“It’s delicious!”

What finally soothes Thomas's heart was a casually prepared paste food.

In order not to break the rules, the things brought by the mayor of the train are only enough to make such simple food. But judging from his expression, he seems to be quite satisfied?

The radish in Ore Town is to raise people, eat more, eat more...

Halfway through the meal, Thomas suddenly spoke, "Marcus, I have also issued a notice to the federal government for the worm disaster this time, applying for disaster relief funds and goods."

"Oh? What's the result?" I looked at him expectantly. "This time the entire waterway line was hit by disaster, so I have to transport some supplies to come."

Thomas touched his funny red nose and sighed: "The federal reply said that this insect disaster is a disaster of majeure and the government does not have the obligation to relieve it. Out of humanitarianism, they will probably launch some fundraising and charity performances in big cities, and send the funds raised again."

When I saw the girls beside me pricking up their ears and eavesdropping, I quickly blocked them aside: "Children, don't get involved in dark politics. Don't blame me for being mentally polluted."

I pulled Thomas up and walked outside the door, and looked at the pot of pig food without hesitation... Cough cough, staple food.

"Trainman, what does the Federation mean? What is a disaster of majeure factors?" I asked humbly.

Thomas picked up a hard bread and started gnawing like a hamster: "Well... federal law stipulates that the government does not have special relief obligations for offshore towns, including volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, biological extinction, ocean freezing, financial crisis, marine siege and other disasters..."

"Wait a minute! Not to mention anything else, the last two disasters are clearly caused by the people in the city! They don't even help this?!"

Can anyone tell me that it is natural creatures that spontaneously hoard goods, hype goods, triggering five circuit breakers, and the greatest astronaut and president traveling to and from the stock market to and from Mars three times? Or is it that a large pile of Crab King's packaging bags floated out of the big pineapple in the deep sea, sieging the sea surface?

"This is the morality of the federal government...but it is not impossible to apply for federal aid."

“How to say it?”

Thomas was stuck in his throat by the last piece of hard bread, his face flushed with choking. He swallowed for a long time: "Ah... I almost died of hypoxia..."

I went back to the house and looked around, but couldn't find the water. I simply took out a washed radish from the kitchen and asked him to eat it while talking.

"Article 12 of the Federal Relief Act stipulates that each governing territories may apply for federal relief, with a maximum amount of no more than RMB 27 million, and funds will be allocated after being approved by the two houses of the Federal Republic of China..."

I said happily: "That seems good! Isn't it possible to purchase goods with this money?"

Thomas looked at me meaningfully: "Don't worry, there is another one behind it. Article 13 of the Federal Relief Act stipulates that the relief of the autonomous territory adopts an accounting system, with allocated funds as the total income, deducting all expenditures and expenses, profits should be made within three years, and the relief funds should be fully returned, and interest should be calculated based on the interest rate of the financial industry during the same period. If it cannot be achieved, the federal government has the right to recover debts from all officials and residents of the autonomous territory."

My first reaction after hearing this was, is it that the federal government is a full-time loan shark?

The second reaction is, if I borrow this money, will everyone have to sell themselves to pay off their debts?

The third reaction is whether the Federation is really related to slave trading companies, otherwise how can we know how much people are worth?

"Mayor, how was this ghost system formulated? Is anyone really borrowed it?"

Thomas Train said helplessly: "Of course there is one. Do you know that the original name of this bill is called the Federal Land Acquisition Act, which is specifically used to force uncooperative autonomous territories to bankrupt and then openly acquire land."

Hum? Thomas Train told me before that in the history of the federal government, the urbanization method of land annexation has dealt with those towns with independent tendencies. It seems that this system of cheating people was introduced at that time to beat hooligans.

Based on the full text, no wonder that even the financial crisis is not relieved. It seems that the financial crisis referred to by the law was caused by the government!

I could even imagine the federal means. The first step was to lead all capital into the region, hype various commodities and land prices, and create a very prosperous scene in the area.

The second step is to use government orders, commercial regulation and other means to suppress the economy and confiscate investment projects as illegal income. At this time, prices in this place soar and people are in panic, and many people will move. Unless the remaining people appear like Thomas Wayne, there will inevitably be an economic crisis.

The third step is to join hands with banks and financial institutions to refuse lending in the name of excessive non-performing assets and credit risks, and only accept it through the federal bill. Therefore, people in these towns have to make the most difficult choice: either go bankrupt and become unemployed people, or work hard to prosper the local economy and raise the money to pay back.

In the end, no matter whether the local government has the ability to breathe or not, it will suffer a heavy blow and no longer be able to promote independence. Moreover, the wealthy households in the town have experienced these and will have a clear understanding of the risk prevention capabilities of small places, and will inevitably gradually transfer assets to big cities, easily achieving the policy of Emperor Wu of Han to move the rich households of the world to empty the local area and make the central government.

Don’t ask me why I understand so much, I’m just making up. Even if I haven’t done this, have I seen a dealer bully retail investors?

"A small scene, mayor. I have seen people who owe three million to write articles..." I looked at the sky outside, a trace of floating clouds floating in the sky mischievously, completely ignoring the dangers of the world.

Thomas finished eating the carrot and burped. I suddenly remembered that this meal was breakfast for us, but for him who was at work in the early morning, it was lunch.

"If the Federation had not been tough in its means, how could it have successfully stood out and become what it is now. Unfortunately, it was not tough in its outside world..."

I said speechlessly: "Although I am now the sheriff of the town and a member of the Federation, I still think this is too despicable. How did the Federation appear?"

Thomas was shocked: "Hmm? You don't even know this!"

"You don't know what I fell from the sky."

"Okay, I thought you had to study it at least before you came..." Thomas shook his head and said, "The predecessor of the Federation was an institution composed of 13 business associations, committed to achieving local economic and industrial development. For the long-term lack of control and independent governance in the mainland, it is a solution that all parties are satisfied with. After all, using commercial means is better than using force..."
