Chapter 549: Tide Surge (I)
"Production around the world has already entered a period of transformation, and now is the beginning of this transformation. ”
At the regular meeting, the maid solemnly said this, and many nobles in the audience either gave up on themselves, completely gave up resistance, and took the initiative to delegate power to the government officials below, or just like Mar Rojas, a nobleman who took refuge in the side of the chief maid, wanted to continue to climb up, and made a look of hard work.
As a nobleman who had seen the strong potential of the head maid and the lord at the beginning, Mar Rojas had naturally been proud of his recent success, even if someone behind his back said that he was becoming inflammatory.
It's a consequentialist world, where not many people care about the process except for those who are morally clean, and more people only care about the outcome.
And in the eyes of many people with moral purity, Mar Rojas is on the side of 'justice' this time, and he helps the head maid who thinks about the common people to defeat the nobles who exploit the people, so he will not be blamed by anyone.
Mar Rojas sat in the audience, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and the pen in his hand did not stop.
Although he was a little proud now, just like before, the way he worked hard to govern the territory before was more than just pretending - he wanted to keep climbing!
"I think you should also be aware of one thing, and that is that at the moment, factory workers are paid more a year than farmers for a whole year, and that's the most noteworthy point!"
Hearing this, many nobles who were planning to give up on themselves raised their heads.
None of them are stupid, and the head maid's sentence has basically pointed out what they need to pay attention to.
The workers earn more than the farmers, which means that the farmers will definitely be willing to work in the factory, and it also means that if they can't handle the situation, then there may be no one to farm......
But then, they went back to languishing.
The head maid can always solve the problem, as long as the head maid is out of the horse, any problem can be solved, why are they worried about this?
Just because some people are decadent doesn't mean everyone is as decadent as they are.
Some people are still quietly waiting for the next sentence of the head maid, but some people's minds are running flexibly because of the head maid's words.
What does the chief maid mean by this? Mar Rojas speculated about the deep meaning contained in this sentence, although he also thought that there was not necessarily any deep meaning in the chief maid's words, but if he wanted to climb up, he had to seize every possible opportunity.
The maid's gaze wandered over the officials and nobles, but she saw that most of them were sitting quietly in their chairs waiting, their dull faces almost identical.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help frowning.
Because of the strong attitude of taking care of everything before, she didn't give enough trust to her officials, so now, they are starting to become a little dissatisfied with her.
Are they now machines that only obey orders? Is it her fault?, the maid frowned and pondered.
After the words fell, the head maid had not spoken for a long time, and in the silent conference room, officials and nobles from various territories began to become a little flustered.
They didn't dare to communicate and make noise at such a time, but the frequent turning of pages in their hands, the action of scribbling something in their notebooks with a pen, and the uneasy expressions on their faces expressed that their hearts were not at peace now.
"Maid Lord!"
At this moment, Baron Rojas, who had observed the faces of the people around him and the faces of the chief maid, raised his hand.
All eyes were on him, and the maid couldn't help but look at the nobleman a few more times, it seemed that he was quite discerning, and very thoughtful.
"Baron Rojas, please take the floor. ”
The corners of the maid's mouth curled slightly, what she needed now was such an example who could lead others.
She is a ruler, but she is by no means a stubborn self-servant, wishing that her subordinates would be tyrants who only obey her orders.
Originally, she wanted to let her officials have their own ideas, but she underestimated the influence of her previous strength on them, and also ignored the different backgrounds of the times and the completely different ways of thinking of people.
Thankfully, there is still a person here who knows what he wants to do now.
Mar Rojas straightened his collar, stood up and looked around, and when he saw the surprised faces of the people around him, he curled the corners of his mouth and snorted softly.
"Lord maid, after your previous reminder, I have a deep understanding of one thing, that is, we need to pay attention to agriculture, develop agriculture, and do a good job in balancing agriculture and industry, so that the Principality of Sorrow can be better developed. ”
Baron Rojas's performance surprised the maid a little, who taught him this official tone?
Although it is still a little rusty, there is no focus in every word, only the strategy, but not how to implement it, how to do such a good job, and what kind of preparation to do before doing the work, without mentioning a word.
The maid tapped her index finger on the table, fortunately Cervantes was not here now, otherwise she would have taunted the nobleman on the spot.
Baron Rojas was right. ”
The maid nodded, first affirming Mar Rojas's statement, and then, when his face was just about to glow with joy, she suddenly added: "Then Baron Rojas, I hope that after this meeting, before the next meeting begins, you will be able to make a few plans." I'll leave this matter to you for now, okay?"
Mar Rojas's smile froze on his face, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, as if he heard some snickering coming from beside him.
Although he was 'given a heavy responsibility', he always felt that the maid was expressing his dissatisfaction to him.
Baron Rojas racked his brain to think about what was wrong with his previous statement, but he never found the reason, but he seemed to have kept the head maid waiting for a long time......
"Yes, Master Maid, I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Baron Rojas gritted his teeth and took the task.
He only had a month, and in this month, he not only had to make several plans, but also think carefully about what he had said wrong, which caused the displeasure of the head maid.
Baron Rojas quietly raised his hand to wipe a cold sweat after taking his seat, this room was obviously very warm, but he was still aroused in a cold sweat.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the baron, the maid gave him some time to prepare, and a month should be enough, after all, it was winter, and there was much less work to be done than in the other three seasons.
"Now on to the next agenda. ”
As Edith announced her next agenda, the maid swept her eyes across the stage and found that after Mar Rojas's remarks, some people's minds had become active, almost with eagerness written on their faces.
Obviously, they may also be aware of some of her change in attitude, and although it may be just speculation, it seems that they also want to show themselves in front of her.
"This winter, we need to do another cold relief operation to ensure that not too many people die this winter, and we also need to discuss how to deal with the refugees in the camps, and ask everyone to speak as actively as possible and come up with solutions this morning. ”
The civil war in the Kingdom of Korot is over, and even in the territory bordering the Duchy of Sorrow, there are only some minor frictions left between the lords, and the refugees naturally need to be repatriated, but before that, they need to confirm how many people need to be repatriated and how many can stay.
The population of the Principality of Sorrow is still scarce, so they have to plan ahead.
Next, it's up to them to do what they want to do......
Looking at the eager officials in the audience, the maid smiled, her eyes flashing.
Everything now seems to be moving in the direction she wants.
