Chapter 114

“Is that this the executive workplace?”

“Sure. Most directors work right here.”

As she glanced up on the administrative workplace with a brand new face, the neatly embellished constructing confronted her.

“It is rather spacious.”

“As a result of there are over 100 administrative officers working right here.”

“Are there that many?”

“Sure. And also you’ll have to rent new directors to arrange the establishments you need.”

Zachary answered casually. Listening to his phrases, Iellie regarded quite fearful.

“Hey, is the funds okay?”

“Price range?”

Eyes that shine like blue-tinted glass soaked in daylight look again at Iellie earlier than he smiled confidently.

“It’s okay, Len.”

A big hand gently caressed her cheek. The way in which he checked out her was filled with affection.

“Even when we rent a couple of hundred extra directors, there received’t be any issues with the Duchy’s funds.”

She was barely relieved at his assured voice.

‘Properly, if Zachary mentioned that, it shouldn’t be an issue.’

Then, he escorted her, and as she moved, she out of the blue mentioned,

“Come to consider it, it’s been fairly some time since we’ve come this far, perhaps?”

“Properly, it’s a bit inconvenient to maneuver round with no carriage.”

When he nodded, Iellie paused earlier than she requested him with a puzzled face.

“Then Zachary, what do the folks of the territory do after they come and go?”

“Properly, that…”

He was speechless. It was additionally a matter that he had handed by casually and had by no means really thought of.

“There is no such thing as a method that the villagers have their very own carriage or horse…”

She narrowed her forehead evenly. Come to consider it, Korea, the place she lived in her earlier life, was a rustic with wonderful transportation. The subway, in addition to bus routes, have been effectively maintained. Although now right here…

“Then, are they transferring round this huge Duchy on foot?”

“…Perhaps?”

Maybe this was a bit absurd. Iellie was troubled once more, whereas Zachary felt he had been caught off guard. A method for the folks to maneuver throughout the dukedom… it was an issue he had by no means considered earlier than.

‘It’s a fear I can’t consider except I’m utterly within the locals’ perspective.’

As he glanced at his spouse, she was pondering so intently that there was a lightweight wrinkle on her pure white brow.

He instantly remembered one thing pressing.

“Len, it’s good to consider it.”

“Huh?”

“To begin with, now we have to fulfill with the directors. Proper?”

“Oh, proper. Sure.”

She got here to her senses. Earlier than she knew it, the central convention room the place the directors have been gathered was in entrance of her. She walked into the central convention room first as he adopted her.

Iellie regarded a bit nervous.

‘Really, that is my first time. Can I do effectively?’

She gulped, however it was already spilled water. It was higher to strive one thing first than to do nothing in any respect. The directors who had been ready of their seats rose from their seats.

“Hey, I’m Iellie Hessenweitz.”

The directors have been official officers of the Duchy, in order that they handled her politely. Even the directors bowed their heads.

“Meet Your Excellency Duke and the Duchess.”

“Good to fulfill you. Would you all like to sit down down?”

She then gestured evenly and sat down in her spot first. As a substitute of opening his mouth, Zachary silently stayed by his spouse’s facet, letting her know that she was in command of right this moment’s assembly. The directors additionally take their seats.

“The explanation I visited you right this moment is as a result of I need to open a brand new establishment.”

Iellie, who cleared her throat, opened her mouth in a peaceful voice. The faces of the directors have been filled with curiosity.

“The aim is to create an establishment for the folks.”

“An establishment for the folks of the territory…”

“Properly, is such an establishment actually needed?”

The directors weren’t notably favorable. In reality, Iellie was a reasonably fashionable mistress, so no less than this sort of restricted response was to be anticipated. One of many younger directors raised a hand and requested.

“Can I ask for a proof?”

“In fact.”

Anyway, she had already anticipated this sort of response. Iellie straightened her again and opened her mouth.

“I need to set up a brand new discipline associated to welfare, akin to housing, the aged, and youngsters.”

