"Brother, where did you get so many energy crystals?"
In the train's storage layer, Fei Yi followed Chen An and was shocked to see countless energy crystals flying out from the macro universe.
Chen An turned his head to look at her, his two lovely eyes sparkling with stars and full of desire.
"I collected this in the Divine Realm. There will be more in the future. Feel free to take any you like."
With the heterogeneous beads, Chen An can go to any area in the Divine Realm where the coordinates are recorded. He can collect some resources that he could not take away before at any time, but now is not the time.
Fei Yi hugged Chen An's arm and said happily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take too much?"
Chen An: "You are the Minister of Finance, so you must know your limits. Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
"Hehe, I've always wanted to pass the Primary Extraordinary Welfare Act, but many people disagreed, so it never passed in Parliament."
Judging from the name, this bill is aimed at extraordinary people below the Star Walkers.
Chen An asked her to explain clearly.
"Primary Transcendents refer to Ascenders. They are at the bottom of the Transcendent discrimination chain, with very little to offer and low pay. Brother should remember that our Star Country's welfare comes from trains, and welfare is positively correlated with achievement."
Chen An raised his eyebrows: "That's right. The more you contribute, the greater your achievements will be, and your benefits will naturally increase. This is basic logic."
Fei Yi said, "But the problem is that Xingguo is currently in a stable state. There has been no war in a hundred thousand years. The previous extraordinary people are living off their past achievements, and the new extraordinary people have no room for advancement. This situation will cause many problems."
"New extraordinary beings? Oh, you mean the new humans."
Chen An immediately took it seriously.
He originally formulated many policies in order to attract better new recruits, but plans could not keep up with changes, and the differences in the overall environment made the policies outdated.
"Fuyao, do you have a detailed analysis?"
[There's nothing wrong with the treatment of the new humans, but when they leave the welfare zone and enter normal society, they often suffer much worse than other extraordinary people. The difference here doesn't refer to survival, but to powerful opportunities.]
Our country has too many old passengers, and they have almost blocked all channels for upward mobility. In other words, our social classes are solidified.
Chen An had thought about this kind of problem before, but at that time the external threats were too great, and these internal problems could be transformed outward.
However, with one hundred thousand years of continuous development, internal problems became increasingly serious.
"Ask Chu Xiao and Zhu Die if they have noticed this problem and what the solution is."
Waited for a while.
Their answer was that the old passengers had formed a huge community of interests around the train, and if they wanted to reform it, they would have to make changes to the underlying system of the train, such as modifying the achievement system and the welfare system.
Chen An has a headache.
Things were more complicated than he thought.
It was just like the interstellar empires he had encountered before, with rigid classes and political systems that could not be changed even by a powerful emperor.
But Chen An has advantages that those empires do not have, absolute control.
He asked Feiyi to find the energy crystal he liked, and he paced along the aisle, analyzing the solution with Fuyao in his mind.
Finally, it was discovered that most situations at this stage could not be changed, and only some local changes could be made.
Because his identity cannot be exposed, he can only rely on parliament.
"For Parliament to function, the Secretariat must be weakened."
At nine o'clock the next day, the Singapore National Congress was held in the conference hall, with 100,000 members present.
Just when everyone thought it was the monthly routine meeting, Chu Xiao came in and broke the bombshell news.
"I will temporarily step down as Secretary General of the Secretariat, and Zhu Die will take over the full position."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
One legislator asked in surprise, "Secretary-General Chu, what happened?"
After serving as Secretary-General for 100,000 years, he suddenly resigned today. This is a earth-shaking event. If it were to be spread, it would cause a sensation throughout the country of Stars.
Chu Xiao didn't answer and gave her seat to Zhu Die.
With hundreds of thousands of eyes looking at her, that woman might become the most powerful ruler in Star Country.
However, Zhu Die's remarks were still shocking.
"The secretariat will no longer recruit new staff and will clarify its responsibilities and powers within the next six months. All departments and local agencies are requested to cooperate actively."
"The Secretariat's 301st Bureau has officially been separated and merged into the military."
"Secretariat Bureau 741 has officially become an independent departmental resource review office, directly reporting to the train conductor."
"Secretariat Bureau 665 has officially been separated and merged into the Ministry of Finance."
…
As the orders were issued one after another, the whole place was filled with astonishment.
The Secretariat is delegating power!
But that doesn't make sense. How can one weaken oneself?
A senior Secretariat official couldn't help but interrupt, asking, "What exactly is going on? Even if changes are necessary, they can't be made so hastily. At least there should be a meeting within the Secretariat."
Zhu Die said calmly: "The train conductor contacted us not long ago. This is his decision."
The three words "train conductor" were like thunder, shocking all the members present.
Ten thousand years is such a long time that many people have almost forgotten what Chen An looks like.
Thinking back on it now, I feel a thrilling sense of fear.
The senior official opened his mouth but had nothing to say, then slowly sat down.
Zhu Die added, "Everyone knows what the Secretariat has become. I know you all have complaints about this, especially the various departments. After the train conductor learned about this, he specifically asked the Secretariat to delegate power and restore the departments to their original state. To be honest, I'm also willing to make changes, otherwise every day would be too tiring."
She smiled slightly, naturally and generously.
After making a simple joke, Zhu Die continued to talk about the subsequent changes, which almost completely cut down the Secretariat.
At the end, Yang Yuan, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but raise his hand: "When will he... come back?"
Zhu Die replied, "It's not time yet. Don't worry, the day the conductor returns will be the day we take off. The Divine Eye people are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the conductor, so there is no need to be too nervous."
These words were like a refreshing rain, bringing great relief to the people in the conference hall.
Especially the bigwigs in the military, their frowns began to relax.
Because in their eyes, as long as the conductor returns, any problem can be solved.
After the atmosphere quieted down a bit, Zhu Die said, "The reforms mentioned above are only partial. We will continue to loosen up the Secretariat and restore its special status. During this period, Secretariat members may apply for transfer or resignation. No later than this date will be accepted. Next, as the sole Secretary-General of the Secretariat, I will read out the appointment of the train conductor."
"He resigned as the Speaker-General of the Parliament and appointed Chu Xiao as the Speaker-General."
The scene was in uproar again.
Someone asked, "Are you sure it was the conductor's order?"
Zhu Die said, "The train conductor said he really doesn't have time to worry about the parliament. His presence actually restricts the parliament's development, so he's delegating power. In addition, Yang Yuan, Stino, and Olesgu were promoted to vice-presidents."
Everyone understood.
Yang Yuan represents the economy, Stino represents technology, and Olesgu represents the military, and the three balance power.
In addition to them, there were many personnel changes. Chen An almost reorganized the top management of the parliament.
