After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Lorraine ignored them, just paused, and then returned to the topic, saying: "They will be brainwashed at West Point Military Academy... uh, receive training to strengthen their sense of discipline. After the training, they will be assessed for employment. Only those who pass the exam will be
Those who are qualified will continue to serve, and those who are unqualified will all go home."
(In "Toy Story 3", classmate Buzz Lightyear said a very philosophical word when facing the evil Baby Bear commander: "Don't worry, sir, I have been brainwashed in the military academy~!"
)
“Not only will there be a military academy, but I will also build a public relations academy as a training school for all civil servants in Nai’an.
If someone wants to be an official in the future, academic qualifications and diplomas will be an important reference."
Seeing no one objected, Lorraine thought to herself: Fortunately, there are not so many messy colleges in this era that issue correspondence doctorate diplomas. Otherwise, these guys will definitely think that I am running a pheasant college to get money in disguise~!
Everyone was silent for a moment, silently considering the pros and cons that this news would bring to them.
After they thought about it carefully, everyone was worried. This move was quite poisonous. Wasn't it just a reshuffling of the cards?
This is equivalent to removing everyone from their posts and returning all official positions to Lorraine.
Recruit these people to the capital for observation for a while. When the time comes, those who obey will be promoted and those who are disobedient will be dismissed.
With just one or two trainings like this, all the middle-level officials in Nai'an will be replaced by people who are obedient to the Governor of Lorraine.
In this way, without any effort, officials like Nai'an who colluded with the local nobles were easily dismissed by Lorraine with high-sounding excuses, and the entire Nai'an province was held in Lorraine's hands.
What's more, using examinations to select officials is an unprecedented change~!
You know, the selection of imperial officials used to be all selected from the nobles.
But as soon as this order came out, from a legal perspective, as long as the poor people could get good grades, they could also become officials. They would be on an equal footing with the nobles, and even use the power in their hands to ride on the nobles.
To be domineering and blessed.
However, even though everyone had different opinions, facing this young governor who had just carried out a major purge, everyone was shocked by his thunderous methods and did not dare to raise them for a while.
Lorraine paused for a while, seeing that everyone was silent, he couldn't help but coughed slightly, and said: "Do you have any different opinions? Speak boldly, it doesn't matter. Speak freely. Don't worry, I won't make a fuss and then retaliate.
of."
The more he said this, the more the officials shut their mouths, "No one talks? No retaliation?"
Please~! If you really don’t have this intention, how could you think of this? This is obviously a threat. Everyone has been an official for so many years, and they will all memorize this.
Even if you are confused now, if you can’t even hear this, there is no need to mess around~!
After everyone looked at each other, Angus reacted first, flattered him, and said: "Your Excellency, you are indeed a genius. Just a moment's thought, and he came up with something that all my subordinates would rack their brains to think of in a hundred years."
A clever plan that cannot be realized. My admiration for you, sir, is like the roar of a river..."
The officials also reacted. They all looked at Angus with admiration. No wonder he could become the chief political officer? This level of flattery is indeed beyond everyone's reach~!
They also praised loudly one after another.
"My lord is wise."
"Yes, yes, this method is good."
"Once and for all."
"And it doesn't take much effort, great~!"
"High, it's so high~!"
"..."
For a time, there was a flood of flattery and flattery.
In the face of everyone's flattery, if it were anyone else, no matter how humble he was, he would have reached the level of a successful person. But Lord Lorraine just nodded humbly, and then calmly continued: "Since everyone agrees,
Then let’s prepare and start implementing it.”
Everyone grinned.
Don't you agree? Your boss has said, "I have the final say on my territory." If you raise objections at this time, you are seeking death. Maybe Lorraine will slap her on the shoulder and say: You're a good guy, I think highly of you, and so do you.
Let’s go to training again~!
General Larry hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, what should I do with those soldiers who mutinied in Taysil City?"
Lorraine thought for a while and said: "I have already conducted a preliminary investigation on this matter. It was all instigated by the officers, and the soldiers were also deceived.
Besides, I can't kill three hundred Naian children at once, or my reputation will be ruined on the street.
Except for the few officers who are the culprits and severely punished, I will deal with the other soldiers."
No matter how much others flatter him, Lorraine knows clearly: no matter what the reason is, if he kills three hundred local soldiers at once, he can add another "cruelty" to his honorary achievements.
But these mutinous soldiers were also a hot potato in Lorraine's hands.
Mutiny is also a serious crime under military law. Officers who lead a mutiny will be punished by death. Soldiers who participate in mutiny will be punished by death, at worst, or by hard labor for more than ten years.
However, Lorraine did not want to deal with three hundred Naian soldiers at once. These were all Naian children. Even if they were working as slaves, Lorraine had greatly offended the Naian people in Texir City.
But it is even worse not to deal with it. It has made such a bad start and dealt with such a serious crime as mutiny lightly. This is lax law enforcement and means that Lorraine will damage her prestige. In the future, others will follow the same example and engage in illegal gatherings.
