Episode 4: The Battle for Votes

The capital of Liang County of Guiguo is Hanzhong City, located in the central region of Guiguo, which is one of the oldest cities in Guiguo and one of the economic center cities of Guiguo. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It is surrounded by hills, the city is located in the middle of the basin, the terrain is flat, the water and grass are abundant, the products are abundant, the population is more than 800,000, it is an important economic center of the Gui country, and it is also the city that the Gui royal family has been focusing on in the past, although it has been looted by the war, but still maintains a strong vitality and vitality.

On this day, the entire city of Hanzhong was empty, and almost all the residents of the city, regardless of their occupation, whether they were cultivators or ordinary mortals, put down their work, and hundreds of thousands of residents spontaneously came to the ten polling stations in the city to register and vote for voters to represent Hanzhong City in the National Assembly.

According to the provisions of the founding convention, the parliamentary elections include local elections and central elections, and the whole country is divided into more than 30 constituencies, each of which occupies a certain proportion of the parliament according to the number of voters, and each party runs in each constituency. Because of its population and importance, the number of seats in the National Assembly is as high as four, and the total number of members of the National Assembly is only about 100.

Because this election is so important, each party sent its best people to run for election, and there are four MPs in the Hanzhong City election: Lin Da representing the Communist Party, Gui Qin representing the Wang Tong Party, Gui Jun representing the Shi Party, and Modi, a representative of the Minsheng Party of the local small party in Hanzhong City.

At this time, at one of the largest polling stations, Lin Da and Guiqin of the Gui ethnic group were standing in front of their respective polling stations, soliciting propaganda from the more than 10,000 people queuing up to vote in front of them. Of course, in addition to the two men themselves, each candidate has a large group of aides who loudly advocate to the people, publicize their respective governing measures, and mobilize the people to vote for them.

"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, welcome everyone to vote for our Lord Qin! Lord Qin is a rare cultivation wizard of our Gui clan, who broke through to the late stage of the realm at a young age, and is likely to be the first choice of the Gui clan to break through to the Dan realm in the next five years! Lord Qin is not only highly qualified, but also has remarkable military achievements, and has taken the lead in killing the enemy many times in the war against Vietnam, and has made great contributions! Please come and vote for Lord Qin!"

Several low-ranking Gui monks who had cast the Giant Voice spell shouted loudly at the people, vigorously promoting for their own side. Behind them, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a brocade robe, with a grim expression, was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, showing a hint of impatience from time to time, without any hint of interaction with the crowd, and his eyes were full of pride. Although he was silent, the corner of his eye also glanced at another polling station dozens of meters away from time to time, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

However, despite the propaganda monks of the Gui tribe doing their best to propagate Guiqin and almost becoming a god-like figure, the people did not have much interest in voting for him, and instead crowded to the polling station where Linda was located to line up to vote.

Different from Gui Qin's cold and dragging appearance, Lin Da was wearing extremely ordinary civilian clothes today, wearing ordinary linen clothes produced by the Blue Star Clan's enterprises, a pair of flat cloth shoes, and a kind smile on his face, at first glance he looked like an ordinary laborer, not like a famous commander of the mortal army at all. But no matter how low-key Linda is, the powerful aura unique to a high-ranking monk exuded from his body makes people have to look at him differently, which is both majestic and solemn and amiable. He was even more eager to communicate and shake hands with the people around him, and answered various questions raised by the people, and such a pro-people performance immediately aroused the goodwill of all the people.

"This is General Lin! Why is he dressed like that?"

"Yes, he is actually wearing the same clothes as us! How is this possible?!Is this really General Lin?"

"Nonsense! What do you mortals know! How can you see his cultivation?! General Lin's strength is so strong and his cultivation is so deep that even we realm cultivators can't see through it! Except for General Lin, who else in Gui Kingdom has such courage!"

"It is said that General Lin loves the people like a son and leads troops into the gods, and the mortal army was created by him from under Tianlun Peak!"

"Yes, I heard that General Lin was able to kill Dan Realm monks during his time in the Realm Realm, and he once single-handedly defeated the two peak princes of the Gui Clan!

It is said that when General Lin led his troops back to Xiaoyu County from Tianlun Peak, he had rescued millions of refugees along the way and rescued many people from the Vietnamese army, and he was a great hero and benefactor of the people!"

"Yes, great benefactor! Great benefactor! So what are we waiting for, why don't we hurry up and vote for him?!"

"Yes, yes!! vote for him!"

......

The people's words, my words, spread Linda's heroic deeds one after another, and Linda soon became a big hero in the eyes of the people, coupled with his steady and calm mature atmosphere, it attracted the hearts of many girls. Linda suddenly became popular, and more and more people gradually gathered at the polling station.

Seeing that Linda had attracted so many voters, Gui Qin's face became more and more ugly. He has always regarded himself very highly, although his strength has not yet reached the level of several Dan Realm elders in the clan, but he is definitely the best among the younger generation of the Gui clan. Because he has been cultivating in the clan, when he went out of the customs, it coincided with the time when the Gui army counterattacked the Yue country, and he had been participating in the counterattack war against Vietnam on the front line, and he didn't know much about the situation in the country, and he had never seen Linda's brave performance. Seeing Linda's ordinary appearance, I couldn't help but feel contempt. But now Linda has attracted so many people, which is completely unexpected, and for him, who thinks highly of himself, it is tantamount to a slap in the face.

So, Gui Qin called a few of his subordinates and whispered a few words. After hearing this, his subordinates hurriedly nodded yes and immediately retreated.

