Chapter 279: It's not as delicious as dumplings
"What's this thing called? It tastes so good."
At lunchtime, there was an extra woman at the table of Don Quixote's house, yes, this woman was Himejin Lommell, in fact, the two chatted until noon, but they were a little embarrassed to find that this morning was just a test of understanding each other, and the real communication had not even begun, and when they were about to get into the main topic, Kyle and Char Jean had already prepared lunch, so the powerful female knight was left behind and had a light meal together.
Obviously, this woman is very interested in Don Quixote's dishes that combine China, Britain, and Char, but it can be seen from the atmosphere of the meal that Don Quixote's two wives do not welcome this female surname, after all, Don Quixote did not deliberately use magic enchantments to cover up the conversation in the morning, and with the hearing of Kyle and Char Jean, they basically listened to it.
The two of them naturally knew that their husband had just pulled out his leg from the quagmire of Char's Empire, and it was very likely that he would fall into another quagmire, which couldn't help but make Kyle a little crying and laughing, could it be that her husband was born with the ability to find trouble? But she and Char Jean didn't say anything about this, after all, they also knew Don Quixote's temper, and he looked like a very easy-going man, but he never listened to other people's opinions in some things, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was arbitrary.
"Well," Don Quixote looked at the plate of frozen dumplings, "this is a kind of food that my father used to make for me when I was a child, and the name is "Steamed Bun with Filling", and it is not difficult to make it, if you like it, I can teach you, and you can make it for your wife when you go back." ”
"Father, didn't you say last time that this thing is called "sandwich cake"?" Shirley, who was eating dumplings one by one, seemed to dismantle Don Quixote's table without paying attention, and it was obvious that Don Quixote didn't know how to translate this thing, so every time someone asked him what it was, he would make up a similar name at will.
"Are you sure?" Don Quixote reached out and tugged at Shirley's tentacles, "My dear daughter?"
"Hmm~~ Father, I misremembered. ”
“”――
"Xiaotang, are you really going to help her? Kyle, who is brushing the dishes in the kitchen, is clearly unhappy.
Don Quixote shook his wet hand, "It depends on the situation, if it is within my ability, I will help her, although this is a mess left by the teacher, even if it is to repay the favor, after all, to be a human being is to repay the kindness, of course, the most critical problem in this matter is that I will ask her about the city in the sky in a while, if she can't solve this matter, then I just want to help her, but I don't have enough power."
"Hey," Kyle sighed, flicking Don Quixote with his finger, "you guy, when will you be able to take a break?" ――
"Did you invent this?"
After lunch, Don Quixote didn't immediately talk to this woman about issues that he was not very interested in, after all, people will always be a little lazy after eating, so Don Quixote made her look at the projector, which is full of stories told by Don Quixote, "And your level of storytelling is really high, if you are not a mage, you must be a very good bard."
"Thanks for the compliment," said Don Quixote, who was leaning back on the couch, yawned, "and then let's move on to that question in the morning, where have we been in the morning?"
"I would like to discuss with you whether there is a new method of governance that can avoid the complete separation of the ruling class from the ruled class, and the ruled class, such as the commoners and slaves, have no dignity in their lives."
Don Quixote tilted his head back and brought himself closer to the couch, "After talking to you for so long, I feel that you must have investigated me very carefully, and you must know some things about my past, either through my teacher or through other people."
Lommel nodded, "I've talked to Arthas before, and it's the first real exchange in more than a thousand years, I know that you were once a slave, saved by your teacher, and transformed into a lich, but it's a great achievement that you can turn yourself into a lich who can enjoy human perception with your own skills."
Don Quixote did not react to Lommel's praise, because it was not something to be proud of for him, "Since you know my past and my present, then you should know what made me where I am today!"
"Strength?"
"There is no doubt about it, it is power, the only reason why the commoners and slaves you are talking about are bullied is that they have no power, and the world of Faeron is a world where individual force is worth ruling everything, just like Char United Nations, why would those eight countries willingly give Jean so much tax every year? It is because Qin's strength is enough to destroy these eight empires, and all their armies together are useless, because of this, the road of the united uprising of commoners and slaves to overthrow the nobles who exploited them was blocked.”
"You mean to give the common people the power to overthrow the current rule and become the new ruler?"
"That's not enough, just give the commoners a chance to gain power, assuming that they can overthrow the current Germanic Empire, it is foreseeable that in the near future, these commoners or slaves who have gained power will become the nobles they once were, and because of the treatment they received back then, their ferocity will be even worse than the nobles who died at their hands, and the strange circle you mentioned will return to the original point again."
"So what?"
