"Committing to improving the gap between rich and poor has always been what we are doing." Desire sat at the head of the conference room and looked at the gorgeously dressed ministers sitting on both sides of the table.
The empire was founded by merchants, and many plutocrats and nobles gained their corresponding positions at the top of the empire.
And the profits these imperial ministers gained from the empire's policies were also the investments with the highest return rate in their lives.
However, it is obvious that these big tycoons, wealthy families, and aristocrats have no awareness of poverty alleviation.
The most they can do is, while squeezing the labor force and gaining more profits, they can also sprinkle some leftovers from their fingers so that the civilians who follow them can have a bite to eat.
"The average wage of workers in the richest region of the empire, the core region, has reached a record high of 119 gold coins a month!" Des tapped the report twice with his hand, looking very unhappy.
Sitting in the position of the Prime Minister of the Empire, he is only in his early 20s, and he looks too young no matter how he looks at it.
Being young enough to be looked down upon by a group of aristocrats and big capitalists present here is Desel's disadvantage. Of course, no one dares to be stupid enough to provoke this gentle young man. After all, the surname Longtate is very popular in Ireland.
Empire is definitely synonymous with "not to be messed with".
Sitting on Des' right hand is Gurlo, the veteran in charge of economics. This old man's health has been getting worse and worse recently. He often needs to take leave and spends one-third of his time either in the hospital or resting at home.
However, because the old man's skills are really powerful, the economic situation of Ailan Hill is still prosperous, and there is no sign of chaos at all.
"In the poorest region of the empire, the per capita income is only 39 silver coins. The difference is hundreds of times!" Des pushed the document in his hand in front of everyone and said coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor is already very dissatisfied with this issue.
, do you have to wait until His Majesty is angry before you think of a solution?"
In the most cutting-edge field, the Ilanthil Empire has already expanded its territory on the moon. The wealthy Siris nobles can even afford to marry expensive elven beauties and transform their next generation into mixed-race long-lived elites!
In the poorest areas, the government often subsidizes cheap food such as Bude mustard to provide to those on the verge of starvation.
When it comes to national affairs, there has been a lot of noise about the recent annexation of the elves, and it is not groundless at first glance. Once the annexation of the elves becomes a fact, Ailan Hill will jump to a new height, and the Human Emperor will
The time has come.
But behind this splendor, outside of the core areas and first-tier cities, most areas of Ireland are still the same as they were five years ago.
This is why Chris ordered the Imperial Prime Minister Desel, who is responsible for people's livelihood issues, to convene this meeting.
Chris hopes to comprehensively improve the happiness index of the people. He hopes that the empire he rules will develop in an all-round way, rather than a deformed and perverted society that only knows expansion like the devil.
As the emperor of the empire, Chris hopes that his army's military campaigns will actually improve the living standards of the people. Only in this way can the entire empire develop in a healthy way and avoid going on a path of no return through militancy.
In fact, everyone here is willing to cooperate with this strategic decision to balance the gap between rich and poor. They also hope that large areas of poverty-stricken areas can become rich and join the ranks of people who can spend money.
In this way, they can continue to dump those ever-changing high-tech products, so that they can ensure that the things they produce can also create profits for them.
"The industrial sector is looking for ways to decentralize less important enterprises to more peripheral areas, but the implementation speed... is very slow." A minister intervened and spoke first.
Another minister sitting next to him also echoed: "Yes, now it is really all about mobilizing the whole body. We can no longer just plan an industrial base and then make large-scale investments regardless of the cost like we did before."
"Yes, just think about it and you will know that today we have to ensure various productions and take into account the livelihood issues of the wealthy areas, so we cannot make decisions casually." An old man in the distance held the table with both hands and followed.
They are talking about difficulties, and these difficulties do indeed exist. First of all, some military industrial companies are not very willing to move because there are constraints from the military behind them.
At the same time, some companies must give priority to ensuring supplies for the expedition to the Demon Realm, so they cannot move around casually.
For example, the production of aerial battleships includes more than 19,700 subordinate parts suppliers, including missile factories, steel plate factories, artillery factories, nuclear energy plants, etc. If any one of these enterprises has a problem, the production of aerial battleships
Speed will be seriously affected.
So, the conservative minister began to speak: "I propose to develop tourism, let these backward areas take advantage of their own advantages, and increase some income as much as possible first. This will be more stable..."
