Blackstone Code Chapter 777: Leopard
As soon as Lynch opened his mouth, His Majesty the Emperor could not continue.
The main reason for the lack of development in Ameria Province is that the nobles are unwilling to go there. On the one hand, Ameria Province is a "concession", and there is no permanent concession in this world for more than a hundred years. statement.
No matter how long the lease term of the concession is, the concession must be returned when the time is up.
In other words, if the nobles invested a lot of money in the development of this area in the province of Anmeria, then in one hundred and twenty years, this development may surpass the island of Gavra in economic terms Once the area expires, it will be returned to its "original owner"
So many years of time, energy, and wealth will eventually be cheaply given to others, and it is still Gefra's hostile country, which is simply to fund the enemy.
When this area is taken back by the original owner, is it possible that they will treat Gafra's nobles and merchants favorably?
Impossible, they are thankful for not arresting the nobles of Gafra, at least they will expel them anyway.
This also means that the 120 years of hard work of the Gevra nobles will be in vain. The assets of a noble family will eventually become someone else's property. How could they be interested in answering the call of His Majesty the Emperor, in the development over there?
Before this, there were also some sayings that Emperor Gafra did not intend to return this land, and they would definitely take the entire country when the next war broke out, as an outpost for Gafra to conquer the world.
The problem is that so far people have not seen any hope. To conquer a continental country, the invader must first have a strong army.
Gavra's army...it would be good if they didn't invade them. The nobles didn't think the emperor's words would come true.
This is not pessimism, just fact.
Secondly, once the province of Amélia develops, the status of the island of Gavra becomes awkward.
The families of the nobles are all on the island, with a huge area of land, beautiful villas, and fortified castles...
There are also various valuable real estates. The wealth accumulated in these eras is firmly bound to the island in various forms.
Once the Anmelia province develops better than the island, the wealth of the nobles will shrink by half in an instant, because the shift in the center of wealth and power will lead to the gradual decline of the island.
How could the nobles be able to facilitate such a thing?
After 120 years of development, while giving the wealth of these years to hostile countries, in the process, they continue to shave their own scalps for blood transfusions in the province of Ameria. It is impossible for the nobles to do this.
Everyone knows that developing Anmeria Province is the only way to get out of the "distressed island" at present, but under the trend of interests, people are still reluctant to follow His Majesty's request to go to Ameria Province to develop as much as possible.
There are issues of unshakable principles and bottom lines.
Even today, there are very few nobles developing in Anmelia Province. Except for some officials who work there, other nobles are unwilling to go.
For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor has broken his head. He is always thinking about how to "drive" the nobles away. He even proposed the idea of relocating the palace to the province of Amelia, but still No progress has been made.
Lynch's words at this time made him see a hope.
This is the case with everything, from children learning to walk, to knight apprentices picking up their swords for the first time, whatever it is, there is a first, crucial first step from ignorance.
His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment. He looked at Lynch, weighing some options in his heart. Occasionally he would lower his head, or look elsewhere, so as not to let Lynch stare into his eyes for too long and expose his idea.
To this day, he no longer sees Lynch as a young man.
He just talked to the Prime Minister about taking down Lynch's "opportunists" to appease the entire market, but he didn't expect Lynch to come up with another idea first.
This idea is tempting.
Honestly.
Compared to meeting the shortfalls of some financial investors, the development of the country is obviously more important. One is the joys and sorrows of the common people, and the other is the inevitable path of the rise of the empire. How to choose, His Majesty the Emperor is still very clear.
His hesitation now is just to create an illusion for Lynch - I really want to agree, but it's not easy, even if I agree, it's very reluctant.
Lynch watched His Majesty the Emperor's performance, and he had already made up his mind.
According to the script, at this time, Lynch should put forward further conditions to impress him. This is what the overweight means.
One is not enough, one more.
But Lynch didn't show anything at all. His Majesty the Emperor told himself not to be angry. This was Lynch's strategy, but he always couldn't help being a little annoyed.
