In the expansion of the parliament, it was the Asturians who were at the top of the political circles and the division and contention of power.

Solomon is not a chess player on this, a real chess player, Edward on the left, and the big nobles represented by the three dukes' families on the right.

Even among the most important core pieces in the player's hands, Solomon is still a little less qualified.

He was not yet a member of the Cabinet, only a Undersecretary of Commerce, and although he was easily elected to the House of Lords, because he was a powerful earl, his value was only greater than that of Osteen and Benjamin, but in Edward's eyes, the Childes and Disraeli families behind these two young nobles, and the Spenser family were perhaps more important, these three families were second only to the three wealthy families, on the surface, they may only have one or two titles to enter the Lords, but in fact, the branches that flowed out of their families, or their in-laws, as long as they also obtained the titles and entered the Lords, then they would affect these Lords。

Edward needed someone to contain the political circles of the three dukes in the House of Lords, which was impossible for Solomon alone, and more needed other nobles.

However, Solomon can be used as a point of strength for him, if the royal family wants to exert influence in the House of Lords, or make a different voice, some nobles who are attached to Edward are one choice, and Solomon is another;

So in this battle at the top of Asturias, Solomon still obediently acted as his pawn, acting on Edward's orders. Acts as his microphone. Quarrel with others in the House of Lords with Edward's will. It becomes part of the charter.

The greatest value and essence of the charter is actually the oath formed by the royal family and the big nobles in order to divide power, but in this battle, the royal family and the aristocratic faction dependent on the royal family in order to increase their momentum and find new supporters to contain their opponents, and introduced small and medium-sized nobles, as well as a new class, from the traditional merchants to the bourgeoisie that is transforming from capitalists.

It's just that in this multi-party power struggle, the nascent bourgeoisie is still in a relatively weak role. They have more influence on the country than ever before, and there are people behind them, and Solomon is one of them who is deliberately promoting, but when it comes to real strength and influence, they are still far from being chess players.

But because they were given this opportunity, the charter finally had some of the provisions they most wanted to see, such as the sanctity of legal property.

And it's not just that the Rose Bank has made a secret agreement with Solomon early on, as well as with several other noble lords who can make it to the upper house and are qualified to put forward bills, so that they can put forward some favorable proposals for them in the proceedings of the first Asturian Congress. Derek and Kindleberg and their merchant groups also spoke for them through Solomon or other connected legislators.

This is because the House of Commons does not have the right to make proposals for the time being, and must rely on close members of the Upper House. Then he united with the members of the lower parliament who could influence each other to support bills that were beneficial to the merchants, and in any case, Solomon himself was both a royalist and a nascent bourgeoisie, and speaking for the merchants was also beneficial to himself.

So, Solomon is still very important to them, at least for a short time, until the House of Commons gets the right to make proposals, they rely on people like Solomon.

And Solomon will also weigh it, as long as he speaks up for Derek and them, and it will not directly cause him to conflict with Edward, then he will speak, if it conflicts with the Duke's faction, it doesn't matter, because since he is playing as a pawn, it is definitely impossible to get out of the game, anyway, he is going to offend one side, since he is currently holding Edward's thigh, don't have a heart to please both parties, not to mention that he has some old grudges with Clausa of the Bourbons.

In addition to being a pawn for Edward, currently on the front lines of the House of Lords, and speaking up for businessmen, he also put forward some unusual proposals after careful consideration.

These proposals are not a continuation of the reforms he has submitted to the kingdom before, and there is no need for them, because those that people find good and beneficial as long as they make a start, especially if Edward realizes that it can make him receive more taxes, someone will naturally improve it.

The first of Solomon's special bills was that the Council agreed to allocate a budget for the establishment of a magic institute called Big Ben.

This magic research institute is no more unstable than the previous cooperation with the magic academy or some high-level mages and great alchemists, but it will carry out special forward-looking and cutting-edge research.

The firebolts proved their worth in the lives of the Fadel Tong Guò Aborigines and the Black Rock Dwarves, as well as the plight of Titania.

Therefore, in the future, although the mechanical civilization in Asturias may not have an explosive development, as long as there is sufficient capital investment and manpower participation, it will never be trapped in the hands of dwarves and stagnate as in the past.

But Solomon estimated that in order to appear to make the mechanical civilization develop to a very high level in the way of his previous life, the resources to be invested are only the key time.

So he has been thinking about using the combination of magical civilization and mechanical civilization that already exists in this world to find a new way. In fact, the people of this world have tried this path of magic guidance before, but they just haven't continued it.

