HAIL THE KING !

HAIL THE KING !
Chapter 63: Government Policy



Although he had some ideas and plans, Fei did not immediately change the military structure and policies of the kingdom. He had only been here for three days, so there were too many things he did not know. If he tries to speed things up, it could potentially create more problems and take longer to implement changes.


Fei planned to use the couple's days to get to know more about the kingdom.


Meeting continues. It was not as serious and as great as meeting with kings and emperors in TV series and movies on Earth. Quite the opposite; the atmosphere in the Executive Hall was very lively. In the area under the throne was an artificial thin river that flowed through the hall. There were even some goldfish swimming in it. On both sides, there were two rows of neatly laid stone chairs. Soft leather covers the chairs so that the meeting participants can voice their opinions comfortably. Everyone had equal power and opportunity; they could stand up and express their opinions without the king's approval, and they would even get into heated arguments if they had conflicting opinions.


A delicate feeling of democracy and freedom and the baby quietly spread into the hall.


This was the first meeting Fei held as a king after "recovery" into a normal person, so everyone with status had a chance to participate. On the military side, except for general Brook, twenty-two strongmen including Pierce and Drogba had official seats. "These "leaders" of Chambord said whatever came to their minds regarding the royal structure. Some gave very constructive ideas, while others came up with preparations and gave Fei their opinions written on paper made of white cloth and animal skins, especially a pair of white-haired elders, he said, highly respected, and eminent in Chambord. Like magic, they put out huge piles of paper with large essays explaining their opinions and recommendations. Fei felt his head dizzy just by looking at the size of the pile.


There were many opinions and recommendations, some explaining the abuse of power from former Chairman Bazzer and others pointing out their disappointment at Alexander's previous IQ. Chambord had many drab affairs that the king had to face. Fei felt buried in all the documents. Looking at the pile of documents in front of him and the pages of recommendations his secretary had recorded on the side, Fei felt his head start to hurt. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head in pain.


Seeing Fei act this way, the strong people laughed happily. Even the old and handsome Bast had a meaningful smile on his face.


Fei was annoyed, but an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. She said to her future father-in-law correctly, “Uncle Bast, I am immature and I have no experience yet. As an elder, you must help me. Hehehe, how about this, can you separate and organize these documents and documents for me and make recommendations for each of them? That way, it will be easier for me to make a decision. ”


Bast was stunned after hearing Fei's words.


Perhaps Fei was not even aware of it, but all the tasks he outlined were part of the work of former Chief Minister Bazzer. This request from Fei meant that he had given all the executive power of the kingdom to Bast; this sudden uplift flooded the old fox fortress.


He didn't even have enough time to react, and the other people in the hall didn't expect anything like this either.


For a moment, the atmosphere in the Executive Hall became silent. After three or four seconds of silence –


"Your Majesty, I must respectfully disagree!" Someone stand.


"King Alexander, I also disagree ...." others immediately chimed in.


"Yes…… . King Alexander, Bast is a filthy, shameless traitor. He had stolen more than half of the royal treasures just half a month ago. Because of Angela, we let her slide, but her actions are still unforgivable. How can we let a person who lacks integrity and honor take on the important role of the Chief Minister? "


"I agree! Young King Alexander, you can't take sides! "


"That's true .. I feel the same …"


Suddenly, a wave of discord exploded and the entire Executive Hall went awry. Fei did not expect such a situation to arise. He glanced around calmly and was surprised to find that Brook and the strong men sitting on the west side of the hall said nothing; on the contrary, the noisiest was a dozen new faces. A dozen of these people appeared in front of him; most of them were dressed luxuriously in silk and diamond robes as well as crystals pinned in silver crowns. They all looked excited and spoke excitedly. They patted their chests and looked great and obedient.


"Who are they?" Fei turned his head and whispered to his personal bodyguard, Torres.


After the blonde-haired boy heard that, he lowered his head and retorted in whisper, "Rajaku, the six men in front of you wearing silver crowns are the highest nobles in the castle, and the five men in luxurious clothes were the richest merchants in the kingdom . According to royal customs, these people had an important role in the King's meetings; they could even influence the king's decisions. ”


“So it's like that. "Fie nodded and vaguely understood what was going on.


Regardless of whether it was on Earth or in this world, there are always some well-spoken and seemingly loyal politicians who have a lot of wealth taken from society and enjoy the power to act above the law. They can take credit from the military, play around with their power, form conspiracies and promote their "justice and honor. All of that to satisfy their own selfish desires.


At this moment, the nobles and merchants in the Executive Hall acted in a similar manner.


This discovery made Fei sigh again, “So Alexander the King lived a chaotic and wrong life. How could this fat and foolish merchant appear in the King's Executive Hall? The whole place is noisy and chaotic like an open market.... It seems Chambord Kingdom is like a small town on Earth and I am only the mayor of the city .... ”Fei realized that to build an ideal empire in his mind, he was a, there is still a long road to take.


