Chapter 632 Purficott’s Question
The campaign speeches on the stage are still continuing, because there are so many candidates this time, even if each person is limited to speaking for only fifteen minutes, a group of people will still remain the same after speaking. It takes a long time.
In fact, in order to ensure that everyone has enough speech time and that the public can listen carefully to what they said and understand the specific content, the entire speech process was arranged for three days.
Each candidate will have fifteen minutes to give a speech and five minutes to answer questions.
Most of the questions asked about specific policy policies, which sounded quite boring.
It was precisely because of this that Purficott yawned.
Her gesture was naturally noticed by many people, and was also interpreted by some as the Earl of the North's contempt for these candidates.
Perfect doesn't care about this. For her, just being able to sit here and waste time with these people is the greatest respect for them.
Otherwise, if she goes directly to the Queen and says that she wants to be the Prime Minister or that she wants to arrange for someone to be the Prime Minister, there will be no room for objection from others.
Precisely because they realized this, all forces showed great tolerance and restraint towards Purficott's attitude, and no one dared to jump out and cause trouble for her.
Especially since Purfict was accompanied by her old butler today, instead of Befa who had always been serving her.
The vast majority of people in the empire do not have a correct understanding of the role of force around Perficott. In their impression, the most powerful person around Perficott is the old butler. Not the maid who is just an alchemy doll.
Because of this, when the old butler stood next to Perfectcott with a sword, his intimidating power was unquestionable.
This is a knight of honor, and it is said that he may have been promoted to a legend with the help of Purficott. What if he gets thrown a glove and asks for a duel?
You must know that the feudal era has not completely withdrawn from the stage of history. Knights are still active in all aspects of the empire. Glove-throwing duels are very common and commonplace for the people of the empire.
But even so, some people are still whispering about Purficott's attitude. They feel that Purficott's behavior is too contemptuous of their power and will actually help them run for prime minister.
"Grandpa Afu, when will the candidates for the joint election of the Northern Territory and the Dominion give their speeches?" Purficott was really bored. Today, she didn't bring Befa, so she didn't have anyone to cheer her up. Black tea and snacks can only be had by force.
The content of these candidates’ speeches basically has no core content. It can be heard that their policy platforms are all improvised. Most of them are clichés. After listening to one or two, there is nothing left. The kind that needs to be listened to more carefully.
Even if one or two can put forward some relatively new ideas, it is difficult to break away from the constraints of the existing political framework, and it is really difficult for Purficott to find it interesting.
Now she just wants to listen to her candidate's speech and show her support.
Otherwise, she felt like she would really fall asleep here.
"They are the last ones today. Miss, do you want me to prepare some drinks for you to refresh yourself?" The old housekeeper looked at the yawning Perfectcott and asked with concern.
"The last one? These guys are really petty and scared! But there is no need for drinks. Instruct the kitchen to prepare a family banquet tonight. I want to entertain a guest." Purficott heard The old butler's answer finally made his eyes clear a little, and he immediately made arrangements. After hearing Purficott's instructions, the old butler nodded and took notes. While summoning an attendant to explain, he also asked Purficott: "Miss, which guest do you want to invite? I can make specific arrangements. "
"As for Miss Kafka, the leader of the Dominion, Grandpa Afu, go and inform her personally." Purficott looked at the candidates on the stage who were answering questions and told the old housekeeper: "Wait until the representatives of the Northern Territory and the Dominion finish their speeches."
"Yes, miss." The old housekeeper nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.
At this time, the candidate on the stage seemed to have finished answering the questions. He looked around and somehow saw Purficott sitting upright again, thinking that his speech had interested the earl.
However, after noticing the other person's expression, Purficott suddenly had the idea of having fun, so he raised his hand to indicate and then asked: "This candidate, I listened to your speech just now, it seems that No specific governance measures were mentioned, and most of them were just programmatic slogans.
I would like to ask, how do you solve specific problems in specific affairs? For example, the northern border is experiencing a snowstorm and food production is reduced. How are you going to deal with this problem? "
Perficott's question is not tricky, not even embarrassing, it is just a completely normal question.
After all, as the prime minister of the empire, you will really encounter this problem in the current environment.
There is no doubt that Purficott's question also aroused the curiosity of others, so that people in the venue turned their eyes to the candidate, waiting for his answer.
The scorching gazes of the audience made him suddenly nervous. The candidate hesitated and thought for a moment before answering: "I will release part of the grain in stock, and then use it from other grain production in the empire." The district mobilizes food to help the northern border overcome the difficulties.”
This answer can only be regarded as a reasonable imagination, and it is not even close to reality.
Perfect's face suddenly couldn't conceal his disappointment, and he sighed helplessly and said: "First of all, the food rations of the people in the north are supported by the production of compressed biscuits through alchemy, and the grain production is only used to support non-staple foods.
There is indeed a food inventory, but it is an emergency material reserve and cannot be used in the absence of a famine but a reduction in food production.
< br>
In addition, there are no so-called other food-producing areas in the empire now. All the colonies have insufficient food and no ability to grow food under the wind and snow.
In other words, the largest food-producing area in the empire is the North, because only the North has enough greenhouses to maintain food cultivation to meet the consumption needs of part of the population. "
At this point, Purficott looked at the sweaty candidates on the stage with a sad look, and said helplessly: "Even if you have no actual governance experience, at least you should Let’s go and actually understand what’s going on in the empire, right?
You want to become the prime minister in charge of the empire despite not knowing anything about the current operations of the empire? What do you think the Prime Minister has become? What do you think of the responsibility of running this country? ”
Under Purficott’s questioning, the candidate’s legs went limp and he collapsed on the podium.
