Chapter 171 Negotiation
When he arrived at the parliament building again, Purficott was actually feeling quite emotional.
Because she was so unhappy the last time she came here, she almost wanted to tear it down and hang all the noble bugs who dared to mock her from the street lamp outside.
However, considering that there were not enough street lights outside the parliament building, Purficott finally gave up this tempting idea.
As for her now, no one in the noble council dared to mock her in person.
One is due to her status as the guardian of the North and the pioneering earl. It is one thing to mock a noble orphan girl who has not inherited the family title in person, but it is another thing to mock a powerful noble in the empire in front of her face. It's over.
Both are Earls, but Earl Perficott really has an army at his disposal.
If someone still taunts Purfict, she doesn’t need to say anything, the Steam Knight of the White Bear Knights can throw the white glove in the opponent’s face, and then use the Steam Knight to kill him.
As for the other reason, as the current leader of the Northern Territory Development Plan, the actual sealing Guardian of the Northern Territory, and the real executor of the Empire's Doomsday Response Plan, Perficott is really qualified. Too many nobles who knew the inside story hoped to get a ticket to the north through her.
The news of abandoning the homeland has not been leaked, but for those who are qualified to know about it, planning in advance is a matter of course.
Purficott had not made any achievements in the North last year, and she had been staying in the North before. These people had no channel for him to invest or win over her. They could only raise funds at Windsor Castle. Someone saw the opportunity and invested some money early.
But this only meant that they had shown their faces in front of Purficott, and there was no need to think about making a deep impression on her.
Under such circumstances, it was too late for these nobles to flatter and win over her, so how could they offend her?
And those nobles who were unaware of the doomsday crisis also did not dare to offend Purficott. After all, they had just completed the task of ending a war, killing millions of people, and destroying three cities. Perfectcott, who is enough to leave a mark in the history books, is the most popular figure in Longton.
The military is eager to hold Purficott in the palm of its hand. Who dares to offend her might not want to try the military's iron fist?
So when Purficott walked into the parliament building again, those who had ridiculed her, looked down on her, and felt sorry for her were all groveling in front of her, or looking fawning on their faces.
It really proves that saying, when you are powerful, there are no bad people around you.
Perfect didn't pay attention to these people. She just came to the office of the Minister of Industry and Commerce that had been booked at the imperial meeting yesterday to discuss matters related to the construction of the northern border with the Minister of Industry and Commerce.
The main reason why we need to discuss with the Minister of Industry and Commerce is that the industrial production of the empire is under the management of the Minister of Industry and Commerce.
"Sir McClintock, I need to build a complete industrial production system in the north. Currently, I have found a local steel company in the colony for steel production. As for other parts, I hope to At least put up a shelf within this year." Purficott looked at the Minister of Industry and Commerce in front of her. After driving out all other irrelevant people, she got straight to the point: "You and I both know that the empire doesn't have much time. , if you want to implement the doomsday plan, it is necessary for the north to have a complete industrial production system.”
Sir McClintock nodded and replied affirmatively: "Please rest assured, Earl Brandless. Everyone reached a consensus at the royal meeting yesterday. I will coordinate domestic factories to provide you with relevant equipment, and coordinate A group of factories and enterprises worth preserving will go to the north to invest and open branches.
They will bring enough industrial production capacity and related technical talents to the north, but this aspect still requires a lot of work from you, Lord Earl. Support and give them relevant permissions. "This is something that was discussed at the Royal Meeting yesterday. The Minister of Industry and Commerce informed some large local factories and enterprises to invest in and set up factories in the north.
Not only will all the local industrial production capacity be transferred there, but at least some of the production lines and skilled workers must be transferred there.
But this not only requires cooperation from the local side, but also requires coordination from Purficott in the north.
Purficott came today largely to deal with this matter.
Although the details do not need to be discussed by the two imperial ministers in person, some general framework issues still need to be confirmed by Sir McClintock in person.
"There is no problem with this. I will open the North to them. In fact, in my plan, the North itself is to build an industrial city dedicated to production." Purficott told MacLean Sir Tork revealed some of her plans: "If these factories are willing to go to the north to build factories within this year, the relevant preferential policies are easy to talk about, although they may not need this."
" I think they still need it. After all, even if the empire abandons its homeland and everyone moves to the north under the threat of doomsday, taxes will still be paid. "Although McClintock is not a tax official, he is collecting taxes. He still has his own persistence on this point.
Perfect nodded with satisfaction. In fact, the issue of interests in this aspect did not involve much, but more respect for her, the northern lord.
After all, strictly speaking, the North is now her fiefdom. Even if the empire's local forces move there together with the royal family, nothing will change at this point.
If this can be easily changed, then the legal rationality and legitimacy of the empire's rule will be gone.
Of course, the more important point is that Perficott, who holds the Steam Knight in his hand, is strong enough to ensure that he can defend all of this.
The thermobaric bomb is still on other people's heads. It is the empire's national artifact, but if it is thrown on your own head, it will be a horror story.
Some of the most popular things in the empire today were all invented by Perficott. No one wants to offend a genius with huge energy at this juncture.
No one knew what surprising things might be pulled out of her pocket if she displeased her.
“Let’s hold a reception in the name of you and me, Lianhe. Invite representatives from factories and enterprises that cannot be abandoned by the empire. Give them appropriate briefings and guidance, and try to make them more comfortable on their own. Take the initiative to invest and set up factories in the north." Purficott thought for a while and made a suggestion to McClintock.
