Outside the house is the hottest time of the year, the boiling heat wave even the air becomes ethereal, but the inside of the house is as cool as spring, the broken ice and ice water in the walls continue to carry away the heat on the walls along the copper pipes, making the whole room full of coolness.

This is a recording hall, and the mayor is sitting on the sofa, cross-legged and talking to the host, and from time to time the audience erupts in cheers and applause. It can be seen that the mayor enjoyed such a unique interview, and the humorous language often made the host laugh out loud. Half an hour later, when the light on the video stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including the "actors" in the seats who were undergoing professional acting training.

"This thing is good, the key is that your ideas and creativity are very advanced, this is the most important thing in this era!", the mayor's assistant gave him a cold water towel, he wiped his face, and the little heat on his body seemed to disappear without a trace. As he walked out with Durin, he asked, "I think there will be other people who want to promote their governance ideas and ideas in this more vivid way, and I will introduce some people here, no problem, right?"

This is the second episode of the program, each tape can be played for 90 minutes, of which 50 minutes are sketch dramas, it just so happens that there are so many students studying in the performing arts school now, and the free labor is not in vain, and I found two screenwriters to make up some trivial stories for these students to practice. In the other 40 minutes, there will be some talk shows that are not intimidating, and there will be some news interpretations such as "old news", as well as about 15 minutes of current affairs.

The first issue of Doolin only charged a cost price, and the response was overwhelming, and all the 5,000 reels of tape that were sent out were sold out, and some of them even went to some "rental stores" and became the most popular content. So far, more than 7,000 users are planning to subscribe to three installments, and more than 10,000 users are subscribing to six installments, and this number is still expanding.

When Durin and the mayor talked about it, the mayor immediately realized that the effect of this thing was far more effective than the traditional medium of newspapers. First, the audience is there, and those who can afford it, or can afford to rent tape, are at least the middle class, and these people are the mainstays of the empire. Second, the freshness of the new medium will always be greater than the freshness of the newspaper, and everyone wants to take a look at it and see if this new thing is interesting.

No matter what the purpose of these people is, as long as they look at this tape, they will definitely see the current affairs commentary at the front, which is also expanding the popularity of the interviewee.

It is conceivable that when the audience of Durin's thing grows and grows, he is equivalent to mastering a news mouthpiece that is not weaker than the George family, and is more dominant than the George family. Not all of the people who buy newspapers are middle-class, but those who can see these programs are necessarily the worst middle-class.

The middle class is more concerned about politics than those at the bottom of society, and any public opinion has the most direct influence on them, and once people realize the value of this thing, there will definitely be more counterfeiters. But it doesn't matter, Durin is one step faster than others, plus he has advanced ideas, this gap will not be shortened, it will only increase.

After casually throwing the face towel to his assistant, the mayor lowered his voice, "I have passed the party through the party, they have no objection to you joining the new party, and by the way, I have also found a good place for you." He pushed open the door and walked with Durin to the aisle outside the recording hall, "At Otis, do you know that place?"

Du Lin frowned slightly, Otis is not a prosperous city, close to the middle of the empire, about three hundred kilometers south of the imperial capital, you can reach the imperial capital in one day by steam locomotive. It seems that this place is close to the emperor and should be very prosperous, but in fact, on the contrary, this is a poor place.

There is no pillar industry, there is no tourism resources like Illian, there is no seafood resources like Willis, and it is not even as good as Tenel, but Tenel is still a transit station at home and abroad, and there is no pasture and farm in that bird place!

It was precisely because of the fact that he began to actively operate this matter, so that Durin learned about more than 200 cities throughout the empire. The only thing that can feed people at Otis is light industry, but it is also extremely limited in scale. The chronic lack of economic development has caused many locals to leave the city, and fewer than 400,000 people live in the whole of Otis compared to the large cities with populations of millions.

It's like a lifeless place, without any vitality, throwing yourself there, don't you think you're too good at talking?

Noticing the change in Durin's eyes, the Mayor patted him on the arm, "I know Otis is not a good place, but it is a good place at the same time. I'm going to be the governor of Cosenas, and you're going to have to stay up for four years, and when I take office, everything will be fine." And don't you think that the poorer the place, the easier it is to develop? There are no big capitalists there, and there are no subordinates who work against you and want more power. There, you're the biggest one!"

"If I really send you to the imperial capital, do you think you can stay there for a few minutes? Now the governor over there is also a friend of mine, and I will ask him to give you certain policies at the appropriate time. Not everyone starts out as a mayor, many people have climbed all their lives, that is, a mayor!"

"I have something to do in the afternoon, go first!

Durin shook his head as he watched the Mayor leave, and something special flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Mayor's back.

When the mayor returned to his office, he locked the door from the inside, picked up the phone, thought about it, and dialed his old friend, because he was using a special line, so he didn't need to think about the operator being too busy or asleep, and the phone was quickly connected.

"How's it going?"

The mayor walked to the window with his phone in his hand, looked at the countless tourists on the beach like gravel, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "It's done, and he agreed." He's got a really interesting stuff that I think you'll be interested in. ”

"Yes, you're interested, it must be something good, tell me about it!"

The two talked on the phone for more than 30 minutes before the mayor hung up. He blinked, pushed open the door to the cubicle, and lay down on the bed. There was a crackling sound like bones touching his body, he was in his forties, and his body was declining. When he sat on the bed for a long time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his spine, and he used a little force to use a little force downward, and after a while, after the pain passed, it was much more comfortable.

In fact, he invited Durin to enter politics, not his own intention, according to his own intentions, he was unwilling to let businessmen enter the political field, but someone above sent him a message to find a way to pull Durin in.

At first, he thought that Durin had smashed the upper echelons of the New Party with money, but later he inquired with his political mentor and found out the inside story.

Although Amp failed, and the official hanged Hodok on the gallows in the imperial capital, it also made many people realize that the money was most likely in Durin's hands. They couldn't get the money, but they didn't want to watch Durin just squander it or use it elsewhere. Instead of watching him spend money, it is better to trap him in and let him spend this money on the Empire.

Give him a little hope, and then force him to spend money, and when the money is almost spent, find a remote place to drag him there for the rest of his life. Durin's recent actions have touched the sensitive nerves of some people, not only the uncertain 70 million, but he also started a fellow townsman association, and plundered funds by selling moonshine, and a progressive party has appeared in the empire, and the people above do not want to have another fellow countryman party or any moonshine party.

The new party and the old party seem to be in opposition in form and position, but in private you have me, and I have you. As can be seen from the fact that many of the high-ranking members of the New Party are aristocrats of the old period, the two are not as incompatible as people think.

Or in the eyes of the top leaders of the new party and the old party, no matter how this empire goes back and forth, whoever comes to power and who steps down is also in the hands of "their own people", it is nothing more than my turn today and your turn tomorrow, everything is under control. But once more parties emerge and divide up the resources that are not enough in the first place, what if one day the new party or the old party is removed from the core of power?

This is something that must be guarded against, and it is more important than beware of the power of capital.

So how to do it?

It's very simple, weave a beautiful cage with lies and an unseen future, and then wait for some not-so-honest people to take the initiative to get in, close the cage door, and make these people knock out their own teeth, sharpen their own claws, and turn from a lion into a docile cat!

This kind of method is not only for the people of the old party, but also for the people of the new party!

The mayor smiled bitterly when he thought of this, although he is the mayor, he is still too far from the real core of power. But with the thought that there will be Duhrin with the money and manpower to support him, he will definitely step into that circle and become one of them in the next election year!

Definitely!
