Chapter 153 Ministry of Finance
Not only Tianjiu, but everyone in the entire venue was captivated. This was a weak spot in the empire, yet no one was willing to poke at it.
Today we will see whether the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, or the young and energetic one is more capable of taking the lead.
"As everyone knows, New Hope School is a special upward path created for exceptional students who possess certain talents but are not suitable for military academies.
My idea is exactly the same, to create a special school specifically for people without psychic talents."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil.
"The purpose of running a school is to select outstanding talents and cultivate outstanding talents. How can we open a school specifically for losers?"
"It would be easier to just open a prison and lock them up. Giving them teachers is a waste of resources!"
"Special school, what do these people learn?"
"The Ole family also wants to get involved in education. Doesn't the Ole family want the Ministry of Finance?"
The others didn't know the situation and were complaining in a mess, but Tianjiu suddenly turned around and looked at the marshal.
My heart was beating uncontrollably and I felt like vomiting due to excitement.
The marshal said nothing, but just looked at her with a faint smile.
Little Ole below ignored all the voices and stood still.
When the discussion died down, he continued:
“Starting from each district, establish district-level schools in the district capital, screen students, and implement closed-door management.
Students are given three years to try various subjects and find their strengths. Based on their strengths, they are recommended to continue their studies at the corresponding schools.
Those who have no particular expertise but meet the academic standards in all subjects will be awarded the Imperial All-Round Talent Certification. This qualification is equivalent to a regular high school diploma.
Each district government department and enterprise must accept a certain number of all-round talents. If the number of accepted talents reaches a certain standard, they will receive appropriate bonus points in the annual evaluation.
Everyone at the scene was silent.
Little Ole put down the documents and slowly raised his eyes to look directly at the Marshal. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his face calm, but his heart was pounding.
He was honored to have participated in the turning point of the empire's history.
He will be the one who will be repeatedly referred to as "the man who fired the first shot."
But the development of history is a gradual process.
Ordinary people living in this era are surrounded by changes but are unaware of their profound significance.
I don’t know if the news from the day before yesterday will be the turning point written by future historians, I don’t know if yesterday’s complaints will be the fuse for the future, and I don’t know if today may be the climax of the event.
Only looking back did I suddenly realize that it was then that everything had already been traced.
But there are always some people in high positions who see the trend of the times and know the direction of the future.
In fact, they are not only witnesses of history, but also boosters of the wheel of history.
The Marshal is the future helmsman of the empire.
And Miss Shen is the navigator of the imperial ship.
He was fortunate enough to travel first class on this giant ship and became a signalman beside the helmsman.
Therefore, Marshal, please keep yourself clean, respect yourself, be diligent and self-reliant, reflect on yourself every day, and supervise yourself at all times, so as not to disappoint your followers' expectations of you.
Otherwise, if the navigator runs away, no one will want your broken ship!
Yuan Xu, who had no idea what little Ole meant by his eyes, looked at him with satisfaction and nodded imperceptibly.
Tianjiu was shocked.
Is it possible to do this? Just for her school, the Marshal is willing to do this!
She could no longer control her fantasies. Every muscle in her body was trembling.
What a vast and complex system this would be, like the roots of a great tree extending and taking root throughout the entire human empire, continuously absorbing the most promising group of people for it.
They come together, work together, and eventually grow into a new tree of life for mankind.
Could this be true? Tianjiu couldn't help but ask himself.
This is real! Tianjiu told himself again and again. Isn't today already the day we're moving towards reality?
Tianjiu looked at the people present below. They were all historical witnesses of this great change without knowing it.
Now they still don’t know why the school is under completely closed management, don’t understand what specialties the students are expected to develop, and don’t know which schools will accept these students with special talents.
Eventually they will realize it.
But for now, the mere fact of launching all-round talents equivalent to an ordinary high school diploma is enough to make them feel a slight change.
Linked to government and corporate assessments, this will indeed play a certain role in attracting talent.
Businesses experienced little loss and even profited. A group of people and their families, facing near-misses, immediately gained hope. The empire resolved a host of social problems.
As long as the financial problem is solved, this bill will definitely be passed immediately and supported by the majority of people.
But the most difficult aspect of any bill is always the financial issue.
This time, no one spoke out to mock the proposers of the bill for being overestimating their capabilities, having unrealistic ideas, not considering financial issues, and being out of touch with reality.
Such a well-thought-out proposal certainly wasn't something a small director came up with on his own. The person behind it was clearly the mastermind.
If anyone pours cold water on the matter again, it means that they are unwilling to see the empire develop and are not giving face to the marshal.
But the financial issue is really the most critical issue.
Every year, at least 8,000 bills are rejected due to financial difficulties, if not 10,000. This is something that even the Marshal cannot control.
But the real effort to get a proposal passed by vote is always behind the proposal, at the negotiating table.
Now we just have to wait for him to come up with a solution and whose cake he wants to touch.
"As for the initial source of funding for the school's operations, the Ministry of Finance will establish a special fund based on the average annual financial expenditure of various departments for this group of people over the past 300 years.
This fund covers all student expenses other than tuition fees. Tuition fees are handled in the same manner as for ordinary junior and senior high schools in the Imperial College. Students are also eligible to apply for student loans, scholarships, etc.
It exploded, the venue exploded!
It all comes back to the Finance Department!
There is no mention of directly diverting funds from any particular department, only the creation of a special fund. This means allocating a larger portion of the existing total specifically for special schools.
But there's only so much money, and it used to be shared among 100 people, but now it's shared among 101. Who will get less, and how much less, is a matter of debate.
Ultimately, once the bill is passed, the new finance minister will have to carry out drastic reforms despite the pressure of offending everyone.
Whether the finance minister can still sit still depends on his personal ability.
Suddenly, Xie Binghuan felt that his position as deputy minister was already very good, so why did he need a bicycle?
Qian Liangze was feeling sorry for the family property he had given away before. Wasn't it all just a waste of money?
Little Paris was bewildered. A finance minister who really wanted to get things done and stop trying to smooth things over? He had no idea.
Huo Fengren was quite confident and eager to try.
"My Lord Marshal, Mr. Speaker, if I become the Minister of Finance, I will use the title of the Olai family as a guarantee to complete the task within three months."
"Hahahaha!"
"A good son of the Ole family!"
"Young people are really ambitious! Ole is so lucky!"
"Three months, give him a try! He's a young man, so we have to give him a chance."
Such cruelty? General Huo thought it was unnecessary.
Ole Gabriel ignored the jeers and saluted the first person.
Ms. Shen, I will be your warrior.
[Sir, you are killing two birds with one stone.]
【The goal is clear, and it’s just you. 】
