Chapter 1036: The New King's Regime
The day after his accession to the throne, Roland convened the Third Plenary Session in the castle drawings.
The main content of the meeting was the issue of power distribution that the officials were most concerned about.
This was undoubtedly the moment they had been waiting for for a long time as they stood on the side - serving a local lord and serving a king were very different concepts, especially since most of them had worked in the town hall and had a basic understanding of the new king's idea of "weakening the local government and strengthening the centralization". This means that they will have risen from unknown people to the central officials of the Grey Keep Kingdom, and they will no longer manage the western realm, and their influence can be said to be stronger than that of the great nobles of the past.
Naturally, Roland would not allow this "one step to the sky" mood to continue to swell in his 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 - those who can be invited to participate in this meeting will become part of the elite of the upper echelons of the Gray Castle. For decades to come, you will join me in ruling this kingdom. β
"You are serious, Your Majesty. Barov took the lead in standing up, stroked his chest and bent over, "It's our honor to be able to serve you!
Although he said humble words, the old manager's face was already folded with a smile, and he was obviously full of anticipation for the road ahead.
Roland smiled and nodded, and after motioning for everyone to sit down, he said slowly, "But one thing I want to say is that in the front, the purpose of taking back the feudal rights of the nobles is to allow the capable to replace them, and maintaining the prosperity of a kingdom depends on how many outstanding people are fighting for it, so I don't want to see you become another kind of nobleman." β
"Of course......," Barov said hurriedly, "no one can guarantee that the descendants will have the same talents, and all positions should be based on merit." β
His words immediately elicited echoes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Roland always feels that these city hall officials have changed a lot from before, even the sycophants are much smoother, and there is more unexplained awe in the eyes that look at him - this difference makes him faintly feel a sense of pleasure.
This is probably also the role of rituals.
It is no wonder that for the sake of this position, Tifeco and Garcia will not hesitate to drag most of the kingdom into the flames of war.
It's just that Roland didn't let himself be immersed in this emotion for too long, even if he was a supreme king, he ruled only a corner of the Vast Desert Continent, if he was only satisfied with this, then what was the difference between him and some isolated island chieftains who had never heard of the name?
The world was so big, he wanted to see it.
"What you say is only the most basic," Roland said, looking around the hall, "in fact, no one can guarantee that a capable person will always be able to do his job! β
As he raised his voice, the ministers lowered their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to breathe for a while.
"So entering the center is just the beginning, your abilities and achievements will be evaluated every year, and then it will be up to you to be promoted or stay put. Roland paused, "Of course, there will be worse consequences - for example, those who know that they cannot do it, but still cause losses to the kingdom, will be stripped of their positions and sent to the court for disposal!"
"Your Majesty......" Barov asked cautiously, "I wonder who wrote this assessment?"
"I'll take care of that," Roland looked at him, "any questions?"
Although the real investigator is the Nightingale of the Security Bureau, it is more appropriate to carry it out in his name on the surface.
"No, sir...... Nope. β
"I know what you're thinking," he continued, "and it's time to get to this point, and it's supposed to be the time to reap the rewards, but what's the point of being a central official if you've been treading on thin ice and working hard for the rest of the day." And what I want to say is that the rewards are not in conflict with the above, but rather a symbiotic relationship - as long as you can complete the tasks I have assigned, I don't mind you going to profit for yourself. It's like dividing bread, the bigger the bread, the less you get, and the smaller the bread, the only way to swallow it. As for the fact that those who stand high in the front are more likely to get a share of bread, I think you all know it. β
The resources available to an upper-level official are far more than superficial salaries, and his connections and power are all more efficient capital, and if he does not even see this, he does not need such a person to remain in the town hall.
The driving effect of the stick and turnip combination has been proven over time, and although it is still very jerky to use, Roland has begun to try to familiarize himself with it.
"Until I announce a new appointment, you can choose to give it up β those who quit will be compensated with a large amount of gold dragons, enough to squander it for a lifetime, but once you decide to stay, you will have to shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of an official. Now, make a decision!"
No one got up, not even the chemical minister, Kemo Stoil, who had been bitter at the beginning and wished to leave office sooner, remained silent. Obviously, more than two years of political experience have made him understand that if he wants to get money from Barov, the position of minister is particularly important.
"Very well," Roland raised the corners of his mouth, "Then here is your appointment and dismissal!"
The biggest change in the new government system compared to the previous city hall is that other towns in each region are also included in the management framework.
He directly adopted the modern division method, setting those large cities into provinces, and governing the towns, villages, and other places of residence in the surrounding areas. The governors of the provinces are the governors, at the same level as the ministers, and each province is required to establish a provincial council, which is responsible to the Neverwinter town hall.
This set of transformation has the previous second-level town hall as the foundation, and it is not difficult to operate, but the workload of the minister will increase a lot, and correspondingly, its power is equivalent to rising by one level.
Barov Hmon was promoted to the position of the first king, and while he was in charge of the treasury, he was also responsible for coordinating the work of various departments. As one of the first managers of the border towns and the veteran managers who trained the most talent for the town hall, this position could not be more fitting β a perfunctory phrase that was casually said four years ago has now become a reality.
In addition, in addition to the parallel institutions such as the Royal City Hall, the Army, the Security Bureau, and the Witch Alliance, Roland has also added a new department: the General Staff.
Unlike the staff organization that specializes in marching operations, the General Staff Department is also responsible for formulating foreign policy, and everything related to the "strategic plan" is formulated by this department in detailβwith the continuous expansion of the power of the Grey Keep and the threat of the battle of the Divine Will, the connection with Dawn, Wolfheart, Eternal Winter, and the Fjord will inevitably become closer in the future, and this part needs a broad-minded organization to assist him in controlling the overall situation.
The minister is none other than Northland pearl Edith.