The consequences of the incident will only become more serious.
Lorraine was thinking as she glanced at the faces of the officials present. After seeing Belen sitting behind the crowd, he suddenly thought of a solution: Archduke Julius, the cheap father-in-law, had been using death squads in the past.
Threaten yourself.
This time I plan to send him more than two hundred suicide squads, so that he, the cheap father-in-law, can help deal with them.
For these mutinous soldiers, it is their luck to come back alive from the battlefield on the Eastern Front. If they cannot come back, it can be considered as sacrificing their lives for the country, which is better than carrying the name of rebellion and risking their lives in the quarry.
——In the current Ruman Empire, the mortality rate of labor prisoners is 40%.
However, what Lorraine didn't expect was that this method would later be learned by Prime Minister Russell, who had been paying attention to him.
This old guy did a lot more than Lorraine. He sent all the civil and military officials and nobles who he disliked to the front line for a reason.
Even if he couldn't find a reason, he still patted the other party's shoulder: Boy, I'm optimistic about you. As the saying goes, when the storm comes, you will transform into a dragon~! The empire needs you to contribute, go quickly. Countless rich people.
Great achievements are waiting for you to create~!
Then send them to the frontline death squads.
Later, when he threatened others, he no longer had to lose his official position. Instead, he just imitated the head of state in 1944 and said, "Send me to the Eastern Front!"
Everyone wants to be as honest as possible~!
When Lorraine came back from the office, Adele had already received the news, but she couldn't wait to grab Lorraine and push her onto the sofa. Then she folded her legs and sat on the armrest of the sofa, pressing Lorraine.
Lin looked over his shoulder and asked: "Is your plan for West Point Military Academy feasible?
We all came from Maple Leaf Danlin, and we all know what’s going on at the military academy there. Not to mention your strategy department. There’s no need to rush into implementing this plan, right?”
Next to her, Catherine put down the documents she was dealing with and said, "That's right, Lorraine, if you ask me, it would be better to send all these officers to my father and exchange some of my own people from there.
Come, the entire province's armaments are in our hands.
Also, what should we do if there are so many positions vacant now? If the deputy positions are replaced, then our efforts will be in vain. I know those grassroots officials too well. It will not take half a year for them to emerge solidly."
Lorraine smiled and said: "Don't worry! I don't really want to train them in military skills. What is the biggest problem we are facing now?"
Catherine spread her hands, sighed, and said: "I don't have any of my own people. There are many middle-level officials, so I won't mention them. But even for deputy public affairs and deputy finance, two important positions are vacant, and I can't even find them."
Someone will take over."
Lorraine nodded and said: "This military academy is just an experimental method, and the public relations school behind it is the focus.
We recruit all mid-level and senior officers to the military academy, but it is clearly stipulated that after graduation, they must pass an exam and compete for positions. Moreover, I am an officer recruited from below based on twice the number of positions."
Leo slapped his thigh, raised his thumb, and shouted: "Boss, you are really tall. We have to eliminate half of the people. In this way, those who want to keep their official positions will have to give us gifts desperately."
Catherine frowned, raised her hand and gave him a slap in the face, saying: "Go, it's nothing to do with you, this little gangster, don't let him come up with bad ideas."
Leo screamed immediately and shouted angrily: "I tell you, don't hit me on the head. Be careful, I will become stupid later and cannot govern the country well. I can only marry you off and make love with others."
Catherine was furious for a moment.
She bit her lip, then looked at Leo with a half-smile, and said, "When the day comes, I will make peace with you first. I will find you an orc who never bathes and whose mouth smells like garlic as your wife."
Leo was immediately startled, turned around and hid behind Adele.
Catherine snorted proudly, then turned to look at Lorraine.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Actually, it's almost the same as what Leo said. Half the elimination rate, those people dare not listen to us."
Catherine raised her slender and picturesque eyebrows, looked at Lorraine, and continued dissatisfied: "In this case, how will you arrange the extra people? Everyone went to school, but they didn't get any official positions.
But it will cause trouble."
Lorraine smiled and said: "We can scatter all the extra officers. We will just set up reserve militia in the countryside. In this way, if there is trouble at the border and the orcs invade, we can easily
Through them, we can raise twice as many legions to enhance our combat power."
Catherine was shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed. After a long time, she murmured: "There is also this way to form a militia? This is really great. Why didn't I think of it before?
Those militia groups serve the people in peacetime and the army in wartime. It sounds nice to say it, but there are no professional officers to take command, and there is no complete organizational system.
At best, their fighting power is just a group fight with a bunch of gangsters, and they still lose more than they win. But after your change, I believe that their fighting power must have been greatly enhanced."
Lorraine looked at her excited pretty face and added slowly: "And except for some officers' salaries, the rest of them don't cost us any money at all. And because they are defending their homeland, these guys must be
It will be quite hard.”
