Eltaran shook his head and told Roland frankly: "Your current manifestation level is too low to learn the level 8 ability, and when you reach level 15, come back to me, and then I will transplant the 'Mind Control Orb' for you." ”

"It turned out to be the 'Mind Control Magic Ball'......" Roland groaned, and then checked his potential reserves. Casting "Psychic Magic" consumes 1 degree of potential, and just now I asked Eltaran to show "Psychic Surgery" in a row transplanted five new abilities and consumed 20 degrees of potential, and now the remaining potential is still 30 degrees, barely enough to increase to level 14, and it is still far from being upgraded to level 15, not to mention that transplanting the 8th level ability itself costs an additional 8 degrees of potential.

On second thought, I already have a "Star Shield" anyway, although it is a little brittle, and I can still resist one or two waves of attacks, but there is no need to rush to upgrade it to a "Mind Control Orb", and it is not too late to come to Eltaran to learn this Tier 8 ability when I have accumulated enough potential in the future.

Roland and Lyudmila returned to Krasburg from the astral border on the afternoon of January 6.

It was work time, and Roland hurried to the central bank headquarters at No. 23 Financial Street without greeting his father and relatives and friends. On the first day after the annual leave, the working atmosphere of the central bank was not bad. Roland was flipping through the papers in the office while Orome came in to bring hot coffee, intentionally or unintentionally revealing that just before he returned, Katya had just lost her temper, blaming everyone for not "waking up" from the holidays and being listless at work......

Katya, the vice president, is notoriously strong and stern at 23 Financial Street, and her subordinates fear her more than Roland, the big boss. Everyone was trained by her to break out in a cold sweat, and the lazy mentality after returning from vacation was gone, and they quickly returned to a tense and orderly working state.

Roland knew very well that an organization would inevitably have a "supervisor" like Katya who wielded a whip and scolded his subordinates for hard work, otherwise a culture of laziness would inevitably flourish. Katya's style is terrifying to his subordinates and even resentful of individuals, but it is an essential driving force.

Roland has no problem with Katya's stern style, and at most occasionally comes forward to appease the unlucky people who are scolded by her, and buy people's hearts by the way. It is precisely because of the presence of a stern and demanding vice president that his generosity and benevolence are revealed, and he and Katya play different roles, which can be described as mutual fulfillment.

There are two main priorities for the central bank's work after the year. The first is to finance domestic industrial and transport construction. There is nothing to say about the investment in the Karon Industrial Zone, but there are still many unresolved issues in transportation construction, such as prioritizing the construction of railways or roads? Is it necessary to take advantage of the dry season to clear the channel of the Veres River to strengthen inland shipping?

Roland is well aware of the importance of transportation for the development of the national economy, the degree of industrialization of a country can be measured by the convenience of transportation, but whether it is railways, highways or river shipping involves a large number of road and bridge projects, the need to dispatch tens of thousands of labor, involving hundreds of industries and departments, not only need to improve the overall planning, investment is often millions of dollars.

After the New Year, the "China Development Bank" under the central bank will focus on supporting the construction of domestic waterway transportation, but national investment alone is not enough to support this costly plan, and must raise some funds from the private sector to make up for the budget gap.

In addition to the China Development Bank, the central bank has two subordinate policy banks. Among them, the task of the Export-Import Bank is relatively simple, and at present it is a job to import advanced weapons and equipment and strategic resources. For example, the import of airships and mechanical armor from the North Sea Federation, the import of magic crystals from the Twilight Vale and the Silver Sky, and the business of Pegasus imported from Canaan are also being discussed. On the other hand, the Agricultural Development Bank had a heavier task of financing the land reform, the construction of village communes, and the creation of state-owned farms, all of which involved a myriad of operations, with Roland at the helm and his energetic, thoughtful and capable deputy, Miss Katya.

There are many things to do, but there is no urgency, and we have to do them one by one. Roland plans to focus on rural agriculture in the next period of time, as the so-called "have food in your hands, don't panic in your heart", solve the food problem, and other problems will be easy to solve. He was about to talk to Yodle, the Minister of Agriculture, when he unexpectedly received a magical text message from Lyudmila from the Prime Minister's residence.

"At the cabinet meeting that just ended, Mr. Jodel proposed a bill to speed up the domestic land reform, which was opposed by the 'woke faction' ministers headed by Zinovi, and Yodel made a defense, but it is said that the attitude was not very resolute, due to the controversy, His Majesty decided to put this bill on hold for the time being, and then discuss it later, I guess His Majesty is also hesitating, and most of them want to talk to you about this issue."

Lyudmila, the cabinet secretary, was not qualified to attend the meeting, but her mother, the Minister of Commerce, Yevgenia, could get the exact news as soon as the meeting ended, and immediately reported to Roland's side.

"Got it, I'll go to the 10th after I'm done here." Roland closed the "Higher Communication Stone", and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

The agrarian reform bill was nominally proposed by Agriculture Minister Yodel, but who in the cabinet did not know that the blueprint for this bill came from the relevant chapter of his "Five-Year Plan for National Development and Construction".

Roland took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, recalled what Lyudmila had just said, and savored the true mentality of the cabinet ministers.

Lyudmila said that Jodel's interpretation and defense of the proposal was "not firm enough" and "not convincing", which showed that the Minister of Agriculture himself lacked confidence in the bill for comprehensive land reform, and even that he was not fully aware of the need and urgency of implementing land reform, which made Roland regret that he felt the need to find a time to talk to him in depth about the issue.

Another thing that disturbed Roland even more was that his father, His Majesty Rudolph, also showed a hesitant and weak mentality about carrying out land reform, otherwise he could have used the power of the monarch to make a decision, and did not care about those opposing voices at all.

Roland recalls that although he and his father had talked twice about land reform, they were not deep enough, so it is no wonder that his father was swayed by the opposition.
