Chapter 123: Guild Reform I
At the end of the fourth year of the Emperor's reign, at the age of 22, Bert Harvey was forced to become the president of the Assassins' Guild. Although this is a bit inexplicable www.biquge.info Bert still wants to take care of the Assassin Guild that this friend cares about very much. Anyway, according to Wu Xian's intentions, he had already informed Erin and Jingwei with the teleportation circle, and it shouldn't be long before they returned. And I don't have a place to go for the time being, so I simply live here. It may not be good to be the president, but you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
On his first day in office, Bert made several appointments. Since most of the previous Elders have fallen, the only remaining Elder has submitted an abdication petition and is now a regular member of the Assassins' Guild. Bert decided to have a vice president above the elders under the president, and this vice president was naturally Frank. According to Bert's own thinking, the president and vice president have exactly the same powers, and can exercise all the rights of the president in the guild. This order made all the Assassins begin to accept the "kidnapped" president.
The second order was to appoint Wuham and Vasily as elders of the Assassins' Guild and to take charge of all matters within the Guild until Bert became familiar with the Guild. Since the last civil strife in the guild, there have been many defections from the top ranks, and in this case, it is not inappropriate for Witchham and Vasily, as Frank's most loyal subordinates, to now make them elders. Under the second order, Bert also made a note about the appointment of Princip. Although he had resigned from his position as elder, he was treated as an elder in the Sanhedrin, but he did not exercise the obligations of an elder.
The third order, with immediate effect, is that the Assassins' Guild will be renamed the Brotherhood. And recruit people with lofty ideals externally, and at the same time carry out a large-scale behavioral requirements reform for the guild. There was not much disagreement with the name change, after all, it was only a difference in the name, but everyone was a little dissatisfied with the reform demanded by Bert for the behavior of the members.
Take one of them, "From now on, all members of the Brotherhood are not allowed to accept assassination, theft, kidnapping, etc. "In the past, although the Assassin Guild had similar orders, basically the upper echelons turned a blind eye, after all, the Assassin Guild needed to survive, and the members also had to survive. And this kind of task is the biggest, if this financial road is cut off, the guild's next road may be very difficult. And seeing what this president means is that this command must be carried out.
Regarding this matter, the two elders also joined forces to visit the new official who had taken office as the president of the three fires.
"President, I don't think it's going to be easy to spread this directive. Wu Xian had been in the Assassin Guild for decades, so he naturally understood how much this order would reduce the guild's oil and water. Although Bert only forbade the members to take jobs privately, and most of the money went into the members' own pockets, in fact, this was also a way for guild members to survive. If you just give it inexplicably and don't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it won't work below.
"Oh, why not?" Bert raised an eyebrow, learning that Elder Sim was drinking the guild's dragon well with a pot in his hand. Elder Vasily's eyelids jumped slightly, of course he knew the value of this dragon well, but he didn't know how he found this batch of inventory, so he actually swaggered out and drank it. It's just that he is now the president, so he naturally has the right to use all the resources in the guild... Vasily could only grit his teeth and pretend that he didn't see it.
"It's... In previous years, the members of the guild were self-reliant, and although the guild would have some more or less subsidies, the expenses for the guild were not too large. If you cut off their source of funding, we won't be able to sustain them. Wu Xian secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, why didn't this Bert look like he was the president of the ticket they kidnapped, but like he was designed in advance? This thing can't be sent by the Praetorian Guard to deliberately bring down the Assassins' Guild, right?
"Oh, that's it, I thought it was a big deal. Bert spat out the tea leaves that he drank into his mouth, and Vasily's heart ached again. If it weren't for him trying to find a way to make a profit for the guild, it is estimated that Vasily would have scolded him.
"It's a very simple matter, if the members can't accept it, let them leave, I originally planned to recruit people again. Bert said leisurely, this leaning against the mountain, towards the lake, drinking tea, the small life is really TMD leisurely.
"Your Excellency... Young master, he handed over the entire guild to you, you can't just destroy the guild like this!I know you don't want to be the guild leader, but you can't do it like this!" Vasily couldn't hold back any longer, and stood directly in his chair and yelled at him.
Bert's face did not change, and he still said leisurely: "Who said that I don't want to be the president anymore, I think it's good to be the president now." ”
One sentence choked the two of them and almost didn't take their breath. Attract the wolf into the room!
Looking at the salted fish-like faces of the two guild elders, Bert was also relieved, after all, he was also full of resentment when he forced the ducks to the shelves. "Alright, two elders, listen to me first. Bert motioned for Vasily to sit down first, and although he was not as tall as him in his chair, it was not good to be seen.
"Have you ever wondered why the guild is where it is today?" asked Bert.
The two elders didn't expect him to suddenly ask them seriously, and they didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that they were speechless, Bert went on to say, "Why did the guild fall apart after losing its guild leader, and so many assassins defected to the guild even after five elders overwhelmed the formation? Of course, a large part of this is because someone is obstructing it, but I think there is another crucial reason. ”
"What is the reason?" the two elders asked in unison.
"Money. Bert stared at the two of them, and a word came out of his mouth softly. Indeed, many Assassins defected to the Order and went to seek refuge with wealthy employers, which is why there would have been murders for money, otherwise there would not have been so many loyal members of the Order who were exterminated by the Praetorian Guard.
"I think what is left of our current guild should be people who are truly loyal to the guild, and they are not tempted by money. Vasily said from the side.
Bert put down the teapot in his hand, stood up and walked over to the goblin and patted him on the shoulder, "Uncle Vasily, you are only talking about some of them, why are all the high-level assassins who rebel, but there are so few intermediate and low-level assassins? In fact, the main reason is that they don't have that strength." ”
