Chapter 31 Trouble
Jacob is a smart man. He cleaned up his mood with just a cup of tea, and then found Li, who was in a state of chaos.
Li was completely knocked down by a large number of documents and forms from various departments of the empire who suddenly appeared in front of him. The newly formed regiment had only one name. Li can imagine what this regiment would look like after it became strong many years later, but now, all of these have to be from one form and one. An application begins. Now, piles of paper documents carrying the future of a battle group have been stuffed into Li's room, and Luo Lang went out early to hang out.
As Laurent said before going out, "I do want to join the Star Wars, but I want to join because I want to protect human beings and fight against evil and cruel enemies, not with endless documents and paper."
In fact, Li is the same. He is helpless in the face of the documents full of the house. Neither the experience of learning on earth in his previous life nor the memory of a former combat mentor can help him.
How to deal with the bureaucratic departments of the complicated empire is a profound and difficult knowledge. Nowadays, just to open a small commodity store in a corner above the earth, you need to go through the seventeen departments of the empire. You need to deal with local health, taxation, management, local police, commercial departments, churches, and many other departments, not to mention building a Star Wars.
Jacob appeared in front of Lee in this situation, just like an angel falling from the sky.
"Oh, it's full of documents in a whole room. No matter when you see this kind of scene, it's always shocking." Jacob looked at Li with a smile and asked leisurely, "Lord Li, is there anything I can do for you?" Li Meng nodded. This sentence was undoubtedly the gospel sung by the angel in Li's ears.
"Lord Li's expression is really rare, hahaha," Jacob walked into the door with a smile, picked up a few documents, and threw them aside. He looked through the documents around him casually and said casually, "Even if you face three interstellar land with the body of ordinary human beings. The veteran of the team, you are also full of confidence. I didn't expect to see you crying now.
"I would rather fight against the great evil god's tyranny head-on than deal with piles of documents," Li sighed, "I don't think I can handle these documents all my life."
"A lifetime? You are an Asttart monk with eternal life.
Li Chen nodded painfully, "This is the most terrible place."
So Jacob laughed again. He could understand Li's idea, which was also the idea of most of the Star Marines. For Friars Ast, their value was always only on the battlefield. They are the perfect guardians of human beings and the killing angels on the battlefield.
"The facts are far from as terrible as you think. It only takes about one-tenth of the documents here to be useful, and only one percent needs you to do it yourself," Jacob said as he bent down and began to sort out the documents in the room little by little. He said while working, "This is It's really the usual practice of bureaucrats. For those who are not familiar with them and have not shown enough respect for them, they are willing to use this method to make you feel... er, to some extent difficult.
"They did it."
"Do you hate these bureaucrats?"
"Of course, I hate them," Li said calmly, "These guys only hold a little power in their hands, but they lack the consciousness of those in power. They don't cherish the power in their hands at all and abuse the power they have. And they never create any wealth and value, but they always look superior.
Jacob stopped his movements and asked doubtfully, "Have you never created any wealth and value?"
Yes, bureaucrats in various departments will not dig mines, make iron, grow food, make clothes, and fight enemies in the universe at the risk of their lives. The tools people use, the food they eat, the drinks they drink, the clothes they wear, everything has nothing to do with bureaucrats. Officials never create value, but are responsible for redistributing value. They should serve people, not stand above the people.
Those officials who do not create should be public servants of the people, and they should not be masters. But Li is clear that if this ideal argument is evaluated in mean language, it is "naive". In the history of another world, countless idealists have created various regimes with slogans in one way or another, but the result will always be the same, the ruling class and the ruled class.
People are born unequal. Where there are human beings, there is a class. Even heaven is no exception. There is also a clear class in heaven. The highest is God, then the archangel, and then all kinds of angels.
But these ideas cannot be said, because neither the empire nor the state religion welcome new and strange ideas, and if you follow such ideas, you will get some very inappropriate thoughts, so such thinking is poisonous, and such words are dangerous. And the managers of the empire don't want the people below them to waste their energy on useless thinking. They just need to work like a gear.
"Officials don't create value, they just redistribute value." Li waved his hand and said, "Well, this is just an interesting statement. Don't care too much. I just hate these bureaucrats. Their style, their mouths and faces, their rigid and complicated programs. I don't like all of them."
Jacob turned around, looked directly at Li and asked, "Lord Li, why did you tell me this?" These words should not be said outside.
"I'm at home now."
"But we haven't known each other for a long time, so you're not afraid that I'll say it?"
"What's the point? I'm just complaining," Li shrugged his shoulders. He didn't feel that he had said something special. "What if he said that?"
"This will make you invisibly have a lot of enemies. Although the power in the hands of these enemies is not big, they can use the small power in their hands to create a lot of trouble for you, just like you encountered today." Jacob paused and continued, "And you are not Manus. Lord Manus, like Lord Li, is straightforward and unobstructed, and never hides his thoughts. This habit has brought him many enemies in the government. But Lord Manus is the head of the Extreme Warriors, but you are not.
The words have actually been made very clear. Li understands that the Extreme Warrior Group is the most powerful group among all the star war regiments in the empire. There are more than ten sub-groups wandering in the Star Sea under the total group, and because the Extreme Warrior Group strives to help other groups after the Great Rebellion. Because of the reconstruction, almost half of all the Star Wars regiments of the empire today maintain a subtle connection with the Extreme Warriors. Manus can offend those people regardless of what he said, because he is the head of the Extreme Warriors, and Lee's Knights Templar is now just an illusion on a pile of paper.
"What's more, even in the room, you shouldn't talk like this." Jacob patiently comforted: "You should know the energy of the court. They claim to know everything. In other places, they may not be able to do this, but this is the earth, the most guarded place in the whole universe, and the ears and eyes of the court are everywhere."
Li was a little panicked by such remarks. He looked around and then sighed. Jacob was right. The desire of the court to control the people was endless. They used public opinion, media, administrative regulations, and even terrorist acts of violence to control the people's minds with everything, if he They will be happy to install a chip in everyone's mind, so that even the people's thoughts can be accurately controlled.
"It's true that I was wrong. I didn't expect so much."
"Nothing, you're just not used to it. I think you'll get used to it after a while."
"I will be careful with my words and deeds." Li promised, "It's just that it's rude to say that, but I still have to ask, Mr. Jacob, our first meeting was yesterday. I'm grateful that you took the initiative to help me today, but there must be something else for you came to me?"
