Cosma Empire

The steam locomotive slowly entered the station of Tenell City. The warehouses and land transport terminals not far away were as busy as ever. A large group of coolies were shirtless in the winter, wearing cowhide overalls to move the goods one by one. Move up and down.

Next to it, there is a large hook powered by steam, but this batch of goods does not seem to be suitable for mechanical handling.

The sweaty rough guys showed no reluctance on their faces. The treatment at the station has changed drastically from the past.

To put it simply, the salary is higher, the benefits are better, and you are not so tired. You will have at least one day of rest every week. If there is an overly heavy cargo, Mr. Klein will personally use the hook to pick it up. Help them unload.

Speaking of Mr. Klein, Du Lin really saw this old man standing at the side of the warehouse, clapping his hands loudly and directing the work order of the coolies.

Maybe he felt someone watching him from behind, or maybe it was just a moment of mental sensitivity. He glanced back, froze for a moment, then turned to face Du Lin respectfully, took off his hat, and bowed to salute.

Now he needs to look up to Du Lin, although almost nine years ago, Du Lin was just a not-so-good coolie under him.

Du Lin smiled and nodded in greeting, then looked away, and walked towards the outside of the station as the bodyguard cleared the way. Although just nodding his head, it was enough to make Mr. Klein excited for many days.

Sitting in the car that came to meet their husband and wife, Ophelia looked at the scenery outside the window very curiously. Tenell is located in the southwesternmost corner of the empire. It takes a few days to walk southwest from here to leave the border of the empire and enter To a small country on the corner of the Empire and the Commonwealth.

In the past, it was quite backward, but now it looks completely different, and the whole city gives people a completely different experience from the past.

The dirty road, where horse manure can occasionally be seen, has become quite clean, and the pedestrians have become more confident, unlike the people on the street who used to be expressionless or a little numb.

The shops on the side of the road were all open, and they didn't close their doors because of the arrival of winter. They looked like they were thriving.

In fact, speaking of it, it is still inseparable from the relationship with international financial and trade organizations.

The car drove for more than 40 minutes before arriving at a high-end residential community in the eastern city of Tener. In the past, this place was the chassis of Godol. His reputation in Tener was enough to shock people at all levels. At that time, he More reliable than the police station.

But it is a pity that he committed suicide in fear of crime in the end. Looking back now, the first batch of tycoons and celebrities that Du Lin knew, including important government officials, escaped more or less because of Peter. Run away, die or die.

Those people were indeed crazy for a long time because of Peter, but in the end they also fell on Peter. This is like a reincarnation, and no one can escape.

In the end, the car was parked outside the villa where Mason is now living. This villa used to belong to a local tycoon. Later, the tycoon was imprisoned because of some things that are not convenient to disclose, and part of his property was taken away by the Imperial Central Bank. Auction, the rest of the time fell to the town hall.

It just so happened that Mason was not the mayor at the time, but the chief of the police department, so he withheld the house as a kind of "evidence".

After he was successfully elected as the mayor, the case happened to be completely closed. He bought this unmanned building at a very low price from the judicial auction jointly held by the city hall and the Tenel City Court. Asked about the villa, and then moved in.

As soon as the car stabilized, Mason and his fiancée, that is, the little secretary came out of the room to greet him.

In fact, according to the rules, Mason is Du Lin's elder brother, and he has higher rights than Du Lin in any family, so he doesn't need to come out to meet Du Lin.

But sometimes some things are not clear, anyway, as long as it is not bad.

Du Lin got out of the car and hugged Mason, and then Mason began to introduce the girl beside him, "You know her...", this sentence was said to Du Lin. Du Lin had met this little secretary more than once, and Once, she was seen helping Mason find something from under the table.

Du Lin punched him, and Mason laughed and introduced, "Emil..." He looked at the little secretary, "You know him too, but you certainly don't know this lady..."

Without waiting for Mason to introduce, Amir followed with a smile, "Of course I know, Miss Ophelia, the president of the Angel Charity Foundation."

It was only then that Mason remembered that Ophelia still had such an identity and title. He patted his forehead, "A family of celebrities, I suddenly realized that I forgot who I am..."

Amir held his arm and didn't help him answer, while Du Lin walked towards the facade of the villa with him. Mason just made a cold joke, and Du Lin didn't think it was very funny, so He didn't answer or hold Mason.

