Chapter 330: Peace and Sincerity (10)
"Pat, Ankara will be left to you."
Patrick was stunned by his wife's words, and he subconsciously widened his eyes and glanced at other places a few times before looking at his wife. "Sheila, I don't quite understand what you're talking to those people."
"Those people are not doing well, and they want to get through this. I'll help them get through this and I'll talk about that later. Sheila patiently recounted her thoughts.
"What about later?" Patrick only felt that the future was uneasy for him.
"Later, later. Get through this first. Sheila sighed.
His wife's words made Patrick even more uneasy, and he continued to ask, "Isn't this the same as us taking on the debts of these people!" β
"Pat, do you think these people don't want to make money on their own? I don't think they want to get to where they are today, so help them carry it first. And the money bank not only lends money to those who do not run well, but also to those who have the ability to do so. We're going to think about the people of Suren. β
"Suren will join as well?" Patrick's eyes lit up.
"Of course he will!" Sheila's answer was categorical.
Patrick immediately felt that the dark clouds in front of him had all dissipated, and Suren's Grange was similar to the Balden family, both of which were an aristocratic group with powerful people at their core. Although Suren was considered a 'strange man', the Baldens did not deny Suren his power because of his strangeness. A man who can make the nobles who are nine times his land willing to follow is naturally powerful.
While they were talking, the waiter came in and said, "Your Excellency Suren has arrived. β
"Hurry up and invite him in." Patrick replied immediately. Not long after, Suren led several nobles into Sheila's room, and as soon as she sat down opposite Sheila, Suren said, "Your Excellency, I have long wanted to say that I am very grateful to Your Excellency for supporting our athletes. With those people, I was spared the misfortune of other nobles. β
"What does this have to do with athletes?" Patrick was curious.
Sheila smiled and didn't say a word, she had received good athletic training in the office. At that time, the style of the office was that women were used as men and men were used as animals. In fact, this style is no different from the general level of Eastern Rome, and the difference of the office is that it 'no longer uses labor brutally'. More specifically, the office considers that the labor force needs to recover, and in order to make the labor force recover more effectively and be healthier and stronger, in addition to reasonable working hours, it is also necessary to educate the labor force on how to maintain the body.
Sure enough, as Sheila said, what Suren said to Patrick was something that was on the executive level. With athletes as coaches, many incorrect force postures have been corrected, and Suren himself has his own talent for how to distribute the physical strength of his hands. Coupled with Sulunken's investment in improvement tools, the result of several conditions added up is that most of these workers under Suren can stay healthy, and gradually master skills in rounds of work, and their efficiency has been greatly improved.
Watching Patrick frown, nod, and laugh for a moment. Sheila thought about Xie Song's words, and Xie Song also admired Su Lun and thought that Su Lun was a person who could understand management. Sheila praised Xie Song as much more powerful than Su Lun, and Xie Song said that it was the education of the Zhao official family, and that 'the barbaric use of manpower, which was so much appreciated by the reactionaries in the Middle Ages, was supplemented by extreme laziness.' Scientific management proves what human activity can achieve'.
Thinking of the education received by those Great Song officials, Sheila was truly envious. Someone teaches, and you can afford to lose. Only those officials of the Great Song Dynasty deserve such an evaluation. Sheila, who was considered a big figure in Eastern Rome, was just an auditor who failed to receive a systematic education in front of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Well said!" Patrick couldn't help but cheer loudly, he was moved by Suren's simple words. If you arrange your work according to your physical abilities and the physical conditions of the four seasons, you will be able to have a very clear plan for the future. Patrick didn't understand before, but he really did after he had to put in the work.
Su Lun sighed, "The other nobles find this annoying, and after giving a target to the following, they will do whatever they care about, mainly mining. I knew I couldn't hold it up, they just wouldn't listen. Those who are also inexperienced in mining, and they refuse to pay for tools, so they just work with their heads stuffy, and they get injured while doing it. I said to those people, you can't do that to those people. Even if they were treated as animals, the nobles treated the animals more than they did for them. But they didn't listen, and now they have all kinds of things to say to me. It's hard for you to ......."
