Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 763 - 715 Economic Reform_2

Perhaps the ordinary people do not feel it that deeply, but the factories have received more orders, the wages and bonuses have increased, and the money in their pockets has thickened. The market has more goods and commodities available than before, and people have gone from eating meat once a week to once every two or three days. These are indeed good days.

With this as a premise, naturally the support for Perfikot among the populace has skyrocketed, and even the approval rating of the current cabinet continues to climb.

In just six months, many people even feel that life seems to have returned to the most prosperous period of the Empire, and the Northern Territory seems to have become much like Langton in the past.

Such a change is undoubtedly astonishing. You must know that Langton's prosperity was built on the exploitation of the world's colonies by the Empire, using massive resources, while the Northern Territory does not have such resources.

Although the Empire has re-suppressed the colonies, forcing obedience, the colonies have also been affected by the doomsday winter. After being severely hit, the production decrease and the decline of living standards left no fat to squeeze.

Plus, the severe cold impacts transportation, making it difficult to transport resources from colonies to the Northern Territory, even if they might have some. This means that while the Empire has indeed regained the colonies, they have brought no positive benefits to the Northern Territory.

On the contrary, the Northern Territory needs to send personnel and resources to assist the colonies, helping them cope with the doomsday winter and recover from the apocalypse-like disaster.

After all, colonies are still important to the Empire. If each colony can resume operations, it would still be highly beneficial to the Northern Territory.

Therefore, after the situation in the Northern Territory was back on track, Perfikot dispatched the Flying Airship fleet to provide technical and economic assistance to the colonies.

In this situation, she could still make the people of the Northern Territory noticeably feel an improvement in their lives, which is undoubtedly a tremendous achievement. It naturally leads people to wonder what incredible achievements Perfikot has made.

This further enhanced Perfikot's reputation, adding to her titles of genius and tyrant with a new label of virtuous authority.

Some even compared her to famous monarchs in history, ultimately concluding that ancient kings are hardly a match for the Regent!

Consequently, in Beloburg, people have spontaneously petitioned to erect a statue of Perfikot to commemorate her kindness to the people.

This matter was reported to the cabinet, causing them to feel a mix of astonishment and amusement. Although surprised by the people's reaction, they dared not reject their demand, unsure of how Perfikot herself viewed it.

After all, if Perfikot did not like being honored this way, building a statue could be somewhat offensive.

However, after seeking permission, which was tacitly granted by Perfikot, the statue in Beloburg was erected smoothly.

"This statue is a bit exaggerated, I'm not this tall." This was Perfikot's only comment after learning about her completed statue and seeing the supposedly life-sized sculpture.

Compared to the statue erected by the public, Perfikot is more concerned about the flying warship that has finally commenced construction at the shipyard.

After nearly a year of preparation, most of the ancillary projects for the flying warship have been put into production, leaving no major issues in constructing the main body.

As for more detailed support systems, time is still needed to implement these projects.

Nevertheless, there are still slight deviations in the progress of the flying warship plan, slower than Perfikot expected.

Mainly, during her resignation, the cabinet made a mess of her layout and plans, causing enormous delays in the project.

After ascending to the regency and taking control of the Empire, despite vigorously pursuing reforms that helped the delayed flying warship plan race to catch up, the progress still failed to meet Perfikot's expectations.

Thus, Perfikot is particularly attentive to the construction of the flying warships. Not only has she personally stationed herself in the factory to supervise construction, ensuring it aligns with her plans, but she can also address any emerging issues promptly.

"Chief Engineer, about 5.7% of the sheets from the foundry have quality issues." An engineer reported to Perfikot, who was reviewing blueprints: "The delivery from the leather factory is delayed again, for the third time this quarter."

"Store the sheets without issues, send those with quality problems back for redo." Perfikot did not lift her head, continuing to study the blueprints on the workbench: "Notify the Anti-Corruption Committee to investigate the foundry and leather factory, to find out the root causes without affecting their operations."

"Yes, Chief Engineer, I will go right away." The engineer nodded and swiftly disappeared.

Perfikot still did not raise her head, continually focused on the blueprints in front of her.

The construction of the flying warship is still in its early stages, requiring cooperation between departments to be further refined, along with unavoidable discrepancies between the actual construction and design, leaving Perfikot with quite a bit to do.

However, compared to handling political affairs, Perfikot does not mind this kind of busyness.

Because everything she does can be directly reflected in the progress of the flying warship's construction.

The visible achievements and progress are so motivating that Perfikot works with an almost obsessive dedication.

If not for the old steward insisting that Perfikot's programming in Beifa includes punctual reminders to eat and sleep, Perfikot might genuinely forgo both for work.

As the primary person in charge of the flying warship plan and the most powerful person in the Empire, Perfikot's dedication sets the standard, reflecting the state of industries and factories associated with the entire flying warship plan.

Take the foundry, for example; they supply sheets to the shipyard after the start of the flying warship's construction.

Initially, sheets with quality issues accounted for nearly 30%, even reaching as high as 32.7%, with one out of every three sheets having quality issues. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Although these were not entirely unusable, serious quality issues, it still indicated significant problems in the foundry's work and highlighted areas for improvement.

Now, the proportion of sheets with quality issues has dropped to 5.7%, almost negligible compared to before, achieved through improvements in the past quarter.

Though Perfikot's help in improving production processes and enhancing quality checks contributed, it still shows the substantial impact of her diligence on the entire plan.

When even your superior's superior works tirelessly, it's wise to take your work equally seriously to survive.

Although Perfikot doesn't demand everyone work with the same intensity as herself, no one dares to slack, as she still holds the regency, able to determine life and death with a word.

Particularly the Anti-Corruption Committee investigators, who genuinely round up the corrupt and idle, bringing them to trial.

In the Northern Territory, neglect of duty and lack of dedication have become synonymous with crime, especially after the first case where someone was sentenced for negligence, further ingraining this notion.

This has slightly enhanced production efficiency throughout the Northern Territory and significantly improved the quality rate of factories, an unexpected delight.

Owing to this, the construction progress of the flying warship is actually ahead of the projected schedule, much to Perfikot's satisfaction.
