Sir Fisher's hoarse and loud voice rang in the ears of the many district chiefs, and everyone only moved their eyelids slightly, and the expression on their faces was as calm as ever, as if they didn't take it to heart.

Seeing this, Sir Fisher cheered up, his somewhat shriveled lips curled slightly, tilted his head, like a proud rooster, took up the parchment that he had copied at hand, and proclaimed in a loud voice: "In order that the local system may be perfected, and that you may better serve the royal family and England, His Majesty proposes that the counties of East England should adopt the following methods:

First, the heads of many 100 households and 1,000 households should be given due remuneration, such as 10 pounds a year for the mayor of 100 districts and 15 pounds for the mayor of the district, such a fair remuneration! ”

When I heard that for thousands of years, I still had a salary for serving the government, even the most indifferent people, I smiled happily at this time.

After all, in this day and age, nothing soothes people's hearts more than the pound sterling, as long as the money is enough, even the title of emperor can be bought.

Refer specifically to the Holy Roman Emperor, grandfather of King Charles V of Spain, Maximilian I.

Especially in this era of broken hearts, the charm of money is maximized.

Therefore, when I heard that being an official not only has the right, but also has the money to take, this is a great thing.

The thirteen hundred district chiefs, of different ages, all showed happy smiles on their faces, showing black or yellow teeth, and the atmosphere of the room suddenly became pleasant, and the air began to dance with a happy factor, and in the weak heart of the people, they kept tickling.

In fact, Sir Fisher was actually quite happy to be able to get the money, and although serving the king could bring him a great deal of prestige and that of himself, the benefits were very small.

After all, this is a post in his hometown, and almost every move can be known by the villagers, not to mention that for the prestige of the family, it is impossible for him to make profits on a large scale.

Therefore, a net income like fifteen pounds, in this era of inflation, is also a large amount, which can make him a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, Sir Fisher nodded, and after a while, when everyone's faces eased, he restrained his smile, his eyes were fixed, and he continued slowly:

"In addition, Your Majesty also requires that the head of the 100-household district and the head of the 1000-household district must have the dignity that meets the identity and deserves!"

"Your Excellency, what is worthy of status and deserved!"

As soon as the words landed, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard asked loudly in a rough voice.

Sir Fisher heard the voice and looked down from the stage, it turned out to be the famous "Daring" Horner in South Cambridge, and then said with a smile: "I can't tell you the specifics, but I know a few things!" ”

"First of all, our speech will no longer be blocked, and no one will be able to arrest us with their speech!"

"Again, it is no longer the local manor courts and the hundred district courts that will judge us, but the county courts and the high courts of London, as well as the Star Chamber courts!"

"One more point, Your Majesty also requires that the nobles treat us politely and civilly, and insulting words and actions should not exist!"

Saying that, Sir Fisher couldn't help but tremble his lips, such a huge condition would definitely make the prestige of their hundred district chiefs and district chiefs skyrocket, and they could even compare to those hereditary noble lords.

And the shock in the hearts of the 100 district chiefs below was even greater than that of Sir Fisher on the stage.

This is a complete elevation of status, and it can be said that it is an act of overriding all civilians.

In the past, although they carried public office, they served His Majesty the King.

Yes, the difference with ordinary people is almost the same, except that the power in their hands is greater.

In addition to some people's spontaneous respect, in the eyes of those noble lords, in addition to disdain or disdain, it is better to expect respect than to count on the ewe to have horns!

Originally, the annual remuneration received from the county was nothing compared to this, and fame was much more important than money.

In English society at this time, fame was the guarantee of the nobles and gentlemen, and it was also where they and ordinary people relied to change their social status.

Therefore, the joy on the faces of everyone at this time is heartfelt, real, and unpretentious.

Sir Fisher suppressed his agitation, he knew that his identity was different from theirs, at least, from now on.

"Be quiet, gentlemen! If you need it, you can go out and discuss! ”

Sir Fisher's faint and reproachful voice slowly sounded, and the people below who were in an inexplicable mood realized that this was not the place for them to celebrate.

The dozen or so district chiefs under the stage immediately sorted out their manners, pricked up their ears, and prepared to continue to listen to Sir Fisher, who brought good news, and more good news came out of his mouth.

So, the obedient crowd held their breath, their eyes widened, and remained motionless, waiting quietly for the good news of Sir Fisher.

Seeing this, Sir Fisher lowered his head slightly, looked at the decree in his hand that was full of handwriting, and his right hand trembled slightly, and then continued.

"In order to be more efficient, and to better serve His Majesty, the officials of the county must be divided into equal positions, so that they can serve England steadily and continuously!"

Sir Fisher raised his head, looked at the crowd with a look of surprise on their faces, and said cautiously word by word:

"The Governor of the 100th District must bow down to the Governor, and the Governor must bow to the officials of the counties, and this will be promulgated in the form of a law, and anyone who violates the law will face punishment!"

As soon as Sir Fisher's murderous words came out, the whole room was silent, and it could be seen that everyone took a big breath of cold air in unison.

After all, if the situation is true, then the status of the 100 district governors at the bottom will plummet.

And you must know that in the past, the head of the 100 districts and the head of the county were equal in status except for the difference in the size of the place they managed.

Like the county governors and county lieutenants, they are directly subordinate to His Majesty the King and appointed by His Majesty the King (the mayors of the hundred districts are generally elected by the villagers and formally approved by the king).

The status is equal and parallel, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and the salute between meeting each other is only polite, not compulsory.

Such a clearly stipulated distinction between high and low made the 100 district mayors who were happy just now talk about it one after another.
