0436 Wealth Everywhere [This chapter is named by Fu He Huan-1/8 ]
Even if Galil could buy a large bucket of clean water from a watermill for a dollar, many people here don't have the money, not even a dollar.
According to the current exchange rate of Galil against the Federal Sol, one dollar of Galil is about equal to one penny of the Federal Sol, which is actually less than one cent.
But they didn't even have a penny!
This sounded inexplicable shock to the governor, and even greater fear.
"Why...... They don't have money, and I know these people live a miserable life, but no one ever talks about it. Governor Drag's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and he rubbed it, but it didn't work.
It may be that the uncontrollable throbbing of his eyelids made him feel a fear of losing control of his body, and his tone became more and more urgent, "It's just a dollar!"
His voice caught Rano's attention, and after a while, he finally had a name of his own, and that was the highlight of his life.
But he didn't take this brief moment to heart, he felt that his future would be even brighter, after all, he would inevitably take over the scepter of power from the hands of the governor of Drag, and become the most powerful man in the province.
Then, he was also a little curious about the question raised by his father at this time, knowing that every day just the necessary expenses of the family, ingredients, etc., would cost tens of thousands of galils, and he didn't think that a dollar was a lot, and he wouldn't even bend down to pick it up when he encountered it.
The butler didn't think it was a good idea to let the governor come out, and he had to explain it again.
Those old people do not represent the whole bottom of society, they are just the bottom of the bottom, abandoned by their families, or for other reasons without families, they can't find a job where they can get cash, they can only mix some food to satisfy their stomachs, so they can't take a dollar to buy a bucket of water.
Even if they had a dollar, they wouldn't do it, and they wanted to fill their stomachs more than water to beat the heat.
This explanation eased the governor's mood a little, especially when the butler said that ordinary families actually still had a few thousand galil income every month, and the governor was not as nervous as he was just now.
He asked another question, "What's the matter with those wild dogs, are they raised by these people?"
This question made the housekeeper's expression change, it was just a casual question, and the thought in the governor's mind was probably similar to "Although they look bad, they can still afford to have dogs, which means that it is not bad."
He wanted to get a result that could deceive him, but the change in the butler's expression made him immediately think of another aspect, he snorted coldly, and did not let the butler continue to answer, but gave an order, "Starting tomorrow, find some work for our police and hunt wild dogs." ”
The provincial governor continued to walk forward with a dark face, but Rano pulled the butler and didn't let go, "What the hell is going on?", his life experience is not enough for him to understand some cruel things.
The butler whispered something in his ear, and his face became gloomy.
This is not destined to be a pleasant private visit to the microserver.
The more places he walked, a more three-dimensional ordinary society appeared in the eyes of the governor of Drage, but he also became more and more incomprehensible because of this.
Why does such a barren and backward place attract the attention of so many capitalists in the Federation?
If it was covered with gems and gold everywhere, he could understand it, after all, he also wanted these things, but there was nothing here, so why did those people still come here?
"I don't know, father, there's nothing here but people!", Rano complained, the question was too difficult.
But it was this sentence that gave Governor Drager a hint of inscrutable understanding.
He looked at the dense crowd of people around him, like the walking dead, and had a terrible thought in his heart.
What if one day, all these people "lived"?
What will it look like then?
Perhaps, this is what those capitalists fancied, right?!
He had such thoughts, although he was not sure.
Just as the governor of Drager began to think for the first time after taking over power from his father, thinking about his power, status and the country as a true ruler, a cruise ship docked on the shore in the distance (already a few days later).
As soon as Lynch got out of the car, the sergeant came up with his former boys.
In addition to Lynch, there were many more soldiers who were sent here after a short training.
In fact, they don't need training, they are all soldiers who have just been laid off in the disarmament of the army, and they have not even fully realized that they have said goodbye to their past identity, and they can devote themselves to combat missions anytime and anywhere.
As for loyalty, it's not a big deal, as long as they figure out who is paying them, who is keeping them, their families to fill their bellies, and who brings them glory, then they will understand who they should be loyal to.
I have to say, money is a fucking good thing!
