Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 706 - 659: Cabinet Proposal

The first country in the original world to attempt this model took such large-scale economic construction for the first time to escape its backward state.

Perfikot plans to learn from this valuable success experience, hoping it can help human development in this world.

However, what Perfikot did not expect was that even before submitting a relevant report to the cabinet, merely releasing this news through the elites and officials of Pripyat attracted the attention of countless people.

"The Lord of the North has a big plan!" This became a consensus for everyone.

Of course, this cannot be considered a rumor, as Perfikot proactively released the news to see how ordinary people would react to the Five-Year Plan.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, most people are more concerned about what Perfikot's Five-Year Plan is really going to do rather than whether this policy is 'free' and 'democratic'.

Still, this is understandable, as many ideologies in this world are still in their nascent stages, and Perfikot, being a genius ahead of the era, has long inspired an almost blind trust in her.

People believe that since this genius can save the world, anything else she does would certainly achieve remarkable results.

And now, this super genius has proposed a big plan, so naturally, everyone wants to know what she is going to do.

"According to your opinion, Count Brandelis, the cabinet should produce a five-year economic development plan, and based on this plan, formulate supportive policies to promote its construction and development." Wellington, the first Prime Minister, summarized after carefully listening to Perfikot's speech: "I suppose I have not misunderstood, right?"

"Yes, that is what I meant." Perfikot affirmatively responded.

"Count, how can we ensure that everything will proceed according to our expected direction and achieve the desired outcomes with this five-year economic development plan?" After receiving Perfikot's affirming response, Wellington appropriately expressed his curiosity.

He merely wanted to introduce the topic, not that he genuinely misunderstood something.

"This is not a particularly complicated issue, firstly the government must play a significant guiding role in setting future economic development goals for a cycle within the country." Perfikot openly began explaining: "The existence of the cabinet actually reflects this function, except the Empire has not truly guided economic construction in the past.

Now adopting the Prime Minister-cabinet system, its term can be viewed as an economic development cycle.

Within this cycle, the cabinet needs to build towards the anticipated direction and issue supportive policies and regulations, promoting private investment to stimulate economic growth."

Perfikot is attempting to combine the Five-Year Plan with the cabinet system based on existing laws and regulations.

Perfikot had previously established relevant supervisory and accountability mechanisms related to the cabinet and Prime Minister, if these can integrate with the Five-Year Plan, making each government cabinet effectively promote and guide economic development within its term, it could be quite a good policy mechanism.

"This sounds like an already mature policy, but can it truly effectively promote economic development?" Some are puzzled, naturally, others are not so optimistic about this system: "Society develops according to its own rules, can we truly intervene? Can the government's regulations effectively promote economic development?"

As stated earlier, this era has many ideologies still in a budding development stage, having doubts about whether development models can promote economic growth is quite normal.

But for Perfikot, explaining and answering this question is simply too troublesome.

She did not come to answer such incredibly complex questions, which even if answered, could not effectively persuade the other party. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

So when faced with the question, Perfikot merely said indifferently: "If the cabinet can effectively guide, it is naturally able to promote economic and societal development.

This is part of the cabinet's function, and if it can't achieve this, then this term's cabinet should reflect on whether it truly played its role.

For the Empire, what we need to consider is what role our formulated and executed policies play for the Empire, rather than whether it will play a role."

Perfikot jumped out the original framework of the problem and answered it from a different angle.

Although the answer isn't entirely satisfactory, it does count as one.

After some discussion and ongoing debate, everyone finally reached a relatively unified opinion.

So Wellington as Prime Minister looked at Perfikot and asked: "Alright, Count, you have certainly convinced me, then which industries would you like the Empire's first Five-Year Plan to focus on developing?

In other words, what development goals and plans do you wish to achieve?"
