Campaigning is actually an auction of power, and another nice way to put it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When a candidate expounds his views and governance philosophy in his speech, it is actually equivalent to showing his "bidding process" to the general public and those in high positions. The most intuitive thing is that in an election year in another world, this candidate says I'm going to solve the problem of feeding you, and the other candidate will say, I'm going to make you not only have enough to eat, but also eat well.

In exchange, the first person will say, in addition to feeding you, I will also provide 2,000 jobs. Another candidate said, "I'll offer 3,000 jobs."

In the end, after several or more rounds of bidding, the highest bidder wins. From this point of view, is the so-called election campaign like an auction of power? The auction item is a certain level of management authority, and the way of bidding is the change they promise to bring about after taking office.

When the highest bidder gets the opportunity to manage, he must fulfill his promise during his tenure, which can also be seen as the redemption period after the auction. During the redemption period, if the winner gives his chips to the auction in full, then everyone is happy, and he gets not only power, but more chips - a perfect resume that will be transformed into a shiny golden chip in the next auction.

If you do not fulfill your promise within the redemption period, then the auction has the right to recover the power that has been left, and this way of retrieving is impeachment.

In this way, it does not make sense to treat the election campaign as an auction of power.

So is there any benefit to campaigning?

Of course there are benefits, both for the empire and for the people.

In order to compete for the lot, bidders constantly raise their bids, and in reality, these bids are changes, idealized changes.

I want to make the country richer and stronger, and it is no longer an empty word, but a goal that must be earnestly fulfilled and implemented by those who win the auction.

In practice, if Sarcomo wanted to become the lord of a city, he would not only satisfy the citizens with his future agenda, but also the royal family. And the way to satisfy the royal family is cheaper and simpler than the price that satisfies the citizens, and that is taxation, and sovereignty that is less problematic.

Paying more taxes every year is how they bid against the royal family, and as for how to successfully complete this task, then it has nothing to do with the royal family.

After Wren's detailed explanation, Empress Pars was obviously very interested, a group of people who were not nobles not only had to help her manage the empire's large and small cities, but also gave her a larger tax than before, and at the same time, these people did not have too many privileges, and it was easier to purge them.

Taxes are a good thing, and whether a country is strong or not depends on whether it is rich or not. Money is an all-purpose currency that can buy almost everything in this world, including those that people thought they couldn't buy.

In this way, Empress Pars has earned, and after thinking about it, Gan Wensi also feels that there is a trick.

As long as the birth and expansion of the aristocratic group can be restricted, then it is a good thing for these two, not to mention that these people will try their best to build and develop cities and pay more taxes for greater power, which is simply a super all-in-one gift package.

At this moment, Empress Pars was really moved, she glanced at Ganwen, there was still a trace of hesitation in Ganwen's eyes, he was not sure if the idea proposed by Wren was really so flawless, and whether he would leave a trap and a back door in this proposal. But it is undeniable that if this proposal can be implemented and implemented, it will greatly strengthen the power of the imperial family, and at the same time reduce the power in the hands of the nobility.

This may be the gap in vision created by the times, and in Wren's view, this is not a good plan.

Once implemented, it means that the royal family will be kidnapped by all parties. In the face of huge interests, these seemingly docile and harmless parties will also turn around and become beasts that choose people to devour. At the same time, the national awakening brought about by the election campaign will further reduce the indispensable proportion of the royal family in society.

When people found that they could make their own decisions and choose their own rulers, it meant that the supreme ruler was abandoned by them. In this world, there may not be a saying that the county officials are not as good as the current management, but under the feudal system, the people actually have so much fear of the royal family. The royal family has no control over their daily lives, and they don't have much influence on their work, and they make themselves a small city-state of their own.

Over time, the royal family eventually became a mascot.

In the world of the United States, if the scope of influence is reduced to the scope of a state, the status and prestige of the president in the state may not be as good as that of the governor.

In this world, the situation of the royal family is much better, but it is not infinite, there are limits. The weakened royal family will eventually become something symbolic in people's mouths, rather than the proper ruler of the country.