“Silence, stop arguing. You, tell me your name. '' Fei waved his hand and raised his voice to interrupt the heated argument. He pointed towards the silver-crowned man at the very front shouting loudest and asking.


"Louis, Your Majesty. I'm Viscount Louis. "The silver-crowned man stepped up and bowed lightly with respect to the standard of nobility, and then replied proudly.


"Oh, Viscount ..... Louis?"


Fei felt that the whole name was difficult to pronounce. To be honest, he does not know how the Western Titling system works, but it does not affect the next question, “Mr. Viscount, if Uncle Bast is no match, who else do you think can do this task well? "


"King Alexander, to be clear, I'm not trying to be arrogant, but I'm pretty sure that I'm the best candidate ……"


Louis knocked on his chest again and said proudly, “I'm the purest bloodiest noble in Chambord. My father had the honor of being summoned by Emperor Zenit and meeting him in person. My family has a proud history and countless awards. I. ... Therefore, I am the most appropriate candidate for the position of Chief Minister. ”


Before he could finish, the nobles and other merchants stood up one by one and clapped as they voiced their agreement.


Brook and the strong men on the other hand all showed contempt on their faces.


Fei shook his head because he did not know whether to laugh or get angry. He knows exactly what this – is it is a battle for power and profit among politicians. However, the few unqualified politicians in front of him were too stupid; their actions were too lame and created a laughable scene. Fei looked at Louis who was still proudly announcing his honor with disgust, then suddenly he said, "Alright Viscount ... uh. I've only got one question for you. If your answer can satisfy me, then the position of Chief Minister is yours. ”


"That sounds good . Now let me ask you: when all the soldiers and citizens of Chambord fought and bled for the kingdom, WHERE. Is THERE YOU?"


Fei sat high up on his throne. He sneered as he said every word; he did not even try to hide his humorous expression.


"I. ...." Viscount Louis was stunned.


"Hahaha, when we fought and bled with the King, sir. Viscount must be hiding under************woman and shivering and whining. Hahaha ..... ”Drogba is an honest man. After he had listened to that much nonsense, he could only stand up and ridicule Louis and his followers. Brook and the other strong people immediately laughed out loud.


"You ...... you are dirty ..... Since when do you qualify to appear in the Executive Hall?" Viscount Louis' face suddenly flushed red, and shouted as he explained to himself, "The nobles have the right to be freed from the recruitment of war." …… As a pure-blood noble in Chambord, of course I will not be like you a bunch of lowly peasants, doing all the tedious work of fighting and killing. ”


"Fighting and killing is boring?" Fei's face turned cold when he heard that. He said angrily, “Alright, that's all. Viscount Louis, I am very dissatisfied with your response. Unfortunately, you will not get the position of Chief Minister ... Also, dear Viscount, be careful who you despise. The people you call these are the heroes who defended Chambord. If I hear you disrespect the heroes of Chambord again, you will have the honor of being the first unlucky soul whose nation title was stripped by me. ”


As he said that, his intent to kill was no longer contained within his eyes.


Louis was stunned and did not dare to say a word.


Then, Fei turned around and said to his future father-in-law, “Uncle Bast, it seems like I have to trouble you by arranging documents and documents for me. Hehe, this Viscount Louis just reminds me; I now officially declare that from today on, you will be appointed as the new Chief Minister of Chambord. ”


At this point, Bast had completely calmed down from his initial shock. Upon hearing this official appointment, the handsome old man did not refuse; he bowed gracefully to show his acceptance.


"Huh, Your Majesty, I disagree. You can't do this! This is clearly favoritism …….. Appointing a traitor as Chief Minister would destroy the entire Kingdom of Chambord. "In the group of fat merchants sitting on the east side of the hall, a fat bearded merchant stood out boldly and challenged Fei's decision unconvincingly when he saw Viscount Louis' meaningful gaze.


Fei was furious.


If someone is a coward, then they should slip the ball and pretend to be dead. However, the people in front of Fei pushed him to the limit of his ability. They act as if they are right and devoted. Fei hated this kind of fake politician; bad memories of this from his life on Earth suddenly appeared in his mind. He did not hold back at all as he slammed his palm into the hilt of the throne, stood up, pointed at the fat man's nose and swore harshly, "Go it yourself! I like favoritism; who do you think you are? What can you do? From now on, these shameful fools will never appear in my palace again ...... Where are the guards? Throw out these unqualified fat pigs from here! ”


As soon as Fei was done, a dozen armored soldiers rushed in, picked up a few large merchants and threw them into the street.


Under the gasps and unbelievable expressions on everyone's faces, the remaining six nobles stared at each other with embarrassment and finally sat quietly in their seats.


Fei sat high on the throne. He looked around, and not a single noble dared to look into his eyes.


