Blackstone Code

In the rest room sat a prisoner who was about to go to jail and a socialite. According to the rules, they should not be allowed to meet without guards, but at this moment, no matter whether it was the judge or the bailiff or anyone, they were worried about this. no comment.

Lynch is a guest of the governor and a friend of their entire family. Coupled with Lynch's own powerful position, no one will be unhappy at this time.

"I have arranged everything inside for you. You don't need to worry too much. Just think of it as giving yourself a holiday." Lynch gave Old Fox a cigarette, and the two people's heads came together, and soon the smoke Surrounded.

Old Fox glanced at the fading butt of his cigarette and looked at Lynch, "Five-star hotel?"

Lynch smiled and nodded, "Five-star hotel!"

There are many advantages in prison. There is actually not much difference between what people such as political prisoners and financial prisoners can enjoy inside and outside. Apart from not having much freedom, it may not be torture for them.

Especially after Lynch arranged everything, Adelaide also greeted the local prison. As long as the warden is not mentally ill, he should know what to do.

Separate bright cells, at least on the second floor, have independent large windows and good ventilation.

A soft bed, at least two pillows, a radio and a TV, a separate breakfast every morning and a daily morning newspaper, and you don't even need to work!

In order to take care of old Fox's age, just yesterday the Brothers Grimm sent six young people in their twenties to live in it through some means.

These people's crimes are not serious, and they are all held for two or three years. When the time is about the same, they will arrange for new people to go in.

These people act as Old Fox's subordinates and thugs inside, ensuring that Old Fox will not be threatened or even harmed by other prisoners. After all, the prison is a relatively closed environment, and outside influence cannot completely affect the bottom level.

If someone really wants to be famous or something, let alone Lynch's name, even the governor's name won't work.

In addition to these, he can still be released from prison for a few days each quarter. The reason is that Old Fox has severe and multiple chronic diseases and must go to the hospital for convalescence and treatment.

Of course, there will be dedicated people following Old Fox during this process to ensure that he doesn't run away halfway or anything else. Apart from not being so free, the difference between the inside and the outside is actually not that big.

"Please take good care of my stupid son..." Old Fox flicked the ash from his cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Lynch with slightly cloudy eyes.

Lin Qi nodded solemnly, "As long as I'm here, there won't be any chaos."

Old Fox took two puffs of cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up, raised his foot and stamped out the cigarette butt, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."

Lynch then stood up and walked him for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched him being put on the car to the prison by the bailiff.

The last "problem" has been wiped away with the imprisonment of Foxx, and Lynch can breathe a sigh of relief.

…

A few days later, Soren came to visit Lynch again. This time he not only came by himself, but also brought two people with him.

"These two are important staff members of His Excellency the Governor. Your Excellency the Governor is very interested in your proposal, but wants to know more. At the same time, he entrusted me to tell you that he is looking forward to your next meeting."

Sauron did not avoid the fact that he was useless. If Governor Seder hadn't really been unable to leave Amelia, he might have come over to talk to Lynch.

He conveyed Lynch's three previous requests to Governor Seder, who was not furious or anything after hearing this. Controlling emotions is only the most basic quality of a ruler. He will not be like his nominal emperor cousin. , unable to get angry at every turn.

Of course, I only think about this kind of thing in private and will never say it out loud.

The province of Amelia is so corrupt that it has indeed reached the point where it must be reflected on. It is undeniable that there are indeed external forces involved. If Governor Seder does not know that Lynch and other federal people have stirred up the situation in this region, then he This governor is really in vain.

But it is precisely because he knows that he needs to reflect.

The Amelia region is destined to be a different place from the mainland!

Some things cannot be treated according to past experience, just like the way they treat mobs. The federal people did a good job in Nagaril, and maybe they can learn something from these people.

After discussing with the country, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor agreed to make Amelia an "exception". They could try to change their governance methods to prepare for having more colonies and even more territories far away from the mainland in the future.

Sauron has been quiet these days, just waiting for the two staff, who will negotiate some important issues with Lynch on behalf of Governor Seder.

After a brief exchange of greetings with the two of them, they sat down separately.

