After all, Seris is already too wealthy. The city is now so huge that it is about to annex Fukou City! Such a huge city not only radiates the nearby economy, but also siphons off all surrounding areas.
Because they have to support Seris, the grassland areas closer to Seris have never developed their own economy. The only pillar industries that support the development of the grassland economy are agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism.
Similarly, in order to support the development of Serris, the Higgs region adjacent to Serris has also developed relatively slowly. It was relatively prosperous before with the support of the oil industry, but once the oil is exhausted, the regional economy will plummet.
This is why Higgs officials are lobbying hard, hoping that the empire will open a new economic growth point, that is, the space portal, in Higgs.
"I still think it's better to drive in the direction of Higgs. Speaking of magic crystal processing, Greken's magic crystal processing industry is also very developed, and it is supported by the westward railway, passing through the Elf Autonomous Region along the way.
In the Higgs area, and finally directly into Serris, there seem to be more areas to be revitalized, right?" Cruz, the Minister of Commerce, continued to say.
An official who supported Higgs also nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is worth sacrificing one Wallavo to promote the economic development of the entire western region!"
"If the portal is opened in Grecken, it can also drive the backward economy of the southwest region to develop together. The new puppet area can also develop some crystal companies, so that the national economic situation can be boosted." At this time,
An official with a Grecian background spoke.
Because the empire has been rising for almost nine years, during this long process which is not too long, the circle of officials has also become complicated.
This is an inevitable phenomenon. We all need more allies to gather for more interests and use this to influence His Majesty the Emperor's decision-making. After all, this is an empire, an empire where Chris sticks to his word!
Like the official in front of him, his sister-in-law is a magician from Grecken, and he himself has awakened to become a magician. He is naturally inclined to develop the empire's economy westward.
In addition, Grecken has always been an ally and collaborator of the empire, and the two sides have never had any unpleasant differences in the past. In terms of feelings, His Majesty the Emperor is also more inclined to Greken, and towards those in the south who have been fighting against the empire.
I don't like the area very much.
Of course, these are just personal feelings. Now that the southern region is also part of the empire, Chris cannot favor one over the other.
As soon as they heard that Grecken's supporters were involved, other officials started to take action.
An official who had been silent for a long time suggested: "It's better to place the portal directly in Doson! Doson can also consider it! If you choose Doson, it can radiate to the southeastern coastal areas that the deputy prime minister has been managing. It's okay.
Going north to use the powerful railway system to transport ore to Volavo, radiating the entire central region and southeastern coastal areas, can quickly restore the economically backward southeastern region."
"Are you kidding, Dotson? Let's just put it in Shakeben! Anyway, it's convenient for water transportation, and it's also the seat of Lord Alves. It's not a special zone, so we might as well give it a lot of support!"
An official from the south couldn't bear it anymore and finally gritted his teeth and ended up personally.
Many of the direct descendants representing various relationships in the empire have begun to fail, and it also means that the interest groups vying for this piece of cake have made their positions clear.
The relationship here is complicated, and many aspects must be considered carefully. Any choice may trigger a series of reactions.
For example, the magician group has always been eager to be forgiven by their emperor, and they have put in a lot of efforts recently. Many magicians have wasted their mental power and lost a large number of god puppets, just to support the empire in expanding the universe.
Emotions in this area must be taken care of, so if the location of the space portal chosen this time is too far from the magician's traditional sphere of influence, it will once again trigger worries within the magician.
They are afraid of losing the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and their status within the empire. Sometimes this worry can inspire the efforts of magicians, but sometimes it can easily cause dissatisfaction and anxiety among magicians.
Therefore, we must weigh, carefully weigh, and choose whether to take care of their emotions and how to take care of them, so as to satisfy the magicians without causing dissatisfaction with other forces.
Of course, in addition to the thoughts of the magicians, we must also consider the thoughts of the mortal group. The empire relies on mortals to rise, so the power of mortals has the greatest influence within the empire. If the emotions of mortals are not taken care of, hidden dangers will also be laid.
Today, the northeastern region, as the most fertile region in the empire, needs to inject new vitality to ensure its development. The southeastern region, which has been war-torn and in need of revitalization, also needs rapid economic revitalization.
Under such circumstances, there is indeed a good reason to choose the eastern region - the depletion of mineral resources in the Volavo region is an indisputable fact, and how to ensure the economy there is also a thorny issue.
Then, should we consider the ideas of other races? For example, the elves, dwarves, orcs... At least for now, these internal races are loyal, and their ideas should indeed be considered by the empire.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for this space portal to be opened in Selkes, the Elf Autonomous Region, or directly near the Ironforge of the Dwarves.
"Why don't we decide on an order, and no one will have to worry about it." Just as Chris was constantly calculating the trade-offs between these interests in his mind, Andrea spoke.
As the Grand Duke of the Elf Tribe, and also as Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Elanthir Empire, when she speaks at this moment, she not only represents the interests of the Elf Tribe and magicians, but also represents part of the royal family's views.
"Good idea, but who comes first and who comes last?" Des, as a mortal and a representative of the new aristocracy and large financial groups, looked at Emperor Chris when he asked.
"The dwarves don't fight about this. The dwarves think these things are too annoying." Sumolai looked careless, but he was mature. With his words, he removed the dwarves from this war of interests.
Anyway, there is no problem with the development of the traditional industry of the dwarves. Within a few decades, everyone will still have food to eat - why not eat? At this time, showing loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor is better than anything else!
