Chapter 193: The Council and the Game
In the blink of an eye, Jiangxin Island spent a week in the tense atmosphere of full-scale preparations, and the male battalion and the heavy cavalry battalion set off on the journey as scheduled, and more than 600 heavily armed corpse hunters left Jiangxin Island with them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There are only more than 700 corpse hunters on Jiangxin Island, and most of them choose to accompany the expedition.
When the mighty fleet set sail, a small ferry boat on the shore quietly followed, looking inconspicuous, and no one knew that the top leader of the Far Salvation Society sat on this tattered ferry.
Yu Qian frowned, staring at Yang Xiaoqian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xiaoqian's travel arrangement. After staring at it for a while and finding that Yang Xiaoqian had no response, Yu Qian opened his mouth and asked, "Is it just the two of us?" ”
Hearing this tough tone, Yang Xiaoqian opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "Not satisfied?" Do things, safety and security are the first thing, why bother to make a big deal when you go far away, so that everyone knows? Don't forget, Yang Yuechen's group of crazy people don't know where to hide. ”
"Keep it low-key, I don't have a problem." Yu Qian said, "But why are only the two of us going?" There are so many awakened people in the Far Salvation Society, why didn't they move? ”
"They each have their own tasks, Fang Yu Xu Le Tang Tao They have taken away most of the cutting-edge combat power, so they have to leave some people to guard the rear, what if an uninvited guest comes to the door?" Yang Xiaoqian seemed to have regained the feeling of fooling Yu Qian half a year ago, and replied with a smile, "We will save the next heart, and the two of us will be enough to represent all the awakened people in the association." ”
"The two of us, how can we suppress the awakened people of other forces?" Yu Qian was still dissatisfied with Yang Xiaoqian's explanation.
"Are you getting harder to convince, or are you more willing to think for yourself now?" Yang Xiaoqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "First of all, you have to believe in our strength. Aside from the 258th Brigade and the front finger of the corpse, other independent settlements, the two of us can be knocked over with one hand. Secondly, this time we are really going to form a parliament. ”
"What do you mean?"
This means that we will form a group of interests with the other awakened ones in a peaceful manner. It is not impossible to force them to obey with violence, but such a parliament will not go far. And, if we do that, by the day the dome disappears, we will be on the opposite side of many people, will the state be happy to see a clique of superpowers that it cannot control? ”
"I don't understand, you say it's simpler."
"Well, an analogy. Assuming that the number of votes for the Council of the Awakened is ten, divided by the number of Awakened and their strength, we, the 258th Brigade and the Archerior Commander, and the rest of the settlements will each have five, three, and two votes. If we can form a council of the awakened and let everyone sit at the same table and negotiate, we can still decide the direction of the situation with five votes, but if we want to make some decisions that are not in their interest, we must make some concessions and win the votes of others. In other words, we will divide the pie of benefits among them in order to pass the decisions we want. ”
"If we want to go our own way, they really can't do anything about us, and it's not impossible for us to engage in dictatorship, but this model will never go far. Because in the eyes of others, we monopolize the vast majority of the benefits, so that they have no interests. It's like playing cards at a table, we just sit down and have a good hand in our hands, and we don't give anyone a chance to play at all, and they don't want to keep playing. But if the voting system is strictly enforced, and the votes in his hand will benefit him, regardless of the strength of the Awoken in the council, then he will continue to play and be enthusiastic about the game. ”
"I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." Yu Qian lowered his head and pondered, as if he understood whether he understood or not.
"Then you put yourself in their shoes. Suppose you are not the vice president of the Far Salvation Society, but an awakened person in an independent settlement, and you don't have a lot of strength. At this time, the Far Salvation Association, which is in sole power and turns the parliament into a one-word hall, wants to implement a certain institutional initiative, and this may not be in your interests, but your fist is not as big as the Far Salvation Association, you can only give in, will you be resentful? ”
"Absolutely." Yu Qian nodded without hesitation, this is human nature.
"If someone else intervenes at this time and tells you that the Far Salvation Society is a bastard, let's join forces against them, will you consider resisting the Far Rescue Society?"
"I think it will."
"Yes, you're going to think about it, because it's none of your business, you're never going to be a winner, you're not playing fun, of course you want to flip the table. Then it's the other way around. If the Council of the Awakened is not a hall of words, the Far Salvation Society is not a monolithic overlord, but just a member with a relatively strong voice. When the Far Salvation Society wants to implement a certain initiative, you have the right to vote against it, and if the Far Rescue Society wants to achieve its goals, it must pay a price for you to compromise, give you enough benefits to vote for it, or abstain from voting. Will you still be disgusted by the Far Salvation Society? ”
"Perhaps...... No? Yu Qian's tone was a little hesitant.
"Hmm. At this time, if you think about other forces, the 258th Brigade, the front finger of the corpse, and other settlements, everyone has their own votes in their hands, which can be used to exchange interests, so no matter who proposes the content of the council's deliberations, whether it has anything to do with you or not, you will care and participate, because your votes will generate value for you. You'll gradually discover that if you make the right choices, you can be a winner in the game. At this time, suddenly someone who doesn't belong to this table comes to you and tells you that it's not a good thing to save the future, don't play with them, and flip his table with me, will you agree? ”
"No!" Yu Qian's eyes lit up and he responded categorically.
"Yes, of course you won't, because you're also a vested interest. Whoever wants to lift the table is not in your interests, and you must exclude him. Yang Xiaoqian applauded Yu Qian's patient thinking, and he had already impatiently dropped a sentence of "what a mess" and ended the conversation.
"Maintain this model and keep improving, so that the Council of the Awakened can go a long way. When the dome dissipates, the state will not be too hostile to parliament. Because the parliament itself is not a stubborn iron bucket, but a cake that can be divided, disintegrated, and slowly drawn. You said that if you were a ruler and you found that there were suddenly a bunch of awakened people with superpowers in your territory, would you be worried? If you don't allow others to sleep on the side of the couch, of course you will be worried, and you will be hostile. But if you find that these awakened people are detached, and you can pull a group to fight a group, or use various means to subdue them, will your first reaction be to suppress and erase them with an iron fist? ”
"I see." Yu Qian finally came to his senses, but as soon as he nodded, he frowned and asked, "You're not fooling me again, are you?" ”
"Haha." Yang Xiaoqian leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, "Even if I want to fool you, what I said is always right, right?" ”
"That's right." Yu Qian asked again, "But in this way, if we want to distribute the benefits to them, won't our interests be lost?" ”
"First, benefits are like money, which will not increase when you put it in your arms, but will create more when you let it out. It's stupid to think like 'there is so much money in the world, and the more you make, the less others will earn'. Secondly, I use the metaphor of the board of cards, although it is rough and superficial, but the essence is correct. Think about it, playing cards at a table, Liu Yuanzhou and I are on the same side, do you think other people have a chance to win us? ”
"Definitely not." Yu Qian learned Yang Xiaoqian's usual posture and shrugged his shoulders, "But, didn't you say that you want to give others a chance to be winners, so that they will be willing to continue playing and be willing to keep this table for you?" ”
"yes, it's not a conflict. They do have a chance to win, but it's not us who wins. ”
Looking at Yang Xiaoqian's unfathomable smile, Yu Qian thought for a long time and suddenly woke up.
