"How can I guess?" The old man has the persistent energy to break the casserole pattern to the end, and he is not embarrassed to inquire into other people's unique skills and privacy.

Jiao Ming, a normal personality, was happy to have this question, so he changed his face slightly and said slowly. Of course, the process of explanation is indispensable for Dieda's help, after all, many things are translated from Chinese to Lingua Franca, and the old man's lingua franca level is also limited to daily communication and magical knowledge, and he is completely indifferent to these new splicing and combination words, which must be translated by Dieda into Hongshan language.

In the process of explaining, Jiao Ming did not forget to observe the expressions of the old man and Ms. Yisi, and became more and more sure of his thoughts:

The history of the Hongshan Kingdom is not short, and the way in which individuals change their social status is less than that of the ancient Zhong Kingdom, there is less imperial examination, but there is more path of magician, but the latter is obviously not so effective. This has caused the solidification of the aristocratic class, and the official position and bloodline inheritance system plus the magic power have reduced the cost of rule, which will only make these high-level corrupt and degenerate more quickly and thoroughly, if it were not for the entire kingdom union and even the entire continent to be like this bear, forming a 'worse than rotten' state, the national fortune of the Red Mountain Kingdom would definitely not be so long.

In the end, Jiao Ming summed it up like this: "Playing war games with such an administrative system is bound to be costly, and those small frictions report big victories but have no real benefits, and the loss of money is certain." Now you may be able to rely on your rich family to carry on, but presumably Mr. can also see that the various loopholes and flaws in this system will not heal by themselves, but will only get bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable to lose all the family foundation. ”

After chatting for a long time, the old man had already restrained his emotions, only Yisi was still frowning and pondering, affirming Jiao Ming's argument on the side.

"Sir's words are really startling!" the old man first praised with an expressionless face, and then asked in a steady tone as always: "But if according to what Mr. said, is it the easiest way to maintain a huge country by doing nothing?

Jiao Ming shook his head, "A microscope, I don't know if you've ever heard of it." ”

"I've heard a little. ”

"The latest microscope developed by the Tro Beak Town Medical College has confirmed that plants and animals, including humans, are made up of tiny cells with different functional traits and structures. ”

This is a novel statement, at least much more reliable than the propaganda of the madmen on the other side of the sea. The old man smiled, glanced at Ms. Yisi on the other side, and nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Then what does this have to do with my problem?"

"It seems to me that if each citizen is compared to a tiny cell, then the state can also be regarded as a strange form of life, with birth, old age, sickness, and even death. Speaking of this, Jiao Ming paused slightly, staring at the other party's expression: "Compared to other countries, the Red Mountain Kingdom is not an exaggeration to be regarded as an old man. So take yourself as an example, do you feel overwhelmed all the time, do you feel that enjoying an afternoon without anything to worry about is the happiest thing?"

The old man's face trembled, and he didn't know whether he was told the central thing or the level of annoyance, but after all, he didn't say anything about it, and just asked, "There is no way to rejuvenate yourself?"

Jiao Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that his words had succeeded, and he could be regarded as wrapping the old man in, and said with a smile: "All of the above are metaphors, but 'metaphor' is not a kind of logical reasoning of 'proof'. In other words, there is really no way to rejuvenate people, but there is a way to rejuvenate the country. ”

As soon as these words fell, the entire hull shook slightly, and Jiao Ming rolled his eyes and looked around and made a guess, could it be that the condensation on the hull outside was the old man in front of him.

"Please sir elaborate. ”

"I am new to the land of precious treasures, and I am not familiar with it, and even if I tell me a complete set of methods, you should know in your wisdom that this is not reliable at all. But in the general direction, please listen to it. Jiao Ming ate a few bites of fruit unhurriedly, not only to sort out his thoughts, but also to hang the other party's appetite, "The kingdom needs more decision-makers like the king. ”

The old man immediately frowned, and without the interference of divine power, the royal power naturally successfully achieved the commanding heights. Born and raised in such an environment, any sentence in which 'more' and 'king' appear at the same time is inevitably associated with civil strife or division.

