Chapter 1 Oh, isn't this the City of Silver?(1/2)

In this autumn season with birds singing and flowers singing, and the hot summer days, the officials, nobles and rich men of Magnan ushered in the cold winter and the storm that belonged to them.

Zhou Li is back.

As the saying goes, a strong enemy is not scary. As long as you are willing to work hard and find the opponent's weaknesses and lower limits, there is no strong enemy that cannot be defeated. However, for these senior elements, Zhou Li's existence is not a strong enemy.

He is the early morning sun - the first birth.

"Is he sick?"

In Magnum's parliament building, dozens of men, women and young men in gorgeous clothes surrounded the large round table and opened a special round table. One of the young men cried and shouted in despair: "I'm crazy, don't he have a home."

?Don’t he have a twilight forest? Why don’t he come home to Silver City if he has nothing to do? Do we have any surplus value?"

"Why have to lose your composure like this?"

The red-haired woman on the side frowned and asked the young man in confusion: "I don't understand, why are you so frightened when you hear the word "Hero"? Is he a terrifying beast or a natural disaster? Everyone is Magg

Why do the elites in Nan have lost their composure? They even deliberately opened this special meeting, I don’t understand.”

"Amusha, you are a new member of parliament from another place and may not know much about our business."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly and kind appearance slammed the bell in front of him and said kindly to Alyosha: "I'll tell you the truth. According to past practice, a new foreign congressman like you, a new member of the country, is still a politician like you.

Joining us will face a series of measures such as suppression, sarcasm, contempt, exclusion, and bad things, to prevent you from separating our rights."

The woman named Alyosha's face suddenly became wonderful. She was not scared. She knew a lot about the dirty things about the Magnan Parliament before coming to Baiyin City. But she didn't expect that this woman named "He Chen"

The members of parliament would have made these unspoken rules so bluntly. Before Alyosha could react, He Chen continued:

"But, Ms. Alyosha has been in Baiyin City for more than ten days, and she has been officially appointed as a member of parliament for five days. Tell me, what do you think after taking office? Have we excluded you anyway?"

Hearing this, Alyosha was suddenly stunned. Yes, as an outsider, she did not receive any suppression or deception after coming to Baiyinchen. On the contrary, the other congressmen were very kind to her and had no intention of being arrogant.

I thought I was ready to deal with the moves early and showed me the truth at the regular meeting, which made these people unable to attack.

but…

Since he came to the city, Alyosha deeply felt that his skills in the town were really not on the table. Compared with these scheming congressmen, he really seemed to be a foreigner who came to Baiyin City to beg for food.

If these people want to play tricks with themselves, they don’t need to reveal their own flaws. You should know that what the MPs are best at is making things out of nothing.

"Since you came here, we have taken care of you in every way and have not suppressed you. Now you see how united and friendly this parliament, which was once full of open and secret struggles and power struggles, has now loved you with great enthusiasm. You know, why this is the case.

Is it?"

This problem stumped Alyosha. It was said that the MPs who could not leave the geese passed by and killed the geese and beasts were all turned to the right place. The dogs on the roadside had to shake their heads. But she really couldn't imagine why these people would be like this for a moment.

What a big change.

She looked at He Chen and shook her head in confusion.

"Haha, it's normal not to understand."

After smiling, He Chen suddenly sighed with a heavy expression, his tone changed and he said sadly: "You haven't experienced an era."

"That era when a group of congressmen were tricked by a brave man as a monkey and his pants were almost gone."

ah?

Alyosha was stunned.

Alyosha knew something about He Chen. This man in charge of operating a trade port and claimed to be the number one gentleman in Magnum. A few months ago, he "stumbled" from Zhou Li in the airship building.

"After Magnan III's fund card, he was promoted politically and became the vice president of the parliament. This special emergency meeting was held by this person.

In Alyosha's impression, this man always looks polite and speaks very carefully. He will never compare himself to a monkey, and he is also a monkey without pants. When she looked at other nobles in a daze,

When I wanted to see expressions of opposition or disgust, my empathy faces immediately shocked her.

"I can't play, but I can't play no matter how hard it is."

The young man who was talking at the beginning looked at Alyosha, laughing sadly and sadly: "We are not able to play with him in wealth, nor are we in politics. The brave men at that time were still very weak, and we were arrogant and thought we could do it.

He played with it in his hands, so we made plans to make him our pawn.”

Alyosha still heard about this. At that time, Alyosha, who was still using Mu Ling to help farmers pick up fertilizers in the countryside, learned from the messenger that Magnan had caused a conflict between Zhou Li and the parliamentarians.

There are a lot of people vacant in the parliament, and it is necessary to select the right people in other cities. What they are talking about is probably the conflict.

"At that time, we thought he could let us control it, so we, the MPs, had no cooperation and were all preparing for the big results that would bring after the victory. But what no one expected was..."

Speaking of this, the young man's voice was involuntarily choked with a little sob. He remembered his father who was in the army, his brother who was far away from home to pick up farming and fertilizers, and his tens of thousands of gold coins he had lost. The young man's voice trembled.

stand up.

"This Zhou Li, he lifted the chessboard."

