Today's meeting must be held, but it is child's play, and Locke has not yet made it clear that he has the complete integrity of the country in his heart, and everyone here knows that His Majesty wants to reform, but they do not know how. And Locke hasn't told anyone what he's deep down, so he gave a specific plan...

Even Mormont himself was a little apprehensive, and although he claimed to be Locke's prime minister, he didn't know if Locke would adopt this cabinet system. The concept of the prime minister was revealed to him by Locke himself, and he explained the meaning of this sentence.

But on the issue of reform, Locke has already made a lot of drafts, and reform must be reformed, but it needs to be carried out from the top down, and he has also thought it through.

"Mario! Bring my manuscript! ”

The door to the closed cabinet hall opened from the outside, and Mario walked in with a group of royal guards, dragging trays of parchment scrolls. Placing the parchment scroll on Locke's table, the guards stepped out, but Mario stayed behind Locke, taking a few steps back, silent like a guard.

Closed scrolls, stamped with Locke's personal seal, were placed in front of Locke and stretched to Viscount Quart, who was at the end of the conference table.

"Times are different, Lordaeron is on the verge of perishing for some very important reasons, and we need to learn from our previous mistakes, so we need to reform the integrity of the country." After the opening remarks, Locke looked at the parchment on the table and continued, "You have supported me all the way to where I am today. But I hope you will continue to support me as I move Lordaeron into the future and pick up the glory that was lost in the past. ”

"I hope you can get acquainted with everyone's position as soon as possible and make a powerful help to our cause!" Locke casually glanced at the faces of his subordinates in the room, and then he picked up the top of the first parchment scroll and handed it to Mormont.

Although the latter was suspicious, he took the scroll very neatly in his hand, opened it slowly, and read it as he read it.

"According to the need for reform, in order to avoid a recurrence of the tragedies of the past... His Majesty Harvey decided to establish a Council of Ministers consisting of the newly created Ministries of Finance, Home Affairs, Agriculture and Civil Affairs, Justice, Defence, Trade, Industry and Commerce, Foreign Affairs and Propaganda, and Health and Education. The outcome of the Cabinet Council will be accountable to the King by a Chief Minister. ”

"Besides, the newly created Ministry of Magic is not part of the Imperial Cabinet."

When Mormont finished reading the contents of the scroll in his hand, everyone began to talk. Many of the new terms that Locke coined left them scratching their heads.

"Everyone! Times are really different from what they used to be! Locke slowly stood up, his hands propped on the huge conference table, and looked at the people around him. The old system of the past can no longer help us defeat the enemies of the future. And our enemy is an alien demon who can destroy us dozens of times! They are eyeing us under the Light! You know that I am the Guardian of the Light, and I have never said that I have missed anything. And everything I said before came true. ”

"In order to save us in the midst of future catastrophes, Lordaeron, reform! It has to go on! ”

The people looked at Locke in surprise, this was the first time they had heard such secret news from Locke's mouth! And this news made Nollis's brow furrow deeply.

"Bechiel Mormont... Sizzling,"

Suddenly hearing his title, Mormont was slightly disappointed, but quickly picked himself up and stood up, he wanted to leave his chair and half-kneel in front of Locke, but Locke stopped him.

"No need to do allegiance, we've all been through it with each other." Locke motioned for him to sit down, then opened the parchment, "Sir Beechelle Mormont, I appoint you as the first Prime Minister of the Imperial Council, First Minister of Finance, and First Minister of Agriculture and Administration!" ”

Although Locke had said that he did not need to bow allegiance, Mormont left his chair and knelt on the ground, and said solemnly, "Your sword is pointing in the direction of my progress!" ”

Monarchy. Cut, is Locke's tentatively settled Lordaeron road. He did not want his hard-earned career to come to naught in the hands of future generations, and hoped that Lordaeron would defeat his future enemies with his integration, so the monarchy and dictatorship were undoubtedly the best form of government in the context of the current era.

Locke got up and pulled Mormont up, then shifted his chair slightly, so that his seat was a little more away than his own, but at the center edge of such a large table.

Others don't understand the true meaning of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Council for the time being, but looking at Locke's actions, they understand a little...

"Shiloh Lucas..."Locke read the old prosecutor who had followed him for many years, and who no longer wore any of the iconic costumes of the Church of Light. Just a few days ago, without Lockedo saying anything, she had already made everything clear to Sally, relieved all official positions in the Church of the Holy Light, and officially entered Locke's administrative system as an ordinary believer.

Of course, this also caused an uproar within the Holy Light Church, but the iron law that the Holy Light Church cannot interfere with the royal power was pulled out by Locke. In the end, the old pastors who had a whisper could only bow their heads and shake helplessly. In fact, as Shiloh rises higher and higher within the Locke system, many discerning people can see that she will definitely leave the Church of Light in the future. It's just a matter of time, but if it's ordinary, low-ranking prosecutors and priests, probably no one will say anything. It's just that Shiloh is different from the others, her position in the Church of Light is too high... In this regard, some people are questioning her devotion to the Light, after all, this is indeed too unacceptable for the Church of the Light and the believers of the Light.

