Chapter 204 Year-end 4
Elon Garnard, who had been silent next to him, said: "There used to be a missionary school in Butua. Maybe we can cooperate with them to increase the size of that school. ?”
“Oh, forget it, Elon!”
Paul waved his hands repeatedly, “I heard that many clergy have some kind of special interest in little boys, and I don’t want to let that happen. More children are going there.”
Everyone burst into laughter, except for the female consultant who blushed.
Paul stretched out his hand and shook it tightly in the air, "We must establish an education system that is completely under the control of the Government Affairs Council!"
He suddenly changed his eyes and kept looking at the female consultant.
Irene's heart skipped a beat when he saw her. In front of so many people, Earl Grayman was really rude.
The female consultant's face turned red, and she asked angrily: "Is there something wrong, Lord Count?"
"Miss Dias, I wonder if you have any intention..."
"Wha...what?"
"The position of director of the Ministry of Education in the Government Affairs Council is still vacant. Originally, this aspect was not systematic, so there was nothing to do. But if we want to build so many schools, There will be a lot of work in the future.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“So, are you interested in taking up the position of director of the Ministry of Education?”
< br>Irene was stunned for a moment, looking at Paul and not knowing what to say.
Paul waited quietly for the other party's answer, but before the female consultant could say anything, someone in the hall expressed objections.
"Ahem! Lord Graiman, this seems inconsistent with tradition. How can a woman hold public office? Oh, I am not doubting Miss Dias's knowledge. After all, she is a genuine scholar, but women …In short, this is inconsistent with tradition.”
The speaker was Baron Hansel Abbott. Obviously, he was not satisfied with Paul’s appointment of a female official—who was still at the same level as him. Disagree.
“But in our administrative system, Miss Dias and Miss Ladi seem to be the two most knowledgeable people.”
“Learning does not mean that you are suitable for government affairs. Management work! Lord Earl, some scholars are just immersed in research and lack daily communication skills. How can they cope with the ups and downs of the government system? ”
"But I remember that Her Royal Highness the Princess is a heroic woman who is good at both military and political affairs!"
When mentioning the kingdom's eldest princess Catherine, "Miss Dias" who was still in a daze trembled slightly.
"Oh! Lord Earl." Hansel felt a little funny, "You can't use an example to explain the situation. Besides, Her Highness Catherine grew up in the royal family and has favorable family conditions that most people do not have. She The education and training opportunities he has received can crush most men in the country."
"And..." Hansel's mouth curled up slightly, "If His Majesty the King has an equally outstanding prince, I'm afraid Catherine. His Highness will not be as dazzling as he is now."
Paul had to ask everyone: "What do you think about the appointment of Miss Dias as the director of the Ministry of Education?"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at their noses and mouths, but no one said a word. After getting along with each other for such a long time, everyone admires the knowledge of the female consultant, but appointing a woman... is too unreasonable.
Paul had no choice but to ask again: "Can anyone come forward and recommend themselves to be the director of the Ministry of Education? Or recommend a subordinate."
Still no one said anything. , the rough guys who were born in the Northwest Bay are very self-aware, and education is something they can't play with.
As for several "high-level" talents from the royal capital, Bernard serves as the chief secretary. He has to be with Paul every day, handling various documents, arranging schedules, etc. He has just become the director of the machinery factory. Guy Burns is a technical geek who doesn't want to care about anything except studying technology. It's already very difficult to be a factory director.
Neither of these two people want to take too much trouble on themselves.
The only one with an idea is Hansel. He prefers power.
But Hansel is also self-aware. As the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, he still has a lot of things to do in agriculture. He was just complained by the lord that the progress of integrating farmland was too slow, and now he is also in charge of accepting it. Immigration and recruitment of talents from outside are also very busy.
Now his mind is rapidly thinking about who to recommend for the position of director of the Ministry of Education. Of course, the scope must be among the talents he has recruited, and it is best to be fellow people from the royal capital.
But Hansel thought about it and couldn't find a person who met all the three conditions of "coming early, being very capable, and having a certain degree of compatibility with the lord".
He came earlier, that's for sure. Who would use a new person to fill an important position?
Being very capable is also necessary, otherwise he would not even look down on him. He has always judged others based on their ability.
It is also important to have a certain degree of compatibility with the Lord. Needless to say, the old man who came from the northwest is the basis of the lord. Among the high-ranking foreign officials, Bernard started from simple affairs and gradually gained the earl's approval. Guy Burns and the earl's interests The two of them were equally passionate about technology, and he and the earl each took what they needed, which was considered an alliance in some form.
Damn it! When people are needed, it's hard to hate them. Do you want to watch such an important position fall into the hands of that woman? The Lord obviously attaches great importance to education.
Just when Hansel was sweating anxiously, Paul spoke.
"Since no one can come up with a good candidate, I think Miss Dias will be in charge of education affairs for the time being. However, given that there is currently only one school under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Council in the territory, Weiss College, unlike other departments It's so busy, so I decided to change the Ministry of Education into the Department of Education. The Department is a unit lower than the Ministry. Ms. Dias is temporarily the director of the Department of Education. Oh no, she is the acting director. What do you think? "< br>
No one spoke.
"Is there no objection?" Paul changed the way he asked the question.
"Uh... I think this is good." Someone finally spoke in a low voice, and others nodded slightly, acquiescing to the Earl's decision.
“Then it’s settled.”
Only Hansel was dissatisfied: No one could see that His Majesty the Earl was retreating in order to advance. I guarantee that that woman will be on an equal footing with the heads of various ministries within two years, and the Department of Education will be upgraded to the Ministry of Education.
Hansel still recognized the abilities of female consultants, but he always felt inappropriate for a woman to hold such an important position.
If the female consultant did not confront her tit for tat on the refugee issue, he would hold his nose and admit it, but since the two have policy differences, he certainly does not want the other party to gain greater power.
