Chapter 451 The new department left for you
This is the second time Rudolf has come to Weisenberg City. The last time he was "invited" from the battlefield, he was on tenterhooks all day long. This time he was much better, but his mood was still the same. No good, sour.
On the afternoon of the Spring Equinox, Frederick presided over the signing ceremony for the establishment of the Elbe Treaty Organization in the castle.
The members of this organization are lords and free cities. They are not restricted by nationality. They are united on an equal footing, help each other in harmony, and do not interfere in the internal affairs of others.
Members lower tariffs for each other, open schools to each other, and treat each other equally when recruiting public officials.
Members raised funds to establish the Elbe Bank, which mainly invested in transportation construction within the organization.
The governing body of the Convention Organization is the Council, which is responsible for resolving commercial and trade conflicts among members within the framework, as well as deciding on major issues such as membership membership and withdrawal.
The members other than Frederick felt like they were holding onto a golden thigh.
First of all, the newly established Elbe Bank only needs to contribute a small amount. In the future, it will be able to get dividends from the income of the entire road network and railway network. If the territory is hit by a disaster, it can also receive interest-free disaster relief loans.
Secondly, opening schools means that you can go to many schools in the Principality of Wesson. For nobles, schools are not only a place to learn knowledge, but also a place to establish social circles, build connections, and recruit subordinates.
They don't need to have good grades, since they have to go home and inherit the family property after graduation, but they can win over students from civilian backgrounds with good grades to serve them.
In contrast, there are not many surprises in business dealings.
In addition to the previous nobles, there were also some later arriving nobles and free cities who were interested in this convention organization, but after some hesitation, Frederick asked them to join as observers.
The signing ceremony was filled with joy, but Rudolph was very depressed. He was ignored as an important guest, even though he was the king.
What happened next surprised everyone including Rudolf. Weisenberg City and Ferdinand City of the Osmaga Empire established a sister city.
Everyone was asking where the city of Ferdinand was, but found nothing.
This small episode does not affect the way Wesen people spent the spring of 1035 with pride and hope.
“Huh~”
Frederick lay on the bed and exhaled. The serious massage in the bathroom just now made him relax, and fatigue came over him instantly.
He was exhausted these past few days. After the capping and signing ceremony, Single Day had to accompany Rudolf around, and Double Day and Anna discussed with Eliud about sending troops to fight the infidels. And troublesome.
Fortunately, everything has been settled now and everyone has gone back to their homes, finally feeling relaxed.
After a while, a soft and fragrant body came into his arms.
Maria said very depressedly: "Well, it is so difficult to accompany Her Royal Highness the Queen to buy things. I want to buy everything I see, but when I choose, I am hesitant and don't know which one to choose."
Frederick reached out and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "She is not as rich as you. If you like her, buy her, and the castle will not be able to fit in it."
Maria She runs a comic book club and a hot-air balloon, and her family owns a copper mine, so she always sends money to her. She is also a rich young woman.
"Nothing!" She cried out unjustly, "I sold all my old clothes and jewelry."
"Let's not talk about it anymore." Frederick hugged Maria and said. , "I want you to start taking charge of the work in the government and serve as the minister of a department."
Maria looked at him strangely and said: "It's too early." Normally, The first lady of the Duchy of Wesson can be responsible for some work in the palace, but Maria has not held a wedding with Frederick yet, and she is still an outsider legally.
Frederick said to her thoughtfully: "I want you to be in charge of a department, not because of the relationship between you and me, but because I think you have such a Ability.”
Maria was surprised and delighted.
The root of this matter was caused by Frederick. Among the lovers around him, some in the country were shining brightly in railway construction and opening snack stalls, some were emerging in the maritime trade, and some were in the field of pediatrics. Slowly rising, foreign countries are even more famous on the battlefield.
Because of this, there are rumors in the world that what Frederick really likes are those capable women, and the only ones with good looks and figures are just for one-night love between you and me.
When Maria compared herself with them, she always felt that she was far behind. The hot-air balloon was invented by Frederick, and she only drew some comic strips. In comparison, she had no outstanding achievements.
She didn’t say it out loud, but she always felt like a dwarf in her heart.
Frederick understood the girl's little thoughts, but he didn't tell her at first. He waited until the time came before arranging work for her.
"Can I really do it?" Maria felt a little unsure, "Do you want to take the exam?"
The source of her lack of confidence comes from the relevant laws of the Principality of Wesson. Public officials must pass an examination before they can hold office. At the same time, their parents taught them that they could not violate the law by relying on Frederick's favor, but they had not taken the examination.
Frederick was very satisfied with this unexpected question. What he feared most was that people around him would break the law and commit crimes.
"It doesn't matter." Frederick smiled and pinched Maria's nose gently, "I have seen your efforts over the years and will keep them in my heart."
< br>
"I have been keeping this department for you, and now I think you are good enough to take on this important task, so it is time to hand it over to you."
These words made Maria's heart feel depressed for many years. Sweeping it all away, it turns out that I am not useless, but I was not smart enough before.
Now that he was smart enough, Frederick also began to let himself do big things.
With a smile, Frederick gently stroked her long black and smooth hair, and continued: "It turns out that I wanted Teacher Psyche to take charge of this department first, but you also know who she is. , I only do what I like, and now I would rather cultivate ginger than become a minister."
"What department is it?" Maria asked a little nervously, "Is it a new department? Isn’t that too deliberate? ”
She is still self-aware and has a good understanding of her own abilities. All the ministers in the government departments are famous talents, and there are countless people who come to poach them without success.
So she can be sure that she will not replace a certain minister, but that Frederick will create a new department for herself.
But in this way, the meaning of taking care is too obvious, and I can't live with it.
And this department was originally meant for Psyche. Maria has studied with her for many years, so she naturally knows that she is a very powerful person, but she doesn’t have much confidence that she can do a good job.
But Frederick smiled evilly and replied: "As long as you obey me tonight, I will tell you."
Maria blushed, reached out and pinched and twisted the guy's waist hard.
Although the two did not take the last step, they had played many preludes. Frederick had many ways to make her lose consciousness in the end.
The night has passed, and the book will not go into details.