And all this has something to do with Rennes' next plan.

Of course, he won't reveal it at this time, and the first problem to solve now is to convince Empress Pars to adopt this suggestion, and at the same time let Ganwen go to the god of light.

If Ganwen does not die, she will not be able to force Empress Pars to personally deal with the government affairs that will never be completed, let alone change the world in this way. The Orlando Empire has been relatively stable in recent decades, and Ganvin has played a major role.

The dangerous light in Wren's eyes flashed away, and no one noticed what kind of terrible eyes he showed at that moment.

No policy can be decided in a very short period of time, let alone something like this that changes the framework of grassroots governance? No matter how perfect Wren's design is, it will take time for Empress Pars and Gambon to add some control to it, so that it can better serve the royal family. Besides, the most important thing now is how to solve the damage that Prince Kant has brought to the empire.

Wren left after making a start, and it was useless for him not to leave, and now the two guys must be discussing how to further improve and correct Wren's suggestion. Of course, before leaving, Wren kindly reminded Empress Pars, Isaac and those rebels who are now in the dungeon need to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.

The flow of people in the imperial capital is obviously much lower than before, and some wealthy people have already left in order to avoid the war that may affect them. The departure of these wealthy people has lowered the overall level of pedestrians on the Imperial Capital Road by a level. The slightly deserted imperial capital gave Ren another different feeling, a completely different feeling from the previous noisy imperial capital.

His gaze swept over an alley and saw a young man lying in the alley, who looked as if he was dead?

He wouldn't pay attention to such a thing, and the city defense and garrison would naturally deal with such human garbage that would appear every day.

Unbeknownst to Wren, however, that after his gaze took off the corpse, it was alive again.

The corpse sat up slowly amid the cough of the bellows, and since the features of life appeared on the corpse again, the corpse could no longer be called a corpse.

The young man clutched his chest, and the dried blood had congealed into a thick scab of blood, which shattered into many tiny black shards when he rubbed it. He staggered to his feet, surveying the scenery around him, and a sudden glint appeared in his cloudy eyes.

The style of the buildings around it, he vaguely saw somewhere. To prove his guess, he stumbled out of the alley into the street, grabbed a man's arm, and asked loudly, "What year is it?"

The man he caught looked at the man's frightening white wounds and the blood-stained clothes, and didn't want to get into any trouble, and blurted out while struggling, "Of course it's the autumn of three hundred and seventy-three, damn it, you let me go." Breaking free from the man's palm, the passerby ran away, leaving the man standing stupidly in place.

I see, I see!

His natal name is Li Ke, and he was reborn in the New Martial Era, and the weather laws of the New Martial Era have undergone tremendous changes, and he has also entered the so-called high tide period, and all kinds of strong people have emerged in endlessly. In that era, magic and technology coexisted, and the West and the East also had a certain degree of contact, and martial arts versus magic was no longer a product of people's imagination, but reality!

What's even more shocking is the vast starry sky, and the alien civilizations hidden in the starry sky!

Li Ke is just an insignificant little person in the New Martial Arts, who entered the society after completing the most basic education, and only after more than 20 years of experience did he improve a little. Unexpectedly, when he had just been promoted to Star Martial Artist, he was plotted by the enemy to use an antimatter bomb from a high civilization, and was instantly swallowed up by the torn void.

The body was wiped out in the void, but the soul came here by chance.

Here, he came.

In a few hundred years!

His whole body trembled at this time, not because of fear and strangeness, but because of excitement, extreme excitement.

So many divine treasures have not been opened at this time, before the great destruction comes, he can completely open those divine treasures he is familiar with, obtain the divine source power inside, so that after the arrival of the new martial era, he can ascend to the sky in one step!

At this time, he was full of pride in his chest, God gave him this opportunity, and he must take advantage of it!

A series of coughing sounds woke him up from his fantasy, he was in a trance, feeling the condition of this body getting worse and worse, the top priority was to adjust his body first, and then silently dig up those divine treasures, waiting for the arrival of the new world!
