Chapter 494
Donald was on the largest farm outside Reynas when news of the city’s plans was being sniped by multiple parties.
The mask on his face has been taken off by him, changed to black silk politely, and covered the black lines on his forehead, ever since he knew that Serveit covered the black lines on his head because of inferiority and disgust, not anything After a last resort, Donald took off his hat at a recent government meeting.
He also thought of a reason for this, saying that the change of Renas will start with him as the mayor!
In fact, Servette’s personal image is actually very good. Aside from the absurd things he did before, his first impression will definitely not be a black-hearted aristocrat or an exploitative capitalist, but more Like an aristocratic Young Master who doesn’t understand anything, the best proof is the peasants who are very close to him.
There’s no reason not to use an image like this, so today’s trip is more or less a political show.
On the one hand, Donald is really concerned about the agricultural situation of Reinas. After all, the premise of the successful development of the Industrial Revolution is that there are sufficient guarantees in agriculture, and Reinas was supposed to have the best of both worlds for capital production. The enclosure movement, which provided a lot of labor, caused a large number of people to lose their jobs and land, and Donald was ready to improve this situation.
On the other hand, Donald has been thinking about changing the image of the mayor of Serveit Talos in the hearts of the citizens of Renas.
He is not going to be an arm-flinging shopkeeper like Serveit Talos before, in order to completely control Renas, he must let everyone here know of his existence.
In this case, his image must not be too bad among the people. With the recent reforms in various aspects, it is just the time to show his presence.
This is the advantage of the superior, even if you have done a lot of bad things in the dark before, as long as you don’t get discovered or find a scapegoat, and then do some good things and publicize it, you can do it with no difficulty. Change your image in the outside world.
“Recently, the government will issue a series of agricultural reform laws, gentlemen, remember to pay more attention to the Renas Daily. Of course, the government will have special personnel to explain the situation to you. I’m sorry. I should stay with everyone for a while, but I have other things to deal with today, goodbye!”
Waves to the surrounding crowd again and again, and their eyes converge on the faces of those honest people, especially the The news agency reporters behind them have to take care of them even more.
The peasants below are also very cooperative and applauded. You must know that in this era, a big noble is willing to go to the countryside to offer condolences, let alone bring gifts to each of them, even if they are These ordinary objects, this is still something that can make these people at the bottom very moved.
Leaving the farm under the double protection of Burnett and Anthony, although Donald does not need their protection, Serveit Talos does, so the recent trip is to show the outside world that he The fear and worry of the people almost had to bring these two bodyguards.
“Raising the prices of daily necessities, creating construction accidents, spreading rumors…Interesting, it seems that Adrian still has some means.”
Sitting on the return trip Listening to Huxley’s report in the car, Donald didn’t have much surprise on his face, after all, most of the methods he had already expected.
These people dare not fight against Mayor Donald, Renas, and can only play tricks in places beyond the control of the government. After all, the Reinas government cannot stop those sudden construction “accidents”. ”, the price increase of commodities is a common phenomenon in economic activities, Donald Impossible is holding a gun to their nose to let them lower the price.
“This is just the beginning. According to the latest information, it is not only the construction site of Renas that has an accident, but also several factories that produce steel and masonry. They claim that there is a problem with the machine. So the output will be greatly affected. In short, the construction materials produced in the city of Renas will soon be stretched!”
“Oh? This is to hinder my plan and spend the money Ah, I would rather trouble me if I lose a lot of gold pounds.”
Although Renas’ industrial reform has been advancing, it has not been fully developed due to the influence of social conditions. , Donald has read a report on this some time ago. At present, there are no more than 15 factories in the entire Reinas City, and more than half of them are silk reeling factories and factories that produce other daily necessities, and the rest really produce steel. , There are only about 3 brick and stone building materials.
Currently, the urban construction of Reinas City is in full swing, and the demand for this type of building materials has almost risen to an unprecedented level in a short period of time. Donald thought he was in control of those factories. Capitalists should not miss this opportunity to make a lot of money, didn’t expect them to be so determined.
“Yes, I have to say that their methods are very effective. The output in Renas City is not much. If this situation is maintained now, within three days, there will be nearly one third in the city. If we purchase large quantities of steel and masonry from other places, the cost will be greatly increased, and our finances will not be able to afford it.”
Huxley looked steadily forward The road ahead, the suburban streets are not easy to drive, he has to keep an eye on those dents and rocks, and after a pause he continued,
“And your private railway station project, laying train tracks The demand for this is also huge… At present, there is still one third track that has not been laid, and the railway station outside Howling Forest is only at the initial stage of groundbreaking.”
“According to the original plan, the contract should have been drawn up, right? I want to see if these people really want to fight with me to the end or are they going to take this opportunity to make a fortune from me.”
Putting the document in his hand aside, Donald stared at the idyllic smoke outside the window, his face faintly exhausted.
In the past, he was only the leader of a five-person team. What he loves and needs to take care of is only the interests of the five people including him. In many cases, he does not even need to take care of him. Anthony and the others are all powerful. The heretic, however, when he became the Mayor of Renas, the future of 300,000 people was suddenly in his hands, and the pressure in it can be imagined.
“Who do you decide to send to secretly contact those capitalists? Although several contracts have been drawn up, the target of the contact has not yet been determined…”
“Of course, you need to find a few people with good eloquence… Tsk, there are still too few talents in the government, you can choose by yourself, you don’t need too many people to contact with the first batch of people, just 3 to 5 people. The factory capitalists who control the building materials factories have lost such a good opportunity to make money because of their participation in the interest alliance. They must be distressed now.”
The other party’s interest alliance is in Donald’s view. There is no friendship at all, Adrian is nothing more than taking advantage of several counter-argument policies of the Renas government some time ago to harm the interests of these people without making corresponding compensation to pull these people into the united front, wanting to borrow money. This seizes Serveit Talos in Renas and replaces it.
But they absolutely would not have thought that the current Serveit is no longer the original miser, and his capital and trump cards are far more than they imagined.
Donald isn’t even ready to use martial power.
He will use money to smash this alliance of interests!
