Chapter 458 The purpose of the meeting is to make progress
For Klia Vinci…
During these days, his experiences and encounters seemed like a dream.
As for the reason for all this...
It all starts with the letter of authorization he received.
Before this, Klia Vinci's life experience was no different from that of the vast majority of civilians living in this city.
His life was a microcosm of the lives of most Basel civilians: hard and difficult. Although he still had to endure hunger in the winter, he could still barely fill his stomach at other times.
And now...
He was no longer just an ordinary civilian, but a member of Idar's lower house.
An official from Idar's Government Office explained to him in detail the powers that the members of parliament had and the responsibilities they had to bear.
According to the Idar official, the lower house is a platform for the common people to speak out.
There, civilian deputies can also tell their own stories, speak frankly about the injustices they have suffered, and explain the problems and shortcomings in the management of Idar City Hall.
There, once the proposal of the civilian councilors is supported by a certain number of civilian councilors, it will be presented to the desk of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, and become a powerful tool to spur the Idar Government Hall.
As Klia Vinci learned more about the Idar Commons, he became more and more shocked.
This was definitely the first time in thousands of years that civilians had a channel to make their voices heard! And what surprised him the most was...
Although the Idar House is divided into the Upper House composed of nobles and the Lower House composed of commoners, but... to a certain extent, the power of the Lower House is even greater!
You know, the vote of the Idar House of Commons can even directly affect the next director of the Idar Government Office! Although Klia Vinci knew that they could not decide on the list of candidates yet, but... letting civilians participate in the vote, this was beyond his imagination!
He had never seen any nobleman who valued the opinions and support of the common people as much as the young Duke of Idar.
so……
When he, wearing his newly-tailored parliamentary uniform and following the team in front of him, stepped into the majestic Basel Palace for the first time, Clea Vinci's heart was filled with excitement.
The Basel Palace has stood on this land for many years, but this is the first time that Klia Vinci has witnessed the luxurious life of the Basel royal family.
The Idars made no changes to the interior of the Basel Palace.
The interior furnishings and decorations of this palace are full of artistic charm, and the hundreds of halls and rooms are magnificent and luxurious.
There are furniture with extraordinary shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, as well as huge oil paintings and knitted tapestries on the walls.
In addition, more than a dozen huge arched windows and doors open to the palace garden, allowing a panoramic view of the colorful flowers...
Even though the Bolsen family had already landed their royal flag, the magnificence of the Basel Palace still dazzled these civilian parliamentarians who came from poor backgrounds!
Finally, when the 26 noble councillors and 278 civilian councillors took their seats in the palace...
Accompanied by the roar of cannon salutes outside the palace, the Duke of Idar, Bruno Stuart, finally walked onto the high platform at the front of the hall under the eager gaze of the crowd.
That was originally where the throne was located.
Now, the Idar officials in charge of preparing this meeting have replaced the throne there with a row of elegant and simple solid wood tables and chairs, which look grand and decent.
Bruno naturally sat in the most central position, and on both sides below him, old Ford, Lister and other officials of Idar Government Office followed closely and sat down one after another.
Bruno raised his head and looked around with his own eyes.
Whether they were commoners or nobles, they were all wearing robes at this moment that symbolized their status as parliamentarians.
The only difference is...
The robes of the members of the House of Lords are dark purple and they sit closer to the front.
Behind them, hundreds of members of the House of Commons in grey robes carefully looked at the young duke with respect, admiration and nervousness.
finally,
Bruno spoke slowly, "This is the first meeting of the Idar House, but it is also a meeting that will go down in history."
"Don't be nervous or afraid. No matter who you were before you came here, you are all the first members of the Idar House!"
"Please remember that the purpose of this meeting is for progress, for the Principality of Idar, and for our common future!"
…
There is actually not much to discuss in the first meeting, because most of the decisions have already been made, and it is just a matter of going through the process here.
But even so, the mood of the civilians present was completely different from the past.
In the past, they only survived by relying on the nobles.
But now, they truly regard themselves as part of this country!
so……
Although the work reports of Ford, Lister and others were lengthy and boring,
However, they still listened to the policy report read out by Idar officials from beginning to end with unprecedented enthusiasm as supervisors, and tried to understand as detailed as possible the major and minor events happening on this land.
After a series of work reports, the next topics will be the construction of the Idar Parliament Building, the groundbreaking of the Arc de Triomphe, and how to set up a new administrative division on this land.
As for the expensive Idar Palace...
That was the Stuart family's internal affairs and did not require a vote or approval from the Idar Parliament.
Although most of the noble members of the House of Lords were pretending to be reserved, some, including Clea Vinci, spoke enthusiastically and put forward their opinions on the redivision of the former Kingdom of Basel.
Different lands and cities have different customs, social conditions and social atmospheres, and the proposals of these Basel civilians will undoubtedly provide important reference for Bruno.
therefore……
After a long discussion, in order to give the participating members a sense of participation, the Duke of Idar issued an order on the spot to divide the entire Principality of Idar into eight provinces.
Among them, the three provinces of Valence, Almis and Idar were the territories under the rule of the Principality of Idar before the outbreak of the Basel Conquest War.
The province of Valence is the Valence Plain west of the Eider River, while the newly established province of Almis is the vast land north of the Solon River, including the Dale Hills and the Solonburg region.
The newly created Goethe Province, Basel Province, Stein Province, Southeast Province and Central Province were located within the original sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Basel.
In conclusion,
With the first plenary session of the Idar Council, almost all participants showed long-lost smiles.
Bruno was happy because he had laid the foundation for the future of the Principality of Idar.
The parliamentarians were very happy because they were finally able to personally participate in the affairs of the Principality of Idar and gained a full sense of participation.
In addition to the officials of the Idar Government Office, who may face questions from Idar councillors in the future due to work problems...
The entire Principality of Idar presents a scene of peace and tranquility.
At least……
So far, that's it.
【Today's joke】
There was an egg that particularly liked going to teahouses to drink tea, and later it became a tea egg.
