MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1435 Strange tricks
Facing the nobles' random playing of the qin, Lin directly resorted to the method of thunder. Of course it's not about forcing people to do anything. The cow does not drink water to force its head. The first premise is that the strength must be greater than that of the cow, so that there is a way to press the cow's mouth into the water. If you don't have this strength, you can only find a way to lure it.
Therefore, one of Lin's strategies for the Empress was to tamper with the implementation schedule of the New Deal.
First, the law and time for election by representatives of parliamentarians in each region can be arranged after the completion of the local population inventory and household registration, and it is not mandatory for the entire empire to hold elections at the same time. As soon as the parliamentary representatives are produced, they can go to the Imperial City of Neuquén to participate in the formation of the next parliament as long as they are appointed by the lord and approved by the local people.
Second, when there are more than 70% of the nobles, and the representatives of the councilors in their territory are all present, the lower council will officially begin to operate within a week after reaching the standard. The most important task is to elect the first cabinet.
Once Ge Kui was born, he could formally and legally take over the power once in the hands of the emperor.
At this point, the transfer of power is complete. How the empire will move forward next depends on Ge Kui's will.
Simply put, there is no set time point for the implementation of the entire plan. Instead, when the progress is reached, the next stage will automatically start. In order to grasp the greatest power under the emperor, everyone needs to race against time!
This is mainly aimed at two types of people. One is those who intend to cooperate with the New Deal, but who want to seek the greatest benefit in various ways.
If such people are given too much preparation time, they may not be satisfied with the census, household registration and election of members. Maybe they will actually deploy the population to make as many councilors as possible in their territory.
If you have enough time, a small town of 2,000 people is not a problem. It is true that the folk customs of the Karlsruhe Empire are aggressive, but the reason why the nobles are nobles is that their execution of will is quite impressive.
For those squires and wealthy merchants who are not nobles, they are also happy to cooperate. Just think about electing a member of parliament from a town of 10,000 people, or choosing one from a town of 2,000 people, which one has a better chance for them.
If a town of 10,000 people is split into five towns with 2,000 people, it means that the original number of councilors will be increased to five. If there is a powerful family, it is no problem to grab a single slot; when it becomes five slots, is it possible to **** them all and give them to others without sharing them?
Therefore, from the standpoint of country gentry and wealthy businessmen, they will definitely cooperate with this evil administration of population allocation. The only ones who suffer are the low-level people who are the basis for population calculations. The nobles ordered and the squires carried out, how could they still have the ability to resist?
Lin couldn't even imagine how many families would be ruined by this forced relocation. The best way is to let the nobles have no time to do this kind of population transfer slowly.
Don't look at the number of MPs reporting to the full number to discuss this kind of thing, it seems that it has no effect on the power of the nobles. But no matter whether it is to do political exchanges or run for the cabinet, if there is no member of a certain noble in the lower parliament, it does not mean that he has not participated in it.
Since he didn't participate, when the spoils were divided, would anyone remember to keep his share? I don't even know it's impossible!
Another type of people to be dealt with is those who deliberately undermine the New Deal.
Such people will obviously not cooperate with the various measures of the New Deal, and the easiest way to oppose it is to do nothing. As long as they don't appoint any members of parliament, it means that there are still opponents or doubters in the empire, and it should not be implemented.
According to past governance methods, supporters and opponents will start operations and exchange interests under the table. The two sides slowly backed down until a plan that everyone was satisfied with was introduced, and the political affairs could be implemented.
In other words, the old way of governing is all about 100% consent. If there is that kind of tough opponent, you can only appease the other party, or drive the other party out of the ruling circle, whether it is exile or exile. In short, there is no place for a trace of noise on the table.
But these people obviously have not experienced what is called 'majority violence'.
As long as 70% of MPs report to the office, the New Deal will begin.
As for Grand Duke Frias and the power of the royal family other than the empress, at most some minor nobles attached to this group of people. According to estimates by people familiar with the strength of the nobles, this group of people exceeds 20% of the total strength of the empire, but far less than 30%. That is to say, these people do not cooperate with the New Deal at all, but as long as most of the other people are present, the lower council can still run smoothly.
Combining the power of the royal family other than the empress, Grand Duke Frias can indeed stand out from the crowd in the empire. Because other people are not monolithic, they have their own requirements and goals.
However, in the matter of the lower council meeting, it became the royal family other than Grand Duke Frias and the Empress, with more than 20% of their strength to forcefully challenge the other 70% who were willing to participate in the council. The choice of either/or makes the camp against the establishment of the parliament a minority.
If the Grand Duke of Frias still strongly opposes it at this time, the later elected Master Kui can directly give a hat of rebellion, and then forcefully suppress it. No one can tell what's wrong.
The so-called negotiation is to sit at the same table to talk. When someone doesn't plan to sit at the table, and plans to turn over the table, will the person who is already at the negotiating table still be polite?
