Cosma Empire

"You sit!" Magus raised his hand and pressed it falsely, walked to the cabinet, took out two glasses, poured wine, walked to the edge of the sand and sat down, and handed a glass to Du Lin, "The butler I was surprised when I said that a young man came to visit me, because my friends and colleagues were mostly old men with one leg in a coffin. I don't know any young people. Except my son, they don't like it. Come and see me, and one of them is already lying in the grave."

Du Lin took the wine glass and held it in his hand. He didn't put it down hastily. His humble face was full of calm smiles. He was a little nervous, but he didn't show it. "It's a very presumptuous visit. I should notify you in advance."

Magus waved his hand and leaned on the sofa. He didn't look as serious or rigid as he imagined, but was very easy-going. From him, he couldn't see the official authority and so-called momentum of the Prime Minister of the Empire and the leader of the new party. "No need, I'm usually not as busy as you think. Except that I may not be at home from Monday to Wednesday, I will be at home most of the time."

"I have to thank the scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology and the Imperial Academy. They allowed me to work through telephone lines, which saved me a lot of time and energy!" He said, putting on his reading glasses, and then picked up the phone and said a few words After a while, the housekeeper brought him a document bag.

After opening the file bag, he took out the plan inside, opened it and put it in front of himself, "This is the plan Harry gave me last time, and I have to say it is very exciting. How did you come up with the 'SAR'?" words and ideas?"

Magus was indeed very focused when he got the plan. He read it more than once and thought about it for a long time. He even forgot to eat dinner that night.

In Duhring's plan, the so-called special zone refers to the designation of a more free and open commercial area under the premise of complying with the basic laws of the empire and ensuring that sovereignty will not be shaken or changed. In it, some things that the empire operates in a limited manner can be freely operated, and even contraband items are no longer "prohibited".

This idea is very unique, and it immediately "wrapped" Mags into it. The empire has encountered many, many problems in its economic recovery, especially the erosive power of those capitalists has exceeded people's imagination. Originally, many things they thought were unchangeable and unshakable, but accidents happened.

The most obvious example is the Navy,

A large number of high-level navy officials were dismissed for fear of war. After leaving their posts, these generals became businessmen, relying on their past connections and relationships to become naval tycoons. In turn, they used their funds to coerce the entire navy to coerce the empire. This was unimaginable in the past, but it is difficult to reverse it now. Even if the military department is willing to allocate more budget to the navy, the navy may not necessarily return to the embrace of the empire.

The power of capital is extremely destructive and corrosive, but some high-level people in the new party, including many people in the old party, have been blinded by the illusions displayed by the capitalists and the power of capital. Especially those in the old party even think that when they only need to raise the butcher's knife, the capitalists and the capital forces in their hands will take the initiative to get into the cage. This kind of thinking is simply ridiculous.

For the sake of huge benefits, many people will clearly stand on the side of the capitalists. At that time, once the attitude of the ruling party of the empire becomes tough, there is no other way to go except civil war.

However, the special zone plan proposed by Duhring gave Magus a huge inspiration. At this stage, capitalists are competing for power with the imperial regime. If all the differences are overcome, other areas will return to the control range, and it is very difficult for the situation to get out of control.

At the same time, the SAR government is also free to make some attempts in policies, laws and regulations, and try to intervene in the problems that have arisen within the empire at this stage. If the intervention is successful, it can be used as a successful case and modified as appropriate before being promoted to the entire empire.

If it fails... then it's just a test field!

The city of Odis, where Durin is located, is definitely not acceptable as the only special zone. Magus has an idea to create at least six special zones in the entire empire, and even plans to completely hand over the taxation power to the consul of the special zone.

Compared with the tougher regime confrontation in other regions, capitalists will like the favorable and free environment of the SAR, where they are like fish entering the sea, and the attraction is endless.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Dulin and Harry faced some troubles this time, so he stood firmly on this side. In the final analysis, no matter how intense the problems within the party are, they are no match for threats from outside the party. From the perspective and level of Magus, whether it is smuggling or crime, it will have a certain impact on the empire, but absolutely

Yes, the foundation of the empire will not be shaken, but the power of capital will!

