Chapter 2341 A bold move


Now that the words have been spoken, whether Soshyan is an Astartes, a manager, or based on his personal character, it must be done.

He has never broken his trust with anyone in his life, not even a demon (referring to Amnak).

Not to mention the tens of billions of residents of Nathan V.

Of course, actual actions are definitely much more difficult than words.

For example, first of all, he must have a master plan to develop economy, industry and population, and it involves the entire galaxy rather than a plan for a single planet. This cannot be thought out by his own mind. It requires It is jointly researched and formulated by an organization composed of many people who understand the economic operations, trade, culture and even technology of the hive city.

So in the Governor's Spire on Nessin 5, he announced the establishment of the Nessun System Development Planning Committee. The committee's main task is to play an advisory role, formulate economic and industrial macro-development plans for the entire system, and provide guidance for enterprises and the Joint Chamber of Commerce. Provide guiding opinions to determine the production scale, price levels, market allocation, wage standards, working hours, etc. of each enterprise to prevent production and trade problems caused by blind competition, but it has no actual administrative power. In addition, the committee is positioned as A mortal auxiliary organization under the Astral Knights Chapter, all members are treated as senior servants of the Chapter.

This decision immediately shocked all the upper echelons of Nathan No. 5 present.

The economy of a hive city is usually divided into three parts, one part belongs to the "Governor" or "Imperial Official", one part belongs to private business owners and factory owners, and the other part belongs to organizations such as the Mechanicus and the Established Church. Among them The former is mainly airports, large transportation facilities, public service facilities, etc., the middle is many light industries such as markets, transportation, food processing plants, etc., and the last part covers a series of industries such as energy, electronic products, church real estate, etc.

In terms of the proportion of the total economy and production, the latter two account for almost 60% of the total economy of a hive city, but their management is almost very lax. Merchants are generally limited by their size and will not have any influence, but large merchants and factory owners often unite to form large chambers of commerce and trade guilds, using their size and control over the economy to exert pressure on the governor and officials. Influence, not to mention the Mechanicus and the Established Church, at least the merchants will still be subject to taxation. These two organizations do not even need to pay attention to taxation, and even the governor cannot easily interfere with the internal affairs of these two organizations. Not to mention meddling in their industry.

When Soshyan set up this committee, he made it clear that he wanted to "control" everyone. This was really unacceptable to them who were used to "freedom".

However, they can resist anyone, but Soshiyan, as the leader of the Astartes Chapter, has nothing to do.

After all, the "reasonable" Astartes are at least not that scary. Once they are "unreasonable", there will be no place for mortals to reason

Of course, just because there is no way to fight, does not mean that They will accept it.

Even Soshyan knows this very well -

But this cannot shake his determination. If the power of the Naisen Galaxy is to be integrated, this chaotic state must be broken!

However, this does not mean that Soshyan wants to confront the entire upper class. Ten years of expeditions have sharpened Soshyan’s political mind and mentality. Fear and violence are only one of the strategies and means of rule, but they are by no means all. The dynamics of interests Balance is equally important.

So this extended to the selection of committee members. Soshyan announced that it would be composed of experts and scholars in equal proportions from each world, and then transfer a small number of sages from Ulanhudana. This dispels some people's concerns that he may "favor" a certain world. At the same time, the director of the committee is rotated by the planetary governors of Nessen 4 and Nessin 5. Each governor serves for five years and takes the lead in formulating the next five years. Plan - but this supervisor is essentially a false position, because it is the individual members who make the plan, and as servants of the Chapter, they do not accept the governor's management. This means that the essence of this supervisor is to make the final decision after the plan is formulated. The person who stamped it. Such an overlapping but non-subordinate organizational structure can, on the one hand, ensure that the Chapter can always have control over the overall development of the galaxy, and on the other hand, it can draw the rulers of the galaxy into the planning level, allowing them to become the leaders of a series of development plans. Indicate performers and leaders.

This is Soshyan's compromise, or respect for the administrative power of the planetary governor. He wants to tell everyone that the Astral Knights still maintain that the Astartes do not directly participate in the planet. The principles of affairs management can soften the upper-level hostility to this socio-economic change and industrial structure change led by the Astartes to the greatest extent.

And this leads to another question——

The question of belonging to the Adeptus Mechanicus in the Nessen system.

Generally speaking, after a sage leaves his forging world to serve in a certain hive city, it is equivalent to being included in the imperial bureaucracy. In a sense, it is also considered to be separated from the original world. However, in actual operation, due to various reasons, it is actually difficult for the sages to completely separate themselves from the original forging world system. This is somewhat similar to the situation of the forging generals, who are both the rulers of Mars and members of the High Lords Council. A member, so in a sense, serving as a sage not only represents the Omnissiah's status in the imperial administrative system, but also represents the rights and interests of a certain forge world in the hive.

The Nessen system has always been the "reservation" of Griffin IV. Even before Soshyan became an Astartes, the Nessen system only had mechanical priests from Griffin IV. For a long time after Nessen IV became the Chapter's home planet, the planet's Adeptus Mechanicus system was still dominated by the sages of Griffin IV, until Soshyan introduced the power of Ulan Huda into it. Only then has the replacement of the Adeptus Mechanicus been completed.

It’s not that Soshyan has any dissatisfaction with Griffin IV, it’s just that many things are more assured and smoother without “our own people”. Regarding the power of the Adeptus Mechanicus of Nathan V, Soshyan Young used the same method.

He summoned the five sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus on the planet Nessen 5 and gave them two choices, either to change their sect or to pack up and leave. As the actual ruler of the Nessen galaxy, Sosh Yang naturally had this power, but he did not intend to break with Griffin IV, but explained his intention in a tactful way: this was to unify the consensus of the Adeptus Mechanicus in the Nessen galaxy. He promised to explain the situation to Griffin Four's casting director.

Afterwards, he asked representatives of Ulan Huda to talk to these sages.

The situation is much better than he expected. In fact, the sages who will be sent to this place are basically people who have failed in the struggle in the forging world or have no hope of promotion. After all, the Nessen galaxy can be regarded as a "remote country" "Well, who would be willing to stay in the forging world?

For these fallen sages, there is not such a big psychological barrier to re-entering a forging world with more opportunities and promises, and the opportunity to climb up to become a great sage.

In other words, in the Adeptus Mechanicus, it is common to change families and even become a traitor or spy.

This incident, coupled with Soshyan's experience in Angstrom, made him realize again that the loyalty standards within the Mechanicus are flexible and diverse, which also made him understand better why Xian They are often described as highly self-interested individuals.
