Chapter 352: Someone's Gift
In an elected government, the people hold the highest power and have the final decision-making power on any matter, which is inevitable when society develops to a certain stage, and majority politics will not at least bring the whole society to an extreme direction.
However, majority politics does not mean that it is right. The ability to see the future direction of development has always been in the hands of a few elites, and the extreme division of labor in specialization has allowed high-tech new technology to be in the minds of this part of the people, for whom the people mean mediocrity, and mediocrity is the original sin of social development.
These are irreconcilable contradictions, but they can be compromised with each other.
At least no one can afford the devastating consequences of a split between the two.
The retention of the land of the gods, the retention of the zenith of the excesses, the independent control of the space by the space columns, and the additional power of the elite over society, the democratically elected government finally used these four points to reach an agreement with the elites, in exchange for their commitment not to set foot in the highest social power, in exchange for the impetus for the steady progress of society.
Of course, in order to guarantee this commitment, both sides have left some hole cards in their hands, which are enough to make the other side keep their promises - the ability to destroy each other is probably the most effective constraint to ensure peace.
"The superior environment makes the total population continue to explode, but the total number of resources needs to be obtained by the pioneers from different planes, which is the legitimate basis for the elite to obtain social power above the average person." The butler took the trouble to explain in detail, his tone was humble and unhurried, and the rest of the personnel had already settled in the palace, and only he was always following Zhao Gao's identity to explain all this to him, "According to the interpretation of Article 7 of the Supreme Charter, the give and return should be related, and without violating the basic rights of the people in the first six articles, the pioneers have higher rights to be protected by the law." ”
"Pure!" Zhao Gao, who was sitting on the throne, raised his eyebrows and replied disdainfully. One thing he can be sure of in his mind is that the people will only be a front, the so-called compromise is nothing but a compromise between different interest groups, and the so-called balance is nothing but the redistribution of the interests of vested interest groups and emerging interest groups.
At least judging by the name "United Principality of the West", this is definitely not the only country here.
"No need to continue!" Zhao Gao waved his hand and stood up, the food and fruits provided by the servants did meet the standards of the king, and many precious utensils were something he had never seen before. However, he stopped the butler from trying to explain further. From the moment he knew that the entire palace, including these slaves, was nothing more than a copy, the original joy and smugness had all disappeared, and there was still a faint anger in his heart that he had been deceived.
At the beginning of the advanced pioneer, the ark space automatically divided one-third of the points of the old guy's team, and the skill points and some props and items belonging to Zhao Gao were stored in his private space, just before communicating with the housekeeper, in order to win people's hearts, he also rewarded a part, although the amount had almost no effect, but this stupid hat behavior still made him angry.
"The affairs of the Principality are not directly related to me, and no matter which side you represent, you don't need to try to win me over at this stage." Zhao Gao glanced at it, and most of the more than a hundred slaves had blank expressions, and they all acted in a disciplined manner. Except for the old butler, the other three of the four people who were close to him were also the same person, and these copied people were indeed real, but they still suffered some irreversible trauma in terms of spirit.
There is no influence on the mind, and the emotions are full of changes, but the mechanical nature of the reproduction makes all their words and deeds digitized, and they are not fundamentally a complete person at all.
Among them, this butler is the only one who is different. Although his tone is the same as everyone else, the look in his eyes can't deceive people, especially in front of Zhao Gao, who has the talent of "discerning", subjectively once he pays attention, this flaw that is not deliberately concealed cannot be hidden at all.
"How do you get to the Land of the Gods?" Zhao Gao didn't want to dwell on these anymore, frowned, and asked the housekeeper.
"The square we came to just now is the gate of this palace." The housekeeper is not discouraged, the probability of one-time persuasion is too small, and there is no fool who can advance to the pioneer, as long as Zhao Gao does not drive him away, it is equivalent to retaining the opportunity to continue to persuade later.
It's not a success, but it's not a failure either. There are pioneers of all kinds of personalities, and it is possible to be torn to pieces by them with extraordinary powers at the first time they are exposed, and once this happens, he will slowly become one of those slaves.
"I'm afraid those statues are also living creatures, guarding the palace, right?" Zhao Gao smiled, and walked out without waiting for the housekeeper to answer, since someone has wooed him, it means that his value here is also not low, but he can't sell himself in a daze.
"Your Pioneer number is your palace number." The housekeeper who sent Zhao Gao to the gate of the square did not follow, but just bent down and told him carefully.
"You can't leave here anymore?" Zhao Gao said and stepped into a small circle in the middle of the square, and suddenly turned around and asked.
A hint of despair could be clearly seen in the butler's eyes. From the moment he was assigned, his soul had been bound to this small piece of place and could never leave again. He is a gift from that force to show sincerity, a living object, and as for the feelings and thoughts of the gift, it has never been something that is within the scope of the thinking of the superiors.
"I'll set you free when I get a chance." Zhao Gao nodded to him casually and said, his skill is summoning, and he doesn't care about more or less servants. At the same time, his pioneer authority was activated, and this small circle was still a small node of time and space, connecting the palace to the outside.
The butler's humble smile didn't get any brighter because of this sentence. He is familiar with the rules and knows his fate better than Zhao Gao, as for what Zhao Gao said, in his opinion, there is no difference between it and some points spilled at the beginning, it is nothing more than to buy people's hearts.
Of course, this has no effect on Zhao Gao, he just said it casually, if he really has to pay a big price for this, probably he will not want to refuse it, the Holy Mother complex of doing something for strangers has never happened to him.
It's just that he doesn't have time to think about this at the moment, the land of the gods is not as hospitable as he imagined, and the moment he stepped out of the aperture, a circle of people had automatically surrounded him, so he didn't have time to take a good look at this legendary land.
