1234. The daily life of the House of Representatives
Entering July, the Bena Military Department sent a notice to the lords of various planes in the Bena Province:
Duke Newman and the Bena Legion have been fighting in the Warsaw plane for the seventh year. The Bena Legion stationed in Handanar County of the Warsaw plane needs to be rotated again. The lords are unwilling to send private armies to fill Warsaw.
In the bottomless cave of the plane, since it is impossible to mobilize enough troops from the Bena Province, the remaining part must be divided among the lords of the plane.
When Surdak received this military notice, he realized that he was now considered a great lord of the Ganbu plane.
So this problem was directly placed in front of Surdak. The lord's private army in the Ganbu plane had just been formed not long ago.
At this time last year, the military headquarters transferred 20,000 heavy infantry soldiers from the Ganbu plane. Now the total number of troops supported by Surdak in the Ganbu plane is just over 20,000, but these 20,000 troops are scattered to various towns.
Among them, the number of troops garrisoned in each town did not even exceed a thousand.
This notice from the military department requires each of the seventeen sub-planes to which the Bena Province belongs, and each plane lord must prepare five thousand soldiers to rush to the Warsaw plane.
When he saw this transfer order, Suldak felt dizzy.
He sat in the study, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and waved away the guards beside him. When he was the only one left in the room, he took out another letter from Marquis Luther who arrived at Luyint City at the same time.
Private letter:
'Dak, I guess you must be sitting in your study worrying about this matter.
The military recruitment of troops to the Warsaw plane this time was signed by Duke Newman, so the replenishment of troops this time is completely irreversible.
I know that it is very difficult to mobilize 5,000 soldiers in the Ganbu plane. My suggestion to you is that you can use the new recruits who have served in the military this year, and then select experienced veterans from various military camps to serve as captains to form a brand new infantry.
corps.
In addition, you can also share it with other noble lords on the plane, so that you can easily gather a new army.'
Suldak scratched his hair. He knew what Marquis Luther's suggestion meant. It was to form a cannon fodder regiment.
The 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment was originally a cannon fodder regiment. After four years of fighting in the Warsaw plane, no one in the entire Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment could come back alive. The only soldier who returned to Hellanza alive was
He's the only one.
He scratched his head a little, closed his eyes and thought for a long time...
On the contrary, Surdak did not feel any psychological pressure because he shared the recruitment of troops with other noble lords.
Siya pushed the door open and walked in holding a parchment booklet, and said to Suldak: "Dak, the magic caravan is ready."
Suldak pinched the corners of his sour eyes, rubbed his face hard to show a relaxed smile, and said to Thea: "Okay, let's go!"
After getting on the magic caravan, he felt the car was constantly vibrating and shaking as the wheels rolled over the stone road, which made Suldak feel upset.
"What happened?" Siya sat opposite him in a cross-patterned dress and asked curiously.
"The military department issued a recruitment order, and five thousand troops will be mobilized from the Ganbu plane. The destination is the Warsaw plane!" After speaking, Suldak turned his head out of the window.
Siya sighed lightly and did not continue speaking.
The magic caravan drove past the door of the City Hall and stopped slowly in front of the door of the House of Representatives. Dozens of carriages were already parked in the square in front of the House of Representatives. The carriage drivers were hiding in the shade of the carriages. Someone was closing the door.
There are also people chatting in the shade.
Suldak got off the carriage and walked up the steps to the chamber of the House of Representatives.
A group of lords were sitting in the hall discussing the recruitment order issued by the military. Obviously everyone had their own channels for information, and they learned about the news no later than Surdak.
The lords were talking loudly about the defeat of the Warsaw plane in recent years, and the crowd was excited for a while.
It seems that the noble lords expressed great dissatisfaction with this recruitment order. At this time, some congressmen hurriedly walked in from outside. Everyone knew that Suldak did not like the congressmen in the audience.
He was late, so the congressman who came in against the timeline had to walk a few steps quickly.
When all the members were almost there, Suldak walked up to the rostrum, put down the manuscript in his hand, raised his head and looked around at the noble members, and suddenly the hall became silent.
Then Suldak tapped the table with his fingers, and the air in the entire council chamber seemed to freeze.
"There are six things that need everyone's resolution this time." Suldak began to speak.
The members of the House of Representatives secretly communicated with their eyes below, and they were all a little curious. There were really a lot of things that needed to be voted on today.
