Sean didn't do much in the following days, and spent most of his time in the palace waiting for news from other places.

I only went to the main hall on the third day to participate in the discussion of the alliance with Kserk...

There wasn't much to be taken seriously in the agreement between them. Almost all of them were measures that benefited the people of both places. The only difference was that some people had different attitudes towards intermarriage, but these voices were soon suppressed.

The cities along the Jagun coast and the cities along the Keselke coast have been intermarrying for many years, and there is no point in speaking out against it now.

At most, I can only express my own opinions, believing that official approval is not desirable, but I cannot provide any favorable evidence.

Compared to the tensions between the two countries, some civil exchanges are nothing...

However, Sean paid special attention to the minister who expressed a different opinion. His name was Brown Ifley. Like Lubin, he was one of the royal ministers, and the area under his jurisdiction was the academy's promotion convenience. His power might be smaller than that of the others, but considering that the academy was the birthplace of future talents, his status seemed to be greater.

The operation of a country is multifaceted, and it is difficult to compare the importance and unimportance of any single aspect...

Maybe more people think that military and food, clothing and housing are the most important, and there is no doubt about this.

However, every place managed by the Grand Chancellor is indispensable to the country.

The other party's name was Brown Iffli. Sean silently memorized this name. He had never shown it before, but now that he was back and his power was growing, these people began to show bias, and it was easier to tell which side they were on.

Apart from the affairs of the Kserk Empire Alliance, Sean rarely participated in other political discussions. Although the Sun King always asked him to go to the palace to personally listen to the country's development trends, Sean always refused on the grounds that he wanted to concentrate on studying industry.

The Sun King is also a wise politician. Ying can see what Sean is concerned about...

After several invitations to participate in politics failed, he stopped asking. However, he heard that his two younger brothers and sisters have become more active recently.

Almost all the time is spent in the main hall.

When he proposed to lead the expedition against pirates personally, they were busy pacifying the local area... That was when the Cthugha incident attracted monsters from other dimensions, which affected several surrounding cities. Mudan and Seria were each responsible for the reconstruction of a place.

And now they are also concentrating on this matter.

It was obvious that the news of victory he brought back had dealt a heavy blow to their morale. Now he was fully committed to the strategy of winning over the people and finding opportunities to balance himself.

As for Sean, when he was not going to the main hall these days, he would go to the industrial area outside the capital.

Claude spent several months developing some industrial products for civilian use, and to a certain extent gained a lot of market share, but the residents of Jagun were still relatively conservative in their thinking and had a low acceptance of new things.

It is said that only residents in the city like to buy the mechanical tools made by Claude. The best-selling ones are actually children's toy cars. In fact, they are similar to bicycles, but they have three wheels and are smaller. These were originally some ideas proposed to him by Sean.

Sold after being improved...

Sales are good, but the overall contribution is not significant.

The main thing is that these toy cars are also cheap.

What Claude hoped most in his blueprint was that the entire city army could use his artillery and firearms, and that the nobles could also play with some of them, so that there would be sales of bullets in the future.

Although Claude's Scovi family is not a famous family, it is also engaged in the arms business. After taking care of the big prices, he feels that the small civilian money does not seem to have a sense of accomplishment. The income of a few gold coins or a dozen gold coins is too low, although the quantity is large, it is still too low!

Sean had not expected such a result before.

But I can only say, don’t be impatient.

There is always a process...

Claude is still connected to the Scovi factory in Oro City, and the person in charge there is now his sister Esmeralda.

Compared to his predicament in Jagun Capital, the city of Oro was developing in an orderly manner. In the past few months, the tax money paid to him had been increasing, even several times more than his prince's income.

Since he had previously told the Sun King that Oro City was his own city and he wanted to keep the taxes there for his own expenses, the Sun King agreed.

Due to special reasons of Jagun's previous generation, there was no prince. The areas that the royal family could originally control separately were completely concentrated in the hands of the imperial city. Several princes and princesses could choose a place to manage. Before Sean arrived, Mudan and Seria were already the actual rulers of a city. Even the two underage brothers and sisters had cities with their own names.

Therefore, it is not difficult to have a city by yourself.

But Sean only asked for Oro City because that was where he developed his own business.

"Brother Sean, I always feel that if we continue like this, we will lose the market." Claude expressed his concerns.

"Then do you have any way to deal with it?"

"It's a bit difficult. I think we can launch it in other cities and use their local lords as promotional materials. This will make sales easier." Claude said.

"It's easy to say, but if I want to deliver it to other lords personally, even if it's in the form of a letter, it will attract the attention of the entire imperial city, and then there will be suspicion of winning people's hearts. My two younger brothers and sisters only dare to do it in private, and if I do it publicly, then the imperial city will be in trouble!" What he meant was that his actions were restricted.

"In that case, I can only take action from the mercenary group!" said Claude.

If the official approach doesn’t work, then we’ll have to rely on the private sector.

Claude was full of confidence when he first arrived in Jagun, but after a few months of trial, he realized that the local tyrants were still powerful. His main competitors were those in the Imperial Military, because they also established arsenals and competed with him in weapons.

Claude is not a rare genius, and he will make mistakes. The Imperial Military has money and people, and the complete Imperial recruitment system is a headache for them.

"Well, I'll let the Survey Corps help you too. We can't lose in business. Only when we have money can we do other things."

Claude, who was born into a merchant family, certainly understood the reason.

Speaking of the Survey Corps, Sean still didn't know what the news was from Vanir, and the two former prisoners of the Revolutionary Army were also handed over to them for interrogation.

Sean wanted to find out the whereabouts of Wax Face, the man who had asked the two of them to assassinate him, and what he had said to them...

Several days have passed and there is still no news.

I hope those people are not being lazy again!