Therefore, when he heard that it was Durin who was visiting, he made an exception to meet the biggest smuggler on the east coast of the empire.

Du Lin took a sip of the wine, then gently put the glass on the table, and said in a low voice: "Leader, if you pour a lot of air into a bottle, when the air in the bottle exceeds a certain After that level, the bottle will explode."

"Man, it's the same. We forbid people to drink strong alcohol and make laws for it, but have we done it? Have we made it impossible for the empire? Have we made those people afraid to smuggle strong alcohol?", Du Lin shook his head, "No, people who need these things know where to buy them, and people who don't need them won't take the initiative to try them just because they appear around them."

"We can't stop people's desires, and the short-term results will only make these desires ferment and become stronger, so I think we should give people a way to release. Whether it is like drinking, or addicted to ghost face mushrooms, or Indulging in women's sex and even gambling is fine, no problem. Rather than letting these people's strong desires breed something that is beyond our control, why don't we take the initiative to give them an environment to release their desires, but it must be within our What about within the frame?"

"You may not know that when I came up with this idea and implemented it, I have seen excellent results so far. Those bootleggers who gathered in Namirindes have begun to move to Odis City, and other smugglers The same is true. The goods they smuggled are no different from before, and they are still shipped to various places, but we have received a generous tax because of this, and we have a clear understanding of the specific amount and whereabouts of each of their transactions. The empire played a more important role."

"Did we lose anything?" Du Lin shook his head firmly, "No, we didn't lose anything. Instead, we gained something we didn't have. If someone insists on saying that we lost something, maybe we lost a little Decent, because we became an umbrella for those people."

Du Lin smiled slightly, "What's more, the empire is not yet ready for the impact of capital, why don't we set up a laboratory for ourselves, and within a limited and controllable range, try to solve some problems that we don't know from where? What about the next thing?"

Magus has been listening carefully and nodding from time to time. After Du Lin finished talking about his thoughts, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of the current merchant group?"

Du Lin was taken aback, then shook his head with a smile, "Leader, our understanding of the answer to your question may be different, but I think the final result is the same."

"So do you have any good ideas?"

"No……"

Du Lin hesitated a little in his answer, which aroused Magus's curiosity. He couldn't help asking: "You have no choice, or are you unwilling to talk to me, an old man? Do you think I can't understand the thoughts of you young people? Although sometimes I do not understand, but I believe that our conversations and thoughts can find common ground, and then deepen around these."

Du Lin picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wide mouth glass covered half of his cheeks. His eyes met Magus's eyes, and something flickered, "I'm just a mayor!"

He yelled these words almost plainly, his status was too low, and his official hat was too small.

Maggs smiled meaningfully, pointed at Du Lin, and shook his head while laughing, "I thought you were a young man with ideals and revenge, but what I didn't expect was that you, like those old guys, are full of food." It’s all about how to climb up.” At this point, he restrained his smile and pondered for a moment, “It’s good to have desires, if you can achieve what I want to see, why should I refuse? "

The conversation was very pleasant, at least it made Du Lin feel the charisma of Magus. This is a very wise old man. He hides himself well. Not even Durin. But there is one thing Du Lin can be sure of. This old man who will still sit on the aspect for four years has already developed a sense of crisis for the businessmen, and he has begun to be wary of the power of capital. I am afraid it will not be so in the next four years. Calm down.

After the two talked a lot more, before Du Lin left, Mr. Magus asked: "It is very presumptuous to ask a question. If your calf was bitten by a poisonous snake, what would you do?"

Du Lin bowed slightly politely, "You won't die if you cut off your own calf. Although walking will be a little more difficult, you will definitely die when the venom enters your heart, sir."
