Chapter 761 Reform 3
"Okay," Mormon stood up helplessly and smiled. He smiled at Locke in front of everyone, "Can I get four salaries in this way?"
"Oh, this can be. As long as your job satisfies me." Locke touched his nose and pushed the pile of parchment rolls in front of him, "You can see it yourself, I won't say it."
"Lotral Quett...Earl!" When Locke said Quett's title, the excited former Speaker of the Lordaeron noble parliament excitedly clasped his hands!
"Judge of Justice!"
"I need to remind you that Count Quite, this time the revision of our Lordaeron is unprecedented, and each department has relevant laws to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice. I hope that the law enforcement agencies under the Ministry of Justice will not be in any confusion."
"But... Your Majesty," Quet said hesitantly, "What should we do with the current noble council? Your newly established departments cover almost all the functions of the noble council..."
Legislative power, fiscal power, administrative power, fiscal and administrative supervision power, and diplomatic power were all taken away... All that was left was the defense. But seeing Locke's division in detail, Quit felt that there was no doubt that Locke would definitely not be able to hand over the defense power to the noble parliament. It may be a question whether the noble parliament could exist.
"The noble council will be retained, but the membership will be expanded. All nobles with baron or above will join them. At the same time, the noble council will be renamed the House of Lords." For this issue that all nobles are more concerned about, Locke naturally has another way to dilute the possible damage that the nobles may cause in the future.
"In addition to the Cabinet's Royal Conference, the main functions of the House of Lords review the new Lords Constitution and laws, and review and vote on the Kingdom laws formulated by other departments of the Royal Conference. After approval by the Speaker King, it will be handed over to the law enforcement agencies affiliated to the Ministry of Justice. The House of Lords has the right to supervise the law enforcement situation of the administrative law enforcement agencies affiliated to the Ministry of Justice. At the same time, the House of Lords has certain legislative power to propose. When the vote is passed, the relevant laws will be drafted by the department affiliated to the Royal Conference, and after approval by the House of Lords, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for implementation. The House of Lords will serve as the function of the Supreme Judicial Organisation of the Kingdom."
"There are more specific... too many..." Locke put down the parchment paper on one of the plates. "I said that this reform is all-round. If you have any questions, go and read more detailed documents later. You have all the information prepared in the office courtyard where Dragon Castle belongs."
"Can you come to me too."
Quite was a little confused. As a representative of the old nobles, Locke's remarks really made him unable to accept them. Many new nouns and new methods made his brain, which had limited knowledge, crashed a little.
"Alfred Abidis... Duke..."
The air became silent, and everyone focused their eyes on the old Abidis beside Locke...
Duke! Your Majesty has said more than once that the non-royal family will not grant the duke the throne again! But this is... Everyone turned their heads and looked at Old Abidis...
This is also the first time that Lordaeron has appeared in so many years a new Duke!
Lock turned his head and looked at the father-in-law who was sitting on the first place on his right. He smiled awkwardly. Although Bridget promised him that Old Abidis would not be angry about leaving the grassroots army. Lock still tried to ask, "Minister of Defense...General of the Army."
"Ah..." After these years, a layer of white silk appeared in the black hair of old Abidis, and the wrinkles on his face were also lifted up layer by layer. If his daughter had not repeatedly asked him to leave the army and escape from the control of the Tyr's hand regional army...
He sighed again, and he carried the scrolls in the plate in front of Locke.
"The functions of the Ministry of Defense... manage all the armed forces of the Kingdom, responsible for recruitment, equipment, training, military research and development, establishment and training of the officer academy, promotion of military officers and soldiers, and salary adjustments, etc.... Duke Abidis, you can see it yourself."
Like in his previous life, the Ministry of Defense had no military command... This is also what Old Abidis is reluctant to do.
Locke dared not say anything more...
"Noris Morning Star Earl..." Noris, who was increasingly silent, quietly stared at him with azure gaze, "Minister of the Interior..."
"Responsible for protecting and maintaining the security of the kingdom, cracking down on illegal and criminal activities in the kingdom, supervising the performance of other departments, etc."
"The garrison troops in various places were abolished, and some were incorporated into the Ministry of Defense to become the agency of the department. Some were separated from the army and merged into the Ministry of Interior to form the rapid response force of the Ministry of Interior."
"All town sheriffs in the kingdom have been renamed..." Rocketton continued, "Police! The police stations at all levels have their functions and their previous functions remain unchanged. Their responsibilities are responsible to their superiors at each level, and are under the responsibility of the Kingdom Police Department, which is managed by the Ministry of Interior."