But in Locke's view, that's not a problem. Who regulates it? Followers of the Light can't be in any other trades? It's nothing more than that the identity of the bishop of the Hilo region is too scary, and this sense of ideological impact is too strong! In fact, the best way is to let Shiloh serve as the false position of the Holy Light Church on one side and the kingdom on the other, but this compromise method Locke is not willing to compromise. In the future, it may cause an irreparable situation, and the gains outweigh the losses!

“... Countess!"

But immediately after Locke read out the title of Shiloh, everyone was surprised to make a sound!

"I didn't want to pronounce your titles before your fiefs were allocated. But after thinking about it, I don't think it's necessary to hold a separate meeting like this later. Looking at the reserved smiles of the people around him, Locke said with a smile, "After all, you will be very busy in the future, and you are too busy to even have time to participate in such a meeting, so you will simply say it together." ”

"Nope! Your Majesty—" Mormont looked at Locke with a smile, "I think you still have to hold a knighthood ceremony in the throne room..."

"Oh?" Locke looked at him strangely, and the latter shook his head vaguely, then said with a smile, "You forgot that the adults who can come here to attend the meeting are only a handful of people..."

There is something in the words, Locke secretly speculated, secretly wrote down the question, and asked him when the meeting was over!

"Yes, yes, yes! How did I forget about the others! Locke snorted, then continued, "I've leaked your titles here in advance, and I hope you don't tell them yet. ”

"Countess Shiloh Lucas, Minister of Finance..."

"The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the revenue and expenditure of all departments, the administration of the revenue and expenditure of the Kingdom's internal taxes, the administration of the Kingdom's treasury, and the drafting and formulation of laws on finance, finance, taxation, etc. Formulate the work rules of the department and supervise the implementation. At the quarterly Cabinet Meeting, the Prime Minister and other members of the Cabinet are informed of the specific revenues and expenditures of the Prime Minister. Of course, I won't go into more specifics..."

"In addition, the Central Bank of Lordaeron has been officially established, Countess Lucas, and you are responsible for overseeing its operation, specific personnel..."

As he spoke, Locke pushed the pile of documents about the Treasury in front of him to Shiloh, who was in second place on the left. Locke continued, "Take your time, don't worry, there are explanations of all the functions of the Treasury Department, and all your doubts can be explained. ”

Then Locke looked at the others, "I know you all have a stomach full of questions, don't worry, the meeting is over, and the division of the department you belong to is completed." If you want to know the specific jurisdiction of each department, you can go to the Ministry of Justice to find out the specific situation. ”

"Count Berg Hansen, Minister of Civil Affairs and Administration for Agriculture..."

"In charge of the development and management of agricultural production, the demarcation of governments at all levels, the appointment of officials to manage the government at all levels, responsible for the evaluation and promotion of administrative officials, the assistance of the Prime Minister in the management of positive and negative at all levels, the formulation of policies for child welfare, protection of orphaned children, child adoption, child rescue and protection, etc., the formulation of administrative divisions, administrative area boundary management and geographical name management policies, the name of the standard is responsible for submitting to the Prime Minister for approval, responsible for the management of disputes between noble fiefs and the division of matters, the preparation of adventure groups, armed organizations, merchant groups and other civil organizations registration and supervision... Wait, wait! ”

Locke snorted and pushed the sheepskin scroll in his hand to Bergna on the right, "Look at it yourself, look at it, your responsibility is very heavy!" ”

"I'll read it word for word, Your Majesty." Berg pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, grabbed the plate of documents and looked at it, relaxed on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely excited! In fact, he was the most stressed, but also the least, because he had been doing jobs like this before. But this time, Locke handed over to him the selection of positive and negative personnel at all levels!

"Fairbanks..."Locke looked at the outermost part of the chamber with a toothache, the old prosecutor in a white priest's robe, a stubborn clergyman who was still unwilling to give up his position in the Church of the Light like Shiloh... So much so that you can't even mention the title or something, otherwise wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face on the issue of treating Shiloh?

"Tentatively, the Minister of Health and Education..."

"Responsible...."

Locke said a few words and pushed it all to him. But then again, Fairbanks and the Church of Light are actually the best fit for this department. Of course, in terms of education, there will definitely be aristocrats who oppose it, but in Locke's opinion, this is not a problem, and it is completely selective to teach...

"Viscount Stilwell Arnold, Minister of Commerce, Trade, Industry and Commerce..."

This Arnold was the former treasurer's deputy who followed Shiloh, who unearthed him and recommended him. He was in charge of trade and commerce under Shiloh at the time, and he also had a considerable interest in goblin technology. Of course, because of later reasons, his knighthood will naturally not be too high.

"Responsible for commercial development... Responsible for industrial development and research... Responsible for trade development..."

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Propaganda Department...

Locke looked at the rest of the people in the room with a toothache, Noris, Viscount Quayt, General Abydis Sr., Bridget, Hudson, and the rest of the military, of course, they didn't take it into account. In fact, the Scarlet Crusaders had little diplomacy ...

"Mormont, you are also the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Propaganda Department!"

In the end, Locke can only target Mormont, and in fact he is the only one who is best suited for the position. As for the First Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Minister of State Affairs, that is only a false claim. After all, sometimes, the prime minister can't carry out a lot of work without the support of these heavyweight departments!

"When you have the right person, replace you, or you can recommend it like me!"
