Chapter 193: Sophie Liya

Sean still remembers the refreshing feeling the first time he saw this series of information.
This is no longer a simple carrot-and-stick policy, but counting the birds with one stone. Not only does it appease those big and small aristocrats who are at a loss, but it also attracts investment for their own territories in disguise, and promotes the development of commercial trade.
The series of preferential terms seemed to make the Regent princess suffer a big loss, but if those nobles and nobles really went to start a workshop or do business, the regent princess would finally take advantage.
You need to pay taxes when opening shops, workshops, and factories! Do business need to pay taxes!
Although part of the tax has to be paid to the royal family, the bulk of the tax still falls in the hands of the actual owner, the regent princess.
Most importantly, the circulation of goods in the territory is realized.
Only in the process of exchanging what is needed can goods and currencies realize their value and the territory can develop at the highest speed.
After wandering for a long time, they not only sold the land cheaply to the regent princess, but also worked for her to create more wealth.
What gave Sean a high glance was that the regent princess Sophie Liya did not have the bad habits of most of the Lords and aristocrats of the Byron Alliance.
Most of the lord and nobles have some wealth in their hands, either on the family castles that have been built for many generations, or soaking in various banquets all day long, living a high-profile and luxurious life, or putting them in their family treasury to get moldy rot.
There are really few people who are willing to invest in their own territory and engage in people's livelihood infrastructure. Sophie Liya is undoubtedly one of these few.
The speed at which she spends money, although not as exaggerated as the Yongye Group Army, can be said to be a step forward.
After five or six years of sustained investment, all the ancillary facilities and roads have come up, and a group of little nobles who have lost their territories are running and doing business among them. In addition, they have not suffered from disasters and floods in the past few years. difficult.
Now the fief of Regent Princess Sophia Liya can be regarded as a fertile land second only to the capital of Valesta and Holy Land, the holy place of the Holy See.
All this is the basis for her to implement the New Deal.
The New Deal of the Princess Regent is not complicated in Sean's view. It is a relatively simple separation of military and government, the establishment of a special municipal council, and the corresponding tax payment and public facilities construction.
However, the implementation of this new policy has many obstacles, even in its own fiefdom.
Because this new coup has weakened the role of the nobles of the lord, if all cities are managed by the municipal council, what do they want the nobles of real power to do?
Sophie Liya is not only a princess, but also a regent. Once her experiment is completed, what will happen to the entire royal fief?
However, the title of Iron Princess was not called for nothing, she was talking about the same means as her iron fist, and the policy she decided to implement would definitely not compromise.
Even if a roundabout compromise is easier to succeed, she would not do it.
It's not that Sophie Liya doesn't know how to work, but that she really understands the qualities of those nobles and nobles. Your compromise will not be exchanged for their approval.
If they put on the posture of a desperate Saburo who will hurt both sides, these guys will easily wither themselves and take the initiative to retreat.
This time, there is no doubt that the regent princess Sophielia won.
Because the New Deal was carried out in her fief, she held the absolute power of life and death, and the lord and nobles below were jumping for joy. When she was annihilated by her, no one would jump out and say nothing.
However, the regent Princess Sophie Liya's New Deal was limited to this, and did not intend to be implemented throughout the royal family.
This is her shrewdness. The New Deal in her territory is a test, a test of those lord and lord, to test their acceptance of this New Deal.
At present, it is not ideal.
If the regent princess Sophie Liya enforced it, it would only push all the lord and nobles to their opposites, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
However, the implementation of the New Deal this time is not without any benefit, that is, a brand-new possibility is placed in front of the noble nobles. After the effect comes out, some enlightened nobles will naturally follow suit, and wait for the time to ferment. Consider the matter of large-scale implementation.
This is the style of a mature ruler.
Let alone three years ago, even a year ago, Sean did not think that he would have the opportunity to deal directly with him, but now, the two are conveniently face to face, no more than ten meters apart.
"You only have half an hour, the messenger from the mountain." The majestic female knight reminded Sean in a low voice.
