As the first-hand gossip that Fiona learned from Lord Lorraine came out, the hearts of all the nobles who came to seek refuge dropped.
What restructuring?
What abolishes nobility?
Turns out it was just a change of name.
It used to be called a noble, but now it's called a member of parliament, that's all.
I thought Lorraine had really abolished the nobility, depriving them of their titles, fiefdoms, property and noble privileges, turning them into the same mud-legged people as the untouchables.
It turned out to be nothing more than that. It really scared everyone's little hearts and made them jump wildly.
This Lorraine is so annoying~!
However, it seems that this skinned Lord, who is said to be the neighbor of Pluto, is also quite good.
This arrangement is still acceptable, although it feels a bit wrong to no longer bully the people as arbitrarily as before. Treating them as livestock inferior to pigs and dogs at will.
You know, this glorious tradition has been passed down among the Semitic people for thousands of years, and even the untouchables themselves are used to it.
Suddenly it disappeared, as if something was suddenly missing in my mind, awkward and uncomfortable.
But now is an extraordinary period. Humanity's millions of troops are approaching the city. The situation is stronger than that of humans. The Semitic people are facing a great change that has never happened in history. If they continue to hold on to the old ideas from the past, they will be ruthlessly abandoned by the times.
What's more, they still have to rely on the poor gang to help everyone fight with their lives, so it is only natural to temporarily give in a small step and deceive them.
When we turn around, we will have deceived the human occupying forces into leaving. Everyone will close the door and then find a way to quietly take back their rights.
Just let those idiots be stupidly happy for a few years.
The Semitic continent may belong to humans. It may also belong to the Semitic mud-legged people, but it will ultimately belong to their royal family and nobles.
And... the best thing about this is that after becoming a member of the parliament, you can stand on the sidelines and constantly point fingers at the government, but there is no one who is responsible for the government's mistakes.
Parliament, this is an amazing invention~!
Although Lingshan has not had an emperor for a long time, it is still an out-and-out centralized country.
All power belongs to the High Priest of the Undead, or the agent of the High Priest of the Undead.
Although everyone is a noble and has a very high title, when the government is meeting, they can only squat and listen to the speeches of the big bosses.
Anyone who dares not to listen will check the water meter and drink coffee. Life is extremely insecure.
Under this situation, everyone has been living cautiously in the whirlpool of Akadeline.
But now that the power in their hands has suddenly increased so much, they can supervise the government openly and give them instructions, which really makes them overjoyed.
Everyone was so happy that they almost fainted. Power means status and wealth.
Therefore, everyone gave a thumbs up and praised Sir Luo for his benevolence and righteousness~!
‘Follow the wolf and eat meat, follow the dog and eat shit.’ This old saying is indeed true.
Everyone followed Lorraine, and they were definitely on the right track. Lord Lorraine had just arrived in the Semitic territory, and the first thing he did was to plan a location for everyone. Where could he find such a good person?
As for the guys who are still resisting in spirit flash, it's not that everyone looks down on them, they will just eat shit from now on, and judging from their appearance, they probably won't even be able to eat hot shit after Madolins.
However, for them, a new problem appeared before them.
Sir Luo is both a senator and a member of the House of Representatives, but he has given him a thousand quotas~!
You must know that there are only three to four hundred high-ranking nobles in the Caribbean now. These are the people who have fled one after another in recent months. Originally, there were even fewer, only three or two big cats and kittens.
In other words, as long as you don't make any principled mistakes, such as having your water meter checked by Lei Erye, the bureau chief of the State Administration of Taxation, and a group of tax policemen, you can become the legislator who makes a lot of money out of nothing.
But... but...
Everyone is a noble, especially those who can go to the Caribbean. Whether they are loyal to their country or shameless scum, they are all extremely shrewd, bold and careful, and full of adventurous spirit.
They all said clearly: Although they are officials, the knowledge between officials is huge.
For example, the power level between the House of Representatives and the Senators, the level gap between the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Special Committee members, ordinary members, etc., etc., are all filled with a lot of tricks~!
Senators have more power and correspondingly better treatment. They have their own office, chauffeured car, transfer secretary, and there are unspoken rules for how many interns they can have each year.
