Chapter 587: Member of Parliament


call--
Queen Isabella, who has always been calm and unrestrained, has suddenly stood up regardless of the king's manners. Even because the speed of getting up was too fast, the powerful strength of the great knight suddenly set off a gust of wind in the study.
The pages of the books on the table were blown into the air, fluttering and scattered all over the floor.
Sitting next to her, even Li Wei Na, who had expressed emotion for Irvine's wizarding talent several times, opened her eyes wide, as if she was in a dream. I thought that Aiwen came so fast because he happened to be on the road when he spread the letter.
But he didn't even dare to think about it. He might be far away when he received the letter from the spirit world.
immediately.
The queen was aware of her gaffe, and lightly adjusted the golden red hair that was hanging around her ears, restored her former graceful posture, and looked at the members of the think tank present:
"Dear advisers, come here for the time being for today's meeting. Go back and sort out your ideas before continuing the discussion tomorrow.
In addition, everything seen here is top secret, no one can disclose it to the outside world, understand? "
When she said the last sentence, Queen Isabella's face had a stern look, and the heavy majesty on her body made people almost breathless.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Although the consultants of the think tank have the loneliness of scholars, they also know what the priorities are.
There is another high-level wizard in the kingdom besides Princeton. This is a power like nuclear deterrence, and its importance and significance to the kingdom are far above the turmoil in neighboring countries.
In the past countless years.
The place that wizards most frighten those in power lies in the horrible methods that cannot be prevented. Mosquitoes, poisons, curses... and even the air around them are the mediums for them to perform witchcraft. What makes mortals even more desperate is that most of the time, regardless of whether the opponent is a person or an army, there is not much difference in the eyes of the upper wizard.
And the place where those in power can't stop most is the kind of "productivity" that transcends the times!
The steam industry system that dominates the entire continent, the various potions issued by the military, the equipment of the arakkoa troops, and even the peak dominance of the kingdom’s maritime power-the legendary battleship "Steam Fortress", all originated from Princeton and "The Violet Eye" under his command.
And Ivan’s contributions in this area are also obvious to all: "Scurvy Practical Therapy", "Reloaded Cruise Ship", "Brigentin Type Brig Hybrid Sailboat", "Song of the Sea Monster", "Coral Steel", "Seabird Mind Network", "Picillin" and so on.
The kingdom has deeply benefited from it.
After being promoted to a high-level wizard, this is simply a big gold mine of human form, enough to make the kingdom inexhaustible!
On this point, Francis, the second think tank who holds the concept of "a powerful country in science and technology and coordinated development of the country", can actually understand it best.
After a group of consultants saluted and left, only the queen, the crown prince and Irwin were left in the study.
When Isabella looked at Aiwen again, her face had quietly changed to a different color. It was blooming like spring back to the earth, and her words were extremely beautiful:
"Secretary Galliot, starting from today, the seats in the Kingdom Council will be increased from 58 seats to 59 seats!
Although the "Law on Management of Titles" stipulates that non-combat titles shall not be continuously promoted, but after the last three years of being a viscount, I will preside over the earl promotion ceremony for you.
The greater the ability, the greater the power, what do you think? "
Her Majesty clearly knows the way of the superior, and is not prepared to explore the secret of Ivan's rapid promotion. Opening her mouth is the most real official Xu Jue.
Although Aiwen would not be like many dignitaries, sharpened his head and drilled into the "upper parliament", the center of kingdom power, his lifelong wish was to lead his family to the parliament.
But this time, with the increase in power, the kingdom's recognition of its status should not be for nothing.
And you can follow the example of some great nobles, just find a reliable agent to stay in the capital.
Although he has insufficient reserves of high-end talents, the Emore family is not lacking. Anyway, the old father-in-law’s wool has been stalked thousands of times, which is not bad.
Even the agent’s salary is not paid by himself.
Members of the Upper Council can say that the most powerful people in the kingdom also enjoy many privileges, all of whom are nobles above the earl family. The implementation of any policy in the kingdom can only be carried out if most of them cooperate.
However, accidents such as the exclusion of titles, the severance of children, and the decline of the family also occur from time to time. The number of members of the House of Lords is not fixed. Even co-elections usually require fierce or even fierce political struggles to succeed.
And the understatement in Aiwen's place is obviously the convenience brought by power.
Wow...
Raising his hand gently, the documents scattered on the ground have fallen back onto the queen's desk like butterflies flying and piling up into a neat stack by themselves.
Aiwen solemnly bowed and saluted:
"Thank your majesty for your approval, I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
Later Isabella added that in addition to political rights, there will also be some national policy tilts. Based on its own characteristics, part of the kingdom’s annual arms purchase order will be given to Georgia.
In other words, after entering the top-level elite club, the legal cannon-making power he has always wanted is already at hand! The ship-borne heavy guns that were sneakily trial-produced in "Steel City" can also be taken out in an open manner.
Of course, rights and obligations are equal. If you are willing to work for the landlord's family, there is absolutely no problem with Nymph getting a seat.
After taking Aiwen into the power center of the kingdom, he was repositioned. Looking at the two ghouls on the floor who looked dumb and knowing, Isabella finally started talking about another business:
"Under the instigation of the emerging aristocracy, that is, what you call the'bourgeois', a new trend of thought has spread among the lower classes of the Ilya Kingdom.
The ambition is unconcealed, and the slogan of "personal freedom and equal rights" is publicly shouted, which is extremely attractive to civilians.
