Chapter 709: The Future of the Federation
For the people of the Federation, this pouring rain heralded the arrival of the rainy season, and they were immersed in the frequent victories on the front line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
How inspiring it is that they have not fought a war for many years, but they have won a series of battles! The people cheered.
On the other hand, merchants are frustrated by the fact that the prices they buy are getting lower and lower, and the lower purchase prices mean that their incomes are getting lower and lower.
In addition, a large number of workshops are unable to operate because the goods produced cannot be marketed, and many people have lost their jobs as a result.
If all prices were low, they would be able to make ends meet, but some of the things they could not produce themselves would be ridiculously expensive.
For example, salt, a daily necessity, a few years ago, with their income level, they could easily buy a few catties of edible salt and swallow it.
But now that prices are still high, and their income is getting smaller and smaller, they have reached the point where they can't afford it at all, and they have to take the risk of buying sea salt delivered by smuggling ships from other places, but for the Demok Federation, commerce is their lifeline, and smuggling is the natural enemy.
They suppress selfishness very hard, and once they are caught smuggling, they will cut off their five fingers at the least, or send them directly to the gallows for public execution.
This directly led to the embarrassing situation that although this year is a bumper harvest, a large number of fruits and vegetables are in the field, and there are not many people to harvest.
In the past, merchant ships from the northern ports of Blackwater would come to the Federation to buy grain on a large scale, offering a price that satisfied the farmers.
But with the outbreak of the war, trade with the port of Blackwater was completely cut off, and the food was completely enough to eat by their own market.
Anyway, no one wants to go to the field to harvest, so they simply rot in the ground, and it saves the trouble of harvesting, but being washed away by the heavy rain means that their year's work has been wasted, and the honest farmers really don't understand what is going on.
"In the past, when we couldn't afford to eat, didn't we have a good time farming? Why do we grow so much grain now that we can't starve to death, but why are the days getting worse and worse? I really can't figure out what the problem is, who can tell me the answer?"
"Actually, it's all those businessmen who are harmed, if they hadn't kept the price down, we wouldn't have been unable to sell, and if we couldn't sell it, we wouldn't have made money, and if we couldn't make money, we wouldn't have money to buy other people's things, and if other people's things couldn't be sold, they wouldn't have money, as if it had become like this. ”
"But the local merchant buys so much, and we all want to exchange money, no wonder he will keep the price so low, alas, now life is getting more and more difficult, I really don't know where the future is, if we can recover the ...... with the port of Blackwater"
The farmers watched the rain with their tools in the mill and were so moved that they were talking about the port of Blackwater.
But he soon realized that the two countries were now at war, and that this was a taboo subject that should not be mentioned, and immediately silenced him.
They watched as the rain poured and worried about the future, while the lights were bright in one of the mansions in Liberty City.
"Cheers to our low-hanging fruit victory, hahahaha, it's a pleasure to finally take down that old guy from Taaffe this time. ”
"Congressman Wilson is really bold this time, we really didn't choose the wrong person, Congressman Wilson can lead us to a new tomorrow!"
"That old guy at Taaffe has always been against tax increases, and now that the Federation is so prosperous and has become the number one power on the mainland, how can it be done without tax increases?"
"Those farmers just need to work for us honestly, this ham tastes so good, you can try a piece of it." ”
These councillors were all followers of Wilson, and although Wilson had not yet announced the final victory, they had already celebrated it in advance in private.
The glittering crystal lamps reflected the sumptuous silk robes of the guests, all of whom looked elegant and charming, with aristocratic smiles.
Waiters shuttle back and forth with plates of delicate food, melodious music plays, and musicians play music.
They tasted wine, enjoyed food, talked about their business, and they were the mainstay of the Federation, and they were all rich.
Now that Wells will knock out Taffe from power, their days will definitely get better and better, and the future will be bright.
"It's great that if we get rid of the Taaffe father and son barriers, we can make more money and live a better life. ”
"The Taaffe father and son are simply stubborn, the country in their hands is simply a disaster, and we have a future in our hands. ”
"Toast to our bright future, the Federation will get better and better in our hands, and the people will be grateful for it, right? ”
These upper-class aristocrats celebrated happily, unaware that there were homeless homeless people trembling outside their splendid mansions.
They are workers who have lost their jobs, who have lost their families and who have nowhere to go but to look at the lights on cold, rainy nights.
What a tempting smell came from there, were they having a banquet? The smell of ham, the smell of roast chicken, the smell of wine.
This makes the mouthless people's saliva almost come out, and they are waiting here for these dignitaries to throw the extra food into the garbage heap after the banquet is held, so that they can go over and compete for a good meal! This is also the purpose of their coming here to take shelter from the rain.
It's just that their dreams are still going on, and there are already guards who have come to disperse them, these guards in beautiful boots, kick them up without mercy, they staggered and crawled before leaving the vicinity of the mansion, if they were slow, their legs and feet would definitely be broken alive.
"These lazy homeless people know that they come here to cause trouble, it's really unusual, and they have to clean them up when they see me again!"
"But in recent years, there seem to be more and more homeless people in the city, what the hell is going on, I always feel that this day is a bit strange. ”
"Alas, forget it, let's work hard, do our best to work for those big people, one day get a little allocation, maybe we can enter their level, I don't want to live a life at the bottom, it's like a lowly ant, everyone cheer up, it's really cold today." ”
The guards said a few words in boredom, and then went back to their posts.
Heavy rain is still falling.
