Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Because I feel angry when I see someone!

"Sir Huangcao, if you have any requests, please let my subordinates inform me. As long as they are reasonable, I will definitely comply."

Tracy's tone was almost gnashing of teeth, but he was helpless.

Huang Cao is not a petty person. If Theresa was his sister, he would also find it difficult to break down.

It’s better to give my brother-in-law some time to cool down, and then go to the construction site to use stones to vent his resentment.

After Tracy left, the atmosphere at the scene became noticeably more lively.

After all, every one of the people present was a traitor.

"Next, I need everyone to cooperate with my national transformation plan to make Kazdel a truly modern country."

In response to this, Huangcao proposed a top-down transformation plan.

The development of this country can only rely on strong men to solve all kinds of problems, and we cannot expect reforms from the bottom up.

Therefore, Huangcao decided to use the capital of Kazdel as the starting point and rely on the influence of the royal courts to implement all the decrees.

"Please listen to me and I will explain in detail how to do it."

"Completely abolish Kazdel's feudal system, and at the same time completely destroy the existing official selection and appointment system. In other words, fire them all and conduct a unified examination."

"The unified exam is individually designed. I estimate that only one or two of the thousands of mid-level or senior officials in Kazdel will be able to pass my exam, or perhaps even no one."

"Will this put Kazdel in a manpower shortage?"

Ducare asked.

"My hunch is that they won't. After all, based on my observations, the Sarkaz living in Kazdel are quite resilient. It can be said that the administrative structure you established earlier, while somewhat useful, is unlikely to be truly effective."

Theresa pouted, but didn't rush to refute.

"Although Kazdel is much more civilized today than it was a hundred years ago, the fundamental environment of feudal aristocracy's self-governance has not changed."

"Rather than saying that Theresa followed my method and established officials to handle various tasks, it would be more accurate to say that these officials were tax collectors."

"Although they can collect taxes, that's only as good as being able to collect them. Expecting them to manage the situation is basically impossible."

Theresa touched her chin. "But Ducare collects a lot of taxes. Without proper management, it would be impossible to collect so much money."

Huang Cao asked, "But compared to your investment in these areas, how much can the taxes collected be worth?"

"Dukare showed me the national financial statements. Kazdel's economic situation has actually never been very optimistic. It's been impossible to build a healthy internal economic circulation system. It all depends on the size of the pie, and I made this pie decades ago."

In other words, Xiao Te used the resources of Utopia to provide generous benefits to local lords, and then the local lords used part of the funds for construction, and the taxes collected were not enough to cover the construction funds given to them by the central government.

As for the vast majority of resources, if nothing unexpected happens, they will all go into the pockets of the local big families.

As for why Kazdel's finances have always been running well and can even provide all citizens with enough food?

Of course, it was because Mr. Huang was giving Kazdel a transfusion, forcing the country's total economic output to a level that did not belong to it.

"But it's not completely useless. At least Theresa, you're willing to share the cake, and you're dividing it well."

The total amount of cake he got was much better than that of the monarchs of most countries on this earth, because most nobles not only couldn't make cakes, they couldn't even divide them.

At least Theresa didn't keep all the money stuck in her own little treasury.

Although the feudal lords below were making a lot of money, the country's infrastructure and basic education were not far behind.

Although it would be better if you don't eat it.

The nobles of Kazdel do listen to the Demon King's orders to a certain extent, at least they don't treat the decrees as a piece of paper to wipe their butts.

"But the system just isn't working. We can't allow these parasites to continue wasting national resources."

If this money had been put into Casimir, the entire country would have been electrified by now.

But now Kazdel has only half a foot in the steam society, and even building a mobile city requires magic.

It’s not that magic can’t be used, but magic is ultimately something that only a few people can use skillfully.

Unless drastic reforms are carried out, it will be impossible to adapt to the rapidly developing society.

"Bring the soldiers and knock on the doors of these nobles one by one. It's time to let them know who is the master of this country."

Theresa also agreed with her husband's proposal.

"If there is resistance, if the resistance is not fierce, we can arrest them and reform them. If there is strong resistance, my suggestion is to directly destroy them humanely."

Cleaning out the termites is an indispensable part of national development. Theresa's domestic methods have always been a bit too gentle.

In theory, Da Te should be his sister's spearhead, but he only stays in the military camp.

Theresa has never been able to make a cruel decision for her people.

She could indeed kill the invading foreign enemies with a single blow, but she really couldn't do that to the Sarkaz in her own country, especially those who didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

"Theresa... In fact, in the spirit of Utopia, enemies are ever-changing. These parasites that slow down national development and drain other people's survival resources will harm even more people in the future if we don't deal with them."

"These insects are no longer our compatriots. How can we possibly build a good country by being with them?"

At the same time, Huang Cao also glanced at Dukare and Niezile who were watching the show next to them.

Huang Cao: What are you looking at? Especially you, Ducarei. If it weren't for me and Lamaren, you would also be the target of criticism!

Regarding this point, Kitten Egg Roll really has nothing to say.

If you are lazy for a few years, people will talk about you for the rest of your life.

"This operation is called Operation Pest Control and will officially begin tomorrow morning. The cleanup troops will spread out from the capital, but the main force of the operation cannot be Utopia."

