Chapter 222: If it is Ye Lixia, the quality of the offspring...
Gu Hang never wanted to oppress the people to the extreme and make everyone on the planet produce like crazy like tools wound up by clockwork.
Some imperial worlds do this, but this is inconsistent with Gu Hang’s philosophy.
There are mainly two aspects.
Firstly, he probably discovered that in his system, the monthly fixed income of each territory not only depends on the improvement of productivity and the degree of territory development, but also the happiness of the population and the degree of support for him, which is an important coefficient link.
It is not advisable to be completely productivity-oriented and ignore the improvement of people's living standards. The gift points of his monthly income will hit a ceiling and may even fall.
As for the second aspect, Gu Hang's past experience, memory, and ideas all make him believe that what drives a person to create greater value mainly comes from motivation and work enthusiasm.
Gu Hang is more inclined to believe that the alliance system should stimulate enthusiasm through such means to create greater value.
Violent oppression will instead lead to people being unwilling to work: no matter how hard they work, life will still be hopeless, so what’s the point of working hard?
You only eat welfare rations and get the minimum allowance for a month, why are you fighting for your life?
Without an upward path and no happiness to speak of, won't we just have to muddle through and be done with it casually?
Even after causing great dissatisfaction, passivity, strikes, etc. are secondary, and rebellion is not impossible.
Gu Hang's current ruling situation certainly doesn't worry about rebellion. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed, no matter how many there are.
But it’s a loss.
It costs money to suppress a rebellion; the rebels were originally producers, and the time when they stopped producing also costs money; if the rebels are executed, then all the value they could have created in their future lives will be gone, which also costs money.
Let alone a large-scale, widespread rebellion, just a farm with a hundred or so people rioting and killing grassroots officials. How to deal with this? Rebellion is definitely not tolerated, but Gu Hang feels distressed when a hundred or so people are lost.
In particular, this kind of loss is avoidable; this kind of rebellion caused by public dissatisfaction should not have happened.
Even if we take a step back, Gu Hang is not capable of doing such a thing.
The officials in charge of the regime he established are all inhumane and oppress the people. When Gu Hang sees this kind of thing, his blood pressure will instinctively soar.
That was not the world he wanted to build.
He was generally satisfied with the series of reform proposals put forward by Jason Morgan and felt that they could be tried out.
There will definitely be some problems, but overall it shouldn't be worse than it is now.
Just solve the problem when it arises.
And if this method works well in Beiqinggu Province, he also plans to implement the relevant plans in other parts of the alliance.
Some centralized and densely populated industrial centers are not suitable for this. For example, the urban institutions and factory institutions in Weixing City and Fuxing City are not necessary. Workers are assessed by piecework and have a complete work system. Workshop leaders need technical experts, and factory managers need a higher level of management. In addition, production and people's livelihood are separated. Residential areas are managed by the street government and district government of the residential areas, and factories are managed by the factories.
But similar experiences can be replicated in places like Beiqinggu Province, which are scattered over a vast area and have a sparse population.
For example, the eastern provinces, and the northern territories that will be recovered in the future.
…
After the three people who reported to the Governor left, Lambert Hodgson said goodbye to the two senior government officials and returned to his office.
He still has a lot of his own things to do.
Although it has been reported, the anti-counterrevolutionary operation in Beiqinggu Province has actually only made 20% of the progress, and there are still a large number of farms that have not been checked; moreover, since the anti-counterrevolutionary operation has already begun, Lambert does not intend to limit the scope to Beiqinggu Province, but plans to carry out it throughout the entire alliance.
In the settlements that were reorganized locally in the eastern provinces and the three central provinces, many of the original ruling classes who had not resisted or whose resistance was relatively weak were also retained.
When they were retained as low- and middle-level government managers of the alliance, they were warned by the Disciplinary Committee not to mess around, otherwise they would be in trouble - in fact, the farm owners in Beiqing Valley were also warned.
Now, it’s time to see if the warnings are effective.
However, the conditions in those places should be much better than Beiqing Valley.
