Chapter 89 Distribution of Benefits
In the bustling streets, the horse-drawn carriage shuttles smoothly without hurrying or slowing. The people who came and went looked at it with reverence, and in their minds, it must be the senior members of the parliament who are riding this size, and it may be the presidents of the council. Whether it is the prosperity of the federation or the better and better life of the people, this is inseparable from the parliament, and every member of the parliament deserves the respect and love of the people.
"Their eyes are obscured, the federation is ruled by the nobility, and the top families are the uncrowned kings. As long as the top families dare to abandon the sin of greed, thousands of years later, the Federation will still be under our control. Charon whispered that the people are easily satisfied, and compared with the unbearable past, they are now given a little autonomy that they deserve, and they continue to sing the praises of the parliament, which is only a puppet of the top families.
In the case of giving up part of the interests, the aristocracy has been hit a lot, but only the small and medium-sized nobles have fallen, and for the big nobles and top families, they have taken deeper roots in the federation in places that are invisible to the people, and their status has become more unshakable.
Renault was silent, he was a commoner and served the Del family, so he knew better that although commoners and nobles lived in the same space, they were in two different worlds. What the aristocracy had at their fingertips, the commoners were willing to pay with their lives, and in many cases did not have the opportunity to obtain them.
The Del family gave him everything, the resources of cultivation, wealth and power, and all he had to pay was loyalty and life, there were ups and downs in the past, and he cherished this opportunity. And this current head of the Del family, from silence to transformation, and then to the outbreak in the past few months, not only got rid of the fate of the head of the Del family, but also defeated many strong enemies, from the child who needs his protection and care, to the strong man who let him follow, it is simply a miracle as gorgeous as a meteor!
Due to the royal abdication, the outer area of the palace has become the office of the federal government, and the new Ardennes building serves as a place for parliamentary meetings. The six-storey building is unusually tall, the corridors in front are supported by gray-white marble columns, a row of sixteen columns, and in front of the pedestal are layers of steps, there are not many carvings on the building, but the atmosphere of simplicity and solemnity is blowing in the face.
After the carriage entered the palace, it went straight to the front of the building, and at this time there were many carriages parked in the square, and the parliamentarians got out of the carriage one by one, and the square seemed bustling. The legislators are here today to discuss reconciliation with the Flying Wing Kingdom and the relevant cooperation in various aspects after the settlement.
Some well-known reporters who were allowed to enter were pestering lawmakers one by one to listen to the latest blockbuster news, while the lawmakers were still talking and laughing, and only revealed some inconsequential news. The reporters were a little disappointed, but they still wrote down all the news carefully, and as long as the connection is good, it can also form big news.
The carriage carrying Charon did not stop, slowly bypassing the crowd and towards the side of the Ardennes building, where a keen and attentive young female reporter broke away from her companion and quietly followed.
Hiding in the corner, she looked over and saw that a large number of heavily armed soldiers had blocked the side passage, and in the distance, there was a row of carriages parked. On the carriage that had just entered, two people walked down, and one of them suddenly turned his head to look over, not knowing what was going on, and suddenly there was a tingling blur in front of him, and his usually proud eyesight lost its effect at this critical moment.
The female reporter rubbed her eyes, waited for her eyes to recover, and then looked over, the figures of the two people disappeared without a trace, and she didn't record the faces of the two people just now. So she stomped on the ground in annoyance, maybe an opportunity for a promotion and salary increase passed by her just now, the nasty wind and sand!
The circular hall was covered with a large red carpet with gold threads, and the intricate patterns converged into the coat of arms of the top family, which was divided into twenty-two directions, and each family coat of arms had an arch behind it.
The meetings of the Central Council are unfolding at the same time downstairs, and if the characteristics of brightness, openness, and light are displayed below, then the feeling here is only oppressive, terrifying, and solemn.
