Even if Gary can buy a big bucket of clean water from the waterwheel for only one dollar, many people here have no money, not even a dollar.

According to the current exchange rate between Galilee and federal sol, a dollar Galilee is roughly equal to a penny federal sol, but in fact, it is less than a point.

But they don't even have a penny!

This sounds to the governor with inexplicable shock and greater fear.

"Why... They don't have money. I know these people live a hard life, but no one has ever talked about it.", governor delag's eyelids jumped uncontrollably. He rubbed them, which didn't work.

Maybe the uncontrolled beating of his eyelids made him have a fear of losing control of his body. His tone became more and more urgent, "it's just a dollar!"

His voice attracted lano's attention. After a period of time, he finally got his own name. This is the highlight moment of his life.

But he didn't take this short moment to heart. He felt that his future would be brighter. After all, he was bound to take over the scepter of power from governor delag and become the most powerful man in the province.

Well, he was also curious about the questions raised by his father at this time. He wanted to know that tens of thousands of galilees would be spent every day just for the necessary expenses of the family, food materials and so on. He didn't think a dollar was a lot, and he wouldn't even bend down and pick it up.

The housekeeper thought it was not a good idea to let the governor out, and he had to explain again.

Those old people can't represent the bottom of the whole society. They are just the bottom of the bottom. They are abandoned by their families, or they have no family for other reasons. They can't find a job that can get cash and can only mix some food, so they can't afford a dollar to buy a bucket of water.

Even if they have a dollar, they won't do that. They want to fill their stomachs more than the water used to relieve the summer heat.

This explanation eased the governor's mood a little, especially when the housekeeper talked about ordinary families, in fact, there were still thousands of Galil income every month. The governor was not as nervous as before.

He asked another question, "what's the matter with those wild dogs? Are they raised by these people?"

This question changed the housekeeper's expression. Originally, it was just a casual question. The governor's mind was probably similar to "although they look very bad, they can afford dogs, which shows that they can't be bad."

He wanted to get a result that could deceive himself, but the change in the housekeeper's expression immediately reminded him. On the other hand, he snorted coldly and didn't let the housekeeper continue to answer, but gave an order, "starting tomorrow, find some jobs for our police and kill wild dogs."

The governor went on with a black face, but lano didn't let go of the housekeeper. "What's the matter?" his life experience was not enough for him to understand some cruel things.

The housekeeper whispered something in his ear, and his face became very gloomy.

This is not destined to be a pleasant private visit.

The more places you go, a more three-dimensional ordinary society appears in the eyes of governor delag, but he doesn't understand it more and more.

Why does such a barren and backward place attract the attention of so many capitalists in the Federation?

If it is covered with precious stones and gold everywhere, he can understand. After all, he also wants these things, but there is nothing here. Why do those people still come here?

"I don't know, father, there's nothing here but people!" lano complained. This problem is really too difficult.

But it was this sentence that gave governor delag an elusive insight.

He looked at the people around him, like walking corpses, and had a terrible idea in his heart.

What if one day these people "live"?

At that time, what will it be like?

Perhaps this is what the capitalists like?!

He has such an idea, although he is not sure.

Just after governor delag began to take over power from his father, when he really thought about his power, status and the country as a real ruler for the first time, a cruise ship docked on the far shore (a few days later).

As soon as Lin Qi got out of the car, staff sergeant greeted him with the boys before.

Besides Lynch, more soldiers were sent here after a short training.

In fact, they don't need training. They are soldiers who have just been dismissed in the army disarmament. They don't even fully realize that they have said goodbye to their past identity. They can devote themselves to combat tasks anytime and anywhere.

As for loyalty, it's not a big problem. As long as they find out who is paying them, who is feeding them, their families, and who brings them glory, 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 and looked at the staff sergeant standing in front of him. It seemed that he returned one standard.

Contact with soldiers belongs to soldiers, just as Lynch has contact with bankers. He does not force these people to shake hands with him and allow them to use military gifts instead. In itself, it is a kind of respect that can earn people's hearts.

"No, boss, everything is peaceful here, and there is a little leisure..."

A group of foreigners with guns, even those spikes, will not rashly approach them.

While talking, the staff sergeant's eyes were attracted by the things that the soldiers were carrying behind Lynch. Boxes of gray matte boxes painted with waterproof paint knew what was inside just by looking at the staff sergeant.

Lynch also glanced back and said with a smile, "recently, many people have gone abroad to look for opportunities. Mr. President is happy to see people's ideas and actions. However, considering that the life and property safety of federal citizens outside may be infringed, the president has ordered to allow the purchase of all kinds of weapons."

"All kinds?", the sergeant's face was more surprised.

Although the Federation can't help guns, not everything can be sold. Automatic weapons, some explosives with great destructive power, including various large caliber weapons that can reach the "gun" level, are prohibited from being sold to individuals.

But this time, the Federation has opened a hole. People can buy these weapons and carry them with them when they leave the customs, but not when they enter the country.

Lynch bought some new weapons and standard weapons and sent them to replace the weapons they didn't take advantage of before.

The staff sergeant was very excited, and so were the other boys. Soon they became one with the new boys. They were all born in the army, all the losers who were dismissed, all from the same place, and now they serve the same boss in the same company.

With so many similarities, they almost merged into one without too much estrangement. The staff sergeant asked people to load the car into the truck and send it to the base first, while Lynch and others had to see the governor.

Soon his company will recruit workers here, which must first say hello to the governor. By the way, he also wants to see if delag's current attitude is no different from that of him in the Federation.

Lynch's car entered governor delag's yard without any difficulties. The governor also waited for him at the door early. They seemed to greet each other warmly (?) and entered the governor's study.

"This is my third son, lano. When I come down, he will replace me as the governor here.", delag first introduced his child and then asked lano to leave.

In lano, delag attaches great importance to him and dotes on him, but he doesn't know that delag's really beloved child is about to reach the Federation at this time.

"Before we talk about what we should talk about next, can I ask a question?", governor delag is still thinking about his questions. Now Lynch is here, and he can't wait to know the answer.

Lynch nodded slightly, "please."

Governor delag looked into Lynch's eyes and asked word by word in very standard common language, "what's here that will attract you and others?"

"I seem to have guessed that it 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."

Governor delag breathed a sigh of relief after asking, and then looked forward to seeing relatives here.

Lynch said with little thought, "man is worthless, governor, a natural human... Do you understand the meaning of this word?"

"Human beings born naturally..." delag knew the word and had no problem understanding it.

Lynch nodded and continued, "yes, people are worthless, not even as valuable as some practical beef cattle. When cattle die, beef can be eaten. When people die, we have to spend money to deal with their bodies."

"But, governor, the labor force is valuable, or productivity, is valuable."

"An iron ore may only be worth a few cents, but if it is changed into a small ingot through labor, it will be worth about 15 cents."

"This small iron ingot worth 15 cents will become hundreds and thousands of needles in the process of processing. It is calculated as 1000 needles, and each one is five cents, then this is 50 yuan."

"We remove the material cost. These things are less than one-third of the value of its finished products. The rest, in addition to profits, is the value of labor."

"People are not valuable, but human labor and productivity are valuable."

"When these people realize their self-worth and get paid through labor and production, they are eligible to be exploited again."

"In your eyes, this is just barren land. In my eyes, wealth is piled up here!"
