Mayor Stannis Gross's cousin is the current patriarch of the Gross family, and Mr. Gross is also one of the members of the parliament, so there is no reason why Stannis Gross should not know what is going on in the council.

"School...... Perhaps in the future there will be some breakthrough in Moravia than it is now. ”

The mayors of Moravia in the Gross family are capable men, and it stands to reason that Moravia has remained the same all these years, even if the situation here is very complicated.

The main reason for the current situation is still in the parliament, and for a hundred years, the major families have quarreled endlessly, and even assassinations have occurred for the sake of profit, and it is only natural that economic development will be clamped down because of this.

"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Gross has just received news that His Royal Highness Prince Ernst is likely to come to the city hall, and he hopes that you can prepare as soon as possible."

Get ready...... What else do I need to prepare?

Stanis Gross, who was just in front of the window, had already seen the carriage below, and no one was stupid, and Stanis Gross did not believe that Ernst did not know about his situation, so he must have expected that his cousin would report the news.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Stannis Gross led the way down, and the secretary also saw the scene outside the window, he looked a little flustered, after all, Ernst was not a good person to get along with.

Middle-aged, good-looking, and sharp-eyed should be a very capable person, and this was Ernst's first impression of Stannis Gross. Although it was a little rude to look at the other party in a daze, who would dare to say this about Ernst in Moravia now?

When Ernst observes Stannis Gross, Stannis Gross is also observing Ernst, but unlike Ernst's arrogant observation method, Stannis Gross is much more subtle and subtle.

At the same age as his daughter, he seemed to be immature and easy to get along, but Stannis Gross sensed Ernst's confidence and pride.

Maybe Ernst didn't realize it himself, and he still regarded himself as an ordinary young man in his previous life, but in fact, after several years of contamination, he has completely melted into this body with the ancient and noble royal blood of Europe.

There is a good proof that in the previous life, Ernst would panic, be nervous, be afraid, and be afraid in the face of the girl he liked, the unattainable big man! And now......

Emperor Franz, Archduke Ferdinand, Carl Franz, which of these people was not the most famous figure in Europe? Even Emperor Franz can be ranked in the top five in the European power rankings, but these figures, Ernst has always been treated with a normal heart, and even has some sympathy.

Was it history that gave Ernst the guts or something else? No one can find the answer, because it has no answers.

"To be honest, Moravia is not very good under your family's rule, at least not to the point where I am satisfied!"

Ernst was blunt, and Stannis Gross was not angry, because he understood what Ernst was saying, even if there were many reasons for it.

"The Gross family has done their best, many of the elders of our family are sick, similar to their posts, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst, many things you should understand that can not be achieved with hard work."

Stannis Gross's faint answer made Ernst laugh dumbly, but he couldn't help but argue! But this is also normal, after all, today in Moravia is the only thing that the Gross family can be proud of.

"I'm not denying anything, I agree with the ability of the Gross family, but what I just said is all true, you should do some review on this, the situation in Moravia is not a reason for you to shirk."

Stannis Gross no longer spoke and invited Ernst to the city hall, and seeing that the two were a little-for-tat, Stannis Gross's secretary was really worried.

He wasn't from an aristocratic background, he was just a slave who had just learned the basics, and he really didn't know where to go if Stannis Gross fell.

I believe that any new mayor does not like to use the secretary left by his predecessor! The saying that once a son of heaven and a courtier does not only apply to the East, but also to the West.

The city hall is nothing more than a small three-story building, with a reception hall on the first floor, a place for office workers on the second floor, and a temporary dormitory and archives on the third floor. Of course, Ernst didn't know what was going on, because he only went to Stannis Gross's office and didn't go anywhere else.

In front of the window, looking at the church next door, Ernst suddenly had some questions, he looked at Stannis Gross and asked seriously: "Have you ever thought about swapping churches?" ”

"Swap?"

Ernst's inquiry left Stannis Gross a little stunned, and he didn't understand what Ernst meant by the exchange.

"That's right, it's that you exchange working conditions with the clergy of the church, and I believe that the church will not refuse such a thing that is beneficial to the city."

No, no, no, the clergy of the church looked like they were asking for a debt, and now they couldn't wait to find a place to ask for more money, and it was really difficult to get them to come up with something.

Seeing Stannis Gross's appearance, Ernst knew what he was thinking, so he asked again: "Haven't you thought about these things?" ”

Stannis Gross nodded and replied, "I haven't thought about it. ”

"Then why don't you think it's right for the clergy to occupy such a lavish and palatial church?"

Stannis Gross did not dare to answer such guiding words, not because he believed in anything, but because he did not want to offend the church out of thin air, knowing that the church has a lot of influence in the local area.

Smiling lightly, Stannis Gross did not answer Ernst or reluctantly, looking at the bits and pieces of business below, Ernst couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have been to many places, there are Vienna, Rome, Florence, and many other places, but Moravia is the quietest city I have ever seen. ”

Quiet city ...... Is that a good word?

The answer is no, quietness means decline, loneliness, the lack of vitality in the city, and the lack of prosperity.

"There can be hundreds of thousands of human beings living here, but in the end there are only more than 30,000 people here, not to mention the vegetation for the time being, less than one-tenth of the land that can be developed, which is a dereliction of duty on the part of you, the mayor."

The aristocracy has very little territory, most of the land is still state-owned, and the personal land is only developed by tens or even a few percent, so it is needless to say that the state-owned land is not to mention.

Looking at Stannis Gross, who remained silent, Ernst continued: "If the municipality is willing to allow the Moravian Bank to be the only bank here, then I will agree to the sale of more than 30 tractors by the Moravian Agricultural Machinery Company to the Moravian government, and the purchase price can be paid by the Moravian bank. ”

Paying on your behalf? It's just a statement, after all, both the Moravian bank and the agricultural machinery company are wholly owned by Ernst.

There was no great excitement or resentment, and this was not a bad thing for Moravia, the main thing was ...... Will he be able to refuse?

"Lord Earl, Colonel Freud."

At this time, Bert's entry gave Stannis Gross a little buffer, but he also heard Bert's words, and looked at the door, who else was Colonel Floyd, who was not the Colonel Floyd who had a military rank but wanted to enter politics?

Ernst likewise looked out the door, and when he saw Ernst's gaze turning, Colonel Freud deliberately straightened up in respect.

Seeing this, Stannis Gross seemed to understand something, and he looked at Ernst with a somewhat different gaze, and the person in front of him may now really be called the Count of Moravia.
