Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 715 Economic Reform
Perfect's organizational and coordination abilities are inhuman.

At least in the eyes of the cabinet and other officials, she was an inhuman being.

Because she really completed the structural adjustment of the imperial government in a very short period of time, established the Anti-Corruption Committee and the Integration Department, and made them operate efficiently from the beginning.

For the imperial government, setting up two new departments and making them operate efficiently was an extremely difficult task in itself, which required the imperial government to spend a lot of time on preparation and coordination.

Only then would it be possible to form two departments whose efficiency simply did not meet Perfecto's requirements and standards, and enable them to function properly without infringing on the interests of the various factions.

But these simply do not exist for Perfect, so she will not spend a long time preparing, coordinating and balancing the interests and conflicts among various factions.

She is now the regent of the empire, holding power and, more importantly, military force.

When she is willing to reason, others had better listen, because if you don't listen, don't blame her for arguing with you about physics.

It was for this reason that when the Integration Department began to review the flying battleship project according to Perfectot's wishes and completely cut many of the problematic projects and started over, they could only endure it temporarily even if the interests of some factions were harmed.

These cancelled projects were not actually wasted. Perfect made adjustments to them based on their circumstances, ensuring that these projects, in which the empire had invested real money, could at least play some role, rather than simply wasting resources.

And this is precisely the key reason why all factions acquiesce that Perfect is inhuman. She really completed the adjustment of these projects in a short period of time, enabling them to play their due role while ensuring the interests of each faction to a certain extent.

As for each faction, they certainly know that duplicate construction and tug-of-war among various forces will have a huge impact on the progress of the project and will also cause a waste of resources.

But for each force, the key is to get more on their own plate.

As for how much impact the empire would suffer in this process and how much impact the flying battleship project would suffer, they completely ignored it.

In other words, they will also take into account national interests, but the premise for doing so is that their own interests have been met.

When the interests of their own faction are not met, they will not care so much.

And Perfectoct's approach is closer to redistributing benefits. Although some factions will get less and some will get more, at least there will still be something for each faction.

So they just accepted this point, even if there was some loss of interests, it was still within an acceptable range.

After all, in the eyes of various factions, Perfecto has already controlled the imperial government. All she has to do is to grab more benefits for her own faction. She can completely suppress the opposition of other factions by force, or even plunder the benefits from them.

But Perfect used his inhuman coordination and organizational abilities to redistribute part of the benefits, thereby making all parties reach obedience in another way.

This kind of political tactic is already very brilliant. Although it sounds easy, it is not easy for most rulers to do it.

After all, if you want to balance the interests between various factions, it is really impossible to do it without some means and abilities.

Perfect did not seize power as soon as she came to power. Although she could have done so, Perfect, who extremely hated trivial matters and government affairs, still gave the cabinet great authority and threw almost all daily government affairs to the cabinet.

This meant that although she had secured her title as regent and did control the imperial government through the Anti-Corruption Committee and the Integration Department, she herself did not need to handle a large amount of government affairs.

These have all been handled by the Cabinet and the Integration Department. Unless there is something important that requires Perfecto to handle it personally, it will not be brought to her.

After sorting out these "people" issues, Perfect can finally devote her energy to the things she really cares about.

After Perfecto personally invested in scientific research and development, the Imperial Academy of Sciences made breakthroughs in several key technologies that had been stuck in the past. After all, she was really good at cheating and used her "omniscience" to open up all technical links.

The Victorian Empire itself was at a critical juncture of technological explosion due to the First Industrial Revolution.

Previously, due to the impact of the doomsday disaster, a large amount of resources and manpower had to be invested in other more critical projects, which affected technological development.

Now that Perfect has adjusted the direction of the empire's resource investment, new technologies have naturally emerged.

As a result, a large number of new technologies emerged like a blowout during this period, and under the overall planning and coordination of Perfecto, they were quickly applied to the places where they were most needed, allowing the entire empire to enjoy the benefits of technological progress in a short period of time and produce rapid changes.

This may indeed not feel real at first, but as new technologies are used more and more and their impact becomes greater and greater, more and more people have indeed felt the changes brought about by technological development, causing many people to exclaim that the good days are back!
Ordinary people may not feel it so deeply, but the factories are receiving more orders, paying more wages and bonuses, the money in their pockets is getting thicker, the goods and commodities on the market are more abundant than before, and people are able to eat meat once every two or three days instead of once a week. These are the most real good days.

Under such circumstances, naturally, the public's support for Perfecto has soared, and even the support rate for this cabinet has continued to rise.

In just half a year, many people even felt that the days seemed to have returned to the most prosperous period of the empire, and the North seemed to have become similar to the Langton of the past.

This change is undoubtedly amazing. You have to know that the prosperity of Langdon was built on massive resources after the empire conquered colonies all over the world, but the North does not have so many resources.

Although the empire had re-suppressed the colonies and made them submit to the empire again, the colonies were also affected by the doomsday winter. After suffering severe damage, material production decreased, people's livelihood declined, and there was no oil to be exploited.

Coupled with the impact of severe cold on transportation, even if the colonies had resources, it was difficult to transport them to the North. As a result, although the Empire did regain the colonies, they did not bring any positive benefits to the North.

