Once the technical workers' job-ranking system and minimum-wage guarantee policy were announced, they caused quite a stir across the country.

Of course, most of the impact was positive. The people generally welcomed this kind of job ranking, because it could indeed raise their wages.

Especially for workers who believed their abilities were fairly good, many had already planned to take the Level Four Technical Worker examination as soon as the technical assessment centers in their regions were completed, thereby obtaining the highest rank among technical workers.

However, reality was not quite as ideal as they imagined. Technical workers had to be assessed step by step. That meant they first had to begin as Level One technical workers and continue taking examinations until they reached Level Four.

After learning that the public response had been largely positive, Arthur stopped paying attention to the subsequent ranking and examination arrangements.

After all, those matters could be handled by the Cabinet Government alone. If Arthur kept involving himself, he would only add to their pressure.

At present, what Arthur was more concerned about was how to find ways to generate income for the government and the Royal Family.

Of course, the government was the one most in need of increased revenue. Although the Royal Family's income was not yet as high as the government's, it also had far fewer expenses.

The government had plenty of income, but it had to provide for the livelihood of more than 30 million people throughout the kingdom. Such expenditures were enormous.

At present, the Royal Family consisted of only a few people. No matter how extravagantly they spent, their annual income was already more than sufficient.

Of course, under Arthur's orders and supervision, the members of the Royal Family had shown no signs of excessive extravagance so far.
