Chapter 480 Director of the Electricity Department

The will of His Majesty the Emperor, the results of technical demonstration, and even the promotion of Hadley University.

The power plant and power bureau that initially verified the technology have now been upgraded to the Power Department.

The position of director-level is not low in the Great Xia Empire.

And if the role of the Power Department continues to expand and the power grid gradually matures, it will obviously be upgraded.

In the Great Xia Empire, where the class is gradually solidified, such a position has obviously been coveted by many people.

Even the emperor is not immune.

In the past few days, people from all walks of life have wanted to show their faces in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

The important officials of the empire are also thinking about recommending officials from their departments for transfer.

This is understandable. If officials do not want to make progress, they might as well go back to farming.

What Derek feels embarrassed about is not the recommendation of any one person. In fact, the decision-making power is in his hands, and no one can shake it.

It's just that such a new department and new technology are really not competent for ordinary people.

Most of the department-level officials in the Great Xia Empire are military nobles and aristocratic lines. There are almost no talents trained by universities who have climbed to this level.

Pure technical officials are mostly technical workers, so it is difficult for them to shoulder two responsibilities.

If other departments reluctantly appoint a qualified person, Derek can accept it.

But he knows the role of promoting electricity, so he hesitates.

Just thinking about it, Queen Tiona came in with a group of female officials.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the power department? Have some snacks and rest for a while!"

As soon as Derek heard it, he knew that his wife was also here to be a lobbyist.

Tiona rarely participated in government affairs. The education she received since childhood made her very aware of the limits.

So, Derek understood it as soon as he thought about it.

"Did the Perez family find a wife?"

The issue of origin cannot be changed, and there is no need to avoid it.

Tionaqin served Derek a cup of hot tea, picked up a few snacks, and said by the way: "Yes, grandpa didn't show up, but my father sent someone to ask me to tell you, so I can't just ignore it.

What do you think? Tell me and I'll discuss it for you."

She didn't even mention the name of the candidate from the Perez family, obviously she didn't take it to heart.

But since her father had spoken, she couldn't just not come.

After all, the Perez family is her mother's family, but the empire's family business will belong to her son in the future, and she still knows this clearly.

It's not that stupid to let her use her son's business to subsidize her mother's family.

I don't know if her father will regret his family's elite education if he knows.

Derrick understood what his wife meant, so he mourned for his father-in-law in his heart.

But having such a daughter may not be a bad thing.

"There are too few enlightened officials in the empire who can adapt to the power bureau. I am hesitating about how to make these decisions. I really don't want to be delayed by the chief officer." Derek sighed after he finished speaking: "If it doesn't work, just use the candidates recommended by your father. As long as they are qualified, I can only keep an eye on them more often."

Picking a general from a short man is the only way.

Who knew that Tiona walked behind him and stretched out her hand to massage his head.

"I don't think so. Since there are no suitable candidates, it is better to directly select a few professors from the university to set up a framework. Anyway, they can hold up technically. In other aspects... If there are surprises, it would be the best. If there are no surprises, you still have to keep an eye on them. There will be no trouble."

Tiona's words made Derek suddenly realize.

That's right, since there are no suitable ones, it is better to choose scholars as officials.

Anyway, I can keep an eye on them for a short time, so I am not afraid of accidents.

Moreover, these people are first-class scholars and have no shortage of IQ. Maybe they can produce a few qualified officials.

Derek has a divergent mindset. In his previous life, there were many academicians in the officialdom. Although the academic officials in the Great Xia Empire have not yet become popular, he can give them a push.

He never thinks that a certain origin is wrong, so it is the same whether he appoints aristocrats or military meritorious officials.

In this case, it is okay to introduce academicians.

As long as the balance is well grasped, the rest is not a problem.

"My dear wife, you will be the first to be credited this time," Derek grabbed his wife's palm with his backhand and said, "In this way, I will use the director to place school professors, and let the person recommended by your father be a deputy director to see how good he is."

Tiona was slightly shy and patted Derek's hand gently: "No one is serious."

As for his father, a deputy director is enough to explain.

Although they are father and daughter, they are also monarchs and ministers.

Her Majesty, the dignified Queen of the Great Xia Empire, even parents have to pay tribute when they see her.

So rewarding is a favor, and not rewarding is normal, so it is not the ministers' turn to say anything.

Since Derek has made up his mind, he will do it immediately.

He called the Eighth Investigation Department to bring the list of professors for this power reform and began to select one by one.

Some of these scholars did have some flaws in their conduct, so they were excluded first.

Then those who were too obsessed with academics were given a deputy position.

It would be best if they had good academic ability, so that they could convince the public.

After selecting and selecting, there was really no suitable one.

Derek lowered his requirements slightly and then selected one person.

…

Hadley University!!

Professor Smith was teaching.

Regarding the reform of the power system, he was one of the main forces and shared a lot of important work.

After years of work and more than a year of experimental verification, he finally completed the phased results not long ago.

Even the report seminar attracted the participation of His Majesty the Emperor.

Obviously, the future of electricity is bright.

So many students have been interested recently. After a few days of rest, Professor Smith added some teaching tasks.

Before the next stage begins, the more students he can teach, the better.

He is not interested in who will be the director of the Electric Power Department. According to convention, professors like them should become special consultants to participate in research.

He makes a living by technology and does not need to get deeply involved in government work.

This job is considered noble.

Professor Smith was halfway through his lecture when he suddenly saw one of his students come to the door and wink at him.

He glared at him unhappily, then took a break and apologized: "Your senior is looking for me, so I'll be delayed for two minutes."

He walked to the door, knowing that students would not disturb his class if there was nothing else.

"Has the director of the Electric Power Department been decided?"

Professor Smith asked casually. He guessed that it was this matter, and then the new stage of research would begin, so he came to find him.

Unexpectedly, his students looked at him excitedly and surprised: "Teacher, you knew it a long time ago?

That's right, I was wondering how such a good thing could happen. I didn't expect that you had such a relationship."

Professor Smith was confused. What are you talking about?
