I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

However, when the Duke of Windermere arrived in Londinium, he had originally planned to happily watch two episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister" and then go to bed, but he found that the Duke of Wellington and Abramina were taking notes very seriously.

The Duke of Windermere's only eye wrinkled slightly, revealing a somewhat horrified expression as he said:

"Don't tell me you really intend to learn how to govern a country from this. Isn't this a political comedy?"

"Duke of Windermere, have you not watched the second season?"

On the side, the Duke of Wellington also asked the Duke of Windermere curiously, but the Duchess nodded with a stern face and replied:

"I'm very busy, old Wellington. To be honest, I haven't even finished watching the first season. It was my subordinates who notified me of it. I watched it for a while in my spare time. It's interesting, but I don't have time to catch up."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you have a daughter to take care of at home." The Duke of Wellington also reacted. He was different from the other dukes. He was a true strong mother and basically put his daughter first.

However, the Duke of Wellington did not look down on Windermere because of this. Instead, he invited him in a friendly manner:

"Then take a look at it now, Windermere. This is a masterpiece. The help it can bring to us today may be beyond our imagination."

"…Old Wellington, are you suffering from Alzheimer's? It's just a comedy after all. What reference value can it have?"

The Duke of Windermere was also a little suspicious. However, when she cast her eyes on Abbrana who was taking notes seriously, and even the Duke of Wellington himself looked very serious, she couldn't help but wonder... During these months when she was busy defending the border, were these old guys secretly learning from her?

No matter what, since they learned it, I had to learn it myself. With this in mind, the Duke of Windermere put aside his prejudices and focused on the plot.

In the plot, the Blood Demon Lord, who had already planned to participate in the show, also found Tracy and handed over the cabinet agenda. What was rare was that the Blood Demon Lord also began to ask Tracy, a former media person, for advice on how to deal with media questions.

When they heard about dealing with the media, the eyes of the top leaders of various countries lit up and they took out banknotes to record them. You know, this is Huck, played by Tracy, and it can be said to be the most helpful part!

"If you try to be perfunctory or beat around the bush, they will just cut it off. You have to say something." Tracys obviously knew how the Blood Demon Lord, who was a "master of long and difficult sentences", would respond, and immediately shared some of his own experience:

"It has to be clear and interesting."

"Perhaps you can give me some advice, Prime Minister." The Blood Demon Lord, realizing that he was not as good as Tresis in one area, immediately sat down and asked about the points he was worried about.

"Especially when the questions are provocative."

"That's even better. The audience will sympathize with you." Tracys thought there was no problem, but the Blood Demon Lord replied worriedly: "But I have to answer, right?"

"——Why? You never answer my questions?"

Tracy's words also made the audience who followed "Yes, Prime Minister" all the way laugh with understanding. Because of this, Tracy also mentioned to Manfred that a private secretary and a cabinet secretary received such an evaluation from the Prime Minister, which made people feel that Tracy, the Prime Minister, was really "isolated and helpless".

In response to this, the Blood Demon Lord smiled and generously admitted this, saying: "No, no, these are two different things, Prime Minister."

"Ludwig (VBC3 host) might ask some expert questions."

"His research mentioned that many people want to ask, why do I have so much power concentrated in my hands?"

However, regarding the issue that Lord Blood Demon was worried about, Tracys was also slightly startled, but then he revealed a subtle smile, and said with a smile that revealed the truth:

"A lot of people? Not many people (civilians) have heard of you, right? Humphrey."

For the Blood Demon Lord's "self-conceit", Tracy also rarely laughed at Tracy. After all, he knew very well that most civilians didn't even know the names of their local government officials, so how many of the highest officials in the civil service system would they know?

Even if there are, they are basically the ones with the greatest influence and expressiveness. As for Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, the driving force behind the civil service system, who holds the title of "secretary" of the cabinet but actually holds astonishingly great power, few people would care about him unless they are insiders.

At this moment, Manfred also stepped forward to help out: "Maybe 'they' refers to many Radio 3 listeners."

