Chapter 4: Carrots and Sticks
On the night of May 2, 134 AH, after soaking Stranzie to sleep, Shata wanted to leave Byrensburg and find a place to live in seclusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But she found that she couldn't leave Byronsburg at all, because she was not familiar with the terrain and got lost before she could get out of the castle.
If she hadn't been spotted by the soldiers on night patrol, she would have spent the night in the castle. Shata lied that she had lost her way while walking, but the patrol did not believe her and sent her directly to the patrol leader on duty. The patrol captain is a Tairong man and a close confidant of Yishan. He knew that there was a group of Leiting guests in Byronsburg, so he sent someone to report the situation to Yu Mingli.
Yu Mingli remembered Sata's name, so she sent someone to contact Alice directly to find out where Sata was staying tonight. At this time, Alice was already asleep, and she woke up after Yu Mingli's people knocked on the door outside for a long time. However, Alice is also unfamiliar with the situation in Byronsburg, and only knows that Sharta lives in Tár's residence.
By this time, Maier had left his residence, and all the members of the leadership except Yishan and Euris were summoned to the council chamber for a meeting.
Yu Mingli was also a member of the leadership, and after receiving a notice from Meier, she immediately handed over the business at hand to her deputy, and was the first to come to the council chamber. By the time Alice figured out the location of Tár's residence, Maier had already learned from the crowd what Yishan and Euris had done after she left Byronsburg.
By the time Shata was returned to Tár's residence, it was early in the morning. The crowd had been dismissed by Myer, but everyone had no intention of going home to rest, but gathered outside the council chamber and whispered guesses about Myer's next move.
After learning what Yishan and Uris did after they left, Maier lost his anger. He knew that everything these two people did was normal in the eyes of the nobles. Yishan and Euris are both from aristocratic backgrounds and will definitely think in an aristocratic way, and Maier can understand them.
But understanding is understanding, and Maier will not condone them to do so. Because what he wants is a united and progressive Byronsburg, not a Byronsburg where the leadership begins to compete for power and profit at the stage of development. Their actions seriously affected the normal order of Byrensburg, and before the situation could deteriorate, Meier had to make personnel adjustments.
In the early morning of May 3, Maier summoned all members of the leadership to a meeting in the council chamber. Everyone except Yishan and Yulis waited outside the council chamber, and as soon as they were notified, they entered the council chamber and waited. Yishan and Euris arrived late, but Maier hadn't arrived when they arrived at the council chamber.
In the past, he was the first to arrive at the council chamber when Maier held meetings, but this time he did not show up. When everyone thought it was strange, Maier walked into the council chamber with a smile. At this time, everyone finally noticed that there was a seat next to Mel's seat, which seemed to be prepared for Xiaoxiao.
Maier sat down with a smile, and Yishan and Euris saw that Xiaoxiao actually sat next to Maier, and their faces immediately pulled down. Mel turned his gaze to them, and he was sure that Yishan and Euris had noticed his gaze, because after that, Yishan's face had been stretched longer, and Euris had deliberately pursed her lips, for fear that Mel would not know that she was jealous.
It's really ignorant......
Maier shook his head helplessly, adjusted his mood, and said to everyone.
