The narrator tells us that the evidence against the beichens could be false, and that it is a "capital crime of treason" for a family to support troops privately. This is because the family has a very large business, but it is not strong enough for a private army to be raised. The narrator also tells us about the copper-gold ore vein, which the family discovered in the barracks. This ore vein is rich in copper and gold, and the family built the barracks on this vein. The referendum is over, and now the president has to execute his plan.
