Chapter 777 Leopard
As soon as Lynch opened his mouth, His Majesty the Emperor was unable to continue speaking.

The main reason for the lack of development in the province of Ameria is that the nobles are unwilling to go there. On the one hand, the province of Ameria is a "concession". In this world, there is no such thing as a permanent concession for more than 100 years.

No matter how long the lease period of the concession is, it must be returned to the concession when the time is up.

In other words, if the nobles have invested a lot of money in the development of this area in the province of Ameria, then after 120 years, when this area develops, it may surpass the island of Geflaben in terms of economy. to be returned to its "original owner"

So many years of time, energy, and wealth will eventually be given to others cheaply, and it is still a hostile country of Gefra, which is simply capitalizing on the enemy.

After this area is taken back by the original owner country, is it possible that they will give preferential treatment to the nobles and merchants of Gefra?

Impossible thing, they are thankful for not arresting the nobles of Gefra, at least they will expel the nobles anyway.

This also means that the 120 years of painstaking efforts of the Gefra nobles will be in vain. The assets that a noble family puts all their efforts into will eventually become someone else's property. How could they be interested in responding to His Majesty's call and developing there?

Before that, there were some rumors that Emperor Gefla did not intend to return this land, and they would definitely take the entire country completely when the next war broke out, and serve as an outpost for Gefla to conquer the world.

But the problem is that people have not seen any hope so far. To conquer a continental country, the aggressor must first have a strong army.

Gefra's army... it's good enough if they don't come to invade them. The nobles don't think that the emperor's words will ever come true.

This is not pessimism, just fact.

Secondly, once the province of Ameria develops, the status of Gefraben Island will become very embarrassing.

The families of the nobles are all on this island, with huge land, beautiful villas, and fortified castles...

There are also all kinds of valuable real estate. The wealth accumulated in these times is firmly bound to the island in various forms.

Once the development momentum of the province of Ameria is better than that of the main island, the wealth of the nobles will shrink by more than half in an instant, because the shift of wealth and power will lead to the gradual decline of the main island.

How could the nobles facilitate such a thing?

After 120 years of development, while donating the wealth of these years to the hostile country, in the process, they are constantly scalping their own scalps to transfuse the province of Ameria. It is impossible for the nobles to do this.

Everyone knows that developing the province of Ameria is the only way to get out of the "poor island". However, under the trend of interests, people are still unwilling to follow His Majesty's request to develop the province of Ameria as much as possible.

There are unshakable issues of principle and bottom line issues.

Even today, there are very few aristocrats developing in the province of Ameria. Except for some officials who have to go there, other aristocrats are unwilling to go there.

For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor was very troubled. He was always thinking of ways to "drive" the nobles over. He even proposed the idea of ​​moving the palace to the province of Ameria, but still did not get any results. improvement.

Lynch's words at this time gave him a hope.

This is true of everything, from children learning to walk to knight apprentices taking up their swords for the first time, whatever it is, there is a first step from ignorance, a crucial first step.

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment. He looked at Lynch, weighing some options in his mind. Occasionally, he would lower his head or look elsewhere, so as not to let Lynch stare into his eyes for too long and reveal his thoughts.

Today, he no longer treats Lynch as a young man.

He just talked with the Prime Minister about taking down Lynch and these "opportunists" to appease the entire market. Unexpectedly, Lynch proposed another idea first.

The line of thought is tempting.

Honestly.

Compared with satisfying the shortfalls of some financial investors, the development of the country is obviously more important. One is the joys and sorrows of the common people, and the other is the inevitable path for the rise of the empire. His Majesty the Emperor is still very clear about how to choose.

His hesitation now is just to create an illusion for Lynch - I really want to agree, but it is not easy, even if I agree, it is very reluctant.

Lynch watched His Majesty's performance, and he was already convinced in his heart, so he just watched, watched... Seeing His Majesty, he was a little ashamed and annoyed.

According to the script, Lynch should put forward further conditions to impress him at this time, which is what it means to increase the price.

If one is not enough, give another.

