Chapter 612: Chengguan and Examination
Name, identity, family background, this kind of question is to be expected. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But then Roddy's words made Karen a little confused: "I think you are quite talented in management, if I remember correctly, you did not entrust all the assets and operation methods of the family to the housekeeper, but personally carried out a series of improvements and refinements, right?"
Karen was a little dumbfounded when he asked this. He did take over the management of the territory himself, as Roddy said, because in his opinion the stewards were greedy and liked to deal with things, and many times he gave orders and did not get the desired results, so he simply took over completely, and did a good job... But he didn't publicize this kind of thing to the outside world, and his territory was almost ruined in the war, how did Roddy know?
But he didn't have the guts to ask the question, he just nodded yes.
Luo Di didn't go around the circle either, and said bluntly: "The main reason for inviting you to Elson City is because of your outstanding skills in management. So I would like to hire you to be an official in my city, responsible for the taxation, citizen safety and security of the city. If you want, I will give you some permission, a salary of 30 silver coins per month, housing, six rest days a month, a probationary period of three months, and a 20% discount on the salary during the probationary period, what do you think?"
Clen's mouth was wide open, and for a moment it was difficult to digest the information - but Roddy knew that these concepts would be difficult for the traditional aristocracy to accept, so he took out two paper contracts and handed them to the other party to scrutinize. This kind of contractual contract did not have the unequal treaty like the "deed of sale" that Clen imagined, and it was fair from any point of view, so he signed his name after carefully consulting about the matters he needed to be responsible for.
"The 'Elson City Authority', which will be established soon, welcomes you to join us. Now there are fewer people in the bureau, and I am the director of the bureau, you are the deputy director of the bureau, if you need subordinates, you can go to the city to recruit according to your own requirements, and I have a table for the salary standard here, and you can measure it yourself. ”
Roddy got up to see off the guests and said to Cren, who was thinking about how to complete the task: "The construction of Elson City will be very fast, I hope you will integrate into this role as soon as possible." ”
"I will, Lord Castle! Isn't the name of the bureau too awkward?"
Karen didn't have much idea about the term "urban management", but Roddy solved his problem: "It's okay, just call it 'chengguan'." ”
"Oh, okay, obey the city lord!"
After the other party left, Camilla, who had not spoken, spoke up: "Are you really sure these people are useful? ”
"People have potential, and they are a little condescending in their original positions, so they can give full play to their skills when they are placed in the right position. ”
Roddy replied with a smile, in fact, these people just now were the more famous talents in his impression of the Karen Kingdom: Richard, who went to be the technical director of the arsenal, is now just a helper in the blacksmith shop, but in the original history, he has become a grandmaster-level blacksmith in the famous town in 597; the great pharmacist Ander is still only a drug buyer at this time, and Roddy's demon potion needs this kind of person to configure it in the future; the most interesting thing is Lakhill, who is still a bartender, this guy with a full beard will be the most famous in the Karen Kingdom in the future"Big Brother of the Underworld", to put it bluntly, is the leader of the underground society. Roddy asked him to be the captain of the city defense team, naturally in order to clean up the dark side that every city has - he didn't expect Elson City to become an ideal utopia, but Lakhill could undoubtedly become a "cadre".
The rest of the current inconspicuous civilians will be brave generals in the army with flexible minds and good strength in the war, and Roddy threw them directly to Sodrol to be trained, and I believe that they can cultivate good seedlings.
The last to come to Clen is more famous, on the trajectory of history, he served as a minister in the royal team of Charles II for two years, and he is one of the few smart people in a group of straw bales who can make political achievements, so Roddy first gave him a chance to manage internally, and first helped Camilla share some cumbersome government affairs. In the future, if he really shows his talent, it may not be possible for him to move forward a few steps and even become a member of the cabinet.
"I see that you have also collected a lot of all kinds of guys, and even the wood elf village is trying to attract a few elves, why is there a shortage of maids in the mansion?"
Camila asked expressionlessly, the corners of Roddy's mouth twitched, as if she felt that she had a bad temper recently, and replied stubbornly: "Elson's magic research department has no agriculture yet, and after I set up the Ministry of Agriculture, I need these elves who can use natural spells to improve the variety of food..."
Camilla rolled her eyes: "How do you know they're just the right fit? Besides, these people you're looking for are much worse than the job opening, what will I do if you go to Raciman?"
"That's why that's why I used to educate and make paper. ”
Roddy clicked on a stack of contracts on the table: "Cheap paper allows more people to learn knowledge, and those with knowledge compete to become management - there may be a lot of resistance here, but it's not a problem for Ivota now... Because what we have to do is to break the narrow passage between the commoners, the peasants and the aristocratic class, and let them see the hope of promotion. ”
Camila's expression gradually became serious, and she suddenly realized that what Roddy was going to do seemed simple, but in fact, it shook the entire structure of Karen Kingdom's rule!
"Do you want to... Recruit among the plebeians, and then manage the others, even the nobles?"
"Yes, I call this the 'Evta's Civil Service Exam,'" Roddy smiled as he tapped his head: "I'll make an outline of the exam according to the current school's teaching progress, and by the way, in order to ensure everyone's loyalty to Ivta, the exam also includes a part of the 'political' content." ”
"What do you mean?"
Camila felt that she couldn't keep up with Roddy's train of thought, and asked busily.
"Make them aware of... Ivota is the best and most advanced place on the continent, it is honorable to contribute to Ivta, and it is a pride to be in the management of Ivota - I suggest you go to Captain Carter in the barracks, he is good at it. ”
Luo Di smiled: "Actually, in other words, it's brainwashing." ”
"Damn, what about our newspapers? Why can't I see the newspaper I've asked to publish?"
Mirno's angry roar echoed through the mansion, making the servants in the room gasp.
These days, they clearly feel that the old Earl, who used to be kind, seems to be suffering from mania, a year ago Mirno almost never showed any superfluous emotions on his face, but now he can be heard almost every day with angry rebukes and roars...
Obviously, the Count's war did not go well, and his strategy against Age of Cullen was not very successful. (To be continued.) )