Jiao Ming was also helpless when he saw this, the other party was obviously a rather calm guy, during the whole conversation, most of the polite smiles were smiling, and there were very few expressions that really showed his heart, and this frowning expression was obviously not simple. In desperation, he had no choice but to use a more tactful way, hooked his fingers back to ask for a pen and paper, and at the same time worked with the madman's personality to write down some information about biological anatomy in the two research institutes of Birdbeak Town and Crocodile Collar, and said while letting Lotus deliver it: "It is still a metaphor between the country and animals and plants, and it is written on the comparison of the quality of brain tissue, muscle tissue, blood, organs and other organs of several animals. If you compare the few people who can make decisions, including the king, in the Red Mountain Kingdom to brain tissue, compared to the number of the entire people, it is less than one in ten thousand. That's a number that's worse than a frog, let alone a human with two percent brain tissue. ”

This is another fallacy proved by metaphor, and there are still loopholes such as weighting, dry weight, energy consumption, etc., but it is almost enough to fool a feudal old man.

"But the king ......"

"Of course, there is still only one throne, and there is no need to worry about that. Jiao Ming waved his hand, which was a reassurance, and after a pause, he said again from a different angle: "I don't know anything about the top level of your country, but I think there is also a certain system of deliberation, and the heads of many families and the strong men of the Nine Rings, although they are nominally subordinate to the king, but the king can really act arbitrarily regardless of everyone's opinions? I guess not necessarily."

And this reform of expanding the decision-making level is to gather these powerful people or individuals with the right to speak to form a parliament, and establish the existence of the parliament in the form of a supreme law. Of course, the most basic goal is to ensure that the existing rights of the head of the family and the powerful are not violated, and as for how much additional power can be taken out of the hands of the king, it depends on the ability of the first council. ”

"It doesn't seem to have changed much. The old man pondered for a moment and furrowed his brows.

Seeing the change in the old man's attitude, Jiao Ming continued to talk about this set of political reform plans.

"This is only the first step, after the establishment of this upper council, and then find some people from the middle and lower ranks who are not good at magic, but have other talents, to form a large lower council. First give them the right to listen to and discuss politics, and as for what happens in the future, we will see the effect. ”

There was silence in the cabin again, and after a long time, the old man probably sorted out the structure of this thing, and found its fundamental foundation: "Ensuring the existence of the upper and lower councils with a law that the king cannot repeal, does not this law say that this law is above the royal power?"

That's exactly what it means. We can call it the Constitution, above all of them. Of course, it is possible to make it simpler and broader, and then set up a set of cumbersome procedures for amending the constitution, so as to leave the possibility of changes and prevent future generations from tampering with them arbitrarily. Jiao Ming clapped his hands: "Qi Huo!"

Of course, a real constitutional monarchy is not so simple, but these words are just the equivalent of movie props, and it is the duty to draw some pies, and the overall picture is correct.

"Constitution ......" the old man muttered a few times, but shook his head. "It should be considered humiliating for our king to bow to a word offered by his vassals. ”

The implication is that we are not optimistic about this reform plan, which has no details and no examples.

"It's up to you to speak. But come to think of it, in the face of greater humiliation, this is nothing?"

"Greater humiliation?"

"For example, after the defeat of the war, a treaty was signed to humiliate the country. ”

"How is this possible. The old man scoffed.

"Hehe, who knows. Jiao Ming chuckled and shrugged.

The reason why this is so is only because the mad personality in the brain has been unreservedly revealed, and the secret weapon of the silent personality: the green mist potion. There is no need to doubt the appeal of this new thing, nor to doubt that Tro understands that it is not sold because of morality, but when the terrible side of this thing is revealed, the reason for war appears, and with a little incitement, war will inevitably break out. And Jiao Ming is not optimistic about this sluggish and cumbersome Red Mountain Kingdom.

The old man may be tired, perhaps he wants to ponder this conversation alone, and after a few polite words, he asks Yisi to send him off. Jiao Ming took half a step out of the cabin, and then remembered that he didn't know the identity of the old man, and turned his head and said, "May I ask the surname Gao." ”

The old man was also stunned, remembering that he was squeezed out by words at the beginning of the meeting, he really laughed from the bottom of his heart, and reported to his family: "Ryopert." ”

As she left the boat and took the boat back to the broken shop, Ms. Iss suddenly asked, "Are you pretending to be calm or have you really never heard the name?"