After a while, a huge shout suddenly came from the Gui polling place, which attracted the attention of all the people at once, and only one Gui monk was heard shouting: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, everyone hurry up! Our Lord Guiqin has something to say, as long as everyone comes and votes for him, each person will get a silver coin!"

After saying that, thousands of silver coins immediately flew out from behind the monk, floating in the air in a very regular manner, shining, and immediately attracting the attention of tens of thousands of people present.

Everyone didn't expect the Gui clan to have such a big spend, and they were willing to take out so many silver taels to buy votes, you must know that a silver coin is not a small amount of money, enough for an ordinary family to consume for a month. Under the temptation of huge profits, many people immediately couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward frantically, vying to vote for silver coins.

The hand of the Gui tribe immediately attracted many people to pass, and the people who were still queuing in front of the polling station where Linda was located also hesitated, not knowing whether they should change to vote for the Gui people, and some people who had already voted regretted it even more, and they wanted to vote for the Gui people instead to receive a silver coin.

Seeing that the people were finally attracted to him, although Guiqin was sad to spend such a large amount of money in her heart, her face showed pride, and she also glanced at Linda not far away defiantly.

Seeing this, Linda's election team immediately became furious, but there was nothing to be done, because at this time, because the election was carried out in a bit hasty, there was no relevant legal provision prohibiting bribery, and the Gui clan's obvious cheating did not violate any rules. Some people immediately suggested to Linda: "General Lin, look, are we going to send you something too..."

Lin Da shook his head, glanced at the crazy crowd, sighed lightly, used the giant sound spell, and said, "Fellow villagers, fathers, please listen to Lin Mou!"

Hearing Linda's words, everyone immediately looked over curiously, while the people of the Gui election team showed a look of vigilance. Seeing this, Gui Qin interjected loudly: "What's the matter, does General Lin also plan to learn from the following methods and give everyone silver coins? Hehehe, I don't know how much money General Lin brought today to meet the needs of your fellow villagers?"

Linda shook her head and replied, "No! ”

As soon as these words came out, the people were in an uproar, and Gui Qin sneered and said disdainfully: "General Lin, since you can't give anything to the people, then what did you call it just now? Do you want to directly admit that you gave up this election? In this way, I really want to thank you!

Lin Da replied: "Lord Guiqin's family is well-off, and Lin thinks that he is insufficient, and he can't take out money to exchange votes like you, but I am a person of faithfulness, and I hereby assure you that if the Xiu Party can be successfully elected, what can be fed back to the people is far more than the silver coins in your hands now!"

When Gui Qin heard this, he immediately showed a look of disdain, and the people immediately talked about it, not knowing what Lin Da said more and what he meant.

Linda continued: "Fellow villagers, one silver coin is indeed a great fortune. But which is more important than the votes in your hands? The votes represent the power you have, and you can use the votes to decide the life you want in the future, to determine the direction of your life, and to have this kind of full strength is by no means something that can be sold for a small coin!"

"I promise that if the Communist Party succeeds in the election, I will bring more benefits to Hanzhong City! I will bring more enterprises and factories to Hanzhong City, bring tens of thousands of jobs to everyone, and the monthly salary of each hired worker will not be less than one silver coin. I will also build roads and railways in Hanzhong City, renovate the whole city, build more schools and hospitals, pay more attention to people's livelihood and education, and help all those in need to live a happier life!"

"Everyone, a silver coin will soon be spent, but a single vote can change the fate of the entire city, please listen to me! Use your votes to decide the future of Hanzhong City!"

Linda said loudly, and the sound enveloped the entire Hanzhong City, so that the entire inhabitants of the city heard the shocking words.

The people of Hanzhong City carefully recalled Linda's words, and soon, some people immediately came to their senses and took the initiative to go to the polling station of the Fanxiu Party to vote. The election campaign has taken another stunning turn!

It is not surprising that people have made such a choice. The city of Hanzhong once fell into the hands of the Vietnamese army, was destroyed by the Vietnamese army, and now it is in ruins, and the people are living in poverty, which is why as soon as the royal family took out so many silver coins, so many ethnic groups immediately joined in. But as Linda said, a silver coin can only solve the immediate crisis, to truly solve the difficulties of the whole city, in the end it is up to Linda to rebuild the economy, vigorously develop people's livelihood, and make the city prosperous again.

Moreover, in the hearts of most people in Hanzhong City, the impression of the Gui people is really not very good. The Gui officer who stayed in Hanzhong City retreated only barely to resist the Vietnamese army, and this kind of escape made the residents of the city deeply ashamed, and even made the whole city fall into the clutches of the Vietnamese army. Therefore, except for a few people who were loyal to the royal family, no one else would vote for the Gui family.

When everyone in the Gui campaign team heard Linda's words, they were stunned at first, and when they saw the people leaving their ranks one after another, they were shocked, and hurriedly sent people to dissuade the people, but the people didn't pay attention to these Gui monks at all, and the originally dense voting crowd soon decreased by half.

Gui Qin was stunned when he saw the people changing so quickly. For Linda's promise to the people, he couldn't think of any words to refute it for a while, and his face was extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to forcibly drag the people to vote, so he had to stare at the voters to vote for Linda, and his eyes were as if he was about to breathe fire, and he was angry.

Days of voting were quickly over, and as expected, Linda's campaign team won the election with 90 percent of the vote, bringing four seats to the Van Thu Party!
