C2310 The truth has been said (1/2)

This time, not only did Xiao Letian wash himself clean, he also washed Gladstone clean along the way.

No one should say that you are an ambitious person. Didn't Benjamin call you a schemer and a usurper? Today I'll break it all open and knead it to tell you, you are not a man of ambition, you are not a man of greed drooling over the throne of the Prime Minister.

It's not that Gladstone needs you, it's that the British prime minister needs you!

When the angle changed, the perspective changed. When the perspective changed, the hearts of people naturally changed. Previously, the elites of the Empire still had a sense of arrogance when they saw Gladstone. However, when they recalled their previous actions, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Gladstone had lobbied for his political ideas more than once before, and had stated many times that he was determined to work diligently on internal affairs.

If it wasn't for the fact that his Liberal Party was developing rapidly, who would pay attention to him other than his powerful abilities?

Over the years, the actual controllers of their empires had watched these politicians bounce up and down from the shadows. These politicians had faced them with the attitude of the upper class facing beggars.

All these businesses, financial oligarchs, and nobles thought that politicians were nothing more than puppets in their hands. Without them secretly supporting them, would these bunch of people, who only knew how to use their words, still want to step onto the stage?

But today, Xiao Letian's words had completely overturned the arrogance in their hearts. When the cruel truth was revealed within the situation, it was as if the onion had been peeled off, causing everyone to break out in cold sweat.

”So, we almost became the sinners of the empire. So, there are really hidden dangers under the golden age!”

No one could refute Xiao Letian's reasoning, because they had all felt the danger in their working life long ago. It was just that no one was able to explain the rules in a safe manner like Xiao Letian.

Especially those Factory Owner s, they were very clear about the status of themselves and their competitors. The boiler in the factory had been updated for many generations already, and the size of the spinning machine was getting bigger and bigger, more complicated, and the requirement of the locomotive processing parts was also getting higher and higher.

They had already felt the changes brought about by the advances in science and technology, and they had also discovered that senior blue-collar workers were becoming increasingly scarce.

It was not that there were no good jobs, but that there were no suitable people. Every day, the factory was filled with people who were extremely poor and unemployed trying to find a job, but even if you chose one or two hundred people, you might not be able to find one.

You can't even guarantee the basic literacy rate, even if you want to spend the money to train them in new machines! If he didn't even know how to read, how could he train?

Business leaders were deep in thought, while the financial industry's Bankers was sweating, because they controlled the issuance of imperial bonds, the yield on British bonds had been declining year by year for more than a decade.

This was especially true for the government bonds that were issued because of the war. The enthusiasm for buying was not as strong as it was in the past, and the return on the bonds were becoming lower and lower. This proved what Xiao Letian had just said.

”The whole planet is almost divided up, and the rest of it is input-output parkland, and Britain wants to colonize these places? Then, just wait till you've paid for your underwear! ”