Just like the real world, in backward areas, giving priority to the development of some tertiary industries can quickly improve the income situation. However, if you have a longer-term perspective, you will know that this is only a stopgap measure.
"His Majesty the Emperor's industries, I heard that 3,000 factories will be decentralized to underdeveloped areas in the next year... I think this method is worth learning." As a last resort, Des corrected his statement.
Direction: "Longtate Group will also decentralize related enterprises to underdeveloped areas in the future. The number is about 1,000!"
"There is no profit point in traditional industry. If someone is willing to take over, I don't care. Although I don't have a big business like the Longtate family, I am still willing to respond to His Majesty's call." With Serge's sample essay, other people's speeches
It's much more unified.
"I am willing to take out 300 glass, stainless steel and other manufacturing factories and decentralize them to the corresponding areas..." Sitting here are all people who have stood firm through strong winds and waves. Their decisions have always been in line with the needs of the people.
Trendy.
The grass on the graves of those fools who went upstream is now three feet high. Many of the people who buried these fools are still sitting at this conference table.
"All the machinery in the lumber factory under my command can be relocated immediately... As long as the government of the border region provides land, I will move immediately without even frowning!" A minister assured while patting his chest.
"With your great help, I believe that in the next six months, the people's livelihood problems in the marginal occupied areas will definitely be greatly improved." Desale was quite satisfied with the attitude of these nobles, and his expression changed.
It looks much better.
"The Volavo area is rich in mineral resources. In the future, we will transfer 200,000 residents from here to the Misak area, which is also rich in mineral resources." Then he began to introduce the subsequent economic development strategy.
"The Higgs region is rich in oil, and the local residents must also move to the northern part of Norma in a planned way." Everyone knows about the empire's plan to relocate part of the population, but they don't know that the scale is so huge.
"The government will allocate 300 million gold coins for road construction and other development in the Gushan area where there are many iron ore veins... This plan will start tomorrow." After explaining the content of the relocation, Des went on to talk about the details of other development plans.
"Similarly, the government will invest 70 million gold coins in the fishing industry in the South Inland Sea to open a canning factory there to develop new seafood dishes and develop local people's livelihood." He said one by one, making many people happy.
This is all valuable news. Even if you just purchase some land in these places in advance, it will be enough to make a lot of money.
"The two important ports in the southern region, Paston and Briburn, will be restored in the next two years. The investment shares will be notified to everyone to bid later." But Desel still kept talking, as if everything was normal.
Same as the ones given for free.
"The railway lines and highway lines extending from Sudo City to the hinterland of Kashyyyk region will be subject to bidding later. The total investment is about 3 billion gold coins." He said while looking at everyone's flower-like face.
Then, the imperial prime minister changed his subject: "The empire will issue the "Regulations on the Use of Acquisition of Land" in the next two months. This regulation was drafted by me. I can tell you here very responsibly that in two months,
All purchased land will be invested and used within half a year. If there is no investment and no use, it will be taken back to state ownership..."
After hearing the news, the ministers who were still planning to purchase land opened their eyes wide, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
"Isn't this a bit..." A minister looked at Des with a pale face, wanting to raise his objection.
Des didn't even look at him, and continued to talk to himself: "If you're afraid of being repossessed, hurry up and invest in projects... If you can, get a loan, if you can't, sell it! I'll tell you in advance, don't wait until then.
Blame me for being ruthless!"
"33 city airports, 140,000 kilometers of railways, 220,000 kilometers of highways, 18 airports, 7 ports, and a total length of 7,000 kilometers of oil transportation pipelines. 35 nuclear power plants, 170 thermal power stations, and 9 hydroelectric dams
..." Des said as he leaned on the chair.
Then he pointed at another pile of documents placed in front of Mr. Gurlo, and said to everyone with pale faces: "Don't say that the country doesn't give you a way to make a fortune. I have countless projects here. It all depends on what you are willing to do."
I don’t want to participate anymore.”
When he said this, Desel's face finally showed an expression of "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish", which also made people realize that this man in his early 20s is not easy to mess with.
Everyone swallowed involuntarily, and now they finally remembered that the man sitting in front of them was not only a 20-year-old confidant of the emperor, he was also the prime minister of the Eilanhill Empire and the head of the Longtate family.
A rich man whose wealth rivals that of his country, and a man whose power exceeds that of all previous emperors.
