No one wanted to get up just after soaking in the hot spring water. Obviously, so did the president. He made a gesture with the housekeeper. Before long, the servants put a table into the bath.

"This is specially prepared for doing something here. Of course, it is also a gift from my grandfather!" the president sat at the table with a smile.

This table is very large. It can hold about six to eight people sitting around the table. It is oval. Everyone won't think it's too high or too short when sitting in the bath. It's just right.

The wooden surface is not painted with anything like paint, but it will give people a waterproof and greasy feeling, which is the result of continuous soaking and painting with an oil refined from wood.

This vegetable oil will do no harm to humans, water or anyone.

At the same time, its hydrophobicity and tightness can ensure that the wood will not be damaged by water, such as decay.

The table top is made of stone. The specific material is unclear, such as Purple Agate and some yellow silk threads. It looks very beautiful.

Some important areas are outlined on the table with gold and silver lines, such as betting area and memorial tablets.

Everyone gathered around. Some people said they didn't know how to play. This is a modest statement. In fact, their grade and status are not enough to participate in such a game.

If you join them rashly, you may offend others - sometimes people always think that they can't sit at the table because of others!

Lynch sat at the table. Everyone knew that he was forming his own consortium, which also indicated that he was qualified to sit at the table.

The president looked at Lynch with some emotion. Four years ago, he quoted a sentence from the young man. At that time, he was humble like a passer-by on the roadside, without any sense of existence and value.

But at this moment, looking at him, no one can ignore his impact on the country and the federal economy.

He even began to exert a great influence on national defense and diplomacy, and many things were driven by him.

The president felt a little lucky because he had a good relationship with Lynch. Lynch also donated a lot of money to him, which was really of great use.

The rest of the people are almost of this grade and will not be too high. They don't look like Mr. jeruno, Mr. waldrick, Mr. PATU and so on.

Lower than them.

"Why play something?" the president looked at everyone. "Piava or something?"

He is very old and well maintained. He can even see the outline of some muscles.

Without waiting for someone to answer him, he asked and answered himself, "piava has taken too long. With so many of us, it may take a few hours to play a game. Let's have a simple game."

With that, he began to license others. No matter his age, his status and his identity, he was qualified to make this decision.

A simple game, everyone gets two cards, and then there is a public card area.

"Small blind note a dollar, do not upgrade..."

The simple and fast rules make it easy for everyone to enter the game. The housekeeper gives chips to each guest for 100 yuan.

Of course, sometimes playing cards is not just playing cards, playing cards is just an appearance, it is not really something to reflect.

"There are a few things that have given me a headache recently..." the president said as he picked up his hand in front of him, looked down and talked casually, "food is a little nervous."

He then threw a green chip, "two..."

This is not a simple "poker game", it has a deeper meaning.

With the outbreak of the wave of federal immigration, the total population has increased sharply, and the proportion of immigrant population in the total federal population has exceeded 30%.

In previous years, grain could meet domestic demand, but it has been seriously insufficient in recent years.

With the birth of the second generation immigrants, even the third and fourth generation immigrants from the early stage to the present, more and more food gaps began to appear.

There is an interesting phenomenon that the immigrant population has more willingness to give birth than the local people in the Federation.

In the Federation, it is common for a family to have one or two children in a federal urban family, because life is more stressful, and having more children means a heavier burden.

In remote areas and rural areas, each family has about two to four children, because children are also a labor force. From being able to walk independently, they can provide a certain labor force for the family.

Moreover, the burden of living in the countryside is relatively easy, and people can feed more children.

This is just a phenomenon of ordinary families in the Federation. Everyone is like this now.

But immigrants are different. They have children crazily. Most immigrant families have at least two children. When they are many, they may have four or five or even more.

Once a sociologist was criticized for believing that these labor immigrants were "social residues that only know fertility". His statement also represents the views of some people.

Some problems caused by population expansion are also emerging. The federal food is more dependent on imports.

Domestic food has long been insufficient, but now we need to import more food, more every year than the previous year!

More and more import pressure has made food a problem restricting the federal foreign policy. Recently, food has been brought to the table in the negotiations on some international issues.

If Truman hadn't talked about it with the president, he wouldn't even know that they would have to make concessions on some issues because of food!

The gentleman on the president's left also picked up his hand card and looked, "don't follow..." and threw his hand card into the discard area.

The second is Lynch.

Lynch didn't look either. He directly lost a two piece chip and threw it into the injection area, "follow..."

He paused. "Nagarin can provide us with a lot of food every year. These problems are easy to solve."

"We can influence the employment choice of the people in nagary through some policies. If the return from planting crops is greater than work, people will know how to choose."

The president nodded, "this is a solution. There are cattle and sheep. We don't eat much plants, but more animals, especially beef!"

Lynch seems to be aware of something, nagary's cattle... To be honest, they don't taste very good.

The local climate is relatively hot and there are many mosquitoes. The local cattle are all kinds of bison. Even if domesticated, they still retain the genes of bison.

This kind of cattle has some remarkable characteristics, such as extra thick skin.

The reason for their thick skin is that they need thicker skin to resist mosquito bites and have better defense against predators.

Secondly, these cows don't have much fat. They are all fascia and hard to bite muscles.

People like the taste of fat, so most of the beef fed by the federal government is slightly fatter.

It doesn't even need extra oil in the frying pan. You can fry some oil soon.

If it's all lean beef... If someone has fried it in oil, you should understand that the high temperature makes some muscle fibers contract. Finally, the beef will be hard like a stone and difficult to swallow.

Therefore, if you want more edible beef, you must look for it from temperate and cold zones.

There will be a certain gap between lean meat and fat meat in temperate beef according to the variety and environment, but there will be some fat meat.

Cattle in the sub cold zone and near the cold zone need fat to prevent cold. The beef of this kind of cattle contains more fat and is more tender and delicious when eaten.

Among the beef produced by the federal government, the best comes from the north, because the north is colder and the fat content of beef is higher. It is tender enough to melt in the mouth!

If you go further north... It's Mario.

Perhaps the president was suggesting something. Lynch didn't respond, but looked to his left.

Four gentlemen lost their hands in succession. When the fifth gentleman, he also invested two dollars, "follow."

"In fact, what Mr. Lynch just said is almost the same. I'll add some."

He looked at the cards and said, "I think we should be tough on these people. If the federal government can give us some favorable policies, I am willing to find some suppliers internationally."

The president was silent for a moment. "What favorable policies do you think the government should have for you?"

"Tax exemption, subsidy, or export monopoly in a certain region..." the speaker put his card back, "it's always driven by interests. You know, we have thousands of employees to work in every decision, and we can't bear this loss by ourselves."

Then someone gave up, turned around, and turned to the president. He thought for a while, knocked on the table, and then opened the fourth public card.

The president seemed to be thinking. After a minute or so, he lost another two dollar chip on the table. "I think my card is OK. Maybe we can try!"

He said and looked at Lynch. Lynch also lost a chip to keep up, and so did the other person.

At the moment when the last public card was opened, Lynch shook his head and threw the card into the discard area. So did the other person. The president won the game.

He won a total of... Twelve dollars, not much money, but he seemed very happy.

The card game starts again. Every time, the president will discuss some problems with you. Sometimes he can win, sometimes he can't win. Everything seems to be an ordinary card game.

But everyone knows that it is not an ordinary card game. It has its value and significance, but some people can understand it and some people can't.

Politics and capital are, to put it bluntly, a card game.

Mr. President, a capitalist is just an identity, an identity used to participate in the card game!
