Lord of Industrialization

Frederick always makes a big move when he goes out, and the high-level officials of the Principality of Wessen have been waiting for him.

In Budweis, after drinking beer, Frederick immediately sent the matter of the partner city back to Wessenburg in the form of a formal document by telegram.

The document was of high level, and the Supreme Ministerial Conference immediately launched an emergency meeting.

Except for the Minister of Military Affairs, Franz the Younger, who was in Hammar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Christian, who was leading Frederick, and the Minister of Culture, Maria, who was next to Frederick, the three departments were represented by deputy ministers, and the rest of the staff came to the meeting the next day.

Today's meeting was chaired by Frick, the Minister of Administration and the first vice chairman of the Supreme Ministerial Conference.

He first asked everyone to spend an hour studying the documents.

Everyone was familiar with Frick's meeting routine, first let people express their opinions, and make a decision if there was no problem, coordinate small problems, and take out a book of Frederick's quotations to quote classics if big problems could not be coordinated.

Outsiders thought that he was sitting in a position below Frederick and Psyche in the Duchy of Wessen because he knew he was incompetent and relied on his seniority to wait for retirement.

The officials attending the meeting realized that he could influence the topic in the direction he wanted by quoting the Grand Duke of Wessen's quotations.

Everyone quickly finished reading the document and began to discuss with each other.

"Partner city?"

"Not involving politics and military?"

"Is this work included in the performance appraisal of officials?"

The ministers and governors took this issue seriously. Anything related to performance appraisal should not be underestimated.

The Duchy of Wessen is now in an upward period. Although it has not expanded its territory in the past two years, and the third five-year plan starting next year is also mainly based on internal development, who can predict what will happen in the future?

If the Grand Duke of Wessen occupies a large area again in a few years, the first thing to do is to transfer officials from the duchy to promote them, and secondly, someone will fill the vacant position. At that time, naturally, those with good performance in previous years will be selected.

In the Duchy of Wessen, towns are divided into third-level cities and second-level towns according to their size.

Under the civil servants hierarchy system designed by Frederick, the principality-state-city-town system and the central-local official exchange system, the promotion channels of the main departments of the municipal government → the second-level mayor → the chief of the municipal government department → the first-level mayor → the deputy official of the state government department → the third-level mayor → the chief of the state government department → the second-level mayor → the deputy official of the principality government department → the first-level mayor → the minister and governor of the principality government were established. In principle, the appointment of officials in new territories is based on this. Officials of technical departments such as the Ministry of Railways must also serve as department heads in the corresponding places.

To be promoted, you must have excellent performance appraisals. Those who are qualified can only be transferred at the same level, and those who fail will be demoted.

Ministers and governors currently have no room for promotion, but they all have a large group of people behind them to help them.

The annual performance appraisal of local officials needs to be approved by the local parliament, based on the work implemented. Ministers and governors can operate the appraisal in government departments, and there is not much that the local government can do.

Now that new performance appraisal bonus items have appeared, everyone can only roll up on the new track.

When the time came, Frick first asked the Minister of Education, Father Arms: "What do you think about this?"

Father Arms said slowly: "My hometown has been ravaged by war for decades, the population has declined, the land has been barren, and the people are living in poverty. If I can get your help, I would like to thank you on behalf of my fellow countrymen."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to everyone.

Frick hurriedly stood up and went over to help him sit down.

Everyone sighed for two seconds, and immediately thought that the reason why Frederick and Maria went to Bohemia for vacation this time was that there were articles introducing the place without warning in newspapers and magazines, and the first article was written by Father Arms.

After Frick helped Father Arms sit down, he said: "Grand Duke Wessen said that it is our spirit to help if we can."

"13 years ago, it was because we carried forward this spirit and helped the victims settle down in Wessen that we have the current glory."

His words set the tone for today's meeting.

The old foxes present saw the two singing the same tune and immediately understood that the direction of this matter had already been set by Grand Duke Wessen, and what was lacking was how to implement it.

Putz Governor Franz, as a localist elder in the government, immediately expressed his position: "13 years have passed in a blink of an eye. At that time, we were like walking on a tightrope between cliffs. If we were not careful, we would be crushed to pieces."

