To be promoted from a third-class political officer to a second-class political officer is equivalent to rising several levels.

Above the third-class administrative officers are the third-class administrative officers, and above that are the second-class administrative officers, and then there are the second-class administrative officers.

Each level is divided into main leadership positions, general leadership positions and non-leadership positions.

It would take at least ten years for a normal person to go through so many levels.

Just by answering a question and taking a stand once, he has crossed a distance that many people would find difficult to cross in more than 20 to [-] years or even a lifetime.

Is this an opportunity?

If he were just a second-class political administrator, although Samuel would be excited, he would never be so gloomy.

What really made him lose control of himself was Matthew's appointment.

The king usually has 2-3 secretaries, including 1 official secretary, and in addition there are personal secretaries.

There are also differences between secretaries. Although the living secretary has a considerable influence on the king, his power is limited.

The public secretary is different. He can master extremely important information and possess extremely exaggerated political resources.

If you serve the king well, it is not a problem to be released as a governor in a few years.

He knelt down on one knee in excitement and loudly swore allegiance.

Matthew only listened to this pledge of allegiance.

Except for the specially planted moles, who had thought about becoming a traitor when they took the oath?

Samuel was indeed loyal now, but he wouldn't be too surprised if things changed in the future.

He just thought this guy was smart and responsible, so he temporarily assigned him to be the public secretary.

After confirming the identity of the secretary, Matthew thought for a moment and said: "Samuel, help me draft a plan regarding the placement of the eunuchs, maids, and guards of the previous dynasty."

Samuel was very excited. He had drafted this plan, and maybe His Majesty would also hand over this matter to him.

If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in. If your Majesty drives out these old people, a new batch of people will definitely come in.

By then, no matter how cool his sleeves are, he will still have a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, Samuel's heart gradually warmed up.

Although his expression management was very good, Matthew could still see his little thoughts at a glance.

Matthew knew that this was a common characteristic of officials in this era.

Even though the officials he brought out from Lundebel had received strict ideological education and understood the full set of laws and regulations, there were still many corrupt and perverted persons among them.

This is a feudal society, and this kind of thing is too normal.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, so Matthew will not be too strict most of the time.

But everything must have a degree. If you cross Matthew's red line, it will be a dead end.

Seeing the flames flickering in the eyes of this smart Samuel, Matthew felt vaguely uneasy. In order to prevent the secretary from going astray, he seriously reminded:

"Samuel, as long as you work hard by my side, the rewards and benefits will be great. Don't use your brain!"

Samuel didn't expect Matthew to say such words, and his bones trembled with fear, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Matthew stared into his eyes, his mental power reaching its limit, and he quickly hypnotized Samuel.

After checking his memory, Matthew determined that this boy's ability was fine, but he was a bit vain and had a preference for wine, sex, wealth and wealth.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to leave a mark on Samuel's sea of ​​consciousness.

[Thinking Seal: Be law-abiding and loyal to the public]

Matthew does not force such people to be as honest and self-loving as Hai Rui.In fact, there is no Hai Rui in this world.

His request for Samuel was simple, to abide by the law.

As long as it's within the scope of laws and regulations, if you want to make money, then go ahead and make it.

He breaks Samuel's hypnosis.

Looking at the young civil servant who was following the carriage on horseback with a somewhat frightened expression, Matthew said seriously:

"Samuel, I don't need these people in my palace, so you don't want to seek personal gain in the process of selecting maids and new eunuchs, do you understand?"

Samuel was so frightened that he fell off his horse.

Before he could react, Matthew flicked his finger and an arcane ball of light flew out, lifting Samuel up and sending the unfortunate secretary back to the horse.

"Samuel, I can make you go up, and I can make you fall down, remember that."

Samuel had already been imprinted on his mind by Matthew, and he was so frightened that Matthew had exposed his secret just now. He didn't dare to say anything, so he naturally expressed his loyalty with tears of gratitude.

Matthew nodded with satisfaction. There was no problem with this secretary's ability. After such a scare, there was no problem with his loyalty.

He glanced at the worn boots on Samuel's feet and thought to himself that this was probably a threshold that many outstanding young people from rural areas would find difficult to cross.

Because of his outstanding ability, he was sent to study. Because of his excellent academic performance, he was selected to be an official.

But they have been afraid of poverty since they were young. Once they have the opportunity to make money, they have no scruples in making money.

Although they may not dare to spend the money they have made, they must make it!

Children who have been afraid of hunger since childhood always like to save food, while country children who have been afraid of poverty since childhood like money.

Only the scent of gold coins can reassure them.

Matthew understands this thinking.

Just a few years ago, he was a poor boy. If he hadn't been chosen by the goddess of fate to be a time traveler, he would be worse than Samuel in front of him.

Maybe it was a similar background that aroused Matthew's sympathy, maybe it was Samuel's growth experience that reminded Matthew of himself in another world, and his heart was a little soft.

Matthew took out a large bag of gold coins from the carriage and threw it to Samuel.

"This is a thousand big gold coins, take it and spend it. Follow me and work hard, and you will never be poor again in this life."

Samuel held the money bag, tears streaming down his face.

While wiping his tears with his sleeves, he secretly swore in his heart that if he, Samuel, was unloyal and patriotic, he would sink in hell forever.

Seeing that Samuel calmed down, Matthew stated his request.

