Under Suldak's sharp eyes, the congressman did not have the courage to continue speaking.
Once they reject the military recruitment order, these nobles will be destined to miss glory for the rest of their lives.
Being able to become members of the House of Representatives means that their family has a place in Luyint City.
Therefore, the more times like this, the more difficult it is to express one's position easily, especially since this recruitment order was signed by Grand Duke Newman.
Surdak is the great lord of the Ganbu plane. Everyone knows the current predicament of the Ganbu plane. Surdak's inclusion of Luyint City is considered a helpless move.
"Everyone should show up and vote! If you are willing to accept the call, or feel that this matter has nothing to do with you, you can express your attitude!" Surdak said with a dull expression, and after speaking, he glanced around.
"Sir Speaker, I wonder how much of the army recruitment quota we, Lu Yinte, need to share?"
At this time, the person who had the courage to speak was Councilor Macmillan of the Ludwig family.
Finally, someone was willing to continue talking about this topic. Suldak felt that Congressman Macmillan was very knowledgeable, so he said calmly: "Luyint City will have a quota of 1,500 warriors.
On everyone’s head.”
The congressmen took a long breath and felt that this number was not very large. After all, the population base of Luyint City was here.
Senator Macmillan asked again: "Sir, Mr. Speaker, how should the quotas for recruiting soldiers be allocated to everyone?"
Suldak took a deep look at Macmillan and felt that there was usually a lack of such a person in the House of Representatives who was willing to sing along with him.
"According to the number of residents, for every two hundred residents in the jurisdiction, one new soldier will be recruited. In addition, according to the number of soldiers in each private army, as long as the private army of each lord exceeds one squadron, one veteran will be selected for recruitment...
…" Surdak continued to explain.
After some private calculations by the congressmen, they discovered that a small town of 5,000 people only needed to recruit twenty-five new soldiers. This number was far smaller than the number of new soldiers enlisted for military service every year. This made it easier to handle.
And it is not unacceptable for a squadron to select a veteran.
Many noble lords' private armies only have one or two squadrons, which means they only need to select one or two soldiers to be recruited.
"I am willing to accept the military recruitment."
Some congressmen expressed their stance immediately.
The Macmillan MP also raised his hand in the crowd and shouted: "The Ludweide family is willing to accept the call..."
After he said this, other congressmen also expressed their agreement with the proposal.
Surdak didn't even expect that the sixth resolution would be passed the easiest. In this way, he could successfully recruit 1,500 soldiers in Luyint City, and then there would be only 1,500 soldiers in the Ganbu plane.
Three thousand five hundred heavy armored infantry warriors need to be mobilized. Of course, a large part of these warriors will also be allocated to local nobles, so the actual number of troops that Surdak needs to send will not be too many.
The noble lords of Luyint City were resistant to this recruitment order, and Surdak felt that this was excusable.
After all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen to anyone.
Once in the plane of Warsaw, this kind of cannon fodder army basically sends out as much as possible but never comes back. This means that each lord is destined to pay a pension from his own pocket.
…
Regarding the relocation of residents in the abandoned mining area, Suldak actually does not want to move both towns out of the abandoned mining area. In that case, even if the treasury of the city hall is completely emptied, it will not be enough to cover the relocation costs.
Surdakti mentioned this matter just to build a road in the iron ore area of Luyint City. After all, this road needs to pass through the territories of several nobles. Once someone blocks it, the road will probably be at the border of the territory.
The wire goes around in such a big circle.
He doesn't want this.
If Surdak only mentioned building roads, this matter would definitely be resisted by the nobles in the House of Representatives in Luyint City.
Who would want their territory to be cut in half by a north-south highway?
Of course, the nobles must not be willing to spend money. The Earl of Cushing's original idea of moving the residents of the abandoned mining area to the outskirts of Luyint has been delayed for several years and has not been realized. In fact, this group of House of Representatives
of lawmakers are obstructing.
Building this road is not easy. Not only does it have to pass through the territories of more than a dozen lords, but it also has to overcome geological hazards such as collapse and cracks in the abandoned mining area. If you want to build a decent roadbed, the money is not a small amount.
That's why Suldak came up with this idea, proposing to let the nobles who own the territory in the abandoned mining area bear a certain amount of relocation costs, so he was destined not to agree.
When the city hall proposed to carve out a piece of land from their territory for the resettlement of residents in the abandoned mining area, not many people would object. In fact, Surdak just wanted to use the land to build roads. Surdak
I feel that this road is destined to become a prosperous trade route.
As long as some warehouses are built on both sides of the road, there should be businessmen willing to rent them.
Of course, these mining area residents do not need to completely relocate to Luyint City. After all, if so many people relocate, they have to consider livelihood issues. Once this road prospers, it is estimated that it will support many people in the surrounding area.
This is the way to wealth that Suldak thought of for the residents of the abandoned mining area...
…
After the nobles of Luyint City gradually understood Surdak's temper, they finally understood that as long as he did not do anything that touched the bottom line and everything was in accordance with the rules, the consul was still willing to be reasonable.
Next, various forces in the city began to make moves, and everyone was eager to establish a good personal relationship with the consul.
After presiding over several House of Representatives meetings, Suldak also found that he still needed some supporters anyway, so that he could smoothly implement certain new policies.
In order to seek more supporters, Surdak also wanted to contact privately some nobles of Luyint City who offered olive branches.
During this time, Hathaway received letters of visit and invitations from nobles in the city in the castle, which could almost fill the basket usually used to hold bread.
For some old families in the city who want to restore their former glory, the most convenient way is to catch the high-speed train of Surdak, so many families secretly select some capable members of the family.
young people, and tried every means to force these young people to Surdak's side.
Of course, there are also nobles who want to introduce their daughters to Surdak... Then the dance becomes a social activity that Surdak must participate in.
Hathaway carefully selected a few dance invitations worth attending from these invitations, and placed them in front of Suldak.
"Count Moranod of the Ludwig family invites you to attend the summer night dance held at the manor over the weekend. As far as I know, the Ludwig family is a newly rising aristocracy in Luyint City. This
The branch family does not have much background, but they just seized the good opportunity and established many industries in Luyint City." Hathaway pointed to the signature on the invitation and said to Suldak.
Suldak patted his forehead and remembered the congressman named Macmillan, and then said to Hathaway: "I know the surname Ludweide, and his family still has a seat as a congressman in the House of Representatives."
"So? Do you want to try to contact their family? After all, we also need supporters in Luyint City." Hathaway put down the teacup in her hand, sat next to Suldak, and said with a smile to him.
Suldak nodded and said: "I am deeply impressed by the member of parliament named Macmillan Ludweide in their family. I would like to get in touch with him."
"By the way, have you finished dealing with the affairs at Yezipias Manor?" Suldak asked Hathaway.
Hathaway smiled and asked: "When will we go there for vacation again?"
Suldak thought of his road construction plan and replied with a smile: "Just wait a moment. When I open the road in the abandoned mining area, then we can take the magic caravan directly to the outside of the manor!"
The three of them were sitting on the terrace on the top floor of the castle, from where they could overlook the night view of the entire Luyint City.
Nancheng District, which was originally the darkest place in the city at night, has now become the liveliest place in the city due to the completion of the restaurant plaza. The restaurant plaza has also become brightly lit at night, and even the surrounding streets have some bright lights.
