"Of course not, we are exiled heretics and descendants of heresies, just like ordinary people in the streets and fields. The fastest update," Rudolph shook his head and laughed. The king's crown did not inflate him to the point of forgetting his origins.

"Is it because we have lifted five million people in the Far East out of poverty and helped them live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing?" Roland gave a slightly more reliable answer.

However, His Majesty was not easily deceived by his son, and after a little thought, he shook his head and denied: "We have indeed made such a promise, but it has not yet been fulfilled, and you cannot expect to persuade the people to follow you with empty promises and beautiful visions." ”

"So what helped us win the hearts and minds of the people of the Far East?" This time, Roland did not wait for his father's answer, and directly expressed his opinion, "It is because we have overthrown the shackles imposed on us and in our hearts by the Assanian Empire and the Holy See of Pelo for a long time, because we have completely smashed the crime of heresy, brought freedom of belief to the people of the Far East, and brought people the promise of the ascension of the soul after death." ”

"The sanctification of Krasbourg is a miracle that has attracted worldwide attention, we have dispelled the dark clouds that have long shrouded the hearts of the people of the Far East, we have succeeded in inspiring people's self-confidence, so that the 'Far Eastern penal colones' who originally had only geographical significance have truly condensed into 'Far Easterners' in the sense of the nation-state, when people talk about their origins, they no longer have low self-esteem and call themselves northerners, southerners, mountain people, country people, people from such and such towns, and such and such villages. They can proudly claim that they are citizens of the kingdom of Koras, they will not only pay attention to their relatives and friends as before, and say indifferently to their compatriots who are suffering hundreds of miles away, "What does it matter to me", and when the foreign invasion they will no longer deceive themselves and laugh and say, 'Orcs, nobles, lords, When they got rid of the stigma of heresy, witnessed the miracle of the sanctification of Krasbourg, and most of them became followers of Sindra, the same emotions and beliefs bound them closely to us, and from that moment on, the people of the Far East really understood the meaning of the word 'compatriots', their social relations extended infinitely and connected to each other, they cared for their distant compatriots and longed to be cared for, and the support of one side in trouble was no longer just a moral empty talk. ”

Perhaps this is because everyone has the need to talk and communicate, but it is not easy to find a patient listener, and it is even more difficult to find a communicator who is commensurate with his knowledge, vision, and pattern. From this point of view, although he, a traverser, cannot be regarded as Rudolph's real son, there is no father-son generation gap, and he can open his heart and communicate frankly about anything.

"Now revisit that original question: Where is the legitimacy of our regime? It is because we have awakened the dormant national feelings in the hearts of millions of our compatriots in the Far East, smashed the shackles of prejudice called heresy, and opened the doors of Sindra Church to all our compatriots, which is the root of our victory of the hearts and minds of the people, and the manifestation of the legitimacy of our regime! ”

Rudolph rubbed his sore wrist and glared at his son angrily: "Don't patronize yourself and say it happily, I can't remember!" ”

Roland couldn't help but laugh: "I'll slow down and say it again." ”

"Excuse me, I'm too lazy to remember, when you go back, you can compile today's conversation into a document and show it to me." Rudolph threw down his pen, picked up his pipe and pointed at his son, "Don't just tell me these big truths, you have said so much, what does it have to do with land reform?" ”

"My dear father, no social system can maintain its vitality forever, and no political system can maintain efficient operation without making mistakes by relying solely on mental power, you must constantly inject lubricants and stimulants called profit into the system to motivate it to constantly correct itself and maintain efficient operation, winning the hearts and minds of the people is only the first step in establishing a political power, you must know that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, people are always easy to forget grace and neglect to take a long-term view, when the excitement passes, there will be dissatisfaction with the current system and a lot of criticismHow will you reunite the hearts and minds of the people by then? It's useless to just preach, it's just a pale talk to ask others to take care of the big picture, you have to make people profitable and see that life is getting better day by day. ”

Roland sighed, his eyes becoming extremely complicated. The essence of politics is nothing more than the "exchange of interests", which is simple and everyone understands, but what kind of benefits to choose and what kind of people or institutions to exchange with is a profound science. The embarrassment lies in the fact that "political scientists" are unlikely to become "politicians" and rarely have the opportunity to practice their theories, and the scholars who occasionally have the opportunity to become prominent are often caught up because they do not understand the world and the rules of officialdom. It's like "economists" can do research, but they can't be expected to actually do economics.

"Your Majesty, you must know that our newly established regime is at its most legitimate stage, because we have taken off the heretic hat for the Far Easterners, overthrown the tyranny of the Empire, and the people generally love and appreciate us. Therefore, we must look to the future, while people are still grateful for our grace, the gratitude will be exchanged for the national policy of land resources, and reserve land and mineral resources for the future development of the economy. Otherwise, it will be much more difficult for you to pursue such a land policy that touches the interests of many people, when people are exhausted by the vulgar and tedious daily life, when they are no longer excited about getting rid of heretical status, and when they are no longer grateful to our government. ”

Roland paused to take a sip to moisten his throat, while also giving his father some time to understand and think.

"Now that our regime has just been established, most of the people in power are from the little people who fight the world with you, and the relationship with the landlord Haoqiang is not close, and if it is delayed for another ten or eight years, the landlord Haoqiang will have ample opportunity to get in touch with the powerful, and even cultivate his own children to become the people in power, and infiltrate every department of our government to form an interest group, and at that time we will not only confront the big landlords who occupy 10,000 acres of fertile land on the surface, but also the huge interest groups that collude with them and are supported by them. What will come to the face will not only be the verbal criticism on the surface, but also the spitting and resentment hidden in the heart, and even the destruction of the sword and gun, and at that time the implementation of land reform will offend more people, and the resistance is far greater than now. ”

Finally, Roland straightened his back, stared deeply into his father's eyes, and ended the conversation between father and son, king and his subordinates in an extremely solemn tone: "Having said all this, I hope you can understand why I am so eager to promote this matter. ”

Rudolph held his pipe and was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again to meet his son's gaze, Roland got his wish and saw the determination in his eyes.
