The proposal to rebuild the entire industrial level of Jagun must at least be taken a look by his uncle, the Sun King, before it is implemented.
If he doesn't agree, the whole process will become very difficult, or even impossible...
So Sean had to tell the Sun King in advance, and he also prepared a set of lines to convince the other party.
…
Sean still doesn't know how big Jagun's palace is. He only knows that he lives in a southeast corner, and the entire palace is many times larger than the one he lives in.
The royal family lived in the inner palace, and there was another circle outside for the guards and servants in the palace to live in, making the whole place look bigger.
After being here for more than half a month, the only thing Sean remembered most was the road leading to the palace where the Sun King lived.
All the soldiers who saw him along the way bowed their heads and greeted him...
"Your Highness."
"Um?"
When Sean was heading towards the Sun King's Palace, he ran into the Prime Minister Lubin.
"Lu Bin Yuqing, you are here too?"
"Yes, Your Highness. This morning I came to give the Sun King my daily report on the situation in various places." Lubin said with a smile.
Each of the Grand Chamberlains was responsible for a different department, and Lubin seemed to be the one responsible for managing the liaison with the lords of the various regions of Jagon, and also managing them on behalf of the Sun King.
"I see. Lord Lubin has been very lucky."
"It is my honor to work for the royal family. When I received the grace of the Queen and sat on this position, I must be responsible to the end." He said firmly.
Lubin looked to be in his forties or fifties. According to him, he was able to take up his position because of his mother's promotion, and now he was also indirectly trying to be loyal to him.
It’s just that although he always expresses his loyalty, his actual favorability has always remained in the [friendly] range, which is not high.
Even at a level that could drop at any time...
After all, he is an old parasite who has been with the empire for decades. How could he clamor for repayment for a small favor in the past? The conscience he had was probably destroyed by life long ago.
But I still have to pretend on the surface and act happy.
At least the other party has no hostility towards him at the moment, and the fact that he was able to stand up and speak for him in the hall last time also fully demonstrates that he is currently on his side.
"My mother would be very happy if she were still alive."
The other party bowed his head to show respect for the deceased emperor... The etiquette was quite good.
"By the way, Your Highness, why are you here so early today? It seems there's no need for Parliament today."
"I have something I want to discuss with my uncle. Since you're here... I'd like to ask you first, why can't the Jagun region develop some industry?"
After all, the other party is one of the old ministers who has ruled the country for decades. As long as he hears a little bit of meaning, he can think of the follow-up words.
"Is this your Highness's plan?"
“I have an idea.”
"It's very difficult..." Lubin said directly.
"Why?"
Sean could imagine that there were difficulties, but he didn't know where the difficulties lay.
"Because Your Highness returned from Zambutal, the Queen actually mentioned similar reforms when she returned from there. She even established a national workshop at that time. It still exists today, but it's just not functioning."
"Why?"
Sean didn't expect that his mother had already made one in advance.
"Because it involves the interests of many people, even the interests of many large conglomerates in Jagon... Your Highness, have you heard a story?" Lubin suddenly changed the subject.
"What a story."
"A story about a coal miner. A beautiful town, popular with tourists, whose residents depended on the constant flow of visitors, was transformed by the discovery of a mine by a wealthy local businessman.
"He guided the townspeople to open a mine, which brought prosperity. However, the town didn't actually become prosperous after that. Only the merchants became wealthy... Instead, he polluted the town to the point where no more tourists came. Since then, the mines could no longer be mined, and the population dwindled, eventually forcing many to move away."
After briefly telling the whole story, Lubin looked at Sean.
"Why do you think so, Your Highness?"
"Because people's lifestyles can't change," Sean said.
"Your Highness is right. For various reasons, the desert nations have formed a fixed way of survival among themselves. If one link is changed, the entire chain will be affected. Many people will lose their jobs and turn to rebellion. This trade-off is very dangerous."
He looked around and just at that moment a patrol soldier from the palace passed by and nodded and greeted him.
"That's why the Queen's workshop couldn't be fully launched..."
Sean listened to what the other party said and thought about it.
"But Your Highness, don't worry. Zambutal's industry is indeed very impressive. In fact, over the years, the nobles have gradually accepted it, but it is still very difficult to promote it."
"I see." Sean nodded in response.
In fact, the other party is saying that if they want to promote industry, it will affect the interests of many people, but it can be avoided or implemented by finding some way.
There are no absolutely right or wrong options in this world. It depends on whether you can control it.
"I wish your highness good luck!"
After saying that, the other party was about to leave, but was stopped by Sean.
The reason was that when they met just now, they saw that the other person had a "troubled" state on his head. He didn't know what had happened. Since he told the other person what he wanted to ask, he should also share his secrets.
"I just saw that Lord Lubin seems troubled. Is there something wrong with the local lords?"
"There is a problem... Several small countries in the south have been harassed by the Desert Golden Group, but they have no way to fight them, so they are asking us for help. I just discussed with the Sun King whether Jagon should intervene."
"The Golden Group is coming again?"
Desert Gold Group.
This group of professional mercenaries, fighting for profit, are powerful but devoid of any faith. They will fight for anything they are paid...
I don’t know who paid them to start fighting again recently.
When he was in Oro City, he was only fighting against a small team of the Golden Group. The entire Golden Group was spread across various areas of the desert, and the population was scattered, so they would only gather together to fight when they had to.
A very troublesome group of people indeed.
"If Your Highness wants to know more, you can ask the Supreme King. He is currently worried about this matter."
"Um."
After replying, the two separated.
Unexpectedly, the Golden Group appeared again...
These are good, maybe I can use them to help myself.
