Chapter 1210: His Excellency the Patriarch makes a small report

In Roland's original plan, the management of the village commune consisted of only four positions: village chief, priest, druid, and sheriff, and it was discovered that an additional position was needed to manage the commune's treasury and savings bank. Originally, it was intended that the village chief would be in charge of the financial work, but with the increase of the central government's financial support for the commune pilot, the management of materials such as ploughing horses, farm tools, and seeds has become more and more complicated.

Those policies that seem beautiful on paper are difficult to maintain in the course of their actual implementation, especially those involving rural and agricultural issues, and the situation of "crooked monks chanting scriptures" is particularly serious. Roland didn't know how the sages of the world of Varess implemented the reforms and made sure they were implemented in place, which is not a good idea if you look at the lessons of history on Earth. From Wang Anshi to Zhang Juzheng to Emperor Chongzhen, from Tsar Alexander II to Stolypin, and the guillotined Louis XVI and the ministers he appointed who tried to push for reforms: Mopu, Durga, Marzebble, Cluny, Neck, Burian...... Future generations can draw countless bloody lessons from these unfinished and even completely failed reforms, but one of them must be recognized by all: without a team of cadres who are as united, firm and disciplined as steel, no matter how good the policy is, it will not be implemented; The decree cannot leave the capital, and no matter how far-sighted the decision-makers are, "a big game of chess" will not be of much use.

It is on the basis of this reflection that Roland has come to realize that the assets and accounts of the village commune must be in the hands of the grassroots cadres who are truly trustworthy and have the strongest resistance to corruption.

"Xiangxian" is an indispensable "lubricating oil" for rural governance, but if you put money and "grease" together, the money will inevitably be stuck with oil. Roland did not want to pay the so-called "incorruptible" cost, and the "village sage" was first excluded from the candidate for treasurer.

The village sheriffs who were transferred from junior officers were mostly rude warriors with a low level of education, and were not suitable for managing delicate financial work, and the Green Druids were commendable in terms of incorruptibility, but how to say it...... Although he has been procedurally transferred from Valentina's protΓ©gΓ© to a civil servant in the Kolas government, after all, he is not a soldier trained by Roland himself, and he is emotionally separated.

The last option was Pastor Sindra, who had a good cultural foundation and swore allegiance to the country in the name of faith, and who was undoubtedly the most trustworthy person for Roland, the priest of his own church, and the treasurer of the village commune.

Taking a step back, although only a few of the 1,000 trainees who have been trained have been able to pass the assessment to obtain the pastoral inheritance, the others who have failed the assessment can also master the basic accounting skills during the training process, and even if they cannot become pastors in the future, it is not difficult to find a well-paid career in the field of industry and commerce.

After Roland's speech, he planned to leave, and there were tons of work to be done on "No. 10" and "No. 23", and there was really no time to delay in the seminary. However, after all, he could not defeat the Patriarch Boris, and he was grabbed by the old man and sent to the confessional room, "There is a very serious matter to discuss with His Highness alone."

"Tell me anything else." Roland asked helplessly.

"Your Highness, in just one month of surprise training, students are required to master basic accounting skills, which is too difficult, I'm afraid most people will fall at this level."

Roland was about to reiterate the importance of financial work, but Boris was the first to speak.

"Your Highness, listen to me first, the village pastor is first of all a grassroots civil servant, who has to bear a lot of administrative work, and is also the representative of the church, and has the obligation to preside over the sacraments for the villagers, and the priest must also preside over the weddings and funerals of every family, as well as part-time village doctors and primary school teachers.

"You're right, but we don't have a better way now, do we?" Roland spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "We can only work hard for pastors to carry more burdens, and when the environment at home and abroad improves in the future, we will consider reducing their burden." ”

On the issue of the use of cadres, the phenomenon of "whipping fast cattle" is very common. Of course, this is not a good thing, but in reality, it is unavoidable, Roland can only give some compensation to those who are brave enough to bear the burden from the incentive level, and cannot completely rely on the "faith dividend" provided by the goddess sister.

"It is necessary to formulate a set of detailed incentive policies to give comprehensive rewards in terms of material, promotion and honor to civil servants with a heavier division of labor."

Boris tugged at the corners of his lips and smiled: "If you follow this set of standards, Your Highness, you must first issue yourself a medal." ”

"You old man, don't learn from others to do the trick of shaving and slapping horses, the contrast with your temperament is too great, I look uncomfortable." Roland casually joked, and then thought: "This matter must be done as soon as possible, and when the resident priest is dispatched, I will announce the details of the reward mechanism, such as selecting the ten village civil servants with the best work every year and awarding them the title of nobility." ”

Boris nodded and gave His Royal Highness the Prince a name, and then pulled the topic back: "Your Highness, financial work involves a lot of account calculations, and I always conduct surprise training like this, and the knowledge I have mastered is probably not reliable enough, it would be better to send the priest to Baiou Harbor Business School for training for three or five months, but this is not a long-term solution, in my opinion, the Kingdom of Kolas should have its own business school, and Merlin, that old guy, has no idea?" ”

Roland agrees with his suggestion and candidly expresses his reflections on education:

"Teacher Merlin and I originally thought that there was no need to build a national university in the Far East, but now it seems that we have made a short-sighted mistake, Colasbourg should have a comprehensive institution of higher learning, don't worry, wait for me to talk to Mr. Merlin and come up with a plan for the establishment of Colasburg University as soon as possible."

Boris's face finally showed a smile, but in an instant, it turned into resentment: "I can rest assured that Your Highness has such an arrangement, Merlin, you have to keep an eye on it, that old boy didn't come to work in the cabinet last weekend, and it is said that he went to the Beacon Hill Library to participate in the 'Ancient Book Collection Club' fraternity, and he is old, just this work attitude?" Hmph, the young people in the cabinet still don't know how to laugh at him in private! ”
