Chapter 1323: Annual General Meeting (Part 20)

All the Landlords were incredibly excited; this was fair competition. As for the proposals and plans, if they couldn't write them themselves, couldn't others write them for them?

There were still literate people in their own households; every Landlord's household, at the very least, could have a Clerk, and they knew how a proposal should be written.

As the masters of their households, they were the ones who should obtain power and privileges. If they obtained a Nobility, it could be passed down; they themselves would enjoy it, and their children could enjoy it too.

If their children obtained a Nobility, although it was a great thing, a Nobility could not be retroactively inherited by the elders. It wouldn't be given to the elders first and then returned to the children after the elders died; there was no such thing.

Now, the few Landlords looked at each other; they were all enemies now and could no longer communicate. After returning, they would have to compete with each other; they could not let others snatch away their path to obtaining a Nobility.

After waiting for their emotions to settle, Baifeng continued, "As for the last point, it is what I want to talk about: the Veterans Service Center. This is not considered too important, because all veterans, regardless of the reason for their retirement, will be provided for by Huaxia."

But looking at this year, after a year of war, there were so many disabled soldiers. Huaxia could not ignore them, but Huaxia did not have that many suitable positions for them to go to. Therefore, the goal now is to establish such a department to settle and guarantee all future veterans, ensuring that after they have guarded Huaxia, they can still receive their own security.

This Veterans Service Center still needs to be jointly managed with the Ministry of War. The opportunity I am giving you people is to find a way to set up a position for those veterans. If there is no suitable position, create one.

For example, I see that places like Nursing Homes and Kindergartens also need people to guard them, right? The elderly also need people to take care of them. Those disabled soldiers just cannot hold a Weapon, or have lost an arm, or are missing something.

For those who have completely lost the ability to work, there is no need for them to work; Huaxia will naturally support them. For those who still have a certain ability to work, they should be given a job to let them work as well. Only by working can they feel the value of their own existence.

They can do some simple work. Huaxia will allocate some grain as their subsidy. As for the wages for those positions, it depends on whether you are willing to pay them, or if the institutions you run will pay them.

I will mention one point about the Service Center: after taking office, one needs to align with the military, because those being cared for are soldiers, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Therefore, those who work and hold office there can also wear military uniforms and have military status, though there will be a distinction between civil and military positions. Our Ministry of War already has corresponding policies for this, right? Once you enter the Service Center, you can obtain a civil position. The specifics remain to be studied, but it will not be too low.

Now that I have given you so many choices, you can think about it yourselves. Whichever one it is, or whether you are willing or not, it is all fine. I will not force you. It is entirely possible for Huaxia to allocate the grain itself.

The current situation in Huaxia is excellent. You have heard the tax revenue handed over from so much reclaimed land. I should be considering where that grain should be used, not whether there is enough grain to use.

So, I am not doing this for your bit of grain; I just want to provide a new path for those of you who have needs. Those of you who are willing to seize this opportunity must hurry."

Without waiting for those Landlords to express their stance, Baifeng flipped the document directly: "Good, now let's move on to the next item."

Everyone had to quickly shift their thinking to listen to what the next item should be.

"Because so many departments and so many new places are planned for the future, regardless of whether the Landlord representatives are willing to participate, Huaxia will carry out construction. Therefore, many extra positions have emerged that need to be filled. The Ministry of Personnel should carry out planning during the construction later."

"And what we are going to do now is something the Ministry of Personnel needs to pay attention to. I have mentioned this idea to you before, and now it is time to prepare to implement it."

The current Minister of Personnel is Zhi, who was also from the same period as Xiong and Chi. At that time, he was still a Soldier, and Baifeng had also been training him in the direction of a general, but he did not have great leadership talent and was just an excellent Soldier.

Originally, the Minister of Personnel was Wu. After Wu died, Baifeng served concurrently as the Minister of Personnel for a period, and then transferred Zhi over directly. The Ministry of Personnel does not need too much talent; what Baifeng needs most is loyalty, the ability to make himself feel at ease.

Zhi is exactly such a person. Although he was transferred from a military general to a civil official, Zhi's cultural level is now qualified, and coupled with his loyalty to Baifeng, Baifeng trusts him enough.

As for the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, that is, the deputy position, it is a young man named Tao Liming. Baifeng delivered him personally back then. He is also competitive enough, and his brain is still smart; he did not ruin his brain due to dystocia, and he learns fast enough.

Baifeng trusts him, and he has enough ability himself, so his speed of rising in the Ministry of Personnel is quite fast. His father is Tao, the Factory Manager of the Ceramics Factory of the Ministry of Works. Because he produced porcelain, he had long ago obtained a Nobility and a surname. The surname was, of course, determined according to his work, which is the character Tao.

Tao Liming can also be considered the one who has climbed the highest among the younger generation, but Baifeng did not intend to let him reach that highest position too quickly. A deputy position requires a lot of training.

Now serving as a deputy in the Ministry of Personnel, he can be transferred to another department later to serve as a principal in a lower-level department. After going back and forth a few times and letting his age grow, he can then be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

Besides, Zhi is still in very good health, and it will be many years before he retires, enough to last until Tao Liming has completely grown up.

Now that it has come to matters concerning the Ministry of Personnel, the two of them naturally have to pay one hundred percent attention to listen.

"I now declare that we will standardize the Establishment System of our Huaxia."

"In the future, everyone serving in the Huaxia government, whether they are officials or Clerks, must enter the Establishment System."

"The so-called Establishment System means being registered in the Ministry of Personnel, having wages issued uniformly by Huaxia, and having promotions and transfers decided by the Huaxia government. They will enjoy certain preferential treatment, but the management requirements will also be stricter. Furthermore, after entering the Establishment System, if one does not commit any mistakes, one will not be dismissed. When one is old and retires, a certain pension will also be issued normally to ensure their livelihood."