But Lynch didn't show at all. His Majesty told himself not to be angry. This was Lynch's strategy, but he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

He glared at Lynch, who raised his brows with a smile, "Your Majesty, we discussed it before. Among our investments, about 30.00% of the jobs will be given to the islanders."

"The salary will be a little higher than the average salary, maybe it will shut some people up, don't you think?"

His Majesty the Emperor didn't understand what Lynch meant at first, but he understood after a while. His expression was a little weird.

"You want those parade people to go to work for you in Amélia?" The emperor said in a high tone, "Ha, that's funny, Lynch."

"I'm not accusing you, it's just that you took their money and made them work for you...Are all federal people as shameless and greedy as you?"

Faced with His Majesty's "accusation", Lynch didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but instead had a sincere smile, "Your Majesty, you may not know, shameless, greedy, these words are more important to people like us. It's like a compliment."

"You may have heard of a shameless and greedy businessman, but you have never heard of a benevolent businessman."

"We praise warriors with bravery and sages with wisdom. These are their exclusive praises, which are no different from shamelessness and greed."

Lynch's point of view was very strange. His Majesty the Emperor thought about it for a while, and nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, if you use "martial courage" to describe a sage, it is definitely not a compliment.

It's just Lynch's attitude that makes the emperor very emotional. He will not fluctuate his emotions because of other people's opinions, and he will not be happy, sad or angry because of things that have nothing to do with him.

Even if he doesn't like Lynch, he has to admit this, Lynch is very good.

"Talk about other ideas..." His Majesty became serious, he picked up a pen, ready to write and draw at any time.

Lynch knew that he had succeeded in impressing His Majesty the Emperor, he smiled and stood up, "It's an honor, Your Majesty."

"In my plan, a large number of factories, especially light industry and processing industry, these factories that do not require too high a threshold can accommodate a large number of jobs, which will be very helpful to stabilize the law and order in the province of Ameria."

"More importantly, if we can provide less prejudiced jobs to the locals, we can also resolve the hatred between the Gefra people and the locals."

"No matter how we cover up, at least some issues cannot be covered up, such as massacres and the like..."

The emperor frowned when he heard this, and he interrupted Lynch, "That was not a massacre, but an orderly execution of some criminals."

Lynch smiled and didn't argue. Everyone knew whether it was a massacre. Carloads of people were transported to the execution ground, and then they were killed in batches before being sent to landfill or incineration outside the city.

Until now, the ground in the center of some cities, the soil between the gaps between the bricks is dark red or black, all soaked in blood, even if it rains a few times, dozens of times, it can't change its color.

Lynch said this not to provoke His Majesty the Emperor, but to remind him.

Remind him that the current stable rule is not a friendly relationship, and there is still unresolved hatred. What the Gefla Empire has to do is not to rekindle the conflict, but to find a way to resolve it.

It is obviously a good way to let people have a stable life and improve people's quality of life.

In Lynch's description, education, employment, and a relatively free environment, these policies that are completely different from Gafla's homeland will influence the people.

The example of Lynch and other nobles can also impress some nobles who are watching. Not all nobles have a deep background, and there will always be some like those little nobles around Lynch, whose family birth time is still very short.

They are more gamblers than traditional nobles, and they are more willing to try.

At least they don't have much chance of developing in their own country. The resources here are occupied by the old nobles. If they want to develop, they can only go to the province of Ameria.

Lynch's plan was not complicated at all, and there was nothing pretentious about it, it was just that simple.

After listening to His Majesty the Emperor, he pondered back and forth for a while, and he felt that Lynch's plan was still very feasible.

The most important thing is that he and his group of friends are willing to spend all the money on the development and reconstruction of the Ameria Province, which is very important.

When it came to the end, His Majesty the Emperor roughly understood all of Lynch's thoughts, and he also wrote a lot of content on the paper in front of him, and kept it for discussion with other ministers.

At the end of the conversation between the two, His Majesty the Emperor asked a question, "I have already understood what you said, do you have any request?"

"For example, you need some policy support, tax exemption, or something like that."

"If there is, say it, and we will discuss it together later, so as not to delay the time for too long."

Lynch nodded, "I really have a small request..."