Beiqing Valley is in a special situation. It is mainly agricultural production, administrative power is extremely dispersed, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. In other provinces, small settlements have been basically abandoned and the population has moved away. Large, concentrated settlements with industries have been retained, and many officials from the alliance have settled in. Moreover, it is not as easy to deal with industrial, mining, and centralized agricultural production as it is to deal with farms that are far away from the emperor.
In fact, the demon hunter team had also inspected other places before coming to Beiqing Valley. There were indeed some problems, but they were far from as serious as here in Qing Valley.
Just carry out anti-corruption operations as normal.
In general, the investigation team of the Disciplinary Committee has to work overtime and is still busy. And Lambert, the Supreme Court Justice, naturally has no time to rest.
The Disciplinary Committee is busy arresting people and conducting audits; the Alliance Police, Security Bureau, and Prison Bureau of the Executive Committee must also mobilize to cooperate in arresting people, cooperating in investigations, and cooperating in imprisonment; the courts must conduct trials...
Very busy.
Ossena and Jason Morgan aren't much better.
The relevant cooperating work must be done; the relevant follow-up work is also more important.
It is true that the anti-counterrevolutionary campaign eliminated corruption, but it also inevitably caused political instability, which was bound to affect production and development in various places.
What they both need to do is to prevent or minimize the occurrence of such situations.
The two chatted for a long time, and the main content was how Jason Morgan should ensure political stability after returning and how to implement the plans that he had previously reported to the Governor.
Ossenaar spoke to him face to face and told him many of her thoughts.
Morgan listened carefully.
Although he was the leader of the Beiqinggu Province, Ossena was his direct superior, and it was natural for her to guide him in his work.
When the provincial government was first established, Ossena went to Beigu City every few days. The entire provincial government framework was built with the help of this female prime minister, who also personally inspected several farms.
This female Prime Minister was originally from the Qinggu area and was very familiar with that land.
Even the plans that Jason Morgan had talked about in front of Governor Gu were not thought up by him alone. The Prime Minister helped a lot.
In Ossena's office, after finishing the business, Morgan also said sincerely: "I really appreciate the support of the Prime Minister this time. Without you, I would definitely not be able to pass this level."
Ossena waved her hands and said, "The governor actually has no intention of removing you. He understands your difficulties and can see your outstanding work results in Beiqing Valley. The proliferation of corruption is indeed your responsibility and your stain, but it will not completely cover up your abilities and achievements."
At this point, she paused, and continued, "However, since this is a stain, we cannot leave it alone. Although the Governor did not mention it specifically, I have decided to downgrade your rank from C2 to C1; you will not be promoted within one year; your position as provincial chief will be abolished and you will be downgraded to acting chief for a period of one year. After one year, I will look at the situation in Beiqing Valley and decide whether to transfer you back to your official position. Do you have any objections to this?"
"No, this is already very light."
Jason Morgan really has no opinion.
These penalties are mostly nominal. Demotion and no promotion within a year will indeed have a significant impact on his personal treatment, but there will be no substantial change in his position.
Although he was demoted from provincial head to acting head, he still holds this position and has not been sidelined. He still has the actual power, so it does not hinder him from doing his work.
If you have made achievements in the future, you will still be promoted or skip grades.
If he fails to achieve results, or even encounters more ridiculous situations... then he can't blame anyone, he can only say that he did not seize the opportunity.
Seeing that Morgan fully understood what she meant, Ossena nodded in satisfaction. She said, "Then keep going. Both the Governor and I are still hoping that you can continue to advance our cause in Beiqing Valley. Don't let us down."
"I will definitely fulfill my mission. I will return to Chatan City later. I will not fall behind in the related production and development work. I promise you."
"Okay. But if you want to go back, you don't have to be so anxious. Stay and accompany a guest with me to visit the workshop in Weixing City. After the guest finishes the visit, he should go to the Qinggu area to have a look. I won't go then, so you can continue to accompany him."
"Guests...inspecting?" Jason Morgan felt a little strange.
The identity of the visitor must be extraordinary, as the Prime Minister could address him as a guest so carefully.
There may be no one in the entire Angry Owl Star who is qualified to be called like this.