"All the eunuchs will be dismissed and given housing allowances; all the maids, forget it, just keep 50 of them and let them take care of daily affairs. The new palace is not that big anyway."

Samuel took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down Matthew's request.

After listening to Matthew's words, he expressed his position loudly: "Your Majesty, I will definitely choose the most beautiful maid to stay."

Matthew glared at him and said angrily: "Why choose beautiful ones? You ask for their opinions. If they don't want to stay, give them severance pay and let them go home. If they want to get married, priority will be given to soldiers who have made meritorious service." "

He thought for a while and then added: "Make it clear to them that even if I stay in the palace, I will never choose a concubine among them. Let them think carefully when making a choice."

Samuel was a little speechless, but he still recorded it honestly.

What His Majesty the King said must be right. If you can't understand it yet, then copy it down and digest it later.

This is the main reason why Matthew likes Samuel.

He is smart and obedient.

The most important job of a secretary is to share tedious tasks with the chief officer, so that the chief officer can use his precious energy on the main work.

If the secretary has her own ideas and even tries to influence the chief officer, then unless the chief officer is an idiot, the secretary will be done with it.

Samuel had just been appointed secretary and had not fully adapted to his status, so he thought about things in a self-righteous way.

After Matthew glared at him, he immediately shut up and tried to change his identity.

Seeing that Samuel was on the road quickly, Matthew was in a good mood. After all, this boy was the official he had chosen to appoint. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him if he was too incompetent?

Chapter 190: See through it at a glance

After Matthew finished his instructions, Samuel asked for instructions on some details, and then left with a filled notebook.

Looking at Samuel's back, Matthew nodded with satisfaction.

He was satisfied, but Aishanya was shocked from ear to ear.

There were outsiders just now, and she was too embarrassed to speak directly. Now that Samuel is gone, she must persuade him where necessary.

She pinched Matthew's sleeve, tugged it gently, lowered her head and said, "Matthew, there are some things that are inconvenient for others to say and can only be said by me. Do you want to hear it?"

"Okay, my dear, please give me your instructions."

"Don't make trouble, I'm talking about business."

Aishanya bit her lip and reminded: "Matthew, I know what you are thinking. You don't need so many people to serve you, so you want them to go home and live a free life, right?"

"Yes."

"But have you ever thought about it, freedom also comes with a price, and most people simply cannot afford the price of freedom."

"It's your good intention to let them go home, but have you thought about how they will live?"

"I'll give them severance packages and jobs."

Aishanya slowly shook her head and said:

"What they need most is a sense of identity. For example, these eunuchs are physically disabled. If they can stay in the palace, they still have a place to belong. If they really return to society, what will others think of them?"

"No matter where they go, they are seen as monsters in the eyes of others. Some people will insult them with dirty words, and some people will look at them strangely."

"Those maids are easy to deal with. They can be selected to the palace and their looks are pretty good. Just let them get married. But after all, they are members of the palace. In theory, they are also the king's harem. How can you let them get married? Is it acceptable?"

Matthew smiled and said: "They are also marrying for King Charles. What does they have to do with me? I did not accept them."

Aishania was originally discussing the issue with Matthew seriously, but she didn't expect Matthew to say such a sentence, and she couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Then you are really in trouble. Charles is dead and you still don't let him go."

Matthew said seriously: "These people should not have been his women in the first place. Since Charles is dead, it is natural for them to return to society to find their own happiness."

"Okay, now that you've decided, let's do it. But what about those eunuchs?"

This is indeed a big problem.

Aishanya is right. For these eunuchs, the biggest problem is not survival at all. After all, they have stayed in the palace for so many years and have saved a lot of private money. The severance pay is just a drop in the bucket for them.

What they need most is a sense of identity.

Even though the king works as a waiter and is scolded behind his back as a hermaphrodite, he still has status and is respected by others. If we let them go now, it would be really unstable for these dozens of people to flow into society. factor.

Just as Matthew was lost in thought, Aisanya frowned in distress, "Although it's a bit rude to say this, these eunuchs are really... apart from trying to find tricks and observing people's actions, they seem to only be looking for trouble. ."

"They usually dislike everyone, especially the civil servants. They are natural enemies with the eunuchs. If they are allowed to go out, they will be beaten to death sooner or later."

"But they don't have much ability, and most of them are mean. It's really difficult to place them."

Matthew's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He finally thought of the advantages of these people.

"Elsa, what you just said, say it again."

"I said it's really difficult for them to relocate."

"One more sentence!"

"Most of them are mean..." Although the eunuchs were indeed like this, it was never a good thing to talk about people's shortcomings behind their backs. Aishania stuck out her cute little tongue in embarrassment and lowered her head without speaking.

Matthew grabbed her hand and opened his mouth happily: "Dear, thank you for reminding me, I finally found their advantages."

"Hey, what's the advantage?"

Do these eunuchs have any advantages?Aishanya's face was full of astonishment, and there was a big question mark written on her little head.

Matthew laughed, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Their advantage is that they are mean."

Aishanya: "..."

"Hey, even though I have a good temper, I'm not immune to anger."

Matthew said seriously: "This is really an advantage. It can also be seen from Samuel's performance just now that these officials will think about making money after becoming officials."

"Although it is indeed wrong to do this, it has always been like this in officialdom."

"Is it right that this has always been the case?"

Matthew shook his head slowly and said, "I have to set some rules for them and find someone to supervise them."

"You mean, let these eunuchs supervise the officials?"
