Chapter 575 Exploitation

Ambassador Lionheart expressed that he understood that everyone is a minion and there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said.

He naturally accepted this 'friendship', clenched his hands, and stuffed a golden coupon into the other person's hand.

"We will find a way to communicate on our own."

Others will definitely not help with this kind of thing.

Of course no one pays attention to the humble people of the country.

The Lion Heart Kingdom's position in the Great Xia Empire is so embarrassing.

Fortunately, they have money. Although there is a huge gap in the overall national strength, the wealth of the Lion Heart Royal Family ranks among the top in Daxia.

Part of the property of the Lion Heart Royal Family is deposited in the Royal Bank of Daxia, and can be cashed on sight.

As an ambassador of the kingdom, you can withdraw a certain amount of gold coins after getting the authorization password, which is very convenient.

The Ambassador knew that Time's motivations might be more than just financial considerations.

If it were just an economic issue, it would be simple.

If it is for political reasons, even if it is just the political leanings of a small number of people in the Daxia Empire, it will be a big trouble.

The key is that he still has to give gifts with a smiling face and a coveted face.

But as a small country, it is so frustrating.

He could only assume that the other party was doing it for money and then go explore the situation.

After seeing off the Daxia diplomats, Ambassador Lionheart opened the cabinet and took out Smith's file.

As a senior official at the ministerial level, although the Ministry of Electric Power has just been upgraded, its importance is unquestionable.

The Ministry of Electric Power has never been left out of the Lion Heart Kingdom’s annual gift-giving list.

He also has basic information on the Ministry of Electric Power, and there are also many files on the Smith family.

Of course, most of it is public information, and a small part of it is information purchased with money.

After reading it again and carefully guessing Smith's general character, Ambassador Lionheart frowned.

No matter from which perspective, Smith is a relatively pure official who has never expressed his views on the international situation.

In the embassy's information, it is also marked as a neutral and goodwill faction.

It is difficult to imagine that such a person suddenly became a radical.

And even if some people want to launch a spokesperson, they should not choose Smith.

He is a technical official and an extremely important ministerial official, so he does not fit the role of a vanguard.

"Is it really a coincidence? A young lady's game?"

Ambassador Lionheart felt a headache. He didn't believe in coincidences.

If he were in the Lion Heart Kingdom, he would have a hundred ways to solve this problem, but now...get ready for gifts!

Ambassador Lionheart did not visit rashly. He prepared gifts and formally went to the Ministry of Electric Power to seek an audience.

This was a business matter, and he didn't want to touch the other person's sensitive nerves with certain actions.

Even if he breaks up with each other, he is not qualified to threaten the ministerial officials of the Great Xia Empire.

It is only official and does not involve the family.

All means must be legal.

…

"The Ambassador of the Lionheart Kingdom wants to see you?"

Smith really didn't expect that the other party would come to his door, but after thinking about it, he understood the other party's intention.

I thought my son-in-law could handle it, but I didn't expect that he would take the blame in the end.

It's a pity that he has nowhere to get angry, first the monarch and his ministers, and then his family and parents.

Could he still take it out on his son-in-law?

Rubbing his temples tiredly, Smith ordered: "Let him come in."

Because this matter was wrong, Smith still wasn't completely evil-hearted. He thought about it and stood up and made tea for the other party himself.

When Ambassador Lionheart came in, he happened to see Minister Smith holding a tea cup, with steam rising and white mist floating in the air.

He felt relieved, and it seemed like the situation was better than he imagined.

If this matter didn't involve politics, it would be much easier to resolve.

For the Lionheart Kingdom, problems that can be solved with money are obviously not problems.

If one country supports a family, one can see wealth.

Smith asked the other party to sit down very politely, and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, my little girl has caused some trouble for your Lionheart Kingdom."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Ambassador Lionheart responded with a smile: "Miss Claire is so talented and eye-opening.

It's just that the selection of materials...is a little bit wrong.

On behalf of the Lionheart Royal Family, I am willing to donate 100,000 gold coins to Time Magazine so that Miss Claire can show her talent in a different direction. "

Smith's hand shook. He didn't expect that his face was so valuable.

After smiling awkwardly, Smith said: "Forget it if you donate, you won't receive any reward for no merit, and I don't dare to agree on my daughter's behalf."

Don't dare!

Ambassador Lionheart noticed this wording sensitively, and this result was also expected.

He didn't even change his color, and told Smith a lot about the difficulties of the Lionheart Kingdom, and strongly condemned the mob, Haman's betrayal and other actions.

For the ruling class, they have a common language in this regard.

How can we live a life of superiority to others without exploitation?

How can a few enjoy happiness if the majority are not allowed to suffer?

Let’s get rich first and enjoy ourselves, can’t you wait in line later? It is simply unreasonable for you to dare to rebel.

The exploitation of the Lionheart Kingdom was even more naked, and the remaining value was insufficient, so large-scale riots were triggered.

In fact, the Daxia Empire was essentially the same, except that each person could create more value. With the same level of exploitation, there was enough left for the common people to survive.

Then the means of exploitation are more subtle. In the past, they had a clever name, but now they are called platforms.

In the past, socially unstable elements directly formed gangs, but now they may be called so-called gangs.

Tax collection has also changed from chaos to unity, with centralization and fewer intermediate links.

For the ruling class of Daxia, life is getting better and better, and there are more and more ways to enjoy.

This is human nature, not something that can be eliminated by the system.

It's just that most people don't realize it, and even shout freedom and sing praises.

Smith knows all this, but on the other hand, an ideal society cannot exist.

A group of idealists may maintain an ideal country for a period of time, but it will eventually collapse.

The two chatted for a while, and Ambassador Lionheart had an intuitive understanding of Minister Smith.

This is not a pure politician. Although he has the skills of a politician, he still has some persistence in his heart.

Such a person can't do this.

Of course, it may also be that the other party disguised himself too well.

In any case, today's purpose has been achieved.

Ambassador Lionheart pushed the check forward and stood up to say goodbye: "Since Miss Claire doesn't accept it, I will give it to the Minister's home. It's a small respect... to make a friend."

For the Lionheart Kingdom, the Minister of Electricity is worth the price.

Smith didn't even have a chance to refuse, and the other party left.

The minister was left staring at the huge check in a daze.

To be honest, he had been working for more than three years, and this was the first time he received such a large bribe.