So in this carnival of racing against time, some nobles experienced the feeling of being like a bank again. Not only is it powerless to stop it, but it doesn’t matter if the pursuit is too slow and the interests are taken by others, I am afraid that I will become an ingredient on the table from the position of a sharer.
The only person who can sit still is the empress who lets the magician handle everything.
Of course, she also had to arrange matters in her own territory. But first of all, his direct territory is not that big, so things are not that troublesome.
Secondly, she is not under pressure to run for the cabinet, nor is she allowed to get involved in ruling affairs. Therefore, as long as the empress elects the representatives of the representatives in the territory directly under her own, she can wait for other people to come to negotiate conditions and give benefits, if she wants the support of the representatives in the hands of the empress.
If you don't want to be strong, you can completely describe the current state of the Empress. In addition, there is a magician, the founder of the Lost Land New Deal, who has experienced all kinds of tricks in the world before he traveled. Of course, Lin knows where the trick is.
Maybe let him do it himself, because that face won't work in the strange place of the Karlsruhe Empire. But as a trader, it is easy to instruct people where to exert their strength.
Just when everyone is still using the old method to target those big cities where dragons and snakes are mixed. That is to support a specific person, give them resources and contacts, and let them find supporters by themselves. Or a certain heir of a nobleman came forward and personally recruited supporters.
Lin used a very similar method, but the core content is completely different. This is to use the Greco Chamber of Commerce and Longqi Trade as the entry point, allowing the members of the Chamber of Commerce to contact non-governmental forces on their own. When the number of supporters exceeds 10,000, they can nominate a representative on their own and run for parliament in the name of the empress, which is equivalent to joining the camp of the empress.
Don't look at it as if people have to find supporters by themselves. The thinking of the nobles is still the same old way of thinking, thinking that as long as they show their own banner, someone will naturally come to vote and recommend themselves to join their ranks.
Moreover, the people who can be named by them are all people who are friendly with these nobles, and even have conflicts of interest. Instead of supporting these 'insiders', should we support outsiders?
But what these old-fashioned nobles did not expect was that their own people who would be selected by them were actually a privileged class to some extent. They may have sufficient financial resources and connections, but they may not be popular.
So in order to find a force that is willing to support them, how much would they have to pay to get the other party to agree not to compete and instead support themselves? Even if one person can be guaranteed to be elected as a representative, can there be a second or a third?
Lin's approach actually catered to the atmosphere of the Karlsruhe empire. That is to say, ambitious people integrate themselves and make transactions. The person who can stand out also means that he represents to some extent the interest group that supports him.
This is a horizontal link, rather than a simple acquisition. The relationship of the former will be relatively stable, while the latter may switch to others at any time because others pay a higher price.
Don't look at the results as if they are all the same. Even though monkeys feel happy or angry because they are going up and down or going up and down, people's hearts will also have different feelings because of different request methods.
Besides, there was an unexpected phenomenon that helped Lin a lot when he assisted the empress, that is, Saint Alegria's reputation among the people was unexpectedly good.
Perhaps the ruling power of the empress has been emptied by other nobles, and some even blatantly showed their contempt. But Alegria was able to take the position because she had made several great contributions and was recognized by everyone.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the internal affairs of the Karlsruhe Empire have not reached the point of anger and resentment, which is why the empress did not take the blame. When the banner of St. Alegria was re-raised, compared with the recruitment of other nobles, most people were still willing to vote for the empress.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this phenomenon is quite normal. Don't talk about Midi, just talk about my hometown before crossing. The same is looking for a job, who wouldn't want to find an iron rice bowl in a big company or a public institution.
Will enter small companies, if it's not that big companies can't enter, or the treatment given by small companies is particularly good. If large companies can enter, with similar treatment and similar development prospects, no one should choose a small company.
In the same situation, if someone puts himself in the shoes of a person, if he is a citizen of the Karlsruhe Empire, there will be two forces to recruit him. One side is holding the banner of the emperor, and the other side is just a nobleman. If the conditions are similar, of course it is to hug the emperor's thick thighs!
Because of this, the power of those big cities that the Empress can influence has expanded like a snowball. Not only did it make other nobles stunned, but even the six grand dukes had a hint of regret.
There is also a group that other nobles have never thought about. That is the Church of God.
Theocracy has always been the object of defense for the nobles, for fear that the gods will override themselves. But this time, it is different from the ownership of the ruling power in the traditional sense, but sends one or even multiple representatives in the parliament.
These representatives may not be able to gather the power to manipulate the parliament, and of course it is impossible to serve as cabinet or minister, but at least they can become a bridge between the empire and the church of gods. When the empire intends to make a decision against the church, there are still people in the parliament who can defend one or two on behalf of the church, or tip off the news.
Such a pioneering work not only caused controversy, but also brought a lot of criticism. The summoning of the Imperial Council came to a certain magician again.