But some of the missing conditions have been turned around by the appearance of Black Rock, and as for the direction, Solomon believes that he may be able to play a greater role in this.

The powerhouses of this world far surpass Solomon's previous life in terms of single volume, but the biggest weakness is not that there is a gap in the technicality of the magical civilization and the mechanical civilization, because the magical civilization also has a height that Solomon could not reach in his previous life, such as the teleportation channel, which is much higher than the technology that Solomon saw in his previous life, and the space voyage has not yet been realized in the previous life, and there is no way to reach it in an instant between the two places.

In fact, the biggest shortcoming of this world is that its production organization and production management are still in a relatively primitive stage, so even if it is extremely clever, it even surpasses the achievements of Solomon's previous magical civilization. There is no way to popularize and influence more people.

This must first be changed in the study of magic. If you continue the previous mentor-apprentice model. The development of magical civilization has always been slow, even if some magicians have recognized the drawbacks, otherwise there would be no semi-free platforms such as magic guilds, or magicians cooperate with the world to open magic academies, but in general, it is far from enough.

Solomon couldn't change overnight, all he could do was to gather the high-end magic researchers he could use. Construct a new system while researching and exploring, and achieve some needed results in the process;The second is to use these results to obtain all kinds of wealth and resources that everyone needs, so he tried his best to attract magicians to integrate into the world, first try to build a resource trading system that magicians can participate in, which is also the role of Mithril currency; and use the results to make everyone profitable at the same time, to be as visible as possible, so as to attract more people to follow the route he needs.

Moreover, at the same time, Solomon also needs to convince everyone that the profits from this kind of research and research are guaranteed, at least in a relative area or for a certain period of time.

So his second proposal was to put forward patent law and similar concepts of copyright, copyright, and so on. The latter is to cover the rights and interests of life by the way, such as more and more Shadow Animation competition. Such a norm is needed.

The two proposals were mutually supportive, and if there was a patent law, the rights and interests of the magicians involved in the study of magic would be guaranteed in the form of law, although this right might not be complete, because even if the legislation was successful, it would at best guarantee its effect in Asturias, and would certainly not be binding on foreign countries. But this in itself is a comparison, and the fact that Asturias is willing to ensure that the results of the mage's research are shared in the benefit of the kingdom is not guaranteed by other countries, and that under the same conditions, some neutral magicians or alchemists are bound to be inclined to cooperate with Asturias.

There is more than one proposal in the third category, and some of them are simply in accordance with the will of Derek and other merchants, and then add some of the conditions that Solomon needs to them.

For example, Solomon will develop the design and manufacturing related to mechanical civilization, focusing on the formation of a mixed battle phalanx including firearms, and training new tactics and the most suitable tactical moves for this phalanx; increasing investment in academies can encourage businessmen to invest in academies and give some low-level titles to commend the activists among them; in terms of research, in addition to the high-end research institutes established by the kingdom to grasp the direction of magic research, businessmen are not prohibited from raising funds to establish private research machines, and some of them are beneficial to social life, the cost of building is much lower than that of mechanical creations with the same effect of magic, and the kingdom should be consciously guided.

These proposals, plus the proposals of other parliamentarians, are estimated to add up to not thousands, at least hundreds of proposals in the first Congress, which will really be adopted, and the resources invested are very limited, such as Solomon's proposal to establish the Magic Institute was adopted, and the proposal related to the patent law did not attract the attention of other parliamentarians at the beginning, until Solomon himself discussed the legislative patent rights in detail in front of Edward, and Asturias would form a certain advantage in winning the magician to take the initiative to invest in research, and contribute to the research of the Magic Institute, Edward agreed to instruct the members of the royal party in the upper house to cooperate with the GuòThe merchant representatives of the House of Commons were there to coordinate with Solomon, and before receiving the benefits themselves, Derek and their councillors were more out of trust in Solomon than in believing that it would bring benefits.

It was in the midst of this quarrel and bump that the first session of the Parliament took a whole month, so that the big names in Asturian politics had to pay attention to it, and finally a situation that everyone could barely accept.

Relatively speaking, the merchants and workshop owners had a relatively weak interest in it, but Solomon was not in a hurry, because he believed that as long as the first step was taken, when these people realized the benefits, they had to make a voice, and then they would continue to wait for opportunities to slowly win various rights in each opportunity, such as the issue of equality between the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
