Chapter 049 explains what a win-win situation is!

Seeing Diana and Sistine staring at each other, Matthew was speechless.

As expected of you, this synchronization rate cannot be said to mean that they are going their separate ways, at least they are completely opposite.

Diana and Sistine stared at each other without saying a word.

In fact, they are both right, but their positions are different.

Diana comes from the imperial capital. She is not only the deputy leader of the Walder Knights, but also an imperial general. She stands in the overall national chess game.In her opinion, nobles enjoy preferential treatment and it is their duty to help when the country is in danger.

Sistini, however, was completely considering the issue from Matthew's point of view.

The empire used to be the empire of the Hoffenhager family, and now it is the empire of the Himilen family. It has never been the empire of the Lundebel family.

Of course it’s okay for Matthew to serve his country, but what are the benefits?

It's not okay to take chestnuts from the fire to benefit others.

Diana and Sistine looked at each other, refusing to give in.

Diana felt that Sistini was really short-sighted.Without a country, there is no individual.If the empire really falls, even if Matthew can join the new forces, he can't even think about the position of elector.This is for Matthew’s long-term future.

Sistine felt that Diana's back hurt when she stood and spoke.Today is gone, where is the future?

The empire has a million-strong army, so why don’t they just need [-] private soldiers like Matthew?On the contrary, these upcoming refugees will become a burden on the territory.

The flow of refugees will bring about a series of problems, such as food supply, accommodation, security, etc.

Sistine has followed Matthew for many years. On the surface, she is the head maid and secretary-general, but in fact she plays the role of the standing deputy lord. She even knows the actual situation in the territory better than Matthew himself.

She knew very well that even if 100 million refugees were allowed in, Lundebel would still be able to accommodate it.

But taking in the refugees cannot be in vain. At least half of them must be left behind afterwards to make them part of Rundebell.

According to her plan, it was more in Matthew's interest to gather the refugees first to increase their strength and then go to the battlefield to make contributions.

Refugee arrivals are a crisis, but they are also an opportunity for Matthew.

The earldom of Lundebel is rich in products, complete in mineral resources, and has a trading port in the south. It is no problem to feed millions of people.

The biggest problem here is the lack of people.

During the feudal monarchy era, population mobility was very difficult, and it was extremely difficult to increase the population on a large scale.

Although Matthew implemented policies to encourage childbirth in the territory, it would take at least more than ten years for the policies to be translated into the population.

These policies are good for the future, but now we still have to put money into them.

Unless Matthew wants to participate in the emperor's election in 13 or even 23 years, these policies will not help for the time being.

If this refugee wave could be used to increase the population in the territory several times, that would be the greatest benefit to Matthew.

Seeing Sistine and Diana contemplating their words, Matthew could no longer maintain his detached posture.

He must come out to break up the fight.

He certainly would not criticize Sistine.

The head maid has only one sun in her heart, that is Matthew.Such a loyal subordinate, even if he does something wrong, he will keep it in check.

And Diana is famous within the empire, so keeping her is an important goal for Matthew.

So Matthew stood up and said loudly: "You are all right!"

Diana and Sistine's eyes turned around.

Neither of them were satisfied with this kind of friendly attitude.

what is this?How could they both be right?

Matthew looked at them very seriously, waved for them to sit down first, and then started to fool around calmly.

"Diana, you are right. Without a country, there is no home. If the empire falls, we all will be lonely ghosts. Even if we join the new forces, we will still be marginalized."

"The peace and prosperity of the empire is our common interest."

After hearing Matthew's statement, Diana's expression softened a lot, and the smile returned to her fair face.

She was happy, Sistine was not.But she didn't bite her tongue, she just lowered her head and didn't want to speak.

She knows very well that when a new person comes in, the old person cries.Both she and Surante are the same old people.Diana has just signed an empty agreement with Matthew, her heart is still in the Walder Knights, so of course Matthew will favor her.

Although she was a little unhappy, she understood.

As Master Matthew's most trusted head maid, she would not be jealous or angry over such a trivial matter.

snort!

Matthew looked at all the emotions written on Sistine's little face and almost laughed out loud.

If it wasn't for the meeting, he would have pinched the head maid's face and teased her.This guy is too cute.

This kind of character that doesn't hide her worries is Sistine's consistent style.Although she was in a bad mood, she still cooperated with Matthew obediently and honestly and did not persist.

Matthew looked at Sistini and said softly: "Sistini, you are right. This crisis is our best chance to rise."

Sistini raised her head happily, and all the dark clouds were swept away.While she was happy, she didn't forget to glance at Diana with her peripheral vision.Although there is not much provocation in his eyes, the show off is evident.

Just as Diana was about to stand up and speak, Matthew made a downward gesture, interrupting her movement.

"Okay, listen to me now!"

"Diana is right, Sistine is right too. The question is why do you think these two things cannot be unified?"

Eh?What does it mean?

Matthew's eyes passed over the several contractors, and then he asked softly: "Did you suffer any loss when you concluded the contract with me? First of all, let me make it clear that I definitely did not suffer any loss."

Several contractors expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they were not at a loss.

Although they benefited from 6-7% of their cultivation by Matthew, they also knew very well that without Matthew, they would not have achieved the cultivation achievements they have today.