He said cautiously: "Can I ask in advance who the so-called guest is?"
"Of course, it's not something that's particularly confidential... The Governor-General's mother is coming to the Wrathful Owl Star."
"The Governor's...mother?"
Jason Morgan seemed very confused, as if he was wondering, does the Governor also have a mother?
Of course, as long as you are a human being, you have a mother.
The main reason he was confused was that he had never heard of relevant information in the past. He only knew that the Governor-General came from outer space and was a ruler appointed by the Imperial Star Region Government. He did not know much about the Governor-General's past and history, and he had never thought that one day he would be asked to accompany the Governor-General's mother to inspect the working conditions of the planet.
What kind of person is the great mother who raised a governor with such great talent and strategy?
What should I say then?
How can we show the style of the Angry Owl people so as not to be looked down upon by alien visitors?
What Ossena mentioned made Morgan inexplicably anxious.
…
While Gu Hang was listening to the report, Ms. Wang Qi's fleet had already arrived in the orbit of the Angry Owl Star.
As one of the important leaders of the Gu family, Ms. Wang Qi still had to do some diplomacy. Her son happened to say that the troops accompanying her to the Black Arrow Star were gathering, and her time was not very tight, so she met with the two Imperial Navy officers on the starship first.
Especially to see Ye Lixia.
The operation of the Fofana family was reliable. After half a year of fermentation, Ye Lixia, the rising star of the navy, had also gained a reputation. With a reliable enough record, she not only secured her position as one of the seven captains of the Pegasus Fleet, which she had been forcibly promoted to, but her reputation began to spread throughout the region and even the entire Eastern Universe.
She was originally the focus of the Fofana family's training, otherwise, she would not have been promoted to the position of Commodore Captain at such a young age. And now that she has made a name for herself and has achieved solid results, her position in the Fofana family is even more important.
After all, in the past, if the family was dissatisfied with her or she did something wrong, they could still remove her; now, her name is attached to the Imperial Navy Department, it will not be so easy to replace her.
Will not change either.
The reason why the Fofana family was able to become a naval family is because their ancestor four generations ago produced a vice admiral, right?
It is possible for Ye Lishia to break through this limit.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will be an iconic figure of the Fofana family and is destined to be the leader of the next generation.
Such people are certainly worth making friends with.
We can even consider a marriage... If it's Ye Licia, the quality of the offspring should be pretty good, right?
Wang Qi didn’t think there was anything wrong with thinking this way.
As an old mother, isn't it natural for me to think about these things?
However, there is no need to be so anxious.
Ms. Wang Qi still handled her role as an elder very well. As a parent and friend, she chatted with the female brigadier general about past events on Feiyi Star.
Something like 'When I came, your mother asked me to bring you some things';
'There is another one, it is a gift from your aunt, don't refuse it, no matter how precious it is, it cannot compare to the friendship between our two families.';
"You and Gu Hang are both young people of the same generation, and you work together. In addition to your regular work, you should also interact more often."
'You haven't been to the ground yet? How does Xiaohang do things! That wooden man is sometimes stupid, please be more tolerant.'
Such words come one after another.
All in all, the communication between the two was quite enjoyable.
After spending a "wonderful" day with Ye Licia, on the second day, Ms. Wang Qi boarded the landing spacecraft and came to the ground.
The hatch of the spaceship opened and she walked out confidently. She was wearing a smart and dignified dress, which made her look noble and majestic.
But when she saw the young man standing more than ten meters outside the cabin door, waiting with his head held high, her steps couldn't help but pause for a moment.
That was her son whom she hadn't seen for almost two years.
There was still such familiarity between her eyebrows and eyes. Her face, which inherited the good qualities of both her and her late husband, looked very handsome.
But the feeling of weakness and being a punching bag from the past is gone, and the resentment that always lingered in his expression in the past few years has also dissipated.
Instead, there is a confident, high-spirited, peaceful and restrained young man.
Looking more closely, one can even sense a calm majesty emanating from him.
In terms of temperament, it is completely different from her previous impression.
Is this my son?
Wang Qi was a little dazed.
