When we arrived at the Sun King's bedroom, several royal ministers were already waiting there.
He even bowed when he saw me.
"Come on."
"Well, is there something that my uncle wants me to do today?" Sean asked directly after he came in.
Aren’t the things happening in the palace these days the same as the affairs of the Dansu Kingdom?
"I want to ask you something about Dansu... Your brother and sister have already told me their opinions, but you have been silent, so I called you over." said the Sun King.
In Sean's opinion, the Sun King has always planned to train the three of them. No matter what problems he encounters, he will ask the three of them for their opinions, even though they may not be adopted in the end.
But I want to hear what the three of them think about this matter.
It's not hard to see that he has some intention of cultivating her...
"The conditions are very clear. What else can I say? It's just a matter of how much money we can help them." Sean said with a smile.
Anyway, the final decision-making power lies in the hands of the Sun King and these ministers. I don’t fully understand the national conditions of Jagun as a whole, so how much say do I have?
"Prince Sean, you are too modest. You were the lord of a region and you helped develop the region that had just suffered a disaster. Your experience is no less than anyone here." Lubin stood up and spoke at this time.
Among the ministers, he was the only one who liked to speak for himself, and he also used this method to express his position.
"Yes, I called you over this time to hear your opinion. Mu Dan came to me yesterday and told me that he hopes to help Dan Su. I can see that he seems to be very interested in the little princess."
Sean was stunned for a moment when he heard what the Sun King said.
He also noticed...
Then why.
"This is also a kind of growth for Mu Dan. I rarely heard him fight for anything before." said the Sun King.
It was at this time that Sean realized that he might be thinking in the wrong direction. Even if the two princesses intended to approach him for the sake of their country, it might not be a bad thing for Prince Jagun.
I have an idea in mind, so I am willing to fight for it.
As one of the heirs to a region's hegemony, what he fears most is settling into a comfortable life. As long as he is willing to think about it, his subjects will do it for him.
Even if it's a woman, it doesn't matter.
If Mu Dan really likes the idea of standing up for Princess Dansu, it would be good for his own growth.
It seems that I am too narrow-minded.
I am always warned by the famous saying that beautiful women are the root of all trouble...
As long as it is used in the right place, it is not a bad thing.
What's more, Mu Dan has not yet married. If he really marries Princess Dansu in the future, Dansu will be a relative of the Jiagong royal family, so it won't be a big deal to give her some help.
"However, Princess Seria seems unwilling to accept them so easily. She hopes that King Dansu can be demoted to our vassal, so that Dansu will become Jagun's land." Lubin said again.
That is to increase the bet.
Sean didn't know much about this sister, but during the month they spent together, he could see her ambitions. She was a capable person, and she was decisive and resolute in doing big things.
It was already rumored in the palace that her personality was very similar to her mother's.
"So I want to ask you this time, what is your opinion?"
Sean didn't think much about these things at all.
Dansu is too small for Jagun, it is just a city. Its only advantage is that it has a large port, but it still cannot balance the huge gap between the two sides.
Not even any one aspect.
At the beginning, the Bashalan Empire was willing to cede the Oro region for the sake of national interests.
Dansu is so small for Jagun that it cannot even be compared with Basaran and Oro regions, so there is no need to worry about it.
Helping or not helping is of no consequence. The overall impact on the situation is not even as great as the shock this incident has brought to the desert nations...
It seemed like everyone was really waiting for his answer.
Sean thought about it.
Finally he said:
"How about we lend them money and pay interest? As for security, we can send our own troops to guard the area."
This method of paying taxes is not very reliable. If the overall tax revenue is not high, it will take many years to make up for it.
But because it has surrendered, you still have to show some favors occasionally. If you feel that this country is too weak a dozen years later and exempt some taxes, then the money spent today is actually equivalent to nurturing a hidden danger.
Although this hidden danger is unlikely to cause any military confrontation, it can be used for sea transportation.
Jagong also has its own port, and helping them develop will inevitably have an impact on his own port business.
"Prince Sean, do you think it's okay to just lend them money and then ask them to pay it back?" Lubin suddenly asked.
"Well, the country is still theirs. As for the defense, we will help garrison them. They don't need to train too many soldiers. We can just give some subsidies to the local garrisons in the future."
"So he is here to help us raise troops?" asked another minister.
"That's about it. Since raising an army is a huge expense, why not develop their own commerce, explore shipping, etc., so that they can pay back the money faster."
The people present were all political participants of a country, so they could understand what Sean said if they thought about it a little.
This is an indirect way of controlling their development and then suppressing them militarily.
“They probably won’t agree to this.”
"Look at how they acted in the palace a few days ago. They were already willing to hand over the sovereignty of their country, and I still retained their status as king. It can't be any worse than this."
Watching the people in front of him fall silent.
I was originally asked to come here to share my opinions. You don't have to do what I say, so just say whatever you want.
Anyway, based on my own understanding and experience of managing cities over the years...
"Hmm~ We need to discuss this matter. I understand what you mean, Sean." The Sun King [Thinking!] said...
"I heard that the industrial plants you are going to build are ready to start."
"Yeah, we're preparing. It should be ready soon."
In the industrialized world, Sean had nothing to hide; everyone present would know anyway.
I didn't intend to cause them any trouble, so I started with medicines and farm tools, little by little.
Once people get used to the low prices of medicines and the readily available farm tools, they will slowly start to get used to the faster pace of life in society.
"Well, just handle your own affairs. I won't interfere."
After getting the Sun King's assurance again, Sean finally felt relieved.
Even the High King has acquiesced, so we can just pretend we didn't hear what others said.
Things will be much easier later on!
