Chapter 668: Breaking the Hearts of Descendants

"It may not be too good," said Viscount Quat awkwardly, "the Magistrates are to them... Probably not much of an appeal. They all pushed the children of their own families who had no possibility of inheriting the title to the council..."

"Hehe, they'll regret it in the future." Locke could only say with a smile.

Ever since he had the possibility of becoming king, Locke had been thinking about a system that would suit Lordaeron, but with the ability to ensure the continuation of the royal family and not be as dangerous as the Minethil family.

The government officer system is a change in the domestic system of Lordaeron planned by Locke in the future, aiming to allow the nobles who are government officials to participate in the decision-making of the kingdom or participate in the decision-making and other tasks. And these are the areas under the jurisdiction of the current noble council.

To put it bluntly, Locke is trying to expand the number of members of the council. It can no longer be like the previous noble council, where only a few nobles play on their own.

After all, the existing council of nobles has a huge power, so to speak, only for the king of the kingdom.

Locke had not had time to understand, nor did he want to know, the specific work of the Council of Nobles. But when he was about to become king, he found that the power of the noble council was too great compared to those in his previous life!

There are several major powers in the noble council.

First, legislative power. That is, to exercise the power to enact, amend, and repeal laws in accordance with legal procedures.

Second, fiscal power. That is, to supervise the government's fiscal revenue and expenditure through the examination of the fiscal bill.

Third, executive power. Establish all levels of government and appoint officials to manage all levels of government to assist the king in administering the country.

Fourth, the power of administrative supervision. That is, the administrative units at all levels of the Kingdom that supervise beyond the power of financial supervision.

Fifth, protect the rights and interests of the aristocracy. Protection of noble titles from the smooth legal succession, as well as the trial of nobles who violate the laws of the kingdom.

Sixth, limited defense and diplomatic powers. Deploy troops to defend against enemies who invade the kingdom and assume certain diplomatic responsibilities.

Taken together, it was the highest decision-making body of the king's government. At the same time, it also manages various decision-making including internal affairs, defense, and foreign affairs. The main thing is that it also controls the legislation ...

To put it more simply! The Council of Nobles! It is the highest decision-making body, both manipulating legislation and managing the executive!!

At first, Locke was surprised when he saw it, but it dawned on him! No wonder Varian Ureon and others... These kings of Azeroth, they can wave everywhere.

Of course, that's why Stormwind can make a mess of Onexia..... It turned out that there was such a noble council that was similar to the cabinet and parliament of England that Locke had seen in his previous life.....

So Locke, after thinking about it for a few days, decided to split the Council of Nobles ....

To be honest, with such a powerful aristocratic council, Locke was very uneasy. Locke wanted to form a cabinet in the future, which was to strip most of the functions of the aristocratic council.

Even if they will be loyal to him in the future, Locke is still not at ease, this is a suspicion that goes deep into the soul.

What Locke wanted to do was to completely draw the power of the nobility to the center of the kingdom, instead of continuing to practice the feudal system as in the past. Lordaeron's past proves that the feudal system is a disaster for the kingdom of humanity in turbulent times. No, to be exact, it was a disaster for the royal family at the time.

When the central government is weak and the local area is strong, it is very likely that an ambitious lord like Locke will appear. As a passer-by, Locke naturally wants to avoid this situation in the future.

After all, he has walked such a road, and future generations may follow along with the gourd painting scoop again? So even for the sake of future generations, Locke must arrange this kind of thing in advance!

Based on this idea, it was imperative to completely split the noble council. Because most of the feudal system is based on the interests of this group of people and even these people of the king. For the sake of future generations, Locke could naturally make moves to limit the royal power, in fact, he just didn't do it, and with the development of the times, this trend will come sooner or later.

Luckily, Locke had a good reference object. In Locke's previous life, there was one country where the royal family continued in this way. Although the rights are limited, isn't it more important to be able to maintain life, status and wealth?

Therefore, it was necessary to split the power of the noble council and form a highly centralized cabinet from it. Reducing the rights held by the noble council and expanding the number of seats in the noble council, dividing all fiefdoms that were not nobles in Lordaeron into provinces and counties.

When the territory was divided into provinces, counties, and towns, nobles who were administrative officials were appointed to administer it. At the same time, a portion of the nobles who were also political officials would enter the enlarged Council of Nobles.

Locke's purpose in establishing the system of government officials was here, and the gradual elimination of the feudal system inevitably required other things to attract the attention of the aristocracy. It would certainly be attractive to them to use the magistrates to attract the nobility while giving them access to the noble council and participating in the formulation of the kingdom's laws.

