Chapter 332: The First Military and Political Conference
Everyone was stunned by Carl and the others being able to step on the big sword and fly, Kevin was the first to react, took out the Changfeng Sword that had been put away, and threw the flying sword on the ground in the same way, and then couldn't wait to stand up.
The sound of Kevin throwing the Long Wind Sword on the ground also woke up the others, and under the leadership of Vani and the others, they threw the Long Wind Sword on the ground one after another, and there was a clanging sound like breaking copper and iron.
Wang Yong was still proudly watching Danny and the four of them flying around the field, and was about to solemnly introduce himself as the inventor of the Changfeng Sword, but was interrupted by this jingling noise.
When Wang Yong saw Kevin standing on the Changfeng Sword, which had already stimulated his fighting spirit, Wang Yong shouted, "Stop." ”
Wang Yong reminded that it was too late, and as soon as he saw that Kevin's fighting spirit and the flying sword had just come into contact, Kevin rose quickly with the sword, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, only Kevin was heard shouting, "Damn!", and then there was a loud bang, followed by the clanging sound of the Long Wind Sword falling into contact with the ground, and finally the muffled sound of heavy objects falling 'bang'.
Everyone followed the reputation, only to see Kevin lying motionless on the ground with a big bag on his head, his eyes rolling.
Wang Yong looked at the small pit on the roof of the shed that was knocked out by Kevin, and the corners of his mouth twitched, it was a reinforced concrete roof, Kevin hit such a big pit with his head, you can imagine how big the impact force would be at that time.
Wang Yong saw that Kevin had rolled his eyes, and hurriedly ran over to check, and found that Kevin had just fainted, and he was relieved that it was not a big problem.
At this time, everyone else also reflected, in order to thank Kevin for defying the law and avoiding a disaster for himself, they ran to Kevin's side, pinched people, poured cold water, and slapped Kevin in every possible way to launch a unique treatment.
When Kevin woke up slowly, the first thing he asked when he opened his eyes was, "What's going on?" ”
Wang Yong stood beside Kevin, and said with a sad and hateful face: "Can't you ask clearly and use it again? ”
Kevin said with a look of annoyance, "Then you didn't say it earlier." ”
Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knew you were so anxious? Now no one should use flying swords, let Danny tell you how to use it and precautions, and those who have just started practicing will go to the island, where there is a beach and a sea, and there is no danger even if it falls. ”
Before Wang Yong could finish speaking, Danny and Carl were already surrounded by everyone, and you and I kept asking questions one by one. Kevin was the most positive, squeezing in front with a head of gauze, stretching his neck and gesturing and asking questions.
The flying ability of the flying sword brought everyone an incomparable shock, and even the light spirit and shadow dance of the Changfeng Sword were ignored just now. Now he was also holding a long wind sword and huddled in the crowd, listening carefully to Danny's explanation.
Seeing that the learning atmosphere was so warm, Wang Yong smiled, sat at the conference table alone, drank the coconut water he got from Sarah, and pretended to be an outsider who was not moved by everything.
Danny has the strongest expressive ability in the Brain Idiot Foursome, so he takes on the voice manual, and Carl can only supplement it on the side. The four-person group also talked about the use of flying swords, and finally used carats as a negative teaching material. Talked a lot about the consequences of improper operation.
As time passed, more and more people came to the meeting, and every time someone came in, they would be introduced by others. Go to Wang Yong to get a flying sword that suits him, and then rush to Danny to ask how to use it. For a moment, Danny and Carl became the center of attention in the conference room.
By noon, the people in charge of government affairs had basically arrived. In addition to Maury, who is out to buy, and Daisy, who is negotiating. As Ryan entered the conference room with more than a dozen officers, the first official meeting of the Seaside Province also kicked off.
Wang Yong sat at the top of the oval conference table, and to his left sat the political officials. On the right-hand side sat all officers, while Kevin and Vani and other idle people sat opposite Wang Yong.
In fact, Kevin also has a position, he was appointed by Wang Yong as the city defense chief of Seaside City before, but now Seaside City has not been built, and Kevin is a bare-bones commander who has no soldiers, so he can only be classified as an idle person.
And the military, Wolf Head and Hank still have a lot of work to do, so Wang Yong did not give them notice of this meeting.
