Chapter 202： Year-end five

Eileen Rodney's inner life was complicated right now.

On the one hand, because the men in the hall showed very obvious resistance to her being the director of the Ministry of Education, ah~ their lungs are going to explode, why should they look down on me, just because I am a girl.

On the other hand, Irene was also very surprised that Paul appointed her to be in charge of education. After all... After all, this is really not in line with tradition-damn tradition!

Really, why didn't this guy discuss it with himself in advance, it happened so suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.

If you're prepared, you might be able to make an impassioned inauguration proclamation that will change the attitude of the men in the lobby who look down on women.

However, it may also be that Earl Greiman really had a temporary idea.

In any case, the little princess suddenly felt a tinge of gratitude to Paul, which is a kind of gratitude for the recognition of his ability.

Unlike her sister Catherine, Irene disliked politics and war since she was a child, and determined to become a scholar.

His Majesty the King is also happy to see her develop in this direction. As the ruler of a country, it is not a good thing to have two children who are older than military affairs. Besides, this is a normal behavior of a girl.

But the performance of the elder sister Catherine is too dazzling. Irene grew up surrounded by the compliments of the people around her. Although the two sisters have a deep relationship, there is always a trace of dissatisfaction deep in their hearts. .

Now that Paul gave her a chance, how could Irene not be happy.

"Earl Greiman!"

Erin stood up and bowed solemnly to Paul.

"I will never betray your trust in me."

Then she sat down and didn't say a word, but silently vowed in her heart that she would impress all the men present in a year.

"Then you can do well."

Paul casually gave a word of encouragement.

In fact, after he used the method of elimination to eliminate a bunch of inappropriate ones, he found that no one could use them except for the two female advisors, and among the two ladies, Ladi Xiaojie would be responsible for some occult aspects in his plan. Therefore, he left the job of education to "Dias Xiaojie".

Rather than "advancing through retreat" as Hansel speculated, if there is a man with the same conditions, he will subconsciously give priority to appointing a man.

"Everyone, let me tell you about the industry that I plan to develop next year—the kind that is sold overseas."

Hearing what the lord said, everyone cheered up.

"Steel smelting!"

"Cotton Textile Industry!"

"Printing Industry!"

This is the result of many discussions between Paul, Ford Manager, and Hansel, and it is now made public in front of all the senior officials of the Government Affairs Council.

Elon asked a little strangely: "Paul, apart from printing books, the ironware and textiles in Arda and Bairdin seem to have no competitiveness. Why not invest resources in industries such as porcelain and paper that have been proven to be profitable?"

All he knew was that Paul had built a very good printing press that could print a large number of books.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner."

"In terms of textiles, I will order the machinery factory to improve the current popular spinning and looms. Optimistically, the efficiency can be increased to forty times the current level!"

"As for iron smelting, there is already a whole set of new production techniques, a set of techniques that can crush the world's counterparts, and I believe it will be put into production soon. Is that right, Mr. Burns?"

Guy Burns stood up and nodded to Paul. "It will be done around the New Year."

"Then I don't worry. When it's done, you must notify me to witness the production of the first furnace of iron."

If it was half a year ago, everyone would have thought that the lord was talking big, but no one thinks so now.

Paul suddenly remembered something, "After the textile industry develops, we can produce cheaper military uniforms for soldiers."

Now the clothing of Arda's army is still in the "earth road" style. Perhaps the natives of this world don't think much of it, but for him, the combination of this style and "queue to shoot" is too inconsistent.

Sure enough, the Guards and Lobster Soldiers are still compatible with queuing up and shooting?

"Oh~ Lord Earl, do you want to improve the current military uniform?"

It was Bryce who spoke, and he said excitedly, "I have a lot of new ideas in my head."

Paul thought it was funny and said with a smile:

"Do you have an idea too? Well, when you go back, you draw yours, I draw mine, and the Navy also draws a copy, and then we can discuss it together."

The issues that should be discussed are almost discussed, and it is time to end the meeting.

"If there are no other questions, let's stop here today."

"Uh... Lord Earl, there is actually one more thing."

"Oh? Mr. Ford, please."

Old Ford cleared his throat.

"A lot of immigrants have come this year, and according to the plan, there will be more coming next year Should we specifically consider where to resettle, not referring to work, but where to live .Many of the people inside are single, and they will start a family in the future, so they can’t live in the temporary official building we built forever.”

Paul is wondering, is this a problem? In his plan, the immigrants are given priority to resettle in Huxin Town and Fulan Port, but the proportion must be controlled, and the population must still be dominated by local residents and workers recruited from all over the Northwest.

"When they earn enough money, wouldn't it be enough to buy a house near their workplace or hire someone to build it?"

The boss shook his head.

"That's right, but with so many people coming all of a sudden, the house can't be built randomly? There must be a regulation. In the past, the small town didn't have this problem, but with so many people coming all of a sudden, we really should think about it carefully. Think about it."

"What you said seems to make sense. Well, who will be in charge of this aspect? I don't know much about urban construction myself."

"My lord, the city construction should be done by professionals. You can definitely find professionals in this field in big cities."

"In this case, then find the top one. The largest city in the kingdom is Jingyao? Let's invite a planner from Wangdu to design it for us. The focus is on Huxin Town, Fulan Port, and Butuya. .”

"This... isn't this a bit...overkill?"

"Think about the long-term. Haha, maybe Huxin Town can also develop into a city with a scale of 100,000 people."

Everyone clicked their tongues secretly when they heard this. Is Earl Greiman talking in his sleep?

"Hansel, please pay attention next time you go to the capital."

"I've made a note, my lord."

In the end, everyone had no more questions, and Paul called the meeting adjourned.
