Faced with the nobles' random play on the piano, Lin directly resorted to thunderous tactics. Of course, he did not force people to do anything. To force the cow's head to drink water, the first premise is that the strength must be stronger than that of the cow, so that he can press the cow's mouth into the water.
.If you don’t have the strength, you can only think of ways to seduce it.
Therefore, one of Lin's strategies for the empress was to manipulate the implementation schedule of the New Deal.
First, the method and time for the election of parliamentary representatives in each region can be arranged after the local population census and household registration are completed. It is not mandatory for the entire empire to be elected at the same time. As long as the parliamentary representatives are elected and have been appointed by the lord and approved by the local people.
If approved, you can go to Neuquen Imperial City to participate in the formation of the Lower Council.
Secondly, when more than 70% of the nobility and the parliamentary representatives in their territory are present, the lower assembly will officially begin to operate within a week after reaching the target. The most important task is to elect the first cabinet minister.
Once the gekui is born, he can formally and legally take over the power that was once in the hands of the emperor.
At this point, the transfer of power is completed. How the empire will move forward depends entirely on the will of Kuei.
To put it simply, 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. Everyone needs to race against time in order to grasp the greatest power under the emperor!
This is mainly aimed at two types of people. One is people who are willing to cooperate with the New Deal, but are trying various ways to gain the greatest benefits.
If such people are given too much preparation time, they may not be satisfied with census, household registration and election of members. They may actually allocate the population to produce as many members as possible in their territory.
If you have enough time, it won't be a problem to have a small town with two thousand people everywhere. The people of the Karlsruhe Empire are indeed fierce, but the reason why the nobles are nobles is that their ability to execute their will is quite impressive.
For those squires and wealthy businessmen who are not nobles, they are also happy to cooperate. Just imagine whether one councilor is elected from a town of 10,000 people, or one councilor is elected from a town of 2,000 people. Which one has a greater chance for them?
If a town of 10,000 people is split into five towns of 2,000 people, it means that the number of seats for one council member is increased to five. If there is a strong family, there is no problem in grabbing a single seat; when it becomes five seats
, is it possible that we can still rob them all and not give them to others?
Therefore, from the standpoint of the gentry and wealthy businessmen, they will definitely cooperate with this evil policy of population allocation. The only ones who suffer are the ordinary people at the bottom who are the basis for population calculation. How can they resist when the nobles give orders and the gentry implements them?
ability?
Lin couldn't even imagine how many families would be destroyed by this forced migration. The best way was to prevent the nobles from having time to do this kind of population transfer slowly.
Don't hold discussions just because the number of members has been reported to be sufficient. It seems to have no impact on the power of the nobles. But whether it is a political exchange or a campaign for cabinet, if there are no members of a certain noble family in the lower assembly, it won't matter.
It means he was not involved.
Since he didn't participate, when the spoils were divided, would anyone remember to keep a share for him? Even if you think about it, it's impossible!

Another type of people to deal with are those who deliberately undermine the New Deal.
Such people will obviously not cooperate with the various measures to launch the New Deal. The simplest way to oppose it is to do nothing. As long as they do not elect any members, it means that there are still opponents or doubters in the empire, and it should not be implemented.
According to the past governance methods, the supporting and opposing parties will begin operations and exchange of interests under the table. Both parties slowly give in until a plan that everyone is satisfied with is introduced, and political affairs can be implemented.
In other words, the old way of governing was all about 100% agreement. If there were tough opponents, you could only appease the opponent, or else drive the opponent out of the ruling circle, and it could be exiled or exiled. In short,
There is no room for any noise on the countertop.
But these people obviously have not experienced what is called "majority violence".
As long as 70% of the members report for duty, the new policy will begin.
As for Grand Duke Frias, plus the power of the royal family except the Empress, and at most some small nobles who are attached to this group of people, according to the estimates of people who are familiar with the strength of the nobles, this group of people exceeds 20% of the total strength of the empire, but it is far from the total strength of the empire.
Less than 30%. In other words, these people are completely uncooperative with the New Deal, but as long as most of the others are present, the Lower House can still run smoothly.
By combining the power of the royal family other than the empress, Archduke Frias can indeed stand out among the others in the empire. This is because the others are not monolithic. They each have their own requirements and goals.
However, when it came to the discussion of the lower council, it became the royal family besides the Grand Duke Frias and the Empress, with more than 20% of the strength to overpower the more than 70% of others who were willing to participate in the council. It was an either/or choice.
The camp that opposed the establishment of parliament became a minority.
If Archduke Frias continues to object forcefully at this time, the cabinet minister elected later can simply label him as a rebel and then suppress it forcefully. No one can say that it is wrong.
The so-called negotiation also requires sitting at the same table. When someone does not intend to sit at the table and intends to turn over the table, will the people who are already at the negotiating table still be polite to them?