"What?" Jiao Ming, who was thinking about something else, was stunned.

"It seems to be the latter. Lady Yisi nodded, cleared her throat again, and said, "The one I just met with you is the father-in-law of the current king, the patriarch of the second largest family in the kingdom, and the master of earth magic above the nine rings......"

Jiao Ming pretended to be dumbfounded, stood up and caused the boat to shake, and exclaimed, "No!? ”

Ms. Yi Si was so confused by this clumsy acting that she forgot the following words, blinked her eyes twice, scareled people into a failed plan, shook her head with a wry smile and asked, "Don't you have a little reverence for the strong?"

"Political wisdom and the strength of one's magic are two vertical axes, and no matter how far you run on one axis, you will only have zero on the other. In the future I envision, any nine-ring powerhouse is just the life of a bodyguard. ”

Ms. Yisi had not argued with Jiao Ming's confidence for a long time, and when she heard this argument, she could only shake her head, which probably meant 'you are happy'. Jiao Ming, a normal personality, hurriedly coaxed the manic clamor of the crazy personality in his brain, acted as a mediator in the negotiation, and asked with a wry smile: "Can you tell me about the arrangements for tomorrow's celebration?" By the way, give me two beautiful maids as tour guides, otherwise I will have to break some big things with you and reach the level of 'you are also happy'." ”

Ms. Yisi didn't understand what the threat in the second half meant, but she recommended herself with an aristocratic demeanor. In the dim glow of magic lights, as a local, he tells the details of the entertainment celebrations of tomorrow's autumn harvest celebration. Boat races, dance performances, coconut fights, and more, and after the introduction of traditional programs, it was mentioned that there was a new special program this year: movies.

"Oh?" Jiao Ming was a little interested this time, "Is it Tro's collar?, or is it the crocodile collar?"

"Yes, and there are several famous comedy troupes that don't admit defeat to compete. Ms. Yisi chuckled, as a strong man with eight rings, she naturally had the opportunity to see the charm of the movie, although she already had the answer to the victory or defeat in her heart, but she also looked forward to the wonderful performances of these theater troupes with all their might. "Oh, by the way, I remember that you are a crocodile leader, and there is a crocodile leader visiting group at this festival, do you want to meet it?"

Feeling the shock of Luohua's delicate body beside him, Jiao Ming pulled his little hand and pinched it, but he still shook his head and said, "It's too late today to disturb, let's follow tomorrow." ”

For the crocodile collar, the madman personality and the silent personality can all be treated equally, and there is no psychological pressure when it should be pitted. Only normal personalities are worried, all kinds of awkwardness, want to contact but subconsciously avoid it, not simply to the extreme.

Lanhai University was established in the early days of the New Bell Kingdom and was located in the southern suburbs of the Magic Capital at that time. Although it is not as good as some century-old schools, due to its identity as the first batch of self-built institutions of higher learning in the new Zhongguo, it is naturally inclined in the allocation of educational resources. But there are advantages and disadvantages, because its color background is too distinct, until the nineties of the last century, it was not able to invite internationally renowned scholars and professors to teach, coupled with the general admiring mentality in the academic circles at that time, so I could only bite the tail of the top universities and eat farts even if I tried my best. After entering the 21st century, with the weakening of color consciousness and the take-off of the economy of Xinzhongguo, Lanhai University has taken advantage of the situation, coupled with the achievements of graduates trained in the past few decades in all aspects of the country. The tragic change of principal four years ago can be corroborated by the fact that one of the candidates was turned out of old accounts, directly discredited, and all kinds of careers came to an end.

Of course, the above are all statements on the surface, and there is only one reason for such a tragedy, that is, the soaring land price in the magic capital. The magic capital is accompanied by the river and the sea, and compared with the plain city, there is only half of the follow-up development space, and every inch of land is even more valuable. During the establishment of Lanhai University, it also adhered to the atmosphere of the time, with a large area of greenery and ancillary supporting units, from staff kindergartens to bathhouses, and even a special ice cream factory. What a big piece of land this is, multiplied by the land price, the picture is so beautiful that many people can't sleep when they think about it.
