My Italian: Chapter 108 Difficulty giving birth to Governor Lanfang
"Your Majesty, you don't need to send it any more."
"Alright then, goodbye Mr. Pederson."
"Goodbye, Your Majesty."
He waved to the Minister of Transportation who boarded the carriage, and Carlo returned to the palace against the sunset.
"Captain of the guard, go get busy."
"As ordered, Your Majesty."
Carlo, who returned to the office, after sending everyone away, sat on the sofa tiredly and closed his eyes.
He has seen too many people these days. Talking to these old foxes, he has to deal with it mentally. He can still cope with one or two games, but when there are too many people, Carlo is naturally exhausted physically and mentally. After all, people's energy is limited.
Suddenly a pair of jade hands gently pressed on Carlo's forehead, smelling the familiar aroma, Carlo knew who it was without opening his eyes.
"Nia, why are you here?"
Nia, who was more and more radiant, looked at him with love. "It's not because you've been busy these days, so I'm concerned about you."
The concern from Nia made Carlo look energetic, hugged him in front of him, and looked at each other.
"Thank you, my Nia cares, as a king, this is what I should do."
"By the way, I've seen so many people come here these days. What's the reason?"
Seeing Nia with a curious face, Carlo decided to satisfy the other's curiosity.
"Isn't this taking over the colony of Kalimantan? These ministers who smell something are eager to get involved."
Carlo did not finish, because there is another reason, that is, he is about to come of age, and his power will also increase greatly, and many ministers also know this, so except for a small number, others are trying to release goodwill.
Of course, in this one, it is also necessary to seek some benefits for the forces behind him, because the decision of the first Italian Governor of Borneo is currently in the hands of Carlo.
Of course, these people didn't have any idea of the candidate for the governor, because they also knew that this position would definitely be held by someone from the king's faction, and they were more vying for the various departments of the colonial government.
Don't underestimate these departments, as overseas colonies, the oil and water in these departments must be much richer. With the power in hand, as long as you tilt a little bit in a certain direction, it is a huge wealth.
You must know that this is the first batch of officials, and the profits involved are extremely huge.
According to the estimates of the Italian government, the value of various minerals and cash crops in Lanfang is as high as more than one billion lire. If you add a large colony from the Netherlands, the value is even more astonishing. Although such a large amount of wealth has been occupied by local Chinese, the profits are still amazing. After all, Lanfang's territory has been invaded to only a small area in the lower reaches of the Kunjiang River, and the rest are the Dutch who have withdrawn. of.
Such a large territory naturally has various minerals and planting industries. Although these places currently have owners, I believe that these people are psychologically prepared to sell these industries.
And Italian domestic capital can't wait to become a buyer. That's why so many people visit Carlo, His Majesty the King. After all, he is the loyal object of the army. At present, this Italian colony is still under the jurisdiction of the military and needs to wait for the government to send officials to receive it.
However, these are not the problems for Carlo. His bigger problem is that he is in trouble in the selection of the first governor.
That's right, although Carlo currently has the right to choose the first governor, it is difficult for him to choose the people he brings along.
Let's put it this way, there are not many people who can be qualified for the post of Governor, Carlo, and their abilities still need to be improved. Let’s put it this way, because the previous Sino-French war was won, people at the top of the government moved closer to him, and when the Dutch colony was won this time, officials began to turn to their monarchs, but among those who turned to themselves, they wanted to choose It's really not easy to come up with someone who lives up to your expectations.
The reason is very simple, Carlo has high requirements for this position. First of all, as the first colony in Italy (saying that the book friends in Somalia can retire), he needs to be able to adjust the relationship between the local indigenous Chinese and the Italians, because this colony Italy is reporting the idea of developing and making money. So it can't be cleaned up first, like other countries, which will reduce its revenue for a few years.
Of course, large-scale clean-up is not possible, but small-scale killing of chickens and monkeys is still possible.
However, in addition to these, the region also needs to undertake the task of a transit station from Italy to the Far East, which is also urgent. Because Italy's first shipment of goods to Qing has arrived at its destination, and lack of its own maintenance base, the use of facilities such as British docks in the area has caused merchants who were not very profitable to lose some expenses. It's okay for a short time, but it's annoying for a long time.
In addition, it is necessary to prepare to infiltrate the remaining Dutch colonies in Borneo. You must know that Italy only guarantees that it will not invade other islands in the Netherlands, but it does not say that it will not make small moves on Borneo~www.mtlnovel.com~ Of course, considering that the ink of the treaty has not yet been signed Go ahead, send someone to investigate and infiltrate first, it’s okay, after all, the remaining Dutch colonies in Borneo are vast and sparsely populated, and it’s not easy to catch these scurrying expeditions.
You see, with so many tasks, how high are the requirements for their abilities, that is, to coordinate ethnic disputes, develop the economy, build a port transfer station, and infiltrate the Dutch colonies. Official relationship, this is completely a trumpet prime minister.
At present, Carlo knows that there are no more than five people with this ability, and at least they are ministers in charge of one department, which makes Carlo find another one.
And these people couldn't say anything to a maid, so Carlo could only smile and open his mouth to Nia.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of these things."
"I know this. His Majesty Carlo is the most powerful. Nothing can trouble you."
Looking at Nia who looked at him with admiration, Carlo suddenly became playful and said with a stern face. "No, there's one thing that's bothering me."
The little maid who didn't know the truth asked curiously. "What is it that can be difficult for Your Majesty?"
"Having a baby, I can't do it."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you are so funny."
As Nia spoke, she couldn't help but quietly touched her smooth and flat belly with her hand.
Why is there no movement at all?
Not noticing Nia's small movements, Carlo hugged Nia and kissed him a few times.
"Okay, Nia, you go back first, and I'll see you later, okay?"
"Well, I'll give you a surprise then."
After sending Nia away, Carlo cheered up and prepared to continue to consider the issue of the governor's candidate.
