Chapter 204 Year-end 4

Chapter 204 End of the Year 4
Elon Garnard, who had been silent beside him, said, “Butua originally had a church school, perhaps we can work with them to increase the size of that school?”

“Oh, forget it, Elon!”

Paul waved his hand back and forth, “I’ve heard that many of the clergy have some sort of special fondness for young boys, and I wouldn’t want to send more children there.”

The crowd roared with laughter, except for the female counselor who blushed.

Paul reached out and clenched his hand in mid-air, “We must have an education system that is completely under the control of the Council of State!”

He suddenly turned his gaze and kept glancing at the female counselor.

Irene’s heart jumped at his look, in front of so many people, Earl Greiman was just too rude.

The female advisor blushed slightly and asked without a good grace, “Is there something wrong with Lord Earl?”

“Ms. Diaz, I don’t know if you have any intention ……”

“What …… what?”

“The position of the head of the Ministry of Education in the Council of State is still empty, and originally this aspect was not systematic, so there is not much to do, but if we are going to establish so many schools, then there will be a lot of work in the future.”

“Well, indeed.”

“So, do you have any interest in taking on the position of head of the Ministry of Education?”

Erin froze for a moment and looked at Paul not knowing what to say.

Paul waited quietly for the other woman’s answer, but before the female counselor could say anything, someone in the hall voiced an objection.

“Ahem! Lord Graiman, this seems out of keeping with tradition, how can a woman hold a public office? Oh, I’m not doubting Miss Diaz’s scholarship, after all, she’s a real scholar, but a woman …… In short, it’s not in keeping with tradition.”

It was Baron Hansel Abbott who spoke, and it was clear that he disapproved of the fact that Paul was going to appoint a woman to the office – a position that was still equal to his.

“But in our administrative system, Miss Diaz, and Miss Laddie, appear to be the two most learned.”

“Being the most learned doesn’t mean that one is suitable for administration in politics! Your Excellency, how can some scholars who only focus on their research and lack even daily social skills cope with the work up and down in the governmental system?”

“But I remember that Her Highness is a great woman who is well versed in both military and political affairs!”

At the mention of the Kingdom’s Grand Princess Catherine, the still-frozen “Ms. Diaz”‘s body slightly trembled.

“Oh! Lord Earl.” Hansel felt a bit amused, “You can’t use an example to illustrate the situation, besides, Her Highness Catherine grew up in the royal family, and has a favorable family condition that the majority of people don’t have, the education she receives, and the opportunities to get exercise are able to crush most of the men in the country.”

“And ……” Hansel’s mouth quirked, “I’m afraid that if His Majesty had an equally fine prince, Her Highness Catherine would not be as radiant as she is now.”

Paul had to ask everyone, “What is your opinion on the appointment of Ms. Diaz as head of the Ministry of Education.”

The crowd looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end, they all got up with their eyes and noses, all of them didn’t squeak. So long to get along, we all admire the female adviser’s knowledge, but appoint a woman well …… too say it is not reasonable.

Paul had to ask again: “Someone can come forward to recommend themselves for the post of head of the Ministry of Education? Or recommend subordinates can also.”

Still no one squeaked, from the Northwest Gulf of the big old men are very self-conscious, education, heard that they can not play things.

And from the royal capital of several “high level” talent, Bernard served as chief secretary, every day with Paul inseparable, dealing with a variety of documents, scheduling and so on, just became the director of the machine shop Guy Burns is a technical geek, in addition to the study of technology in addition to what do not want to take care of, when the director of the factory has been very difficult.

Neither of these two want to take on more work on themselves.

The only one who has an idea is Hansel, he is a person who prefers power.

But Hansel also have self-awareness, as the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, there are still a bunch of things to do in agriculture, just by the Lord complained about the integration of arable land is too slow, and now he is also in charge of accepting immigrants and recruiting foreign talents, is also busy as hell.

Now his mind was quickly thinking about who to recommend for the position of head of the education department. Of course, the scope must be among the talents he had recruited, preferably the same old folks from the royal capital.

But Hansel couldn’t find anyone who met all the three conditions of “early arrival, strong ability, and a certain degree of fit with His Lordship”.

Who would use a newcomer to take up an important position?
Strong ability, this is also necessary, otherwise even he himself can not see, he has always been to the ability of the senior.

There is a certain degree of fit with the Lord of Lords, this is also very important. The old man who came from the Northwest needless to say, that is the basic plate of the Lord Lord of Lords, among the foreign senior officials, Bernard started from simple affairs, and step by step, he gained the recognition of the Earl, and Guy Burns has the same interest with the Earl, both of them are equally full of love for technology whatsoever, and he himself is with the Earl to get what he needs, and it is sort of an alliance of some kind.

Damn! A man hates a man when he comes to use it, should he just watch such an important position fall into that woman’s hands? His Lordship obviously places quite a bit of importance on education.

Just as Hansel’s head was sweating with anxiety, Paul spoke up.

“Since no one can mention a good candidate, I think that for the time being, Ms. Diaz will still be in charge of education matters. However, given that there is only one school in the territory that is currently under the jurisdiction of the Council of State, Vis Academy, which is not as busy as the other departments, I have decided to change the Ministry of Education to the Department of Education, the department is a unit one level lower than the ministry, and Ms. Diaz will temporarily serve as the head of the Department of Education, oh no, it’s the acting head, what do you all think?”

The crowd was still silent.

“Is there no objection?” Paul changed the way he asked the question.

“Uh …… I think this is fine.” Someone finally spoke in a whisper, and the others nodded faintly in acquiescence to the Earl’s decision.

“Then it’s settled.”

Only Hansel was unhappy in his heart: how could everyone not see that Lord Earl was retreating in order to advance, I guarantee that woman will be on par with the heads of ministries in less than two years, and the Education Department will be re-upgraded to the Ministry of Education.

For the female advisor’s ability, Hansel is still relatively recognized, just for a woman to hold such an important position, he always feel wrong in his heart.

If the female advisor hadn’t gone toe-to-toe with her on the refugee issue, he would have admitted it with his nose pinched, but since there were policy differences between the two, he certainly didn’t want the other party to gain more power.
