Duran brought the wind of change. If the plutocrats want to stifle it, they need legislation. Legislation requires the consent of the parliament. This is the social system where the parliament is at the top.
At this time, some members of the parliament also approached Duran, hoping to cooperate with him to establish a new party.
Dulan is not interested because he has superpowers and can directly attack alone and destroy all the old forces. The parliament is full of old forces, and even those who are seeking reform are also old forces.
These old forces were inherited from the samurai of the Meiji Restoration, and the inheritance has never been interrupted. Even after the defeat of World War II, they were not purged and were still the old forces.
Although the old forces will also engage in civil war with each other, no matter who wins or loses, whether they are the bread party or the rice party, they are still the old forces.
If Duran is not interested, Congress will pass legislation to restrict superpowers, saying that superpowers are not conducive to national security, or are harmful to human health.
If it is a company supported by the old forces, even if it really hinders national security and affects people's health, the company does not need to take responsibility. It can just bow and apologize. If it is not a company supported by the old forces, if it makes a mistake, it must be blocked. This is who you are.
Treat people and enemies differently, be strict with others and be lenient with yourself.
If Dulan disagrees, he will have to face the joint strangulation of the old forces.
"This is the culinary world, not the political world. If these guys push people too far, I will build a cyberpunk worldview. That is to replace parliament with companies." Duran said that cyberpunk is not impossible.
Cyberpunk means that companies are only responsible for making money and are not responsible for the costs of social operation. Parliament has also lost its role. The entire society has fallen into a social Darwinian state of survival of the fittest and lost the ability to adjust. The result is that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
The poor have no place to stand, while the rich have endless fields.
Why are poor people poor? A serious illness or disaster can make them poor.
Why do the rich get richer? Because they hold umbrellas on sunny days and close them on rainy days. They save food in good times and buy fields in bad times.
Sometimes rich people don't need to do bad things, they just need to wait for the opportunity. This is called apocalypse in the Western Old Testament: war, plague, hunger, and death. When apocalypse comes, it is a good time to make money.
The "Old Testament" records the history of their fortune, which was to take advantage of natural disasters. It is said that God told a man in a dream that there would be seven years of good harvests, followed by seven years of disaster. So he found Pharaoh and saved food during the good years. When the disaster came, everyone would
I was hungry. I first exchanged food for the people's gold, silver and jewelry, then for the people's livestock and land, and finally for the people's freedom of life. The people turned from homesteaders into slaves.
When the next natural disaster comes, the people have nothing to exchange for, so they can only exclude the Jews and drive them out of Egypt. So the wandering people began a thousand-year wandering life, but they still remember the apocalypse. As long as there is a war, plague
, hunger, and death are all good opportunities for them to make a fortune.
Did they do anything wrong? No. They didn't bring about the natural disaster. They just felt the apocalypse and made a fortune. God made them rich, and they should be rich.
Therefore, this nation has been wandering for thousands of years, but there are always people willing to join in, such as the Pharaoh who accepted the suggestion. Making money from disasters is common throughout the world, regardless of ethnicity or national boundaries. As long as you learn the "Old Testament" well, you can master the full ability to add insult to injury.
, understand the apocalypse, and use the apocalypse.
Another way to deal with natural disasters is to provide disaster relief, or work-for-relief, by hiring the people affected by the disaster to ensure that they have something to eat and will not sell their houses and land or become slaves.
If people have something to eat, they will not sell their land. When the natural disaster passes, they can continue to produce.
These are two completely different ideas. Apocalypse is cyberpunk, and disaster relief means that the parliament is at the forefront. Of course, the efficiency of disaster relief with the parliament at the top will not always be maintained. After all, disaster relief still depends on money. Without money, there is nothing the parliament can do.
But the main difference can be seen from these two points. One only cares about making money, while the other has to be responsible for social costs. Therefore, the people are not stupid. They will support the parliament instead of cyberpunk. Because cyberpunk is really about management.
Kill or bury them.
The common people are not willing to lose everything because of a natural disaster, and spend their entire life's wealth accumulation just for one bite of food. Even the wealth of their parents' generation has to be exchanged for food rations.
But natural disasters are like this. If you have no food and starve to death, the wealth still belongs to others. But if you want to survive, you will sell your children and daughters for a piece of bread, or even sell your own freedom. Otherwise, you will starve to death.
So when it came to the New Testament, the rules of the game changed, and it became that God loves everyone. When there is a natural disaster, the priest has to open a porridge shed and find a way to help the disaster-stricken believers survive. Therefore, those who believe in the New Testament
Far more than those who believe in the Old Testament.
The common people definitely hope that someone will mobilize resources to provide them with food during natural disasters, so that at least they don't have to become slaves without a foothold.
Parliament is at the top, and it is also the people's choice. It stands to reason that after the industrial revolution, capital should be invincible, and money should be able to stop gods and Buddhas from killing gods. Why don't we let capitalists be in charge, but parliamentarians?
Because capital does not share the hardships with the people, and the members of the council are all local old squires. They have lived in the same place for generations and share the hardships with the local people. The old squires have dealt with any local disasters. Therefore, the people elected
They enter parliament to fight for their interests.
It is difficult for capital to stick to the same position as the people, because once it sticks to it, it will be easily annexed by other capitals.
Even if the old country squire has no money, he still has land and physical goods. He can do face-to-face transactions with the people without the need for capital intervention.
If Duran abolishes the parliament, cyberpunk can be done, but then the island country will survive the fittest and fall into a situation where the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.
If Parliament really enacted legislation, Duran would have no choice but to do so.
At present, Dulan is the only one who has mastered superpowers. Even the Bakui of the Nakiri clan cannot be regarded as superpowers, but can only be regarded as a passive ability.
Dulan's super power is active and controllable. He can fly when he wants, and he can be as powerful as he wants.
It's a pity that Dulan is unwilling to cooperate with the congressmen, cooperate with the old squire to capture the city, and form a force to seize control of the country.
"They are going to close down our kitchen factory in the name of unqualified hygiene." Dinisha brought bad news.
Dulan said helplessly: "This feels like ascending. I obviously didn't want to ascend. I just wanted to fry fish in Yuanyue Academy. But in the end, I was helplessly promoted to the political world and had to face a group of condescending congressmen. It's really troublesome.
No wonder everyone doesn’t want to ascend. They would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. It’s more fun to fry fish in the academy.”
Some ascension novels like to treat ascension as a conspiracy, because a person is outstanding in his own field. Once he ascends to another field, he has to face a group of superior people and can only accumulate from scratch.
Just like the first place in elementary school, when you get to junior high school, you will find that the first place in several elementary schools is in junior high school. The first place in junior high school will be in high school, and you will find that the first place in several junior high schools is in high school. The first place in high school
When you get to college, you will find that the top high school students in the country are all in college.
Originally, I was already number one, but in a different place, my seniors were all number one, everyone around me was also number one, and my juniors were still number one. Number one was just a stepping stone, it didn't count at all.
So a group of first place students are involved, which not only tests hard work, but also tests talent. For people without talent, it is really painful to rise. If he stays in elementary school forever, he may always be the first in elementary school, but in junior high school,
You will find that there are also three, six, and nine levels of the same first. This is indeed very painful, and it does make people feel that ascension is a scam, tricking people into being tortured in heaven.
Everyone around me is ranked number one, but I find that my number one talent is not as good as others, and the gap is huge. So instead of rising up to face your upper limit, it is better to stay in the world and play fish.
Du Lan was already very strong in the academy, but when he rose to the political level, there were a lot of messy things and a lot of messy congressmen.
