"These hateful nobles are starting to cause trouble for us one by one." Geese sat in his office, his face looking ugly as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Recently, his intelligence network has almost completely failed. The nobles who were originally bribed by him and were still willing to cooperate to a large extent have now adopted a submissive and submissive attitude towards him.
Many people suspect that Cyric was behind Fisherot's death. Although there is no direct evidence, suspicion does not require evidence.
Several parties that were originally suspected have proven their innocence with practical actions: Tang Mo directly helped the heir of the Luoning family gain a foothold, Susas also stood still, and the royal family of the Wright Kingdom even sent people to join the count.
's funeral.
After going around in circles like this, no one took any drastic actions. The most suspicious person was still the Cyric Consortium.
Everyone hates Fischereau and wants to kill him quickly. That is because everyone does not like the way Fischereau treats civilians. This method really hinders everyone from making money from the common people.
But assassinating nobles is definitely another matter - we are all of the same class, we can sit together and play together, but we can't play so dirty!
So everyone began to use passive cooperation to warn Cyric, asking him to restrain himself and not touch the fundamental interests of the aristocratic circle.
In the final analysis, although we are all working together, we cannot touch each other's fundamental interests. This is the bottom line!
"Sir, we have produced more than 5,000 new rifles. His Majesty the King has sent people to inquire several times, hoping that he can replace them with his troops as soon as possible!"
"Let him wait! My troops haven't changed their uniforms yet, why is he in a hurry?" When this matter was mentioned, Geese became angry.
He was the first to acquire the technology of needle guns, and also purchased a large amount of paper-cased custom-loaded ammunition from Tang Mo. As a result, most of these items were now sold to other countries by consortiums at high prices.
As a result, he had to obey the instructions of his superiors and carry out such orders that annoyed him. There was no way, he was just a person in charge and had no right to question the decisions above.
But in fact, in his plan, the Cyric forces in the Wright Kingdom should assemble their troops as soon as possible and equip them with new weapons to attack the disobedient Datang Group! As long as the Datang Group, technology and talents are defeated,
Doesn’t that mean you can have as much as you want?
As a result, in the face of huge interests, the senior executives of the Cyric Consortium finally chose to be a middleman, ruthlessly scooping up the wool of other countries.
These needle guns produced by Cyric were sold at a high price of 30 gold coins each. Therefore, of the 5,000 needle guns that Cyric's workshop worked overtime to produce, not a single one was left, they were all sold.
Lost.
As a result, the private army in Guis's hands is still training with flintlock rifles, and has not even touched a needle-fired gun a few times.
"Didn't the adults above say that...next month, we can keep part of it for ourselves." A subordinate quickly comforted him.
"Next month? Next month and next month! Our opponents are getting stronger day by day! And they will only miss our last chance!" Geese roared in anger.
He has been waiting here for almost three months. As time passes, Tang Mo is becoming stronger.
Datang Group has completely digested the Bunas area and is still connected to Beiling, making it even more difficult to deal with.
But they are still waiting now - even the army controlled by the king is said to have been equipped with K1 fast guns, but Cyric's own private army is still using outdated Cyric flintlocks.
How ridiculous is this scene?
Giss didn't even know that Tang Mo had deliberately slowed down the construction of troops on the road. Until now, Tang Mo's Datang Group security force had only maintained a size of less than 1,000 people.
Most of the weapons of this unit are still K1 needle guns, and there is no improvement. All this is because Tang Mo is building his own navy.
Jisi didn't know that Tang Mo was already focusing on Black Dragon Island, choosing a second base for himself, and preparing to open a branch mine there.
And he... was still working hard to produce the K1 needle gun, preparing for an "honest one-on-one contest" with Tang Mo. Moreover, for this contest, he had to wait... for three months.
More than a month has passed since the assassination of the Earl, and it is obvious that he will have to wait for another month or even three months. He will not be able to assemble his troops until the middle of the 114th year of the Wright Kingdom.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, sea salt from Bunas began to appear in large quantities in the royal city, and His Majesty the King began to repair his castle with cement.
