Release that Witch - Chapter 1057

[Chapter 1036 New King’s Regime]

The day after he formally ascended the throne, Roland held the third plenary meeting in the castle reception hall.

The main content of the meeting was the issue of power distribution that officials are most concerned about.

As supporters of the right side, this is undoubtedly their long-awaited moment. Serving the local lords is a very different concept than serving the king, especially since most of them have worked in the city hall, and the new king “weakens With a basic understanding of the concept of centralization of local powers and strengthening the central government, this promotion is even more important.

This means that they will become the central officials of the Kingdom of Graycastle from the unknown people in the past, and they will no longer manage the western region. It can be said that their influence is stronger than that of the great nobles in the past.

Naturally, Roland would not allow this “one step to the sky” sentiment to continue to swell in his official ranks, so the general principles were put at the forefront of the meeting at the beginning, “First of all, I am here to congratulate everyone for being invited to participate in this event.” Those who attend the meeting will become part of the upper elite of Graycastle. In the next few decades, you will join me in governing this kingdom together.”

“You are too serious, Your Majesty.” Barov took the lead and stood up, leaning over his chest and said, “It is our honor to serve you! If you have anything to do, please do not hesitate to order, I will not hesitate!”

Although he said humble words, the boss’s face was already wrinkled with a smile, obviously full of expectations for the road ahead.

Roland nodded with a smile, motioned everyone to sit down, and then said slowly, “But there is one thing I want to say before, the purpose of taking back the enfeoffment rights of the nobles is to replace them with capable people; to maintain the prosperity of a kingdom, Depends on how many brilliant minds it has fighting for it, so I don’t want to see you become another kind of aristocracy.”

“Of course…” Barov said hastily, “No one can guarantee that the descendants will also have the same talent, and all positions should be chosen by the best.”

His words immediately aroused a echo.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Roland always feels that these city hall officials have changed a lot from before, even flattering has become much smoother, and there is also an inexplicable awe in the eyes that look at him. This difference makes He had a faint feeling of pleasure.

This is probably also the function of the ceremony.

It’s no wonder that Timothy and Garcia would not hesitate to drag most of the kingdom into the flames of war for this seat.

It’s just that Roland didn’t allow himself to immerse himself in this emotion for too long. Even the supreme king governs only a corner of the vast continent. What is the difference between the chief of the island who said the name?

The world is so big, he wants to see it.

“What you said is just the most basic point.” Roland looked around the hall. “In fact, no one can guarantee that a capable person will always be qualified for his position! The temptation of the outside world, the solidification of thoughts, and the swelling desire, It may ruin a person’s future! You are no exception.”

As he raised his voice, all the ministers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to breathe for a while.

“So entering the center is just the beginning. Your abilities and achievements will get a comprehensive assessment every year. After that, whether you will be promoted or stay in place will be determined by it.” Roland paused, “Of course, there will be worse ones. As a result, for example, those who know that they cannot do anything, but still cause losses to the kingdom, will be cut off from their positions and sent to the court for disposal!”

“Your Majesty…” Barov asked cautiously, “I don’t know who will write this assessment?”

“I’ll be in charge,” Roland looked at him, “Do you have any questions?”

Although the real investigator is Nightingale from the Security Bureau, it is more appropriate to execute it in his name.

“No, minister…it’s gone.”

“I know what everyone is thinking,” he continued, “It’s hard to get to this point, it should be the time to reap the rewards, if you have to walk on thin ice in the future, and you have to keep working hard, then what is the meaning of becoming a central official?” Where is it? What I want to say is that the reward and the above are not in conflict, but a symbiotic relationship. As long as you can complete the tasks I have given, I don’t mind you all profiting for yourself. This is like sharing bread, bread The bigger the bread, the less you get, you can fill your stomach, and the smaller the bread, even if you eat it all by yourself, it’s only a small amount. As for the fact that it’s easier for people who stand in the front to get the bread, I think you all know it.”

The resources that a high-level official can obtain are far from limited to the obvious salary, and his connections and power are both more efficient capital. If he can’t even see this, he doesn’t need this kind of person to stay in the city hall middle.

The driving effect of the combination of sticks and radishes has been verified by a long history. Although it is still very jerky to use, Roland has already begun to try to get familiar with it.

“Before I announce the new appointment and removal, you can still choose to give up. Those who withdraw will receive a large amount of golden dragon compensation, which is large enough to squander for a lifetime; but once you decide to stay, you have to shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of officials. Now, Make a decision!”

No one got up, even the Minister of Chemical Industry, Kemer Strull, who complained incessantly at the beginning and wished to step down as soon as possible, remained silent.

Obviously, the past two years of political experience made him understand that the post of minister is particularly important if he wants to get funds from Barov.

“Very good,” Roland raised the corner of his mouth, “Then the next step is the appointment and dismissal order for everyone!”

Compared with the previous city hall, the biggest change in the new regime system is that other towns across the borders have also been included in the management framework.

He directly adopted the modern division method, setting those big cities as provinces, and governing the towns, villages and other residential areas in the surrounding areas.

The governor of a province is the governor, at the same level as the minister; each province needs to establish a provincial town hall, and its departments are responsible to the Neverwinter town hall.

This set of transformation has the previous second-level city hall as the basis, and it is not difficult to operate, but the workload of the minister will increase a lot, and correspondingly, his power will also increase by one level.

Barov Hemon got his wish and was promoted to be the first Hand of the King. While taking charge of the Ministry of Finance, he was also responsible for coordinating the work of various departments.

As the first batch of managers in Border Town and the chief executive who has cultivated the most talents for the city hall, this position can be said to be perfect. It was a perfunctory word four years ago, but now it has finally become a reality.

In addition, in addition to the parallel institutions such as the City Hall of the Royal Capital, the Army, the Security Bureau, and the Witch Union, Roland also added a brand new department: the General Staff.

Unlike the staff organization that specializes in marching operations, the General Staff is also responsible for formulating foreign policies. Everything related to the “strategic plan” is formulated by this department. Threats, the connection between Dawn, Wolfheart, Eternal Winter, and Fjords will inevitably become closer in the future, and this part needs an organization with a broad vision to assist him in controlling the overall situation.

It was Edith Kant, the Pearl of the North, who assumed the post of Minister.
