Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 14 I Borrowed Because of My Skills, Why Should I Pay It Back?
After talking about 911, John, Jamie and his son returned to the Yellowstone Ranch.

In the original drama, all the conflicts that broke out between the Yellowstone Ranch and the outside world were all related to land.

Developers covet this beautiful land and want to develop it into high-end residential areas and sell it to wealthy people.

The Dutton family was so overwhelmed that John later had to personally run for governor, trying to use political means to prevent outside developers from coveting the ranch land.

The fundamental reason is that there is simply no money to be made from running a ranch, especially a ranch with an area the size of Rhode Island.

The land tax alone is a heavy burden every year.

This is even if land prices are not raised by real estate developers as they wish.

But now, relying on cheating from space springs, Huangshi Ranch is making money as fast as turning on a money printing machine, and capital is accumulating as fast as a snowball.

As time goes by, Yellowstone Ranch's capital accumulation will only become more terrifying.

No matter which real estate developer takes a fancy to this land in the future, it will have to consider whether it has enough capital to start a war with the Dutton family.

It is even less feasible to use political means.

Montana is a traditional livestock state, and John, as the largest local landowner, is also the president of the Montana Livestock Association.

To put it bluntly, in this land of Montana, the governor is not as good as him.

And under Jamie's "spoiler", John had already started the layout early.

Supporting Lynelle Perry's political career is only the first step.

If necessary in the future, you can even do it in person.

Becoming the first man in the history of Montana and even the United States to serve as both a governor and a governor.

As long as there are no major problems in ranching operations, neither the political or business circles will be able to shake the Dutton family's status as the emperor of Montana.

The only thing that may cause trouble to the Dutton family is the land dispute with the indigenous people.

The current land of Yellowstone Ranch was presented to the ancestors of the Dutton family by the indigenous chief.

At that time, the two parties agreed that the Dutton family would return the land to the indigenous people after seven generations.

In other words, by the generation of Jamie’s nephew Ryan, the Yellowstone Ranch will have to be returned to the indigenous people.

However, this agreement was only verbal. Both the ancestors of the Dutton family and the aboriginal chiefs had the same plan in mind.

Believe in the wisdom of future generations!
The situation of the Aboriginal people at that time was that even if they did not lend the land to the Dutton family, they would not be able to keep the land themselves.

Not only cannot it be saved, but it is also very likely that these lands will lead to death.

The white Americans of that era used even black people as farm tools, let alone the indigenous peoples.

The dead aborigines are the best aborigines.

Although it is not written in the Constitution, suppressing indigenous peoples has always been a basic national policy of the United States.

To do otherwise is to admit that one is an intruder and that possession of the land is illegal.

Even if various affirmative movements arise in later generations, the indigenous people are still the forgotten people.

Their figures could neither be seen nor their voices heard.

Just as the aboriginal chief in the original drama who was ambitious and wanted to regain his ancestral land said, if aborigines want to live well on this land, they must give up being aborigines.

The same goes for the Dutton family ancestors.

The so-called agreement to return the land to the indigenous people after seven generations is just to occupy this land in a more reasonable and hassle-free manner.

According to the repressive policy of the United States towards the aborigines at that time, it is still a question whether these aborigines will still exist seven generations later.

Besides, why should we pay back the land we borrowed based on our ability?
Return the land to the Aboriginal people and have the Dutton family pay all these years of land tax in vain?Whether it is John in the original play or John now, the attitude towards this issue is the same.

Returning the land is impossible.

The only difference is the way you handle it.

The reason why John in the original play chose to confront the aborigines head-on was because the gene of white supremacy was engraved in his bones.

Now John has a different soul in his body. His experience in dealing with herdsmen brothers in Mongolia in his previous life has made John more flexible in his attitude towards the indigenous people.

While spending a lot of money, in the name of charity, it helps the indigenous people in the reservation improve their living, housing, education and medical conditions, and eases the tense relationship between the Yellowstone Ranch and the indigenous people.

On the one hand, they divide and win over, suppress and isolate the indigenous people who are hostile to the Yellowstone Ranch, and at the same time, they support the indigenous people who are close to the Yellowstone Ranch to sit on the throne of chief.

After some in-depth conversation, Jamie discovered that John had taken into consideration all aspects of what might happen in the future.

This incident was quite a blow to Jamie.

Originally, he thought that with his familiarity with the plots of various American TV series, he could help John with some suggestions.

Turns out it wasn't needed at all.

Jamie even felt that even if he didn't "spoiler" the future to John, John would still be able to thrive in the land of Yellowstone.

The good news is that Jamie doesn't have to worry about things at Yellowstone Ranch anymore.

The bad news is, your dad is still your dad.

In his previous life, Jamie was able to get rid of his father's control over his life by going to college and working.

In this life, Jamie still has a long way to go if he wants to get rid of John's ubiquitous care and help, start a career on his own and surpass his father.

In fact, John had hinted many times in the conversation just now.

Jamie could have gone back to the Yellowstone Ranch after college to lie down and be a comfortable second-generation rich man.

But Jamie refused.

John has the advantage of being able to cheat, while Jamie has the advantage of being familiar with various plot trends.

He couldn't lose in this competition between father and son who traveled through time.

At this time, outside the wooden house, Serena and Beth, who had left and returned, were leaning against the fence and chatting.

Beth was originally going to go to a bar in town for a drink, but when Jamie and Serena returned early, she changed her mind halfway and turned back.

When I came back, I happened to meet Serena who was getting gifts from the RV.

The gift Serena and Jamie prepared for their nephew Ryan was a Woody Cowboy doll.

Although Beth said she thought Ryan would like Buzz Lightyear more, she still thanked Serena on Ryan's behalf.

During the conversation, Beth told Serena that she had always been envious of Jamie.

Of the four children, John only chatted with Jamie for so long.

Beth didn't even understand why John was only so interested in the adopted Jamie, even though the three of them were biological.

Seeing Jamie coming out of the house, Beth walked straight over.

As they passed each other, Beth dropped her next sentence.

"Just wait, I will definitely prove to John who is the most useful person to this family!"