"Mr. Lynch, I believe your time is also valuable. Let's try to avoid unnecessary pleasantries and get to the point. How about it?" The staff member said it very directly. Lin Qi naturally wouldn't object, and he didn't like it either. Those unnecessary courtesies are a waste of time.

With his approval, the first and second staff members took out their notebooks and pens. At the same time, the first staff member asked, "Mr. Lynch, regarding the first of your three requests, please let go completely." How 'complete' is the market in the province of Amelia?"

Lynch answered the question directly without thinking too much, "The government does not intervene in market changes at all. This is complete liberalization. Everything has a free economy to freely regulate the market."

The two staff members quickly took notes. After a while, the first staff member continued to ask, "If we completely liberalize the market, how can we ensure that the local people's livelihood will not be affected by capital and become an area that reaps benefits?"

"The local industry is almost completely at a standstill. If we allow merchants to import daily necessities from other places, the prices of these goods will inevitably be much higher than people's psychological prices. How to solve this problem?"

Lynch felt a little strange after hearing this. He couldn't help but ask, "No offense, are the prices of local commodities in Gefra controlled by the official?"

The second staff member nodded, "Not entirely, Mr. Lynch. We have set a price limit for daily necessities, including but not limited to food, wine, and commodities necessary for daily life..."

The monarchical country of Gaevra is somewhat surprising in some aspects. Lynch did not know that this was actually related to some things that had happened in the past.

The businessmen or capital forces in Gaevra's history did not succumb to power as soon as they appeared. Those capitalists also tried to challenge secular power.

They conspired to purchase a large amount of grain from the lords and then raised the price of grain, causing prices to fluctuate abnormally in many places and affecting people's lives.

In this case, the nobles' methods were simple and barbaric. They killed a large number of merchants and then set the price of commodities such as grain. They gave a price at which they thought the merchants could make some profits without giving up trading and transportation. .

This set of rules and regulations has continued to this day. Although there is no clear legal document, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Some things are not to be touched, and merchants know this, so they retrieve them from elsewhere.

"Distorted market relations!" Lynch gave a very pertinent evaluation, and then he began to answer the question, "What do you think is the ultimate goal of capital?"

The first and second staffers looked at each other, and the first staffer answered the question, "Fortune, Mr. Lynch."

Lynch nodded noncommittally and took out a cigarette, which meant that he was going to teach these people, "Do you mind?"

After getting the reply that they didn't mind, he lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said calmly and confidently, "Yes, wealth, but how to pursue wealth?"

"It's very simple. Make low-cost raw materials into products and sell them to people at a higher price. After all costs are removed, the price difference is the profit."

"The market will regulate itself. If something is expensive, it won't be sold. You don't need to worry about the impact of high prices on people's livelihood. You should worry about how to prevent competition from worsening..."

Lynch said with a smile on his face, "It seems that the merchants in Gafra have not experienced this kind of fierce competition. I am looking forward to their expressions!"

Because there are bound to be nobles of all sizes standing behind the Gevra merchants - not counting small merchants and hawkers, there are nobles standing behind those groups that can truly be called capital.

This also means that the competition between capitals eventually becomes a competition between aristocratic groups, and the competition between aristocrats is often more civilized. For example, there is a tacit understanding of who will do what business.

There is no competition in this kind of tacit business. The capitalists only need to do the relevant transactions according to the requirements of the nobles, and they don't need to worry too much about anyone breaking the rules.

Over the years, there may have been some people who were unwilling to abide by the rules, but these people eventually disappeared in the long river of history.

Once the market is completely liberalized, Gefra's capitalists will definitely not be opponents of the federal people, at least in terms of business competition.

Several people then discussed the second and third items proposed by Lynch, which are related to the construction and use of some sensitive public facilities and resources.

Through conversations with the first and second staff, Lynch roughly understood Governor Seder's idea. They want to build Amelia into a experimental zone. It can even be said that this is a revolution!

Gefra's system is somewhat backward. Perhaps their domestic nobles have realized this problem. In less than two years of competition with the Federation, they found themselves lagging behind.

A sense of crisis began to emerge, and they began to think about understanding the enemy and themselves.

If necessary, Lynch felt that they might even change from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. He was excited when he thought that he might participate in such an interesting change.

The man who pushes the world towards the future!
