"I want Renus's engineering team to build a private train station on the outskirts of the Wailing Forest as quickly as possible, and there must be a special train in the train station!"

Donald's first request at the internal meeting sounded unrelated to changing the status quo in Reynas.

"You're going to develop the Howling Forest......? I don't think that's a good idea. ”

Huxley immediately guessed Donald's request, but thought it didn't mean agreeing.

It is true that according to the laws of the Lane Empire, the nobles have the right to exploit some of the ownerless resources in the area under their control, although the city of Renus controlled by Sewvett Talos does not cover the Howling Forest, but at the same time, no other nobles' territory includes this forest, after all, it is too big.

This means that although the Howling Forest is currently land belonging to the Imperial Government, it is also an ownerless resource to some extent, after all, the Imperial Government has never thought about it and has no opportunity to develop it.

Huxley admits that the Howling Forest, an area larger than the entire city of Renas, is rich in timber and other resources, and that if it can be exploited, it can create a large number of jobs in a short period of time and stimulate the development of certain industries at a very rapid rate.

And with Donald's current status, if you want to develop the Howling Forest, you don't need to ask anyone's consent, if you have special resources, then report to the Earl family here in East Germany, just go through the process.

But it's not for nothing that no one dares to develop the Howling Forest for so long, and the legends and adventures in this forest are enough to prove that this forest is protected by some mysterious force.

How easy is it to develop it?

Not to mention the fact that the construction of a private railway station, the laying of railroad tracks, etc., requires a lot of money, and with the current financial situation of the city of Renas, if you invest money in it, the city may be in a difficult situation.

In case after it is built, it is found that the interior of the Howling Forest cannot be developed at all, and the money will be completely wasted, and it will not be able to recover the original at all, which is a huge loss in translation!

"Don't dare to say anything else, I know better than any of you about the situation in the Howling Forest, it will become the biggest capital for Renus to turn over, and you just need to cooperate with me. ”

If you don't even know your real home base, Donald can't think of what else he can know, the resources that the forest has accumulated over the years are all real existence, and what is lacking is only targeted development!

"Naturally, your opinion prevails. ”

Huxley glanced at the few people next to him, only Victor had the same doubts on his face, and the others all took this seemingly unrealistic decision for granted, which made him quickly realize something, and his expression was a little strange and made a brief note in his notebook, no longer having any rebuttal.

"The next most important thing is the people's livelihood, just the two I said at the meeting are obviously not enough, I need a practical plan to improve the people's sense of belonging to the city of Renas in a short period of time, instead of being hostile to the Renas government like the enemy like now, which will cause great resistance to our next plan. ”

Donald's eyes were on Victor as he said this, and he knew that Victor had been pondering this for the past two years, and now was the time for him to show his strength.

Reform must win hearts and minds, and if the people do not trust the government at all, no matter how much effort they make, it will be in vain.

What's more, Reynas is now in a situation where it may collapse at any time, and it is unrealistic to say that policies are used to force people to change.

Donald didn't want the reforms to start before they began, and the people at the bottom would give themselves a big riot first, and Renus couldn't afford that kind of consequences.

"I refer to the current situation of many first-tier cities in the Lane Empire, and I think it is completely feasible to follow those city laws that have been tested by the people in terms of system, and I have recently sorted out a part of the plan, the first thing to reduce is to collect various taxes on Renas City, and then improve the treatment of the people...... I understand that Renas cannot be compared with those prosperous cities in all aspects, and it is impossible to immediately follow their welfare system, so my idea is to temporarily change and improve within a certain range, and the current people of Renas are actually at the bottom, and their expectations for the government are very low, and any change that is beneficial to them can get a good response in a short period of time......"

Victor glanced at Donald's expression every time he said two words, although there had been an agreement between them, but after learning that these people had actually destroyed all the guards around Sewvett Talos except the butler and killed them and replaced them, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in the face of the new Sewvett Talos in front of him,

Therefore, now he only dares to pick some of his own plans that are more gentle on the capitalists and nobles in Renas City, and he is afraid that the other party will suddenly renege and terminate the contract.

After all, they have changed from challengers to vested interests, and the difference in position will naturally change their thinking.

"Victor, your plan is too conservative, I want drastic reforms, do you understand?"

Donald listened for a while and found that Victor's proposals were all innocuous plans, and knew that he had some scruples, so he took the initiative to say,

"There are still too many evils and cancers in Renas now, I don't have so much time to waste with them, now that several notorious families in Renas have been wiped out by me, and the government is under my control, from tomorrow I will order them in the name of the mayor to cooperate with our reforms, what I need is a bold enough plan, because I am determined to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of Renas in the shortest possible time. ”

In Donald's view, as long as reform begins, it will never be a harmonious situation of hello, hello, everyone, and there must be sacrifices by one or more parties.....

Donald didn't want to sacrifice himself, so he naturally had to find a way to sacrifice others.

"I see, please give me two days, and I'll give you a new plan. ”

Victor clenched the pen in his hand with some excitement, he had been preparing for so long in Reynas, wasn't it just such an opportunity?

Now that the opportunity is in front of him, what is there to hesitate about?

"Huxley, speaking of the families we destroyed before, have their assets been collected?"

Donald asked, as if suddenly remembering something.

"I have confiscated all the ownerless property in the name of the government, and the inventory has not yet been completed, and it seems that the amount is quite large, and those families hold nearly 30% of the wealth of Renas......"

These are the core families attached to the former Sewit Taros, and to put it bluntly, they are the most powerful family under the Talos family in Renas, and large-scale grabbing of social resources is inevitable.

It's just that now they're all owned by Donald, and in a sense, they're all back to their rightful owners, after all, the entire city of Renas belongs to him.

"All the gold pounds or other non-fixed property stored in their warehouses will be invested in the construction of the city in the future, and as for the factories and other miscellaneous shops under the names of these families, they will all be incorporated into my name, and they will be organized into a large company, and the reform will start here!"

In the past, Sewit Taros must have gathered that wealth in his own hands and refused to leak any of it, but now Donald's idea is exactly the opposite of him, since he has decided to build Renas as another base camp in addition to the Howling Forest, then it is worth the amount of money!

Huxley looked at the young man sitting in front of him who was spending money and high spirits, and he once again realized the courage and confidence that the other party no longer conveyed. 、

Donald's approach is very similar to the plan he had privately considered, except that it could not be realized at the time because of Sewit Taros's obstruction, and now it is "Sewvett Taros" who fully supports ideas that sounded undoubtedly to the detriment of his predecessor.

"A very wise decision. ”

Listening to the other party's firm tone of explaining his thoughts, Huxley pursed his lips, and finally whispered to himself.
