Chapter 1266: Chapter 717, Top-notch Cattle and Horses

Arno got a rather long vacation, which is quite rare.

After the holiday, he doesn’t know where he’ll be sent next, or what mission he’ll have to carry out.

Logically, Osenia should cherish this period of time, and try to carve out some time apart from work to reunite with family and accompany each other.

However, there was simply no way to find the time.

The affairs came one after another. First, before the governor left, there were continuous meetings to set the direction for the subsequent work. This period really couldn’t be delayed, as Mr. Gu could only stay within the Alliance for another month before leaving.

After seeing Mr. Gu off, she didn’t become more relaxed, but instead even busier.

Originally, many decisions could be handled in the Governor’s Office, where hundreds of the Empire’s elite staff would issue the finalized decisions to the Alliance Government according to the governor’s wishes. Osenia found this part of the work relatively relaxed, as she didn’t need to use much brainpower and could just follow the Governor’s Office’s opinions.

And there wouldn’t be much room for disputes.

Do the government departments disagree with the decisions? Have opinions?

Keep them to yourself!

That is the governor’s will; the instruction is only to implement, with no room for bargaining!

Osenia needn’t think, nor come up with plans, smooth things out, just execute and it’s done.

But now, it’s gone!

Without the governor, it was naturally impossible for the staff in the Governor’s Office to transmit the governor’s opinions.

While more than half of them stayed and did not go to Holy Terra, the remaining… actually had no need to exist, as they were all placed as middle and high-level officials in government, legal, and military lines.

This was also a traditional route for the governor’s staff. The governor’s staff were always drawn from government units, legal units, local units, military units, and schools to serve as the governor’s aides. Moreover, there would be a significant proportion of excellent graduate talents among them. Members from diverse backgrounds jointly formed the Governor’s Office.

After serving for a period, they would be dispatched, often with a significant promotion.

This is also a conventional means for the governor to train high-level officials.

It can be considered as gilding, but it’s more than just gilding. In the Governor’s Office, these aides could encounter high-level affairs throughout the alliance, broadening their perspective; they often had the opportunity to hear Mr. Gu’s visionary ideas, further understanding Mr. Gu’s thinking, and after being deployed, could represent the governor’s will for a long period. Their loyalty, beyond doubt.

From Gu Hang’s perspective, it was also about nurturing loyalty and ideological awareness in advance with the stars of potential and future mainstays of the Alliance so that Mr. Gu could better grasp the entire Alliance.

Now that these people have been released, although the government departments have gained many excellent hands, they still cannot replace the governor’s decision-making role.

Now, many things require the government departments, which means Osenia herself, to handle.

Not to mention the increase in workload, it was already exhausting for the mind, and now even more so.

Take now, for example, the leaders of the Alliance’s Production Ministry, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Tax Special Committee are arguing heatedly in front of Osenia.

The three have different opinions, mainly regarding the supply of agricultural products and industrial consumer goods, the overall well-being of all people in the Alliance, and the coordinated collection work for the Imperial Tax, which indeed spawned conflicts among each other.

The supply side actually isn’t much of a problem. The Minister of Production, Zhao Jiuzheng, mainly came to report on the current coordinated production situation of the Alliance, and he actually didn’t have much of an opinion on how it should be specifically distributed.

If he must express an opinion, he’s on the side of Wen Zhengnan, the Minister of Civil Affairs: he hopes to ensure that the living standards of the industrial workers don’t fall, and hopefully even improve.

That consequently implies a general rise in salary grades.

Wen Zhengnan has the same objective.

In fact, what he aims to accomplish isn’t merely for various industrial workers.

At the level of the entire Alliance, he intends to steadily advance the rise of all citizens in terms of salary grades.

The salaries and welfare of the Alliance’s people are linked with their salary grades. Familiar E9 and below grades actually bear low burdens; the welfare and consumption of individuals aren’t extensive. Though it’s the largest demographic, they’re also producing incomes, and their outputs often exceed the welfare and salaries afforded by their grades and consumed goods.

But further up, the disbursement for welfare and salaries becomes substantial.

Of course, it doesn’t mean those in high grades contribute little. On the contrary, ascending to such high status signifies considerable contributions.

Especially for those advancing swiftly, it’s even more the case. Within Grades E, advancing an annual level; starting from Grade D, every two to three years a level, also requiring assessments—failure to pass delays advancement. Breaking conventions for rapid advancement demands outstanding performance; for D5 and above, it is a promotion every 5 to 6 years. Above D8, it’s an 8 to 10-year advancement.

Calculating based on a person reaching E5 at 18 years of age in adulthood, spending 5 years in E grade, it takes 14 years to reach D5, putting them at 37 years. Then 18 more years to reach D8, another 9 years to D9, and the person would be 64 years old, essentially obtaining a D9 salary grade and enjoying retirement—during retirement, receiving all political benefits according to rank, 70% welfare benefits, and 40% salary benefits.
