenses of a politician working in the imperial capital. Maggs knows this, Bowers knows it, all politicians know it. So Maggs didn't point this out, and under the frantic plundering of the old party, it was not a big deal to collect a little bit of other people's political donations.

A protective umbrella, a network of relationships, and finally a huge network to prevent the landing of high-level decrees, so this topic is back to the original point, what is the problem?

Maggs asked this question and no one answered it, not because he couldn't, but because he couldn't.

He grasped the weakness of these people with a single sentence, because they are different.

The difference is that politicians from aristocratic and merchant backgrounds do not need to think about "bribery" and "bribery" at all, such as Maggs himself, who himself is from a large aristocratic background. Before forming the New Party and usurping power, he owned hundreds of thousands of acres of land, more than 200,000 people lived in his domain, and he owned enough property to form a large business group. Even if you give him 1 million, it may seem to him that it is the normal family expenditure in the previous three or five months, and he will not be tempted at all.

On the contrary, it is these politicians from civilian background, who are the ones who need to take bribes, and they are also the first group of people who are the first to be attacked by the capitalists wielding money - they are short of money.

"Coming back to our topic, the killing we see is positive for us and for this society. At least we know that in the past half a month, a large number of criminals have returned to hell, and instead of continuing to poison this empire and our people, this should be a good thing, not a bad thing. Also, I would like to ask you, has anyone called the police for this, has anyone marched for this?"

He smiled and shook his head, "Not really!"

"Gentlemen, this is a very special time, a process that is in the process of transformation and has not yet found an outlet, and we reserve the right to complain about their actions, but we first stand aside and watch calmly what they do. Maggs began to guide these people, instilling in them the idea that "they are a knife that helps us eliminate some evils that we are temporarily powerless, and when they lose control and evolve into evil, it will be our turn to eliminate them." ”

"As for Mr. Doolin's approach, I am only in my own opinion, and besides, he does not instruct anyone to do anything, but it is all spontaneous under the temptation of the interests of capital. ”

"Also, Mr. Doolin talked to me about one thing the other day, about how to prove that a citizen of the Reich is a citizen of the Reich. Through our chats and discussions, I realized that there are places in our country that we have not thought of and not seen. Mr. Doolin asked me the question of how to prove that an Imperial citizen is a real Imperial citizen. I'll admit that I'm stuck in a loop out of which I can't get out. ”

"I told him that it only takes proof from the citizen's relatives and friends to prove that the citizen of the Empire is a citizen of the Empire. But then I realized another question, how to prove that his relatives and friends were also citizens of the Empire, and if I continued according to my idea, this question might never be answered, because the answer was too terrifying. Then Mr. Dohrin told me about his idea, which was to issue citizens of the Empire with a document that would prove their identity. ”

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and picked up a cup of tea, and everyone needed to have a process of acceptance when the news was released. Magus, like many nobles, kept a lot of slaves in the past. These slaves did not need to be paid any salary, they only had to starve to death, and they would work and work until they could no longer work. He would attach a chain to each slave with a small metal card indicating the slave's name and owner, as well as a number registered with the Slave Administration.

Now, if identity certificates are issued to citizens of the Empire, will it cause disgust among some people and cause a tsunami of public opinion?

He doesn't have a bottom himself, after all, this kind of thing is indeed a bit difficult, but there are also many benefits when it is done well. The foundation of a country is its citizens, and statistics and registration will be very convenient in the management of these citizens. In particular, Dühring's proposal to establish a complete file was very necessary for Maggs.

A person's life trajectory from birth will be reflected in a document, and it is clear what good things he has done and what bad things he has done. When one day he has a certain value to this society, people will be able to interpret from that file whether his current social value is real or illusory. At the same time, it can also act as a deterrent to potential criminals.

When they are going to commit a crime, they should know that if they are arrested for the crime, the stain will stay with them for the rest of their lives. It will be difficult for them to find well-paid jobs, they will not have the daughters of legitimate families willing to associate with them, and even some of the rights enjoyed by citizens will no longer be available to them. The higher cost of crime is one of the best ways to reduce crime, and he talked a lot with Doolin, which is why he threw out the idea at today's meeting.

Soon the conference hall was in the thick of a heated discussion, and I am afraid that for some time to come, in addition to the votes, this is the main work that follows.

Doolin didn't know that some people wanted to confront him in a way he couldn't think of, and he couldn't imagine that Maggs was more active in promoting this thing than he was, and he just did some simple work and then added to the idea of the future of the work.

Maggs told him that the city of Otis could take the lead in establishing an identity system, and if it couldn't find a big problem, it would find a way to push it out to society.

What might be a resistance in the eyes of Doolin and Maggs is not very much in the city of Otis. The labor certificate is a good process for everyone to accept new things, and even some non-workers want to join the workers' union to obtain a labor certificate, after all, with this thing, you can get an extra dollar every month anyway.

For businessmen and capitalists, they may not be willing to bend down to pick up a dollar, but for the average working-class, it is three or even four days' worth of food. Moreover, I heard that the workers' union has formulated a set of "seniority" system, and the working class with more than two years of service will increase their seniority by one year every year, and at the same time, they can also get additional subsidies from the workers' union by virtue of their seniority.

If you work for twenty or thirty years, won't you get an extra dollar or two a month?

As for when it will be implemented...... , it may take some time.

A few years, or a dozen years.

But there's definitely nothing wrong with registering early!
