Chapter 324: The Importance of the Council
But Borobus really didn't expect that these people who hadn't read any books and didn't have any management experience would have such a professional ability to find faults, they didn't look like ordinary people in the market, but like tricky businessmen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Haha, Borobus, what, you, a top student who graduated from the Florentine Academy, can't stand the chicken thief who sells vegetables. Jonas listened to Borobus's nagging, and he had a good impression of the parliamentary system, and he no longer hated it as much as he did just now.
You must know that the state that Jonas hopes for after he leaves Genaya is balance, because only in this way can he grab benefits from it, otherwise if the whole Gennaya is a grasshopper on a ship, like an iron bucket, then he will have nothing to borrow.
And in Jonas's hope, the most nerve-wracking thing for Jonas is that the physical signs system is self-contained, separated from the parliamentary system, and completely becomes the only pole to control Genaya, which Jonas does not want to see, and it is precisely because of this that Jonas will rack his brains to come up with a way to confer honors, promote Borobus as a cronie, and insert Andreas into this system, in order to be able to further grasp this system as much as possible.
But as much as possible, after all, just as possible, it is impossible to really completely control it in his hands, if he really returns to Bierro, then everything about Genaya is a thing that happens in a distant city for him, far water can not quench his thirst, this is a very realistic thing in an era without cars, and when the time comes, if the administrative system really wants to be self-contained, out of his own control and turn the entire Gennaya into a bureaucracy, this is something that Jonas does not want to see.
And now, judging from the performance of the parliamentary system, although it is not the ideal state in Jonas's heart, but a cage of power has really appeared in front of Jonas, and Joonas can see that it has been achieved, as for Borobus's pain, it doesn't matter to Jonas.
"Oh, Mr. Viscount, you are excessive. ”
Borobus didn't speak, an administrator next to him leaned in and complained to Jonas, listening to the voice, Jonas turned his head to look at a middle-aged man's face, he couldn't remember the name clearly, only vaguely remembered that the person who spoke seemed to have received his own honor.
Looking down, sure enough, there was a cross on his chest, looking at the style, this should belong to the same level as Borobus, both are administrative officials, the two overlapped, Jonas's memory recovered a lot, and he also remembered this gentleman with a beard by the way, Da Legnan, the administrative officer in charge of the security of the city of Genoya, if it were placed now, he would be the director of the Public Security Bureau.
"Monsieur da Legnan, aren't you a sheriff? Are they going to have their pay reduced? Or are they dissatisfied with the city's law and order? Or are your men demolishing them? Don't tell me that's the case. ”
As soon as he thought of Da Lagnan's name and position, Jonas felt strange about his distress, relatively speaking, although the work of the magistrate was hard, all his actions were basically based on the law, that is, even if they did something wrong, they had to find other magistrates to change the rules first, and then come to him, how could they be scolded on the first day?
"Of course not, my sir, there is nothing wrong with the whole city being rebuilt now, but all the houses we demolished are all dilapidated houses, and the decision was made after the appraisal of the craftsmen under the administrative office system, how can it be demolished indiscriminately, as for the reduction of wages, there is no such thing, these councillors have many relatives who are working under me, and reducing their salaries is not equivalent to reducing the salaries of their relatives, they will not do this. ”
Hearing Jonas say that he was forcibly demolished, Da Legnon couldn't help but cover his chest, and argued for himself with a fast speech that as an administrator, especially the one who had just been awarded, Da Legnon still took his honor very seriously, otherwise he would not have been awarded the medal the next day.
Although Jonas is a joke, Da Legnan can't listen to it as a joke, he refuted Jonas very anxiously, and after Jonas nodded his head to show understanding, he said the issue of salary, and at this time, Da Legnan calmed down, regained some calm, and no longer said that he was sweaty on his face as he was when he was not demolished, and he looked like he was prostration.
"Oh, what did they say that made you think it was too much?"
Seeing that Da Legnan was very eager, Jonas was very relieved in his heart, but on the surface, he was light-hearted, as if Da Legnan was not very good at doing this, and asked with some teasing, in fact, in his heart, Jonas still admires Da Legnan for such a sense of honor, but he can't say it, for complimenting others, Jonas is not a generous person, especially officials, even more so.
As soon as he heard Jonas mention what had just happened, he couldn't help but fall into a daze, and even Borobs and the rest of the people had a sad expression, as if they had not been questioned just now, but as if they had been abused, and finally Da Legnan said the root cause of his current annoyance.
It turned out that just after Borobus's proposal was rejected, Da Legnan became the second person to be questioned on the podium, holding the "Regulations on the Management and Punishment of Craftsmen Arbitrarily Occupying Public Land on the Main Street" in his hand, facing hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at him intently, Da Legnan originally didn't care, after all, as an administrator, he did a lot of such things, and naturally became an excellent speaker.
But when facing these hundreds of pairs of eyes, thinking of the picture of Borobus being refuted just now without opening his mouth, it was still very impactful for Da Legnan, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he was very cautious, and while reading the proposal, he changed all the imperative words in the proposal to tactful words.