So in this carnival of racing against time, some nobles feel like a bank again. Not only are they unable to stop it, but if the pursuit is too slow and the interests are seized by others, they are afraid that they will be divided.
The eater's stance becomes the ingredients on the table.
The only person who is sitting firmly is the empress who lets the magician control everything.
Of course she also has to arrange things in her own direct territory. But since her direct territory is not big, it is not that troublesome to do things.
Secondly, she has no pressure to run for cabinet office, nor is she allowed to get involved in governing affairs. Therefore, as long as the empress elects the representatives of the congressmen in her direct territory, she can wait for others to come to negotiate terms and give benefits. If she wants the congressmen in the empress' hands
Representative's words of support.
Being strong without desire can completely describe the current state of the empress. Moreover, there is a magician, the founder of the New Deal in the Lost World, who has experienced various tricks in the world before he traveled. Lin certainly knows where the trick is.
Perhaps if he had to do it himself, he would not be able to get through in a strange place like the Karlsruhe Empire with his face. But as a trader, it would be easy to instruct people where to put their efforts.
Just when everyone is still using the same old method to target those big cities where dragons and snakes are mixed. That is, to support a specific person, give him resources and connections, and let him find his own supporters. Or a descendant of a certain noble family comes forward,
Recruit supporters personally.
Lin used a method that was very similar, but with completely different core content. This was based on the Greco Chamber of Commerce and Longqi Trading, allowing people from the chamber of commerce to contact private forces on their own. When the number of supporters exceeded 10,000, they
You can nominate a representative on your own and run for parliament in the name of the Empress. This is equivalent to joining the Empress' camp.
Although it seems that people are required to find supporters on their own. The thinking of the nobles is still the same old idea. They believe that as long as they put up their own banner, people will naturally come to support them and recommend themselves to join their ranks.
And the people who can be named by them are all people who are close to these nobles and even have interests entangled with them. If we don't support these 'own people', how can we support outsiders?
But what these old-fashioned aristocrats did not expect was that the people they would select were actually members of a privileged class to a certain extent. They might have sufficient financial resources and considerable connections, but they might not necessarily win the hearts of the people.
So in order to find forces willing to support themselves, how much price do they have to pay in order 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 member of the parliament, can a second or third person be chosen?
Lin's method actually caters to the atmosphere of the Karlsruhe Empire. That is, ambitious people integrate and make deals on their own. The person who can stand out also means that he represents the interests that support him to a certain extent.
group.
This is a horizontal connection, rather than a simple purchase. The relationship of the former will be relatively stable, while the latter may switch to others at any time because others offer a higher price.
Even though the results seem to be the same. Monkeys will feel happy or angry because of going back and forth or going back and forth, and people will also have different feelings due to different ways of requesting.
Besides, there was an unexpected phenomenon that helped Lin a lot when assisting the empress, that is, Saint Alegria's reputation among the people was unexpectedly good.
Perhaps the empress's ruling power was eclipsed by other nobles, and some even openly showed their contempt. But Alegria was able to ascend to the throne, wasn't it because she had done several great achievements and was recognized by everyone.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the internal affairs of the Karlsruhe Empire have not reached the point of outrage, so the empress did not take the blame. When the banner of Saint Alegria was raised again, along with the recruitment of other nobles
After a comparison, most people are still willing to join the empress.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this phenomenon is very normal. Let’s not talk about the lost place, let’s talk about my hometown before time travel. I am also looking for a job, and who wouldn’t be willing to find an iron rice bowl in a big company or a public institution.
If you can get into a small company, if it's not that you can't get into a big company, or the treatment offered by a small company is particularly good. If you can get into a big company, the treatment is similar, and the development prospects are similar, no one would choose a small company.
In the same situation, if someone puts himself in the shoes of a citizen of the Karlsruhe Empire, two forces come to recruit him. One party holds the banner of the emperor, and the other party is just a nobleman, and the conditions are similar.
, of course hugging the emperor’s thick thighs!
Because of this, the power of the big cities that the empress was able to influence grew like a snowball. Not only did the other nobles feel dumbfounded, but even the six grand dukes had a hint of regret.
There is another group that other nobles have never thought of. That is the church of gods.
Divine power has always been something that nobles guard against, fearing that the gods will overtake them. But this time it is different from the traditional ownership of governing power. Instead, one or even multiple representatives are sent to the parliament.
These representatives may not necessarily be able to gather the strength to control the parliament, and of course they cannot hold ministerial or ministerial positions, but they can at least become a bridge between the empire and the church of the gods. When the empire intends to make decisions about the church, there are still people in the parliament.
They can defend themselves on behalf of the church, or they can tip off information.
Such an initiative not only caused controversy, but also brought a lot of criticism. The summons of the Imperial Council came to a certain magician again.