“Isn’t that a contradiction?” Tracy said bluntly, almost no one listens to Radio 3, so how could there be “many” listeners?

However, Tracys was still a good person and proposed a solution to this problem:

"Well, if he really says that many people want to know, you can just say 'name six' and I guarantee he won't be able to do anything!"

"There's no way he could remember more than two."

And when Tracy once again introduced the little tricks for dealing with reporters' harassment and interrogation, almost at this moment, the senior officials of various countries wrote down this method as soon as they heard it, and they will definitely be able to use it next time!

Even the Duke of Windermere, who was skeptical at first, was enlightened when he heard about this method of dealing with reporters and found it extremely useful.

"Those war correspondents are really troublesome... I have to admit that I helped a little, but I don't have the time to answer their questions."

"If I could learn some methods to deal with these reporters...it would be the right time to come here."

As one of the Dukes of Windermere guarding the frontier, his attitude towards Victoria's royal power is rather ambiguous. He is the type of person who thinks, "It doesn't matter who is in charge, I am loyal to Victoria." But she also has to deal with many reporters, and she is not good at speaking. As a frontier duke, her attitude sometimes has to represent Victoria.

Now, the knowledge shared in "Yes, Prime Minister" made the Duke of Windermere feel that he had finally found a way to deal with these annoying reporters! He immediately paid special attention to it and completely forgot his previous attitude.

Afterwards, Tracy shared more experiences and continued: "For example, you can attack by grabbing a word, such as... 'frequently'."

"'Frequently? What is frequent?'"

"Or attacking the presenter, like, 'Obviously you didn't read the white paper, did you?'"

"Or, 'That's a good question. Now let me ask you a question.' See?"

Tracy sincerely shared some of his experiences as a media person with Lord Blood Demon. However, these experiences not only helped Lord Blood Demon, but also benefited the audience outside the screen.

However, even so, the Blood Demon Lord had no intention of helping Tracys avoid questioning in the House of Commons and denying the idea of ​​wiretapping the phone calls of MPs.

The Blood Demon Lord was very "righteous" and didn't want to help Tracys cover up his lies. Of course, the Blood Demon Lord didn't get involved in this mess mainly because he was worried that there would be evidence of him in the future. In this way, for someone like him who didn't want to be implicated in the old case after retirement, any possible evidence would not be caught.

Although the character of Humphrey already had a lot of negative information before "Yes, Prime Minister", this did not prevent him from not wanting to leave more negative information.

"Oh, the intricate web we have woven." The Blood Demon Lord rejected Tracys with a poetic sentence, and Tracys, who had just sold some experience, was also very unwilling and continued:

"Humphrey, you have to be loyal."

"——I am loyal to the facts." However, Lord Blood Demon still maintained an upright attitude and rejected the knife in a serious manner: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, I cannot participate in such despicable deception."

After saying that, Lord Blood Demon strode out of the office. If one hadn’t seen him all the way, some people might have thought that Lord Blood Demon was a “loyal minister”.

"He rejected me so straightforwardly, and it was my boss. It's not good to narrow my path."

However, at this moment, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but reveal a smile of watching the fun at the behavior of the Blood Demon Lord. He had vaguely guessed that the Blood Demon Lord would definitely fail this time, as people who are too confident in themselves often do.

But in comparison, I learned more ways to deal with reporters. How did this guy know so many ways to deal with reporters? Why did it feel like he had more experience than me, the ruler of Longmen? But I didn't see this guy on TV much.

Wei Yanwu was a little confused, but he didn't know that tomorrow he would see Chen Qi on TV for the second time since the Victoria Film Festival, and from that day on, the class gap between his dear nephew-in-law and him, the ruler of Longmen, would be shortened a lot, and they would become a truly "well-matched" nephew-in-law.

Chapter 163: Blood Demon Lord: I will give you a good way to reduce the unemployment rate

"On the contrary, in the conduct of the state, there is inevitably some shared responsibility between the legislator and the executive. In every case, the cause is the end of the effect, or the end of the means..."