On the contrary, the North also needs to send manpower and resources to provide assistance to the various colonies so that they can cope with the doomsday winter and recover from the doomsday disaster.

After all, colonies are still very important to the empire, and if the colonies can be restored to operation, it will still be of great benefit to the North. So after the situation in the North was back on track, Perfect sent out an airship fleet to provide technical and economic assistance to the colonies.

Under such circumstances, she was still able to make ordinary people in the North feel that their lives were getting better. This has to be said to be a very amazing achievement, and it also makes people wonder what kind of amazing achievements Perfect has made.

This further enhanced Perfecto's reputation, and in addition to being a genius and a tyrant, he gained a reputation as a virtuous man.

There were even people who compared her with famous kings in history, and finally concluded that the ancient kings were not half as good as the Regent!
As a result, some people in Beloberg have spontaneously petitioned to erect a statue for Perfecto to commemorate the kindness she has brought to the people.

After this matter was reported to the cabinet, the cabinet was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Although they were surprised by the people's reaction, they did not dare to refuse the people's request. They were just not sure what Perfect himself thought about it.

After all, if Perfectocte doesn't like being worshipped like this, then it would be somewhat offensive for them to build a statue.

However, after consulting Perfectok and obtaining his tacit approval, the statue of Beloberg was successfully erected.

"This statue is a bit exaggerated. I'm not that tall." This was the only comment made by Perfectot after he learned that his statue had been completed and saw the life-size statue with his own eyes.

Compared to the statues erected by the people for him, Perfect was more concerned about the flying battleship that had finally begun construction in the shipyard.

Nearly a year of preliminary preparations were spent, and now most of the supporting projects of the flying battleship have been put into production, and there are no major problems in building the main part of the flying battleship.

As for more detailed supporting facilities, it will still take time for the project to be implemented.

However, even so, the progress of the flying battleship project still had some deviations and was slower than Perfectoct expected.

The main reason was that during the time when she resigned, there were idiots in the cabinet who completely disrupted her layout and plans, causing huge delays in the project progress.

After she ascended the throne of regent and began to take charge of the empire's power, although she vigorously carried out reforms, which enabled the flying battleship program, which had been severely affected, to catch up, the progress of the program still failed to reach the level that Perfectoct had expected.

This also made Perfect pay special attention to the construction of the flying battleship. Not only did she go into the factory to supervise the construction and ensure that the construction progress was in line with her plan, but she was also able to solve related problems that might arise in a timely manner.

"Chief Engineer, about 5.7% of the plates sent by the foundry have quality problems." An engineer reported to Perfect who was looking at the drawings: "The delivery from the leather factory has been delayed again. This is the third time this quarter."

"Put the plates without problems into the warehouse, and send the ones with quality problems back for redoing." Perfect didn't even raise his head, still lying on the workbench studying the drawings: "Notify the Anti-Corruption Committee and ask them to investigate the foundry and the leather factory, and find out what caused these problems without affecting the operation of the two factories."

"Yes, Chief Engineer, I'll go right away." The engineer nodded, and then disappeared in a flash.

Perfect still didn't look up, still studying the drawing in front of him.

The construction of the flying battleship has just started, and the coordination between various departments still needs to be fine-tuned. In addition, there are always some errors between the actual construction and the design drawings. Perfect has a lot to do.

However, compared to handling government affairs, Perfect is not actually averse to this kind of busyness.

Because everything she does will eventually be reflected in the construction progress of the flying battleship.

The visible achievements and progress were so inspiring that Perfectcot worked so hard that he almost forgot to eat and sleep.

If the old housekeeper had not insisted that Perfectcot set up a program in Befa to remind her to eat and sleep on time, I'm afraid Perfectcot would really be working without eating or sleeping.

As the person in charge of the entire flying battleship project and the most powerful person in the empire, Perfect is so involved. One can imagine the state of the industries and factories related to the entire flying battleship project.

Take the foundry as an example. Once the construction of the flying battleship began, they were supplying plates to the shipyard.

However, at the beginning, the boards with quality problems accounted for almost 30% of all boards, and at one point even reached 32.7%. On average, one out of every three boards had quality problems.

Although it is not a serious quality problem that makes it completely unusable, it still shows that there are big problems with the foundry's work and there are many areas that can be improved.

Now, the proportion of panels with quality problems has dropped to 5.7%, almost a fraction of its original level, and all this was improved just in the last quarter.

Although Perfect helped improve the production process and added quality inspection procedures, it can still be seen that Perfect's "volume" had a huge impact on the entire plan.

When your boss's boss's boss is working day and night, you'd better work just as hard if you don't want to die.

Although Perfect did not require everyone to work with the same attitude as herself, no one dared to be careless. After all, she was the regent of the empire and could really decide the life and death of a person or even a group of people with just a word.

Especially the investigators from the Anti-Corruption Commission, they actually arrested those who were corrupt and slacking off at work after the meeting and sent them to trial.

In the North, the perception that dereliction of duty and failure to work seriously is a crime has been deeply rooted in people's minds, especially the first case of sentencing for slacking off, which has further exacerbated the popularity of this perception.

This not only slightly improved the production efficiency of the entire North, but also greatly increased the factory's yield rate, which was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks to this, the construction of the flying battleship itself was faster than the expected project progress, which made Perfectot very satisfied.
