Chapter 49: Chief Administrative Officer (Recommend! Subscription)
To everyone's surprise, the first thing Situ Jin said was: "I called you here today to introduce you to someone!"
"Introducer?" Everyone looked at Situ Jin, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Situ Jin's gourd! Calling so many of them here just to introduce someone? Who has such a big face?
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Situ Jinhuo got up, walked to him and grabbed Erwin's arm, and pulled him in front of everyone closely: "This is Erwin, from now on, he is the chief minister of state on the island!"
As he spoke, Situ Jin picked up the seal he had prepared in advance from the table, solemnly handed it to Erwin, and repeated it loudly: "From now on, in my capacity as the lord of Erland Island, I appoint Erwin as my chief minister of state, and from now on I will be responsible for overseeing all the internal affairs of the island!"
There was silence in the hall, and all eyes were on Erwin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chief Secretary of State? He, a young man under the age of 25?
To put it simply, if it is a country, a chief state secretary is the most powerful person in the country except the king, and if it is in a territory, he is naturally the most powerful person in the territory other than the lord! It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is below ten thousand people!
Except that he has no military power, the chief minister of state has the right to manage everything in the territory! Except for the lord, the orders he gives are the supreme orders! For example, if Situ Jin is not on the island in the future, then Erwin is the supreme leader of the island!
Such an important position, and now Situ Jin has easily handed him over to a person who looks so plain?
After the surprise, everyone looked at Erwin with suspicion and scrutiny.
There is no jealousy, no one can sit here, everyone doesn't care that someone's position is higher than them, but the problem is that this person's ability must be stronger than theirs! Otherwise, they will not be able to cooperate with his orders!
Mrs. Li Kerst accompanied Situ Wan and Situ Leiyao to sit on the table and chair on the other side of the hall, and they could see the situation on Situ Jin's side very clearly!
Situ Wan held her cheeks, her eyes looked at Situ Jin and them without blinking, although Situ Lei Yao was just sitting normally, but he was also listening carefully to Situ Jin's movements on their side, and the two sisters and brothers seemed to be very interested in such a scene.
Mrs. Lee Kerst sat next to them, and in fact she could not understand Stuart's sudden decision to appoint Erwin as Chief Secretary of State!
Even if this Erwin really had some talent, how could he hold such an important position at such a young age? Throughout the ages, who sat in this seat was not an experienced person? How could a boy who had just come out of the mountain have any experience in governing?!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lee Kerst couldn't help but shake her head, and secretly sighed that Situ Jin had made this decision too hastily! Even if there was really a shortage of people, he couldn't rush to the doctor in such a hurry!
As if he didn't see the eyes of everyone looking at him, Erwin calmly took the seal of the Chief Secretary of State from Stuart's hand.
Seeing that Erwin had directly sealed the seal without even postponing it, many people present couldn't help frowning.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Situ Jin didn't explain, but just said: "In the future, please cooperate with Erwin's work!"
After a pause, he turned his head to Erwin and said solemnly: "In the future, all the internal affairs of the island will be handed over to you!"
Erwin smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over everyone on the left and right, and then he said, "Please take care of everyone in the future!"
No one spoke, and the suspicion in everyone's eyes became more and more obvious.
Situ said, "If you have any questions, you can tell Erwin now!"
After speaking, he said to Gao Wen: "Gao Wen, you come with me!"
Gao Wen stood up, looked at the people around him, and then followed Situ Jin into the inner hall at the back of the hall.
After entering the inner hall, Situ Jin asked Gao Wen about the recruitment of new soldiers, and then told Gao Wen that he would go to the military region tomorrow to personally train the new soldiers.
Seeing that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, Situ Jin took the initiative to speak, and Gao Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then, he said to Situ, "Baron, is that Erwin up to the post of chief administrative officer on the island?"
Situ Jin looked at Gao Wen with a smile: "Do you think he can't do it?"
Gawain pondered for a moment and said, "He's too young!"
Situ Jinjun raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Aren't you also very young?"
"Me?" Gao Wen immediately said: "I'm different from him! Senior political officials are originally made with experience!"
Situ Jin shook his head, and said with a far-reaching gaze: "Let's wait and see!"
At the same time, the outside hall.
The group looked at Erwin for a long time, and Geraint was the first to ask, "I wonder what your Excellency has to dare to accept the important position of chief administrative officer on the island?"
Erwin smiled and said, "I have whatever talent you need." ā
"Your Excellency is a little too arrogant to say this, isn't it?" said Bedwell.
Geraint spoke again: "Then I wonder if Your Excellency can quickly help us solve the problem of the shortage of manpower in our major institutions?"
Erwin said: "I have arranged to deal with this problem, and I will definitely help you solve it within half a month!"
"Half a month?" Ralph looked at Erwin eagerly, "Can you really send me someone for half a month?"
Erwin nodded: "There are nearly a million people on the island today, and now this number is increasing every day, there are so many people, are you afraid that you can't find someone to do things?"
John seems to be going to give Erwyn some trouble as well: "Your Excellency, it costs a lot of money to recruit a large number of public officials! You must also know the financial situation on the island, although I have a little income every month, but I can barely support the army, and now I can't get a penny!"
"John, isn't it?" Erwin said suddenly, "You know, it's up to a treasurer to consider how to increase the income of his domain! I admit that you are a very good merchant, but being a merchant is very different from being a treasurer!"
John's face changed slightly: "You mean I don't have the talent to be a treasurer?"
Erwin said: "I mean there are many ways to increase the island's income now, although the baron exempted the islanders from taxes for two years, but we can't only rely on the islanders to get income, this kind of financial income is too simple!"
