Cape and Galedonia will not be listed for the time being, let's talk about our pig's foot dead male partner first...... Oh, it's Si Nanpei's actions in Lelan City.

For a week after entering the city, Sinampe was ravaging the merchants who had brought Theresa back in various ways.

Although he wanted to slap a sweet jujube in advance, but after dealing with some guys who conspired to organize a civil riot, Sinan Pei reacted that it was pointless to give them sweet jujubes.

To put it mildly, although Lelan City still nominally belongs to the Auvergne family, the arrival of Theresa and Sinampe this time without honestly listening to the mercy of the merchants belongs to such extremely bad things as the dove occupies the magpie's nest. On Earth, didn't William and his wife respect the power of Parliament after accepting the invitation of the British Parliament to return to England to inherit the throne?

However, the British Parliament and the merchants of Leland City cannot be compared, and perhaps a small number of them can't bear to see the decline of Leland City and invite Theresa back to preside over the overall situation, but the vast majority of people still think about their own interests.

In this way, Si Nanpei gave them sweet dates to occupy other people's houses, and then gave them a large bedroom under false affection...... Imagine if the merchants would be grateful to him and Theresa?

Yes, hate, in the eyes of these merchants, Theresa and him belonged to robbers, and no matter how illegal the acquisition of their house was, they would also hate the rightful owner of the house for taking back their rights.

Although, Si Nanpei doesn't feel how clean the class he represents now is, the world is as black as a crow......

Therefore, Sinampei simply continued to follow Trisa's pace and waved a big stick at the merchants.

But after all, you can't beat everyone to death with a stick, Sinan Pei chose to focus on cracking down on the financial industry. And took care of those industrialists.

There is no need for such a developed financial industry in this era. What's more, countless lessons in history have proved that if finance is overly developed, if it is overly dependent on finance, then ...... The city will only be greeted by ruin.

It's like Venice, Holland and even France, which were once the most prosperous places on earth. In the past century, France, the super-power, has crippled itself little by little. Although it is a little luckier than its old rival Austria......

In Sinampei's opinion. Compared with the manufacturing industry, which represents the direction of the development of advanced productive forces, can actually produce material wealth and promote social progress, the financial industry cannot create wealth that it did not have in a vacuum, and what it does is only hand over wealth from one hand to another. It is true that the financial industry is an indispensable industry in a modern society, but it must be controlled.

Like Renaissance Italy on Earth. Sinampei felt that the financial industry in the Saranyi region was also a little too advanced, although it looked very good, but a superstructure that could not adapt to the basis of the productive forces was a scourge.

If the Celestial Empire is a country that is too precocious in politics, then here is a country where the economy is too precocious...... This is even more terrifying than the former.

Is it just a matter of the fiscal deficit and the rise of businessmen to power? In his view, the over-prosperity of the financial industry is also one of the main culprits in the current decline of Leland...... The manufacturing sector has been overwhelmed by the overly powerful financial sector. The hollowing out of industry is not just a problem that can only be found in an information-based society.

It is indisputable that financiers are at the top of the food chain of this economy, more than industrialists. Whoever has hot money in their hands will naturally have an advantage. In the case of the city of Naleland, most of the people in the council died in the financiers, who were really businessmen who did not produce. At the same time, because the productive forces are not yet developed, let alone such a giant as the monopoly trust. There are not even a few large factories with more than 1,000 employees, so the financiers are the richest people in the region in this era.

But the interests of these people who hold huge amounts of hot money, such as bankers, do not align with the interests of society as a whole.

The Celestial Empire often refers to industry and commerce, but in fact, this business refers more to the financial industry. Whereas, work refers more to the manufacturing industry, whether it is a primitive craftsman, or a further manual workshop, or even a factory that uses a machine to make products.

In his bones, Sinan Pei is still full of the thinking of the Celestial Empire.

Having said so much bit and bit, in fact, Sinampe wants to adjust the industrial structure of Lelan City. He was going to crack down on the money lenders and vampires, and in turn encourage small merchants and craftsmen.

Before the advent of an electrified society, it was not scientists who were driving technological progress in a solid manner, but front-line workers and craftsmen.

He prefers to support the gang rather than the pot-bellied people in the council.

Of course, as a traverser, he wouldn't order those guys to be arrested and beheaded, which was too barbaric.

Sinampei chose a different way - he asked Theresa to come forward and declare a new election......

I have to say that even Sinampe himself wants to complain, which is really full of a sense of immediacy when the British Prime Minister asks the Queen to dissolve Parliament. But that's the best way for a ruler who wants to win over the people, isn't it?

Although he was sure to turn the obstructive council into a dispensable rubber stamp in the end, he didn't mind having the whole process done in full, which wasn't too much of a hassle.

However, this election was conducted by universal suffrage...... Just as in the most primitive form of cooking, no matter how much wealth you have, as long as you are a citizen of Leland, then you have the right to vote, and in the same way, with a stroke of the pen, Theresa removed the property qualification limit for the councillor......

The councillors were fiercely opposed, even claiming that they could accede to the countess's request for a tax increase if she gave up on this immature idea of allowing "untouchables" to enter Parliament. Don't say 10 percent, even if it's a progressive tax rate, they can say yes!

Sinan Pei laughed inexplicably. Sure enough, it's a meat eater. Although there are no stupid people who can get mixed up in this role, the authorities are fascinated, and they are all blinded by the immediate interests and have not seen the general trend clearly...... Politics from the barrel of a gun is not a joke. As long as Si Nanpei still has soldiers in his hands, which of these businessmen can stop him? What is the meaning of their shouts? (To be continued......