Catherine thought for a long time, finally sighed, and said with a wry smile: "This plan is really... it is really wicked, but it is also practical enough. Forget it, this is your territory, you can do whatever you want with it.
"
Adele thought for a moment and said, "But what about your exam?"
I can tell at a glance that you have never taken the civil service exam and you are saying such childish words. Lorraine looked at her bright eyes and couldn't help but secretly thought to herself.
He patted Adele on the shoulder and said, "Don't tell me that you didn't do anything bad when you were taking the exam at Maple Leaf Danlin. You caught their mistakes, and then to see who didn't like them, you deliberately gave them a score of 59."
Adele became so angry that she hit Lorraine hard on the shoulder and said angrily: "That's all for a reason. Those bad kids never go to class."
Lorraine was hit by her pink fist, and her bones were about to break. She could only parry again and again, saying: "Even skipping your class, these people deserve zero points. Where can I find such a beautiful teacher?"
go."
"Oh haha... that's right. They deserve it~!" Adele said proudly.
Lorraine ignored her and turned to Leo and asked, "Aren't your insurance lecturers still there? Let them teach the officers."
Leo groaned and said, "You mean those insurance brokers who were trained according to the AIS9000 MLM standards? There are only a few here, and they are training those insurance agents."
Lorraine thought for a moment and said: "That's enough. Given their abilities, it's enough to give these people some basic training."
Leo rolled his eyes, walked to Lorraine, smiled and said to Adele: "Sister Adele, you are beautiful again."
Adele rubbed Leo's head and said with a smile: "You little ruffian, what do you want to do?"
"No, no, I just want to discuss something with the boss." Leo nodded and bowed.
"Okay, whatever you want, I'm going to wash up and go to bed." Adele sat up and gave Lorraine a wink.
Catherine looked at the thick pile of documents in her hand, rubbed her forehead in distress, and sighed.
Leo came closer to Lorraine and kept laughing.
Lorraine looked at Leo and knew that this little ruffian must have thought of another way to make money.
Leo smiled and said: "Boss, let's discuss it."
"Well, if you have money to earn together, let's talk about it."
Catherine looked up and saw Leo and Lorraine's heads hunched together, whispering, and said worriedly: "You two, have you come up with another crooked idea?"
Leo shouted: "No more, it's business, business." Then he turned around and whispered to Lorraine: "Boss, when you run the West Point Military Academy, you don't have teachers yet, right?"
Lorraine nodded.
"Well, there's no campus yet, right?" Leo then asked.
"Yes, it's not easy to find such a large area in Naider City. I'm wondering whether to build it outside the city." Lorraine said.
"Well, since so many people have food, accommodation, and learning tools, shouldn't the government pay for these expenses?"
Lorraine nodded and said, "This is the plan." Then Lorraine smiled and said, "I know what your idea is. It's not bad, you are focusing on the education and training industry so quickly."
Lorraine also became excited, clapped her hands, and said: "This is an industry where individuals and wealth can be acquired at the same time. Among other things, the stone and the small tree are my idols." (Understanding, he silently recited "I am not pure" and faced the wall.
)
Leo smiled flatteringly and said, "Isn't the good news going to outsiders? Our Feiying Company has contracted this academy, and we have the teachers and the venue. We Feiying Company have all these things."
Not only does the money you earn belong to you, these people are trained in our hands. According to the training methods the boss said, we will keep them docile and docile, ensuring that the boss is satisfied."
Lorraine chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, but this..."
"Kickback, I understand," Leo waved his hand boldly like a veteran businessman, and said: "You are my boss, we are on our own, I will give you fifteen points."
Lorraine said: "Twenty!"
"No," Leo said decisively, and then he counted on his fingers: "Look, you are the chairman of Feiying Company. This business is contracted by the two of us. If you give such a high kickback,
After all, I only got a quarter of it. The brothers are just fooling around with you."
"Okay then." Lorraine and Leo high-fived each other and said with a smile, "Deal."
Leo laughed heartily.
Catherine didn't even raise her head, she kept signing in her hand, and said coldly: "Don't forget to pay taxes."
"Ah?" Lorraine and Leo exclaimed at the same time, instantly petrified.
In order to prevent others from gossiping about this kind of transaction, Lorraine and Leo, the two big bosses of the Flying Eagle Company, would of course not come forward.
The deputy general manager of Flying Eagle Company asked to see Mr. Sexton, the public works officer, on the same day. After some pleasantries and a generous gift, the deputy general manager of Flying Eagle Company formally expressed his desire to contribute to the construction of Nai'an.
If you are willing to contribute, I heard that we are planning to build a college here. Let us leave it to Feiying Company. We are good at construction.
Public Works Officer Sexton greatly praised Feiying Company for its active approach in solving problems for the government, saying that Feiying Company is really our company.
He happily handed over the gift and immediately expressed that although this matter needed to be decided by the Governor, he would definitely speak favorably for the Flying Eagle Company in front of the Governor.
