It is natural that those who oppose the old party's "theory of the threat of capital" are the "reformers" of the new party, and the prosperity of a city is directly related to the prosperity of commerce, which has been demonstrated in the past feudal imperial period. If a city is prosperous and its business is prosperous, it will be able to get more taxes for the development of the country and the development of the city under the relatively clean and honest government system.

The essence of this point is the same whether it is the new party or the old party, but the ultimate goals and emphases of the two sides are different.

Merchants can greatly activate the trade behavior of a region, and only when the trade behavior becomes more can all parties benefit. As for the absurd argument put forward by the old party that "businessmen achieve the goal of controlling the country by controlling the people", the new party absolutely does not admit it. In the eyes of many "enlightened people", the benefits of capitalists to society and to the country far outweigh the disadvantages.

Capitalists contribute jobs, which can reduce the number of unemployed people in a region, thereby alleviating conflicts at all levels and enhancing law and order. There is absolutely no problem with the fact that the workers get money for their hard work, and the capitalists are willing to pay for the results of such labor, the capitalists get the product, and the workers get the money.

The sale of goods in exchange for the circulation of money, and the ruling party also obtained enough taxes for the development and construction of the city. When cities become better, they attract more foreign capital, which leads to more jobs, more goods, more salaries, and more taxes for city managers.

This is a virtuous circle, and the root of everything is the emergence of capitalists. Of course, the New Party has also established many laws and regulations to restrict the behavior of businessmen, such as the "Minimum Hourly Wage Law" or the "Workers' Basic Security Law", as well as trade unions and other social organizations to voluntarily protect the interests of workers and prevent capitalists from exploiting workers excessively in order to make money.

You must know that in the past, many places were implementing the primitive way of bartering, and the power of capital was greatly weakened and controlled by the regime. They are reluctant to build large factories, to hire too many workers, and not to pay those workers full wages. Only in this way can they avoid a potentially tragic fate.

But in such an environment, is the development of the social system healthy?

This answer is not necessarily, because in the feudal imperial period, in fact, the behavior of many nobles themselves is equivalent to the behavior of the capitalists now, but this kind of behavior is carried out in another form under certain coats, so many people do not understand.

In modern times, whether the power of capital is good or bad, excessive discussion is actually meaningless, but one thing is certain, the power of capital is rapidly expanding.

Heidler is a core member of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and he takes turns to be the vice president of the branch in Turner City, as for why Turnier, it is because although Turnier is very remote, it is one of the hubs of freight transportation, so a high-ranking core member of the Chamber of Commerce is needed to sit here. He's just a businessman now, and the mayor needs to be a little careful about his words when chatting with him.

Because he understands that he is now the mayor of a city, but for Heidler, who is a core member of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, he actually has no special advantage. And this is one of the things that the old party fears the most.

They can use huge sums of wealth to open up joints and thus influence the choices of politicians, and Peter believes that if he does something that is detrimental to the overall interests of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, he may not need his old father-in-law, who is paralyzed in bed, to speak, and someone will clean him up, and he is still his own person in the old party.

After gossiping for a long time, the mayor finally began to point the topic to the heart of today.

Heideler nodded without hesitation, "Actually, I can't quite say that, I'm a mixed race of Gualts and Ogdings, and my mother is a pure-blooded Ogding. ”

The mayor nodded in realization, no one knew what he was thinking, "I've heard that you've been engaged in charity and rescue activities for the Gualtes, right?"

Heideler nodded again, he had no way to veto this kind of thing, in order to change his image in the eyes of the Gualts, he always helped the poor Gualts for free. Although it often happens that the Gualts would rather starve to death or freeze to death than accept his aid, he is still enthusiastic about it. He also often fished out some imprisoned Gualts, or found a good lawyer for these imprisoned Gualts to help them win their lawsuits.

After a lot of work, time, wealth and toil, a small group of people finally reversed their opinion of him, and only a small number of people.

Graff, for example, was one of them.

The mayor pushed his fingers back and forth on the rim of the teacup, glanced at Heidler, and asked, "I heard that you know a country Guert man named Doolin, who founded the Fellow Townsman and started a trading house, and there are several murders and injuries involving him that are being investigated on the Proneau's side. What is the relationship between you and Durin?"

Heideler pondered and said, "He is a junior I am very optimistic about, and he is also very thoughtful. He approached me and said that he wanted to set up a group to help the Gualts, and I believed him and gave him some financial assistance. ”

The last thing the mayor wanted to hear was the last thing Heideler wanted to hear, he was a Gualt, and the Gualts didn't like him, and the Ogdinians didn't like him as much. He is always careful not to give his opponents any chance. When he heard that Plando was investigating Doolin, Heideler was relieved by his foresight. He was still careful, though, and he wasn't sure if the mayor wanted to use Durin as a springboard and let the stick fall on him.

The struggle in the Chamber of Commerce is not at all weaker than the political struggle, and there are only so many seats in the council, which represents the concentration and decentralization of power in the Chamber of Commerce. He is stronger than Heidler in the Chamber of Commerce, but he is not a big businessman who is not a member of parliament, nor is he a big businessman. He was also able to be selected thanks to his Gualt status, just like the other two provincial Yaren parliamentarians. Out of the most primitive pursuit of profits, attracting one or two representative foreigners into the chamber of commerce is also extremely beneficial to the propaganda and work of the chamber of commerce, but this does not mean that others will give up the possibility of committing crimes against him.

So, in the face of a possible crisis, Heidler, as always, chose to weigh the pros and cons and then trade, just like a mature businessman. Although he felt that it was a pity, if it weren't for this, Durin would most likely become a big man in the next twenty to thirty years, but it was always "if"!

Don't you think Durin is my man? Very well, then I'll give him to you, so that I can always clear my suspicion, right?

"You should know that I am a legitimate Imperial merchant and I never do anything illegal. I knew the Doryn you mentioned, and he made me believe with seductive words that he had founded the Townsfolk Union to better serve the Guartes, but I did not expect him to be such a murderous thug. Rest assured, if there is anything that requires my cooperation, I will definitely cooperate to the end. Heideler laughs and "trades" Durin for his innocence, as his father and himself have done countless times.

The mayor raised an eyebrow, "Thank you very much for your support of justice, I will talk to Plando." He paused at this point, as if remembering something, "By the way, do you know a Guert named Jon?"

"I don't know!", Heideler replied quickly and decisively, and at the same time he asked with a little curiosity: "This name has been almost all over the streets of the city for a while, and I take the liberty of asking, I can know what this Jon has done that the whole city is looking for him?"

The mayor always had a friendly smile on his face, "It's nothing, it's all unimportant." ”

After the silence of the council, the mayor said: "Thank you for being invited to join us today in your busy schedule, thank you very much, we had a very pleasant conversation and I am looking forward to the next one." After the mayor had said everything he needed to say and asked, he got up, and Heideler stood up, and after the two shook hands, the mayor sent Heideler out of the office door before parting.

When he returned to his office, the mayor thought about it carefully, and he thought that the connection between Heideler and Doolin was definitely more than Heideler himself said, and that the two might have a deeper connection and relationship. It is quite possible that Durin is Heidler's white glove, specializing in doing things for him that he is not good enough to show up with. Even the appearance of "Jon" is Heideler's arrangement.

So what was his purpose in doing this? Every word that Heideler said, the mayor did not believe!

Standing by the window and watching Heidler depart in his own car, the mayor turned back to his desk, and without hesitation, wrote a few lines, folded them and taught them to the maid, "Take them to Plando, and tell him to look at them himself." ”

The maid took the letter as if she had been given some kind of mission, and left the office with a sacred expression on her face.
