Chapter 153: New Deal 2
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was not at fault, but he was counting on Mars to transfer some of the seized aristocratic assets to him, so he agreed.
The Minister of Justice, who was a rather serious official, asked: "Your Majesty, once this draft is implemented, I am afraid that it will have a huge impact on the kingdom, and if there is a mistake in all aspects, it will also make this draft a tiger." ”
Mars nodded slightly, worthy of a serious official, and he said slowly: "So, next, I need the ministers to improve the links, and at the latest in three days, I will show the territory of the kingdom." ”
He only handed over this draft to four important ministers, and as for the other ministers, they are all small roles, and they are not as good as the four important ministers in terms of qualifications, but many things will also keep other ministers busy.
The former prime minister did not take a stand, he had already seen Mars's determination to reform, so no matter what he said, it was only in vain, he only needed to be an executor in the new king's reforms.
After all, for now, his position is quite stable, and there is no replacement candidate.
While Mars convened the Ministers' Council, Frank led the knights in a reckoning with the Dark Street Rats.
Sunset Harbor.
For convenience, Mars directly changed the original long list of names of the port and named it Sunset Port, which was also the first place he named after he ascended the throne. In Mars's imagination, it would be built into a large port, a transit point for supplies.
And at this moment, Frank led five hundred knights to start the census from the chaotic port, and all the black street rats were executed, because according to the source, the human lives in the hands of these black street rats are not as simple as one, and they even sell the royal capital's population, which is also an important reason why Mars cannot forgive.
On this day, Sunset Harbor ushered in a dark day, which was later known in history as "Rat Eradication Day".
It was also from this day that the number of black street rats that were liquidated reached 50,000, and the entire port was piled up with a mountain of people, and the water surface was stained red with blood, stretching for ten miles.
There are also a number of officials such as the director of the Port Authority in the Rentou Mountain Package, who were directly beheaded by Frank, of course, this is also the power that Mars handed over to Frank.
Mars wants to show the people of Sunset City that his new policy and his determination to reform.
Since then, Sunset Port has taken on a new look, and in the near future, it has been full of vitality.
Three days later, the new official selection system was publicized throughout the country, the nobles protested, and the commoners and businessmen cheered, because this was to give them a chance to become the rulers.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that it would be difficult to be knighted in the future, and they would all be treated as a supreme honor, and they would not enjoy the unique treatment of nobles.
As soon as the system of selecting new officials was introduced, the examination system and the interview system were also introduced, and Mars sent officials to various places to give lectures.
For a time, the wave of new policies swept the country, and even the three provinces controlled by the three major dukes of the royal family were also hotly discussed, and many learned commoners and merchants set off for the royal capital of Sunset City.
The other four provinces had sworn allegiance to Mars, and Mars gave the four governors the greatest honor, elevating them from earls to dukes.
The four governors reciprocated the favor by actively promoting the new policy and sending outstanding sons to participate in the selection examination for new officials in the royal capital.
After the introduction of the new official selection system, Mars's new policy was just beginning, and then Mars introduced the education system, that is, the three-year free education system, the primary education system, and the higher education system, which almost copied the education system of the Lapps civilization, but the Lapps civilization had a free nine-year compulsory education system and a scholarship education system.
It's a pity that the economy of the Sunset City Kingdom is very backward, and it is not enough to support the huge education expenditure, and the three-year free is also the limit after he made the plan, after all, as far as the current statistics are concerned, the national population is also a little more than 100 million, and the three-year free education system is only for civilians over the age of seven, as for the later primary education and higher education, these need to build a large number of educational facilities, and they must be charged.
The introduction of the education system completely frightened the aristocracy, because in this way, the aristocracy would no longer have a complete monopoly on education, and the commoners would have the opportunity to receive education.
Of course, the common people may not understand this, but some people of insight have already cheered and shouted long live the new king.
With the introduction of the education system, judicial reform was also on the agenda, with Mars first abolishing hanging, but retaining the death penalty, and the jury was decided, with Frank unsurprisingly becoming presiding judge.
Although Frank repeatedly refused, he was moved by Mars's words, after all, Frank was a native of the Holy City and would not be biased against the trial because of his personal preferences and dislikes.
The trial of more than 30,000 nobles could not be completed overnight, of course, Mars adopted the trial of the family unit, and divided the family members into major members and secondary members, the main members carefully tried, and the secondary members were simply tried.
The purpose of this is to save time and manpower to the greatest extent possible, although there will be omissions.
When the trial of the aristocracy was put on the agenda, Mars directly handed down the verdict of the trial to the former queen Bella, that is, the charge of life imprisonment with hard labor, the execution of the head of the Rubel family in public, and the other members of the family were sentenced to life imprisonment and hard labor.
The labor performed by Bella and the others was arranged by Mars, who asked them to write textbooks, the content of which naturally had to be reviewed by Mars before they could be approved, and the time limit was three months.
In the palace library, Mars stood by the window, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Temple of Light!
After Mars's coronation, the temple did not say anything, and he did not inform the temple, and the two sides were like neighbors who had never been in touch with each other.
However, Mars was so uncomfortable that he wanted to send a knight to destroy the temple directly, but after learning that the Pope of the temple had blocked the aftermath of the Black Skull's sword, he dispelled this idea.
This made him deeply understand that the Temple of Light was not as simple as he imagined, and those who could block the aftermath of a blow from a Saint-rank powerhouse such as the Black Skull must also be a Saint-rank powerhouse.
And in Sunset City, there is no combat power comparable to it, because the black skeleton has disappeared, and he doesn't know what the little black skeleton object in his hand is and what it does.
