Chapter 27 - Changes in the style of painting

In history, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, there have been many things to win lottery tickets. Many remote kings and princes, even ordinary people with royal blood, became kings and emperors overnight. Even in contemporary times, Comrade Chuan Jianguo worked as a businessman all his life and became the number one person opposite the door through the general election. Wouldn’t this change in identity and position be even more amazing?

Having said that, when Comrade Jianguo became a leader of Country A, he did indeed do a lot of ridiculous things that were shocking, but these absurd things did not cause social turmoil. Most of them could be implemented, and some even played an unexpected role, thanks to the three-power system set by the great people. In the Astor Free Federation and the Lorraine Federation, this is exactly the mechanism of separation of powers. In theory, Weiss does not have to worry about making any major negligence or mistakes, and the acting governor, Bu

Linders was also happy to teach him various experiences and tricks about local management, but on the one hand he had too little time to study. On the other hand, although the Lorraine administrative agency played a role as a small government, mainly maintaining order and legal approval, and generally did not interfere with market behavior, during the war, the federal state was occupied by the enemy and all administrative agencies were reset to zero. After the war, it was basically the work of temporary officials led by Briders day and night to maintain operation.

To put it bluntly, what he is about to take over is a very challenging mess!

Federal laws and regulations clearly stipulate the relationship between government officials and economic entities. Once they become government officials, they cannot continue to serve as actual managers of enterprises or other non-governmental organizations. They can only retain their identity as shareholders, but they need to be inspected and supervised again and again to prove that there is no interest transfer between the identity of shareholders of enterprises and the role of government officials, so all this must be properly arranged. No one will give up the position of chairman of the Lorraine Industrialists Alliance, and return the title of operation officer of the Clumber-Hisson factory to the Lord. Before this, Sir Wyth had resigned from his position as deacon of the alliance and transferred the position of president of the family business to his younger brother. In this way, the "Big Seven" of the Lorraine Industrialists Alliance temporarily became the "Big Five", and the position of chairman of the alliance was taken over by the young, promising and energetic Nordimick.

After the election results were recognized by federal approval, Weiss and Brindes, the interim acting governor, completed the handover procedures and sat in the office that he had never dared to think about just a few weeks ago. In an instant, he seemed to be a VIP player, and the dark map suddenly opened in front of him...

Under the federal constitutional system, the governor is actually the chief operating officer of the federal state. Managing the state government and managing a huge enterprise have similarities in many places, and it is even simpler, because what to do and what cannot be done is clearly written in laws and regulations. Moreover, many government officials are also relatively stable groups. No matter how capable they are, they usually follow the established track and inertia, without any fault, and few people make trouble or change jobs. Although local councils reject local government proposals, they will also happen, but they are just a form of legalization of differences of opinions and uneven interests, which generally belong to internal reconciliation contradictions.

On the first day of sitting in this office, there were two main information placed in front of Weiss, one was a list of institutions and personnel, and the other was a variety of reports. Thinking of becoming the operation executive of the Klumber-Hisson factory on the first day, Weiss couldn't help laughing. Despite this, he still spent a lot of time seriously and passed these things one by one, through his mind, and through his heart. At this moment, he looked down on Lorraine from the perspective of God, and all the population, resources, and productivity were presented to him in the form of data or reports - although it was not as convenient as that, the principles and rules were similar.

As a remote area on the western border of the Federation, Lorraine's land is very vast and its resources are also very rich. However, the population is much smaller than other federal states, especially those rich. According to the official information of the Lorraine government, three years ago, the total population of this federal state was 37 million, which were distributed in 1,633 large and small towns and nearly 200,000 villages. After the war, the permanent population was re-registered was 32.96 million, and the towns were reduced.

There were 3 fewer and nearly 4,000 villages. Just looking at the numbers may not be special, but if you pick up a report from other federal states, you will find that the residents of Lorraine lived very scattered and the size of the towns was also small. You should know that the population of the capital Liberty City once soared to nearly 40 million due to large-scale migration and concentration during the war period. In other words, the population of a capital area can be comparable to that of Lorraine, which has a geographical area of ​​more than a hundred times.

The strength of a region is an important factor, but the federal government has not adopted a policy of household registration control. The population will flow naturally with the development of the region. As long as the region develops, the increase in population is not a problem. The factor that really restricts the development of Lorraine has been very detailed and scientifically analyzed before, that is, the development of transportation and industry.

