Chapter 204 Year-End 4

Elon Garnard, who had been silent next to him, said: "There used to be a missionary school in Butua. Maybe we can cooperate with them to increase the size of that school?"

"Oh, forget it, Elon!"

Paul waved his hands repeatedly, "I heard that many clergy have some kind of special interest in little boys. I don't want more children to go there."

Everyone burst out laughing, except for the female consultant who blushed with embarrassment.

Paul stretched out his hand and shook it tightly in mid-air, "We must establish an education system that is completely under the control of the Government Affairs Council!"

He suddenly changed his eyes and kept looking at the female consultant.

Irene's heart skipped a beat when he saw him. In front of so many people, Earl Grayman was really rude.

The female consultant's face turned red, and she asked angrily: "Is there something wrong, Lord Count?"

"Miss Dias, I wonder if you have any intention..."

"Wha...what?"

"The position of director of the Ministry of Education in the Government Affairs Council is still vacant. Originally, this aspect was not systematic, so there was nothing to do. But if we want to build so many schools, there will be a lot of work in the future."

"Well, that's true."

"So, are you interested in taking up the position of director of the Ministry of Education?"

Erin was stunned for a moment, looking at Paul and not knowing what to say.

Paul waited quietly for the other party's answer, but before the female consultant could say anything, someone in the hall expressed objections.

"Ahem! Mr. Grayman, this seems inconsistent with tradition. How can a woman hold public office? Oh, I am not doubting Miss Dias's knowledge. After all, she is a genuine scholar, but women... In short, this is inconsistent with tradition. Doesn’t match.”

The speaker was Baron Hansel Abbott, who obviously disapproved of Paul's decision to appoint a female official - one who was equal to him in the position.

"But in our administrative system, Miss Dias and Miss Ladi seem to be the two most knowledgeable people."

"Learning does not necessarily mean that you are suitable for government management work! Your Majesty, some scholars are just immersed in research and lack daily communication skills. How can they cope with the ups and downs of the government system?"

"But I remember that Her Royal Highness the Princess is a heroic woman who is good at both military and political affairs!"

When the eldest princess of the kingdom, Catherine, was mentioned, "Miss Dias", who was still in a daze, trembled slightly.

"Oh! Lord Earl." Hansel felt a little funny, "You can't use an example to explain the situation. Besides, Her Royal Highness Catherine grew up in the royal family and has favorable family conditions that most people do not have. The education and achievements she received The training opportunities can crush most men in the country."

"And..." Hansel's lips curled up slightly, "If His Majesty the King had an equally outstanding prince, I'm afraid His Highness Catherine would not be as dazzling as she is now."

Paul had no choice but to ask everyone: "What are your opinions on the appointment of Miss Dias as director of the Ministry of Education?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at their noses and mouths, but no one said a word.

After getting along for such a long time, everyone admires the knowledge of the female consultant, but appointing a woman... is too unreasonable.

Paul had no choice but to ask: "Can anyone come forward and recommend themselves to be the director of the Ministry of Education? Or recommend a subordinate."

Still no one said anything. The rough guys who came from the Northwest Bay are very self-aware. Education is something they can't play with.

As for several "high-level" talents from the royal capital, Bernard serves as the chief secretary and has to be with Paul every day, handling various documents, arranging schedules, etc. Guy Byrne, who has just become the director of the machinery factory, Si Ze is a technical geek who doesn't want to care about anything except studying technology. Being a factory director is already very difficult.

Neither of these two people want to take too much trouble on themselves.

The only one with an idea is Hansel, who prefers power.

But Hansel is also self-aware. As the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, there is still a lot of things to do in agriculture. The lord just complained that the progress of integrating farmland is too slow, and now he is also in charge of accepting immigrants and recruiting talents from outside. Things are also very busy.

Now his mind was racing with who to recommend for the post of head of the education department. Of course, the scope must be among the talents he has recruited, and it is best to be fellow people from the royal capital.

But Hansel thought about it and couldn't find a person who met all the three conditions of "coming early, being very capable, and having a certain degree of compatibility with the lord".

He came earlier, that's for sure. Who would use a new person to occupy an important position?

Being very capable is also necessary, otherwise even he himself would not look down on him. He has always judged others based on their ability.

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

It is also important to have a certain degree of compatibility with the Lord. Needless to say, the old man who came from the northwest was the lord's base. Among the high-ranking foreign officials, Bernard started with simple affairs and gradually gained the earl's recognition. Guy Burns was interested in the earl. The two of them were equally passionate about technology, and he and the earl each took what they needed, which was considered an alliance in some form.

hateful! When people are needed, it's hard to hate them. Do you want to watch such an important position fall into the hands of that woman? The Lord obviously attaches great importance to education.

Just when Hansel was sweating on his head, Paul spoke.

"Since no one can come up with a good candidate, I think Miss Dias will be in charge of education for the time being. However, since there is only one school under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Council in the territory, Weiss College, which is not as busy as other departments, I decided to change the Ministry of Education to the Department of Education. The Department is a unit one level lower than the Ministry. Miss Dias will temporarily serve as the director of the Department of Education, oh no, the acting director. What do you think?"

No one spoke.

"No one objects?" Paul changed the way of asking questions.

"Uh... I think this is good." Finally someone spoke in a low voice, and the others nodded slightly, which was regarded as tacitly agreeing with the decision of the Earl.

"Then it's settled."

Only Hansel was unhappy: Why didn't everyone see that the Earl was retreating to advance? I guarantee that the woman will be on par with the heads of various departments within two years, and the Department of Education will be upgraded to the Ministry of Education again.

Hansel still recognized the ability of the female consultant, but he always felt that it was not right for a woman to hold such an important position.

If the female adviser had not confronted her on the refugee issue, he would have just accepted it, but since the two had policy differences, he certainly did not want the other party to gain more power.
