On the evening of August 1, the Government Council.

Except for Zheng San of the Ministry of Construction, the rest of the ministers and ministers of state gathered in the meeting room of the Government Council to summarize the day's construction gains and losses.

Influenced by Wang Xuan, the meeting was concise and clear, mainly because the departments reported whether the operation of the matters they were responsible for that day was orderly and reasonable, whether there were loopholes, and then discussed specific improvements.

Wang Xuan, as the commander-in-chief, naturally wants to participate, judging from the problems reflected by various ministries, the most important thing at present is the lack of people, not only labor, but also infrastructure and government management, and Jixiang is now lacking time, which has formed a contradiction between rapid development and insufficient supply of talents.

There are only two ways to solve this problem, one is to reduce the speed of development, and Wang Xuan sprayed back as soon as this idea was proposed, and the other is to recruit a large number of talents.

At this point, everyone stopped making a sound, looking at this group of "high-level", Wang Xuan was also helpless, and he didn't wait for me.

He didn't have the time or energy to teach them hand-in-hand, this was the gap between the two eras, and the ideological conflict was very intense.

There was no way, Wang Xuan had no choice but to speak: "The development and construction of auspiciousness cannot be stopped, we wasted a lot of time in the past, and many people died, but now we have more than a dozen factories, feeding nearly 50,000 people, and there will be more in the future." Auspiciousness can now be described as changing with each passing day, we have thought about what we didn't dare to think about before, and we have done what we didn't dare to do before. Look at your colleagues, look at the people who are running around the construction sites, their faces are ruddy, their eyes are brighter, and their spirits are more energetic, all of which have been brought about by the changes of the last year. If you are really satisfied, vacate your place and go home to retire, and I will support you!"

Wang Xuan's words scared everyone a lot, everyone thought that these changes were brought about by Wang Xuan's leadership, but the previous Prime Minister Zhao Sheng also expressed his attitude: those who have brains come up with ideas, and those who have no brains come out. Everyone's mind can't catch up, so naturally they can only rely on their strength.

But Wang Xuan is a human being, not a god, and if he has a good idea, he has to be executed. There are a lot of unplanned things that happen during the execution process, which requires high emotional intelligence and extraordinary IQ to solve smoothly, but unfortunately there are not many people who have both.

The collision between advanced thinking and conservative thinking has continued, and this contradiction is not man-made, but is destined to exist after Wang Xuan came here, and it will have to be manifested sooner or later.

Wang Xuan complained that everyone's support for him was not enough, and everyone also felt that their ability really could not meet Wang Xuan's needs, facts speak louder than words, and blind people dare not deny the development of the past year.

When it comes to abdicating and letting Xian, this is even more difficult to mention, and when it is the retainer's turn to say this, it will be the time for a showdown, either promise you to let you go, or leave you and have to reuse you.

You're not happy that you're a lord, and you're not happy to complain a few words as a lord?

So even if everyone was blushing, they just hung their heads and didn't say anything.

Wang Xuan is also in a hurry, according to the development of the productive forces of this era, he will not see the emergence of bicycles for another hundred years.

He wants to find the shadow of his hometown, which is not a goal but an obsession, deep in the bone marrow.

This is also a last resort, in troubled times, Wang Xuan needs to drive them away at all times, once the habit of inaction is formed, these people will be completely abolished.

No one, Wang Xuan is useless even if he is a god.

After embarrassing each other for a while, Wang Xuan also said that everyone is still very hard, but the lack of professional talents is an indisputable fact, how much is Jixiang behind Daxia?

If you don't catch up, others won't be waiting for you.

In the end, Wang Xuanfa proposed his plan to buy people.

This time, it is not only slaves that are bought, but also technical talents and government talents.

Wang Xuan is not worried about the new government talents squeezing out the position of the old mascot, it is not a matter if the money is enough, the loyalty of his family is the most important.

Everyone here also knows that the Wang family really has nothing to say to everyone.

So the meeting immediately changed direction and discussed the plan of "introducing" talents.

As the only person with experience in large-scale procurement organizations and diplomacy, Zhang Yun was the most vocal, so Wang Xuan directly asked his opinion.

Zhang Yun reported after the ceremony: "The minister's first trip to Daxia to purchase is mainly to establish a cooperative relationship between the two sides, build a station, and collect information. At present, the relationship with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household in Daxia is relatively ideal, and the relationship between the major slave merchants, shipping merchants, mineral merchants, and livestock merchants has been maintained, and they can be negotiated at any time. For now, the key is to determine the quantity, knowledge structure and price of the purchase. ”

After hearing this, Wang Xuan also had some confidence in his heart, and the relationship was dredged, and all that was left was to throw money, and the problems that could be solved with money were not a problem for the current auspiciousness.

"Ministry of Finance and Taxation, the first phase of Xincheng has invested up to 200,000 gold coins, and 100,000 yuan has been reserved in the first half of the year, how much can we reserve in the second half of the year?" Wang Xuan asked Wang Yao, the minister of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, directly.