"The main departments under the Ministry of Interior are Kingdom Security Bureau, Kingdom Police Department, Ministry of Interior Rapid Response Force, Kingdom Supervision Office, etc."
Wow! Everyone is a little upset now!
If this department is divided according to rights, it is undoubtedly a very powerful department! Supervising all departments at the same level is equivalent to being one level higher than other departments out of thin air! Moreover, it has its own army?! It is also responsible for public security and combating crimes?!
Everyone looked at Norris. Although they were all subordinates of Locke and had been mentally prepared before, it was beyond their mental deadline for this elf to occupy such a high position in human society!!
For a moment, no one spoke...
Locke didn't wait for them and didn't have time to digest them.
"The departments participating in the imperial meeting are temporarily divided in this way. With the development of the kingdom, other problems will inevitably arise. If necessary, the Prime Minister will make suggestions to me and add other departments."
"Oh, by the way!" Rock paused and said, "You are the Speaker of the House of Lords. Earl Quet, you are the Deputy Speaker. I will participate in the discussions of the House as Honorary Speaker."
"Then I can get another salary from His Majesty..." Mormon said with a wry smile.
"Okay!" Locke slapped vigorously, awakening everyone from the literature or the daze, "Everyone, this is your work task for a long time."
"I know it's hard. Many adults need to start from scratch, but everything is hard to start. When everything is ruled, the work will go very smoothly. And you may not have noticed it," Locke smiled and encouraged everyone present with ugly faces. "You and I are the founders of this system. In the future, people will keep mentioning your names forever."
"I suggest that you don't worry first, read the specific work scope of your department yourself, form a personal staff team as soon as possible, and build the shelf of your department to you. Oh, in terms of policy interpretation, the staff who helped me formulate policies for these departments are already in the offices you belong to, and they will become your powerful assistants."
"Finally, what I want to say is that if there are candidates for senior positions in each department, you can nominate candidates and report them to the Earl of Berg for review and approval, and then the Prime Minister will confirm them after review and review them by the Ministry of Interior. After completion, I will sign them. Otherwise, senior positions in each department will be screened and assessed by the Ministry of Government."
"So! Let's go and do it... I hope all adults can give me good news as soon as possible!" Locke smiled and walked out of the conference hall with a deep face.
Just be busy, go and do it. It doesn’t matter if you can do it best, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. The whole Lordaeron is now just a piece of paper. If you can do it well, then the transition will be smooth. If not, then improve it and still return to the centralized feudal system in the past. Anyway, the benefits and benefits of these departments at this stage have never been felt by the lower-level people. Now the positive and negative operations of the grassroots are still like the feudal model in the past, and this model has not been applied. This has enough time to make trouble for all adults!
At this time, a group of servants appeared outside the door, leading them to their respective office departments.
Locke looked at their departure backs without saying a word for a long time, sitting there without any movement. But in his head, he was still thinking about whether this was done right or wrong. Is it appropriate to completely push a feudal society with initially perfect production tools and materials into a capital society? After all, the social productivity that restricts social development is no longer a big problem in Azeroth. The abnormal development of technology and the existence of magical energy allow farmers to leave the land and enter the factory of the future! This is almost a visible change!
Not to mention anything else, there are now a simple small mechanized harvester made by goblins using machine tools and assembly lines in the market of Iva! As society gradually stabilizes, food is gradually no longer becoming a shortage of materials in the current society. Instead, it is people's enjoyment of a better life...
Locke has read the financial statements handed over by Hilo. Since last month, Iva's taxes have begun to increase significantly. Among them, commercial tax accounts for almost 100%, and the consumption tax alone accounts for more than half, while the remaining ones are real estate transaction tax and trade tax! Among them, the consumption tax category is also concentrated on food consumption and clothing!
People have begun to change their living habits without realizing it! This is also due to the operation of goblin factories and some human factories in Iva. While goods are gradually cheaper, some farmers have unconsciously left the land.
In Iva, there are newly opened hotels almost every day, and there are newly opened beer breweries every day. Countless people wander in the fields and small villages, buying and selling farmers' grains, using them to make wine or press them into flour to make other exquisite foods.
The market economy will not be fake, and there will be production only if there is demand.
Because of his past policy of aristocratic fiefs, Locke received news that a very small number of shrewd nobles had begun to try to enter the business field and achieved great success because of his own identity. This made the nobles who were heartbroken because Locke had decided to take over the territory and the news were a little confused. The long-term obsession with the land made them unable to reflect the secrets in the moment.
Locke has thought countless times in his mind that every time he deduces the system, he always feels that changing the current model of Lordaeron will be of great help to fight against Azeroth's enemies in the future. It is not impossible to even let Lordaeron unify the human kingdom.