"Let's discuss internal matters within the federation first. A loud voice rang out like a bell, "The five families of George, Ackerman, Edlaide, Brian, and Sterling violated the supreme treaty of the Federation and colluded with the enemy country to besiege and kill the head of the Del family during the national war, and now the parliament will impose the most severe sanctions on them." ”
"Abolish the seats of five families, including 53 seats in the lower councils. ”
"Deprive his family of two-thirds of its assets. ”
"Break up and reorganize the 60,000 directly subordinate troops owned by the five families, confiscate all military equipment, and put it into the federal treasury. ”
Top families that violate the Supreme Treaty will be sanctioned by all families, mainly including political, economic, and military. Now the five major families without a great knight have been controlled, preventing them from launching a military mutiny, or transferring assets, and this time the Council of Authorities did not invite these five family heads, in fact, when the Charon battlefield was won, the five major families collapsed.
The Oldington family agreed. The Muan family agreed. The Dera family agreed. ”
A series of approvals, none of the families sympathized with the loser, and the knives and forks in the hands of the seventeen families present were glowing with coldness, all waiting for the moment when the sumptuous dinner began.
"Del family, agree. ”
Behind the arch, Charon sat on a throne carved out of silverstone, the icy color of which represented the ultimate authority, and Renault stood behind him.
"0 votes vetoed, all members passed the sanctions. "It's the one who speaks first, and the next thing is everyone's concern," in order not to cause turmoil, the lost responsibilities of the five major families will be borne by us, and then a new distribution will be made, and you can speak freely. ”
After the Lord of the House of Kupaul had finished speaking, the Council fell into a deathly silence, and no one was the first to speak, and everyone turned their eyes to an arch where the Lord of the House of Del was.
"The Del family can assume thirty seats in the lower council, including one chair seat. Charon's fingers tapped on the armrest, and the lower council was what the people called the central council, the authority that dealt with all aspects of the federal affairs on the surface.
The lower councils also play an important role for those of them in authority, occupying more seats, and can also influence things at the civil level, bringing more benefits to their own families. If the Del family could get more seats in the past, it could also tilt the policy towards the south to a certain extent, and the living standards in the south would not be pulled away by other regions as it is now.
Charon's young voice did not make people despise him, and the heads of the major families were all weighing in their hearts whether it was necessary to offend the Del family for a few seats, the Stirling family and the Del family started with a small contradiction, and finally evolved to the point of incompatibility.
To be honest, although Charon is not as big as a lion, he still asks for a little more seats, even the Paul family, which had the most seats before, only has 28 seats, not to mention that Charon also has a seat of parliament president. There are only four presidents in the lower councils, and one speaker carries more weight than ten ordinary councillors.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Charon's unquestionable voice came out again, "The Del family has never made their voice heard in the Parliament, and I don't think you will stand in the way of my wish." ”
In the past, the Del family did not get the right to speak, so they could only be trapped in the south alone and bury themselves in their own development. And this situation is exactly the good thing done by at least ten families present, the general trend was like this before, although the head of the Del family is strong, he is not deliberately reckless, but Charon is different, he has the strength not to swallow this breath!
The black ring on his hand shone with gold, and Charon's body erupted with an almost suffocating terrifying momentum, spreading into the other arches.
After a while, several top families who had been newly promoted in the past hundred years were the first to relent, "The Anlan family agreed. The Cllabane family agreed. ”
As one family after another opened their mouths, and the Paul family also agreed, even those families with big knights felt that they were weak, and they alone could not compete with Del, so the final result was also all passed.
The time has come for Del to enter the center and radiate his influence in all directions, and although he has been prepared in his heart, it is still depressing at this moment.
"The Del family was not well prepared in the early stage of this battle, and the losses were huge, coupled with the development of the new area, a lot of funds were needed to rebuild, and the assets of the five major families were confiscated, and one-third of the assets of the five major families were needed in the south. ”
"No, all walks of life are developing rapidly, and there is a huge gap in what is needed, and we can't just take care of the south. ”
With the first compromise, the second compromise became simpler, and although it was a while of arguing, it was finally set at a quarter of the confiscated assets, which was the price that Charon was prepared for, and now the south had enough funds for industrial transformation, so as not to cut the investment in military expenses and weaken its own strengths.
After Charon got what he wanted, he sat idle and watched the competition of the major families, for the remaining seats, assets, and the armies and equipment of the five major families, the major families did their best, but the families who got the most were those families with big knights, and the new families in the past ten hundred years could only wait for the next round to compete for the last left.
Strength is the factor that determines everything!
