Chapter 635 Necessary Measures
How to deal with the threat of the evil cult is what Perfect has always been concerned about.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is what she cares about most.

After having completed the response to the doomsday crisis, how to resist the threats from the old gods and evil cults became Perfect's top priority.

If it weren't for this incident, perhaps Perfect would have already thrown away all worldly things and built a city in the sky to live a happy life.

But an inexplicable sense of responsibility forced Perfectot to not just leave, but to seriously seek solutions to the problem.

Nominating a prime minister to make a special response from the perspective of imperial policy is one of the measures taken by Perfecto for this matter.

Politics may not be able to solve all problems, but as long as this matter can be turned into a political trend and can bring votes to politicians, Perfectcot believes that this will become their top concern.

Of course, maybe one day things will develop to the point where you have to keep the enemy at bay.

But Perfect felt that this did not seem unacceptable. After all, if they did not leave behind some seafood, how would the world know why they had been hated by the whole world for a thousand years?
Leaving behind some evil cults can just let people know why they should be banned and be wary of them.

Moreover, the real threat posed by the evil cult is not itself, but the Old Gods standing behind it.

As long as the old gods are removed, the remaining followers of these evil cults are nothing more than a group of crazy cultists. Compared with the powerful military force of the empire, they are really not worth mentioning.

As for how to eliminate the threat of the Old Gods, that's what Perfectoct has to do.

But right now, it is Wellington and Kallen who are facing the questions raised by Perfect, and all they need to think about is how to deal with the problem of the evil god sect.

So after thinking for a while, Wellington said: "The Empire currently does not have a clear definition of what belongs to the evil god sect. Apart from the belief in the All-Father being the orthodox faith, there is no clear standard for how other beliefs should treat the Empire.

If I am elected, I will push for relevant bills on this issue during my term, establish a clear standard for evil cults and heretical beliefs, and then crack down on and ban all evil cults that do not meet the standard. "

"It's a very conventional idea. And there is a loophole if you do this. That is, what if I distort the doctrine to worship evil gods under the banner of belief in the All-Father?" It was unclear whether Perfect was trying to embarrass Wellington deliberately or looking for loopholes in his words to help him fill them, but it was obvious that she did not think highly of Wellington's approach of promoting legislation to set standards.

Kallen on the side thought carefully and said, “If there is no clear standard, then we can say who is a heretic of the evil god sect and who is a heretic of the evil god sect, which is not appropriate.

Although this is helpful in dealing with emergencies, without clear criteria, it is likely to lead to false accusations and abuse of punishment.

If possible, there should still be an evaluation standard for reference, so promoting legislation is necessary. However, we should not define the scope of review of evil cults clearly enough. It should be in a state where the public can quickly determine what an evil cult is.

At the same time, the authorities can also flexibly ban and crack down on some well-hidden or cleverly named evil cults within the scope of this review, so that it can be considered sound. "

“Having said that, how should this standard be formulated? We can make the standard a little vague, but what kind of standard can be considered as ‘allowing the public to judge whether it is correct or not at the first time, and the authorities can also make flexible adjustments’?” Perfect looked at Kallen, seemingly trying to embarrass her, but it could also be understood that she was filling in the gaps.

Faced with Perfectcot's question, Karen fell into deep thought. She didn't know how to set a suitable standard for a while.

Wellington on the side also spoke at the right time: "Thank you for the inspiration, Lord Earl. This may be used as a draft proposal for relevant laws after I take office. If I submit it to the National Assembly for discussion, they should be able to come up with a suitable plan."

"The National Assembly? That's not a bad idea. In that case, you two should prepare for the election. I hope there will be no accidents in this election." Perfectcot acted very serious, and the momentum and oppression of the great nobles were displayed vividly.

"Please rest assured, we will be careful." Wellington agreed, not thinking that he would encounter any accidents.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Wellington being elected is indeed very high, but there is still uncertainty.

Although judging from today's speeches, Wellington and Karen's performances were indeed remarkable and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as outstanding, this does not mean that the others are really bad.

According to Perfectcott's observation today, there are civil servants among the other candidates who are equally skilled in practical matters. Wellington just has the double advantage of being nominated by the North and having Kallen as a co-candidate, which makes him seem to have a sure win.

However, influencing this outcome is not as difficult as imagined.

After all, the advantages brought by the speech and the base in the North and the Dominion are mainly concentrated in the middle and lower classes.

Although they have the right to vote, it is the National Assembly that can truly decide who will be the Prime Minister of the Empire.

The Prime Minister is elected by the members of the National Assembly after a collective vote.

Although members of the National Assembly must consider whether a policy is beneficial before making a decision, and also consider whether a candidate for prime minister is qualified for the job, this does not mean that there is no room for cheating.

The people who support them in becoming members of parliament are the voters in their respective constituencies, and they are elected as members of parliament to speak for their own groups.

But this does not mean that when the public supports a candidate, as a member of parliament, you must vote for that person.

He could say, "I am responsible for the people who elected me, and I cannot let an incompetent or unsuitable person occupy the prime minister's high position," and then vote for another person. Although this may sacrifice his future as a member of parliament, compared to becoming an important contributor to the prime minister's faction and participating in the new cabinet, a little persistence and integrity are not something that cannot be sold.

