Rudolph held his pipe in his hand and fell into deep thought, and his son's continuous questioning made him feel torn between two sides.

"Wouldn't it be too idealistic for you to tend to form a cabinet that is more focused on the interests of the people at the bottom? Since you are clearly opposed to partisan politics, where do we go to find the spokesmen of the peasants and workers, and take a step back, is it really good to include peasant leaders and trade union representatives in the cabinet? Will these people make the short-sighted mistake of only caring about the distribution of the country's wealth and ignoring how to create more wealth for the country? ”

Rudolph's question was just as poignant, but Roland smiled widely.

"We do not need to look for a spokesman for the peasants and workers, my dear father, as a king, you are the loving father of the people at the bottom, you are the most merciful and just spokesman in the eyes of the peasants and workers."

Rudolph was stunned for a moment, and muttered a little weakly: "However, I agree more with the ideas of the Awakening ......"

"It doesn't matter what you really think in your heart, the important thing is to make the people at the bottom think that you are on their side through public propaganda, from today onwards, when you make public statements or give interviews, you must say a few words of concern for the people and workers, you must often go to the factory to comfort the laborers, you must often go to the countryside to visit the old farmers, you also visit the market and shake hands with the women who sell fish, and you must put a few pieces of candy in your pocket to give to the children who bow to you during a walk in the park. By the way, hug the youngest of them. ”

"Ha, it's all superficial." Rudolph laughed self-deprecatingly.

"But this is the duty of a wise king, and the people will love you and consider you their father." Roland stated calmly.

Rudolph knocked out the ashes from his pipe and frowned slightly: "I don't mind playing the role of a loving father to the toiling masses, but someone has to do the actual work that offends people." ”

"Aren't the Awakened Party members sharpening their heads to enter the cabinet, and let them do those jobs that offend people and benefit the country," Roland smiled very brightly, but there was a chill behind this sunny smile, "If they do a good job, it is His Majesty's leadership, the courtiers have fulfilled their due obligations, and the people will give you most of the credit, if they mess up and arouse the anger of the people, it is also a traitor who has misled the country and deceived the king, you can respond to the call of the people and stand up and denounce it." traitors', uphold justice for the people, and win double love. ”

"Hmm...... That's a good idea. The more Rudolph thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling, and he pointed at his son with a pipe and scolded with a smile: "At a young age, how can you learn so many ghost ideas!" ”

Roland smiled lightly, "I just read a few more books and learned some wisdom from the ancients." ”

The greatest advantage of the earth compared with Varess is the convenience and variety of information media, the more and cheaper channels to obtain knowledge, ordinary people can learn about the thick black science and the so-called imperial mind, and it is not difficult to obtain a little more specialized history, politics and specific theories of statecraft, and this knowledge is unheard of and extremely enlightening for the people of the world of Vares, including great figures like Rudolph who stand at the forefront of the times. As a traverser, the knowledge system established by Roland in the first half of his life is his greatest advantage, which is not only reflected in the low-end level such as adventuring and fighting monsters, nor is it only reflected in the technical fields such as the invention of proximity fuses, but also in his understanding of the institutional changes of countries on the earth for thousands of years, and why every empire in human history rose and fell. He is confident that he will design a political system that strikes the best balance between efficiency and fairness for the nascent kingdom of Kolas, and that he will drive this powerful state machine to achieve national rise while maintaining domestic stability.

"You use the two ends of the seesaw as a metaphor for the rich merchant class and the poor bottom of the masses, which is very vivid, but I do not fully agree with your conclusion, in my opinion the seesaw of the rich and the poor can also achieve a state of equilibrium, the key is that there is an external force to regulate the rocker, when the left side sinks, this external force is applied to the right, and when the right side sinks, the external force is transferred to the left, if the seesaw is regarded as a system, every second it is up and down, but from the long-term statistical point of view it is balanced, that is, the so-called' Dynamic Equalization'. Finally, Roland concludes: "This model of dynamic equilibrium is my conception of the political ecology of the Far East. ”

"The key to maintaining balance in this system is that the external force itself must ensure fairness, and cannot be too close to either end of the seesaw, otherwise it will be biased and lose the impartial position of regulating the balance." Rudolph was enlightened.

"Maintain justice, and pay attention to ways and means to exert force, otherwise it is likely to do bad things out of good intentions and be jointly rejected by the upper and lower levels of society." Roland added.

Rudolph nodded, "This external force can only be played by the royal family, what is the source of power?" ”

"The Church and the Army." Roland pointed to Rudolph's military uniform hanging on the hanger, "The cabinet seats can be given to the awakened party a few more, and the army must not let them get involved, and vice versa, senior generals can be part-time cabinet military advisers, but if you want to join the cabinet as a minister or even the prime minister, you must retire and take off your military uniform!" ”

Rudolph smiled knowingly, lit another cigarette, narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, relaxing himself and leaning back in his armchair.

"Roland, what do you think of the cabinet candidates?"

"The formation of a cabinet is inevitably of the nature of political distribution, but we should not treat all cabinet seats as a transaction to reward cronies, and if we cannot match our political integrity, it will bring disastrous consequences to the country."

Roland's cautious answer was not appreciated by his father, Rudolph waved his hand, and said angrily: "I have heard enough of these official rhetoric, to be practical, I want to appoint you as the prime minister of the cabinet, the prime minister of state affairs, do you have any opinions?" ”

Roland touched his chin and thought for a few seconds, but finally chose to shake his head.

"The crown prince is also the prime minister, which will create the impression of cronyism to the outside world, not to mention that I am too young and lack prestige in the bureaucracy, and it is really difficult to convince the public to climb to the high position of prime minister all of a sudden."

"I really can't find a second person who has the ability to govern this country well besides you." Rudolph frowned, "Genia recommended to me Lloyd of the Club of the Awakened, this person used to be the mayor of Fort Atonement, the advantage is that he is old and steady, good at dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, managing a megacity with a population of one million for more than ten years without making a big mess, this is not easy, the disadvantage is that this person is too cautious and conservative, let him do things can only ensure that he does not mess up, don't expect to be able to do a good job, let alone have any surprises, this kind of old guy is too incommensurate with our nascent country in temperament, I don't want the Cabinet to become a lifeless retirement home. ”