The next moment, the camera turned and the Blood Demon Lord was already sitting in the studio. In front of him was the host of VBC3, "Ludwig". However, judging from the other party's expression, this interview was not going very smoothly.

After being enlightened by Tracys, a former media person, Lord Blood Demon perfectly combined his "long and difficult sentences" with the host, successfully leaving the experienced host helpless.

Seeing that Lord Blood Demon used so many professional terms and various obscure words that almost no one was interested in listening to, Ludwick also hurriedly tried to interrupt:

"I see, but could you be more specific? I mean to what extent is the civil service responsible for unemployment?"

"Yes, of course." Faced with such a sharp topic, the Blood Demon Lord, who had already "accomplished his magical powers", answered fluently. He knew very well that the topic of unemployment must not have any biased answers, otherwise it would be easy for the media to catch on and distort his meaning.

When facing this kind of topic, the best way is not to speak human language, just don't express your opinion and say that it is not something you can control.

"The media term 'unemployment' is a catchall term for a wide range of socio-economic phenomena, the most obvious manifestation of which, politically speaking, is precisely ..."

"Yes, but could you be more specific..."

"——Excuse me, Mr. Kennedy. You asked me to ask the question. Let me finish answering first."

However, the Blood Demon Lord did not give the host any chance to regain control of the overall situation, and firmly grasped the essence of "Don't worry about what questions are asked, just answer your own questions" mentioned by Tracy when he scolded Manfred in the previous episodes.

"In fact, the National Unemployment Registry receives weekly summary data on unemployment, which is considered to be higher than historically acceptable levels..."

The speech of Lord Blood Demon was impeccable. Anyone who listened to it could describe it as "boring", but this was the effect Lord Blood Demon wanted to achieve.

Because only in this way will basically no one be interested in studying and researching his answers, and this way most of the people will have "no opinions" - if they can't even understand the officials' answers, how can you expect them to have any opinions?

However, the result was that the Blood Demon Lord's speech became long-winded and boring. Anyone who listened to his speech would find it dull and boring, just like the two staff members in the play at the moment.

"——This reminds me of the speech you gave when you first took over Longmen and suppressed the local infected riots."

At Longmen, Wen Yue listened to the Blood Demon Lord's drowsy speech on TV, but couldn't help but cast her eyes on Wei Yanwu who was smoking beside her, and teased:

"You used this method to fool the reporters back then, right? That was the most boring time I've ever felt about you since I met you."

"...So what about now?" Wei Yanwu was also embarrassed. He did some wrong things or extreme things in order to govern Longmen. However, apart from the matter of the small tower, Wei Yanwu thought he had nothing to be ashamed of. But he didn't know how his wife viewed him at the moment.

However, Wen Yue blinked and smiled before replying:

"...It's still boring, but I don't hate it."

The flaunting behavior of this model couple made the young women standing by, represented by Chen Huijie, roll their eyes and look away, with expressions more sour than eating a lemon.

"I'm a little bit thinking about Chen Qi now. He would definitely dare to say something like 'Captain Wei, if you want to do anything sexual, the bedroom is right next to you', right?"

Chen Huijie couldn't help but think about it in her heart, but apart from this reason, she also missed Chen Qi and Tallulah very much. Although she watched their award ceremony at the last Victoria Film Festival, Chen Huijie felt a little guilty that she had not been able to help Chen Qi and Tallulah except for the beginning of filming "Young and Dangerous".

Especially now, Chen Qi and Tallulah's identities are no longer the same as before. They are people protected by both "hell" and "heaven". This makes Chen Huijie feel that they are getting farther and farther away from her.

However, the sadness was only momentary, and soon Chen Huijie regained her composure. After all, no matter what, they had reunited, and there was no need to be so sad because of a little distance.

In the plot, Lord Blood Demon's boring speech is finally coming to an end. According to the principle of "it's the same as saying nothing", he successfully conveyed nothing.

"The statistical significance is too subtle to be fully expounded on in the context of a popular radio show."

"...Sir Humphrey Appleby, thank you very much."

In the end, the host gave up hope of getting any useful information from Humphrey and uttered the words that marked the end of the show.

