Chapter 396: The Choice of Heirs

"And what did Lord Oshalia say?"

Sean remembered this man, he was the head of all the commanders, and the position was equivalent to the rank of generalissimo of Zambutar Nation.

The commanders of the entire Jagon military headquarters except for the Imperial Forest Army are under his jurisdiction and have a very high status.

He must have belonged to one of the important ministers of Jagon.

However, Sean and the other party did not lift much, and only met a few times in the main hall.

"Lord Oshalia feels that this kind of artillery fire should equip the army, not only to increase the combat effectiveness of Jagon, but also to raise our army to the same industrial level as other regions in a short time. ”

This so-called other area is probably the Borg.

Even in the surrounding countries, there is no similar one, and only the Borgs are very strong in the Zambutar region, and Jagon's army should have seen the strength of the last battle with the other side.

"And what do the other ministers say?"

"The other ministers disagreed, some opposed and some agreed. Among the opponents are mainly some ministers who maintain stability, and since Jagon's military spending also supports many suppliers, if the traditional center of gravity is reversed, many people may not be able to eat. Lubin said.

This is something that Sean hadn't paid much attention to before.

After saying this, I realized that the composition of the army is also an important opening for the state to use its finances.

Taxes collected from the people and merchants were used to build the country...... Whether it's the benefits that are given out or the formation of an army, it consumes money.

In this way, the money will go back to the merchants and then to the workers.

There is a little bit of a redistribution of wealth.

The traditional Jagon army was formed with many cooperative builders and military factories, but if it was replaced with new weapons, many manufacturers would not be able to compete for it, so almost all the money went into the hands of Claude and them, which meant that others lost their jobs a little.

And the technology can't keep up with Claude's side.

When he thought of this, Sean suddenly felt that Claude's previous statement that someone entered the factory and peeked at the factory might not be the result of the nobleman, but the result of those merchants who could not compete with each other in advance.

Therefore, they advocated continuing to maintain the original arms procurement, and only purchased some more artillery. Lubin said.

"That's not right!"

After listening to the other party's words, Sean suddenly spoke against it.

Mi'er and Illya are all around, of course Illya can't understand it, but Mi'er still has a certain understanding of national affairs, and even the children of the Lubin family wonder why Sean suddenly denied it.

"You're not right, Secretary Lubin, this doesn't seem to have much to do with the country. ”

It seems to make sense at first glance, but if you think about it a little bigger, it is completely nonsensical remarks, the market will choose freely, and it is a doomed fact that backward ways will eventually be eliminated.

Even if you don't open this opening yourself, someone will open it later.

It will not be so easy to solve when the southern continent begins to crush the sailing dreams of the Edaks with steel gunboats, and when the Borgs overcome the environment of the great desert and fight the oasis again.

Although it seems that all the money goes into Claude's own hands, he works for himself, and the other merchants will not allow this to happen forever, they will start to change for their own benefit, whether it is to study or steal teachers, more technology will be developed.

Claude is not a genius either, and there are not a few people who can have his strength, so more people will jump out.

It's just some of the conformists who are really defeated.

So in Sean's view, these excuses have nothing to do with the state!

does not constitute a ground for rebuttal......

"It seems that His Highness is indeed a reasonable person, yes. Many ministers also have their own interests in the network, and once they move, they will definitely fight for their things. ”

"And so it was. ”

"So the current Sun King hasn't given an answer to this matter, and I guess it will be mentioned in the future......"

One of the reasons why the Sun King did not give an answer should be the agreement with himself, when Sean went to the other party with his opinion, he said that his mother had also tried to change the industry of Jagon once, but it did not succeed at that time, because the interests in the middle were complicated.

And now it's yourself.

The Sun King allowed himself to do it, and now he has the same problem.

It's just that because this high-profile display has left an impression in the minds of many people, it may be difficult to oppose it, and now it has become a desire to merge.

"That's why I've come to you today, I hope that Imperial Secretary Lubin will be able to secure jurisdiction over some new factories for me in the Great Palace, and I'll figure it out myself in other respects. Sean said.

"Is His Royal Highness sure you're going to do this?"

Lubin thought about it for a few minutes before slowly answering.

"Hmm. ”

"Now that Your Highness has decided, of course I will be on the same side as you. Lubin stood up suddenly.

His wife, as well as his son and daughter, stood together at the same time.

"The Lubins are standing by Prince Sean's side at all times. ”

This time he used his name when he called himself, and Sean understood what it meant.

......

When he returned, it was Lubin who sent a carriage to take him back to the palace, and it was already evening when he arrived at the dormitory.

Illya was going to tell the kitchen to cook, while Mi'er stayed in the study with Sean......

Looking at the sand table map of the entire capital of Jagon.

The movement of the entire capital's residents can be seen......

"What do you think of Lubin's answer today?"

"What answer does Your Highness want to hear? The last time we met him was more than ten years ago, and at that time he was just an ordinary official, because of the promotion of the empress to discuss politics, otherwise he would not be qualified to enter the main hall. ”

“...... But it's also interesting to say, it's only been more than ten years that the other party has been able to climb to this position, I have to say that I have some ability. Although Mi'er doesn't speak ill of others directly, she is already reminding Sean.

A person who has gone so smoothly can imagine the means.

"But His Highness needs someone like Lord Lubin now. ”

"How?"

"Although His Highness does not admit it, he has actually entered the battle of heirs...... The emperors of the previous generation of Jagon recovered from the war, and now there is not even a prince, but now it is a time of peace, and the heir of Jagon is to a certain extent the future of Adak. ”

Mi'er turned around and said.

"That guy Lubin has been cautious for so many years, but at this time he chose to stand on His Highness's side, he is pressing the future of the Lubin family on His Highness. ”
