Chapter 329 "Trying the Tiger to Leave the Mountain"
"Xiao Zhang, there is no one else here, so don't be humble with me. I believe that my eyes will not see the wrong person." Consul Ji seemed very confident.
"Uncle Ji, you know that I don't have any experience in politics. I have to learn everything from scratch, let alone political policies. Now I can't even see the basic daily life of a consul."
Zhang Hao spread his hands.
Archon Ji quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, the daily work of an archon is not as complicated as you think. You don't need to worry about it. There will be relevant personnel to help you arrange it. You just need to follow the steps."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly, then changed the topic:
"Uncle Ji, since we are talking about political policy, can you give me some advice? After all, it is a very important matter, and I am always unsure. I am afraid that my good intentions will lead to bad things."
Consul Ji immediately shook his head: "Everyone's governing style is different, and the focus of work at each stage is also different. I'm afraid I can't give you much advice in this regard."
"Uncle Ji, I am different from others. For a political novice like me, what I need most is the help of my predecessor. If the law allows, I even hope that you can serve as the executive president. In this way, I can feel a lot more relaxed.
." Zhang Hao said "sincerely".
"You also know that the Constitution does not allow it?" Consul Ji said angrily, "Besides, the past ten years have been really exhausting and I can't do it anymore."
To be honest, this is true.
Since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, disaster relief and reconstruction work alone have consumed countless official efforts. In addition, there are also the survival issues of billions of people. This kind of huge pressure is simply unprecedented.
Zhang Hao spread his hands and said, "Uncle Ji, since you chose me as your successor, you should be responsible to the end. I really want to hear your advice."
"What you said seems to make sense!" Consul Ji nodded, "Okay, then I will just say a few points, hoping to inspire you."
"Please speak slowly, I will take note of it."
Zhang Hao immediately took out his notebook from his pocket.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Who told me to meet someone unkindly?"
Archon Ji laughed and cursed.
Zhang Hao opened the notebook and unscrewed the pen: "Uncle Ji, let's get started!"
Archon Ji took a sip of tea, organized his speech, and slowly said: "I don't need to say more. Since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, the Federation has never faced such a severe crisis.
But fortunately, the most difficult stage has passed. We have rebuilt the industrial chain, saved jobs, maintained social stability, and most importantly, restored food production and avoided a larger humanitarian crisis."
"Pa bang bang..."
Zhang Hao clapped in agreement.
Archon Ji waved his hand and continued: "In addition to the achievements just mentioned, there are also many shortcomings, such as insufficient food production capacity, imbalance of energy supply and demand, and increasingly acute social conflicts..."
Consul Ji mentioned more than a dozen difficulties in succession.
Zhang Hao took notes carefully while echoing: "Uncle Ji, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect the situation to have reached such a serious stage."
"It doesn't matter if I work harder, I'm just afraid of betraying everyone's trust and expectations. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In the past ten years, I haven't slept peacefully for a single day. When I open my eyes every day, the first thing that comes to my mind is whether something happened again.
Already."
"Hearing what you said, I regret being a candidate for the consulship."
Zhang Hao deliberately put on a bitter face.
"It's too late to regret." Consul Ji smiled and shook his head, then hinted: "But don't worry too much. Although I have worked hard in the past ten years, fortunately I have laid the foundation. You only need Xiao Xiao
If you follow the rules, you shouldn't have to work as hard as me."
Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This was the second time he heard the word "Xiao Gui Cao Sui". He heard Minister Li say it once before, and the intention was already very obvious.
"Uncle Ji, with your words, I feel relieved. To be honest, I am usually lazy, and what I fear most is endless work."
"Xiao Zhang, you are too humble. I heard people say that you are also a workaholic, otherwise you wouldn't have achieved what you have today." Consul Ji teased.
Zhang Hao quickly explained: "That was before. In the past two or three years, I only worked half a day on average every day. As for business trips, it was less than once every two months."
"You call it bitter first and then sweet. Just like me now, I can have a good rest after I step back."
Archon Ji chuckled.
"Uncle Ji, it's not time for you to rest yet. To be honest, I don't know what to do here. I need your help to check many things!"
Zhang Hao immediately expressed his stance.
Consul Ji immediately understood what the other party meant, so he smiled and waved his hand: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern, just check things out. If you really encounter a difficult problem here, I can provide some suggestions."
"Uncle Ji, I would like to ask, after you retire, do you plan to stay in Zhucheng? Or go back to your hometown?"
Zhang Hao followed closely and said tentatively.
"I really hope to return to my hometown, but your Aunt Liu can't bear to leave her grandchildren, so she can only live here for her old age." Consul Ji explained casually.
Zhang Hao was immediately "overjoyed": "That's great, so I can come to you often to ask for advice. Let's make an agreement first, and then you don't think it's troublesome for me."
"Welcome, you were nominated by me, and I hope you can quickly get into the role."
Zhang Hao thanked him, and then continued to ask: "Uncle Ji, what we just talked about are some relatively large policy strategies. Are there any specific measures? For example, what should I do first after taking office?"
Archon Ji almost blurted out:
"Speaking of the first thing, I suggest you take a global expedition and try not to miss every region."
"Global expedition?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, there is no "Air Force One" to ride on right now. If we rely solely on passenger ships and trains, this trip will take at least one or two years, which is equivalent to one-third of the term being lost.
Isn't this bullying?
"That's right." Consul Ji nodded solemnly, "The only trip I took since I took office was to sign a peace agreement in the Middle East, and I only stayed there for less than three days.
The reality is that as the federal governor, I have not inspected the major regions for ten years. If I don’t go there for a visit, I’m afraid people’s hearts will disperse.”
"Okay, I always liked running around when I was young, and this time I can take care of both public and private matters."
Zhang Hao bit the bullet and agreed.
In fact, he had been scolding his mother for a long time in his heart. He was indeed an old fox in the political world, and his calculations were so precise that he was not given any chance to refuse.
There are two major benefits for the other party to do this:
On the one hand, I put all the dirty work on myself. In the current environment, global inspection is not an easy task. On the other hand, I can temporarily relieve myself to avoid seizing power as soon as I get there.
By the time I come back from my inspection, my term will only have about three years left. If I delay again, half of my term may be over.
Who will be willing to follow me then?
What a move to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Fortunately, I don't have too many ambitions. If it were anyone else, they would have been embarrassed on the spot.
For a global expedition, according to his own ideas, he could only go to Europa at most. After all, the mainland and Europa are the two main focuses.
As for the place, it doesn't matter at all. You can send the deputy consul to go there on your behalf.
When Archon Ji heard this, he patted the armrest of the sofa excitedly: "Okay, originally this was supposed to be my mission, but I'm not in good health and the medical team has been strongly opposed to it, and it hasn't been possible until today."
"The doctor is right. As a consul, you really cannot risk your own health."
Zhang Hao quickly agreed.
"It's better for you young people. You can go wherever you want. You have much more freedom than an old man like me."
