Outside the prison, new buds slowly pulled out from the ground. Winter has come to an end, and spring is quietly eroding the entire world.

Everything has its natural laws. You have to go first, then go second, and then three. If there is no one and two, then everything after three will naturally not come.

On the trajectory of the timeline, everyone is moving quickly towards a purpose on the established track, and life seems to be particularly busy.

The passage of time in prison seems to be different from the outside world. In addition to using the phone to handle work outside the prison every afternoon, Li Ming also plays chess, exercises, and reads books and newspapers.

In the evening, while watching the sunset, I drank one-third of the cup of whiskey and smoked a cigar.

In this way, Li Ming saw the sunset by the prison wall sixty-three times since that day's meeting.

Although Li Ming seemed to be living a leisurely life, it was because he was in a detached state throughout the prison, and the main theme of most prisoners' lives was still extremely dark.

Different groups ruled the dark side of the prison under the bright rules, and under the arbitrary fire of Li Ming, a complete black market system has been formed in the prison.

The powerful prisoners bypassed the surveillance of prison guards, collected things that could not be bought in the official convenience store of the prison, and traded among the prisoners. "Cigarette currency" has become a special currency that survives and operates within the prison, exerting its magical power beyond its own.

Exploitation and exploitation naturally arise. In just three months, it even gave birth to gangs in prison that controlled cigarette loans, operated cigarette gambling, and some disgusting gangs.

In addition, there are even some smart prisoners who start doing business and use warm clothing, seasonings and other things to conduct small-scale business activities in private.

Li Ming does not participate in any gang activities, but the bosses of all gangs will call him [Mr. Li].

The evil forces that they had originally colluded with the outside world now have to breathe under the Li Chamber of Commerce, so these vicious people became more and more humble in front of Li Ming.

When Li Ming finished watching the sunset today and returned to his room, he saw Monicang lying on the table and was about to write something.

After pushing a delicate candy away, Li Ming took out a cigar from his cabinet and said, "Why are you writing another letter to your wife? Didn't you just let her call?"

"Now I am in prison, and I always feel that I can't say something on the phone, so it's better to write a letter." Wen Cang Zhenyi raised her head and answered Li Ming's words while spreading the letter paper.

Yes, Li Ming's cell is different from the other prisoners' cells, with good beds, tables, and even cabinets for storing cigarettes and cigars.

Although those things are there, no one dares to touch them.

About three weeks ago, a prison guard privately wanted to blackmail Li Ming some benefits, but when he was on the day off, he was broken.

Four weeks ago, a prisoner who was imprisoned for robbery tried to rob something directly from Li Ming, but before he succeeded, he was sent directly to the emergency room by a toothbrush and has not been discharged from the hospital.

Both of these things have no subsequent description, so now Li Ming's cell seems to be a forbidden area in Fox River Prison. Whether it is a prison guard or a prisoner, he is not even willing to pass by this cell.

Li Ming, who was holding candy, looked at Wenkura Shinichi, who was two rounds older than him, leaned against the bed and said casually, "I have no mind to take care of cigarettes anymore. You should take responsibility for everything from tomorrow, but you will do my daily life and other things. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Li." Fumikura Shinichi replied seriously.

"Also, if you have time, you still need to exercise more. After a while, your wife's health has recovered, I will arrange for you to do test tubes." Li Ming looked at the letter paper in front of Wen Cang Zhen, and suddenly thought of this, so he spoke.

"Ah?" Fumikura Shinichi was stunned and then subconsciously said, "In prison?"

Li Ming frowned and said, "I promised you before, are there any problems?"

"No problem, I just think......" Wencang Zhen looked at Li Ming's frown, and didn't know whether he should continue talking for a moment.

Although I don’t live like I am in prison now, the common sense over the past few decades has made Fukura Maru still unable to make any sense.

"Wencang, I'll go out after that. Fox River is still a place I value very much, and you're going to manage this place for me, so I need to change some of your ideas." Li Ming paused, took out two cigars from the cabinet, threw one to Shinichi Wencang, and sniffed the other one on the tip of his nose and said, "That's what is power? What is money?"

"Power is status, money represents resources?" Moonkura Shinichi, who is in his forties, replied like a student.

After savoring the special tobacco aroma on cigars, Li Ming continued, "On the micro level, power is the ability to restrict other people's behavior by creating differences for others. The more important the differences are to others, the greater the difference is created, the greater the power. The key to building power lies in the control of high-value resources. By controlling high-value resources, you can create differences for others."

"I understand that if you use the resources represented by money to create differences, you will have power, and then people will obey without power." Fumikura Masa nodded.

Li Ming lit the cigar, spit out a mouthful of smoke, shook his head and said,

"It is not entirely true. Power refers to the power that transports one's will to influence the choices and destiny of others. This is a kind of force, but it is different from the force in the physical world. Gravity does not require the opinions of the person subjected to force, but power requires the "consent" of the object of power.

Therefore, the essence of rights is the granting of resources, and violence is the ungranted force that controls the fate of others.

Violence is an illusory force, while rights are a real force. Violence will make the oppressed think about resisting all the time, while rights will make the obedient consciously protect your status.

The difference between the two is whether they are recognized by the other party. This kind of "recognition" is sometimes direct and sometimes indirect.

So, why do people recognize it? Why are they allowed to control your destiny? - This is because you believe that empowering me can bring you tangible benefits.

As long as you can use resources to create a difference in interests, you can drive violence to serve you, use real power to create a position of power, and drive illusory power to shape authority and consolidate status. This is authority!”

"I understand, Mr. Li, I will work hard to do it." Fukura Shinichi replied respectfully.

Looking at the somewhat excited Mankura Shiichi in front of him, Li Ming suddenly thought of something and said freely, "Do it well, don't worry about the test tube. As far as I know, there is a women's prison called Zhaojila Valley. More than 340 babies are born in prison every year. If the media hadn't exposed it, they would have almost made a red light district for businessmen with capital......"

Seeing Mutakama Shinichi relaxing a lot, Li Ming then said, "So don't worry, exercise well, I said there is no problem, there is no problem..."

I said there is no problem, and there is no problem.

I said there are problems, and there are problems if there are problems.

I want to become an immortal after being a human being, and I want to be born on earth and go to heaven. I came to this world not to follow the rules, but to climb the top of this world.

I want wealth to be as strong as a country, and I have to be extremely powerful. No one has to give me authority, I will do it myself.
