Chapter 41: The Excited Lorne! 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
Of course, Lorne had mentioned that there were several ways to improve the assessment plan, and he was only halfway through.
Therefore, Rosen did not interrupt and continued to listen on. Halfway through, Rosen realized that even when he was studying back then, he had never listened so attentively.
When Lorne saw that Rosen was being serious, his interest in the explanation suddenly surged.
He began to even add in gestures as he spoke.
“The officials and nobles who receive the worst evaluation for three years in a row would be severely punished, so the corresponding ones who receive the best evaluation for three years in a row should naturally be rewarded.
“For example, those who receive the highest evaluation for three years in a row should be credited with great merit. We can even consider increasing the reward of the original promotion rank by more than one rank.
“Those who are more mediocre could be promoted from a Baron to a Great Baron. We could consider raising the salary without changing the position. We can even increase the intensity of the reward and directly promote them to the Count position to Viscount.
“In this way, the noble officials across the country would be afraid of getting a low evaluation and yearn for a higher evaluation. To a larger extent, it will naturally increase the enthusiasm of these noble officials.”
Rosen nodded repeatedly as he listened on. His face was full of excitement and joy. He kept muttering to himself as he recalled the methods that Lorne had just mentioned.
“Good method. This is indeed a brilliant strategy. If this gets implemented, at least the noble officials in the world wouldn’t dare to be as careless and unscrupulous as before. However, you mentioned that there were four aspects. Which aspect did you start from?”
Lorne casually picked up a knife and knocked on the table twice.
“The three aspects mentioned above are all for the noble officials. The last aspect would be from the Ministry of Education.”
As he said that, Lorne poked his head over and whispered, “You said that there are so many officials in the world who have bad reputations that are falling. On the contrary, these officials are still stable and steadily rising.
“Do you think there are people in the Ministry of Education who are willing to earn some dirty money? Some of them have to be eliminated. Not all of them have to be eliminated, but at the very least, they have to be intimidated so much that they won’t dare to brazenly change the results of the world’s officials’ assessment.”
Lorne had just finished speaking when Rosen’s eyes widened.
Bang!
He slammed the table, giving Lorne a fright.
“You’re right. There must be something wrong within the Ministry of Education itself. Otherwise, those noble officials wouldn’t dare cause such a ruckus.
“The Ministry of Education must be filled with filth and scum, and these people would even dare cooperate with others outside.”
Rosen was getting a little excited, and his face was a little red. His actions were now even more exaggerated than before he drank.
It was because this was a problem that had been stuck in Rosen’s heart for a long time. As the head of the Education department, he knew that there were a lot of loopholes in the department under his jurisdiction, and there were also a lot of dirty exchanges that went on under his nose.
However, he had been struggling as he had no good way to solve it, that was why he was often troubled by this.
Therefore, Lorne’s words had hit the nail on the head, which was why it made him so excited. However, when he raised his head to look at Lorne, he found that the owner was sitting on the other end of the chair, looking at him with a strange look.
“Ahem… boss, why are you sitting so far away?”
Lorne hesitated a little and pointed at his head with his finger.
“Vincent, are you okay?”
The muscles on Rosen’s face twitched, and he felt a little embarrassed.
“Boss, what could be wrong with me? It’s very normal to react to something like this.”
Lorne nodded hesitantly.
“Oh… so there’s nothing wrong with your brain.”
Bang!
As he said that, Rosen slammed the table once more, and even the bowls and plates on the table shook.
Lorne let out a painful cry, and he was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. On the other side, Rosen glared at him angrily.
“Old man, why are you doing this? You gave me a fright.
“I only said that the departments might be filled with filth and scum. The way you reacted, outsiders might think you’re the head of the Education Department of something.
“I think even if Charles was here, he wouldn’t be as excited as you were just now. Why are you acting so worked up?”
After Lorne sat up straight from the fright, he did not know what to say anymore.
Witnessing this, Rosen really wanted to stand up and shout at Lorne.
“I am Rosen, I am the Head of the Education Department. Be careful with what you say!”
Unfortunately, his identity could not be exposed, so he kept all those words back into his mind. He only cupped his hands to Lorne and said, “Boss, please calm down. I’m not angry, I’m just agitated.
“After all, a merchant like me has to go to too many places to do business. It’s not the first time that I’ve been exploited by noble officials.”
“Therefore, when I heard you say that there are still people in the Ministry of Education who cooperate with each other to protect these greedy and evil officials, I should be rightfully angry.
“Forgive me for my impulsivity.”
The fear on Lorne’s face dissipated slightly.
“Old pal, look at you. You’re already so old, yet you’re still unable to contain your anger. You can’t be like this. It’s obvious that you haven’t learned how to control your emotions properly.
“I don’t think my old friend, Charles should be the only one who needs to acknowledge me as his master. You have to act quickly and learn more about the art of self-control and energy refinement from me.
“I guarantee that after you learn from me, you’ll be able to control your emotions. Your expressions will be calm, and you’ll be able to extend your life and live a more few hundred years!”
Expressing emotions?
Rosen was curious.. If Lorne knew that his old friend was the king, would he still be daring enough to act like this?!
