Chapter 455: The House! The House!

Actually...

It wasn't just Rhea who was standing next to Bruno. Many people in the entire Principality of Idar had doubts about the formation of the upper and lower houses.

In their opinion, the Principality of Idar is now thriving in all industries and the Idar Government Office is running efficiently. It seems that... there is no urgent need to establish the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Moreover, if it was just to fulfill the promises made to the nobles, why would there be a House of Commons composed of commoners? Leia couldn't figure out Bruno's thoughts, so she took this opportunity to ask the doubts in her heart.

In the Kingdom of Cecil,

The common people were more afraid of the nobles. They depended on them for survival and could only get by with the grace of the nobles.

And here,

In the Principality of Idar,

Since the nobles' fiefs had been taken away by the Stuart family, everything that happened on this land was mostly managed by the Idar Government Office.

If you want to farm, you only need to deal with the Idar Ministry of Agriculture, and the excess food will be handed over according to the established market price.

If you want to work, there are job openings everywhere in the Principality of Idar recruiting workers. As long as you are willing to work, you will not starve to death.

The Public Security Bureau is responsible for handling disputes within the principality, while the Idar Army is responsible for dealing with conflicts outside the principality.

The existence of the Government Office provides civilians with a path to advancement, and the birth of Idar Public University provides civilians with the possibility to pursue their dreams.

The gradually improved Idar Law made it impossible for the nobles to decide the fate of the common people according to their own likes and dislikes.

The serfs' emancipation declaration that had been issued long ago also allowed the serfs to regain their civilian status based on their own performance.

Although Leia always had sympathy for the common people,

But……

The lives of the common people in Idar are much better than those of the common people in the Kingdom of Cecil!

Leia is a noble after all. Although she has a good impression of common people, what she doesn't understand is... since things have come to this point, why should common people be allowed to participate in the politics of the Principality of Idar.

Can they...really shoulder this burden? "Of course it is necessary."

Seeing this, Bruno nodded very seriously.

He actually knew very well what Leia was thinking.

Rather than being skeptical about the establishment of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, it is more about being puzzled about the establishment of the House of Commons.

And this,

This is also the idea of ​​the vast majority of people in the Principality of Idar.

Not only the nobles, but even the common people who were the beneficiaries were deeply shocked by Bruno's move.

Because even the common people themselves don't know whether they can shoulder such a responsibility! "Maybe it seems that everything is fine in the Principality of Idar now, but...what about the future? What about the future? Who can guarantee that the Stuart family's rule can continue forever in this land?"

"The future..." Upon hearing this, Leia couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did Bruno decide to have an upper house of nobles and a lower house of commoners?

Is he trying to replicate the political system of John Bull? Of course not!

Although after traveling through time, I have a different face than before, but...

Deep down in Bruno's heart, he is still an outstanding young man of the new era, and his bones have long been engraved with the mark of a flower-growing family.

Indeed, the Principality of Idar is now thriving. For most people, this is an epoch-making achievement.

In their hearts, and even in the hearts of the vast majority of civilians, this is enough.

But Bruno saw further and thought more.

The history of mankind on Earth has long pointed out the trajectory of civilization development for Bruno.

If we continue along this path, there is a great possibility that the Principality of Idar will follow the same path as John Bull in the future.

But... Bruno didn't want this.

Because in those Western countries in the previous life, with the decline of aristocratic power and the continuous development of society, businessmen who had accumulated enough wealth had transformed into a new vested interest group - capitalists.

Nowadays, the arrival of merchants has indeed brought development and changes to the Principality of Idar.

The prosperity and development of business has promoted economic development and social progress, allowing civilians to get jobs, support their families, and obtain the dignity they deserve.

But at the same time, Bruno was always on guard.

Because in the West in the previous life, as capital continued to expand, capitalists were even able to formulate laws that suited their own interests! It was precisely because of this that he always firmly controlled the key industries that were related to the economic lifeline of the Principality of Idar in his own hands.

Bruno also remembered,

A long time ago, when public intellectuals were praising the West, they often said that there was no corruption in foreign countries and that everyone had noble character.

But in fact,

Amid the crazy expansion of capital, power-for-money transactions seem to have become a legitimate rule in Western politics.

A wide variety of political donations, tens of billions of campaign funds...

This is not called corruption; this is a "term package" that is reasonable, legal and fair to everyone.

Bruno certainly doesn't want the Principality of Idar to become so hypocritical in the future.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

so……

The House of Lords and the House of Commons established by Bruno were also different from the House of John Bull.

first,

In the Principality of Idar,

There will not be much difference in the powers held by the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The House of Lords is composed entirely of aristocrats, tentatively set at 26 people, while the House of Commons is composed of common people from all walks of life, including farmers, workers, students, merchants, sailors, etc., tentatively set at 278 people.

As for power...

According to Bruno's current vision, both the upper and lower houses will have the power of democratic supervision, participation in politics and decision-making, and can submit bills and legislative requests to the Idar Government Hall.

In addition, the House of Commons will have the power to vote on the candidate for the head of Idar's Government Council.

only……

Unlike the John Bull family, members of parliament from the Principality of Idar will not be able to participate in the election, and the list of candidates will be nominated by the Idar Government Office.

As for the other powers that may be granted, they are still under consideration by Ford and others. (Leave some room for easy amendment)

In conclusion,

Bruno does not want the future Idar Parliament to become a stage for party competition.

If we do the same as Ermao and elect an actor comprador who knows nothing about politics, it would be a laughing stock.

but……

At this moment, many things will be useless even if they are said.

therefore,

Bruno simply replied softly, "The common people know better what they want, and they also know better what the problems of the Principality of Idar are now."

"Only by involving civilians can the Principality of Idar identify the pain points, make accurate interventions, remove the shackles of mutual communication, seek the correct methodology, and avoid the rigidity of administrative measures and governance methods."

Leia: “…”

That’s all for now. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to offer them.

It’s indeed a little less, so I’ll go write my paper first.

Don’t forget history, and strive to become stronger!