"Thank you very much." Sean leaned slightly to express his thanks.
"What's the matter? You arrived three days later than the agreed time. Do you know how much it cost me to arrange this meeting? If you come here a long time later, the princess is about to leave. You want to see you again, or by yourself Go to Valesta, the royal capital, or wait for next year." Anjibeina complained in a faint mosquito voice.
This meeting was of course carefully arranged.
The regent princess is not able to see if you want to meet, especially Sean is still an Andean. As for the title of the general of the Yongye Group, it is not easy to use in front of others. Maybe they don't even have the name of the Yongye Group. Heard it.
The opportunity to meet with Princess Sophia, the regent, was won by Angie Bina vigorously.
The two can be regarded as close friends in the boudoir who have known each other for many years. Sean went to Solo City the year before, and only saw Angie Beina after a while. At that time, Angie Beina was the regent princess Sophilia who came to visit the fief before the meeting. Up.
Every year during the autumn harvest, the regent princess sets off from the royal capital Valesta to her fief. In name, she inspects her fief, but actually inspects the royal territory.
The plains of Asia Minor are tadpole-shaped. The royal capital Valesta is located on the head of this big tadpole, and the fief of the regent Princess Sophia is located on the tail of this tadpole. Neighbors, the situation can be described as complicated.
Speaking of the fief of the regent princess, there is a story in it, because this fief is the first thing she did after taking over as the regent-the fief she chose for herself.
The reason why he chose his fief so remotely is to show an attitude and show that he has no prying heart for the throne-being so far away from the king's capital, it is inconvenient to rebel.
"After receiving your letter, I rushed here for the first time. You told me it was too late!"
Helping Sean get to meet the regent princess Sophie Liya was a matter that the two sides negotiated a long time ago, but it depends on the other party’s schedule. Sean can’t take such a big risk. He traveled all the way to the royal capital Valais. See you tower.
After receiving the letter from Anjibeina, he turned back to the ancient Jacob River from the northern fortress and ran all the way, naturally, there was a delay.
"I didn't expect time to be so tight. There was a problem in the capital, and the schedule changed. I said everything that should be said, and I did what I can do. Whether an agreement can be reached depends on your own ability. "Angie Beina winked her eyebrows, looking like I am optimistic about you, obviously she has touched a small nail.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time." The regent princess Sophielia put down the quill pen and said apologetically after finishing the processing of the documents in her hand, "I will not introduce myself, Angel Bena has already introduced your basic situation. After that, since you worked so hard to arrange this meeting, you must have done an investigation on me, and you know everything you need to know, let's go directly to the topic!"
"His Royal Highness is quick to talk, then I won't be too long-winded."
The simplicity and directness of the regent princess Sophie Liya was a bit beyond Sean's expectation. This was completely inconsistent with the aristocratic etiquette of the Byron Alliance. In the eyes of other nobles, doing so was definitely an insult to them.
I wonder if the Princess Regent treats everyone like this? Or is he treated differently because he is from Andis and knows that he doesn't understand the etiquette?
The latter is mostly possible, after all, among the many rumors about the regent princess, there is no such thing as ignorance of etiquette.
From this small detail, it can be seen that the other party is a thoughtful and caring person, and he is prepared for this meeting. This discovery made Sean’s confidence slightly increased and convinced a person who was interested in his proposal. It's much easier than persuading a person who is in the mood to see oneself.
While talking, Shaun had already looked at the most powerful woman in the Byron League.
Just like the legend, she is really young, young beyond imagination, it is difficult to imagine a woman in her early twenties, carrying a kingdom on her shoulders, and she has been carrying it for six years.
Compared with the brilliant record and achievements of others in the past six years, this achievement that Sean has achieved now is really nothing.
However, it is a far cry from the aggressive, melon-faced, phoenix-eyed, and Wang Xifeng-style presidential strong woman that Shaun expected. After all, the other party is famous for its iron fist, and people can't help thinking about this.