"I have gathered you here today to announce two things. First of all, I am going to formally implement the system of officials and the system of evaluating officials, as well as the system of decision-making committees in Byronsburg. From now on, Byrensburg will set up an 'Official Appraisal Committee' and a 'Decision-making Committee'. Xiaoxiao temporarily acted as the chairman of the official assessment committee, and the members were personally selected by her. I am also the chairman of the decision-making committee, and I personally appoint the members. ”
"The responsibility of the Officials Appraisal Committee is to conduct regular competency evaluations of officials at all levels and departments in Byronsburg, and officials with insufficient competence will be temporarily suspended and disposed of after deliberation by the decision-making committee. As for the decision-making committee, it is similar to our previous leadership meeting, which is the leadership that decides where Byronsburg is going. But unlike in the past, the responsibility of the decision-making committee is not only for Byronsburg, but also for the migrant camps, and the land we will be given in the future. ”
"I have already decided on the members of the decision-making committee, and the following is the list of members of the decision-making committee of Byronsburg. The acting chairman of the official evaluation committee smiled, the new shrine witch Lingyu, the chairman of the Theological Research Society and the minister of finance of the migrant camp, Larzi? Higgins, vice president of the Theological Fellowship and head of the camp administration, Burton? Bertelle, Director of the General Directorate of Development Planning of Byrensburg Nami Jushi, Minister of Administration of Byrensburg Yu Changnian, Minister of Finance of Byrensburg Pershing? Battier, Deputy Minister of Finance of Bylensburg and Yan Zhiliang, Minister of Security of Bylensburg Yu Mingli, Minister of Security of Migrant Camps Chang Rong, Deputy Minister of Security of Migrant Camps Patton? Battier, eleven in all. ”
"Today's leadership meeting is the last leadership meeting of Byronsburg, and after that, until the system is changed again by Byronsburg, the meetings of the leadership are only meetings of the decision-making committee, and no one outside the decision-making committee can participate. During the implementation of the system, I will appoint new decision-making members or remove incompetent decision-making members, as appropriate. ”
"From now on, the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Public Security will be established in the territories under the jurisdiction of Byronsburg at the town level and at and above the town level, and these three departments shall be responsible for the administrative, financial, and public security work of the territory respectively, and the ministers and deputy ministers shall be appointed and dismissed by me, and the ministers and deputy ministers of the departments shall have the right to directly appoint and dismiss officials below the level of deputy ministers, but the appointment and dismissal shall be subject to the decision of the minister."
"The New Society for the Study of Shrines and Theology, as well as the General Directorate of Development Planning of Bairensburg, will be under the direct jurisdiction of me, of which the General Directorate of Development Planning of Bairensburg will set up the Bairensburg Development Planning Bureau and the Development Planning Bureau of Migrant Camps, each of which shall be responsible for the development planning of these two territories, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel in these two departments shall be the responsibility of the Director of the General Directorate of Development Planning of Bairensburg. In addition, all the units under the unified command of Byronsburg are under my unified command, and I intend to establish a new military system and reorganize the units under Byronsburg according to this system. ”
"The specific division of labor and duties of officials at all levels, as well as the terms of reference of each department, will be discussed and decided in subsequent decision-making committee meetings. I know that there are many issues in the territory and that the decision-making committee members are not very skilled, but I still hope that you will try to find time to attend the decision-making committee meetings and finalize these matters as soon as possible. ”
Mel finished the first thing to be announced in one gulp, and then he gave everyone five minutes to think. After the chamber had quieted down, Xiaoxiao had tea brought to everyone to think while they drank it - of course, her main purpose was to make Maier moisten her throat.
Mel came back from the council chamber last night, and his face turned ugly. Xiaoxiao wants to take Kiki out of the bedroom and give Mel a space to think alone. But Maier took Xiaoxiao's hand and let Kiki leave the bedroom. After that, Mel collapsed on the bed with a smile and no movement.
Myer's breathing was slow and steady, but Smile knew that he wasn't sleeping, but resting while staying conscious. Whenever Maier was too busy to rest, he would lie down with a smile and regain his energy in this way. Xiaoxiao didn't know how effective this method was, but judging by Meier's performance after the break, at least for Meier, it worked.
After resting for about half an hour, Maier got up and thought about how to correct Yishan and Euris's mistakes. But thinking about it, a bold plan came to his mind.
And this plan is the first thing Maier wants to say in the leadership meeting.
There is nothing to say about the official use of the official system, which is the inevitable result of the development of the territory to a certain size. There is nothing to say about the official evaluation system as the equivalent of a monitoring mechanism. The key point is that the chairman of this "official appraisal committee" is Xiaoxiao, and the members of this "official appraisal committee" are appointed by the chairman.
