Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 259 Do you dare to go even further?
Before Claire could react, a noble from the old party jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, our family's territory is closer to the northern border. For the peace of the kingdom and for the soldiers on the border, I am willing to offer the population of my territory!"
Marcel immediately looked at the noble who jumped out with a look of shock, his eyes seemed to be accusing him of acting on his own, but in the face of huge interests, it didn't matter. Marcel even jumped out himself and said, "Your Majesty, my family's territory has a large population, I believe we can take on this important task."
Marcel was originally a conservative in the old party. He believed that the real thing was to establish good relations with the North to fight against the demons. This trade certificate was not only a huge benefit to Marcel, but also could directly establish a relationship with the Governor of the North. This was the most important thing and he had to get it at all costs!
At this time, even Monroe jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, our Eastern Territory is very close to the Northern Territory, and I heard that the main loss in the Northern Territory this time is the population in the river valley. We in the Eastern Territory can send people there directly."
Monroe was also tempted. It was not shameful to make money.
After thinking about it for a while, Scott said, "Your Majesty, I think what Sir Marcel said before is right. These are the weapons that our southwest border needs, and they should be supplied by people from our southwest border. Although the journey is long, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
The people may not really have to come from the Western Territory. Let's get the trade certificate first. The operating space of this trade certificate is too large. Scott can completely distribute part of the profits to the central nobles after obtaining the trade certificate and let those central nobles send people. After all, the Governor of the North said that it doesn't matter where the people come from.
Marcel glanced at Scott with disdain, but Scott remained calm and composed. His eyes even seemed to be blaming Judith for not informing him about such an important matter.
"Your Majesty! The population in my territory can also be contributed."
"Your Majesty, my territory is closer to the North!"
"His Majesty..."
"His Majesty!"
The meeting place was as chaotic as a vegetable market. Nora tried her best to maintain order, but the nobles remained unmoved. More and more nobles realized how exaggerated the profits could be from this trade certificate. For this reason, these nobles even sacrificed their image and took risks, climbing onto the table just to let Lilith hear them speak.
Lilith sat on the throne, looking at these ugly nobles, her lips curled up as if the Dragon King had returned.
This is just foreplay, and the many cards that the brother gave me have not been used yet.
Claire broke out in a cold sweat as she watched the situation gradually get out of control. What exactly happened during Lilith's trip to the North?
At this time, the person from the Augustine family beside Claire gently patted Claire's back.
"Your Highness, the area around the capital is theoretically our fiefdom, can we move some people out..."
For a moment, Claire felt that the veins on her forehead were about to pop out, but after calming down, Claire said, "I will ask your Majesty, don't worry."
After hearing what Claire said, Augustine and the others felt relieved.
After almost everyone at the meeting had expressed their opinions, Lilith tapped the ground with her scepter in satisfaction, and the meeting room suddenly became quiet.
Looking at these nobles, Lilith said, "I believe that you are all loyal ministers of this country and you all care about the kingdom. However, you are all so active and willing to sacrifice yourselves that it makes it difficult for me to make a decision. I believe that with all of you here, the kingdom will soon become great again."
In any case, the compliments had to be given to these nobles first. Sure enough, when these nobles heard Her Majesty the Queen praising them, both the new and old parties showed somewhat smug looks.
"So I decided to only give out some of these places for now, and give the remaining places to those who are truly willing to care about the kingdom."
Then Lilith called out the names of several nobles, and those nobles all showed ecstatic expressions on their faces. They said that they would immediately arrange the population migration after leaving the palace and would definitely live up to His Majesty's trust.
As Marcel looked at these nobles, he understood Lilith's thoughts a little. Although there were people from both the New Party and the Old Party among these nobles, they all had one thing in common, that is, they were relatively close to the North. At least they were not the nobles who were eager to take back the North, or use other forces to balance the North.
Because of this, the Old Party even has more seats than the New Party. After all, the conservatives of the Old Party originally hoped to fight against the demons together with the North.
Then Her Majesty the Queen's future administrative policies are very clear. It is unlikely that the North will be actually taken back, but more cooperation can be carried out with the North.
As for the remaining places, they are to encourage the nobles to work in this direction. Thinking of this, Marcel felt relieved. He would get this place sooner or later. After all, he was the leader of the Old Party and also a conservative. Although he was not conspicuous before, it was because Marcel needed to balance the forces within the Old Party, but now he didn't need that.
Marcel glanced at the nobles around him, and sure enough, the conservative nobles were all smiling and giving each other eye hints.
Claire looked at the treaty in Nora's hand with gritted teeth.
Not to mention anything else, just this one thing in Nora's hand is enough to help Lilith control most of the nobles.
After all, whether it's the new party or the old party, most of the nobles are still driven by interests, and Lilith has enough interests in her hands now.
There is no need for balance anymore. As long as Lilith holds these interests in her hands, she can control most of the nobles.
Most of the nobles have no loyalty and are only interested in profit, which now becomes Lilith's advantage.
But up to this point, Claire could still understand the governor's thoughts to some extent. Replenishing the population and opening up trade were actually normal operations. It was just that the governor chose an approach that was more in line with Her Majesty the Queen.
It doesn't matter. This policy is only aimed at the nobles, and the great nobles at that. It will not only not improve the economy of the royal capital, but will also cause more people to move to the north.
This only barely solved the problem in the southwest, and was far from achieving the policy effect of the rumor-mongering. The capital and Her Majesty the Queen were still very poor.
Claire guessed that Lilith would definitely make a black glove and use the trade certificate to make money, but with only one black glove, how could she possibly earn more than those nobles? For the bottomless pit of the capital's reform, this income was still not enough, let alone reviving the glory of the capital. In the long run, this would even make some nobles too rich and powerful, causing the situation in the capital to be unbalanced.
This might even cause those nobles to turn to the North. Perhaps this was the real intention of the Northern Governor.
Claire kept comforting herself in her heart. After adjusting her mentality, Claire looked at Prime Minister Nora who was turning the page of the treaty and preparing to read the next page.
Does this Northern Governor dare to go even further?
