Chapter 437 Wealth Everywhere
Even though Galil for one dollar can buy a bucket of clean water from the waterwheel, many people here have no money, not even one dollar.

According to the current exchange rate of Galil to Federal Sol, one dollar of Galil is roughly equal to one penny of Federal Sol, which is actually less than one cent.

But they didn't even have a penny!
This sounded inexplicably shocking to the provincial governor, as well as even greater fear.

"Why...they don't have any money? I know these people live a very hard life, but no one has ever talked about it." Governor Drago's eyelids jumped uncontrollably. He rubbed it, but it didn't work. .

It may be that the uncontrolled twitching of the eyelids gave him a fear of losing control of his body, and his tone became more and more urgent, "It's only one dollar!"

His voice caught Lano's attention, and after a while, he finally got a name of his own, and this was the highlight moment 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 definitely take over the scepter of power from Governor Drago and become the most powerful in the province. man.

Well, he was also a little curious about the question raised by his father at this time. You must know that the daily expenses of the family, such as food, cost tens of thousands of Galil. When it arrives, it won't bend down to pick it up.

The butler felt that it was not a good idea to let the governor come out, so he had to explain again.

Those old people do not represent the bottom of society as a whole. They are just the bottom of the bottom. They were abandoned by their families, or lost their families for other reasons. It doesn't cost a dollar to buy a bucket of water.

Even if they had a dollar, they would not do that, and they would rather fill their stomachs than water to cool off.

This kind of explanation eased the provincial governor's mood a little, especially when the butler mentioned that ordinary families still earn thousands of Galils a month, the provincial governor was not as nervous as before.

He asked another question, "What happened to those wild dogs, are they raised by these people?"

This question made the housekeeper's expression change. It was just a casual question, but the governor's thoughts were probably similar to "Although they look bad, they can still afford dogs, which means there is nothing bad about it." go"

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 instead of letting the butler continue to answer, he gave an order, "Starting tomorrow, give Our police get some work and hunt wild dogs."

The provincial governor continued to walk forward with a dark face, but Lano did not let go of the butler, "What's going on?" His life experience was not enough for him to understand some cruel things.

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

This is destined not to be a pleasant private visit.

The more places he traveled, a more three-dimensional ordinary society appeared in the eyes of Governor Drago, but he became more and more confused because of this.

Why does such a barren and backward place attract the attention of so many capitalists in the Federation?
If it is said that this place 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 is nothing here except people!" Lano complained, this question is really too difficult.

But it was these words that gave Provincial Governor Drago a glimmer of elusive understanding.

He looked at the densely packed people around him, who looked like walking corpses, and he had a terrible thought in his heart.

What if one day all these people "live"?
When that time comes, what will it be like?
Perhaps, this is what those capitalists fancy? !
He thought so, though he wasn't sure.

Just when Governor Drago began to really think for the first time after taking over from his father, his power, status and the country as a real ruler, a cruise ship docked at The distant shore (already a few days later).

As soon as Lynch got out of the car, the sergeant greeted him with the boys from before.

In addition to Lynch, more soldiers 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 army's disarmament, and they haven't even fully realized that they have said goodbye to their past identities, and they can devote themselves to combat missions anytime, anywhere .

As for the issue of loyalty, it's not a big problem, as long as they figure out who is paying them, who is feeding them, their family, who is bringing them glory, then they will understand what they are Who should be loyal to.

I have to say, money is a fucking good thing!
"During the time I was away, did anything special happen?" Lynch took off his sunglasses, looked at the sergeant standing in front of him and gave a military salute, and replied in a seemingly standard way.

There are military methods for contacting soldiers, just like Lynch has a method for contacting bankers. He does not force these people to shake hands with him and allows them to use military salutes instead. respect.

"No, Boss, everything is peaceful here, and it's still a little free..."

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

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

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 thoughts and actions, but considering that the lives and property safety of those federal citizens abroad may be affected. Infringement, so the President's decree allows the purchase of all types of weapons."

"All types?" There was a surprised expression on the sergeant's face.

Although the Federation does not ban guns, not everything can be sold. Automatic weapons, some explosives with huge 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 opened a hole. People can buy these weapons to carry with them when they leave the customs, but not when they enter the country.

Lynch bought some new and standard weapons and sent them over to replace the weapons that were not very handy on their side.

The sergeant was excited, and so were the other lads, and soon they were mingling with the new lads, all from the Army, all unlucky layoffs, all from the same place, and now working for the same company Served by the same boss.

With so many similarities, they merged into one body without too many gaps. The sergeant asked people to put the car on the truck and send it to the base first, while Lynch and others were going to see the governor. .

Soon his company will be recruiting workers here, and he must first greet the provincial governor. By the way, he also wants to see if Drago's current attitude is no different from his in the Federation.

Lynch's car entered Governor Drago's yard without any trouble, and the Governor was waiting for him at the door early. The two greeted each other warmly (?) and entered the Provincial Governor's yard. in the Governor's study.

"This is my third son, Lano. After I come down, he will replace me as the governor here." Drago first introduced his child, and then let Lano leave.

In Lano's view, Drago attaches great importance to him and loves him very much, but he doesn't know that the child Drago really loves is about to arrive in the Federation at this time.

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

Lynch nodded slightly, "Please tell me."

Governor Drago looked into Lynch's eyes, and asked word by word in a very standard common language, "What is there that attracts you and others?"

"I seem to have guessed something, it should have something to do with people, but I still can't think of what those people can do!"

"If you don't want to, you can also refuse to answer, I can understand."

Governor Drago breathed a sigh of relief after the questioning, and then looked at the relatives here expectantly.

Lynch said almost without thinking, "People are worthless, Your Excellency Governor, a natural human being... Do you understand the meaning of this word?"

"It's the human beings who gave birth naturally...", Drago knew the word, and he had no problem understanding it.

Lynch nodded and continued, "Yes, people are worthless, not even as valuable as some practical beef cattle. If the cattle die, the beef can be eaten. When the people die, we have to spend money to dispose of their corpses."

"But, Mr Governor, labor is valuable, or productivity, is valuable."

"A piece of iron ore may only be worth a few cents, but if it is transformed into a small iron ingot through labor, then it is worth about fifteen cents."

"This small iron ingot worth 50 cents will turn into hundreds of thousands of needles during the processing process. If you count one thousand needles, each one costs five cents, so this is [-] yuan."

"We remove the cost of materials, these things are less than one-third of the value of its finished product, and the rest is labor value except for profit."

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

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

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