Chapter 587 Members of Parliament
Huh—
Queen Iraq, who has always been calm, has no color Sabella, disregarding the king’s demeanor, suddenly stood up. Even because he got up too fast, the mighty power of the Great Knight suddenly caused a gust of wind in the study.
The pages of the books on the table were blown into the air and scattered all over the floor.
Sitting next to her, even Liweina, who had been feeling Alwin wizard innate talent several times, widened her eyes, and she felt like she was in a dream at this moment. Originally thought that Alwin came so fast because he happened to be on the road when he delivered the letter.
But he didn’t dare to think about it. He might have been far away when he received the letter from Spirit World.
Immediately.
The queen has realized her lost self-control, lightly brushed the golden red hair hanging from her ears, restored her past graceful posture, and looked towards the members of the think tank here:
“Consultants, today’s meeting is temporarily here, go back and sort out the ideas and continue the discussion tomorrow.
In addition, everything you see here is top secret, and no one is allowed to disclose it to the public, understand Is it?”
There was an angry look on Queen Isabella’s face when she said the last sentence, and the heavy majesty on her body made it almost breathless.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Though the consultants of the think tank are scholar, they also know what the priorities are.
In the kingdom, there is another high-ranking wizard besides Princeton. This is the power of nuclear deterrence, and its importance and significance to the kingdom are far above the turmoil in neighboring countries.
in the past countless years.
The most fearful thing about wizards is the terrifying means that you can’t guard against it. Mosquitoes, poisons, curses. Even the air around them is the medium for them to cast witchcraft. What makes mortals even more desperate is that most of the time, whether the opponent is a person or an army, there is not much difference in the eyes of the superior wizard.
And the most irresistible thing for those in power is the “productivity” that transcends the times!
The steam industry system that excels the entire continent, the various potions distributed by the military, the equipment of the arakkoa troops, and even the pinnacle dominance of the kingdom’s sea power – the Legendary battleship “Steam Fortress” “, both from Princeton and his “Eye of Violet”.
Alwin’s contributions in this area have also been seen in “Practical Therapy for Scurvy”, “Reloaded Cruiser”, “Brigantine Brig”, “Sea Monster Song” , “coral steel”, “sea bird heart spirit net network”, battlefield divide medicine “penicillin” and so on.
The Kingdom has benefited greatly.
Now that he has been promoted to the top wizard, this is simply a big gold mine in human form, enough to make the kingdom useless!
On this point, Francis, the second-ranking think tank who holds the concept of “powering the country with science and technology and the country’s overall development”, can actually understand it best.
After a group of advisors one after another saluted left, only the Queen, Crown Prince and Alwin were left in the study.
When Isabella looked towards Alwin again, her face had quietly changed to a different color, which was like a spring with flowers in full bloom, and the words she said were very pleasant:
“Sir Garriott, starting today, the upper council of the kingdom will be re-elected from fifty-eight to fifty-nine!
Although the “Noble Management Law” stipulates that no non-combat meritorious title can be promoted continuously, the last time After the three-year term of being a viscount expires, I will preside over the count and promote you to ceremony.
The greater the ability, the greater the power, what do you think?”
Queen Your Majesty is obviously deeply Knowing the way of the high-ranking person, he is not prepared to explore the secret of Alwin’s rapid promotion. Zhangkou is the most real official Xu Jue.
Alwin is not like many dignitaries who sharpen his head and drill into the “upper council”, the center of the kingdom’s power. His lifelong wish is to lead his family to the council.
But this time, as the power grows, the kingdom recognizes its status, and the benefits that come to the door should not be given in vain.
And you can follow the example of some big nobles, just find a reliable agent to live in the capital.
Although there is a lack of high-end talent reserves, the Elmore family is not lacking. Anyway, the wool of the old father-in-law’s house has been plucked thousands of times, and it is not bad.
You don’t even have to pay the agent’s salary yourself, elated.
The members of the upper council can be said to be the most powerful group of people in the kingdom, and they also enjoy many privileges. All of them are big nobles above the count family. The implementation of any policy in the kingdom is possible only with the cooperation of the majority of them.
However, accidents such as removal of titles, cutting off children, and family declines also occur from time to time. The number of members of the House of Lords itself is not fixed. superior.
The casually here in Alwin is obviously the convenience brought by power.
crash-bang lah
Gently raised my hand, the documents scattered on the ground have fallen back to the queen’s desk like butterflies flying, and they are piled into neat and tidy piles by themselves .
Alwin bowed solemnly:
“many thanks Your Majesty for your approval, I will do my best to live up to your trust!”
Then Isa Bella added that in addition to political rights, there will also be some policy tilts at the national level. Based on its own characteristics, part of the kingdom’s annual arms purchase order will be handed over to the Georgian leader.
In other words, after entering the top elite club, the legal right to cast guns that he has always wanted has been at his fingertips! The batch of sneaky trial-produced ship-mounted heavy artillery in “Steel City” can also be just and honorable.
Of course, rights and obligations are equal. If she was willing to work for the landlord’s house, Nymph would have absolutely no problem getting a seat.
After absorbing Alwin into the Kingdom Power Center and repositioning him. Looking at the two ghouls on the floor who looked dumb and knew nothing, Isabella finally talked about another serious matter:
“In the emerging aristocracy, that is, the ‘bourgeois’ you call incitement A new trend of thought has spread among the lower classes of the Ilya Kingdom.
The ambition of the bourgeoisie has been undisguised, and the slogan of ‘personal liberty, equal rights’ has been publicly shouted to the common people. Very attractive.