"Utopia's staff will serve as assistants in this operation, assisting Kazdel's army in the cleanup."

This is also to avoid causing panic.

By now, everyone in Kazdel probably knows that a defense battle is breaking out in the capital, but the war has only just ended a few days ago, so the speed of news spreading is not that fast.

Therefore, many Sarkaz were not sure whether the war was going well, and they were not even sure what kind of country Utopia was.

If an unidentified person is suddenly put in charge of the region, it will definitely cause unnecessary unrest later.

The next day, the plan officially began.

The first place to begin reform was the capital of Kazdel.

While retaining Theresa's title and position as Demon Lord, Huang Cao began to modernize all aspects of the country's administrative structure.

All government employees in the capital area were fired and, at the call of the devil, entered the Utopian capital to study.

Those who pass the exam can return to their original positions and be reinstated.

During his absence, Utopia will be responsible for all administrative work in the capital of Kazdel, but the Demon King also has the power to mobilize all staff.

This is not an empty statement.

Is it necessary for an old couple who have been together for decades to worry about this?

The people of Utopia also know this, so they will cooperate with Theresa's orders wholeheartedly.

But now Xiao Te is also studying, and she also wants to see what kind of waves this group of young people can create in Kazdel.

So in the next few days, Theresa finally understood what a real state machine was.

In particular, I deeply understood the words of the Utopia officials:

There is no place for the weak in the utopian officialdom!

Chapter 284: Reform of Kazdel's army.

What is the power of civilization?

Dukare didn't understand the weight of the word "civilization" before, but now he understands.

Officials from Utopia have no desire for wealth, only a belief in making achievements and an extreme pursuit of internal circulation.

Let’s put it this way, the former Kazdel officer was being driven around one minute and then being grabbed and thrown into a truck the next.

As soon as Kazdel's staff left their posts, Utopia officials took over.

And the latter started working without any delay, without even the need for handover.

Ducare asked curiously: Aren’t you tired of doing this?

However, the Utopia official said: Mr. Ducare, this intensity of work is considered a vacation for us.

"In fact, there are very few positions in our country, but the salary and work intensity are very high. Moreover, I am not a formal employee now. I just passed the written test not long ago and am now completing my practical assessment."

Because Utopia's administrative system is too streamlined, there are no redundant positions to be assigned to.

Therefore, every time a place was conquered, Mr. Huang would send a group of interns who had just passed the score assessment to manage it.

If you manage well, you can get extra practical points. If you don’t manage well, then don’t be a teacher and you will not pass the exam.

At the same time, if you fail the written test, you will not be qualified for practice.

Unless those who fail can write down the reasons for participating in the practice and get Mr. Huang's approval, they will be eligible for promotion.

Everyone has such an opportunity, but not everyone has such ability.

Ducare was dumbfounded when he heard about Utopia's cruel selection mechanism.

Even if he were to select employees for the finance department, not long ago, they only needed to meet three conditions to be hired:

Ability to count and read, as well as loyalty.

However, the Utopia intern who took over his job in the finance department showed amazing business capabilities.

His calculation speed was ten times faster than that of his previous employees. The data that originally took the entire department a day to compile could now be completed by just one person.

This is why Utopian officials do not need to be handed over.

Because a true expert can determine the origin of this string of data based on just a few words, not to mention there are some annotations on it.

For the first time, Ducare felt that his defeat was worthwhile.

……

a few days later.

Utopian administrators and military personnel sprang up everywhere like mushrooms after rain.

Neczrei's cleanup army was unstoppable and soon opened up breakthroughs across Kazdel.

"As Mr. Huang predicted, these parasites who are lying on the country's backs will definitely not be willing to have their privileges taken away."

The cleanup lasted seven days.

During this period, Niecile's army encountered several stubborn resistance forces.

But they are just a mob.

But the key point is that most of the equipment used by these rebels are foreign styles.

These people must have foreign support.

Fortunately, Mr. Huang discovered it quickly enough and prevented these people from becoming powerful.

"Decapitate all the leaders of the resistance army."

Nieczrei acted decisively and sent all the Sarkaz who participated in opposing the new policy to the construction site to do plastering.

All military affairs are handled by Utopia staff, and the efficiency of information and order execution has been unprecedentedly improved. At the same time, various distribution systems in the army have also been improved.

"Lord Neczrei, please reduce the salaries of those mid-level officers in the army. To ensure combat effectiveness, we must ensure that non-commissioned officers and soldiers stand on the same front."

The Utopian official, who had been in the army for almost a week and witnessed several small-scale encounters, put forward his own views at this time.

In fact, the reforms of our lord are not only aimed at the administrative system of Kazdel, but also at the military.

For example, in an encounter a few days ago, the rebels displayed an unusual guerrilla strategy, which almost caused Niezilei to suffer losses.

This is totally not the military quality that those nobles who live a life of idleness and waiting for death can display.

If nothing unexpected happens, the rebels must have the support of other countries.

But these are minor issues. The bigger issue now is that the military cannot become a stain on the country's imperfections.

Utopian officials found Nezrei at night.

"Mr. Neczrei, you should have noticed the problems with Kazdel's army. The transmission of orders seems to be a bit slow, and the soldiers' enthusiasm for fighting is not very strong."
