Blackstone Code

The ruling class in Nagaril never really regarded the people at the bottom as a person, but only regarded them as slaves, consumables, or even just a "thing"!

For them, "accidentally" killing some people at the bottom is not worth worrying about, and it becomes a "burden" to them.

Religion also explains these problems to the people. For example, everyone does bear a lot of sins, but it doesn't matter, they will go to hell after death.

On the contrary, those victims who were harmed by these "bad guys" or even died because of them ascended to the kingdom of heaven. This is not pitiable for them, but a kind of... grace.

At least they can go to heaven, but those sinful dignitaries can only go to hell.

It’s not that they can’t tell what is wrong and what is sin, it’s just that they are used to enduring it.

until--

The arrival of the Federals.

The boundaries of the law became obvious, and theocratic law continued to shrink. Only then did people realize that they would be punished if they made a mistake.

The people who punish them are not gods, but humans, the judiciary.

This is also the reason why some people report the crime and things start to get serious. They no longer have to deal with life numbly like in the past. Under the indoctrination of Akumali, they begin to seek answers to the questions rationally and begin to Try to express your demands through legitimate means.

This is the progress of society, and it is not barbaric. It is not established through violence, war and destruction. This is a miracle for the entire history of civilization!

A gentle, social process of evolution known as the Miracle of Nagaril or the Miracle of Akumali.

Now, these powerful people also understand that if they have done something wrong, they must be responsible for their mistakes.

"If I surrender, they might kill me..." Drago's son no longer trembled, but there was some anger in his eyes.

He didn't know why his father would give him such a stupid suggestion, and his anger dispelled his fear, "Now those federal people are thinking about driving us out of power all day long. If I surrender, I will lose everything." .”

"Power, status, wealth, privilege, and there's a good chance I'll be killed by them!"

Facing his son's increasingly loud voice, Drago did not become angry like him, but always maintained a gentle attitude, "I promise, the federal people will not kill you, you will only be detained for a period of time at most. , and then you will be free."

"As for those things you mentioned..." Drago was silent for a while. He had owned it before, until he wanted to get the assembly line in Lynch's hands and wanted Lynch to help him realize basic industrial capabilities.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, everything was caused by greed.

"You are blinded by power and lust, my child."

"You never really had these things, how could you lose them?"

"You just step out of the illusory satisfaction and see the real world clearly, which is actually a good thing for you!"

Being a puppet in the hands of the Federals is not true power. There is no need to linger on this false power.

The young man on the other end of the phone didn't speak, and Drago's patience ran out.

He is very satisfied with his current life. The wealth he collected in Nagaril is enough to support his family to live a prosperous life in the Federation.

Now his eldest son runs a small trading company, engaged in trade related to Nagaril. After all, their family still has some favors there, and Drago himself is also a shareholder of the United Development Company. This trade The company is booming.

Not to mention sudden wealth, at least it can bring considerable benefits every month.

His third son and youngest son have begun receiving home education, and he plans to send his two sons to federal colleges and universities.

In fact, they have little hope in this life, because the labels on them prevent them from ever getting rid of the federal people's deep-seated distrust of them.

But their descendants can, his grandsons, grandsons' sons, grandsons' grandsons, they can.

What they are doing now is accumulating for those future generations.

Their clan will sprout again, take root, and thrive in the Federation in another form.

So at this time, he also obeyed Lynch's arrangements more and more. For this disobedient son, he had given up on him in his heart——

He couldn't ruin the good situation just because of one of his sons. He really thought so.

The rich people of the Federation are definitely more powerful than the emperors of small countries!

After waiting for a while, his son still had not made a decision, and there was inevitably some disappointment in Drago's tone.

"I have already told you my suggestions. I will not force you to make any choice. The choice of how to go in the future is left to you."

He hung up the phone as he spoke, and then looked at Lynch who was sitting next to him and sipping a glass of wine.

There was a gentle smile on his face. Drago was a qualified ruler, he had been, but he was qualified.