"So, what we need is not a new ruler, but a new system, which is what you want, if there is such a system, under which there are no slaves, no nobility, all men are equal in status, and everyone is treated justly, I call them citizens, and of course, more importantly, the rulers of this country are not contested by war, but by the citizens of this country, I call them presidents. ”
"Those who can win the hearts and minds of the people can stand at the pinnacle of power, and, in order to avoid the long-term ** of the president who stands at the pinnacle of power, his term of office is limited, and when the deadline is reached, it is necessary to hand over power, and then the citizens will elect another person again to continue to rule the country."
After saying this, Don Quixote did not continue, because he knew that this system copied from the United States on Earth would definitely surprise the woman opposite, because in a world like the world of Ferron, which is the supremacy of kingship and theocracy, this way of ruling is simply heretical, and no country and any nobleman will accept this way of rule, because it means that they will lose their privileges, lose a large number of slaves, and eventually lose everything.
Therefore, Lommel said before that for more than a thousand years, watching the Germanic Empire slowly decay and degenerate, but there was no way, not because she was incapable, or how superior Don Quixote was, but in this world, no one would think about it, and no one dared to propose this way of governance, in a sense, even Lommel herself could not accept it, when she was still the queen.
After a long time, Lommell, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, slowly opened his eyes, "Your Excellency Don Quixote, to tell you the truth, your mind is really like the stars in the night sky, there is no trace to follow, just now I blocked all the difficulties in my mind to prevent this system from being enforced, and made up a country ruled by this system, perhaps, it is really what I have been looking for." ”
"Under this system, there will inevitably be multiple forces in the country, which will gain the right to rule for the next few years by trying to curry favor with the so-called citizens, and if they do not do what they have to do during their reign, or if they want to rule forever, they will lose the support of the citizens and be attacked by other forces."
"The people of this world are really monsters," Don Quixote couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he just assumed the electoral system, this woman had already thought of the multi-party system to take turns in power, it is obvious that Don Quixote knows very well that no matter what happens in the future, this world, at least the Germanic Empire will usher in a great change, "That's right, in fact, this system seems to be that everyone has the opportunity to be president, but in fact, the gap in ability between people, It will inevitably lead to the fact that only a small number of strong people can gain support, but in the same way, in order to ensure the stability of the country, the more such forces the better, according to my inference, two forces are sufficient, so as to avoid **, and to ensure that the country will not lose precious resources due to unlimited strife."
Lommel nodded slightly, and took a sip of tea, "However, although this system is good, but if you really want to implement it, it is difficult, overthrowing the Germanic Empire and killing those useless nobles who will definitely rebel against this system naturally do not need to be discussed, this is what needs to be done to implement any kind of innovation, the most basic question, those who have huge resources, strength, and military forces, why are they willing to abide by those rules?"
"Now that they have such great power, they can become kings forever if they start a war and destroy the other forces, which is something anyone would do, except, of course, someone like you who has no desire for power."
"That's it," Don Quixote scratched his hair, "I'll think about this so-called system again, and you can also discuss with your wife or friends about the viability of this system, after all, at this stage it's just an idea, I think with your wisdom you won't think that the two of us drinking tea here can solve the problem that has plagued you for more than a thousand years, anyway, you have been waiting for so long, you definitely don't care about waiting a little longer, so since there is a system you are looking forward to, Why not try to perfect it?"
"Well," Rommel thought for a moment, "I'm going to buy a house around here, so I can come over and talk to you about my thoughts on this system at any time, and of course, I can introduce you to my wife, who is also a great cook, what do you think?"
"Very well, I am looking forward to meeting your wife, but again, I can help you 100% in improving this so-called system, but first you must make sure that the person you choose to carry out this plan has the ability to restrain the city in the sky without using the strong men of the demigods, otherwise, no matter how good the system is, it is just a piece of paper, my experience tells me that any reform will be accompanied by bloodshed, the old system, and those in power will inevitably be slaughtered by the new one. ”
Lommel nodded thoughtfully, stood up and bowed slightly to Don Quixote, then turned to leave.
"Well," Don Quixote, who had delivered her to the door, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her, "May I ask, assuming that I am a person who does not care so much about my teacher, how are you going to get me to cooperate? ”
Lommel smiled slightly, gave Don Quixote a big hug, and the pair of ** on his chest also pressed on Don Quixote's chest without reservation, "I remember you once said that the enemy of your enemy is your friend, right, goodbye." ”
"There is no doubt that the godhead of the sun god has created a strong person, she must have found some clues related to "Lantes", the only existence in this world that can make me go all out!" Don Quixote said to Char Tohae. (To be continued.) )