The directors who have been listening to her clarification involuntarily shrugged their shoulders. It was as a result of Zachary, who was sitting subsequent to Iellie, glared at them with menacing eyes. He was actually yelling together with his eyes.

‘In the event you don’t take note of Iellie’s phrases proper now, I’ll need to take care of you after this.’

Seeing the clear that means of their eyes, the directors gulped as lights started to glint of their eyes. Iellie struggled to correctly convey what she had been organizing in her head.

“I’m pondering of putting administrative employees individually in order that they’ll straight hearken to and go on the complaints of the native folks.”

Whereas saying that, she recalled the staff of the district workplace she had seen in her previous. They didn’t lose their smile even whereas coping with the complaints with drained faces on a regular basis. She puzzled if it was a civil servant’s sorrow.

“In fact, I’m effectively conscious that you simply’re all overworked proper now.”

Subsequently, Iellie spoke extra. She was effectively conscious that the Duchy would wish this establishment in the long run. Nonetheless, that didn’t imply that present folks must be overworked.

“So, I’m pondering of hiring the directors who run this establishment individually.”

At first, the directors ignored her phrases, however the extra they listened, the extra they seen that her opinions have been practical. It was all of the extra so as a result of they have been directors who had been rolling within the discipline for a very long time.

“If solely extra folks have been chosen to share the work…”

“If the variety of folks will increase, it will likely be okay to proceed with the work itself.”

The directors checked out one another. Within the meantime, an elderly-looking administrator requested a query.

“Then, is the executive establishment’s work and the brand new establishment’s work separate?”

“A few of the work will likely be shared, and the pointless components will likely be separated.”

She answered in a pleasant voice.

Her eyes sparkled as she continued to clarify, “The executive establishment would be the mum or dad establishment of the brand new establishment.”

“Which means…”

“Additionally, the brand new establishment will take over among the extreme work that the administration has been doing.”

With Iellie’s phrases, the directors’ faces turned shiny. They couldn’t assist however welcome the truth that the work can be diminished by a brand new establishment. Alternatively, whereas quietly observing their facial expressions, she praised them in a sonorous tone.

“Thus far, you guys have accomplished a terrific job.”

Taking a look at her, Zachary was barely stunned. He by no means thought she’d be good at coping with these snarky directors. She mainly appeared to know how one can discuss and persuade folks.

“I simply want I might share a bit little bit of your work and talk a bit extra with the locals.”

She handled individuals who weren’t favorable to her, and quite than reprimanding them for his or her errors, she sympathized with them for his or her exhausting work. Afterwards, she held out a reward and defined the necessity for a brand new establishment step-by-step.

“Oh, and…”

Benefiting from the favorable temper among the many directors, Iellie opened up about different points.

“Since I got here to the executive workplace right this moment, I believed that the dukedom is sort of extensive.”

“Sure, you’re proper, however…”

The Duchy of Hessenweitz, which dominated all the northern half, was one of many largest territories within the Empire. By way of its space, it was a lot bigger than Lippenberg, the place the capital Lippen was situated.

The directors shook their heads.

“So I considered it. How about making a transportation system that enables folks to maneuver across the duchy comfortably?”

“A transportation system…?”

“Sure. One thing like arranging a carriage to cross the dukedom periodically in keeping with the time.”

What Iellie was eager about was the bus system. She spoke in a cautious tone.

“I don’t assume it will likely be an excessive amount of bother for those who change horses recurrently.”

This proposal was far more well-received than the creation of a brand new establishment. The directors listened to Iellie with severe faces, and after some time, nodded to her. It could positively enhance the standard of life.

“…Nice thought, Duchess.”

“I’m flattered. I’m much more blissful to listen to you say that.”

Iellie shrugged her shoulders and smiled. She was fearful that she must haggle for fairly a while, however trying on the response now, it appeared prefer it received’t be needed. Folks within the convention room laughed heartily.
