Chapter 416: Ministry of Education

For matters that Paul wanted to personally ask, Cecil was still very efficient.

"Oh my God! Look, look, this kind of thing happened on my property, right under my nose. God **** rascals, thieves, villains!"

Paul slammed the report Cecil had given him on the table.

Except for Cecil, all the officials attending the meeting looked at each other in blank dismay. They saw the sad, angry, and frightened expressions on their lord's face, and they almost tore the paper to pieces when they read the report.

The document was quickly circulated by officials.

It turned out that a manor named Fu Binen in Totor village used usury to usurp the pension fields of several families who sacrificed soldiers.

Cecil sent his capable men to figure out the whole story. Fu Binen was the taxpayer of Totor Village. With this identity, he cheated on the tax money, and then tricked these families into borrowing usury loans. , The debt was inflated to the point where they could not repay it by means of rolling interest, and finally forced them to use the land to pay off the debt.

What, it turned out to be this kind of thing, that's it? That's it?

As for? This is the thought in the minds of most people who are used to the daily conditions of this world.

but…

"This is really too much, my lord." Xiru 75zhongwen.com Xiru

"This man named Fu Binen is really not a human being, let alone a gentleman."

"The gods will punish him."

All the people present were filled with righteous indignation.

Seeing his officials stand on the same ground as him, Paul felt a little better.

"Why don't these victimized families appeal to our government officials there?"

Paul looked at Old Ford, the head of the State Council. Si minus Si

"This...cough!" Old Ford exclaimed.

"Lord Graiman, our manpower is still too small. In recent years, government affairs construction has been concentrated in cities. As for the villages in various places, one official is in charge of several villages. It must be because of such small things... such things are not available. I heard, and...the key point is...those peasants in the countryside don't have the habit of appealing to the lord officials."

Paul thumped the table hard, "We need to penetrate every village and every settlement. This is the focus of government affairs in the future."

"Yes, my lord."

In fact, Manager Ford has always known what the lord thinks. In recent years, the earl has invested heavily in education and recruited government officials every year. Isn't it just to strengthen his administrative power? The lord's recruitment requirements for some non-core positions are even low enough to read Just enough.

Paul said angrily, "As for that Fubinen, I will arrest him, try him, and put him to death!"

Everyone's mouths opened into an O shape.

"Master Greiman, is this... isn't this too harsh? According to the previous practice, half of his property will be confiscated."

"The previous practice? Do you mean that time in Baden?"

Paul became even angrier, and he said loudly with almost roaring force:

"The thing I regret most now is that I was too kind at that time. The last time they tampered with tax collection and caused a riot, I don't even have a long memory. At that time, I still had loyal soldiers to quell the chaos for me. Now they have put their hands into the soldier's rice bowl. If I put it down gently, there will be a third or fourth time. Will the soldier still be loyal to me? With a gun pointed to the head."

"This...you...you are too serious."

Everyone was stunned by the terrible scene Paul described. The lord was killed by his soldiers? Simply unheard of.

Because the army was involved, Chief of Staff Schroeder also attended the meeting. He first stood up and thanked Paul on behalf of the soldiers, and then reminded everyone: "Everyone, our soldiers in Arda are not ordinary soldiers, Lord Graeman. Taught them to read and understand some culture, so they will communicate with family members, with retired comrades in arms, and connect with each other. The key is that they have weapons that can kill the fully armed knight master with a flick of their fingers, and Years of training in combat skills has given them courage that their counterparts in other places do not have. Therefore, Lord Graeman's worries are not alarmist, once our army is in chaos, it will be a big trouble."

Ruth Hayden, the director of the Department of Public Safety, stood up with a bang, "Master Graeman, the police force is willing to work for you! Please let me personally lead the team to Totor to arrest this Fubinen."

Since the Ministry of Public Security expanded its police force, he hadn't handled any major cases, so he made up his mind to perform well this time.

"Okay, then you are responsible for bringing that **** to Lake Town, and I will try him in front of the soldiers."

Paul just thought about sending troops to Totor to let the soldiers vent their anger, but Hayden’s initiative to ask for help made him change his mind. The police should really arrest people, and the army should be used to defend against foreign enemies. The ~www.readwn.com~ is best not to do too much domestic work.

As things settled down, Paul brought up another matter that caught his attention.

"What Cecil said just now reminded me that our soldiers are indeed not ordinary soldiers, so we can't take them lightly like other territories. We should firmly grasp the soldiers' thoughts. So I have an idea."

The officials acted as an open-minded listener, waiting for the earl's high opinion.

"I want to set up the fourth department of the army-the teaching department besides the staff department, equipment department, and logistics department."

Ministry of Education? We don't know why, so what's that for? It sounds like education, but this kind of thing has been done by military chiefs at all levels.

Paul explained his idea to them, "In the future, the cultural and educational activities of the army will be in charge of the teaching department, and this department will station its own officers at each level of the army—let's call them trainers for the time being. In addition to educating soldiers, trainers also It is an important task for them to keep abreast of the thoughts of the soldiers, to prevent the military units they are in charge of from rebelling, and to be absolutely loyal to their commander (that is, me)."

Oh, as it should be, everyone understands.

Then Paul changed the topic, "The teaching department will implement a vertical management method. The instructors at all levels are on the same level as the military chief officer of his unit, and they are only responsible for the instructors at the next level. Responsible."

ah? Doesn't that mean surveillance? Mi He Mi

Everyone looked at the Chief of Staff Schroeder with some embarrassment.

Is the Earl worried about his loyalty to the army?
