Six Hundred and Ninety-Seven Ministers

"Working to improve the gap between the rich and the poor has always been what we are doing." Des sat at the head of the conference room, looking at the gorgeously dressed ministers sitting on both sides of the table.

The empire started from businessmen, and many plutocrats and nobles gained their corresponding positions at the top of the empire.

And these important ministers of the empire, the profits obtained from the policies of the empire are also the investment with the highest return rate in their life.

However, it is obvious that these big chaebols, rich families, and nobles have no awareness of poverty alleviation.

The most they can do is, while squeezing the labor force and gaining more profits, sprinkle some leftovers from their fingers so that the civilians who follow them can have a bite to eat.

"The average wage standard of workers in the richest area of ​​the empire, that is, the core area, has reached a record high of 119 gold coins a month!" Des tapped the report twice with his hand, looking very unhappy.

Sitting in the position of the prime minister of the empire, he was only in his early 20s, which seemed a little too young no matter how you looked at it.

Being young enough to be looked down upon by a group of nobles and big capitalists here is Des's disadvantage. Of course, no one dared to be foolish enough to provoke this gentle and elegant young man. After all, the surname Long Tate was definitely synonymous with "not to be provoked" in the Alan Hill Empire.

Sitting on the right side of Des is Gurlo, the old minister in charge of economic affairs. This old man's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he often needs to ask for leave. He spends one-third of his time either in the hospital or resting at home.

However, because the old man's skills are really strong, the economic situation of Alan Hill is still thriving, and there is no sign of chaos at all.

"In the poorest area of ​​the empire, the per capita income is only 39 silver coins. The difference is hundreds of times!" Des pushed the document in front of everyone, and said coldly: "His Majesty is already very dissatisfied with this issue. , Don’t you all have to wait until His Majesty gets annoyed before you think of a solution?”

In the most cutting-edge field, the Alan Hill Empire has expanded its territory on the moon. The wealthy Siris nobles can even afford to marry expensive elven beauties, transforming their next generation into hybrid long-lived elites!

In the poorest areas, the government often subsidizes cheap food such as bud mustard to those who are on the verge of starvation.

When it comes to national affairs, the recent news about the elves has made a lot of noise, and it's not groundless at first glance. Once the attachment of the elves becomes a reality, Alan Hill will jump to a new height, and the era of the emperor has come.

But behind this splendor,

Except for the core areas and the first-tier cities, most of Ireland Hill is still the same as it was 5 years ago.

This is also the reason why Chris ordered the Imperial Prime Minister Des who was in charge of people's livelihood issues to hold this meeting.

Chris hopes to improve the happiness index of the people in an all-round way. He hopes that the empire he rules will develop in an all-round way, instead of a deformed and perverted society that only knows expansion like the devil.

As the emperor of the empire, Chris hoped that his army's campaign would effectively improve the living standards of the people. Only in this way can the entire empire develop in a healthy way, so that the militarism will not embark on a road of no return that there is no way to turn back.

In fact, everyone here is willing to cooperate with this strategic decision to balance the gap between the rich and the poor. They also hope that a large area of ​​poverty-stricken areas can become rich and join the ranks of those who can spend money.

In this way, they can continue to dump those ever-changing high-tech products, so that they can guarantee what they produce, and they can also create profits for them.

"The industrial sector is trying to find a way to decentralize less important enterprises to more peripheral areas, but the speed of implementation...is very slow." A minister intervened and said first.

Another minister sitting next to him also echoed: "Yes, now it really affects the whole body. We can no longer plan an industrial base casually like before, and then invest on a large scale regardless of cost."

"Yes, if you think about it casually, now you have to ensure all kinds of production, and you must also take into account the livelihood of the people in wealthy areas. You can't make decisions casually." An old man in the distance supported the table with both hands, and said immediately.

They are talking about difficulties, and these difficulties do exist in reality. First of all, some military enterprises are not very active, because there are military opinions behind them.

At the same time, some companies have to give priority to ensuring the supply of the Expedition Demon Realm, so they can't just relocate and move around.

For example, the production of floating battleships includes more than 19,700 subordinate parts suppliers, including missile factories, steel plate factories, artillery factories, nuclear energy factories, etc. Any one of these enterprises has a problem, and the production of floating battleships Speed ​​will be severely affected.