The cabinet above Parliament is the king's siblings, and the ministers of the cabinet will implement Locke's ideas. But Locke doesn't plan to have a prime minister, at least for the time being, until he changes his mind. What's more, there are no suitable candidates now.

This top-down reform is very huge, and Locke will probably have to do things with this goal for the rest of his life. It will take at least a few decades for people to gradually get used to these new rules.

Locke had already thought about how to go in the future of Lordaeron, if it was just to change the domestic political situation, in the current society where productivity is still low, then this model has no soil for survival. Quite simply, most of the nobility at this stage live on taxes from the land. If there is no land, it means that there is no means of making a living, so why should the aristocracy support this system? They are expected to overthrow their rule soon, and at that time, not to mention them, their own people will pull themselves down.

Political changes, the expansion of the council of the nobility, the establishment of a system of magistrates, and their participation in the administration of the government were only to tie them to their chariots. It is not enough to rely on political compromise when it comes to their survival. How to let them live comfortably after leaving the land is a problem that Locke needs to consider.

Then, the industrial revolution that Locke has been thinking about and looking forward to has the soil for existence. In the past, Locke still had some doubts about whether to fully enter the industrial revolution, after all, this is the world of the High Devil, and if he couldn't get a warning from Azeroth when the Industrial Revolution was underway, he had to end miserably, which was too big a blow for Lordaeron.

But after Locke came up with a new helicopter and a new radio with enhanced signals, there was no warning or anything like that. After Locke unified all the industrial standards of Iva engineering, these technologies that were far ahead of their time seemed to be easily realized. It wasn't a miracle like locking up the tech tree as Locke had expected.

After making up his mind, Locke decided that he couldn't give it a try. After all, only the advent of industrialization could solve the problem of the survival of the aristocracy. Moreover, influenced by his previous life, Locke also subconsciously believed that industrialization could greatly improve productivity and produce greater value with a very small number of people.

At that time, the surplus productive forces will be freed from the land, more manpower will be invested in other industries, and industry will be further liberated, thereby increasing the national power and other aspects of the kingdom as a whole.

This cycle will continue until the Industrial Revolution is completely successful.

At that time, their own political system will be fully adapted to the contemporary industrial revolution society, and they will protect the existence of the royal family, and such a political system can continue.

That's what Locke wants to do, and as he thinks, why not try to change it if he has the ability? Anyway, he can't see how it will develop....

Of course, the deepening of industrialization must also be accompanied by the implementation of an education system. Knowledge was in the hands of the aristocracy, which constrained the development of the Industrial Revolution.

In the past, civilians only learned the alphabet when they were young, in the Sunday school of the Church of the Light, and many could only write their own names and recognize the names of some daily necessities.

This needs to be changed in the future, and the deepening of industrialization will inevitably require a large number of talents, and the popularization of knowledge is naturally necessary. Engineering, medicine, arcane doctrines, holy light doctrines, and other knowledge related to daily life should be taught in large quantities.

Although the industrialization of Iva began, it was started by relying on the petrochemical industry of the goblins. But it cannot be denied that this will bring great pollution. The reason why the goblins moved into the mountains was because of the protest of the druids of Azeroth. The establishment of the Ivadruid district also has a lot to do with this.

Of course, knowledge can be taught selectively....

Naturally, Locke did not want his future descendants to be overthrown. In the future the Cabinet represented the interests of the king and the kingdom. As society develops, the council of nobles may slowly split. Perhaps it would split into two houses, the upper house representing the interests of the nobles and the lower house representing the interests of the commoners. Locke also pinned his hopes on this method, so that the capitalists at that time would exploit the common people less, so that they would not end up cutting off the heads of his children and grandchildren...

The reason for teaching the Arcane Doctrine and the Sacred Optics Theory is that in Locke's vision, the future industrial revolution in Iva would not be limited to the petrochemical industry. After all, Azeroth has a lot of clean energy, such as the Light...

This can be said to be absolutely pollution-free energy! When he killed Banazar some time ago, Locke asked the priests of the Holy Light Church to try to introduce the Holy Light into the wizard's forbidden magic array, and the result was naturally feasible, Banazar was controlled in the forbidden magic array and could not escape.

This gives Iva a choice for the industrial revolution and points out a new way forward!

So, since the Holy Light can be channeled, then the druid's life energy will continue to regenerate, can it be used as a special energy source?

In the wizard's arcane, although the arcane energy is not as stable as the Holy Light, it has a strong and continuous energy output. Another branch of engineering, where many of the gnomes have arcane cores on their machinery, which are fully powered by arcane power, and may be slightly less powerful than petrochemical engines, but are superior to cleanliness and very low corrosive pollution.