He glared at Lynch, who raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Your Majesty, we discussed it before, among our investments, we will give about 30% of the jobs to the people of the island. ."
"The salary will be a little bit higher than the average salary, maybe that will shut some people up, don't you think?"
His Majesty the Emperor didn't understand what Lynch meant at first, but it didn't take long for him to understand that his expression was a little weird.
"You want those parade people to go to Amelia to work for you?", the emperor said in a high tone, "Ha, that's funny, Lynch."
"I'm not accusing anything, it's just that you took their money and made them work for you...Are all federal people as shameless and greedy as you are?"
In the face of His Majesty's "accusation" Lynch's face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but with a sincere smile, "Your Majesty, you may not be clear, shameless, greedy, these words are not for people like us. It's more like a compliment."
"You may have heard of a shameless and greedy businessman, but you have never heard of a benevolent businessman."
"We praise warriors with courage and sages with wisdom. These are their exclusive praises, and they are no different from shamelessness and greed."
Lynch's point of view is very strange. His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, it is definitely not a compliment to describe a sage as "martial".
It's just Lynch's attitude that makes the emperor very emotional. He won't fluctuate his emotions because of other people's opinions, and he won't be happy, sad or angry because of things that have nothing to do with him.
Even if he doesn't like Lynch, he has to admit it, Lynch is excellent.
"Talk about other ideas..." His Majesty the Emperor got serious, he picked up the pen, ready to write and draw at any time.
Lynch knew that he had succeeded in impressing His Majesty the Emperor. He smiled and stood up, "It is an honor, Your Majesty."
"In my plan, a large number of factories, especially light industry and processing industry, can accommodate a large number of jobs without the need for a high threshold, which will be very good for stabilizing the law and order in Amelia Province. help."
"More importantly, if we can provide less prejudiced jobs to the locals, we can also defuse the hatred between Gafra and the locals."
"No matter how we cover up, at least some issues cannot be covered up, such as massacres..."
The emperor frowned when he heard this. He interrupted Lynch, "It wasn't a massacre, it was just an orderly execution of some criminals."
Lynch smiled and didn't argue. Everyone knew whether it was a massacre. Carloads of people were transported to the execution ground, then killed in batches, and then sent to landfill or burned outside the city.
Until now, the ground in the center of some cities, the soil between the cracks between the bricks is dark red or black, all soaked with blood, even if it rains a few times, dozens of rains will not change it. s color.
Lynch said this, not to provoke His Majesty the Emperor, but to remind him.
Remind him that the current stable rule is not a friendly and friendly relationship, and there is still an unresolved hatred. What the Gafra Empire needs to do is not to rekindle the conflict, but to find a way to resolve it.
It is obviously a good way to let people have a stable life and improve their quality of life.
In Lynch's description, education, employment, and a relatively free environment, which are completely different from Gavra's native policies, will affect the people.
The example of Lynch and other nobles can also impress some nobles who are watching. Not all nobles have a profound background, and there will always be some like the little nobles around Lynch. The time for the family to be born is still very short. .
They are more gambling and more willing to try than traditional nobles.
At least they don't have much chance to develop in their homeland. The resources here are all occupied by old-fashioned nobles. If they want to develop, they can only go to Ameria province~IndoMTL.com~Lynch's plan It's not complicated, nor is there anything pretentious about it, it's just that simple.
After listening, His Majesty the Emperor pondered back and forth for a while. He felt that Lynch's plan was still very executable.
The most important thing is that he and his group of friends are willing to spend all this money on the development and reconstruction of the province of Ameria, which is very important.
Speaking of the end, His Majesty the Emperor has roughly understood all of Lynch's thoughts, and there is a lot of content written on the paper in front of him, which is reserved for discussion with other ministers.
At the end of the conversation between the two, His Majesty the Emperor asked a question, "I already know what you said. Do you have any requirements?"
"For example, you need some policy support, tax exemption, or something like that."
"If there is, say so and we'll discuss it together later so that it doesn't take too long."
Lynch nodded, "I really have a small request..."
