Referring to the entry on the separation of powers, Lin Xie said: "The premise that the nobles can still hold all the power is that those councilors elected from their territories are puppets in their hands. And the function of these councilors is only to give the commoners a sense of participation, and to give a reference target for the competition of strength between different nobles.

"But! These are also people, are they really so obedient? The old man and the current emperor are the heroes, the nobles and commoners are used to obeying, and you are also used to this environment. But who can guarantee that there will be no mediocre talents in future generations? ”

】

Someone's words flashed like thunder and lightning through Ricardo? Kaveh's mind cleared him up in an instant. Examples of weak lords and strong vassals have certainly been seen in the Gwana Empire. The elderly can even cite a few examples of what happened around them.

The reason why the empress of the Karlsruhe Empire gave up the power in her hands was not because the lord was weak and the minister was strong. But others naively think that this will never happen to them.

Big pit! The kind that will kill people!

The old man who gave up his title was still a member of the aristocratic class in essence and roots, how could he not think about the people of his own class. It's just that no matter how you think about it, as long as this thing begins, unless you destroy everything and start over, the end is inevitable.

The only thing that is fortunate is that this matter did not take place in the Gwana Empire, and it seems to be unrelated. However, how can the old man who has been up and down for a long time not understand that the Karlsruhe Empire has begun, and as long as the ending is not terrible, this matter will spread outward.

As long as people are ambitious and want to be motivated, that kind of thinking will definitely be touted and even implemented. I and the old partner who became the emperor can be suppressed by their own means, but there will always be a day when I can't suppress it.

Looking at the old man's melancholy face, it seems that he will have a heart attack or stroke in the next second. In order to prevent him from falling into this room and harming himself, Lin relieved: "Old man, don't worry. Even if the old nobles go down, there will be a new group of nobles who will rise up. Maybe these upstarts don't have the privileges on the surface, but they still live a good life, and they still have the ability to see the people. This will remain unchanged from the past to the future. At most, the rules of the game are complicated, and they are different from the past gameplay. ”

In fact, someone's words are a typical report of good news but not bad news. Just like crossing the stock market in my hometown, there are people who make money in the bull market and people who make money in the bear market. The difference is that when the environment is good, even if it is a pig, as long as it stands in the wind, it can fly; But when the general environment is poor, how can you have a chance if you don't fight your father and mother?

No matter how much you shout that everyone is equal, the truth is that people are different.

But these things are not in a hurry. The highest level of Lin's foolery is that I only tell the truth, but I don't tell the whole truth. The kind of gameplay of nine truths and one falsehood is still inferior.

But the old man in front of him, who had been the Grand Duke, was obviously different from those Grand Dukes of the same rank in the Karlsruhe Empire.

For the latter, the constitutional monarchy promoted by the Karlsruhe Empire, they are all parties to it, and they are easily blinded by vested interests.

Ricardo? Kaveh was barely half a party, and although he was also a nobleman, the Gwana Empire had not yet implemented such a system. The advantage of this is that he can think more neutrally about the pros and cons of things from the standpoint of a bystander.

And with this thought, he thought about a lot of things that a certain magician didn't say. Even what the man didn't expect, the old man could deduce a thing or two from his own experience.

So seeing those eyes that obviously looked like they were looking at an idiot, full of distrust, Lin only smiled awkwardly. The old man asked again: "Since the matter was started by you, is there any way to prevent it?" Except for the way to kill whoever comes forward. I don't need you to talk about this, and there is no nobleman who can't. ”

"It's easy."

Someone replied bluntly, but only to get the old man's angry eyes, saying, "You fool me!" ”

"No tricks, it's really simple. The four basic needs of people are food, clothing, shelter and transportation. There is nothing to say about food, that is, to eat well, to dress warmly, and to live is to have a tile to shelter from the wind and rain. To go to a small place, it is a road of carriages and horses; In the big picture, you have the freedom to go wherever you want. As long as these four items are satisfied, the others who shout can only be regarded as moaning without illness and have nothing to do. That's understandable. ”

The old man nodded.

Lin said: "If one of them is missing, or if one of them is done badly, it is at most a comment that life is very hard." But no matter how hard life is, life can still go on. People are so tenacious, you can agree. ”

The old man still nodded.

Lin continued: "That's what I said, but there is one thing that is different, and that is 'food'. If you can't even meet the most basic food and clothing, you can't get by, but you will starve to death. So horizontal and vertical is death, people rebel, and it is normal to ask for a good life. Anyway, whether it is starvation to death, or rebellion and failure to die, the outcome is the same for these people. ”

Although it was a matter of rebellion, it was quite unpleasant to listen to the ears of the old aristocracy, but Ricardo? Kaveh still had to admit that what a certain magician said was the truth.

"Well, the way is not coming out. People are inert, and no one wants to toss when they live a good life. It's the same if life is harder. Unless it really comes to the day of starvation, and there is no one to help them. forced them to jump out on their own and rob those who had it. Once you get to this stage, anything is possible.

