Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The reform of industrialization is ongoing and has achieved many results in the short term. For example, if you look out from Sanssouci Palace and the sky allows you to see the sun, it means that today is Sunday and workers have a holiday. If there are fish in the water in the ditch, , then this place must be cultivated land.

Sanitary issues have become an important issue plaguing Prussia. It is a pity that Berlin will become a garbage dump if things continue like this. August came to power for two years and her achievements in industry are well known, but her handling of sanitation issues It would seem very... helpless.

After all, Prussian industry has just emerged. You can't just stop it, right? After all, I invested by myself, and there are so many shareholders. In this era, coal is burned, and the pollution is so great, so what can be done?

There is an old saying from the ancient mysterious Eastern forces. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, soil will cover them up. If the air pollution is serious, then plant trees and filter the air. If there is too much sewage, let it evaporate. Anyway, the routine is the same, only One point, where should the forestry farm be built?

In March of the first half of this year, August had already asked Albrecht, the Minister of Health and Cabinet Secretary, to handle this matter. The general situation was to ask him to add some green plants to various industrial cities. If you have any other needs, you can ask Tina.

This matter of interfering with the construction of the green belt can be said to have tortured Tina for half a year from the beginning to the end of the year. The situation was beyond her expectation. Of course she had a plan and could start construction immediately, but because Albu Due to Licht, the construction originally expected to start in June was delayed until September.

On March 1860, 3, Tina had just received a new job from August, building a green belt. This was considered part of the infrastructure construction. Although this was the case, according to Prussian civil servant regulations, this kind of thing was not allowed. It is under the control of the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Construction needs to coordinate with the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health must first come up with a plan, and then the Ministry of Construction can implement it.

As a matter of course, Tina invited the cabinet minister into her office.

"Mr. Albrecht, His Highness August has recently made a new construction request. I think you should already know about it."

Albrecht said: "Of course, this is the job of the Minister of Health. There is just a problem. The funds are not sufficient. The original budget was [-] pounds, but I don't think it is enough."

"Oh, how many do you want?"

"Four hundred thousand."

Tina stared into his eyes, "Are you serious? Mr. Albrecht, build a green belt for [-] pounds. If you read the plan I gave you, is Berlin that big? A silver fir like you Tree, right?”

"No, I hope it's a golden fir tree, because I like gold."

"Mr. Albrecht, I'm not kidding you..."

"Oh, Miss Tina, you don't understand this. If His Highness did it himself, it might cost less, but if it was done by you, it would cost more."

"Then I'll ask August to come. I really don't know why planting a few trees costs [-] pounds. Although the government can print money, it can't cost as much as you said to plant a few trees, right?"

Albrecht: "Of course, the price of the tree will not be that expensive. That's just the price of the tree. If you want to plant it, you must first have enough money to hire workers, and then there is the Congress. There are also some companies, and they have to get more or less. If His Highness August comes in person, she has an advantage in authority and can solve the problem quickly. At least in the eyes of all parties, His Highness August We will still work together seriously to save face, but Miss Tina may be a little bit behind, you are the Prime Minister."

Tina said: "Then I will leave this matter to you, can you complete it? I will give you two hundred thousand pounds first, and you have to put the daily bills in my office, and you have to ask Liszt for money. Just say I allow it, remember Mr. Duke, you only have two hundred thousand pounds, if you still need it, please let me see the results first."

Albrecht: "Yes, Prime Minister."

Three months have passed, and there is still no movement in the project. Money is being burned every day. Tina is a little confused. Even if Albrecht is corrupt, you can't just embezzle all [-] yuan. I want to burp. ah?

Tina rushed into the Ministry of Health angrily. Albrecht was sitting on the sofa enjoying afternoon tea. When she saw Tina coming in, she waved to him happily. "Miss Tina, what's the matter? Has Your Highness August come back to live a new life?"

"Albrecht, what kind of plane are you working on recently, and where's the money?"

"I know that the Prime Minister is very anxious, but don't be anxious. There is no point in being anxious. The money has already been spent and the results will be seen soon. This is not something I can do just by saying it."

"Aren't you a cabinet minister? You have been repairing the green strip for three months. Where are the trees? Where are the trash cans? Where is my money?"

Tina was so angry that she was a little incoherent. Albrecht gave her a cup of coffee, "I told you Prime Minister, don't be so hasty. I can meet your request, but not so quickly. I gave the order three months ago. Construction of this kind of thing requires surveying, and you have to ask people from the Ministry of Construction first. Trees cannot be planted where the factory was originally supposed to be built, and of course factories cannot be built where trees were originally supposed to be planted. This must be negotiated first."