Everyone knows that Yishan and Ulis suppressed Xiaoxiao's subordinates, so Maier's appointment of Xiaoxiao as the acting chairman of the official appraisal committee is obviously telling Yishan and Euris that he already knows about their suppression of Xiaoxiao's subordinates. At the same time, he also made a statement, saying that he was on Xiaoxiao's side.
In the list of members of the decision-making committee, there are no names of Yishan and Uris, but there are names of Xiaoxiao. This means that Maier has fired Yishan and Euris from the leadership, and they are no longer allowed to participate in the leadership's decision-making, at least for the time being.
At the same time, Maier also officially reclaimed military power "by the way", although the security forces may still be placed under the jurisdiction of the local security ministry, but the public security department is directly under the orders of Meier, so the security forces are still Meier's subordinates. When recovering military power, Maier specifically mentioned the words "belonging to Byronsburg", which means that the troops formed by Yishan and Ulis will also be taken by Maier to weaken the influence of the two in Byronsburg.
Yishan and Euris didn't expect that Maier would target themselves so much for the sake of Xiaoxiao, and they were very aggrieved. But they can't cry at the leadership meeting, because it would hurt their face.
Seeing Yishan and Euris holding back tears, Yu Mingli understood the meaning of what Euris said when she comforted herself who was crying because she was overwhelmed when the evil witch attacked Twenty-Nine Village.
Tears shed with joy and tears shed when we are sad and helpless give people a completely different feeling. The former will move people, and the latter will only give birth to pity. Once the nobility is pitied by the commoners, then the nobility will be swept away by their majesty. And majesty, once lost, is difficult to get back.
When Maier saw Yishan and Euris's appearances, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He felt that the stick had been beaten, and it was time to give them carrots to eat, so he cleared his throat vigorously and focused everyone's attention on himself.
"The second thing I want to say has to do with my fiancées. After the development of the territory is on the right track, I will leave Bairensburg again, take Yishan and Euris to Yaolin City and Augsburg, and officially marry them. If nothing happens, I'll be married to my four fiancées in a reasonable order when I come back. After the wedding is all over, I may have to take my wives back to my hometown to take them to meet my parents. ”
As a lord, Mel's life is crucial to the realm. At this stage, what Byronsburg needs most is a marriage with the Xiaohu family and the Kingdom of Urgus. Although Maier is still young, the sooner the heir is born for the territory, the sooner everyone will feel at ease.
For Yishan and Euris, life's events are more important than anything else. Therefore, after Maier announced the news, the grievances in the hearts of the two dissipated in an instant like the morning mist of seeing the sun, and the river of joy rushed in their hearts. Because happiness came too suddenly, the tears that the two of them could not bear burst out of their eyes and slid down like beads with broken threads.
This time they didn't have to worry about losing face, because their tears came after Mel had announced the good news. These tears are stored when they are wronged, but they are shed when they are happy, and the two can't tell whether they are tears of grievance or tears of joy.
Yishan and Ullis's innocent behavior makes Maier feel deeply guilty, as he once again uses their feelings for him to solve the problem. This made him feel more and more that he owed Yishan and Euris too much, to the point that he couldn't pay it back.
I can't hurt them anymore.
Mel wanted to swear secretly, but he didn't dare to do so, because he didn't have faith in himself. So he can only remind himself again that he must take good care of Yishan and Euris in the future and try not to let them be wronged as much as possible.
Xiaoxiao saw through Maier's mind and sighed secretly. She sighed not because Maier wanted to take good care of Yishan and Euris, but she knew that Yishan and Euris might become more willful in the future because of Meier's care. The result of their willfulness is to provoke Mel to be angry, and when Mel is angry, they will be hurt again. After that, Mel will try to coax them, and at the same time regret that he failed to follow through on his original decision, and then there will be a cycle of death that will be painful for everyone.