"Humph! Ha ha! Sheila burst out laughing and interrupted Suren. Suren, Patrick, and several other nobles all looked at Sheila, not knowing what was funny. Sheila didn't want to tell these people what she had learned from the Zhao family, she thought it would be too hurtful. So Sheila was amused by this, and she didn't care at all what the other nobles thought of her.
The barbaric use of manpower, which was so much appreciated by the reactionaries in the Middle Ages, was complemented by extreme indolence. Sheila just humbly thinks that she doesn't know as much as the Zhao family, so even if she doesn't understand, she has to remember it. Now that she felt she understood it perfectly, the word 'extreme laziness' was no longer so appropriate. This is how many nobles deal with problems, although they themselves are extremely lazy, they know that more work can make more money, so they naturally use manpower savagely. As a result, their labor force is now consumed to the point where it is impossible to maintain normal production.
If these people continue to be lazy, their labor will only continue to be depleted and quickly withered.
The laughter stopped, and Sheila began to think that maybe she should abandon some of the people as Patrick had said, because the guys were greedy and lazy. If it's just laziness, they might give up something in a hurry. But greed will make them worse, and this kind of person will not end well.
Seeing that the men were still looking at her uneasily, Sheila said, "Your Excellency Suren, and others, please rest assured, I know what the problem is. I'll try to restrain those nobles and keep them from thinking too badly. β
Su Lun nodded, "As long as Your Excellency is still supporting me, I have nothing to worry about." As for those people, they really don't have much. β
After talking to a few of the main people, Sheila decided to go back to Constantinople. On the boat back, Patrick still didn't quite understand Sheila's thoughts, and Sheila could only tell her husband, "Pat, those people are like you in some way, and you're all chasing the ceiling." I have to say that there are two kinds of people who do this, those who don't know the height of the sky, and those who have a ceiling that is too low to meet the necessary bottom line. β
When Patrick heard this, his face changed a little. "I don't think that's the case, there's nothing wrong with trying to get things done," he argued. β
Sheila and Patrick had argued about this issue before, and Sheila said patiently: "You agree so much with Suren's approach these days, do you think he did it well or right?" β
"He did the right thing and did it well." Patrick bites the word 'good' hard.
"Whether Su Lun did the right thing or not, this can be evaluated according to various circumstances. Whether it is done well or not, Su Lun cannot evaluate. This is something that others evaluate. Pat: Would you say I'm a good person when you see someone? β
Patrick couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of seeing people and saying, 'I'm a good person,' but he felt that he would be happy if others said that about him. Seeing the hint of ridicule on his wife's face, Patrick was unhappy and did not answer.
"Pat......" Sheila couldn't help but want to persuade again.
"Forget it, don't talk about it." Patrick didn't want to argue with Sheila anymore, just looking at his wife's belly, Patrick didn't want to repeat the previous argument.
Sheila didn't want to discuss the matter anymore, she changed to a lighter topic, "Pat, if the child is a boy, what do we call him?" β
βGarenγβ Patrick replied immediately.
Sheila smiled, she also had this intention, just use the name of the great Song Emperor to name her son. But Sheila said, "There are too many names. β
"Jarrenus." Patrick added a very romanized name.
"This ...... Good. Sheila didn't expect her husband to be so retro in such things, and this kind of retro really has no pickiness, "What if it's a daughter?" β
"If you want to name your daughter, you can choose it." Patrick replied decisively.
Sheila smiled, and she was so happy with the answer. Like other women, Sheila didn't think about naming her future children, especially girls. She remembered a very beautiful name, and since her husband was like this, Sheila would come up with her thoughts one by one. Patrick listened like this, looking at his wife's serious appearance, and he felt that his old lady had taught him a really good way. According to the method told by the old lady, it really made Sheila very happy.
