"I want Renas's engineering team to build a private train station at the fastest speed on the periphery of the Howling Forest, where there must be a special train specifically for the train station!"

Donald's first request at an internal meeting sounded irrelevant to changing Renas's status quo.

"Are you going to develop the Howling Forest? Please forgive me for taking the liberty...I don't think this is a good idea."

Huxley immediately guessed his plan for Donald's request, but thought of it did not mean that he agreed.

It is true that according to the laws of the Ryan Empire, the nobles have the power to develop some unowned resources in their controlled areas nearby. Although the city of Renas controlled by Sewit Taros does not cover the Howling Forest, at the same time, no other nobles' territory includes this forest. After all, it is too big.

This means that although the Howling Forest is currently a land belonging to the Imperial Government, it is a resource that is unparalleled to some extent. After all, the Imperial Government has never thought about it and has no chance to develop it.

Huxley admitted that the area of ​​Howling Forest, which is larger than the entire city of Renas, is very rich in wood or other resources. If it can be developed, it can create a large number of jobs in a short time and drive the development of certain industries at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, with Donald's current status, if you want to develop the Howling Forest, you don't need to obtain anyone's consent. If you have special resources, you will report to the Earl's family in Dongde County and just go through the process.

But it is not without reason why no one dared to develop the Howling Forest for so long. The various legends in this forest and the adventure teams that go but never return are enough to prove that this forest is protected by some mysterious force.

How easy is it to develop it?

Not to mention that building private railway stations, laying rails and other projects requires a lot of money. With the current financial situation of Renas City, if the money is invested in this, urban construction may be in a dilemma.

If you find that the Howling Forest cannot be developed after it is built, the money will be completely wasted and you cannot make a profit at all. In the end, it will be a huge loss!

"I dare not say anything else. I know more about the situation in the Howling Forest than any of you. It will become the biggest capital for Renas to turn over, and you just need to cooperate with me."

If Donald didn't even know his true base camp, he wouldn't think of anything else he could know. The resources accumulated by that forest over the years are real, and what he lacks is just development with clear goals!

“Of course, your opinion shall prevail.”

Huxley glanced at the people next to him, only Victor had the same doubts on his face. The others took it for granted for this unrealistic decision, which made him quickly realize something, and made a brief record in his notebook with a strange expression, without any refutation.

"The most important thing next is people's livelihood. The two items I just mentioned at the meeting are obviously not enough. I need a practical plan to improve the people's sense of belonging to Renas City in a short period of time, rather than being hostile to Renas government like enemies like now, which will cause great resistance to our next plan."

When Donald said this, he looked at Victor. He knew that Victor had been thinking about this for the past two years, and now it was the time for him to show his strength.

If reforms are to be made, people must win the hearts of the people. If the people do not believe in the government at all, then no matter how much effort the latter makes, it will be futile.

What's more, Renas is in a situation where he may collapse at any time. It is unrealistic to use policies to force the public to make changes.

Donald doesn't want the reform to begin, and the lower-class people first bring a big riot for themselves, and Renas can't afford such consequences.

"I have referred to the current situation of many first-tier cities in the Ryan Empire. In terms of system, I think it is completely feasible to imitate the laws of cities that have been tested by the people. Recently, I have sorted out some plans. The first thing I need to reduce is the tax imposed on the city of Renas, and the second is to increase the treatment of people... I understand that Renas is incomparable with those cities that are developing and prosperous, and it is even more impossible to imitate their welfare system immediately. So my idea is to temporarily have a limited change and improvement within a certain range. The people of Renas are actually at the bottom of the valley. The expectations for the government are very low. At this time, any changes that are beneficial to them can achieve a good response in a short period of time..."

Victor had to look at Donald's expression every time he said a few words. Although there was a agreement between them, after learning that these people had actually destroyed all the guards besides the housekeeper and killed them and replaced them, he was involuntarily frightened when facing the brand new Sevit Taros in front of him.

Therefore, now I only dare to choose some of my own plans for the relatively gentle content of the capitalists and nobles in Renas City, and I was afraid that the other party would suddenly repent and terminate the contract.

After all, they have changed from challengers to vested interests, and different positions will naturally change their ideas.

"Victor, your plan is too conservative. What I want is drastic reforms. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Donald found that Victor proposed some irrelevant plans. He knew that he had some concerns, so he took the initiative to say,

"Renas still has too many disadvantages and cancers. I don't have so much time to waste with them. Now several notorious families in Renas have been destroyed by me. The government is under my control. From tomorrow on, I will order them to cooperate with our reforms in the name of the mayor. What I need is a bold enough plan because I am determined to clear the obstacles that block Renas's path forward in the shortest time."

In Donald's view, as long as the reform begins, it will definitely not be a harmonious situation for everyone. One or more parties must make sacrifices...

Donald doesn't want to sacrifice himself, so he naturally has to find a way to sacrifice others.

"I understand. Please give me two days, and I will give you a brand new plan."

Victor was a little excited to hold the pen in his hand. He was preparing for so long in Renas, for such an opportunity?

Now the opportunity is in front of him, what else can hesitate about?

"Huxley, when it comes to the families we destroyed before, have their property been collected?"

Donald turned around and asked, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

"I have confiscated all the ownerless property in the name of the government. The inventory work has not been completed yet. It seems that the amount is quite large at present. Those families have nearly 30% of Renas' wealth..."

These are all the core family that depended on the former Sevet Taros. To put it bluntly, Renas and others are the most powerful family under the Taros family, and it is inevitable to seize social resources on a large scale.

But now they all belong to Donald, and in a sense they are also considered to be the original owner, after all, the entire city of Renas belongs to him.

"The gold pounds or other non-fixed property stored in their warehouses are all invested in the subsequent urban construction. As for the factories and other miscellaneous shops under the names of these families, they are all included in my name and organized into a large company. The reform begins here!"

If it were the former Servet Taros, he would definitely gather the wealth in his hands and refused to expel the slightest. However, Donald's current idea is exactly the opposite of him. Since he has decided to build Renas as another base camp besides Howling Forest, it is worth it to spend much money!

Huxley looked at the young man sitting in front of him who was squandering money like soil and was full of energy. He once again realized the courage and confidence that the other party conveyed all the time.

Donald's approach is very similar to the plan he had considered privately before, but it could not be achieved at that time because of the obstruction of Sevit Taros, but now it has become "Severet Taros" who fully support those ideas that sounded undoubtedly harming their own interests in their ex.

"An extremely wise decision."
