Magic Underachiever
Chapter 283: Carrot and Stick
Speaker Peters couldn't figure out which link was wrong. How could a priest of the Church of the Good, who had two nightmares of hell, perform divine arts? But at this time, Father Titus was enveloped by the light of "divine power", and the prayer he chanted seemed to come from the sky.
No wonder Duncan's report did not receive any response, but instead attracted a large-scale hunt for heretics in the Azure Cathedral. In the face of such divine power and divine arts, no one would doubt Father Titus.
Now Speaker Peters has no handle on the priest, but he has been caught by Master Liang.
After Father Titus finished praying, Daliang and Speaker Peters whispered together: "May George rest in peace."
Then the initiative of this meeting fell into Daliang's hands.
With two nightmares as insiders, Daliang knew very well the activities of Speaker Peters and the Church of Gazing into the Abyss. In the past, the Marcellus Council did not cause trouble for him, and Daliang was too lazy to pay attention to them. Now Peters is actually doing something behind the scenes, so of course Da Liang has to give these unruly guys a good beating.
Leaving Peters alone for a while, Da Liang said to Father Titus: "We recently conducted a survey on the east coast of the dock magic academy and found that it is an excellent port. So I want to expand the academy's dock to open a research institute for ships and oceans.
I hope the priest can help me contact the Holy See of Goodness to order dock equipment and a batch of cargo ships for scientific research.
After the steel plant jointly built by my Black Fire Company and the Whitehead family is put into production, I want to build another shipyard. I want to entrust the Holy See of Goodness to build the entire shipyard. If the Holy See can distribute some warship drawings and rent me a group of skilled shipbuilders, it will be even better."
Father Titus didn't expect that Master Liang called him here this time to discuss business. In addition, this also made the priest realize that Master Liang really didn't regard the Holy See of Goodness as an enemy. Once such a large-scale engineering project is publicly tendered, there will be many people competing for it, but Master Liang directly gave it to the Holy See of Goodness.
At the same time, the priest also knew that Master Liang was paving the way for himself. Although the last arsenal incident did not cause the Holy See to suffer too much loss, it was also ruined by Father Titus. This time, he was able to pull such a large project, which would definitely restore his evaluation in the Presbytery of the Holy See.
He was one step closer to becoming the Bishop of the Azure Cathedral.
Titus said, "No problem, Master Liang. The Holy See will be very happy to get such a large project... If I can really become the Bishop of the Azure Cathedral in the future, I will definitely do my best to thank you."
Speaker Peters listened quietly on the side.
The steel mill plus the shipyard are obviously eyeing the super large order of the new fleet of the Imperial Navy. It's just that the steel mill is easy to build. After all, the Empire has equipment and workers. It can produce steel by choosing a good place to build a factory, but can anyone build a warship?
As an inland country, it is difficult for the Vlomink Empire to build a cargo ship that can sail on the ocean, and it is impossible to build a warship. Moreover, the entire shipbuilding system cannot be established by renting a group of ship workers, so Master Liang's idea of building a shipyard is simply a fantasy.
However...what if he and Marquis Whitehead teamed up to embezzle the imperial shipbuilding funds?
It is very likely!
And now, getting through the current crisis is the most important thing.
Speaker Peters seized the opportunity and said, "If Master Liang wants to build a shipyard, plus a steel plant, it will solve the employment problems of many people. The Marcellus Parliament will definitely support it with all its strength. I will urge the Saroyan City Hall to give Blackfire Company more tax incentives and open a green channel to allow your factory to be built as soon as possible.
The future Saroyan City will surely be more prosperous because of the existence of Blackfire Company."
Seeing that Speaker Peters had come to his senses, Daliang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Speaker... But my company is still being investigated by the Saroyan City Hall. The money is frozen and the equipment cannot be bought.
During this period, I will accompany Father Titus to catch the heretics lurking in Saroyan City. With this credit, you will definitely become the bishop of the Azure Cathedral, and then I will have a big backer here."
"No..." How could Speaker Peters let Master Liang catch heretics, and he couldn't let him reveal too much in court. He said: "Although arresting heretics is important, steel mills and shipyards are more important to Saroyan. I believe that the Azure Cathedral will soon find the heretics, so Master Liang, you should dedicate your wisdom to the city of Saroyan.
The accusation against you by the City Hall of Saroyan is simply an insult and slander to an upright gentleman. Blackfire Company is so rich, does it need to cheat money? Only people with a donkey kicking their heads will believe such ridiculous accusations.
The Marcellus Parliament immediately imposed the most severe punishment and training on the relevant personnel. I want everyone to know that Master Liang and I are friends, and Blackfire Company is a star enterprise that Saroyan focuses on supporting!"
Peters had no choice but to do this. Withdraw the accusation against Master Liang and let Blackfire Company build steel mills and shipyards. As for the reaction of the Lux Consortium, we can only take one step at a time. Anyway, the Lux Consortium has no way to make him step down.
Daliang was very satisfied with Speaker Peters' response. He asked his attendant to fill Peters' glass with red wine, then picked up his own grape juice and said, "Mr. Speaker, you are a very shrewd politician. At this time, I want to make my attitude clear to you. I am a businessman, a pure businessman, without any political stance.
I can cooperate with the Whitehead family, the Holy See, and the merchants of Marcellus.
In the future, my Blackfire Company and the "University Alliance" will have a lot of high-tech inventions, and I will build more factories. I like to make money with friends who are willing to make money, so don't regard me as your enemy. "
Speaker Peters raised his glass and looked at Daliang, and found that he should re-recognize the rising leader of the consortium in front of him. Peters has always regarded Daliang as a member of the Fleming Empire, and the Blackfire Company is the vanguard of the Empire to attack the local capital of Marcellus. But now it seems... it seems to be wrong.
Because the other party knows his relationship with the Concentrated Abyss, if Master Liang is really a member of the Empire, he can severely damage the Marcellus Parliament by exposing himself. But he didn't do this...
Then Master Liang's position is very delicate. He is close to the Fleming Empire, but not as close as imagined, so the Parliament has the opportunity to win him over.
Speaker Peters took the initiative to clink glasses with Daliang, and then asked: "Does Master Liang have any good cooperation projects now? The Marcellus Parliament is willing to cooperate with you."
Da Liang smiled and said, "I have a fixed-wing aircraft development project... Is the Speaker interested in participating?"
