"Everyone, let's talk about how to run the hot spring club."
The crowd pondered.
Yin Mu did know some of the inside story.
In fact, Kitahara was something the Regent had casually subdued and then given to Leopard Court during his journey north.
Even without the intervention of the regent, their regime will eventually be conquered by the Leopard Court through military force.
Therefore, the cabinet had already drafted several detailed plans in the past.
This involves a series of tasks, including the establishment of a special zone in Beiyuan by Leopard Court and the stationing of troops.
Yin Mu then stood up and, on behalf of Safanyin, reported the plan proposed by their cabinet.
Meetings are just formalities; the cabinet already has pre-set plans and solutions for various problems, so there's no real need for discussion.
Once the plan is presented, it's a simple matter of who approves and who disapproves, and the meeting can be concluded after a few formalities.
Therefore, the entire council chamber is now very quiet.
Everyone anticipated the theme of this meeting before it even started...
"Yes, Prime Minister Yin's plan is very reasonable. Leopard Court will establish a special zone in Beiyuan and have the right to station troops there. Hot Spring Society will be dissolved and reorganized to become the ruling team of the Special Zone Executive Yuan. However, we also need to send a few capable people north."
Savanyin held up a finger and said, "There are two reasons. First, it will better help Leopard Court exercise its long-arm jurisdiction and remote control over the affairs of Northern Plains. Second, it will make it easier for us to start construction projects, such as building roads and bridges, in Northern Plains."
"As you all know, the Regent is on his way north to explore the ruins of the First Empire on the Ice Plains. This is a huge undertaking, and the Regent needs our full support. I hope you will not forget this."
In the room, some people nodded frequently, while others remained silent in deep thought.
In fact, the cabinet ministers did not approve of the regent staying away from the Leopard Court.
That's too dangerous.
Throughout history, how many people who went to explore the ice fields have ever returned?
Even those wastelanders and adventurers, when they say they're going to the Ice Plains, they only wander around the border.
I've heard that the temperature on the ice sheet is terrifyingly low, and humans could freeze to death in the middle of the night.
However, Qin Che's journey north was a major project initiated by Leopard Court.
Exploring the ruins of the First Empire may lead to discovering technologies and legacies that existed only in ancient times.
Those legacies will lead Leopard Court to a brighter future.
This point has already received the full support of the Institute of Psionic Energy, the Academy of Sciences, and the Land of Sages.
But the problem now is...
North of the Garden of the Gods, all the way to the border of the Northern Plains, there isn't even a single smooth road.
Leopard Court's takeover of the Northern Plains was merely a side effect. The most important task was to go north to meet the Regent, who needed to establish an outpost on the ice plains. Only when people were there could resources and population be continuously deployed there.
Savanyin has always been a staunch supporter of her husband.
“Princess Sa, what we are discussing now is the North Plains Special Zone. There are still many details to discuss,” Yin Mu reminded her.
Safanyin nodded: "Is Vice Minister Li here?"
At one corner of the long table, Li Zhanhuo, the deputy minister of the army, raised his hand in a flash: "Yes, Princess Sa, what are your orders?"
"I plan to have you lead troops north. The establishment of the special zone hinges on the right to station troops. Only when we can station troops freely in the North Plain can we control its geography and politics."
Li Xin followed Qin Che to the north.
The Leopard Court Military Headquarters is currently being temporarily managed by Li Zhanhuo.
"We need to establish military camps and station troops in Beiyuan on a large scale. After you go there, discuss with Yang Lingkong and Li Mi how to gradually take over the factories and industrial companies in Beiyuan. I will have Li Shuai bring the 'German Rat' with you to go north."
In the crowd, Li Jiuyuan and the sand rat both glanced at Sa Fanyin.
"You want to establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Beiyuan and control the major factions and capital groups, using the name of the Leopard Court Chamber of Commerce. Li Shuai, is that possible?"
Li Jiuyuan nodded: "Okay."
Everyone looked at the chamber of commerce owner.
Li Jiuyuan was the most detached person in the cabinet.
He is not a cabinet minister, nor does he reside in the Executive Yuan, but the resources he controls are astonishing.
Even the Ministry of Finance frequently lends him money.
Although everyone calls him Li Shuai, he is not a big shot in the military.
His exceptional quality lies in the fact that Li Jiuyuan was the first person to express his support for the Regent when he was rising to power.
Such a discerning and intelligent person has long been a veteran of Leopard Court.
He helped the Regent accomplish so much, from the First Wall to the Leopard Court. Even some of the new policies implemented by the Cabinet couldn't have been carried out without Li Jiuyuan's help. Without him, these new policies couldn't have been implemented and spread throughout the country.
Now, Safanyin wants Li Jiuyuan to go to Beiyuan.
Everyone was startled, realizing the weight of what was inside.
"Is Li Shuai also going to Beiyuan?"
"It seems the cabinet attaches great importance to the establishment of the special economic zone."
"What we value is not the establishment of a special zone, but that our king is in the north."
The crowd began to discuss it...
The gerbils, on the other hand, seemed slightly agitated.
He was just a nobody in Sandcastle, how much effort did he put in to climb from the streets to his current position as a big shot in Leopard Court?
Of course, luck also played a part.
The work he was to accomplish on this trip north was extremely important: the establishment of the special economic zone and the construction of the project both required a large amount of manpower and financial resources.
While building up the Northern Plains, they extended their territory northward to expand their rule, in order to support Regent Qin Che, who was heading to the Ice Plains.
Gerbils may once again become major contributors.
He will not give up this hard-won opportunity.
A single meeting at Leopard Court decided the future of Kitahara.
