Chapter 178

Although Prince Edward was young, he was a wise monarch. When Princess Kiriel said this, he could already hear some of the taste. The Magna Carta, which the father, King John Henry III, was afraid of, is not a sign with the great nobles, but with the civilians.

In fact, what Qili said at this moment was to transform the constitutional revolution from the signing of the nobles and the emperor into the contract between the emperor and the common people. Although the little people talked about one that was useless, if it was a group of people, or even thousands of people, it was a force that could be stopped by the world. The result was nothing more than the old sayings from China, such as "Water can carry a boat, but can also overturn the boat" or - "Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world".

However, the Song Dynasty, which was once glorious, threw these words aside. In fact, England, which was controlled by the great nobles at this moment, was similar to the government affairs of the Song Dynasty. The government affairs of the Song Dynasty were all controlled by dog ​​officials such as Qin Hui and Shi Miyuan, and accompanied by a confused emperor. The so-called Song Dynasty had a result of not being chaotic or weak. The idea of ​​Count Simon De Mondford was not much different from that of Qin Hui and Shi Miyuan.

But no one expected that in history, after he successfully forced John Henry III to sign the Magna Carta, he was beaten to the corpse by the wise little king in front of him, who was highly praised by the parliament, and eventually led England to embark on the road of constitutional revolution. At this moment, Count Simon de Mondford, who was planning to use the emperor to command the princes, would never have thought of this result. If he wanted to get it, he would not have to fight such a big fight to establish the parliament, but he was eventually deprived of his life by the parliament.

At this moment, Prince Edward had more ideas when he heard Princess Qili's words. Now the people from Count Simon de Mondford have not arrived yet, and there is still some time to discuss this matter.

"Sister Qili, then I don't understand. How could a corrupt official like Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, tell the wishes of the civilians to the royal family? If the royal family cannot hear it, then wouldn't the parliament be a loft in the air?"

Perhaps the words of Prince Edward sounded a little redundant at that time. As a royal family, there were so many differences. The nobles would naturally speak what the nobles wanted to say and what the royal family wanted to hear at the expression of Philip Mark, the governor of Nottingham County. Perhaps she had guessed what her words would make him feel like.

"Well, I didn't expect you to think so quickly, faster than the guy in our family. But you can do this, civilians elect village officials, county chiefs, and councillors. In this way, if you want to be an official, you have to listen to the common people's words, and let the common people say that their dissatisfaction can be spoken to in your ears through various channels. In this way, a dog official like you can no longer deceive your subordinates and hide it from others, so you have to do their duty honestly. But I will say something for him, or you can give him a higher salary, or you can provide some housing, servants and other expenses, just like the county governor Philip Mark in front of you, there is no dissatisfaction!"

Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark was regarded as a typical example by Princess Qili. It felt very embarrassing when standing there. Just listening to Princess Qili's words, he gave him some hope. It seems that if this is done, the nobles' rights and interests are much less. The nobles lack the support of the common people. To put it bluntly, except for having two money and some land, they are not even a big deal. Maybe they are not as high as the county magistrate by then.

In other words, the nobles and lords may have certain benefits for local finances, but their management rights fell into the hands of people like Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County. He was under the supervision of the city council, and he was a position that had no chance to do anything else. England would also form a city council system like the "experimental field" established by Zhao Fubo in Aden.

Princess Kiriel looked at Prince Edward and then at Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark, and only felt that the expressions of the two of them had many changes. Prince Edward seemed to hear that this solved the problem of the rights of the king and the nobles, and that the rights of the kings and nobles were restricted. Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark, also heard that he could control one side without having to look at the faces of the nobles who controlled the court, and sent a lot of money to keep his official position. To be honest, his expenses were much less than now.

When it comes to corrupt officials being hateful, everyone agrees. The question is, how much difference is there between corrupt officials and ordinary people except for this name? If they can be humans, no one is willing to be a dog. But in fact, in this era, if they don’t become dogs, they will never be an official. If they become dogs, they will naturally become dog officials who only know how to embezzle!

You may see that the methods provided by Princess Qilil seem to not completely solve this problem. For example, she did not say any other more complex press freedom and more important means of rule of law. After all, she will be Zhao Fubo's wife in the future, and Prince Edward in front of her is the king of England. Having said that, she has given him many tips. As for how to do it in the future, it is not all a problem with the royal family in the future.

Prince Edward nodded, feeling that this matter was very promising. Although the content was changed by Princess Qili, it was very beneficial to the royal family in England. But he knew that his father hated the Magna Carta, so could he disobey him and sign it like this?

"Edward, I don't think you have to worry. We are eligible to talk to people outside when we win this battle. If we lose and you are caught by them, I'm afraid your father won't be able to sign him at that time. So Edward, I think you can give the civilians some small promises, but there is a premise that we must win this battle!"

Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, who saw hope, bowed to Prince Edward at this time.

"Your Highness, what Princess Qili said just now is nothing right. If you don't want to tell the poor directly, Your Highness, please give me this glorious task, and I will be your most loyal friend!"

It is hard for Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark to be really interested. Perhaps it is also obvious that he has great potential for him to have a county council in the future!
