Chapter 216: Reducing Military Spending
The Tianhan Kingdom was founded for too short, relying on beautiful propaganda and forcible suppression by force, plus there was no deep foundation, and the foundation was not very stable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially those nobles, as soon as they found out that there was any decline in the Tianhan Kingdom, they immediately seemed to be doing something, after all, the Tianhan Kingdom stepped on the corpses of countless feudal nobles, and it was normal to be hostile.
In the face of these riots, the government can only suppress them by force, but the development center of Cheonhan Kingdom is in Hyosung, and the rest of the places have not allocated a lot of funds, and the transportation system is very rudimentary, not to mention that these rioters are still hidden among the civilians, and there is no way to use many means.
The emperor is far away, and it is impossible for the central government to control all the places, and once these remote areas and the government departments composed of gray people act as an umbrella for the remnants of the nobility, it will be extremely difficult to eliminate them.
At this time, the military minister of parliament proposed to increase military spending and expand the number of troops for rehabilitation and law and order.
Of course, this is also a big expense, and it is a burden for the Tianhan Kingdom, which is in urgent need of development at present.
The ministers who held two views also quarreled over this, but the ministers who increased military spending accounted for the majority, and many of them were promoted during the war, relying on toughness and radicalism.
On the other hand, there were many things that were promoted during the war, but they were more supportive of the ideas put forward by His Majesty the Emperor when he left, and according to the trend of the parliament, if the military budget was increased, it would be even more difficult to bring it down after rehabilitation.
There are also ministers with other views, only a very small minority, and the two sides have their own opinions, but the ruling still depends on voting, and finally it can only take effect by Her Royal Highness the Queen's signature and seal.
Because the ministers who are in charge of raising military spending account for the majority, and a large number of incidents have been listed, which have attracted many oppositionists, and Her Royal Highness generally rarely asks about the resolutions they vote on, this matter seems to be a certainty.
But at this moment, Her Royal Highness the Queen on the stage of the parliament hall suddenly stood up, and the ministers on the tables and chairs were confused, and they didn't know who shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
The ministers stood up and turned around, and the entire council hall fell silent.
"What's the matter, leave me alone, keep voting." Lin Xiao, who was standing at the door, said with a smile and slowly walked towards the stage.
"Welcome back to Your Majesty!" After the ministers saluted Lin Xiao, they sat down and continued to vote as before, but the person who signed and sealed it had been replaced by Lin Xiao.
On the big screen on the stage, all the data displayed has been displayed.
Those who supported the increase in military spending: 814
Those who opposed the increase in military spending: 160
Abstaining: 26
According to the usual practice, the guards sent the proposal file to the stage, and after Lin Xiao signed and sealed, they discussed the details of the military increase.
Under the gaze of thousands of ministers, Lin Xiao picked up a seal and stamped it.
Seeing this scene, the ministers in the front row were stunned, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Lin Xiao, who had stamped his seal, raised his head and spoke into the microphone: "I announce that the draft of the military expenditure increase will not be passed. ”
"In addition, due to the huge military expenditure caused a great burden to my Tianhan, it is urgent to reduce military spending, and I hereby propose a draft of military spending."
Even the few ministers in the front row, as well as the vast majority of the ministers in the back who didn't know, were stunned.
It is already surprising to deny the increase in military spending, but what is surprising is that military spending has to fall even if it does not rise.
If this happened in most countries, the proposal would definitely be opposed, but after a round of voting, there were more than 900 supporters, none of whom objected, and the rest abstained.
Lin Xiao did not comment on this result, and this meeting ended quickly, and we will discuss how to reduce military spending tomorrow.
Returning home, in the car, Lin Xiao quietly looked at the chocolate beside her, her current temperament is much more mature than before, and even her upright big belly is smaller.
There was no communication between the two sides, and the atmosphere became extremely weird, and Chocolate finally seemed to be unable to hold back, bowing her head and saying, "It's a girl." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to ask before, it was because he didn't see the child, and now he can finally rest assured when he gets the answer.
"What about the child's name?" Lin Xiao asked softly.
"Vanilla."
“……”
"That's the nickname, I saw it when I gave birth to her, I wanted to use it as a nickname, but it always feels weird......"
"So you haven't had a name yet?" Lin Xiao shook his little chocolate hand, the latter's cheeks were slightly red, and he replied, "I want to wait for you to come back." ”
Lin Xiao looked helpless, he hated naming the name the most, and said: "Since you like Xiangzilan, it is better to call it Lin Zilan." ”
"Well, that's it." Chocolate smiled.
In a certain palace, a newborn baby girl sneezed, and the maid on the side was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the bottle and trotted over, "Your Royal Highness the princess, what's wrong with you, don't catch a cold!" ”
……
The emperor's special car drove all the way and had arrived at the palace, Lin Xiao did not deal with government affairs, and walked in the direction of the harem with chocolate, he planned to see his daughter who had not yet seen him, it was more than government affairs.
As soon as Lin Xiao took a few steps, he heard a series of footsteps, and couldn't help but stop, only to see several ministers hurriedly chasing after him from behind.
Looking at these, Lin Xiao immediately reacted, weren't they the same group of people who abstained from the previous council?
"What's the matter, you guys have something to look for me?"
"Don't dare." The sergeant minister at the head bowed his head and whispered.
Looking at their hesitant appearance, Lin Xiao said angrily: "If you have something, just say it." ”
After getting permission, the sergeant minister said: "Your Majesty is not here for this time, and you may not know much about domestic affairs, and the minister said bluntly, now the remnants of the Gray Star feudalism have rebelled, and they have also robbed the arsenal, forming a large force, and reducing military spending at this time will give them a chance to breathe!" ”
"When the time comes, it will not be as easy as it is now."
"I know a little bit about this." Lin replied that although he was a little dissatisfied with the sergeant's minister's admonition, he still supported it.
It is not his will to make the court his hall, then he makes a mistake, it will be a disaster for the Tianhan Kingdom, otherwise the parliament will not appear.
"Since I want to do this, there is a reason for it, and you will know tomorrow." Lin Xiao didn't want to explain anything, he still had to go to see his daughter, how could he have the time and mood to explain to these ministers, he just needed to tell them that he knew the situation.
Although Lin Xiao didn't reveal any information, his answer made these ministers satisfied enough to leave immediately.
Entering the dormitory, the maids were not as busy as they imagined, Lin Zilan, who was a baby, was still lazy, eating and sleeping every day, waking up and eating, not crying or making trouble, it was simply the best baby to take care of.
Lin Xiao, who came to the crib for the first time, looked at Lin Zilan in the quilt and was slightly stunned.
It's actually a cat lady?
Lin Xiao was a little surprised, according to his expectations, his daughter should be purely human, but this is not bad, and it looks very cute.
He gently stroked Lin Zilan's forehead, who was sleeping, then withdrew his hand, got up and left, and the doting-looking chocolate was left there.
Lin Xiao has just come back, and there are still many things to deal with, especially the draft of reducing military spending, some things need to be retained, and some things need to be cut, since he proposed it, he naturally needs to deal with it.
"However, those remnants of the nobility have really caused me a lot of trouble......"
