The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Factions

The latest census has come out, and it is not the 590 million that Mrs. Sharon expected, but 630 million. The extra population is dug out from the secluded deep mountains and old forests.

This is also the limit, but for a country with a land area of ​​more than 26 million square kilometers, with a population of more than 600 million, it can only be described as vast land and sparsely populated.

"You want money everywhere?" Wilson picked up the documents and walked to Essien's office. He wanted to ask this old man for help.

Entering Essien's office, he happened to be scratching his hair with both hands, looking like he was going crazy.

"If you come to talk to me about money, then don't talk about it." As soon as Essien saw Wilson, he directly refused.

Wilson sat silently on the sofa opposite Essien.

Wilson is now Reich Chancellor of the Exchequer and Governor of the Reich Central Bank.

The real man who holds the pocketbook of the empire.

Essien is the Minister of Administration of the Empire, responsible for all administrative work of the Empire. In theory, he is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor, and he has 28 ministers under him.

The imperial officials are divided into twelve levels, and the minister is the highest official rank in the empire. There are three in total, namely the minister of finance, the minister of administration and the minister of military affairs.

The Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire is Arturia.

The ministers under the ministers represent the highest officials of various departments, and the ministers under the ministers are the governors of the provinces, also known as ministers.

The fourth level is the city lord, the fifth level is the county lord, and the sixth level is the town order.

The head of the city department is one rank below the head of the city, followed by ordinary civil servants, and so on.

The recently established Imperial Population Commission is one of them. The minister is Thomson. In addition to asking the Minister of Finance, he also asks the Minister of Administration for money.

Every year, the special funds for each department will be distributed by the Finance Yuan to the Executive Yuan in batches, and then distributed to various departments by the Minister of Administration as appropriate. Under normal circumstances, the Minister of Administration will keep a certain amount of activity funds in his hands.

This is why Wilson came to Essien.

The two were silent for a long time before Essien spoke.

"There is a lack of money everywhere, especially in the original northern and southern provinces. The economy has not stabilized completely, the grain has not been harvested, and various benefits are going on at the same time..."

After hearing this, Wilson also made a bitter face and vomited bitterness.

"In the final analysis, the development is still too fast. If His Majesty hadn't attacked the northern and southern provinces so much and gradually eroded them, we wouldn't be so stretched."

"If we move to the north and south provinces according to the speed of digestion, and want to completely unify the Melox Empire, there will be at least five years, or even more time. These five years are enough to reduce the population of 600 million by another 100 million. "

A familiar voice sounded from the side. It was Alfonso's wife, University Scholar Hilkin. Due to the shortage of manpower, she was hired as Essien's administrative assistant.

Shirkin poured a cup of black tea for each of them.

"Well, why don't we know, but the stalls are too big now, and it's impossible to block all the holes in a short time. The two provinces of Gorland and the two autonomous regions of Beifeng and Changfeng are alright, and construction has already started a long time ago. Now it has begun to feed back the empire, and the provinces of Melox and Yalanshi have already become important economic provinces of the empire."

"However, there are still more than 20 provinces that are lagging behind, even the once richest province of Cleveland is no exception. The welfare of the people must keep up, otherwise it will be easy to be caught by those who want to attack the empire. Essien said, taking a sip of black tea.

"We can move forward slowly. For example, each province selects one area to implement it, and other areas slow down. It is not necessary to implement it all. For example, hospital facilities are built first in area A, and roads are built first in area B, etc., so that the people can have confidence. And the speed of the factory can also be appropriately slowed down." Hirkin's words made Essien and Wilson's eyes light up.

"It's a good idea, but some policies must not be slowed down. Education and medical care are the foundation of the future empire, and they must not be sloppy." Wilson quickly set the tone.

Essien nodded in agreement.

"And we can mobilize funds to East Yap." Hirkin said with bright eyes.

Hearing this, Wilson suddenly woke up and said: "Yes, how could I have forgotten this matter? Some time ago, His Majesty had already planned to include 51% of the shares of Dong Yapu Company in the empire's finances. We can definitely Execute ahead of schedule."

"What else?" Essien became interested immediately.

Dongyapu Company is now flourishing in the East Asia subcontinent, centered on the Prince Federation, and its business radiates half of the East Asia subcontinent. Because they avoid conflicts with the Maxim Chamber of Commerce, they mainly engage in business with Maxim Chamber of Commerce completely avoided, and even the two sides have begun to cooperate.

Today, the Dongyapu Company earns more than 100 million gold coins in the Asian East Subcontinent every year. As long as half of the gold coins are transferred back, it is enough to solve the urgent needs of the empire.

"But it's not easy!" said Hilkin.

Wilson and Essien showed solemn expressions at the same time.

There is no other reason. The top executives of East Yap Company, Lan Mallouk, and Flada have joined forces to manage the entire East Yap Company. It is not so easy for them to order East Yap Company.

"We can send people to make contact, and if we can't do it in the end, we can ask His Majesty to come forward. The East Yapu Company has grown so big, even if His Excellency Nuomiri is behind it to support it." Xier Jin said with a serious face.

His husband is Alfonso, and Alfonso is Arturia's direct subordinate, so she is naturally a member of His Highness Artoria's faction.

Hearing what Hirkin said, Wilson and Essien showed worried expressions at the same time.

Now that the empire has just been established, several wives around His Majesty have also begun to fight for power and profit.

Among them, the strong officials of the Nomiri and Artoria factions are the most obvious, and they have begun to contain each other's power.

Essien had noticed this matter early on, and told Aslan about it, but Aslan just smiled and didn't answer.

There is no other reason. This is inevitable in the development of every force. As the saying goes, there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Mutual containment and mutual promotion are also good for the development of the empire.

If both parties look like good old people, there are only two possibilities.

The empire has been hollowed out long ago, or else it has lost its vitality, and the entire empire has fallen into a lifeless cycle.

Only competition can make people progress. What Aslan has to do is to balance the struggle between the two sides, and at the same time regulate the laws of the empire, so that everything is restricted within the rules and regulations. Whoever dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool will be hit by the thunder.

Aslan's purpose is very simple, on the one hand to encourage fighting, on the other hand to regulate the scope of fighting.