But reality is more prone to similar reversal plots than novels. Sophie Liya does have a bit of heroism between her eyebrows, but the whole is soft and charming, and she has a romantic feeling between her smile and her face. This may be related to the relatively petite face of the other party. .
The other party is not the kind of peerless beauty that makes people shine, but it is said to be good-looking, and the overall feeling is very comfortable, the more you look, the more pleasing to the eye.
Sean considered his words and said: "I don't know to what extent the Countess Angie Bella and Her Royal Highness have spoken. I will reiterate my intention. I have brought the goodwill of the Andean people and a special note. If the transaction can be completed, we will be a win-win situation."
"If it can be done, it is indeed a win-win situation. I am very curious how do you plan to re-flow the Jacob River? More precisely, how do you prove that you and your people have made Jacob River re- The ability to flow? You don’t think that if you say nothing, I will believe you? How can I be sure that you are not a pretentious, boastful person? I don’t know how many people like this I have seen, you How to prove that you are not one of them?"
Sophie Liya crossed her hands, supported the book case, leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on Sean, a forceful sharpness emerged spontaneously. Obviously, her weak appearance is just a natural disguise. This is that. A true Jagged Princess.
"I personally went to Tang's territory to see, they do have..."
Angela Bella wanted to help Sean to plead, but Sophia Liya interrupted her unceremoniously: "Your Excellency Countess, you said enough to do. I agreed to meet this time. It was all based on this. , You should know how big the interests are. I can’t make such a decision just because of your one-sided words. I must at least know what kind of person my future collaborator is? Use my eyes to see, Listen with my ears and feel with my heart, not through your mouth. Allowing you to listen is already my last bottom line. From now on, please shut your mouth, otherwise, I will invite you out."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I was wrong. From now on, I won't say a word. I only wear my ears. I can't do it!" Anji Beina raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. .
At the same time, I threw one to Sean. I can only help you here. The rest depends on your own little eyes and honestly look upside down, because she really knows the nature of her best friend too much and can tell. You can definitely do it, even if you apologize afterwards, be merciless when you should be driven out.
Sophie Liya's gaze turned back to Xiao En, the meaning was very obvious, I was waiting for your answer, and the look of scrutiny became more intense.
Chaos is not enough, because before that, Sean has fully evaluated the difficulty.
Unexpectedly, it was true. He didn't expect that Sophie Liya would raise this kind of question when he got started. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com he prepared before he came, all revolved around Jacob Jiangfu. After the stream, what kind of huge benefits will it bring to the other party, how should they use this matter to maximize their benefits, and cooperate on this basis to achieve an exchange of benefits.
Both Sean and the Military Staff have ignored a core issue. How to convince the other party that they can dig through the mountains and let the Jacob River re-flow?
This is their blind spot from their own perspective, because the preparation of the Chunlei Plan is too long, and it has become a semi-public secret in the Yongye Group Army. No one is thinking about whether they can do it, but when they do it. It is natural to maximize the benefits of things that can take the initiative.
The problem is that Sean is now going to convince a stranger a few days ago, he probably hadn't even heard of his name.
Unless you show your hole cards, it is difficult to do this.
This is another thing that Sean is unwilling to do. The secret of Black Powder, even Sean Angie Bena didn't reveal the slightest words, how could it be revealed to a character who only existed in hearsay and on paper a quarter of an hour ago?
In this meeting, there was a lot of unilateral subjective will of the Yongye Group Army, and there was great uncertainty about whether it would succeed.
Of course, this meeting was not made by Sean's forehead, but was the result of repeated discussions and research conducted by the senior officers of the Yongye Group.
Resuming the Jacob River is definitely not a matter for the Yongye Group Army.
It involves more than half of Asaan, which stretches for more than 3,000 kilometers, and the ancient rivers of the year, just like the current location of the Yongye Group Army, have mostly turned into fertile farmland.
If the Yongye Group exploded recklessly and hundreds of millions of tons of river water swarmed down, what kind of disaster would it be for the unprepared people on both sides of the ancient river.