The death knell of the kingdom’s guardian ‘Raging Waves’ is the signal for them to launch an ‘uprising’, and a large number of ghouls have flocked to the capital of Viana in batches, where it is destined to be a big one The beginning of the vortex!”
The royal family’s intelligence network is obviously stronger than Alwin imagined, and it has penetrated deep into the body of the kingdom of Ilya from top to bottom.
Livina handed him a top-secret written document, allowing him to gradually gain a comprehensive understanding of what was going on in this former home country.
The people in Ilya are divided into three grades very clearly, just like the capital Viana, the three areas divided by the thick city wall.
Tier 1: The royal family represented by the king and his relatives. The second level: Church high level priests, nobles. The third class: the citizens and the lower classes, including the bourgeoisie, peasants, and proletarians.
It’s not just Ilya, but most countries on the continent.
And in the past few years, Elijah’s title of nobility has been open, and can be obtained through political donations (buying and selling), giving some wealthy and capable third-class people the opportunity to become nobles.
Since then, as the royal family gradually tasted the sweetness, it was discovered that this group of emerging businessmen (bourgeois) was so rich, and the price of knighthood became higher and higher.
But they still can’t stop their pursuit of identity and social status after they have money, especially with the development of ocean-going commerce and steam industry, in the last eighty years or so alone, the Kingdom of Ilya has About 50,000 new nobles have been added!
On the other hand, some declining nobles were also very dissatisfied with these new nobles.
The traditional aristocracy will also invest in business, mining, real estate and other industries, but as the conflict between the emerging business aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy becomes more and more serious, the traditional aristocracy is united by this new class with common aspirations The fight was losing.
The Garriott family ten years ago was an insignificant victim of this struggle.
The conflict between the old and new class forces also contributed to the so-called “Great Uprising” to a certain extent, and the ultimate target was the representative of the traditional class – the Ilya royal family.
As Alwin once said, this is a social problem at the root, not just an apparent lack of peak battle strength.
With this solid intelligence evidence and the theoretical guidance provided by Alwin, it can be said that this group of people is the group who saw the turmoil in Ilya most clearly.
You can even guess where things are going in the future.
“In the third estate, peasants and urban commoners are the main force, and they are also the main force of the upcoming ‘uprising’.
The emerging business aristocracy is what you call the bourgeoisie, then the With its extraordinary strength, economic strength, political ability and cultural knowledge, he is in a leading position.
Maybe a few months, no more than half a year at most, no matter whether the lifespan of ‘Raging Waves’ can last that much When the time comes, everything will blow up like a huge gunpowder store with a fuse!”
Queen Isabella also made a “prophet” very confidently, but this was based on detailed Intelligence, no one will doubt the correctness of her words.
Alwin probed for this:
“So what do you mean?”
Queen Your Majesty smiled meaningfully He spit out a word:
“Wait and see.”
Alwin didn’t make it clear, but Alwin immediately understood what she meant.
The royal family inherits the blood of the title, and the side effect of the strong innate talent is that the people are not very prosperous. Marriages between Tulip royals are the norm, but Pharetis and Ilya are related by blood at least generations ago.
And.
In the world where extraordinary power is in power, it is the most cost-effective choice to bind and absorb enough talented transcenders to join their own camp in various ways.
For Faretis, the most cost-effective one at present is the father of the contemporary queen – the title of Knight “rose sword saint” Ilvedi. Now, in order to secure the throne of his daughter, striving to the utmost is no longer enough to describe this centenarian “old man”.
Of course, it’s not impossible to focus entirely on worldly relationships linked by in-law bonds. The consequences are just like the current Ilya, the backer collapsed completely!
For Isabella, there is no emotional obstacle to seeing the Ilya royal family unlucky. Besides, in the face of interests, that indifferent blood relationship is really not worth mentioning.
Very simple example.
A ship with priceless cargo and no mighty Guardian is what everyone wants. After the pirates have completed the looting, the navy will fire again, and everything will be a matter of course, it is perfect!
This is also in line with Alwin’s plans.
But before he was happy, he suddenly heard Queen Your Majesty continue:
“By the way, Mr. Garriott, I remember that the ancestral land of the Garriott family fell on that one. Is it in the hands of Wright Count, the representative of the emerging aristocracy? Do you want to take your territory back?”
“Uh”
Looking up at the graceful and beautiful man wearing a platinum crown The queen of Your Majesty, Alwin already had a bad premonition in his heart. And eight generations of the ancestors of the Garriott family are still buried there, do you still want to?
“From now on, the kingdom will start purchasing arms to prepare for a war, but the construction of Ugol Island takes up a lot of money in the kingdom, so you know.”
Having said this, Isabella winked at him with her big lake green eyes, unexpectedly has several points of playfulness, but the meaning is already clear.
“Arms? This.”
I, Alwin Garriott, even had a day when I was shorn for wool? Confused.jpg
After half an hour.
Alwin and Levina also said their goodbyes to the Queen.
When she came, Liwena was half a step ahead of Alwin, but when she walked, she naturally walked side by side with him.
The change of status is vividly and thoroughly reflected in every detail.
Watching the backs of the two leaving.
Isabella was a little ecstatic, and she was faintly sighed after a long time:
“The birth of a high-ranking wizard is indeed a good thing, but it corresponds to the whole process of relying on kingdom training. Unlike the Princeton of the contract, this rising star has not received much royal support.”
Picking up the last letter left by Alwin on the table, it is from the “deceased” eldest daughter Stephanie letter, murmuring to himself in a barely audible voice:
“How great would Garriott be if he hadn’t been engaged! Isn’t he just thirteen years short? It’s a hundred years short of the uneasy one in front of him. For comparison at the age of 30, Li Weina walks with him, and I am not completely unacceptable!”