The House of Representatives is relatively weak, but the treatment is pretty good.
Each of the two houses has multiple committees, important ones such as the Armed Services Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Budget Committee, all of which have real power and are very rich.
As for the Patriotic Health Committee, Women and Children's Rights and Interests Committee, Environmental Protection Committee, etc., their names make people uninterested.
Although in the middle, those few old immortals... Bah, those few respected old nobles will definitely hold the most important positions, such as Pat and Hawks.
But for positions such as committee chairperson below, you can still operate them a little bit.
This is the critical period to grab a seat, and if you don’t let go of your children, you won’t be able to seduce the wolf.
Where there is input, there is output.
At this moment, everyone gritted their teeth and took out their wealth that had been accumulated for thousands of years and went to visit Lord Luo. This was not surprising. The Semitic people have always had a tradition of running for official positions, and the price was clearly marked.
And giving a little gift to express your feelings is also a kind of respect for the leader.
A petty guy like Lorraine may not remember who gave him a gift, but he will definitely remember who didn't give him a gift.
If at this time, because of such a small reason, you end up being demoted from your position, it will be a big loss~!
As we all know, Lord Luo and Lord Lei have a very good reputation in this regard. They do things when they are paid, and they do as many things as they take.
Due to the poverty of the Semitic people's supplies, most of them fled and only had time to carry some valuables. They also had no high-tech products to sell, so they had to give hard food.
Like a large piece of crystal, a ruby as big as a fist, a diamond as big as a duck egg, a top-grade emerald the size of a brick, a gold nugget the size of a pony...etc.
These families have been inherited for at least a thousand years, and there are many good things hidden at the bottom of each press box.
And all of them said with great humility that this was just a small gift and not respectful at all. They also asked the Lord to show their respect and accept it.
As the deputy commander-in-chief of the human legion, Lord Luo has always been as clean as water and as honest as a mirror. He never accepts bribes from his subordinates or takes advantage of the masses.
Of course, he tried his best to refuse the gift-givers. But everyone was crying and shouting, and tried their best to force the gifts into his hands.
Some people even hit their heads on the ground. And they even said: As long as Sir Luo says no, he will be killed on the spot~!
Lord Luo, who is he?
How could you be blackmailed by people like them?
If this were really the case, Sir Alex would not be in the position of commander of the coalition forces today.
This kind of little trick is worthless in Lorraine's eyes.
He also lost his temper at that moment and sternly denounced this evil attempt to win over and corrupt the senior leaders of mankind.
Every time at the end, Lord Luo would bang the table angrily: "To actually plan to use a mere amount of money to corrupt this commander, who is the senior leader of the human coalition, is simply lawless and lawless, and is simply a violation of the coalition."
What a huge insult~!”
xxxxxxx
Amidst Lord Luo's roar, another guy who came to give gifts hurried out of the room with a pale face.
Looking at the rest of the people outside, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, a guard next to him came forward and made an inviting gesture with an expressionless face, motioning for the man to follow him out.
The rest of the people looked at the back of the man who left in a hurry, and couldn't help but glance at each other. Then they all hugged the things in their arms tightly, as if their future destiny was all tied to these things in their arms.
Immediately, an attendant appeared at the door of the office, looking at everyone with an expressionless face, and said: "Next, His Excellency Dark Lord Ross."
One of them stood up hurriedly, with a respectful look on his face, and at the same time corrected him hurriedly: "No, no, what Dark Lord, it's already a republic now.
We are all citizens, so brother, just call me Ross."
The waiter couldn't help but glance at him in surprise. A rare smile appeared on his originally rigid face, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Ross, your Excellency is waiting for you."
Ross was secretly happy when he saw it: This trick is indeed effective~!
There were more than a dozen people in front of him, and they never failed to make this attendant look good.
He looked at everyone very proudly, and hurriedly walked in with their envious and jealous eyes.
When he arrived in the office, before he could clearly see the situation in front of him, he heard the attendant next to him reporting loudly, "Sir, Mr. Ross has arrived."
Lorraine immediately raised his head and looked over, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties with slightly bald hair standing in front of him.
