Chapter 761: Reform 3

"Well," said Mormont, smiling helplessly, and smiling at Locke in front of everyone, "will I receive four salaries?" ”

"Oh, this one can have it. As long as your work satisfies me. Locke touched his nose and shoved the pile of parchment in front of him to him, "See for yourself, I won't say anything." ”

"Count Lotralkit!" When Locke said Quite's title, the excited former president of the Lordaeron Noble Council clenched his hands excitedly!

"Minister of Justice!"

"I need to remind you, Earl Quart, that this revision of our law in Lordaeron is unprecedented, and each department has relevant laws that will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice, and I hope that there will be no confusion among the law enforcement agencies under the Ministry of Justice."

"But Your Majesty," said Quart, with some stumbling words, "what about the current Council of Nobles?" Your newly established departments cover almost all the functions of the Council of Nobles"

The legislative, financial, executive, financial and administrative supervision, and diplomatic powers have all been taken away, leaving only the defense power. But looking at Locke's division in such detail, Quett Jue had no doubt that it was impossible for Locke to hand over the defense power to the Noble Council, and it was still a question whether the Noble Council could exist.

"The Council of Nobles will be retained, but its membership will be expanded. All nobles with the title of baron or above will join them. At the same time, the Council of Nobles will be renamed the House of Lords. "For this issue that all the nobles are more concerned about, Locke naturally has another way to dilute the damage that the nobles may cause in the future.

"The House of Lords is independent of the Cabinet Council, and the main function of the House of Lords is to examine the new Lordaeron Constitutional Laws and to vote on the laws of the Kingdom enacted by other branches of the Council, which are approved by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and then handed over to the law enforcement agencies under the Ministry of Justice. The House of Lords has the power to supervise the enforcement of the law by the administrative law enforcement agencies under the Ministry of Justice. At the same time, the House of Lords has certain legislative power to make recommendations, and when the vote is passed, the relevant draft laws are drafted by the Royal Council Department, submitted to the House of Lords for approval, and then submitted to the Ministry of Justice for implementation. The House of Lords will assume the functions of the highest judicial body of the Kingdom. ”

"There's a lot more specific," Locke put down the parchment on one of the plates. "As I said, this reform is all-encompassing, and if you have any doubts, read more detailed literature afterwards. You've got all the materials in the office courtyard where Dragonkeep belongs. ”

"You can come to me, too."

Quett was a little confused, as a representative of the old aristocracy, Locke's remarks really made him a little unacceptable. Many new terms and methods have made his brain, which has limited knowledge, a little down.

"Duke Alfred Abydis"

The air fell silent, and all eyes were on Old Abidis at Locke's side

Duke! His Majesty has said more than once that non-royal families will not grant the title of duke in the future! But this is the crowd turning their heads to look at old Abydis

This is also the first time in so many years that a new Duke has appeared!

Locke turned his head and looked at his father-in-law, who was sitting first on his right, and he smiled awkwardly. Although Bridget had promised him that old Abidis would not be angry for breaking away from the ranks. But Locke tried to ask, "Secretary of Defense, rank General." ”

"Alas" all these years have passed, and a layer of white silk has stubbornly drilled out of old Abidis's black hair, and the wrinkles on his face have also been raised layer by layer. If it weren't for his daughter's repeated requests for him to leave the army and break away from the army in the Hand of Tyre region

He sighed again, and picked up the scrolls on the plate in front of Locke.

"The functions of the Ministry of Defense are to manage all the armed forces of the kingdom, responsible for recruitment, equipment, training, military research and development, the establishment and training of officer academies, the promotion of officers and soldiers in the army, and salary adjustments, etc. Duke Abydis, see for yourself."

As in the previous life, the Ministry of Defense did not have military command, which is also where the old Abidis was reluctant.

Locke didn't dare to say anything more

"Count Noris, Morningstar" Noris, who was becoming more and more silent, quietly fixed her blue gaze on him, "Minister of the Interior"

"Responsible for protecting and maintaining the security of the kingdom, cracking down on crimes in the kingdom, supervising the performance of other departments, etc."

"The garrison corps in various places were abolished, and some of them were incorporated into the Ministry of Defense and became subordinate agencies of this department. Part of it broke away from the army and merged into the Ministry of the Interior to form the Rapid Reaction Force of the Ministry of the Interior. ”

"All the sheriffs in the kingdom have changed their names," Locke paused and continued, "Police! The police departments at all levels are formed, with the same functions as before, and the responsibilities are gradually reported to the higher levels, which are under the responsibility of the Royal Police Agency, which is under the management and leadership of the Ministry of the Interior. ”

"The main departments under the Ministry of the Interior are, the Kingdom Security Service, the Kingdom Police Agency, the Rapid Reaction Force of the Ministry of the Interior, the Kingdom Inspectorate, etc.!"

Wow! Now everyone is in a bit of a commotion!