To say that they have suffered a loss is to speak out of conscience.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Matthew smiled and said, "Do you know what this is?"

"Win-win!"

"It's a win-win situation to safeguard national interests while ensuring personal and territorial interests."

The words "win-win" almost made the ears of several members of the maid group go numb when they heard it.

But the word was new to Deanna and Shirley, and it made them think deeply.Seeing them thinking, Matthew took a deep breath and continued his journey of deception.

He briefly analyzed the possible direction of this war.

According to common sense, the most likely result is a fragile defeat of the Kingdom of Perth, followed by a minor defeat of the Kingdom of Perth or a stalemate between the two sides.Unless there is a stupid commander or something unexpected happens, the Claire Empire will not fail.

If the Empire does not mobilize enough troops, perhaps the Kingdom of Perth can start a tug-of-war with the Empire in Groningen Province. If the international situation changes, the Kingdom of Perth will have the opportunity to benefit.

This is probably their luck.

Chapter 050 Surant, leave it to you

After briefly analyzing the battle situation, Matthew brought up the real theme of the meeting.

Regardless of the situation on the front lines, refugees will definitely appear, and there will be many of them.How to place these people is the core of the next phase of work.

Of course, this is also Matthew's best opportunity to expand his strength.

Matthew first rejected the fiscal officials' suggestion to deny entry to the refugees.

If he had encountered this kind of thing at the beginning of time travel, maybe he would have adopted this strategy, but it was different now.

He patiently explained to all officials the significance of accepting refugees.

First, standing up when the country is in danger earns you a good reputation.

These refugees have the same roots and ethnicity as the residents of Rundberg. There is no problem with language, culture or national identity in accepting them, and they can be fully digested and absorbed.

Those refugees who are unwilling to stay are also easy to deal with. Let them exchange labor for food, and send them home after the war is over. These people will naturally go back with gratitude to Matthew.

The brainwashing ability of religion is indeed powerful, but ordinary people are not fools. Of course they know who is good to them.

Let them go back to help spread the word, and the rumor that Matthew is the devil will be self-defeating.

As long as countermeasures are taken in advance, the troubles caused by this refugee wave will be far less than the benefits.

After determining the general direction, Matthew handed over the leadership of the meeting to Surante.

No one knows overall planning better than her.

Surante pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and stood up slowly, his soft voice filled with undoubted confidence.

"Please open the first page of the Orange Book, and I will assign you an explanation task..."

Matthew, who was sitting in the main seat with his back on the leather chair, watched Surante, who had a rather scholarly demeanor, assign tasks, with the corners of his mouth raised in joy.

The assignment plan was produced by Surante, and Matthew made only one change after reviewing it, changing the cover from blue to orange.

Even though the world is dominated by blue books, he just loves orange.

Compared with the dimness of white, green and blue, the dazzling light of purple, gold and orange is Matthew's favorite.

He believes that one day he can collectively shine with contractors, but that is the future, and now he must allocate resources to contractors with higher returns.

To put it simply, it means to be strong first and then become stronger, and everyone will become stronger together. This is his wish that he has never told anyone.

Matthew knows his abilities very well.

He has a vision beyond this era and has the gift of the goddess, but he is not omnipotent when dealing with specific affairs.

As a leader, if you have to do everything yourself, you will only exhaust yourself. Delegate power when it is time to do so, and just do a good job of balancing and controlling the overall situation.

Chatting with your subordinates can certainly improve your popularity index, but it can also make you lose your authority.

Matthew rarely speaks in meetings unless necessary, which is how he maintains a sense of mystery in front of officials.

Surante's meeting lasted for three hours before it ended. Matthew couldn't sit still and left midway on the pretext of checking the Sky Eye system.

The Orange Book stipulates each person's task indicators in detail, and distributes KPI targets to all officials and contractors in the most intuitive way.

The only drawback of this lie is that it is too detailed and takes a long time to break down.

It was so long that Matthew dozed off after listening to it.

Seeing Matthew exiting, Surante also breathed a sigh of relief, because what she was about to say was something not mentioned in the Orange Book, and it would be inconvenient to say it if Matthew was present.

The reason why she went into such detail was to wait for Matthew to withdraw.

After Matthew left, the leadership of the meeting truly belonged to her.

Surante took off his glasses, and his originally gentle gaze became a little sharper.She tapped the table to get the attendees' attention.

When everyone focused their attention on the center, her gentle voice seemed a little different from usual.

"Are you a little confused as to why we have to do so many things?"

No one speaks.

Silence has different meanings on different occasions, and at this time it represents acquiescence.

Of course Surante knew this would be the ending, and she was not surprised. It was all written in her script.

"If Lord Matthew were just the Earl of Lundebel, we really wouldn't have to do these things. Just guard the borders of the territory and accept a few thousand refugees to a limited extent."

"But Lord Matthew is not only an earl, he is also a noble elector!"

Surante stood up, his eyes filled with an unprecedented fierceness.

Several officials didn't even dare to look at her.

She clenched her little pink fist, both to encourage herself and to send a message to the attendees.

"Everyone, how do you think the master's territory is being managed?"

At this point, everyone is no longer sleepy. Officials in charge of internal affairs, military, agriculture, and infrastructure have something to say, and they are all full of praise for Matthew's territorial management.

Their attitude was not surprising to Surante.