"Back to the Lord, in the second half of the year, due to the commissioning and export of mosquito coil factories, the overall balance should be around 200,000 gold coins, which is a conservative estimate. ”

It is about the same as Wang Xuan's estimate, that is, there is still a balance of 100,000 yuan, and in addition to the liquidity of 50,000 gold coins left, there are still 50,000 that can be used.

"Allocate 50,000 gold coins to 'introduce' talents, no matter what methods and means you use, before the end of the year, I will see at least 2,000 laborers arrive at Jixiangling, and this group of people will be allocated to Hedong. In addition, bridges, roads, and craftsmen of all kinds have at least two names, which are temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Construction, and are responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. At least 50 managers who are familiar with government affairs shall be assigned by the Government Council. ”

Wang Xuan announced the specific direction and number of talents to be purchased, and everyone at the scene listened quietly.

"If the money is not enough, I will smash the pot and sell iron for you to make up, if the manpower is insufficient, I will personally go into battle, and if the transportation capacity is insufficient, I will build a ship for you, this plan is led by Zhang Yun, this is the most important thing except for the construction of the first phase of the new city, all departments will fully cooperate, and you must not slack off! If you can't figure it out, ask the prime minister, and he will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

After saying that, Wang Xuan turned around and left, and everyone crowded next to Zhao Sheng, analyzing the young master's abnormal behavior today.

It is no wonder that since Wang Xuan's government reform, the salaries of civil servants have more than doubled, and this is still happening when the ranks have expanded at least twice, and counting Yongsheng's dividends, which month is less than three or five gold coins?

One person is more than enough to support the whole family, and there are so many high-quality jobs open to family members, I couldn't think of this day before, but what did they pay?

Their current job can be done by another person, so it's understandable that they don't feel secure.

Zhao Sheng is an old man, the so-called old and immortal is a demon, which refers to the things that people have experienced and understood for a long time, some things that others can't see through, and some things that others don't understand. This is the precipitation that comes with experience.

"You don't have to worry, if the Lord really wants everyone to go home and retire, they won't say it to their faces. ”

Zhao Sheng is also organizing the language, on the one hand, he must be able to speak for the young master as much as possible, and on the other hand, he has to appease everyone's emotions, which is a little difficult.

"Since the old lord brought us to the auspicious wasteland, the Wang family has gone through three generations and four lords, and they have never treated everyone badly. ”

Zhao Sheng paused and watched everyone's reactions.

"Let's not talk far, let's just say that since the young master succeeded to the throne last year, has everyone's life changed, and in what ways? Our income is high, the life of the family is better, and even the children have the opportunity to enter the school to study! Even if you go home now to 'retire', how much can your life change?"

Simply Zhao Sheng poked out the worst result, everyone thought that there was indeed not much change, and earning ten or eight gold coins a year less would have little impact on them now. And there are too many job opportunities, and everyone sighs that auspiciousness has really changed.

"The young master also hopes that everyone can be proactive, we are auspicious old people, and no matter how many government talents are introduced, they can only give us a hand. They can't get the young master's approval for at least three or five years, the young master still values loyalty, the only thing we don't lack is loyalty, the young master knows this very well. That's why I said that if everyone abdicates and let Xian support everyone, in fact, all of us are now dependent on the young master to survive, he is very bitter, very tired, and very lonely!"

This is the truth, with a big revenge and unavenged, and it is not easy to seize time to develop and strengthen one's body, and it is not easy for this half-old child to fight all the burdens.

Zhao Sheng brewed his feelings and continued: "When the old lord died, the little young master was not a director, and the eldest young master and the second young master passed away one after another, and even the eldest young grandmother left Miss Hua'er and left, and it was not easy for the little young master to carry such a heavy courage at the age of fifteen. But the little young master survived, for the sake of auspiciousness, he can only become stronger, harder, he wants auspicious and strong, no longer oppressed and exploited by the likes of red flames, what is he for? As a mascot, I am proud, I am glad to have such a lord for the people. ”

Zhao Sheng's words gradually became excited, because as the prime minister, he could feel the series of changes in auspiciousness the most.

"The older ones remember the nobles of Great Xia, who is willing to invest the money they earn in road construction? Who is willing to invest money in people's housing? Who is willing to spend money on children's compulsory education? Who is willing to use money for people's medical care? Who is willing to share money-making projects with the people?"

The people who said every sentence were speechless and deafening. Maybe it was because he got too much and became numb, or maybe he was in a high position and took it for granted, Zhao Sheng's words were like a loud slap that made everyone's noses blue and their faces swollen.

"I should have said these words a long time ago, but unfortunately it was a step too late, the young master is not easy than you think, let's work harder!"

After speaking, Zhao Sheng also left the conference room, and he got off work.