Fabrics from Bunas can be seen everywhere on the market, as if there were as many textile mills there as hair on an ox. These fabrics were cheap and of high quality, and they were immediately sought after by people.
Similarly, there are many processed fur and wool products, and most of them flow out from the direction of Bunas.
Business in the entire kingdom seems to be more prosperous than in the past, and the king's taxes have actually increased. The longer Gis waits, the more he discovers that the price he may have to pay for taking action against Datang Group is getting bigger and bigger.
Time flies, and another two months have passed.
In the royal city of Susas, a door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man held a stack of documents and placed them on an old man's desk.
He was very careful and waited until the old man had finished reviewing the document he was processing before he reported: "Sir, all the documents have been sorted and processed."
"Ah... thank you so much." The old man rubbed his neck, and very tiredly took out another document from the young man: "Have you found anything?"
The young man walked behind the old man, helped the old man gently rub his shoulders, and replied softly: "There is a problem. We can reform the taxation of merchants. Lowering taxes can stimulate business circulation."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You and I thought of going together. This is the gentlest way to deal with it, and it will also allow us to win the support of businessmen." The old man nodded slightly with great satisfaction.
Then he seemed to remember something. While enjoying the young man's massage, he asked with his eyes closed: "The accuracy with which you deal with these problems makes me a little unbelievable. I heard that you are only 25 years old? Are you married?"
"My lord, not yet." The ring on the young man's ring finger exuded a soft glow under the light of the gas lamp. It was a lifelike dandelion.
"Come to my house tonight, I want to discuss with you the tax reform issues." The old man was very comfortable being massaged by the young man's skillful massage skills, and his voice was full of kindness: "I have a little granddaughter, you can talk to me
Tell her about your experience of studying in Dolennom, it must be quite exciting."
"As you command, my lord." The young man looked unfazed.
"Huh? Don't call me "sir" from now on. I see that you are diligent and studious and have good qualifications, so you can study with me... How about it?" The more the old man looked at this young subordinate, the more he liked him.
"Teacher!" The young man did not disappoint him, he bowed his head respectfully and changed his words.
"Hahahaha!" The old man laughed loudly with satisfaction: "Work harder! Maybe it won't be long before you have to call me by another name, hahaha!"
He liked this young man so much. Ever since this young man applied for a position in his prime minister's office, he had shown unparalleled strength.
To be honest, in the entire Susas King City, there are very few outstanding juniors like this young man, or there is no one at all.
This young man is decent and well-behaved. He comes to work on time every day and then works until late at night every day.
Soon the documents he handled caught the Prime Minister's attention, because the documents this young man handled were clearly organized and classified, and it was a pleasure to check the information he handled.
Then, the prime minister deliberately asked the young man to handle some government affairs that were beyond his job scope to test his ability.
As a result, this young man completed the task very well, and even exceeded it: he investigated the incident almost perfectly, and then submitted an investigation report that could be called a model.
As a result, before the one-month inspection period was over, the young man was transferred to the prime minister's side and began to act as the prime minister's assistant, doing secretary and other tasks.
Then, the prime minister discovered that this young man had gone to study in Dolennom, where the prime minister himself had studied.
The more they got to know each other, the more they became speculative. The prime minister even consulted the young man's opinion on the tax reform plan.
What surprised Susas's prime minister was that this young man's vision was quite high when it came to tax reform. He easily found the right direction and improved the prime minister's reform plan.
This young man's calculation ability is amazing. He can easily obtain some complex calculation results by just writing and drawing on paper.
What is even more shocking is that because of his sensitivity to numbers, this young man can even take a cursory look at the account books and find corruption or fraud.
Things developed naturally like this. The more the prime minister looked at this young man, the more he liked him, and he even considered marrying his granddaughter to him.
Although he has not told this idea to his son who dislikes poverty and loves wealth and has accomplished nothing, he has indeed had this idea in mind.
After all, marrying your granddaughter to a nobleman cannot continue your political ambitions, but finding a successor who shares your beliefs may be a more reliable plan.
Although this young man is not a noble, but... nobles can be cultivated, right? Especially when you are a prime minister, it seems that it is not difficult to cultivate a noble.
