Chapter 27

When news of the urban construction plan being sniped from multiple sources came, Donald was at the largest farm outside Reinas.

The mask on his face had been taken off by him, and he changed to a black silk politeness to cover the black marks on his forehead. Since he learned that Severet had covered the black marks on his head because of inferiority and disgust rather than because of his last resort, Donald took the hat at a recent government meeting.

I also thought of a reason specifically for this, saying that Renas's change will start with him as the mayor!

In fact, Sevit's personal image is actually very good. Putting aside the ridiculous things he did before, his first impression would never be that of a black-hearted nobleman or exploiting capitalist, but rather like a noble young master who knows nothing. The best proof is the farmers in front of him who talked to him very much.

There is no reason not to use such an image, so today's journey is actually a political show.

On the one hand, Donald was indeed more concerned about Renas' agricultural situation. After all, the premise for the smooth development of the industrial revolution was that there was sufficient guarantee in agriculture. Renas's previous land enclosure movement, which should have provided the best of both worlds, provided a large number of people with a loss of land and also lost their jobs. Donald was ready to improve this situation.

On the other hand, recently Donald is thinking about changing the image of the mayor Sevit Taros in the hearts of the citizens of Renas.

He is not going to be a hand-off manager like Servet Taros before. In order to completely control Renas, he must let everyone here know 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 benefit of the superiors. No matter how many bad things you have done in secret before, as long as you are not discovered or found a scapegoat, and then do some good things and promote them, you can easily change your image in the outside world.

"The government will issue a series of agricultural reform laws in the near future. Please remember to pay more attention to Renas Daily. Of course, the government will have special personnel to explain the situation to you. I'm sorry, I should have stayed with you for a while, but today I have some other things to deal with. Goodbye!"

He waved his hands to the crowd around him, his eyes circling on the faces of the simple people, especially the news agency reporters behind them, who had to take care of them.

The farmers below were also applauding very much. You should know that in this era, a great nobleman was willing to come to the countryside to express condolences, let alone bring gifts to each of them, even if they were ordinary objects, which was still something that could touch these people at the bottom.

Leaving the farm under the dual protection of Bernet and Anthony, although Donald did not need their protection, Sevit Taros needed it, so his recent behavior showed his fear and concern to the outside world, and almost all had to take these two bodyguards.

"Raising the price of daily necessities, creating construction accidents, spreading rumors... It's interesting, it seems that Adrien still has some means."

Sitting in the return car listening to Huxley's report, Donald didn't feel much surprised on his face, after all, most of these methods were what he had expected.

These people dare not fight against Donald, Mayor Renas, and can only play tricks on some places that the government cannot manage. After all, the Renas government cannot stop those sudden construction "accidents". The price increase of goods is a common phenomenon in economic activities. Donald cannot point a gun at their nose and let them lower the price.

"This is just the beginning. According to the latest information, it is not only the construction site in Renas that has unexpected accidents, but also several factories that produce steel and masonry. They claim to the outside world that there is a problem with the machine, so the output will be greatly affected. In short, the construction materials produced in Renas will soon be short of limits in the near future!"

"Oh? This is to hinder my plan. I would rather make a lot of money than make a lot of money in my mind."

Although Renas' industrial reform has been advancing, it has never been completely developed due to the influence of social conditions. Donald read this report some time ago. At present, there are no more than 15 factories in the entire Renas city, including more than half of which are silk factories and factories that produce other daily necessities. Only about 3 are real building materials such as steel and bricks.

At present, the urban construction of Renas is in full swing. In a short period of time, the demand for this type of building materials has almost increased to an unprecedented level. Donald thought that the capitalists who control those factories should not miss this opportunity to make a big profit, but they did not expect that they were so determined.

"Yes, I have to say that their methods are very effective. The production in Renas City is not large. If this situation continues, if it does not exceed three days, nearly one-third of the projects in the city will be forced to shut down. If large-scale procurement of steel and masonry from other places will increase significantly and our finances cannot afford it."

Huxley looked at the road ahead without looking squinting. The streets outside were not easy to drive. He had to pay attention to the depressions and stones at all times, and then continued,

"There is also the project of your private railway station. The demand for laying train tracks is also huge... At present, one-third of the tracks have not been laid, and the railway stations outside the Howling Forest are still only in the initial stage of starting construction."

"According to the original plan, the contract should have been drafted, right? I want to see if these people really want to fight with me or are they planning to take this opportunity to make a big profit from me."

Putting the documents in his hand next to him, Donald looked at the pastoral smoke outside the window, his face faintly exhausted.

In the past, he was just a leader of a five-person team. He loved to take care of the interests of five people, including him. In many cases, he didn't even need to take care of him. Anthony and the others were all powerful aliens. However, when he became Mayor Renas, the future of 300,000 people was suddenly in his hands. The pressure can be imagined.

"Who did you decide to send to secretly contact those capitalists? Although several contracts have been formulated, we have not yet decided on the target of contact..."

"Of course, we need to find a few people with good eloquence... Tsk, the government still has too few talents. You can choose them yourself. There are not many people in the first batch of people. Just 3 to 5 people are enough. We will discuss with the capitalists who control those building materials factories. We have lost such a good opportunity to make money because of participating in the interest alliance. I believe they are troubled now."

In Donald's view, the other party's interest alliance was completely unkind. Adrien simply used several sexually scrupulous policies of the Renas government to harm the interests of these people some time ago and did not make corresponding compensation to pull these people to the united front, hoping to seize the authority of Sevit Taros in Renas and replace it.

But they would never have thought that Servet was no longer the original slave of wealth, and his capital and trump cards were much more than they thought.

Donald wasn't even ready to use force.
