Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 181 Discussion·Part

"So you think democracy is wrong?" the hooded man asked Purficott, and this was also the question he was most concerned about.

Regarding this question, Purficott shook his head: "Whether democracy is right or wrong is actually not important. What is important is whether the country's leaders have the ability to lead the entire country to become better and stronger.

If the country can continue to become stronger and better, what if the leader is the emperor?

But if the leader cannot make the country strong and the people live a happy life, what if he is a leader elected by the people of the country with unanimous consent?

The country needs leadership from people with ability, not leadership from people with votes.

After clarifying these, the answer to the question is actually very clear. Monarchy and democracy themselves are just different ways of selecting leaders and governing the country. The quality of the system does not depend on its form, but on its form. Its execution and efficiency.

A government that is efficient and able to effectively implement various policies, no matter what it is, is a good government.

It will not become backward and corrupt just because the supreme ruler is called emperor, nor will it be efficient and clean just because the government is democratically elected.

Power corrodes people's hearts. Even if early popular elections can elect a group of officials who are passionate and dedicated to the people, over time, political animals will still be born specifically for elections.

The same is true for the feudal monarchy, but the imperial power is passed down only by blood, which will eventually lead to the royal family becoming useless. Occasionally one or two shining geniuses are not enough to change the gradual decline and decay of the entire country with the times and social development. the essence of. "

Purficott has a full and clear understanding of this point.

After all, in the original world, society has passed the stage of trying various political systems and political systems, and the ideological struggle has come to an end. Those sociologists can study and analyze various political systems.

But once the economy goes into trouble, all kinds of social problems will be exposed all at once, leaving the whole country in a mess of a "pill".

Autocratic dictatorship is undesirable because it will eventually lead to corruption. There are too many such examples in the original world.

At this time, if the economy can still be maintained, then everything can still be papered over and maintain a bright and decent appearance.

The same goes for democratic elections. Over time, the formation of interest groups and classes will solidify classes, block the upward path, and plunge the entire country into stagnation and inevitable decline.

Although she did not specialize in learning or researching this, she had also dabbled in some dragon-slaying skills when she was studying. Therefore, she could still give some guidance to these early revolutionaries in this world.

And every time like this, it is the time when social changes are ushered in, because only by breaking down the solidified old classes can we create channels and space for new classes to rise.

This is also the essence of human social change, from ancient times to modern society.

"So that's it. I have to say that you are as wise as your father." The hooded man saluted Purfict. He didn't know whether he was saluting Mr. Brandlis or was being touched by Purfict. Views convinced. However, after clarifying the views of both parties, the hooded man asked a very critical question: "So do you want to inherit your father's business now? Or do you want to continue to be a noble lord?"

This question is important because Purficott's answer determines the attitude of the Hooded Man and the Assassin Brotherhood towards her.

"Inherit my father's career? Go to revolution to overthrow the imperial government? If this is what you are going to do next, then I'm sorry, I can only end your life here." Purficott's expression changed and he stretched out his hand. He grabbed his cane, stuck the Midas Rod and the cane together, held it in his hand like a staff, and then started alchemy.

A sharp thorn rose from the floor and pierced the hooded man's chest like a sharp sword.

Facing Purficott's sudden attack, the hooded man hurriedly tried to retreat, but found that the floor under his feet had turned into a quagmire. As his feet fell into it, several arms stretched out from the floor. She grabbed his legs firmly and held him in place.

However, Purficott did not kill the killer immediately, but explained to him: "In two years, the world will usher in the terrible apocalyptic winter. Now we must gather all available forces to deal with the apocalypse." When disaster comes, instead of taking advantage of social unrest and chaos to make revolution! That will only make everything messy!

A government that has lost its executive and organizational capabilities and a broken social order will only make the entire society become chaotic and lose the ability to resist disasters when disaster strikes.

If you can't realize this clearly, then I can only kill you here. I think even if my father knows all this, he will forgive me. "

"The end of the world? I once heard that you promoted this to the noble council, but they didn't accept it and even humiliated you. Did you convince them?" The hooded man did not realize that his life was threatened, and still spoke calmly. Purficott asked, not at all like a captive prisoner.

Purficott just shrugged and said casually: "Facts speak louder than words. They wasted several months to confirm what I said, but the final result was that I won, so now I am the Northern Territory Lord, and the empire will also implement the northern expansion plan."

"So that's it." The hooded man nodded, then twisted his body and broke free from the restraints in a way that Perfectcott couldn't understand. He jumped to the side before she could react.

Seeing that his skills did not look like those of a normal person, Purficott raised his eyebrows and said, "How to transform the human body through training? I should have thought of this earlier. Is this the result of my mother's research?"

"Your father also helped a lot." The hooded man finally lifted his hood, revealing a face that looked a bit handsome, but a scar at the corner of his mouth ruined the overall beauty: " Let’s get to know each other again, my name is Ezio, the current Grand Master of the Assassin Brotherhood, your father’s former comrade-in-arms and comrade.”

With that said, he stretched out his hand to Purficott.

Seeing this attitude of the other party, Perficott also paused the cane in his hand to let the floor return to its original state, and then also stretched out his hand: "Perfect Brandlis, Earl of the Northern Territory. , the person in charge of the empire’s northern expansion plan, the doomsday response plan.”

"Nice to meet you. Now can you tell me what all this is about?" Ezio asked Perficott.