I remembered Zhou Li, who impeached himself and forced Magnan III to make him independent, and agreed to everything on the surface, but secretly bought the supplies he bought at a low price. All the members of the parliamentary side had a deep hatred and deep panic.

A different look. At this time, Alyosha felt as if he understood something.

"Later, this forced him to leave Baiyin City and said he was going to Muqi."

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of those congressmen changed instantly like intangible cultural heritage, and happiness and memories appeared on their faces.

"You don't know, on the day when Zhou Li said he was going to Muqi, how many MPs or nobles were relieved and glad that they finally wanted to make great achievements. Do you know, that day the coal-digging MP next to me saw him off in person, wishing he could kneel down on the ground

I bowed three times and bowed nine times to send this plague god away. As a result, guess what?”

Alyosha, who was already dazed by the massive amount of information, shook his head in confusion. The young man grinned, smiled bitterly, and his voice was full of helplessness.

"The chamber of commerce he left behind colluded with the nobles he knew, and directly bought all the supplies we had backlogged in our hands at the lowest price, and then sold them to our dealers set up in Muqi at a high price. Just as these dealers were preparing

When these supplies were sold, Mu Qi fought for a whole day, but he still fought with the void. The dealer ran away directly, and Mu Qi bought them all for zero yuan."

"After that, the king was about to start a war against Muqi, and we thought that there could be no more trouble, right? We went to Zhou Li's chamber of commerce to buy another pile of strategic supplies, ready to earn back the previous capital, and then

You guess again?"

Alyosha could no longer say anything. For the young man who was still filled with grief, there was only loving care in her eyes.

"Damn it, the battle didn't start!"

"The goods were all lost. Your mother opened it and saw that all he sold to us were the ones we threw in Muqi!"

"The next day when the coal mine was dug, my whole family went to dig coal together."

"I've been digging with my own hands, and the family's iron pickaxe was collected by the debt collector!"

These remarks were sad and shed tears when she saw them. All the members present burst into tears because of empathy, and most of them were sighing.

"Later we realized that unity is strength, and unity is the basis of everything. If we had no ulterior motives and fought with each other, we would not have given Zhou Li a chance to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, we realized."

After patting his chest and making a thud sound, the young man finally let go of his fear and remembered the courage he gathered from his crowd. They are no longer the loose council that breaks when touched, and now they have evolved.

"We found that the main reasons why the parliament retreated steadily in front of Zhou Li are the following problems."

"First, we are not united, each of us fights for our own interests, which gives Zhou Li the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. In order to solve this problem, we issued an initiative after Zhou Li left, everyone

We chose to unite and no longer be hostile to each other or harm each other. From now on, the Parliament will be our home and we will be the soul of the Parliament."

Looking at the young man who gradually changed his style, Alyosha's expression began to become a little weird.

What a weird thing, are you really the capital lackeys who eat people and don’t vomit large intestines?

"Secondly, the reason why we were crushed by Zhou Li in terms of the people's hearts is because our previous exploitation of the people had really exceeded the threshold, which allowed Zhou Li to win the people's hearts at no cost and let the people support him. Therefore,

Since Zhou Li left, we have begun to implement various tax cuts, build infrastructure, and strengthen people's livelihood construction. In this way, if Zhou Li wants to fight us with public opinion, he will have to pay more."

Wait a moment, that's not right.

Without discovering Alyosha's increasingly wonderful expression at this time, the young man continued to say passionately:

"Third, the reason why we were politically severely posed by Zhou Li was that the existence of the nobles led to unfair distribution of rights, allowing him to use his own way to instigate the Duke to play with us in the midst of applause. We have done

The third amendment to the Magnan Act was released. From now on, we will disperse all the rights of the nobles to prevent Zhou Li from breaking a single defeat."

Wait, wait, wait, you are democracy! It’s really democracy! This is not what you should do!

Alyosha was mixed with feelings at this time, and she had already prepared the feat of "to fight against the marrow-sucking and bone-sucking members of the city as a dream girl from the countryside."

According to her vision, she would endure and be dormant in the Supreme Parliament, seeking the right opportunity to seize power, control the Parliament, seek welfare for the poor people, and fight against the evil Parliamentarians.

But this is not right. Why is the plot development in reality so leaps so much?

I haven't started yet, why did you commit suicide?

"So, Ms. Alyosha, if you want to really fit into our MPs, I need you to make a promise."

Hearing this, Alyosha was energetic. She knew that this group of people would not change their appearance so easily, and the conspiracy behind their backs is definitely indispensable.

Just as she was about to deal with the group of people in vain and deal with them first, He Chen spoke.

"We need you to unite with everyone, seek benefits in a restrained manner, not to harm the interests of ordinary people, not to be authoritarian, not to commit violence, and to be consistent with the outside world."

He Chen supported his hands on the table, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he asked in a deep voice: "Can you do it?"

"Without this kind of awareness, you cannot become a qualified member of parliament!"

Oh, I surrendered.

Alyosha felt a moment of emptiness, she nodded mechanically, nodded, and replied "sincerely": "Please rest assured, I will definitely abide by it."

It's irritating.
