Just after February, most of the central region of the Rodinia Continent had already seen the snow and ice lt away, and all things were beginning to revive.
But the farrs did not feel any bit of happiness.
Last year was a warm winter, allowing many pests that couldn’t survive the cold to make it through. The early arrival of spring also disrupted their farming schedule, affecting the harvest.
It is foreseeable that the food production in 1792 will inevitably decrease, but the lords’ taxes will not reduce even by a penny.
Many people are destined not to survive this year.
Roland has been away from Val City for more than a month.
He knows Sachalin is biting his teeth, eagerly waiting for him to co to Val City for a bear hug, so he simply doesn’t go.
He lacks neither the courage to face challenges head-on nor the wisdom to avoid enemy’s sharp edges.
In the past month or so, Roland has not been idle, he has done many things.
Mr. Tony indeed has ability; in a small place like Val City, he’s sowhat overqualified.
He and Roland discussed for a long ti and formulated long-term and short-term developnt plans for the Three Overseas Provinces.
Roland has grown a bit more admiration for Tony; he is also the person Roland has appointed as the candidate for Minister of Internal Affairs in his mind.
It’s just a sha that he is too honest, really unsuitable for the role of Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister should be soone more slick, like William or Alben.
Roland did not know that his image in Tony’s heart was also changing.
Initially, Tony’s understanding of him was similar to other Rodinians, as a pretty face.
The difference in their understanding of Roland was just the prefix adjective for pretty face.
So people consider Roland to be a treacherous pretty face, so say a cunning pretty face, so say a vicious pretty face...
After interacting with Roland, Tony’s impression of him changed greatly.
Tony saw the broad prospects in the blueprint drawn by Roland.
Roland’s ambition is not just to find a foothold on the continent, but to make Sussex a true world dominator.
"Let the White Rose flag fly in every ti zone around the world; the noonday sun will always shine on the Empire’s territory."
Roland said this calmly, yet it excited Tony imnsely.
The world cannot accommodate two super empires.
Now the territory of Sussex spans fifteen ti zones, just like the Vladimir Empire.
Compared to Sussex’s relatively graceful consumption, Tony hates the Rurik who directly destroyed rules, causing the disappearance of his holand more.
Mr. Tony, bearing the title of Deputy Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, does the work of Minister of Internal Affairs, clearly becoming one of the Empress’ most trusted ministers.
Yet other officials did not resist him too much.
After all, Tony has a lower rank than them, initial performance points starting at zero, a much lower starting line.
As long as they do their work well, they will not fall behind.
Roland had long warned them that the Governor’s Territory encourages benign competition, but does not allow undermining each other.
If anyone engages in malicious competition, ostracizing colleagues, what awaits him is a significant deduction of performance points.
Performance points are practically the lifeblood of these people now.
Especially those like Ados, who are among the few whose performance points are close to the Baron level, are more proactive in working overti every day, fearing to miss any opportunity to accomplish.
They are the frontrunners, naturally having no need to envy Tony lagging behind.
Although Tony is honest, he has worked in Val City for so many years, not lacking in the dexterous deftness of long sleeves.
He places himself in the correct position, keeping his performance points tightly, neither lagging nor considering surpass anyone.
As long as the master is followed correctly, there will be opportunities in the future.
With the promised gold from the Magic Association delivered, a batch of new coins was minted in the Governor’s Territory.
This gold coin, featuring Emperor Sussex as its portrait, was crafted exquisitely with excellent quality, and upon launch was t with universal praise.
Many of these gold coins flowed back to the mainland with the trade fleet and were laid on the Cabinet eting table.
Looking at these flawless gold coins, the Cabinet Ministers fell into silence.
If Sylph minted gold coins with her portrait, it would indicate she was shortsighted, frivolous and impatient, hard to achieve greatness.
If Sylph minted gold coins with her father’s portrait, though reasonable, the vision is small.
However, Sylph chose Emperor Sussex’s portrait for coin minting.
The last batch of gold coins with Emperor Sussex as the portrait was 135 years ago.
So far back that those gold coins have beco collectibles.
William held the shiny gold coin, leaving only a long sigh.
Wald looked at the gold coin and was overjoyed, he naturally understood Sif’s intention in doing so.
This is an open strategy, and declaration of determination.
What she wants is not to be an ordinary monarch like her father, but to accomplish great feats like Emperor Sussex.
Alben squinted at the gold coin, thoughtful.
As an old actor, of course, he wouldn’t show any signs, but internally felt relieved.
He can sense Sif’s enormous progress.
Compared to the political idiot who knew nothing back then, now Sif increasingly has the aura of an Empress.
He also feels fortunate to secretly connect with the Imperial Faction.
Don’t be fooled by the current Cabinet faction’s grasp on power, but all these powers are granted by the Emperor.
When Sif retrieves the power, however high standing now, then will fall however harshly.
Unless powerful military force is used to coerce Sif into compliance.
Alben squinted and stared for a long ti, turned to the Chief of Military Intelligence, softly asked: "What has His Majesty and her little lover been busy with lately?"
"They seem to rarely leave the Governor’s Mansion." The Chief of Military Intelligence whispered.
This ti not only Alben was surprised, but even William was stunned.
"Not doing anything?"
"Not exactly, they just rarely leave the Governor’s Mansion, yet have pushed through quite a few policies."
