"The third way is to hand over the land and invest in my property with funds, and I will pay dividends to you after my property becomes profitable." Sean explained simply.
"Wait a minute, what is 'shareholding'?" A nobleman raised his hand and asked.
"Uh..." Sean then remembered that there was no concept of "shareholding system" in this world, and patiently explained:
"'Being a shareholder' means investing part of the gold coins in my direct industry. After my direct industry makes a profit, I will share the profits with you according to the amount of gold coins you put out..."
In the next ten minutes, Sean explained the operation of the "joint-stock system" to these nobles in detail and answered their various questions.
Finally, Sean concluded: "If there are any families who are unwilling to transform into industry, agriculture, or commerce or are afraid of failure in transformation, they can try this path."
After Sean finished speaking, he took out a glass of ice water from the [Dimensional Backpack] to moisten his throat and sighed slightly.
In fact, Sean didn't want to talk so much nonsense with these nobles, but there was really no other way.
If the aristocrats and landlords of Yohn City were eliminated like in Rhode Island, although they could obtain a large amount of property and all the land in the Yohn area, this would definitely trigger a crazy counterattack by the aristocrats and landlords of the entire continent.
I can't bear the strength.
Now through reform, these nobles are forced to transform themselves from mere "social worms" to a direction that is conducive to the development of social productivity. This is the best reform method that Sean can think of.
.
The nobles present started talking one after another:
"The third way seems very good!"
"It's quite good. Our family can collect taxes well, and no one has a business mind. Giving the gold coins to His Highness Sean's property is a better choice!"
"His Highness Sean's industries are all gold industries with very high development potential, such as soap, paper, and artillery. If you can invest, you will definitely make a profit!"
"I have decided that our family will choose this path!"
.
Some nobles were still hesitant and said to Sean in the sky: "Your Highness Sean, our family is not all decided by me. We also need the consent of the family elders. Can you give us a little more time to get serious?"
Consider it?"
Sean felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he looked towards the noble who spoke.
After a quick look, I discovered that this nobleman turned out to be the slave trader Sebastian Wells!
Sean was quite impressed by him. After all, his wife and the Marquis of Rivers, ah no, had affairs with many people...
So Sean nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll give everyone here a week to think about it, and you can slowly analyze the pros and cons.
Okay, let’s stop here today. Goodbye everyone, I look forward to your good news!”
After hearing Sean's words, the dignitaries of Yoen City who were present raised their heads and saluted Sean to say goodbye, and left the Golden Wolf King's Castle with a heavy heart.
.
After seeing off these nobles, with Anduin leading the way, Sean led Vivian towards the room in the castle where the Marquis of Rivers was imprisoned.
As they walked, Sean also said to Vivian: "Did you hear what I just said?"
"Yeah." Vivian nodded, her eyes full of confusion.
Sean patted her shoulder and said softly: "Like Morgan, I will also find ways to support your family as a 'model' for other nobles. Your father and sister will definitely not be pardoned.
From now on, the Hehe family will be supported by you alone."
"I...I will work hard." Although Vivian said this, her head lowered, looking very unconfident.
Sean rubbed Vivian's little head, and then led her into the room where the Marquis of River was imprisoned.
.
At this time, the Marquis of River was firmly tied to his seat, and his fighting spirit was completely locked up by the orange cat.
Now he has just woken up and is frowning as he recalls what happened before he fell into coma.
Seeing Anduin walking into his room first, and following Anduin was none other than Sean, the Marquis of Rivers instantly understood:
"Anduin, it turns out that you are deceiving me in all this! You have no intention of establishing your own business, right?"
The anger in Marquis River's eyes was blazing. If his eyes were lethal, Anduin would have been able to hold up [Power Word Shield] long ago.
"Correct answer! It's a pity that there is no reward." Anduin smiled slightly, then looked behind him: "My lord and I will bring you an important person. We hope that you can completely transfer the rights of the River Family to her."
"She? Female? Could it be Jessica? I've noticed something was wrong with Jessica a long time ago, but I didn't expect that she would betray me! Even if I die, I will not hand over my family's rights to...etc.
Wait, you...are you Vivian?"
Only then did the Marquis of River realize that the girl who walked out from behind Sean was not Jessica, but his "dead" daughter Vivian. The anger in his heart disappeared instantly, leaving only shock.
"Vivian, you...are you still alive?" Marquis River's voice began to tremble involuntarily, and then his entire upper body began to tremble. He stared at Vivian with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Dad!" Vivian also cried and rushed over.
.
Sean originally wanted to inform the Marquis of Rivers of the current situation and ask him to give up as soon as possible and stop causing trouble for himself by escaping.
Seeing this scene, Sean didn't know what to say. He could only sigh and pulled Anduin out of Marquis River's room: "Let her talk about Vivian herself."
"Okay." Anduin didn't say anything and followed Sean out of the room.
The two of them sat in the small living room outside the room.
Being bored, they began to discuss other topics casually.
From the skills of using the Holy Light, to the experience of managing the territory, the subsequent development of Yonn City, and even some gossips between Khadgar and Windsor, the two of them talked about everything.
More than twenty minutes later, Vivian walked out of the room, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Your Highness Sean, Your Excellency Anduin." Vivian bowed to the two of them: "My father has agreed to completely hand over the family's rights to me."
"That's good." Sean breathed a sigh of relief: "Vivian, you can go and rest first...or you can continue to see your father or sister. We will have a meeting after dinner to discuss the future development of York City.
.”
"Okay, Your Highness Sean." Vivian replied.
.
.
Today is August 18th.
Sean's side took the city of Yohn peacefully.
Khadgar is about to witness a large-scale war that is destined to be recorded in the history of Lion.
Today is the day when Ryan's army sets out to conquer Wind's Breath City.
Khadgar stood on the spire of the Holy Light Church in Oran City, staring at the soldiers heading off in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
But at this moment, a dexterous figure appeared from the shadows like a civet cat, slipped through the window and entered the church, causing only a very small ripple.
Chapter completed!