That is to say, as long as it is not so hungry that everyone can't stand it, then if you want to toss which set of methods to use to govern a territory or a country, it is completely a problem within the ruling class, and it has nothing to do with the common people. Don't look at the tricks I devised as if they decentralize power, in fact, no matter what kind of system, the minority rules the majority, and the difference is only in the rules of the game. ”

There is no saying that the soup is not changed, but it is so. Good people come, and any system can play flowers; When the bad guys come, any system can be smashed. There is no good or bad system, it is about people.

The old man still looked bitter and asked, "What is the purpose of what you have done this?" ”

Again, as the old saying goes, someone sneered and said, "Down with all the privileged classes." ”

The old man shook his fingers, pointed at a certain magician, and said, "Don't you think that magicians are also part of the privileged class?" ”

"No, no, no, the magician seems to be self-contained, but in fact, what really protects is the magic tower. Where did the magician break the law, and the local lord didn't catch or kill it? Only the kind of magician who is too powerful, and the lord can't handle it privately, will report it to the Magician Association and ask for a fair treatment. ”

"In this way, it is true that only the tower master is not treated ordinarily."

Regarding the old man's feelings, Lin shook his index finger and said: "No, no, no, even if it is the tower owner of the magic tower who committed the crime, a capable lord such as the old man, even if he comes forward in person, he will not transfer the prisoner to the association for processing." It is not uncommon for nobles to attack towers. The difference is that the Mage Guild has a knack for attacking towers with fewer casualties than most nobles.

"Besides, the bottom line that the Magicians Association adheres to is just that after the incident, the magic tower cannot become the spoils of the nobles, but must be returned to the association for disposal. As long as you don't touch this bottom line, where have you seen a branch make trouble about a magician who died unjustly by a nobleman? We still don't hurt our father, our mother doesn't love us, if our ability is low, then everyone will shout and fight. ”

After thinking about it seriously, the old man couldn't ignore the facts, and nodded in recognition: "That's true." However, nodding in approval does not mean that you can accept it in your heart. However, the old man does not care about the question of whether the magician belongs to the privileged class, but under the general trend in the future, the class to which he belongs is the object of elimination.

Lin doesn't need to read minds, he doesn't need to rely on box cutting, and he can probably guess what the old man is worried about.

To be honest, this one was just annoying himself, and after he didn't slap the table, he smashed it directly, and Lin felt that the old man was already quite restrained. With his own mind and the old man's position, it is reasonable for him to directly draw his sword and kill himself.

So why don't do it...... Is this a good enough friendship, so I am reluctant to teach myself a lesson, or has my strength been understood to the extent that it makes people jealous? Someone pondered in his heart.

That's something to be happy about. Finally, it is no longer a position where dogs come and want to step on it.

The old man eventually drifted away. If it weren't for his guards, he wouldn't know where to go. His granddaughter expressed considerable concern.

Under the influence of the past few years, the Marquis of Baran is not the appearance of being afraid everywhere and hiding when she first came. At that time, except for Kaya, who had a way to pull her, anyone who appeared in her line of sight could make the girl swoop and hide until she was out of sight.

If there is an exception, it is probably the gray cat Hardy and the three kittens, and those few little ones who are not human have a way to get close to the marquis.

The change is now visible to all, except for the men who are still treated the same, other women can already bounce in front of the marquis without causing the marquis's overreaction. Among them, the biggest hero is the former demon king and the original lich.

Respected by many women as my sister, the sassy and heroic appearance of both men and women, not to mention the spring girl, even the young women who have given birth will be tempted by it. Its strength is even more astonishing, not to mention the dark ages of a thousand years ago, even those who sit and talk about the Tao now are all life priests and bishops in the Three Holy Light Churches.

With such an example in front of her, and being her own teacher, no matter what the Marquis of Baran's original intention was, she studied with all her might. Not only to learn magic, but also to learn her teacher's posture, posture, and bearing.

Maybe she hasn't learned one-ten-thousandth of her teacher's skills, but her self-confidence has been slowly built, and she is no longer the shocking appearance of the past. The most direct manifestation is that he knows how to ask for warmth, especially to the grandfather who cares for him.

In the past, greetings could make that stupid grandfather happy for a long time. But today it is quite abnormal, the old man seems to have lost his soul, and no one cares much. This worried the Marquis of Balan.

However, there is no so-called 'soul collection' in the mistery, and the marquiss has not yet learned a soul-related course, so of course she doesn't know how to help her grandfather.

In the end, he just sent the old man to the customized high-end car that was not afraid of collisions, and told the old man's guards with a wrenched face that everything should be careful. Of course, it is impossible to let the elderly in this state drive by themselves.

In short, whatever the granddaughter commands, the people below will do as they do. The well-behaved appearance makes people think that the identities of the two are reversed.

A certain magician looked at everything with a smile, proud. Destroying people's three views is the same as shelling other people's territory, which makes people feel happy.
