Chapter 155 Wesson High-Level Meeting (Part 1)
On the penultimate day of May 1026, the first high-level meeting of the Wesson State Government after the "Six-Day War" was held in the conference room of the Executive Yuan .
Frederick was the first to walk into the conference room, which was empty. After sitting down in his seat, he stretched, then turned around and asked his secretary curiously: "I heard you talked about Are you in love?”
Vanessa was preparing a notebook and a dip pen to record the meeting. The sudden question made her stunned for a moment, and then she asked with a blushing face: “Why do you ask that?”
Frederick said proudly: "I am very well informed."
Then he asked Vanessa with a smirk on his face: "I'm going to lock Schmidt up in the winter, do you mind?"
Vanessa's face turned redder and she whispered. : "Just ask me what I do."
Then she asked cautiously: "Did he make any mistake?"
Frederick laughed. , found a comfortable position on the chair and sat down, murmuring: "An angel, an angel with many rivets and steamed steel, wandering over the continent..."
Vanessa tilted her head, beautiful His big and moving eyes were full of question marks.
At this time, people attending the meeting began to come to the conference room, and Frederick chatted with them.
After the territory expanded, Frederick added several new departments and absorbed some talents from the new territories.
You can tell the newcomers and the elderly in the conference room at a glance. The elderly are wearing white shirts, dark trousers and thermos cups, while the newcomers are wearing traditional colorful tights and colorful shirts with wide sleeves.
This made the newlyweds seem out of place, and they were all on pins and needles.
The old people were smiling and full of energy.
It is not surprising that after the war, Frederick made knights. In addition to the second generation of knights such as Franz Jr. who performed well in the war, veterans such as Administrator Frick, Tax Collector Neuer and Judge Otto also Obtained the title of knight and officially became a noble.
And the current Weisen state is different from the former Weisen territory. The territory has expanded from about 1,000 square kilometers to nearly 8,000 square kilometers, and the population has suddenly increased from 100,000 to nearly 400,000. , their power naturally increased.
The original Weissenburg government also carried out reforms. Each functional department was upgraded to a "department", and the officials in charge were upgraded from a certain official to a certain minister, and their salaries naturally increased accordingly.
When Frederick saw that everyone was here, he said: "Today is the first meeting of our state government, because many new colleagues have come. Let's introduce ourselves first and introduce our departments at the same time. Function. "
The first person to introduce himself was Executive Dean Frick. In the civil service system, he was still below Frederick and above everyone else.
Among the new faces that appeared today, the first one to introduce himself was Finance Minister Erhard. He is a middle-aged man with a hairline that reaches up to his chin. He was originally the financial officer of the city of Nuremberg and belongs to the local faction. His work was quite successful and his reputation was very good, so Frederick asked him to manage the financial work of the entire Wesson state.
The second newcomer is Christian, who came to deliver the gauntlet in April. He was originally Rudolf’s diplomat, but was dismissed and seduced because of the late submission of the gauntlet. He heard that the Allied forces were defeated this time. When the blame was about to be placed on his own head, he and his whole family immediately ran to Weissenburg Castle to join Duke Weissen with their gold and silver.
Frederick was not familiar with him, but Philip, who was also a diplomat, was quite familiar with this man and was certain of his work ability.
So Frederick asked Psyche to give him a polygraph test to confirm that he was not an undercover agent, and then put him in charge of diplomatic work.
The third newcomer in the conference room is an old acquaintance. He is Edward, the master craftsman of the Nuremberg Stonemasons Guild and the general contractor of the Carolina Canal construction company in Wesson. He is now working in Friedrichshafen. Lieutenant General served as Minister of Construction.
This was the operation of Party A and Party B. Frederick had no idea, but Edward said that he would concentrate on being a minister after the canal was dug.
In addition to the three of them, there was a person in the conference room today who many people knew or heard of, but it was his first time to attend a high-level meeting.
Droit, the head of Wesson Accounting Firm, is also here today. Starting last year, he hired some professionals from the Kingdom of England to open the firm. He first audited the Wesson family. All the industries under his name then provided services to other chambers of commerce, and in just one year, the business reached the city of Nuremberg.
These burgundy-haired Anglians are known for their unselfishness, superb business skills, and confidentiality. They have solved problems for many customers and are deeply loved by the bosses, and are known as "red foxes".
Now all the officials have a bit of a stomachache, because when Deloit introduced himself, he made it clear that Wesson Accounting Firm will begin auditing the finances of government departments this year at the request of Duke Wesson.
Deloitte seldom showed up and didn't talk much. Due to the special nature of his work, he rarely interacted with other people. After saying hello to everyone, he sat there quietly.