To analyze the industrial structure of Lorraine, you can actually know about it by looking at the distribution of labor. Lorraine has a population of more than 30 million, and less than half of the registered labor force is registered. In other words, except for the elderly and children who do not have labor force at all, among those young people, middle-aged and middle-aged, women who are healthy and have normal intelligence, the proportion of women who work is very small. The current corporate jobs are less than 6 million. Most of the labor force either focuses on arable land or exports labor to other federal states.

Among the more than 5 million existing enterprises, industrial enterprises account for two-thirds, indicating that industry is the absolute pillar industry of Lorraine. However, whether it is economic data or taxation, Lorraine is completely different from an industry-oriented area. The reason is mainly because the technical content of Lorraine's industry is low. Judging from the data statistics of the state government, Lorraine's industrial capacity is not backward, but very backward. Except for mining enterprises everywhere, downstream industries such as metallurgy, casting, chemical industry, and machinery manufacturing are not only small in number, but weak in strength. Take the Klumber-Hisen family as an example. Before obtaining external capital injection, their main industries were the production of hunting rifles, craft rifles and some military guns. The production method and scale were almost no different from half a century ago. This is a microcosm of Lorraine's industry. After the destruction of war and the plunder of the Normans, Lorraine's current industrial situation was worse than before the war, and industries such as finance, medical care, and education were also completely uncharacteristic and generally lagging behind.

People can't see the various flaws in Lorraine's development, but previous officials of Lorraine did not have a good way to accelerate the economic and social development. All they could do was save expenses and invest as much government expenditure as possible in education, medical care and public infrastructure. From this point of view, the governments in previous years were relatively honest. However, in a booming industrial era, honesty alone was far from enough to promote the rapid development of a region. To this end, after the establishment of the Lorraine Industrial Alliance, Weiss communicated with acting governor Brindes many times, suggesting that the state government formulate measures to encourage industrial and social development. Brindes highly recognized those suggestions, but were limited to temporary states.

He had to take a limited number of powers of the superiors, and most of them were left to his descendants. At that time, they would never have thought that Weis would become the successor they verbally said. Now, the baton was handed over to him, as if it was already destined. Now, he could put his original ideas and suggestions into practice. This would be a golden period of great success. However, after looking through the relevant laws and regulations, you will find that things are not as simple as you imagined - some orders can take effect by the governor's signature, some need to be submitted to the state legislature for voting, and some powers belong to the federal government, which must be handled in different categories.

With Lorraine's geographical and cultural conditions, Weiss always believed that it was suitable for the development of heavy industries with metallurgy, chemical industry and mechanical manufacturing as the pillars. The primary condition for the development of heavy industries was to have money. Previously, the Klumber-Hisen family relied on large-scale financing to drive members of the Lorraine Industrial Alliance to invest in the development of industry, which made up for regional shortcomings, but their influence was not enough to cover the entire Lorraine. Drawing on the development experience of later generations, Weiss planned to invite the supervisors of various financial institutions and consortiums to convince them to work together to provide financial support for the development of Lorraine. In form, the Lorraine government led the establishment of a huge development fund, and the state government provided startup funds and reputation guarantees - this is in the alliance.

Bang is legal and compliant. Financial institutions and consortiums provide financing funds and enjoy preferential policies and economic benefits according to their shares. Lorraine’s industrialists apply for loans from this fund, specifically for industrial development. Infrastructure construction related to industrial development can also be operated through this fund. In order to increase the attractiveness, the return on investment can be increased by 5% based on the general market conditions of the market. Although it is only a small 5%, considering the active role of the Lorraine State government, the risks borne by financial institutions and consortiums have been greatly reduced, and the investment direction of this fund does meet the local characteristics and characteristics of Lorraine. Smart financial institutions and consortiums have made accurate decisions about these, so they will naturally not miss such opportunities.

The appointment of the governor means that the candidates of various functional departments must be quickly determined, and the entire state government will enter a normal state of operation. In the federal government, the appointment of officials does not require strict examinations or qualification reviews, which makes people feel a bit like a person who has achieved success. From the perspective of the appointment of government officials, it does give the governor unlimited power. He can even appoint an illiterate person as the chief of the education department. However, the consequences of such a willful and arbitrary behavior may lead to his own impeachment or peace by parliament.
