"So what did Lord Oshalia say?"
Sean remembered this man. He was the leader of all commanders, and his position was equivalent to the rank of Grand Marshal in the Zambutal country.
All military commanders except the Royal Guards of Jagong were under his jurisdiction and his status was very high.
He must be one of the important ministers in Jia Gong.
However, Sean didn't have much contact with the other party, and they only met a few times in the hall.
"Lord Oshalia believes that such artillery should be equipped to the army. It will not only improve the combat effectiveness of Jagun, but also enable our army to raise its industrial level to the same level as other regions in a short period of time."
This so-called other area is probably Borg.
Even in the neighboring countries, nothing similar is found. In the Zambutal region, only the Borg have a very strong industry, and Jagun's army should have witnessed its power in the last battle with the enemy.
"What do the other ministers say?"
"The other ministers have different opinions. Some are against and some are in favor. Those who oppose are mainly some ministers who are in charge of maintaining stability. Since Jagong's military expenses also support many suppliers, if the traditional focus is shifted, many people in the middle may not be able to make a living." Lubin said.
Sean hadn't paid much attention to this before.
After hearing this, I realized that the composition of the army is also an important channel for the country to release its finances.
The taxes collected from the people and merchants are used to build the country... Whether it is the distribution of welfare or the establishment of the army, it is all consuming money.
This way the money will go back to the merchants and be distributed to the workers.
There is a bit of wealth redistribution in this sense.
The traditional Jagun army had many cooperating builders and military factories, but if new weapons were used, many manufacturers would not be able to compete for them. In this way, almost all the money would go into the hands of Claude and his men, which was a bit like losing their jobs for others.
And the technology can't keep up with Claude's.
When thinking about this, Sean suddenly felt that what Claude said before about someone entering the factory to peek into the factory might not have been done by the nobleman, but was a result anticipated in advance by those businessmen who could not compete.
"So they advocated continuing with the original arms purchases, but just buying more artillery," Lubin said.
"wrong!"
After hearing what the other party said, Sean suddenly objected.
Mirko and Illya were around. Of course, Illya didn't understand, but Mirko still had some understanding of national affairs. Even the Lubin family's children were very surprised why Sean suddenly denied it.
"You're not right, Lord Lubin. This doesn't seem to have much to do with the country."
It seems to make sense at first, but if you think about it in a broader sense, it is completely nonsensical. The market will make free choices, and it is an inevitable fact that backward methods will eventually be eliminated.
Even if this door is not opened by yourself, someone else will open it in the future.
When the southern continent begins to use steel gunboats to shatter the Adak people's dream of navigation, and when the Borg overcome the desert environment and reach the oasis again, it will not be so easy to solve the problem.
Although it seems that all the money goes into Claude's hands alone, he works for himself, and other businessmen will not allow such things to continue. They will start to change for their own interests, whether it is to study or learn from others, and more technologies will be developed.
Claude is not a genius, and there are many people who have the same strength as him, so more people will come forward.
The ones who were really defeated were only a few conservative people.
So in Sean's opinion, these excuses have nothing to do with the country!
No reason to refute...
"It seems that His Highness is indeed a sensible person, indeed. Many ministers have their own interest networks, and if their things are touched, they will definitely fight for it."
"It is indeed so."
"So the current Sun King hasn't given an answer to this matter yet. I guess it will be mentioned again in the future..."
One reason why the Sun King did not give an answer should be the agreement with himself. When Sean went to the other party with his opinions, he said that his mother had once tried to change Jagun's industry, but failed at that time because of the complicated interest relations in between.
And now it’s myself.
The Sun King allowed himself to do it, and now he faces the same problem.
It’s just that because this high-profile display has left an impression on many people, it may be difficult for them to oppose it, and now they want to merge.
"This is why I came to you today. I hope that Lord Lubin can fight for some jurisdiction of new factories for me in the hall. As for other aspects, I will find a way myself." Sean said.
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?"
Lubin thought for a few minutes before answering slowly.
"Um."
"Since Your Highness has made up his mind, I will of course stand on the same side with you." Lubin suddenly stood up.
His wife, son, and daughter all stood together.
"The Lubin family stands by Prince Sean at all times."
This time he addressed himself by name, and Sean understood the meaning.
…
When he returned, Lubin sent a carriage to take him back to the palace. It was already evening when he arrived at the bedroom.
Illya was about to order the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Mierke stayed in the study with Sean...
Looking at the sand table map of the entire Jagun capital.
The movement of the entire capital's residents can be seen...
"What do you think of Lubin's answer today?"
"What answer does Your Highness want to hear? The last time he and I met was more than ten years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary official. He could only participate in government affairs because of the Queen's promotion. Otherwise, he was not qualified to enter the palace."
"...But it's interesting to say that he has been able to climb to this position in just over a decade. I have to say he has some ability." Although Mi'er didn't say bad things about others directly, she was already reminding Sean.
One can imagine the methods used by someone who has such a smooth life.
"But His Highness needs someone like Lord Lubin now."
"How do you say that?"
"Although His Highness denies it, the struggle for succession has already begun... The previous emperor of Jagun recovered from the chaos of war, and now there are not even any princes. However, now is a peaceful era, and Jagun's heir is, to a certain extent, the future of Adak."
Mier turned around and said.
"Lubin has been cautious for so many years, but now he chooses to side with His Highness. He is putting the future of the Lubin family on His Highness's shoulders."