"If it weren't for the master's strong opposition and helping those affected by the flood, we wouldn't have come to this point today."

Wessen Governor Omet also followed up on behalf of the academic school and said: "We escaped from Constantine City at the beginning. If it weren't for the president's help, we don't know where we are now."

Then everyone recalled the past and determined the principle of supporting the actions in the Bohemian region.

Walter, Deputy Minister of Culture and President of Wessen Daily, took out a document and said: "In this matter, Minister Eltal sent important instructions to the Ministry of Culture."

Now everyone, including Frick, became highly serious.

Now Maria is next to Frederick, and her instructions are naturally what Frederick means.

Walter began to read the document.

"After the withdrawal of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Pi, a power vacuum was created in the region. Each region was governed by its own policies, and the people were weak and financially weak, making it difficult to organize production recovery."

"We should lend a helping hand, with cities to cities and towns to towns, to carry out one-on-one paired assistance actions to help the local economy, education and medical care recover."

"Since the Pi Kingdom's policy on the region is still unclear and the Austrian Empire still has influence, the assistance action does not involve the political and military aspects for the time being."

"The assistance action at the municipal level is mainly based on symbolic interest loans in the economy, and develops the local economy in line with the economic needs of the principality; in terms of medical care, hospitals are established to provide doctors, medicines and financial support; in terms of culture, primary and secondary schools are established, with the same textbooks as the principality, and the entrance examination is in line with the principality, vocational education and higher education scholarships are established, and theater troupes are organized for performances and publicity; doctors and teachers can be assisted by providing assistance subsidies, professional title work years exemption and other incentive policies."

"The assistance action at the principality level is mainly based on the Ministry of Culture, and a special committee is established, which is led by the Minister of Culture to promote the construction of railway and highway networks, promote the abolition of the "Landing Law" and "Merchant Goods Sales Law" by the assisted targets, and promote the abolition of local tariffs by the assisted targets, and coordinate the three major links of planning, construction and management of the assistance action at the municipal level."

Everyone is taking notes seriously.

No one was surprised that Maria led the committee. First of all, her rank was high enough. Secondly, she presided over the start-up work of the United Fruit Company in the south, which proved her ability to work and her experience in foreign affairs.

At the same time, the officials felt that Frederick attached great importance to this matter.

After seeing that everyone else had finished recording, Walter said: "The following content cannot be recorded."

Everyone's eyes became solemn.

This "cannot be recorded" used to only appear in confidentiality regulations, indicating that the following content is top secret and will not be recognized outside, but it must be used as a guiding spirit for work.

Next, don't pretend.

"The residents in the south, west and north of the region are similar to our language, culture and customs. We can increase the intensity of education and publicity, increase our sense of identity, and lay the foundation for governance when conditions are ripe."

"The language, culture and customs of the residents in the middle and east of the region are similar to those of the Kingdom of Piast in the north, and they are politically inclined to the Kingdom of Piast. We can vigorously cultivate our agents in the assistance action."

Everyone understood that Grand Duke Wessen had already planned this piece of meat on his plate, but the plate was too small to fit it at present, so he had to take it slowly.

If the work is done well, maybe it can be swallowed directly without the army.

This is a good thing, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. In the end, it is still a matter of money.

Giovanni immediately said: "Now the ratio of loans to deposits in the principality has reached a very dangerous level, and no new bonds can be added."

Then the Minister of Finance Ehard found that everyone was looking at him, scratched his bald head, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The treasury is tight, and we can't increase revenue in the short term. We can only cut costs. Will you do it?"

No one dared to say yes.

Then everyone looked at the mainstay of the Duchy of Wessen.

Psyche sat there reading a novel like in the previous meeting, and found that everyone was looking at her,

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't have money." Psyche shrugged, "Even if I tell you where the largest gold mine is here, you can't go there. It's about 300 kilometers away from the iron mine in the Grouse Forest."

Everyone was speechless. Last winter, the people who were exploring the railway in the Grouse Forest were driven crazy, injured, and killed by the endless darkness and extreme cold.

Psyche sighed and said, "I have a way to get a lot of money in a short period of time. Let's discuss it with Wesson and make a plan."