"Did anything special happen during my absence?", Lynch took off his sunglasses, looked at the sergeant standing in front of him and saluted, and seemed to reply as standard.
There are ways to contact with soldiers, just as Lynch has contacts with bankers and bankers, and he does not force these people to shake hands with him, and allowing them to use military salutes in lieu is a kind of respect that earns people's hearts.
"No, boss, everything is very peaceful here, and it's a bit ......"
A group of foreigners with guns, even the thorns wouldn't rush near them.
As he spoke, the sergeant's eyes were drawn to what the soldiers were carrying behind Lynch, boxes of gray matte boxes painted with waterproof paint, and the sergeant knew what was inside just by looking at the sergeant.
Lynch also glanced back and said with a smile, "Recently, many people have gone abroad to look for opportunities, and Mr. President is happy to see people's thoughts and actions like this, but considering that the lives and property of those federal citizens who are outside may be violated, the President has issued a special order to allow the purchase of all kinds of weapons." ”
"All kinds?", the sergeant's face added a look of surprise.
Although the Federation does not ban guns, not everything can be sold, automatic weapons, some explosives with great destructive power, including various large-caliber weapons that can reach the "cannon" level, are prohibited from being sold to individuals.
But this time, the Federation has opened an opening, and people can buy these weapons when they leave the country, but not when they enter the country.
Lynch bought some new weapons and standard weapons and sent them over to replace the ones they didn't have on their side before.
The sergeant was excited, as were the other boys, and soon they mingled with the new boys, all from the Army, all unlucky people who had been laid off, all from the same place, and now in the same company for the same boss.
With so many similarities that barely too much of a barrier between them, the sergeant had the car loaded onto the truck and taken to the base first, while Lynch and the others went to see the governor.
Soon his company will be recruiting workers here, which must first say hello to the provincial governor, and by the way, he also wants to see if Drager's current attitude is no different from his in the Federation.
Lynch's car entered the courtyard of the Governor of Drager without any difficulty, and the Governor was waiting for him at the door early, and the two seemed to greet each other warmly (?) before entering the governor's study.
"This is my third son, Rano, and when I come down, he will replace me as governor here. Dragher introduced his children before letting Rano leave.
In Rano's view, Drager valued him and doted on him, but he didn't know that Drag's truly favored child was about to arrive in the Federation at this time.
"May I ask a question before we get to what we should talk about next?", Governor Drager was still thinking about his questions, and now that Lynch was here, he couldn't wait to know the answers.
Lynch bowed slightly, "Please speak." ”
Governor Drager looked into Lynch's eyes and asked, word by word, in a very standard lingua franca, "What is it here that will attract you and the others?"
"I seem to have guessed something that should have something to do with people, but I can't think of what those people can do!"
"If you don't want to, you can refuse to answer, I can understand that. ”
The governor of Dragg breathed a sigh of relief after asking, and then looked at the relatives here expectantly.
Lynch said almost without thinking, "People are worthless, Your Excellency, a natural human being...... Do you understand the meaning of this word?"
"It is the human ...... produced by natural childbirth", Drager knew the word, and understood it without any problem.
Lynch nodded and continued, "Yes, people are worthless, not even as valuable as some practical beef cattle, beef can be eaten when a cow dies, and we have to pay to dispose of their corpses when a person dies." ”
"But, Your Excellency, labor is valuable, or productivity, is valuable. ”
"A piece of iron ore may be worth only a few cents, but if it is changed by labor and turned into a small iron ingot, then it is worth about fifteen cents. ”
"This little iron ingot, which is worth fifteen cents, will become hundreds and thousands of needles in the process of processing, and if you calculate it as a thousand, each one is five cents, then this is fifty yuan. ”
"When we remove the cost of materials, these things are less than one-third of the value of the finished product, and the rest is the value of labor, in addition to profit. ”
"People are not valuable, but human labor and productivity are valuable. ”
"When these people have realized their self-worth through labor and production, and have been rewarded, they have regained their qualifications to be exploited. ”
"In your eyes, this is just barren land, and in my eyes, wealth is piled up here!"