The death knell for the kingdom to guard the "Raging Waves" is the signal for them to initiate an "uprising". A large number of ghouls have flocked to the royal capital of Viana, where it is destined to be the starting point of a great whirlpool. "
The royal family's intelligence network is obviously stronger than Ivan had imagined, and it has penetrated into the body of the kingdom of Ilya from top to bottom.
Livina handed him a written document marked with top secret, so that he gradually got a comprehensive understanding of the situation in this former home country.
The people in Ilya are like the three areas divided by the heavy city wall in Viana, the capital of Ilya. They are clearly divided into three levels.
The first level: the royal family represented by the king and his relatives. The second level: high priests and nobles in the church. The third level: citizens including bourgeois, peasants, and proletarians, and lower-class people.
In fact, it is not just Ilya, most of the countries on the mainland are like this.
Moreover, Ilya’s title of nobility has been open for many years, and the title can be obtained through political donations (sales), giving some wealthy and capable third-class people the opportunity to become nobles.
Since then, as the royal family gradually tasted the sweetness, they discovered that this group of emerging merchant class (bourgeois) was so rich, and the price of knighthood became higher and higher.
But they still can’t stop them from pursuing identity and social status when they have money. Especially with the development of ocean commerce and steam industry, in the last 80 years or so alone, the Kingdom of Ilya has increased by about 50,000. New aristocracy!
On the other hand, some declining nobles are also very dissatisfied with these new nobles.
Traditional aristocrats themselves will also invest in commerce, mining, real estate and other industries. However, as the conflict between emerging commercial aristocrats and traditional aristocrats has become increasingly serious, traditional aristocrats have been defeated by this new class that unites and has common demands.
The Garriott family ten years ago was a trivial victim of this struggle.
The conflict between the old and new class forces has also contributed to the so-called "great uprising" to a certain extent, and the ultimate spearhead is directed at the representative of the traditional class-the royal family.
As Ivan once said, this is a social problem at the root, rather than a lack of peak combat power on the surface.
With this tangible documentary evidence, coupled with the theoretical guidance provided by Ivan, it can be said that their group is the group of people who have seen the turmoil in Ilya most clearly.
Even the future development direction can be guessed.
"In the third level, peasants and urban civilians are the main body and the main force of the'uprising' that is about to begin.
The emerging business aristocracy is what you call the bourgeoisie, who is in a leading position by virtue of their extraordinary power, economic strength, political talent and cultural knowledge.
Maybe a few months, no more than half a year at most, no matter whether the "Raging Sea Tide" can last until that time, everything will be blown up like a huge gunpowder storehouse burned out by a fuze! "
Queen Isabella also made a "prophet", but this is based on detailed information, and no one will doubt the correctness of her statement.
Aiwen, who originally came for this, tentatively said:
"Then you mean...?"
Her Majesty smiled and uttered a meaningful word:
"Watch the changes."
Although she didn't make a clear statement, Aiwen understood her meaning for the first time.
The royal family inherited the blood of titles, and the side effect of the powerful talents is that the people are not very prosperous. Although marriage between the tulip royals is a norm, the blood relationship between Falettis and Ilya was at least several generations ago.
and.
In a world where extraordinary powers dominate, it is the most cost-effective choice to bundle and absorb enough talented extraordinary people to join their own camp in various ways.
For Falettis, the most cost-effective marriage at present is the father of the contemporary queen, the titled knight "Sword Saint of Rose" Ilvid. Nowadays, for the sake of the stability of the throne of his daughter, he has devoted himself to death and it is no longer enough to describe this centenary "old man".
Of course, it is not impossible to concentrate entirely on the secular relationships linked by in-laws. The consequences...just like the current Ilya, the patron collapsed!
For Isabella, seeing the bad luck of the royal family of Ilya, there is no obstacle in emotional terms. Moreover, in the face of interests, the indifferent blood relationship is really not worth mentioning.
Very simple example.
A ship loaded with priceless goods without a strong guardian, everyone wanted it. After letting the pirates complete the looting, the navy fires again, and everything is logical and perfect!
This is also consistent with Aiwen's plan.
But before he was happy, she suddenly heard Her Majesty continue to say:
"By the way, Secretary Galliot, I remember that the ancestral land of the Galliot family fell into the hands of the representative of the emerging aristocracy, Earl Wright? Do you want to take back the land that belongs to you?"
"Uh..."
Looking up at the graceful and beautiful Majesty the Queen wearing a platinum crown, Ivan already had a bad feeling in his heart. And eight generations of the ancestors of the Galliot family are still buried there, do you want it?
"From now on, the kingdom will start preparing for the purchase of arms, but the construction of Ugor Island takes up a large amount of money in the kingdom, so you know..."
Having said that, Isabella blinked her beautiful lake green eyes at him, and the meaning could not be clearer.
"arms?!"
I, Irving Garriott, had the day when I was stubbed out? Confused.jpg
After half an hour. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Alvin and Livina also bid farewell to the queen.
Only when he came, Livina was half a step ahead of Irving, but when he left, he walked with him naturally.
The changes in status are vividly reflected in every detail.
Looking at the back of the two people leaving.
Isabella was a little lost, and sighed quietly after a long time:
"The birth of a high-ranking wizard is indeed a great thing, but unlike Princeton, who relied on the cultivation of the kingdom throughout the entire process and signed a corresponding contract, this rising star has not received too much funding from the royal family."
Picking up the last letter left by Irving on the table, from the "deceased" eldest daughter Stephanie, muttered to herself almost inaudible:
"Galliott would be great if he hadn’t gotten engaged! Isn’t it just thirteen years old? Contrast this with the one hundred and thirty-year-old who was unconscious before, Livina walked with him, and neither was I. It's totally unacceptable!"
