Chapter 239: The people of a city are struggling with their brains
Plop!
Falk was full of disbelief as he listened to the news from his subordinates and muttered, "This...... This...... How is this possible!"
"My lord, the news is true, the news from the City Lord's Mansion this morning has been published together with the Ball City Council Act and the Security Services Detention Persons Act. ”
A middle-aged man bent down slightly and responded, his family has been the city official of Xiliu City for a long time, and now he is the head of Fokker's Chamber of Commerce, his words are absolutely credible, this is the absolute henchman of Fokker, listening to the affirmative tone, the two delicate beards are slightly upturned, giving people a shrewd and credible feeling.
"What does the bill say?" asked Faulk eagerly.
"Regarding the city council of Bol City, it should be modeled on the form of the Congress, and a city council should be set up to jointly manage the large and small government affairs of Bol City, the specific details have not yet been announced, as for the security department, the temporary external announcement is to crack down severely!" The middle-aged man said softly with a slight squint in his eyes.
Fakker listened carefully to the bills.
His fingers couldn't help but start tapping on the tabletop, a habit that Faulk had as he pondered, and the rhythmic percussion seemed to give his brain enough energy to think.
"This is a compromise from the City Lord's Mansion!"
In Faulk's mind, the first thing crossed was that the City Lord's Mansion had finally compromised.
The Dick fat man finally faced up to the views of the upper class, and his swift and terrible political blows caused a series of panics in the upper class, and the merchant aristocracy, including Fokk, was ready to die.
Dealing with a group of nobles, this is the hammer of the Security Act, representing the absolute majesty of Dick. And the next "City Council" released enough goodwill, beating a stick and giving a handful of dates, which undoubtedly means that this Dick has compromised.
"No! It's not that simple......"
From the beginning of this political storm to the present, every detail echoes in his mind, and Boer City has always shown the strongest posture and will never compromise so easily.
Political compromise is by no means as simple as admitting intimidation, and compromise is a very skillful means.
An excellent politician must learn to compromise, not only to know how to advance and retreat, but more importantly, to measure it.
Just like Boer City, if Boer City really compromised, the "City Council" he proposed would almost put a chain around his neck, and the gains outweighed the losses.
This stupidity of drawing the ground as a prison is not something that a shrewd fat man would do.
Look at one thing, look at it comprehensively. From the point of view of starting to the result, one-sided observation of something may end up with a fatal mistake.
Like this political storm.
What was the reason for the launch of the city of Bol?
Although it seems that this storm came very suddenly, without warning, it almost swept away a group of nobles with a thunderbolt, and the effect of this abrupt suppression was huge, and for a while, the upper class of Boer City was panicked.
But if you look closely, you can see a hidden purpose of this political storm.
Punish someone as a warning to others!
The thought naturally popped into Faulk's head.
The city lord's mansion chose to make waves when the upper class collectively attacked someone, which was a subtle expression of dissatisfaction. When will I do things in the City Lord's Mansion, and it will be your turn to point fingers?
Looking at it at a deeper level, from the standpoint of the aristocracy, Fokker is definitely a "killing chickens and monkeys", making all the nobles put away their small actions.
So here's the problem.
Since the City Lord's Mansion made such a big move in order to suppress the nobles, in the end, he came up with another "City Bill", isn't this a slap in the face?
"There's got to be something wrong here!" Falk rubbed his head, absolutely sure.
..................
In fact, it's not just Falk who is very nerve-wracking, but the current Boer City, the people in this city are very nerve-wracking.
The emissary of the Valen family is nerve-wracking.
Norman kept rubbing his forehead, and the excessive rubbing made his head red, but he still didn't know what to do, and he was thinking about it.
"What kind of medicine is sold in this city lord's gourd?!"
As a nobleman with a normal mind, Norman knew that as a nobleman, especially the nobleman who ruled the party, what they wanted was absolute power, otherwise why did Magnolia try his best to suppress the local lords every year, and the local lords fought against the central government in all sorts of ways?
Plainly.
It is for the sake of power, and the nobles' pursuit of power is already like the sun rising from the east in Norman's heart, which is the law of nature and the nature given by the gods.
Now.
What does this Boer city mean when it says it wants to make a "city bill"? Take the initiative to delegate power to the nobles.
A nobleman who voluntarily gives up his rights is like seeing a vegetarian tiger, how is this possible!
Norman is not one of those teenage girls, naively thinking that the city lord's mansion is going to make some kind of democracy and concessions, politics is not civilized and polite, politics is a silent battlefield, sometimes you die or I live.
Haven't you seen the Maple Leaf family, which has hundreds of inheritances?
In the brutal political struggle, Felix lost, so his century-old family disappeared.
In the political arena, there are only the victors who give haughty to the losers, and there are never virgins and gentlemen.
Norman was annoyed.
However, what he is worried about is not what kind of political system Boer City will have in the future, it has nothing to do with him, what he cares about is what kind of attitude the city lord's mansion reveals from this matter.
Is it close to the Wallen, or is it outright hostile?
It stands to reason that the city of Bol has a city council, which coincides with the proposal of the Congress.
It seems okay to say that Dick supported the Valen family to carry out reforms and honored Weiss as the Grand Duke!
But is that really the case?
Norman himself knew what the original purpose of the Reichstag was to limit the rights of the Grand Duke, and to the rights of the nobles themselves. And the city bill of Bol City, this is decentralization!
These are two different things.
In essence, the bill of Parliament was "from below", and the aristocracy was at the bottom, and they were the rebels.
And the Bol City Bill is "above put down", the city lord's palace is in an absolute position, and they are the owners of the rights.
So.
The message revealed in this news is whether to support Congress or not?
............
It's not just Falk and Norman, a decree that makes a city white.
The various nobles began to speculate about this decree in fear, for fear that it was a gentle trap, in case they stood up and agreed, and the City Lord's Mansion would give them a knife backhand, so what should they do.
Time.
Boer City has fallen into a rare period of calm. [.]