The great power of the nobles, the chaotic distribution of power and the political system had strengthened Fei's resolve in restructuring the royal and military administrative system. “Because I am already the King of Chambord and my fate is tightly bound to the people in front of me, I cannot afford not to work hard. I have to change the current situation and safeguard and protect all the things I value. ”


After thinking about it, Fei knew treating a deadly disease required heavy medicine. He had to give the kingdom a high dose of medicine to address this problem.


He switched to Paladin Mode and a holy, bright and venerable sensation emanated from his body. He stood in front of the throne and with a stern expression on his face, he said firmly, “As King of Chambord, I declare that over the next ten days, I will revolutionize the distribution of power, I will revolutionize the distribution of power, administrative and military systems. From today, all orders and procedures in the administrative and military systems will be abolished, and the entire kingdom will enter a 10-day post-war adjustment. During this time, all administrative and executive duties will have to be taken care of by Bast, and military duties will be taken care of by Brook. If any of you have a good idea for this reconstruction and revolution, talk to Bast and Brook about it and they will report it to me. ”


The grandeur of the king and the holiness of the paladins were combined together at this moment. Fei's voice echoed around the palace. No one dared to refute him; everyone bowed and bowed to Fei's orders. Even the nobles who felt reluctant to sweat buckets and did not dare to speak. Under this atmosphere, they even felt the illusion of everything being as it should be.


This was the advantage of Paladin Mode; it could increase one's persuasion, influence, and majesty and make the opponent submit to one's orders. It was the latest method of cheating that Fei thought about.


After the resolution was passed, the meeting afterwards went quite smoothly.


When the meeting was over, Brook, one of the two new authorities of Chambord stood up and said something else, “Rajaku, there is something very important that I must remind you of. In about half a year, the Military Exercises between all the affiliated kingdoms under the Zenit Empire organized every three years would begin. If we want to get a good ranking, we have to start preparing now. ”


After Brook said that, everyone in the hall nodded and let out a voice to agree with him. The atmosphere is back heating up. Drogba stood up and shouted as he banged on his chest, “This time, we must destroy our old rival Blackstone Kingdom and advance to the level 5 affiliated kingdom. ”


Fei was curious and asked, “Military Training Kingdom Affiliation? Uh, what's that for? "


Regarding the fact that after King Alexander returned to normal, he had always forgotten a lot of basic information and common sense, everyone was used to it. Brook explained patiently, "Your Majesty, Military Training is a competition organized by our parents, the Zenit-Empire to measure the strength of every kingdom, so all the empires affiliated with Zenit must participate. If we perform well in this competition, we will have the opportunity to advance Chambord's position to a level 5 affiliated kingdom. This is a great opportunity for us. ”


“Forward to level 5 affiliated kingdoms? Is there any benefit? "


"Of course, Your Majesty. Chambord was currently a level 6 affiliated Zenit affiliated kingdom, and ranked lowest among all the other kingdoms. Therefore, we can only receive very limited support from the Kingdom of Zenit. If we take this opportunity and advance to a level 5 affiliated kingdom, we will not only receive more materials and better financial support; we will also be allowed to increase the number of citizens and soldiers that Chambord must have in order to gain more land and territory. We might even be rewarded with a higher star energy training scroll. With all of that, the strength of Chambord would increase significantly! "


This was the first time Fei had heard something like this. He asked without thinking, “Is there currently a limit on the size of the population and the size of the military of Chambord? Also, you mentioned the soil and energy training roll .. How does it work? "


"Your Majesty, according to Zenit Law, a level 6 affiliated kingdom can only have less than 10,000 citizens, 500 soldiers, only one castle and less than 500 acres of land. Once a kingdom goes beyond these restrictions, excess property will be stripped if it is given a light sentence, or it will be severely punished by the royal parents for breaking the law if it is given a harsh punishment. Also, a level 6 affiliated kingdom can only have two star ranked energy training scrolls and two star ranked energy technique scrolls. Trading and acquiring higher ranked energy rolls and techniques is strictly prohibited; the consequences of violating these laws will be even more severe. ”Brook continued,“ After we advance to the level 5 affiliated kingdom, Chambord will be able to obtain and maintain double the resources it currently has, and the power of Chambord will increase exponentially …… accordingly, if we can advance to a level 4, level 3, level 2 or even level 1 affiliated kingdom, the restrictions will loosen even more. ”


“What are the laws of this shty? Didn't Zenit Empire want its affiliated kingdoms to be better and stronger? "Fei can't understand right away.


"There is an old saying in Azeroth Continent – that a dog that is too ferocious can tear the throat of its owner. For the parent kingdom, they must ensure that their dictatorship will not be threatened by others. So on the basis of not diminishing the power and might of the empire as a whole, all the power and might of their affiliated kingdoms should be strictly limited.