It is true that money is not everything in this world, but it can indeed buy a lot of things.

Loyalty is nothing but the price of betrayal is not enough.

And sometimes, getting rid of a competitor does not require so much trouble or expense. Often, a psychopathic gunman who can be bribed cheaply can easily get rid of your enemy.

After all, in the original world before Perfectoct traveled through time, this kind of thing was commonplace for a certain troublemaker in the new century.

The assassination of the country's president is almost becoming a meme, or even a serial drama that pops up every one or two generations of presidents.

In this case, the personal safety of the two candidates undoubtedly needs attention.

"But, My Lord, will this give people the impression that we are afraid of death?" After a little consideration, Wellington asked Perfecto a question.

Although he really wants his personal safety to be guaranteed and does not want to lose his life because of participating in an election, he also has to consider the public's perception of such behavior.

Perfect looked at Wellington approvingly, nodded and explained, "Necessary security measures are needed. This has nothing to do with fear of death or not, it is simply security and defense.

Even if you don't consider assassination, when you attend some important events or public occasions, enthusiastic people will crowd in. At this time, a diligent and responsible security guard is enough to ensure that you will not be entangled, and at the same time can effectively ensure your safety. "

Facing Perfect's explanation, Wellington hesitated for a moment, then looked at Kallen beside him and asked her: "Ms. Kafka, what do you think about this matter? Do you also think that security measures are necessary?"

"A certain degree of necessary security is indeed necessary. Although I don't think the opponent will necessarily go to such extremes, as the Earl said, overly enthusiastic people in certain situations will not only hurt others, but also themselves." Kallen thought about it and still felt that certain security measures should be taken.

After all, she had done some jobs in the past and knew clearly how many ways someone could assassinate someone. In this situation, without sufficient security measures, people would really die.

Unless you possess extraordinary strength and can deal with various assassination methods.

But it is obvious that Wellington is not an extraordinary person, and Kallen is not a powerful person with extraordinary strength.

Seeing that Karen said so, Wellington thought about it again and nodded, "In that case, I will have no choice but to accept your kindness, Lord Earl."

"Don't be so polite. This is not just for you, but also for the protection of all candidates." Seeing that Wellington agreed to his request, Perfect nodded with satisfaction and continued to explain: "For the sake of fairness, I will send the White Bear Knight to protect each candidate for prime minister and ensure that they will not be threatened in terms of security during the election."

Of course, Perfect could have just sent bodyguards to Wellington and Kallen, but considering that the election was taking place right under her nose, if someone was so blind as to carry out an assassination attempt, even if just one person got in trouble after the attack, it would be a slap in her face.

So Perfect simply decided to send two White Bear Knights to each candidate, which would provide security for all the candidates and also prevent gossip.

After all, even if Perfecto really wanted to favor his own candidate, he wouldn't use such a despicable method.

Afterwards, Perfect discussed with Wellington the economic policies after he came to power. Although Karen could not get a word in, she still tried hard to express her own views.

Perfect and Wellington did not underestimate Karen's views and opinions. Instead, they listened carefully to her insights and discussed them with her.

"Improving protection for workers can effectively increase their enthusiasm for work, but those capitalists always want to squeeze every last penny out of their pockets. This is really..." Karen somehow changed the subject to her political stance this time.

Although Wellington has a different stance on this topic and a different perspective on the issue, he also agrees with this view.

"I have also done some research on this issue. I found that if workers work for more than a certain period of time, their labor efficiency will be greatly reduced. However, no factory owner has a clear understanding of this. They always simply and crudely believe that the reduction in labor efficiency is due to the laziness of the workers, and thus find ways to exploit the workers and force them to work long hours and at high intensity." Wellington shook his head with emotion. As a civil servant with practical experience, he clearly knew that this was not advisable: "Little do they know that when workers become more and more tired and continue to work for longer periods of time, production accidents are more likely to occur, and whenever such accidents occur, they will seriously affect the production of the factory.

Although they appear to be fussy about every penny, in reality they are often unwilling to pursue the most efficient production method, but instead move towards the most cost-effective production method. As a result, their costs are not effectively reduced, and their production efficiency is also not improved. "

"Capitalists are greedy. Factory owners always pursue that insignificant profit, even if they are already rich and even if they have squeezed the workers to the limit." Perfect is no longer surprised by this. In the early years, she might have felt indignant, but now she just wants to cut off the source of the problem: "So there needs to be legislation at the national level to prohibit excessive exploitation of workers, improve workers' treatment and labor protection, so as to ensure the interests of workers at the root.

This policy will inevitably face many obstacles if it is to be implemented. I suggest that before you formally propose this motion, you should conduct more social surveys to fully understand how much a factory's labor productivity has been improved while protecting the interests of workers.

In order to intuitively and clearly reflect the changes, you also need a control group to compare the gap between the two sides.

With sufficient data support, your proposal will be more convincing, and more people will support you rather than oppose your proposal. "

"Your views are truly insightful. I will try to contact some factories later and improve the working conditions of the workers according to your ideas." Wellington thought this was a very good proposal, which would increase his chances of being elected.
