v4 Chapter 20: the eve of reform

"I want Renas' engineering team to build a private train station on the outskirts of Howling Forest as quickly as possible, and there must be a special train going between them!"

Donald's first request in an internal meeting didn't sound like it had anything to do with changing the status quo in Renas.

"Are you going to develop Howling Forest? Pardon me, I don't think it's a good idea."

For Donald's request, Huxley immediately guessed his plan, but thinking about it did not mean agreeing.

It is true that according to the laws of the Ryan Empire, nobles have the right to develop some unowned resources in the area under their control. Although the area of ​​Rainas City controlled by Serveit Talos does not cover the Howling Forest, there are no other nobles at the same time. The territory of this forest includes this forest, after all, it is really too big.

This means that although the Howling Forest is currently owned by the Imperial Government, it is also an unowned resource to a certain extent. After all, the Imperial Government has never thought about it and has no chance to develop it.

Huxley admitted that the area of ​​Howling Forest is larger than the entire Reinas City. Whether it is wood or other resources, it is very rich. If it can be developed, it can create a large amount of resources in a short period of time. jobs and driving the development of certain industries at an extremely fast pace.

And with Donald's current status, if you want to develop the Howling Forest, you don't need anyone's approval. If you have special resources, report it to the Earl's family in East Germany, just go through the process.

But the Howling Forest has existed for so long and no one dared to develop it for no reason. The various legends in this forest and the adventurous teams that have gone back and forth are enough to prove that this forest is protected by some mysterious force.

Want to develop it, easier said than done?

Not to mention that the construction of a private railway station, the laying of railway tracks and other projects require a lot of money. With the current financial situation of Renas City, if the money is invested in this, the city construction may be in a dilemma.

In case it is found that the interior of Howling Forest cannot be developed at all after the construction is completed, the money will be completely lost, and it will not be able to return to the original cost, which will be a huge loss!

"I don't dare to say anything else. I know the situation of Howling Forest better than any of you. It will become the biggest capital for Renas to turn around, and you only need to cooperate with me."

If he didn't even know his real home base, Donald wouldn't know what else he would know. The resources that the forest has accumulated over the long years are all real, and the only thing lacking is the development of clear goals!

"Of course your opinion prevails."

Huxley glanced at a few people next to him, only Victor had the same doubts on his face, and everyone else took this seemingly unrealistic decision for granted, which made him quickly realize Some things, with a strange expression, are briefly recorded in their notebooks, and there is no longer any refutation.

"The next most important thing is people's livelihood. The two things I just said at the meeting are obviously not enough. I need a practical plan to improve the people's sense of belonging to Renas City in a short period of time, rather than the current situation. This kind of hostility to the Renas government like an enemy will cause great resistance to our next plan."

When Donald said this, he looked at Victor. He knew that Victor had been thinking about this matter for the past two years, and now is the time for him to show his strength.

If you want to reform, you must win the hearts and minds. If the people don't trust the government at all, then no matter how much the latter tries, it will be in vain.

What's more, Renas is now in a situation that may collapse at any time. It is unrealistic to say that it is unrealistic to use policies to force the people to make changes.

Donald didn't want the reform to begin, and the people at the bottom would start a big riot for themselves, and Renas couldn't afford such consequences.

"I have referred to the current situation of many first-tier cities in the Ryan Empire, and I think it is completely feasible to follow the city laws that have been tested by the public in terms of systems. The various taxes levied by the city of Nas, and the second is to improve the treatment of the people. I understand that in all aspects, Rena is incomparable with those developed and prosperous cities, and it is impossible to immediately follow their welfare system, so my idea is temporary. There are limited changes and improvements within a certain range. Now the people of Renas are actually at the bottom, and their expectations for the government are very low. At this time, any changes that are beneficial to them can get a good response in a short time.”

Victor glanced at Donald's expression every two words. Although they had an agreement, but after learning that these people actually killed all the guards around Serveit Talos except the butler and killed him After the news of the replacement, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in the face of the brand-new Serveit Talos in front of him.

Therefore, now I only dare to choose some of my own plans that are relatively mild to the capitalists and aristocrats in Renas City, for fear that the other party will suddenly go back and suspend the contract.

After all, they have changed from challengers to vested interests, and their differences will naturally change their minds.

"Victor, your plan is too conservative. What I want is a drastic reform, do you understand?"

After listening for a while, Donald found that Victor's proposals were all innocuous. Knowing that he had some scruples, he took the initiative to say,

"Now Renas still has too many drawbacks and cancers, I don't have so much time to waste with them, now several notorious families in Renas have been destroyed by me, and the government is under my control. , starting from tomorrow, I will order them to cooperate with our reforms in the name of the mayor. What I need is a bold enough plan, because I am determined to eliminate those who stand in the way of Renas in the shortest possible time. obstacle."

In Donald's view, as long as the reform begins, it will definitely not be a harmonious situation of hello, me, everyone, and one or more parties must make sacrifices.

Donald didn't want to sacrifice himself, so naturally he had to find a way to sacrifice others.

"I understand, please give me two days, and I will give you a new plan."

Victor clenched the pen in his hand with excitement. Isn't he preparing for such an opportunity in Renas for so long?

Now the opportunity is in front of him, what is there to hesitate?

"Huxley, speaking of the families we killed before, have their properties been collected?"

Donald seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and asked.

"I have confiscated all those unowned properties in the name of the government~lightnovelpub.net~ The inventory work has not yet been completed. At present, it seems that the amount is quite large. Those families hold nearly all of Renas' wealth."

These are the core families that were attached to the former Serveit Talos. To put it bluntly, they were the most powerful families under the Talos family in Renas, and it was inevitable to seize social resources on a large scale.

It's just that now they all belong to Donald, and in a sense, they are also returned to the original owner. After all, the entire Reinas City belongs to him.

"The gold pounds or other non-fixed property stored in their warehouses are all invested in the next city construction. As for the factories and other miscellaneous shops under the names of these families, they are all incorporated under my name. Organize and integrate into a large company, and the reform starts here!"

In exchange for the former Serveit Talos, he must have gathered the wealth in his own hands and refused to let it out, but the current Donald's thoughts are exactly the opposite of him, since he has decided to regard Renas as a In addition to the Howling Forest, another base camp to build, so it's worth the money!

Huxley looked at the high-spirited young man sitting on the chair in front of him. ,

Donald's approach was very similar to a plan he had privately considered before, only that at the time it could not be realized because of Serveit Talos' obstruction, and now it has become "Serveit Talos" who fully supports those who sounded unmistakably in their predecessors. thoughts that harm their own interests.

"An extremely wise decision."

Listening to the other party's steadfast exposition of his thoughts, Huxley pursed his lips, and finally said softly to himself.