For example, it must be changed to should, it must be changed to can, it will be completed within three days, and it will become a week in the blink of an eye, it can be said that it is to try to make this proposal as flexible as possible, but in the end, it was still found wrong by these people, and it was fiercely educated, and even one of the parliamentarians was a business owner engaged in the production of small workshops, so he rushed directly to the question table, attacked Da Legnan with saliva, scolded his whole family, and finally put the content of this proposal on the grounds that people's livelihood is more important than safety, and put it directly on tomorrow's agenda, intending to discuss it again。
This is not a big blow to Da Legnan, he really never thought about what these people should do if they can't continue to do the work of small workshops, he only thought about the issue of law and order in the initial period of thinking about this bill, as for other issues, Da Legnan has never thought about it, let alone put himself in the position of a small workshop owner to think about the problem.
As a true intellectual, thinking from the perspective of Genaya's overall situation can be said to have formed a formula in Da Legnan's head, in which the loss of the interests of a part of the people to take care of the interests of the wider population is the most important one, unconsciously, standing above the heads of others to look at the problem, the interests are very simple generalization of a number, it has become a common problem of all administrators, but never thought that the rectification of the street will make a family lose the most important source of income.
This is for Da Legnan, he has never been hit so hard by others, it is not to say, it is a huge impact, listening to Jonas's ears, I can't help but be a little shocked, once upon a time, I was also a member of the ordinary people represented by these small workshops, but now, in less than ten years, I forgot all this, standing on the side of the profit, holding the flag for your good, constantly waving the flag and shouting, but also adapt quickly.
Now hearing Da Legnan's words, Jonas remembered that he had also experienced poverty and depression, and had worked 9 to 5 every day to maintain his life, and at this moment, Jonas no longer felt how tiring the cumbersome parliamentary system was, at least in this way, the people of Genoya would always suffer less.
"Okay, since you're so busy, I won't bother you, alas, didn't you just say that you want to hurry up to dinner, and you have to go back to the administrative hall to get something after dinner, and now you can enter at 11:30, and there is only one and a half hours before the afternoon meeting begins, and you are still standing here, is it too late?"
Jonas laughed and left the chamber of the people's assembly and went out, leaving only the administrators to look at each other one by one, Jonas couldn't help laughing out loud as soon as he thought of the next three full hours of indiscriminate bombardment, while Borobus and Da Legnan and the others could only eat with a bitter face, and quickly took the materials from the executive hall, entered the council hall, and began to continue the annoying journey.
Walking out of the house, leaving the room full of the smell of tobacco and alcohol, fresh air poured into Jonas's nostrils, which finally made Jonas's dizzy brain, which was bombarded with a lot of information, sober up a lot, and looked up, it was still early, and his brain roughly passed, and suddenly remembered that the merchant of Genaya, the future Mr. Earl, had not been seen for about ten days since he was called to gather food.
This suddenly remembered, Jonas was also a little curious about what this shrewd businessman was doing now, and his nephew, the first of the captives willing to submit to his own guy named Jike, now seems to be serving in the gendarmerie army, opened the door of the carriage, said to go to Roccodor's house, Jonas got into the carriage, and after a while, the coachman asked the soldiers next to him about the location of Roccodor's house, the horsewhip sounded suddenly, the dust was flying, and he rode away, and in less than 20 minutes, Jonas's carriage came from the noisy street to the quiet rich neighborhood, and the big trees covered the sky, which was very shady。
When he arrived at Rocodor's house, the groom stopped the car and walked over, Jonas sat in the carriage and did not get out of the car, Rocodo is a businessman and a busy man, although the home is here, but the people don't know if they are here, maybe they are busy collecting food in other places, so Jonas didn't get off the carriage directly, thinking that if the groom heard the news of Rocodor, he went directly, and he didn't have to go up and down, it was very troublesome.
Sure enough, after the coachman knocked on the door, and waited for a long time, Rocodo did not come out to greet him, but greeted the door opened by an old woman who was dying, and after hearing clearly who the owner of the coachman was, and seeing the carriage carved with the coat of arms of the Ruger family outside her small courtyard, the old woman was very respectful like the coachman conveyed the news that Rocodo was not at home, but somewhere else.
As for where, the old woman was just a subordinate and did not know, the coachman nodded, walked to Jonas's seat and told his master the news, Jonas nodded, he was not surprised by this result, it seemed that if he wanted to find Rocodor, it would be more appropriate to send him an invitation to come to St. George's Palace.
"Then let's go first, and come back next time we have a chance. ”
Jonas smiled and said to the groom, casually put down the curtain of the carriage, the sun outside is now very big, and the windows on the carriage are made of glass, although the leaves block most of the light, but the gathering effect of this glass is still very strong, this is obviously autumn, but it was forced by this strong light to illuminate the feeling of summer, so that Jonas's eyes were very uncomfortable, quickly pulled down, blocked the slightest beam, the whole carriage suddenly darkened, Jonas's eyes were much better, no longer so stinging.
"Well, my lord, where are we going next?"
The groom said very little, sat on the front of the frame, twisted his senses, opened the small wooden frame behind him, and through this small wooden frame, the groom said softly.
"Where are .....we going?" Faced with the question of the groom, Jonas didn't know where he should go now, as time gradually passed, the time for him to return to Bierro was getting closer and closer, although he didn't know when, but the day he should leave was indeed gradually coming towards him.
Every day passed, Jonas's feeling became stronger and stronger, which also made him always have a kind of idea about Genaya's things and leave it alone when he left, this kind of thought was inevitable, which made Jonas a little lazy, and now the groom suddenly asked this question, Jonas only felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, and he didn't know where to start.
St. George's Palace, the Executive Hall, the People's Assembly, or the Port, but there was no taste in any place, when a voice suddenly came from behind the carriage: "Is it Viscount Birro?" (To be continued. )