Even if it was his son, he would abandon him without hesitation if he could not bring him any benefit and posed a hidden threat to him.

This is the world of rulers. They put everything, including people, on both ends of the scale, and then put their own weights on the scale that has an obvious advantage.

"When children get older, they are unwilling to listen to their parents' advice. I was the same way when I was young." He stood up and walked to sit on the sofa facing Lynch.

These sofas are much more comfortable than wicker chairs, but there are still some wicker chairs in this house, and some habits are hard to break at once.

Lynch nodded, "Give him a little more time, if he hasn't made a decision by night..."

In fact, the one who is really worried about this matter is not him, but the United Development Company, the federal authorities, and Akumali.

The theory promoted by Akumali in Nagaril and the rule of law implemented by the Federation in Nagaril happened to collide with this incident.

To prove Akumali's ideas, to express determination and demands in a peaceful way, and to prove the value of the rule of law, some people must be put on the altar.

Only bloody changes will make people remember that those without bloodshed are just tricks!

"If he is arrested, Mengwu will need a new congressman. Do you have any good candidates?" Lynch put down the wine glass in his hand.

Drago's heart skipped a beat, but he had a thoughtful look on his face. He didn't answer immediately, but looked like he thought seriously for a while before showing a regretful expression.

While shaking his head, he said, "I don't know who to recommend. None of the people I know can bear this responsibility. As for people other than them, I am not very familiar with them."

As he spoke, he also found a way to do it, "I heard that your father did a good job there, why not let him try it?"

"I believe people will support him. This is also an attempt, a change, a transformation!"

There are still some things he didn't say. Why can't foreigners be members of the United Parliament? If the first foreigner can be elected, can foreigners from other provinces also be able to become members?

If one day the Union Parliament is filled with federal people, will this country be Nagaril or a "state" of the federation?

Lynch glanced at him, with an indescribable smile on his lips. He shook his head, "It's too early."

It had only been two years since the Federation accepted Nagaril. People were still in a transition period and adapting to this change.

If a federalist were suddenly added to the traditional ruling class at this time, it would definitely arouse strong opposition from some people, and even trigger a series of unpredictable problems.

Instead, it would be better to keep their rulers as puppets like they are now, and then use the culture of the Federation to water the new generation, and eventually they will bear flowers and fruits called "Federation".

"Gordon, among the Nagaril people I know, he meets my requirements." Looking at Drago's somewhat blank eyes, Lynch corrected the pronunciation of the name, "Gadun."

Drago showed a stunned expression, "I know him."

Garton killed his father, inherited his property, and was also suspected of killing two foreigners. In fact, these things cannot be hidden at all, and the specific evidence is already in Lynch's hands.

These things will become an important means to restrain Jiadun. As long as he is not obedient, even if he is a member of Mengwu, the supreme ruler of the province, he may be imprisoned anytime, anywhere, or even lose his own head. .

And this will also become a typical example of the "rule of law" in Nagaril.

Compared with those whom Lynch is not familiar with or who are not easy to control, Garton is a very good candidate.

Drago thought about it for a while, "I'm not familiar with him, but I trust your judgment and I will fully support you."

It saves trouble to talk to a smart person, especially when this smart person has had his spine broken.

Drago must still have a lot of influence in Nagaril, and this influence is enough to promote Garton's successful election. As for what Drago said and Nel became a parliamentarian, it was just a joke——

For a few years at least, it was a joke!

A little later, Governor Drago's son finally made a choice that was beneficial to him.

He walked out of his home and went to the local armed police department and said he wanted to surrender.

In an instant, the news shook the entire Nagaril like a whirlwind. The ruling class, which they regarded as inviolable, actually confessed. This was unprecedented.

This also made the people who participated in the march become more and more enthusiastic about Akumali's theories and ideas. This is change. It does not require violence or sacrifice. As long as you express your demands calmly, there will be people. hear!
