Chapter 427: A Little Festival
When Leo walked out of this secret room, Lin Ye had already made a decision, if it was just an infighting between several princes, he could watch from the wall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But now that Wendy is involved, he can't sit still anymore, and now the development of the Far East has encountered a bottleneck.
The continuous infighting in the empire delayed the opening of inland markets, and as the industrial population of the Far East increased.
With the continuous expansion of productivity, under the premise that the market cannot be effectively opened, it will fall into the dilemma of unsalable goods, which is a big problem.
In Lin Ye's cognition, during the period of capitalist development, many tragic wars broke out due to the supply and demand problems of the market.
In fact, even the crux of the two world wars was the transformation of economic crises into social contradictions, which was the inevitable result of economic development.
Because when the economy enters the stage of high-speed prosperity, everything is a thriving scene, and everything is fine.
But the motion of everything runs in a parabolic line, there is a vertex, after which it begins to decline, and the same is true of the economy.
Once the economy has passed the boom period and begins to decline, it will bring a series of chain effects, including unemployment, overproduction, inflation, loss of purchasing power, and the growth of social discontent, in which case the authorities have no way to solve the problem at the economic level.
They can only deflect social contradictions and provoke external conflicts, and careerists have also seized this opportunity and have appeared on the scene.
As long as the economy exists, this problem cannot be bypassed, and capitalism only acts as an accelerator.
Now the germination of capitalism in the Far East, and the rapid development of the surface under the forcible pulling of seedlings by the forest leaves, is a very good situation.
But in fact, this is an unhealthy and abnormal development, and Lin Ye deeply knows that once the market development reaches an impasse, the hidden contradictions will erupt.
Although he had long been prepared for war, in fact the Far East had been actively preparing for war for several years, with steel furnaces and munitions factories working around the clock, soldiers undergoing rigorous and brutal training, and war games with the most elite regiments of the empire as imaginary enemies.
But if it were now, it would still be more sudden than he expected, and under normal circumstances, there should be a buffer period of two to three years.
In this time, it was enough time for him to build a large navy, and he would surely build an invincible fleet on the sea.
Although the Far East is not threatened now, he can still stand on the sidelines and obtain a period of peace and stability for two years.
But now that the Rose family is facing a threat from the royal capital, he can't sit idly by no matter what, and in this difficult time, he must make a decision, and this decision will inevitably affect the situation of the entire empire and even the continent!
"My lord, I just saw His Highness Leo leave, do you need to send someone to chase him back?" Gatlin waited in the corridor for Lin Ye to come out.
In the distance was the back of Leo leaving, the man who was supposed to sit on the throne to be crowned, his heroic back looking a little lonely and sad.
"He has no ambition to enter the world, and is determined to travel to the continents, and I am afraid that he will not have any more contact with us. ”
Lin Ye shook his head, in the eyes of others, Leo may be running away, but he admires this man very much, it is more difficult to give up than to fight.
"But while you were meeting with His Highness Leo, a messenger came, and perhaps this messenger will change your mind. Gatling said softly.
He originally wanted to take it upon himself to detain Leo, but decided to give up after weighing it.
Because he served a very decisive man, although now the Duke of the Far East is basically in a state of decentralization.
If it were someone else, I was afraid that they would take this opportunity to cultivate their own power and install their cronies in key departments.
But Gatling knew the importance of this young man to the Far East, whether it was an orc or a steppe dweller, he was like a totem.
In the face of such great prestige, he only needs to raise his arms, and no one in the Far East will dare to oppose him at all.
And this young man showed a calmness that was extremely inconsistent with his age, and as a person with the strength of a prime minister, he would never do stupid things that added to the snake.
"Messenger, what messenger?" Lin Ye frowned, he had just sent Leo away, and it seemed that some incredible characters had arrived.
The Far East, which was originally regarded by the aristocracy as a poor rural area where birds don't poop, has also unwittingly become the focus of attention from many parties.
"A messenger from the royal capital, and you will be familiar with this messenger. Gatlin's expression was heavy, and the word Wang Du alone carried great weight.
Although he and Leo have a fairly good personal relationship, each has its own master, each has its own agenda, and he weighs the interests of the Far East in his mind.
"On the royal side, was it someone sent by Rhaegar so fast? Did you chase Leo all the way, or did you calculate that Leo would come to the Far East after the defeat, so you want me to hand over Leo? There are only a few messengers I know, could it be...... Lord Wallis, huh?"
Lin Ye's heart moved, and the appearance of the palace steward appeared in his mind, he should have been the confidant of the former emperor Raymond.
After Rhaegar became emperor, Wallis remained in the court to serve the royal family, speaking of the time when he was brought to the palace to meet Raymond.
It was Wallis who reported the news, but at that time he was a step too late, and he was still taken to the lonely castle, and almost became a sacrifice.
"Maybe it's both? So after knowing that His Highness Rhaegar sent someone to the Far East and that His Highness Leo could become a very important bargaining chip, did you decide to let His Highness Leo go? Gatlin reminded solemnly.
This is his duty as a political officer, and if Leo is handed over to Rhaeggar, it will inevitably cause Rhaegar a piece of his heart.
This allows the Far East to gain more time for development, and time is everything in a very unstable situation.
"Of course, we in the Far East don't have to rely on this means to gain strategic advantage, and I don't remember recognizing that Rhaegar is the new emperor. ”
Lin Ye vetoed Gatlin's proposal, after all, Gatlin didn't know what he had to say to Leo.
I don't know the amazing fact that Rhaegar is not of royal blood, in this case, Lin Ye has multiple choices in his hands.
"What do you mean...... sir," Gatlin looked at him in surprise, wondering what the young man was going to decide.
"Let's go meet the long-lost Lord Wallis first, there are some things I still have to ask him to verify, as for Rhaegar......"
Lin Ye paused when he said this.
"I still have a little bit of a holiday with him. He looked out the window at the south sky, and it was just right.
