Cosma Empire

The next morning, the leader of the investigation team invited Durin to the Vallier City Hall to talk about some new measures, such as the resettlement of the slaves who were about to be rescued.

It has to be said that Du Lin used the sharp tool of adhesive tape to quickly send his pictures to thousands of households. With the improvement of the economy and the upgrading of technology, the price of what Du Lin called a TV has dropped from three to three. More than a thousand dropped to eight hundred and ninety-nine yuan. Perhaps this amount of money is still a bit expensive for most ordinary people, but it has begun to become normal for families with middle-class income and above.

According to the national income index published by the Ministry of Finance of the Empire in the first quarter of this year, the income of middle-class families has risen rapidly from 41 yuan per capita five years ago to 78 yuan. If they work, their monthly income is about 130 to 150 yuan, and they can save 40 to 80 yuan for various expenses. Buying a TV set a year is not a luxury. With more and more tapes, middle-class families have almost given up getting news from newspapers in other places. Of course, local newspapers still have to be bought, after all. At present, the two most famous companies, Empire Star and Star Empire, only have one roll of tape per week, which cannot meet the requirements of middle-class families for daily news acquisition.

With TVs, people will naturally turn their attention to tapes. The cost and technology of tapes are becoming more and more advanced and mature, especially as soon as assembly line filling machines and new carrier materials appear, the cost of the tape industry will begin to shrink sharply. The huge profit margins allow these tape companies to happily compete on price. The price of tape has dropped from thirty-five yuan a reel in the Dulin period to seven nine nine a reel, which has caused many small-scale tape companies to go bankrupt.

Under the influence of such a huge market, more and more people choose to learn about the world through tapes, which also allowed them to see Du Lin's very contagious interview in the last issue of tapes. Everyone is very concerned about the many problems that these illegal immigrants will face, such as how to resettle them, their living conditions and treatment in the empire, whether they can provide them with the same legal rights as the citizens of the empire, and the society has split into two camps .

The first camp is optimistic. These people believe that sheltering and giving legal rights to these illegal immigrants is a symbol of the benevolence and love of the empire. These people are already very unlucky, and they cannot be rescued from the mine. Just send them home, it's not fair to them, it also makes them possible to become extreme people. In the eyes of their families, they may be doing decent jobs in the outside world and trying to make money. No one would think that their relatives would be caught as slaves if they left their hometown to work hard.

Sending them back to their own country will not only make it difficult for them to survive, but will also have a great impact on the image of the empire. It is possible that through the propaganda of these people, the empire will be a horrible image in the eyes of citizens of other countries. Moreover, it is barbaric and full of various backward systems, which will have a great impact on the empire and its citizens.

People who hold this part of the concept and attitude are often the middle and upper class in society. Among the middle and upper class who already have enough to eat, wear warm clothes and have money to reflect their sense of existence, image, decency, culture, and institutions are often It's what they value more. They are the mainstay of society and the realizers of the imperial dream, and they look at problems from a higher perspective.

Of course, there is another group of people who hold an opposing attitude. Who knows if these illegal immigrants will have some distorted mentality left behind because they were persecuted as slaves, for example, they want to get revenge by hurting the citizens of the empire? pleasure. These people have a serious sense of insecurity, and they have organized demonstrations to demand that these people be sent back to their own country and hometown, and they will not be allowed to stay in the empire.

And this group of people is often the lower class and the proletariat, because they have no money in their pockets and no deposits in the bank, they face higher social pressure than the middle class, and they are less able to bear risks, and they hope to have a relatively Quiet life without risk.

In short, everyone is paying attention to this matter now. As the investigation team settled in the west, the mine owners of each mining area began to release the slaves under their command, and provided specific population numbers to the city hall of Vallier, where the investigation team was located. . These illegal immigrants have been well temporarily resettled, and they still live in the slave camps where they used to live, but the environment they live in now has a completely different performance from before.

They can leave the mining area freely, or go to the mine to work, and they can get at least two sets of new clothes, as well as rich and delicious meals. No one forced them to go to the mine anymore. Even if they took the initiative to mine, the mine owner must settle the salary for them with the salary system equivalent to the imperial miners as required. It can be said that they have fully obtained everything that the citizens of the empire have, and even surpass the rights and obligations of the citizens of the empire.

They don’t need money to see a doctor, the mine owner will pay for them, and they don’t need to spend money to buy things, because the farmers and grocery stores will settle with the mine owner. This kind of life makes them feel very unreal, very At the same time, they were also anxiously waiting for the final verdict.

