Chapter 1731 New appointment, Lawrence's consciousness
August 6, 838 Nise calendar.
On the east side of Linshui Village Altar Square, the Government Affairs Office.
Xia Duo rarely attended a regular meeting of territorial officials. Just yesterday, at this time, Horn from Jilan Tower once again summoned candidates for the blood sequencing project.
Regarding this Xia Duo, he had already handed it over to the Academy for selection before Midsummer Festival. There were four people in total, and they were all ready when he asked yesterday.
In addition, the person whom Aiwa was asked to choose to take to the Severington office was also ready. The reason why Shado hadn't left yet was because of this regular meeting.
Although he can make decisions on all territorial personnel matters at a single word, he will still put some important personnel appointments at regular meetings for everyone to discuss together.
At this regular meeting, Chateau officially appointed Lawrence as the chief officer of the Territory's Department of Culture and Education. Previously, the Department of Culture and Education had always been led by Leiden, and Lawrence was more of a manager.
But the assessment has been going on for so long. Xia Duo is very satisfied with Lawrence's work attitude and results. It is reasonable to mention him. After all, as the territorial consul, Leiden cannot always be tied up by the Ministry of Culture and Education.
.
"What do you think about the appointment of Lawrence as the territory's Minister of Culture and Education?"
This was the first time that Xia Duo raised the concept of "minister" at a regular meeting of territorial officials. It was considered a new Nese language word coined by him.
However, no one present was surprised. After all, before today's meeting, Leiden had already learned new words from them. In addition, it was also a fact that everyone knew that Lawrence was about to go to the Akora Kingdom for further study.
.
"I agree." Jeff from the Development Department was the first to express his opinion.
As a department chief who is always worried about being replaced by his capable subordinates, whenever he encounters such an opportunity to gain favor in front of his lords and colleagues, he will be the first to stand up.
He knew very well that the various systems in the territory were now many times stricter than in the past. Although he was not as capable as his subordinate Clark, as long as he did not make mistakes and did not provoke public anger, who would deliberately target him?
No matter how capable Clark is, the person who usually comes into contact with the chief officials of various departments in the territory is not Clark, but himself. Although the laws and systems of the territory have tried to avoid the influence of human relationships as much as possible, people are not machines after all, and they will still be affected.
It is a foregone conclusion that Lawrence will take the throne this time. Let alone him, even Leiden, as the consul, cannot temporarily go back on his word, so what is there to worry about?
Jeff even praised Lawrence a little after expressing his opinion, "Everyone can see the work of the Ministry of Culture and Education during this period. If it were any other person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be better than Lawrence."
"I agree."
Being overtaken by Jeff, Jiaco was not far behind and immediately stood up to express his position. In fact, most people in the conference room today looked at Lawrence. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they felt a little inferior in their hearts.
Now that the other party has been reused by the lord, this has further intensified this idea, and may also be mixed with some sense of crisis that they may be replaced by other better people, making them unknowingly and subconsciously show their favor to Lawrence.
Xia Duo sat in the chief position, so he could clearly see the subtle emotions below. He was not surprised that Lawrence could smoothly integrate into the territorial system, but the fact that the other party could be so "popular" made Xia Duo have some thoughts in his mind.
It's not too dark, but it still makes me wary.
Lawrence is undoubtedly a powerful spellcaster, not to mention the bard who is best at touching people's hearts. Perhaps Lawrence has not used spells on ordinary people in the territory during his work, but what about others?
Gu Zhen
Relevant protection mechanisms must be improved!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo glanced at Jay who was nervous at the end of the conference table. Young people should take more responsibility!
…
Soon, everyone voted, and Lawrence officially became the Minister of Culture and Education of the territory. Chateau congratulated him, and then announced that Lawrence would be sent to the Kingdom of Akaula for artistic exchange.
Although it is indeed "further study" in essence, it is in the name of "exchange". That is to say, Xia Duo once saved the life of King Akora. Otherwise, I am afraid that no one else would be able to get such a formal award easily.
"Exchange" opportunities.
This applies to small countries, let alone big countries. Human beings can perform, but it is almost impossible to communicate with other similar artists.
There is no doubt that Xia Duo's decision immediately received unanimous support and approval from everyone.
Lawrence himself stood up even more excitedly and said with a trembling voice:
"For a long time, elves have always held various prejudices against humans. Fair communication, especially in the field of art, is extremely rare. Lawrence will definitely live up to adults' expectations."
Although he is a performer, Lawrence's speech is completely from the heart. As a bard, he has undoubtedly been to the elven kingdom, and has even received some preferential treatment far beyond that of ordinary mages.
But the kind of preferential treatment from the elves is not equal to him, it is more like condescending charity, as if he is deliberately promoting a human artist who has worked hard to learn from the elves, so as to prove how great the elven art is!
Although he was very dissatisfied, Lawrence did not deny that he was indeed influenced too much by the elves.
It wasn't until he came to Daxia Territory and saw the vibrant life of ordinary people that was completely different from other places that he realized where the artistic outlet he had always wanted to find was!
This is also the main reason why he agreed to stay in Daxia Territory.
Although the bards who came to the Great Xia Territory with him are still in the Great Xia Territory, they still regard themselves as passers-by. They will leave immediately when the original emotion temporarily aroused in their hearts dissipates.
, go to the next place and continue the pursuit.
But now Lawrence already knows that being accidentally aroused by the outside world will not lead him to the true palace of art. Instead, it will swallow up his true human emotions bit by bit and become a slave to his emotions.
Now he has found the true source of original emotion, not from the outside world, but from the truest heart.
But the heart alone is empty, and it needs to be filled with the life he truly loves. In this way, the emotions continue to emerge, and the door to the real palace of art opens for him.
Lawrence didn't know how much the Lord had paid for this fair exchange, but he knew that he must not waste this opportunity.
…
Next, the meeting process was handed over to Leiden. The content was generally the same as before, that is, each department reported on its work in the recent period and dealt with some cross-department coordination issues.
At this regular meeting, Xia Duo was present in person, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Most of the topics were completed in a short time.
After all, this regular meeting is not held once a year, but every five or six days. In many cases, the regular meeting is used as a place to finalize relevant decisions, rather than to discuss or deliberate.
