OPI Chapter 46: Everything belongs to the World Government
🕑 Added 2023-11-04 16:28:49 +0000 UTCOn the one hand, the navy is too strong. In Imu's opinion, the structure of the World Government itself also has quite a few problems. Thinking of this made him a little irritated.
He took the red wine from the coffee table and poured it into a crystal glass. He shook it thoughtfully, took another sip, and suddenly stood up with the wine glass in hand and slowly walked out of the tree house.
Maybe it was a psychological effect. He felt a little bored, so he went out for a walk.
Walking on the silver-gray ground under his feet, with the stars filling the sky, and occasionally smelling the fragrance of red wine.
The maids who were ready to serve nearby did not dare to look around. They lowered their heads respectfully and put their hands in front of them.
As he walked, Imu followed his instinct and came to an unadorned piano made of pure silver.
This piano has a name. It was given to Imu 342 years ago. It's called 'Moon God Piano'.
Imu looked at the full moon in the sky and sat casually on the piano chair. He put the bright red crystal cup aside and lightly brushed the black and white keyboard with his right finger.
For the past several hundred years, while Imu lived in seclusion deep within Mary Geoise, it was not that he was doing nothing. After all, he is also a human being and needs to relieve his boredom, so he has been exposed to many things intermittently, and there are only two things that can make him intoxicated.
Music and painting.
Comparing the two, he is more interested in music.
However, his so-called music has nothing to do with singing, but purely refers to the playing of musical instruments. The long years have allowed him to master many musical instruments, and his skill level is even a little modest to use the word 'expert'.
Among the many musical instruments, the previous Imu loved to play the piano.
Sitting in front of this 'Moon God Piano', he found it difficult to restrain his fingers, so he simply raised his hands and played a series of notes.
As he played, he became more and more skilled, and his fingers became more and more flexible. At first, it simply played the melody that the previous Imu used to play. After a while, the melody suddenly changed, becoming more grand, powerful, and full of courage. The maids were subconsciously attracted by this scene and watched cautiously from the corner of their eyes.
The shocking piano melody made him fall into deep contemplation again.
Although the departmental structure of the World Government seems to be in good shape, if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many shortcomings.
In terms of administration, the highest department is the Government Affairs Council, which is headed by Saint Topman Warcury. Below the Government Affairs Council are the Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Finance.
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the issuance of berries, the management of banks, and the collection of heavenly tribute, while the Ministry of Administration has more and wider responsibilities, including construction, taxation, auditing, industry, and so on.
But the problem is that, firstly, there are very few employees in each department, and secondly, the division of departments in each aspect is too simple, which gives people a very complicated and confusing feeling.
Of course, the so-called 'few people' is what he thinks, because according to his future plan, the current number of government employees is far from enough.
For example, after this Levely, the next world conference will address the issue of the restructuring of heavenly tribute.
If they want to charge proportional fees flexibly, it is impossible to calculate it just by the affiliated nations themselves, because it must take into account a country's population, economy, industry and other aspects.
However, the development levels of the affiliated nations in this world are uneven, and most of them are still in ancient society. Even for a big country like Arabasta, it is difficult to find many good and professional financial talents.
As a result, if they wish to implement proportional charging, the World Government must take on this important task and evaluate the actual situation of each affiliated nation, which requires a lot of professionals in various fields.
The question arises again, where do the professionals come from?
Logically speaking, they must be selected from specialized training schools, but according to the actual situation he saw, the World Government did not have such an education-related department at all.
There are not many schools in most of its affiliated nations. Education among the nobles is provided by tutors, while for the common people at the bottom, it can only be taught by word of mouth from the elders.
In other words, if he wants a large number of professionals, he must first start by building schools. What more desperate situation?
For a time, the melody under Imu's fingertips changed again, sounding more troubled and helpless negative emotions.
Under such circumstances, if they want to reduce the amount of heavenly tribute and ease the pressure on poor and small countries, they can only opt for a blanket approach that reduces the amount for all countries, big or small, rich or poor.
But if we do this, the annual income of the World Government will definitely drop sharply, and even if we have the previous foundation, we will not be able to sustain it for a few years.
So, the best way is to charge proportionately, with big countries and rich countries paying more, small countries and poor countries paying less.
So, what can be done to solve the problem of talent shortage?
Imu thought for a long time, but his fingers kept playing the melody.
For a time, the entire room was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.
'Correct!'
Suddenly, Imu's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened. At the same time, an invisible aura erupted from his body, causing the half-filled glass of red wine beside him to vibrate, and the rhythm of his fingers gradually accelerated.
In the countries of this world, due to the difficulty of transportation between islands, the development level of each country varies greatly.
But this also means that there are not only backward countries, but also advanced countries. Some of these countries are similar to modern times, some have reached the modern level, and some are even at the level of the future.
From ancient times to the future, civilizations from every period can be found on this sea. This is the most incredible thing about it.
'North Blue!'
Yes, that's what Imu thought of. This is a sea area with a large number of heavy industries, cities and hospitals in modern style.
It is impossible for a place like this to not have a relatively mature education industry. Modern industry and commerce will definitely require a large number of technical, medical and financial talents.
In addition, although there are relatively few in other sea areas, there are also islands with a high degree of civilization, such as Loguetown in the East Blue, Water 7 on the Grand Line, the Future Country Baldimore, etc.
Then the World Government can completely recruit from these countries, and even recruit talents in all aspects needed to expand various departments of the government!
The more Imu thought about it, the more excited he became. He discovered that he had entered a misunderstanding before.
The management method that is most suitable for this world is not blindly developing and farming from scratch, but the dispatching of talents and resources.
Whatever you need, you just need to find a place where it is available, because this sea has everything. It depends on whether you can find it, whether you know how to look for it, and how to make good use of it after you find it.
For example, an affiliated nation has no electricity or even the ability to manufacture basic parts. It is completely an ancient country. According to common sense, it should be built from scratch.
As for him, he only needs to have people send the required materials, equipment, and talents from another modern affiliated nation.
Isn't this the main reason why he values the Sea Train?
Although there are no sea trains for now, it is only possible to transfer the needed professionals from various countries by ship. It will be a little troublesome at most.
If the World Government does not have it, it is fine, as long as it is owned by an affiliated nation.
In other words, what belongs to the World Government belongs to the World Government, what belongs to the affiliated nations also belongs to the World Government, and what belongs to non-affiliated nations. Haha... Of course, it also belongs to the World Government.
Imu stopped playing the piano and raised the wine glass next to him, slowly pouring the bright red wine into his mouth.