When the couple returned to Constantinople, the daughter's name was not come up with. Sheila had used a name like Katerina, and she thought it was too aristocratic. If it's a name like Audrey, it's not dignified enough. This is a name that will last a lifetime, so you have to be careful.
Without waiting for Sheila's careful consideration, the imperial court sent someone to inform Sheila that the province was going to hold the first meeting of the Mediterranean Peace and Development Alliance, which would be held in Constantinople. As one of the most well-known senators of Eastern Rome, the court wanted Sheila to be present at the meeting.
Sheila, of course, refused, if it was at a young age she would be interested in attending such a meeting. Now with a big belly, she doesn't want to go out and show off. Unexpectedly, the messenger told Sheila that this was a hint from the province. Hopefully Sheila will show up. Sheila was surprised, and instead of agreeing, she told the court envoy that she would consider it carefully.
You have to think carefully, and there is a better solution before you think about it. Sheila called Wanda and told him to go to the office and ask what was going on. Wanda knew that this was an important matter, and after preparing it, he hurried to the office. Walking into the office, Wangerda felt that it was not as lively as before. Previously, the office and the various commercial departments worked together, but with the development of the northern part of the Golden Horn, those commercial establishments moved to the northern shore of the Golden Horn, and the offices remained in the office. Without those bustling crowds, this place seems quiet, and even a bit solemn and solemn.
After waiting for an hour, Wangerda finally met Yang Sixian, the director of the office. Yang Sixian listened to Wangerda's relay, and asked about Sheila's physical condition. Hearing that Sheila was becoming less and less fit to move, Yang said: "We hope that all parties in the Eastern Mediterranean Alliance will be able to establish their own parliaments. If Her Excellency Sheila is able to attend, we can take advantage of the situation to invite members of parliament from other countries to attend. This has the advantage that many things can be handed over to national parliaments in the future. β
"Establish parliaments in the Yuan and Damascus Mongols as well?" Wanerda did not expect such a possibility at all.
"Mongolia has the Kuritai Congress, which is similar to the parliament." Yang Sixian said. After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "Wangerda, you guys are very interesting about Mongolia, can you tell me about it?" β
Wangerda had to talk about the characteristics of Europa's name first, Yang Sixian was very interested, and even asked about the name of the knights that Wangerda inadvertently proposed.
Wangda used the Knights of Damascus, the Knights of Jerusalem, and the Knights of Cairo to refer to Hao Kang's banner army. As for the Yuan Kingdom and Northern Mongolia, they used the names of the Knights of the Yuan Kingdom and the Knights of Batu Sala. If it is a pure Eastern Roman statement, it should be called the Damascus Military Region, the Jerusalem Military Region, and the Cairo Military Region. It's just that Eastern Rome has been invaded by the countries of the European Bass Department for too long, and it has been greatly influenced by the countries of the European Bass Department, and the armies of all the royal states are called 'regional names + knights'. For example, the army of the Yuan Kingdom was called the 'Knights of the Yuan Kingdom' throughout Europa, and the banner army of the Mongol Empire was called the 'Royal Knights of the Mongols'. The Eastern Romans did not use this term when referring to their own armies.
"That is to say, in the countries of Eurobasi, they will use this kind of knightly name to distinguish the various armies within Mongolia?" Yang Sixian said thoughtfully.
Wanerda nodded, "Yes." The western nations will say so, but they themselves do not dare to call themselves knights, but call themselves by the army of such and such a territory. β
"I see. No wonder. Yang Sixian sighed. However, he felt that he was talking too much, so he changed the subject and asked Wanda to go back and try to invite Sheila to attend. As soon as Wangerda left, Yang Sixian sent a telegram to Athens, "We are working hard to prepare for the meeting, and agree not to let the countries of Europa see through our false policy." We have caught the spies of the Teutonic Knights, who are investigating the movements of the Yuan army, and the Teutonic Knights may launch an attack on the Yuan Kingdom. β