Therefore, the conservative minister began to speak: "I propose to develop the tourism industry, let these backward areas take advantage of their own advantages, and try to increase some income as much as possible, which will be more stable..."

Just like the real world, in backward areas, giving priority to the development of some tertiary industries can be regarded as a way to quickly improve the income situation, but if you have a long-term perspective, you will know that this is only a stopgap measure.

"The industries under His Majesty's Majesty, I heard that 3,000 factories will be transferred to underdeveloped areas in the next year... I think this method is worth learning." As a last resort, Des corrected his speech Direction: "Longtate Group will also decentralize related enterprises to underdeveloped areas in the future. The number is about 1,000!"

"Traditional industries have no profit points. If someone is willing to take over, I don't care. Although I am not as big as the Longtate family, I am still willing to respond to His Majesty's call." With Searle's model essay, other people's speeches It's much more unified.

"I am willing to take out 300 glass, stainless steel and other manufacturing factories and distribute them to corresponding regions..." The people sitting here are all the spirits who have survived the storm. Their decisions have always been in compliance fashionable.

For those fools who went upstream, the grass on the grave is now three feet high. Many of the people who buried these fools are still sitting at this conference table.

"The timber factory under my command, and all the machinery, can be relocated immediately... As long as the border government provides land, I will move immediately, without even frowning!" A minister promised while patting his chest.

"With your great help, I believe that in the next six months, the people's livelihood in the marginal occupied areas will be greatly improved." Des was quite satisfied with the attitude of these nobles, and his face became pale. It looks a lot better.

"The Wallavo area has become rich through mining, and we will transfer 200,000 residents from here in the future to relocate to the Misak area, which is also rich in mineral resources." Then, he began to introduce the follow-up economic development strategy.

"The Higgs area is rich in oil, and we plan to migrate the local residents to the northern area of ​​Norma, which is also rich in oil." Everyone knows the empire's plan to migrate part of the population, but they don't know that the scale is so huge.

"In the Gushan area where there are many pyroxene veins, the government will allocate 300 million gold coins for road construction and other development... This plan will start tomorrow." After talking about the relocation, Des talked about other details of the development plan.

"Similarly, for the fishing industry in the South Inland Sea, the government will invest 70 million gold coins to open a canning factory there, develop new seafood dishes, and develop the local people's livelihood." He said one by one, which made many people feel elated.

This is all valuable news. Even if you just buy some land in these places in advance, it is enough to make a lot of money.

"The two important ports in the southern region of Paston and Bribane will be restored in the next two years. The investment shares will be notified to everyone to bid for." But Des still kept talking, as if everything Same as the freebies.

"Sudo City extends to the hinterland of the Kashyyyk area, and the railway line and highway line will be bid for later. The total investment is about 3 billion gold coins." He said, looking at everyone's flower-like faces.

Then, the prime minister of the empire changed the subject: "The empire will issue the "Regulations on Land Purchase and Use" in the next two months. This regulation was drafted by me. I can tell you here very responsibly that after two months, All purchased land will be invested and used within half a year, and if there is no investment or use, it will be taken back to the state..."

Hearing this news, the ministers who were still planning to buy the land all widened their eyes, and their faces turned ashen in an instant.

"Is this a bit..." A minister looked at Des with a pale face, wanting to raise his objection.

Des didn't even look at him, and continued to say to himself: "If you are afraid of being repossessed, invest in the project as soon as possible... If you have a way, you can get a loan, and if you can't, sell it! I will tell everyone in advance, don't wait until the time comes." Blame me for being ruthless!"

"33 city airports, 140,000 kilometers of railways, 220,000 kilometers of highways, 18 airports, 7 ports, and 7,000 kilometers of oil transportation pipelines. 35 nuclear power plants, 170 thermal power plants, and 9 hydroelectric dams "…" Des said, leaning back in his chair.

Then he pointed to another stack of documents placed in front of Mr. Gurlo, and said to everyone with pale faces: "Don't say that the country has no way to make money for you, I have countless projects here, it depends on what you want unwilling to participate."

Speaking of this, Des's face finally showed the expression of those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die, and it also made people realize that this man in his early 20s is not easy to mess with.

Everyone swallowed involuntarily, and now they finally remembered that the person sitting in front of them was not only a confidant of the emperor in his 20s, but also the prime minister of the Alan Hill Empire and the head of the Longtate family. A rich man who is incomparably rich, a man whose power surpasses the emperors of all dynasties.