The weather was still slightly cool, but sweat continued to form on this shiny forehead.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Dark Lord Ross..."
Immediately, the attendant next to him said: "My lord, the Lord of Rossan said that it is now a republican government, so he has voluntarily given up the pseudo-lordship of the previous dynasty."
A glimmer of light flashed in Lorraine's eyes: There are very few Semitic nobles I have seen who can be so decisive. He is indeed a smart man.
As soon as many people came in, they would specifically mention their previous titles, as if this would make them more noble and worthy of wining over, so that the lord would consider giving them better positions.
But little did they know that the higher they raise it, the more they have hugged each other. When the prince kills him, the burden will be less.
Killing their fat pigs is neither illegal nor moral, so why not do it.
Lorraine looked at Ross and smiled happily: "It's rare. Among the former nobles, it's rare to find a person who can respond to the government's call, knows God's will and obeys the people's will, and has a far-sighted vision."
After hearing Sir Alex's praise, Ross immediately smiled, knowing that he had made the right bet, and said humbly: " Sir Alex was ridiculous."
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart: If this bastard hadn't come here and Madolins was a perverted persecutor, the bastard would be willing to give up the carefree life of the nobles before. What kind of hell would he come here to act like a citizen?
.
And the most infuriating thing is that this bastard is a human count.
But here he brazenly told himself that giving up the title was "knowing God's will, obeying the people's will, and having far-sightedness." It's true that the crow falls on the pig. He only sees other people as bad, but cannot see that he is bad~!
There is no limit to this double standard~!
At this time, Lorraine waved, and an attendant brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
Ross couldn't help but feel flattered. He had never heard that someone could get tea after entering the Lord's office.
Lorraine hesitated for a moment. Then he looked at a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Ross... uh... Mr. Ross, I see that what you filled in on this application is to apply to join the House of Representatives."
Rose hurriedly sat up straight and said: "Yes, Sir."
Lorraine asked strangely: "Why don't you go to the Senate? Now most people are asking to go to the Senate. The Senate has good remuneration, high benefits, and the work is light and easy."
Ross thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Sir, the Senate is indeed good, but I think the House of Representatives is better."
Lorraine became even more curious now: "Oh~?"
Ross was not polite at the moment and said frankly: "Sir, I will tell the truth.
Everyone is now swarming into the Senate. There are more wolves than meat. If a little guy like me gets in, at most he will be an ordinary member.
But this House of Representatives is different. There are basically few people in it now. But after I entered, I naturally became a very important figure.
A man would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox. That's why I am willing to join the House of Representatives."
Lorraine glanced at him in surprise, and immediately said with approval: "Okay, that's good. That's great. The Semitic people nowadays lack people like you who have the courage to face challenges."
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I will assign you to the House of Representatives as you wish.
But I want to remind you in advance that although there are few people in this House of Representatives now, in the future, they will have a full 650 people.
And although these people are designated now, in the future they must be selected from various Semitic places.
If you are unfortunately selected by then, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Ross smiled and said confidently: "Sir, you are right, but you must also know that since I have been selected, I am confident that I will not be selected again."
Lorraine's eyes couldn't help but a cold light flashed.
Seeing the light in Lorraine's eyes, Ross suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He spoke so fully that he suddenly revealed his hidden ambition.
Historically, ambitious guys like this have always died very young.
Thinking of this, he felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his forehead, and there was also a bone-deep cold in the room.
I secretly regretted it in my heart and thought to myself: I got carried away with my pride~!
At this moment, Lorraine suddenly laughed and said: "That's good, dear Rose, I look forward to the day when you can show your talents."
As he said that, he reached for a piece of paper, wrote a few big characters on it, then handed it over and said: "Take this letter of introduction, go to the House of Representatives, and then you can go to work. But it's a pity.
Yes, you came a little late, and you were the second one to ask to go to the House of Representatives.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives has already taken office, and you can only take the second seat."
Ross couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.
At this moment, Lorraine continued: "Of course, if you choose to join the opposition party, if your party has more seats in the parliament in the future, you can become the speaker."
Rose's face looked a little better now.
He thought for a while and then said: "Sir, may I ask who the speaker is?"