If this department is divided according to rights, it is undoubtedly a very powerful department! Supervise all departments at the same level, which is equivalent to being one level higher than other departments out of thin air! Moreover, it has its own army?! It is also responsible for policing and fighting crime?!

Everyone looked at Noris, although they were all Locke's subordinates, and they had been mentally prepared before, but it was still beyond their hearts for this elf to occupy such a high position in human society!!

For a while, no one spoke

Locke didn't wait for them, and he didn't have time for them to digest it.

"For the time being, the departments participating in the Imperial Council will be divided in this way, and as the kingdom develops, other problems will inevitably arise, and if necessary, the Prime Minister will propose to me that other departments be added."

"Oh, yes!" Locke paused and looked at Mormont and said, "Speaker of the House of Lords, Sir Mormont is up to you. Count Quit, you are the Vice-Speaker. I will participate in the deliberations of the House as Honorary Speaker. ”

"Then I will be able to receive an extra salary from Your Majesty," Mormont said with a wry smile.

"That's it!" Locke slapped his face vigorously, waking everyone up from the literature or the stunned, "Everyone, this is your task for a long time to come. ”

"I know it's hard, a lot of adults need to start from scratch, but it's hard at the beginning. When there are rules to be found, the work will be very smooth. And you may not have noticed," Locke smiled and encouraged all the ugly faces present, "you and I are the founders of this system, and your names will always be mentioned in the future, forever." ”

"I suggest that you don't rush yet, first read the specific scope of work of your department by yourself, and form a personal staff team as soon as possible to build the shelves of the department you belong to. Oh, and in terms of policy interpretation, the staff who helped me formulate the policies of these departments are already in your own office, and they will be your powerful assistants. ”

"Finally, I would like to say that if there is a need for a candidate for a senior post in each department, you can nominate a candidate, and submit it to the Earl of Berg's Administrative Department for review and approval, and then the Prime Minister will review and confirm it, and then the Home Office will review it, and then I will sign it. Otherwise, the senior personnel of each department shall be screened and evaluated by the Ministry of Government Affairs and provided to all departments. ”

"So! Let's get busy, I hope you adults can give me good news as soon as possible!" Locke smiled and watched everyone walk out of the conference hall with a dark face.

Get busy, get busy. It's best if you can make it, but it doesn't matter if you can't. The whole of Lordaeron is now a blank slate, and if you can get it right, then a smooth transition. If it doesn't work, then improve it and still return to the centralized and feudal system of the past. Anyway, at this stage, the benefits and benefits of these departments have never been felt by the people at the bottom, and now the positive and negative operations of the grassroots are still like the feudal model in the past, and this model has not yet been applied. That's enough time for you adults to toss!

At this time, groups of attendants also appeared outside the door, leading them towards their respective office departments.

Locke watched their backs leave one by one and was silent for a long time, sitting in place without any movement. But in my head, I kept thinking about whether this thing was done right or wrong. Is it appropriate to thoroughly push a feudal society in which the means of production and materials have been preliminarily perfected to a capitalist society? After all, the social productive forces that restrict social development are no longer much of a problem for Azeroth. The deformed development of technology, as well as the existence of magical energy, make it possible for farmers to leave the land and enter the factory of the future! It's almost a visible change!

If nothing else, there are already simple small mechanized harvesters made by goblins using machine tools and assembly lines on the market today! With the gradual stabilization of society, food has gradually become a shortage of materials in the current society. Instead, people enjoy the good life

Locke had read the financial statements handed over by Shiloh, and since last month, Eva's taxes have begun to increase significantly. Among them, the commercial tax accounts for almost 100, the people's consumption tax alone accounts for more than half, and the rest is the real estate transaction tax and trade tax! Among them, the categories of consumption tax are also focused on food consumption and clothing!

Before people know it, they have begun to change their habits! This is also due to the operation of goblin factories and some human factories in Iva where goods are becoming cheaper and cheaper, but also some farmers unconsciously leave the land.

In Iva there are new inns and breweries opening almost every day, and countless people wander the fields and small towns and villages, buying and selling the grain of the peasants, which is used to make wine or pressed into flour to make other fine food.

The market economy will not be cheating, and there will be production only when there is demand.

Because of his policy of aristocratic fiefdoms in the past, Locke got the news that a very small number of shrewd little nobles had begun to try to enter the business field, and because of the advantages of their own status, they had achieved great success. This made the nobles who were grief-stricken by the news that Locke had decided to take the territory a little confused, and their long-standing fascination with the land made them unable to reflect the mystery for a while.

Locke had thought about it countless times in his mind, and every time he deduced a change in the system, he always felt that changing the current model of Lordaeron would be of great help to the enemies of Azeroth in the future. Even for Lordaeron to unify the human kingdom is not impossible.

But the problem is not without it, on the contrary, the problem is huge
