Chapter 156 Weisen State High-Level Meeting (Part 2)
Frederick, like ordinary people, would always find ways to be greedy when working for his boss. When he was the boss, he would hate anyone who was greedy for his own money. Take him to work with the supervisor to drive piles.
After the harsh words, the meeting continued. Next, Tax Minister Neuer reported on the preparations for summer tax.
Frederick gave important instructions: "The current tax law will be extended to the entire territory starting from the summer tax. We must do a good job in publicity. We can organize some singers to compile the main contents of the tax law into songs and promote them in the villages. .”
Neuer recorded it immediately.
The new territory will implement the same tax policy as Wesen Territory starting this summer. For the tenant farmers who originally had to pay at least rent, collecting 30% of the rent after the harvest is exempted is like the coming of the God of Light.
However, the level of existing tax collectors in those places varies greatly, and tax cuts are a good opportunity to make a lot of money in their eyes.
Frederick thought for a while and said to Franz, who succeeded his father as Minister of Military Affairs this month: "The army sends troops and tax officials to the villages to collect taxes in the name of protecting tax grains. I will give you the details later. Order."
Little Franz immediately understood what the commander meant. These soldiers were sent out not as simply as protecting taxes and grain, but there might be bloodshed.
After talking about taxes, Frederick named Edward to talk about the situation in the Ministry of Construction first.
Wesson now has three key projects, namely the Carolina Canal, Germain Cathedral and the Edelweiss Great Library.
Edward reported to the leaders that the Carolina Canal has entered the earth excavation stage this year, and personnel have gradually arrived, and it is expected to be opened to navigation next year.
The exterior design of Germain Cathedral and the Edelweiss Library has been completed, land acquisition has been completed, demolition work has been completed, and foundation pits can be dug.
Frederick's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly burst out with an unprecedented momentum, and said to Edward very solemnly: "All work in the cathedral and the Great Library is suspended."
"Ah. ? ” Everyone in the conference room exclaimed.
Everyone knew that these two projects were Frederick's focus, and he never thought they would stop.
Frederick said to Edward a little excitedly: "Next month, in mid-June, summon those construction workers who are flexible and want to make a lot of money to Weissenburg City, and I will personally teach them to use new materials to build. House!"
"When they all learn, the cathedral and the great library will be built by them!"
"From mid-June, my work will focus on it! Here, I will go to the Principality of Mainz to participate in hunting in late autumn.”
The old people in the conference room were speechless with a little expectation. The master can come up with new tricks every time, and they don’t know what they can do this time. come out.
But now that it’s snowing, we can eat fresh vegetables, and we can boil water to grind flour. No one would be surprised if the master said that flour can be used to build a house.
Frederick gestured to Vanessa behind him, and soon a stack of books was placed on the table.
He picked out one book and asked his secretary to give it to Edward, and give all the others to All Might.
When Omet saw that the principal was getting active again, he eagerly picked up the first book and opened it to read. However, as soon as he opened it, his expression changed instantly. He raised his head and asked Frederick in horror: "Principal , What do you want with such a big rich woman’s happy stick?”
There were several spraying and coughing sounds in the conference room.
Frederick's face suddenly darkened and he meowed. It turned out that someone had already come up with the idea of using seismic techniques to make concrete vibrators, but the place of use was different.
"Don't worry about it." He said solemnly, "Just make it."
Then he immediately changed the subject and said to Edward: "You should study the railway. I hope you will contact the administration immediately. The hospital carried out line setting and land acquisition work, using prisoners of war to build the roadbed first. "
This is the benefit of being a big landowner. The land is yours, and you can use it as you like, occupying farmland for tenant farmers. Just divide the area in other places to compensate. The location of the railway was worked out at once. The terrain of the entire Wesson state was available in the map room of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Frederick had previously inspected the terrain while riding Dawn and Maria in the sky, and then let the soldiers walk on the ground. Once, the route is basically determined.
It's just that there are many mountains here in Wesson. It is difficult and expensive to dig tunnels with the current technology. Although we try to reduce the turns as much as possible, there are still many turns.
Edward is no stranger to railways. In addition to mines, quarries also use rail cars to transport large amounts of stone, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you want to build a railway like mines?"
Frederick nodded and said: "Yes, you also know that the mine railway can transport more and faster things than ordinary horse-drawn carriages, so I decided to use railways to connect villages and towns in the territory, and cities and towns. Between cities, this way a large number of people and materials can be transported when the rivers are frozen in winter, without being subject to port restrictions."
"Let me tell you another secret of Wesson, although the carriages on these railways. Now it’s pulled by horses, but in a few years more powerful machines will be used to pull the carts.” Pulled to the city of Nuremberg ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old people in the conference room immediately started asking all sorts of questions. The core question was just one: why do we have to wait a few years?
The weather was getting a bit hot at the end of May. Frederick picked up his thermos cup and took a sip of ice juice, and then said: "Do you think it is so easy to produce with great strength? Production Do you dare to use it if it has not been tested for reliability? "
"Those machines are used to transport cargo. If they are put into use in a hurry and something breaks down, and people and cargo are dropped, will you lose money? ”
No one said anything in the conference room.
Frederick then said to Police Minister Dominic: "The work of the police department is very heavy. It must complete the construction at the district, city and town levels by the end of the summer, collect clues in the autumn, and arrest people in the winter. I We don’t need gutter rats on our turf.”
He then said to Judge Otto: "You must cooperate well. Those who have blood on their hands, those who raped, those who maimed people, those who spread their houses, those who organized underworld gangs with more than five people, and those who have great public complaints will be hung on the wall. The property was confiscated and the immediate family members were expelled from the territory. Those who committed petty theft and extortion in total exceeding 1 croutz went to build the railway with the prisoners of war. If the total exceeded 5 croutz, they were required to do hard labor for an additional year for each additional croutz. If there is less than 1 kreuz, the shackles will be displayed in public for 10 days."
Frederick thought for a while and then said: "When necessary, the city defense army cooperates across districts to arrest people, no matter how small the crime of resistance is. They can all be killed on the spot.”
At this time, he asked Omet: “How is the textile machine?”
Omet did not expect that the security issue would be brought up, and he was just thinking about it. Looking at the things in the booklet, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "I was planning to wait for the report, and now I can weave qualified cloth."
Frederick nodded and turned to the Medical Minister Said: "Frank, girls in the flower house, you organize human and material resources for treatment, and I will pay for it."
"Omet, start preparing for a textile factory over there. If there are homeless girls, they will be resettled by the textile factory."
After he finished arranging this matter, in addition to the voices of agreement from the relevant personnel, Everyone in the conference room speaks.
The underworld, the Flower House, etc. are not just new territories, they have always been in Wesen Territory, and the protective umbrella is in the conference room.
Frederick's main contradiction before was external threats, and it was difficult to pierce this abscess. Now his main contradiction is internal development, and he can use the power of victory in the Six-Day War to rectify internal affairs.
As for the underground order, he plans to gradually establish community organizations that sink to the streets to compress the power vacuum.
The reason why he leaked this matter so early was to see if someone could still save him.
If someone was not aware of himself, Frederick did not mind helping him realize it.
Frederick glanced at the umbrella coldly, and then continued the meeting as if nothing had happened. The next turn was the Ministry of Agriculture.