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled. At that time, the Lord was busy accepting gifts and didn't look at anyone at all. The only thing he remembered was that the man sent a big golden bull.
He had no choice but to pick up the document and rummage through it. Then he said: "The speaker is Mr. Constance."
Ross frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Then can I know which party this Mr. Constance belongs to?"
Lorraine looked down at the document and said, "Oh, he's a Republican."
Ross bowed slightly and said, "Then I am the Democratic Party."
Lorraine couldn't help but stretched out her hand and slapped the table hard, and praised: "It's really beautiful~! I'm very optimistic about you. Do it well~!"
Ross then bowed again and said: "Thank you, Sir."
He paused and remembered something. He said hurriedly: "Well, Sir, this is a little gift from me. It's not a sign of respect, but I hope you'll accept it."
With that said, he placed his gift on the table.
It was a huge crystal plate. There were countless gems inlaid around it. When the sun shined, it suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh: These Semitic people are so unsubtle, they all send gifts directly to the office like this.
He immediately looked serious and said sternly: "What are you doing? I think you are a talent. That's why I made you a member of the parliament, but you bribed me with something. This is so wrong. It's so wrong
It’s disappointing~!”
Ross couldn't help but be startled. He was talking so well just now, but why did he suddenly change his attitude?
At this time, I suddenly heard the Duke make a dramatic turn and said: "But...but because of your loyalty to the republican government and your strong desire to contribute to the Semitic people, I reluctantly accepted it."
, and hereby also put forward an extremely serious warning, which will definitely not happen in the future~!
Otherwise I will never be polite~!"
Rose suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, your lordship is noble and upright, and he is indeed a role model for our generation. I will learn a lot from you. I will definitely live up to your expectations and contribute to the greatness of the Semitic people."
Work hard for your career..."
Lorraine glanced at him approvingly, then stood up and said, "Then let's work together."
Ross also knew at this time that this was the Lord seeing off guests, so he stood up hurriedly, bowed to Lord Luo, and walked out quickly.
Everyone around looked at it and cast envious glances: This person was not scolded by the Lord, but walked out on his own. This is rare~!
And all the guards couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
They have all summed up their experience. Generally speaking, the reason for being scolded by the lord is that the gift is too light and the blind dog must go back and make up for it.
As for those who were scolded by Sir Alex and even threw out their gifts, by the way, this is also a very rare situation. That means that the dog is really short-sighted. He needs to go back and make up for it.
share.
And walking out with a relaxed look on his face, it goes without saying that this was already approved by Sir Alex.
At the moment, all the guards were also polite to Ross. It was his first time to enter Sir Alex's office. Those who can handle things smoothly will have a bright future.
In the room, Fiona flashed out of the darkness.
She looked at Lorraine holding the crystal plate and admiring it in the sunshine. She couldn't help but hit it up and snatched it away and said, "Do you still have fun?"
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled.
Fiona pointed to Ross's back in the distance and said: "Are you blind? Didn't you see the ambition in his eyes when he was talking? Although such a character is not famous, he is definitely not tolerated.
underestimated.
Shouldn't we try our best to suppress him? Why did you still allow him the position of deputy speaker?"
Lorraine looked at her strangely and said, "Weren't you always worried about the lack of talents in the Semitic tribe? Now you finally have one, but you plan to kill him?"
Fiona's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she was speechless for a moment.
In the past, her father did not become the president. As a Semitic educated youth with ideals, knowledge and responsibility, he naturally had to worry about the future, future and destiny of the Semitic people, and these important national issues.
But now that her father has become the president, he naturally has to think more about his family.
Lorraine reached out and pushed her down on the chair, and then comforted: "Fiona, don't worry. If you let a person like that out, something might happen. But in Parliament...
You have already seen what this council is like in the human race.
Nothing else comes out of it, just teammates who are like pigs.
In there, even a dragon will be dragged down by his pig teammates and eventually be brought down."
Fiona turned her head and thought for a moment, then had to agree: "What you said seems to make sense."
Then he threw Ross behind his head and began to admire the crystal plate in his hand.
Under the sunlight, the crystal plate emits colorful light, making her jade-like face even more bright and beautiful... (To be continued...)