"The results of it?"

"The results are out, we need to re-measure." Albrecht shrugged, and Tina's face turned dark after hearing this.

"Didn't you do nothing?"

"You can't say that. At least we got a non-aggression pact."

Tina said, "Isn't that toilet paper? Mr. Albrecht, if you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will clear it!"

Albrecht said, "Toilet paper, not really, but if Miss Tina is willing, you may have to talk to Mr. Lister of the Ministry of Finance. He plans to build a railway in Berlin. After all, I am not a construction worker." The ministry has no right to interfere with that kind of thing, which means that this matter has been detained."

"Ah? Liszt still builds railways? What's wrong with him?"

"You have to go and ask for yourself."

"Okay, come with me! Find Liszt!"

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Tina found Liszt. According to Liszt's plan, he wanted to build a railway connecting various German states, but August refused. It was simple because it was unrealistic. This was indeed the case. First of all, the government still had Putting aside the lack of money, are you serious about this railway that looks like a spider web?

It has already crossed a lot of cultivated land and houses, and it is so grim that the surrounding residents are not allowed to live. There is no such thing as a subway in this era, and the railway design is purely disgusting.

Tina persuaded Liszt to do the soy sauce. Anyway, the Ministry of Education now needs funds, so Liszt was particularly concerned about whether these things were available, so he should go do his business first.

"It's finally over. My lips are almost worn out... What other problems are there now?" Tina asked while lying on the sofa.

"There is also the Ministry of Construction. You have to deal with it a little bit. I have to say that you are worthy of being the Prime Minister. You have solved things that I can't solve in one day. As expected, the power given by His Highness is easy to use."

"what are you saying?"

"There are many types of rights, and there is a huge difference between your power and mine. I was elected as Cabinet Secretary-General through due process. This is my legal power, given by the law, and yours as Prime Minister Power is given by His Highness August, and it is an endowed power. Everyone does not follow your instructions. You are an extension of His Highness August's power, because you are His Highness August's confidant.

And you are the Juncker landlord class. This power is the legal power granted to you by the law. This power belongs to you, so you have nothing to do with His Highness Auguste when you use the power of the Junkers.

Of course there are others, such as Mr. Savigny. As a law professor and the framer of the Prussian Constitution, he has professional power. If Savigny puts forward a relative legal theory at the same time as you, people will be willing to listen to Savigny. Mr. Pooh's, this is the power given to him by professional knowledge.

The power of Her Highness Augustus comes from the armed coup. Her power is coercive power. She relied on the army to seize the power that belonged to the King of Prussia and forced the Congress to obey her orders. This is the power of Her Majesty Auguste. , and the people’s support for His Highness August can also be regarded as a kind of empowering power, or a guiding power. His Highness August is worshiped by the Prussian people, and the people obey His Highness August’s instructions. So this source The power based on personal charisma is called directive power.

The Congress has been given power by the people, and then through voting, Congress has given power to other people. This is the framework of Prussian power. The essence of politics is compromise. If I sit in the position of regent now, I may not have August. His Highness has the courage to dare such drastic reforms. What I need is stability to ensure that the party that elected me to power can be re-elected. This is the Conservative Party, but you and His Highness August don't need it because you do not belong to any political party.

And August has given you power. Your power can be used to put pressure on Congress and directly get members to compromise as you just did. This is essentially you using the power given to you by His Highness August to defend August. The power of His Highness.

And if something goes wrong with the drastic reforms, who will be responsible? Since you don’t want to take this responsibility, then don’t do it. This is the safest way. The people think the same way. If life is better now, the people will not demand drastic reforms and everyone will turn to conservatives. But if the people If their life is worse than death, then they will seek to overthrow the current government. After all, it will not be worse anyway. It is better to bet that the next leader will be a person who has the ability to lead the country to prosperity, and so on, and so on. "

Tina said: "Oh, then if I give you the rights, can you do what I can do?"

"Of course not, power will escape. August gives you power. If your instructions are contrary to His Highness August, everyone will only listen to His Highness August because your power is not as good as August's." Your Highness, you have given me the same rights. Everyone will listen, but not completely. There are some things that I cannot do with my rights, and I have to rely on the rights of the Prime Minister."

"After so many twists and turns, don't I have to do it myself? Okay, let's stop here today. I'll go to the Ministry of Construction tomorrow."

After all, rights are checks and balances...

"Yes, Prime Minister."