At this moment, the studio staff finally couldn't stand this boring show anymore and complained to their colleagues: "If this is considered a popular show, then what are the unpopular shows like?"

"Hahahaha!"

The staff's complaints perfectly showed that the Blood Demon Lord was still impeccable this time. When the Blood Demon Lord thought that the show was over and his crisis was resolved, the host Ludwick wanted to continue asking about the topic of "unemployment".

"Like, the truth?"

However, when Ludwick said this, the Blood Demon Lord, who thought the show was over, suddenly laughed. And it was this laugh that made all the executives who were watching the TV show subconsciously feel that something bad was going to happen.

As expected, the Blood Demon Lord relaxed his guard and immediately regained his "teacher-like" character. He immediately spoke the truth without restraint and said with a smile:

"Dear Alu, no one tells the truth about unemployment."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because everyone knows that it only takes a few weeks for unemployment to fall."

As soon as Lord Blood Demon said this, everyone's attention was immediately focused. For a moment, even the top leaders of various countries in the Terra continent were stunned, because they had no idea what the so-called "everyone knows" method of reducing unemployment that Lord Blood Demon mentioned was.

Moreover, unemployment has always been a vexing problem for all countries, because this problem will always exist regardless of whether it is a period of war or prosperity.

Don't think that there will be no unemployment in prosperous times. People's needs are different in different periods. Sometimes unemployment is caused by the lack of jobs due to war, and sometimes unemployment is caused by oversaturation. You alone don't make a difference at all.

This is a good way to reduce the unemployment rate, and according to Lord Blood Demon, this method is effective immediately. How could they not be interested?

However, Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island still frowned slightly. She subconsciously felt that the suggestion made by Lord Blood Demon could not be a good thing.

And sure enough, just when Kal'tsit was thinking about the worst case scenario, the Blood Demon Lord in the play told everyone without hesitation, in the shortest words, the method that no one dared to think of to "solve" the unemployment rate.

“As long as social security is not paid to those who have rejected two job opportunities.”

"There are some unemployed people in the North, but there are lazy people everywhere in the South. A large number of people live on welfare and housing subsidies as soon as they graduate from college, and they also make a lot of extra money secretly!"

The words of Lord Blood Demon can be said to be to the point and can be said to be quite "efficient", and this policy can undoubtedly solve the unemployment rate, because behind it are consequences that the people cannot afford.

Without social security, the future lives of a large number of people in old age will not be guaranteed. If you reject a job offer the first time, you will not be able to reject it the second time. Then, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the job offer, you will be unlikely to reject it.

This does solve the employment rate problem, but it can be said that with some deliberate arrangements for the second employment, a large number of positions that some people are unwilling to go to can be filled. However, this is a strategy that does not take people's ideas seriously at all. It is effective, but very dangerous.

This is something that no government dares to do, not even a dictatorship dares to use this method to reduce unemployment. However, the Blood Demon Lord did not care at all about the weight of his previous speech, and continued to express his own views:

"Most employers complain about a lack of staff, but when you hire street sweepers or dishwashers, these people run away without even calling them 'parasites'."

"Honestly, unemployment is only going to keep climbing higher as long as the country keeps spending money on Social Security."

“And no politician has the courage to change the status quo.”

"——It would be better if you recorded this on the show."

"That's not true."

However, while Ludwick was still teasing the Blood Demon Lord, as the camera zoomed out, the master tape that was still in operation, symbolizing that the Blood Demon Lord's words had been recorded word for word...

"This time... Humphrey has really made a big mess."

However, this time it could be said to be a fatal mistake, and even the knowledgeable Wei Yanwu could not help but smack his lips. He subconsciously did not mention the Blood Demon Lord's proposal to reduce the unemployment rate. He did not dare to think about what would happen if he did so, and he did not want to know what would happen if he did so.

But now, Wei Yanwu can understand that if such words were to be released, not to mention Humphrey, Victoria in the play would probably be hit by a major earthquake. If this episode is the finale, Humphrey can be said to be "dead" this time.