Mason gave Du Lin a distressed look, and then laughed again. After entering the villa, the temperature suddenly increased a lot. The thermal cycle has effectively increased the space temperature in the villa's building structure, at least close to two Around seventeen or eight degrees, both Du Lin and Ophelia took off their heavy coats.

Two men sat and chatted together, and two women sat and chatted together.

"It's been a year. As a ruler, do you have any special feelings?" Du Lin picked up the firewood burning in the fireplace with tongs. In fact, this fireplace is more of a decoration.

A lot of sparks flew up, Mason took a sip of the wine with ice cubes, thought for a moment, "There are more things in charge, more power in the hands, everyone started to wear masks habitually, including myself."

This is the deepest feeling he has felt in this year. In the past, he was only a police chief, because he had the support of Du Lin behind him, and he never considered such stupid questions as what he would do if he ran out of money. .

He often treats guests, treats them to dinner, takes everyone out to play, and holds birthday parties on the police officers' birthdays.

The chief who is so generous, rich and willing to spend money is loved by everyone. If every police officer encounters some troubles and doesn't know how to solve them, they will go to Mason and explain their problems clearly.

At that time, everyone was sincere, at least compared to now, they were all sincere, enthusiastic, and without barriers.

Since he became the mayor, these things are gone, and no one comes to him to confide in his troubles, and no one tells him who is going to have a birthday, even if he wants to invite everyone to dinner, Whether it was his former colleagues or the people in the city hall, they all dealt with him cautiously and fearfully.

He could feel that those people would rather not say a word all night than say a wrong word because they said too much.

Gradually, he finally understood that power and power are different, and status and status are also different. People are afraid of his power and status and put on a mask because of it, and he also needs to wear a mask to face these people.

If you want to say that there is a special change in your life, it might be that... He glanced back at Amir and laughed twice, "As a mayor, I already feel very troublesome and tired, what about you? You will feel Tired? I think your position will drive people crazy!"

"More officials, more departments, more power entanglements, more interest entanglements, as well as problems and contradictions within the government, social problems and contradictions, there are too many, my head is about to explode when I think about it now !"

He patted his head and sighed, "This is really not a fun job!"

Du Lin nodded his head twice in agreement, but actually he didn't think so. Power seemed to him like a tool in his hands, a necessary ladder for him to pursue his ultimate goal.

Power will only make him move towards the goal he has planned more easily, and it will definitely not make him feel tired or tired.

If there is such a situation, it can only explain one problem, Mason is not made for this job.

In fact, it is true, and Mason cannot be blamed for this, because he does not have the talent in this area.

The child of a farmer in the countryside, he has not received any serious elite education, and sometimes he does not know some uncommon words. He has never even run a small business before. Let him suddenly manage a city, It is indeed difficult for some strong people.

Fortunately, there will always be someone to help him manage the city. He is more like a traditional official, as long as he manages a few top officials who are responsible to him.

This kind of management has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that if the people below intentionally collude to deceive the superior and the subordinate, Mason may not find anything wrong until he dies.

But if these people can be controlled, his workload can be greatly reduced and the government's work can be made more efficient.

In the past two years, some news about the "Xma family" has gradually spread. The brothers and sisters of the Xma family have emerged in all walks of life. Some people think that this will become the most powerful family in the empire in the next 100 years. one.

Maggs vigorously supported Du Lin. Du Lin's own ability and the political legacy left by Maggs were enough to make him infinitely close to the position of the number one man in the empire.

At the same time, his and Ophelia's child will inherit the best of the two families. From the moment this child is born, he is destined to become a character who moves the world, unless he is born a fool.

The Kesma family will affect all aspects of the empire for more than a hundred years, and some speculators have begun to plan to bet on the Kesma family.

There is no clue for Du Lin. He is too fierce and assertive. Even speculators don't like people like Du Lin, because the process of getting along with Du Lin will not be very pleasant.

On the contrary, there are already signs of the other brothers and sisters. They are more suitable for those investors and speculators to bet on the "Xma Family" than Du Lin.

For example, Kinsale's agency, the tycoons in the film and television industry invested in her agency regardless of returns, and they were not optimistic about Kinsale, but Du Lin.

This also includes the current department heads in the Tener City Hall. They help Mason manage the city well not for Mason, but for Durin!