"The first thing is that the noble lords of Luyint City are not allowed to have any dealings with black magicians!" Surdak's eyes became extremely sharp, looking at the members of the parliament hall, and continued:
"I reiterate again, I don't care what transactions the nobles of Luyint City have with the Black Magic Priory in private, but... don't let me get caught, otherwise I won't be like the consul of Collins City.
If you are soft-hearted, even if you abandon your territory and flee to other planes, I will send people to capture everyone and hang them on crosses to bask in the sun with those black magicians..."
Suldak waited for a while and saw everyone at the council table looking at each other, and no one raised any objection.
After waiting for a while, some members raised their hands one after another, with their palms upward to express their approval. If someone took the lead, other members would follow suit, and the first resolution was passed smoothly.
Surdak waited for a while and handed a parchment document to a clerk. This document required the signatures of all members of the House of Representatives.
Then he lowered his head again, looked at the manuscript and continued:
"The second thing is about the relocation of abandoned iron mine areas. I want everyone in the House of Representatives to actively cooperate with this initiative. I know that some of the members here have some territories in the abandoned iron mine areas. I ask you to guide the residents in the territories.
It is necessary to move out of the dangerous area. Part of the expenses required during the relocation process will be solved by the financial department of the city hall, and the other part will be raised by ourselves..."
Before Suldak could finish speaking, someone on the council seat immediately stood up and objected:
"Sir Speaker, I have some opinions on this matter. Our Qiaoyint family owns half of the mountainous territory in the abandoned mining area. Since the iron ore in the mining area was mined out, this territory has not produced any output. For
As far as our family is concerned, this territory has become a huge burden, and the residents there do not pay us any taxes every year. But now your decision requires us to help them move out of our own pockets. I think this is unfair.
!”
The congressman looked very young. After he said these words, he was also a little excited, and his fair face turned red.
Suldak stood in front of the rostrum, listened carefully to his speech, and then asked other congressmen:
"Congressman Qiao Yint raised this question. Is it common for nobles who own territories in abandoned mining areas?"
The congressmen in the audience were a little stunned for a moment when they saw that Suldak didn't say anything, but then they immediately reacted and stood up one after another and said:
"Yes, that's it. Sometimes when disaster strikes, we even have to subsidize the civilians..."
"That's right! This will cost a lot of money. In the past few years, we have been fighting wars and supporting the economic construction of Mukusuo City. How can we, the lords of Luyint City, have any extra money to give to the civilians over there?
Build a new home!”
"Sir Speaker, our Glenn family does not have this budget this year!"
There were actually seven or eight members of Congress who stood up and complained about this matter. Suldak knocked on the table to calm everyone down, and then said:
"Then I have a compromise plan. These abandoned lands are a burden to you. Then, as the governor of Luyint City, I will expropriate part of the land from you. I guarantee that this part of the land will only be used for construction.
The civilian resettlement area will definitely not be too big. Wherever it is requisitioned, Luyint City will compensate the lords with a certain amount of compensation. At the same time, the requisitioned land will become a public area and your territories will not be separated.
If you can actively cooperate with this matter, then the resettlement costs for the civilians in the abandoned mining area will be borne by the city hall. What do you think?"
The congressmen in the audience couldn't help but look at each other, and someone bravely asked:
"Sir Speaker, does this need to be voted on immediately?"
Surdak waved his hand and said: "Of course not, I will give you a week to think about it. If this plan cannot be implemented, we must consider the issue of the lords who own territories in the abandoned mining area bearing part of the relocation costs.
.”
After saying this, Suldak continued:
"The third thing is to formulate a code of conduct for the nobles of Luyint City. Currently, a large number of business groups enter the Ganbu plane through Luyint City. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I need the House of Representatives to formulate a lawful code of conduct.
, not only for the common people, but also to restrain the nobles."
After Suldak said this, the parliament hall immediately fell silent again.
"..."
However, Suldak did not let the MPs vote on this proposal on the spot, but gave them some time to discuss it.
Then the fourth and fifth proposals began to be announced, and it was not until the sixth proposal that the nobles in the House of Representatives became silent.
Suldak continued: "The sixth thing is about the military headquarters issuing a recruitment order, which requires the plane lords to provide a certain number of troops to the Warsaw plane. The Ganbu plane and Luyint City are an indivisible whole, so
I need you to pass the noble recruitment order of Luyint City..."
Hearing what Suldak said, almost all the members in the parliament hall stood up.