First of all, it was Wang Yong, the lord, who spoke, because it was a formal occasion, Wang Yong also restrained the ruffian spirit of Jiao'er Langdang, got up and said solemnly: "Today, it is the first military and political plenary meeting of our coastal province, and we will gather everyone together for a meeting, just to let everyone know about the current situation of our coastal province, and if there are any problems in various departments, you can also take this opportunity to raise them and solve them through consultation." Although the military and political systems are separated and develop in parallel on two lines, everyone must communicate with each other and be considerate of each other when encountering problems. To be honest, we people are not very good at management, and everyone is learning by doing, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. But it doesn't matter, the so-called wisdom is born from foolishness, as long as we can learn something, even if it costs a certain price, it is worth it. Now, all departments report on the progress of their work, starting with the administrative officials. In order to deepen everyone's understanding of each other, everyone introduces themselves before reporting work, okay, let's get started. After Wang Yong finished speaking, Jesse, who was sitting behind Wang Yong, picked up a pen and paper and prepared to start recording.
Shirley, who sat at the head of the government officials, cleared her throat and stood up, nodded generously, and then introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Shirley Martinez, I am in charge of the financial affairs of the territory, you can also call me Shirley." ”
Shirley paused, then took out a stack of documents, and said while flipping through them: "Let's not talk about the previous ones, but now, the territory still has funds of 98,563 gold coins and 22 silver coins, and since our territory is in the construction period, the number of laborers hired is huge, and we have to pay almost 40,000 gold coins every month." The expenses of the workers in the various production factories are almost 20,000 gold coins per month, and the administrative staff and militia in various places have to pay 4,000 gold coins per month. As for the army, according to the current establishment, it needs a military salary of 30,000 gold coins per month. This adds up to 94,000 gold coins per month, and these are all under the condition that the building materials and equipment of the army are completely self-sufficient. In terms of income, the commercial activities of our territory have not yet begun, and the Ramos Chamber of Commerce, which is the only one where we do business, has been exempted from tax for another year, and the peasants have just planted seeds, and animal husbandry has not yet developed, so the tax revenue in the territory is now basically equal to zero. In other words, we will have a month to keep on with our funds, and by the beginning of next month we will not be able to pay the wages of the workers and the salaries of the soldiers. That's all I have to report, thank you!" With that, Shirley nodded to the crowd, then sat down in her chair, picked up the coconut water placed in front of her, and took a sip.
After listening to Shirley's report, everyone was shocked, everyone didn't expect that the territory's monthly expenses would be so huge, and the territory's current funds were already overstretched.
Wang Yong was also surprised after listening to Shirley's report, and asked Shirley in a low voice: "Didn't you say last time that the funds can last for a few months?"
Shirley whispered: "During the time you disappeared, Mo Li led people to buy scrap iron, grain, spars and other materials, and he has already taken a lot of money from me. A few days ago, he came back to withdraw 50,000 gold coins, but I only gave 30,000, although it was not enough, but it was also the limit of the territory. Wang Yong frowned and nodded, and then motioned to Phoebe, who was sitting next to Shirley, to start reporting.
After Phoebe received Wang Yong's signal, she got up and introduced herself: "You can call me Phoebe, and I am in charge of the personnel work of the territory." ”
Phoebe nodded to everyone, and then continued: "After the territory received refugees from Lulan Province, after the first count, the population of our territory was about 280,000, but this number is not accurate, and we need to wait until the second and third censuses are conducted after the completion of the city and various villages to get more accurate figures." At present, most of these people are concentrated in the agricultural and pastoral areas in the southern part of the province, and the number of people is about 100,000, and the population of these two areas is basically saturated. There are 4,700 regular workers in all the factories in our territory, and about 30,000 temporary workers, and this part of the population will be temporarily unemployed after the completion of the city's construction, which will have a huge impact on the stability of the territory. I propose to increase the number of workers employed in various factories, so as to solve the problem of unemployment among some people, and second, to increase the reserve of materials for future sales. In addition, we urgently need management talents, especially in the field of government affairs, there is a shortage of local officials who can be dispatched, and there are still more than 20 villages that are unmanaged, and can only be taken care of by nearby magistrates. ”
After Phoebe sat down, Wang Yong did not give any advice, but motioned for the next person to continue.
The next to report was the Hal steward, who stood up and saluted, and after introducing himself, he reported: "The territory is now in good stock of all kinds of materials, except for daily consumption, there is a surplus every day, at the current rate, all warehouses will be filled in a month." Specifically, there are 130 tons of cement, 260 tons of steel bars, more than 6,000 meters of various iron pipes, 830 tons of scrap iron, more than 3,000 meters of pottery pipes, more than 2,000 pieces of pottery, and 2,100 pieces of glass. In terms of transportation, we had 300 wagons and 500 workers, but we were not equipped with stevedores. With that, Steward Hal bowed and sat down. (To be continued.) )
