Chapter 633: The Prince's Forces
Sean didn't do much for the next few days, spending most of his time in the palace waiting for news from elsewhere.
Only on the third day did he personally go to the main hall to participate in the discussion of the covenant with the Kesselk......
There are not many things that need to be more serious in the agreement between himself and the other party, almost all of them are measures to benefit the people in the two places, but some people have different attitudes in intermarriage, but this voice was suppressed for a long time.
Cities along the coast of Jagon have been intermarrying with coastal Kesselk for many years, and it makes no sense to speak out against them now.
At most, he put forward his own opinion, arguing that official approval is not advisable, but he has not been able to produce favorable evidence.
Compared to the tension between the two countries, some people-to-people exchanges are nothing......
However, Sean paid special attention to the minister who raised a different opinion, his name is Brown Evely, and he belongs to one of the imperial ministers like Lubin, and the place under his jurisdiction is the promotion convenience of the academy, and the power may be smaller than that of the others, but considering that the academy is the birthplace of future talents, his status feels bigger.
The functioning of a country is multifaceted, and a single piece does not compare what is important and unimportant......
Maybe more people think that the military, food, clothing, and housing are the most important, but I don't say anything about this.
However, for the state, every place under the administration of the Imperial Minister is indispensable.
The other party's name is Brown Evely, Sean silently wrote down this name, and he didn't show it before, but now that he is back, his power is gradually growing, and these people are beginning to be biased, and it is easier to see which side of the person is falling.
Aside from the matter of the Covenant of the Kselk Empire, Sean rarely participated in other discussions, and although the Sun King always asked that he be able to go to the main hall to hear the development of the country in person, Sean always refused on the grounds that he wanted to concentrate on the study of industry.
The Sun King is also a wise politician, and Win can see what Sean has in mind......
After several successive invitations to participate in politics to no avail, he did not ask for any more, but heard that his two younger siblings had recently become more active.
Almost all of the time is spent in the main hall.
When they offered to lead an expedition against pirates themselves, they were busy pacifying the place...... This is the time when the Ketugea incident attracted the alien monsters, which affected several surrounding cities, and Mudan and Seria were each responsible for the reconstruction of a place.
And now they're concentrating on it.
It can be seen that the news of the victory brought by his return has been a big blow to their morale, and now they are fully engaged in the strategy of winning the hearts of the people and finding opportunities to balance themselves.
As for Sean, when he doesn't go to the main hall these days, he always goes to the industrial area outside the capital to have a look.
Claude spent several months developing some industrial products into civilian use, and to a certain extent, gained a lot of market ownership, but the residents of Jagon were still relatively conservative in their thinking, and they were not very receptive to new things.
It is said that only the houses in the city like to buy some mechanical tools made by Claude, and the most popular ones are actually children's toy cars, which are actually similar to bicycles, but they are three-wheeled and a little smaller, and they were originally some of the opinions that Sean gave him.
Sold after being improved......
Sales are not bad, but they do not contribute much to the overall situation.
The main thing is that these toy cars are also cheap.
In Claude's blueprint, the most important thing is that the entire city army can use his artillery and guns, but the nobles can also play with it, so that the bullets will be sold in the future.
Although Claude's Skovey family is not a famous family, but it is also in the arms business, after taking care of the large price, I feel that those civilian small money does not seem to have a sense of achievement, and the income of a few gold coins and a dozen gold coins is too low, although the amount is large, it is too low!
For such a result, Sean did not expect it before.
But I can only say, don't worry.
There's always a process......
Claude is still connected to the Skovey factory in Oro City, which is now headed by his sister Esmeda.
Compared to his predicament in the capital of Jiagon, the city of Aoluo has developed in an orderly manner, and in the past few months, he has paid more and more taxes to himself every time, even exceeding several times the income of his prince.
Since he had previously told the Sun King that Oro City was his own city, and that he wanted to keep the taxes there for his own expenses, the Sun King agreed.
Due to the special reasons of the previous generation of Jagon, there was no prince, and the area that the royal family could have controlled separately was completely concentrated in the hands of the imperial city, and several princes and princesses could choose a place to manage.
Therefore, it is not difficult to want a city on your own.
But Sean only asked for the city of Oro, because it was the place where he developed.
"Brother Sean, I always feel that if we continue like this, we will lose the market. Claude voiced his concerns.
"Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"It's a bit difficult, I think I can put it in the rest of the cities and use their lords as a promotion, so that it will be easier to sell. Claude said.
"It's easy to say, but I'm going to send it to the other lords in person, even if it's in the form of letters, it will attract the attention of the entire imperial city, and when the time comes, there is a suspicion of winning people's hearts, my two younger brothers and sisters only dare to do it in private, if I do it publicly, then the imperial city will be interesting!"
"Then I'll have to get out of the mercenary group!" Claude said.
If the official can't do it, then it's still private.
Claude was confident when he first arrived in Jagon, but after a few months of trying to figure it out, he realized that the Snake was still powerful, and that his main competitors were those from the Imperial Army, as they had also built an arsenal to compete with him in weapons.
Claude is not a genius who has not been met in a century, and there will be mistakes, and the Imperial Military Department has money and people, and the complete imperial recruitment system is also a headache here.
"Well, I'll let the Survey Corps help you too, we can't lose in business, we can only do anything else when we have money. ”
Claude, who was born as a merchant, certainly understands the truth.
Speaking of the Survey Corps, Sean still doesn't know what happened to Barnier, and the two prisoners of the original Revolutionary Army were also handed over to them for interrogation.
Sean wanted to ask about the last whereabouts of the waxy faces that had made them assassinate him and what he had said to them......
It's been a few days, and there's been no news.
Those people won't be lazy again!