"Mr. Dulin, the countermeasures you proposed during the interview have been approved by the cabinet all the time. When I came to the west this time, the Magus leader asked me to ask you for advice if I encountered something that could not be solved. Now we are still the same as before. How do you think these people should be placed?" The inspection team leader spoke very politely, and he could vaguely feel that the reason for Magus's change of attitude towards Memnon was in this young man.

A controllable Memnon and the Kadima party are obviously better than an uncontrolled and often frightening Dooling group. He sat face to face with Doolin in the room and realized that if Memnon left, the next The person who succeeded Memnon in his position of power was most likely Durin.

Three years ago, people only called Du Lin as Du Lin, but today, three years later, when people talk about Du Lin, they often add "group" or "interest group" after his name. After experiencing the large-scale construction of the East Coast and Odis City, the wealth and contacts that Du Lin has mastered are enough to be worth a consortium. His every move often means the future changes of a certain industry, and he has unknowingly become a chess player who can sit on the edge of the table, although he is a little thin, he can lift chess pieces.

Du Lin smiled and nodded in greeting. He crossed his legs, clasped his hands and clasped his fingers on his thighs steadily, "I have considered many answers to this question, but in the end I think it is more beneficial to the empire to keep these refugees in the empire." value."

"Refugees... refugees?", being able to become the leader of the special investigation team of the cabinet is definitely not the kind of "office worker" who just sits in the office and has no real power. Entering the top 100, he came to the west with a very important task, so what he can understand, his vision and level are definitely not available to ordinary government officials.

Anyone who can survive in the political core of the country, the imperial capital, and has a certain amount of actual power, must not be underestimated!

"Mr. Du Lin, I feel a little strange what you call these people. Are they refugees?" When he asked this sentence after thinking about it, an idea flashed in the head of the investigation team, and his arm even He trembled a bit, because he understood why Du Lin used the title of refugee to refer to these people.

"Of course, Mr. Otto!" When Du Lin laughed, he couldn't find anything dark on his face, it was always very sunny, and he said Mr. Otto's guess with a smile , "You know, I have always been concerned about the empire and all the affairs of the empire in the international arena. I think it is very absurd to attack the public opinion from the outside in the recent period. Although these people are illegal immigrants, they are also refugees. By."

"Why do they appear in the empire? It's because their country makes them unable to survive. Those countries that are still in war make them feel no sense of security at all. They may die in war or under tyranny anytime, anywhere So they are willing to pack their bags and leave the place where they have lived for more than ten or decades, and come to the empire to seek the soil for survival. I think that the Yaoxing Empire, as the most powerful civilized country in the world, should shoulder our corresponding responsibilities. These refugees should be taken in, and these shameless and ignorant countries that want to turn black and white should be dealt a head-on diplomatic blow!"

"Let me put it this way, can you now understand why they are refugees in my eyes and in the eyes of the empire?" Du Lin took out a pack of cigarettes and gestured, Mr. Otto slightly left the chair, He smoked a cigarette from the pack that Dooling handed him.

Dulin's appearance in the smoky vision was somewhat blurred and distorted. Otto couldn't believe what he saw and heard, because Dulin's statement was about to solve something that bothered Magus. Those illegal... no, the countries where the refugees were born have been slandering the empire in diplomatic and public opinion. Some countries even plan to use this opportunity to blackmail the empire, demanding that the empire pay compensation ranging from a few million to tens of millions!

These despicable and shameless acts of villains have troubled Magus leaders for a while. Behind these countries, the Federation is also contributing to the flames, eager to unite with those countries to suppress the empire's diplomatic face.

But Du Lin's statement will soon be able to return all the pressure that those shameless and despicable villains put on the empire. Mr. Otto has already thought of the next series of plans, such as interviewing those refugees and letting them tell the whole world what is happening in their country and what makes them run out regardless of their families, even if they die in The empire is unwilling to go home.

There will always be someone to cooperate, money is not enough, and there are bullets!

With the reversal of public opinion and the combination of pulling one group and fighting another group, the empire will soon be able to reverse its decline on the diplomatic battlefield and fight a turnaround.

This is not because Magus is not smart enough. He, including everyone else, is bound by the times after all, and has not yet been able to turn black and white so shamelessly and talk nonsense at the diplomatic level.

But Durin, he can do it. ...