Giovanni had a smile on his face. Wesson Bank was the target of the red foxes’ closest attention, and now he was finally not suffering alone.
After everyone introduced themselves, Frederick said: "Let me first set a tone for future work. From this year to next year, that is, 1027, the first task is to establish and improve our business in the new territory. Government agencies should collect statistics from various departments. "
" Territory development cannot be without planning. In the middle of 1027, that is, one year later, we will start to formulate the five-year development of Weisen State from 1028 to 1032. Plan." All the officials present immediately took note of it. After recording, bank president Giovanni asked: "Can I ask if the development plan will take advantage of the region as written by Mr. Scrooge McDuck in the "Wesson Daily" last year? Optimize industrial layout as a guide? ”
He has been working in finance for so many years and has seen that many landowners’ so-called development work is passive development after seeing what their neighbors do to make money. This method of making money often involves learning from neighbors’ neighbors’ neighbors over several years. came.
Those who make long-term plans are often those chambers of commerce. They face many more variables and the pace is much faster than the pastoral landowners.
If your own chamber of commerce develops, but cannot keep up with your competitors, the landlord will go out of business before the newly planted grapes can produce new wine.
Because he is no stranger to making plans, Giovanni understands that making development plans requires a guiding ideology. He first thought about the characteristics of Weisen State, and soon thought of something he saw last year. Series of articles.
Frederick raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Tell me what you think."
Giovanni sorted out his thoughts and then said: "Although the area of Weisen is not large, transportation costs still account for a large proportion of production costs."
"Transportation costs It doesn’t just count carriages, it includes transportation, warehousing, carriages and other expenses from the origin of materials to the factory.”
At this time, Frederick interrupted him: “Well said, very enlightening. Sex, you can think along this line of thinking.”
There are many things to be solved in today’s meeting, and the economics lecture can only be discussed later.
Giovanni didn't care if his words were interrupted. In comparison, the most important thing was that he had the same idea as his boss.
Frederick continued: "Let's start today's various issues, starting with the Executive Yuan."
Frick immediately opened his notebook and began to report on the current work situation: "Currently Wesson The division of the state's administrative regions has been completed, and all officials sent from Wesson have been assigned, and the officials who have changed their positions have been assigned according to their wishes and by drawing lots. "
"At present, the renaming of each district has been completed, and the name of the Reese collar has been changed. The district of Volnitz, the district of Eichstadt was renamed the district of Williburde, the district of Ansbach was renamed the district of Reichardt, the district of Fürth was renamed the district of Zirndorf, and the district of Roth was renamed the district of Latti. Bor District.”
Frederick nodded. These new place names were not just random thoughts. They were basically the names of the place a long time ago. There are also geographical names such as rivers of the same name recorded locally. That period of history can be used to erase the imprint of the previous lord.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. Wilson State will be his base and must be built like an iron bucket.
He then said: "Next, the Executive Yuan will work with the courts, the tax department, the police department and the military to investigate each village. Village leaders who have misdeeds must be dealt with seriously and without mercy."
"Various policies of the old territory must be implemented in the villages, and we strive to install loudspeakers in all villages before winter."
Frick recorded all the leadership instructions and said that he would implement them as soon as possible.
Then came the reporting work of the Ministry of Finance. Erhard had not yet figured out Frederick's temper, so he carefully reported the financial data as of the end of April.
The focus of the report was the military expenditures of the Six-Day War, the financial situation of each territory and the amount of loot captured. In general, this war left Frederick very exhausted.
However, Frederick's focus was not here. Instead, he asked in surprise: "The data for April was actually calculated? So fast?!"
Re-taking stock of the financial situation and statistical data of the new territory is a big task It's a lot of work, and a lot of calculations are prone to errors.
Erhard replied: "We need to thank Professor Ogilvy for this. The calculator he invented is very easy to use, which greatly reduces the workload and makes our work much easier."
< br>When Frederick heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he almost jumped out of his chair.
When he and Ogilvy mentioned other applications of Golem Puppet, they mentioned the specialized computing function. That was two years ago, and they thought it was out of the question.
"Don't leave after the meeting!" Frederick said to All Might.
Then he said to Erhard: "The next work of the Ministry of Finance is to improve the regulations and procedures for the territory's financial work. There must be rules to follow, and traces must be left when dealing with others, so as to reduce loopholes for others to take advantage of. "
Then Frederick pointed to the thermos cup in front of him and said sternly: "If there is a department that buys a thermos cup for 10 florins, all those who participate in the signing will hang it on the city wall!"
Erhard was shocked and asked subconsciously: "Sir, why are you so skilled?"
