Release that Witch - Chapter 480

[Chapter 473 Building the City Step 3]

After two weeks of study and exploration, at the end of the first month of the spring of the new year, Barov, the head of the city hall, at the request of His Royal Highness, held the first enlarged meeting of the city hall in the reception hall of the castle.

In addition to the heads of various departments of the first plenary meeting, this enlarged meeting also included some fortress nobles, and the number of participants reached as many as sixty-five.

The learning process itself is an assessment. After Barov took charge of the city hall for a year, it is easy to distinguish which nobles are suitable for this kind of work, and which nobles have no training value – so this level alone, nearly half of the Nobles were excluded.

According to His Highness, he had already given these little nobles the chance to take the fast train, and since they missed it, there was nothing they could do. Those who could not keep up with the times would only be eliminated by the times.

Barov deeply sympathized with this, no matter whether His Highness is a devil or a god, his territory has shown a completely different atmosphere from other places in the kingdom – if this is the new era, he is happy to go with His Highness.

The main content of today’s meeting is to make a final vote on the unified law after the city is built, and at the same time let the nobles of the fortress know the content of the law in advance. Barov has been preparing for this for a long time, and now it is finally time to unveil the curtain.

A thin hardcover book was placed in front of everyone, with a string of golden characters printed on the cover – “Kingdom Fundamental Law”, which was also the core law drafted by His Royal Highness and modified by himself.

Judging from the name alone, it can be seen that His Highness has far-reaching goals, and he also believes that His Highness’s power should not only work in the western region.

“Let’s get started,” His Royal Highness Roland, who was sitting at the head of the long table, nodded.

“Yes,” Barov cleared his throat, “Everyone in the city hall must have heard the news that a new city will be built in the western region, and the law in front of you is the general law that will be implemented in His Highness’s territory after it is completed. You can You can read it yourself

, or you can listen to my statement. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot, and His Highness will answer them.”

There was a sound of flipping through the book, and he also lifted the heavy cover, revealing the fine parchment paper underneath. Written first page.

“The first thing you see is the general outline, which mentions the structure and system of the new territory…”

Article 1, all the power belongs to Roland Wimbledon in the territories under Roland Wimbledon’s rule.

Article 2, the city hall is the highest authority in the territory, and under the leadership of Roland Wimbledon, it handles all matters related to the governance of the territory.

Article 3. The inflowing population in the territory can be promoted to full citizens through various channels, and the city hall should maintain at least three promotion channels.

Article 4: After becoming a full-fledged citizen, there is no longer the distinction between freemen, farm laborers, servants, and slaves in the past, and there is no distinction between men and women.

Citizens are protected by law, have all the security and benefits of the territory, and also have the obligation to pay taxes, serve in the army, and defend against the enemy.

Article 5. Nobility is also a member of the official citizens, and the title no longer has the corresponding power, and can be inherited as an honorary title according to law.

Article 6: Citizens’ personal safety and legal property are protected by Roland Wimbledon and are inviolable.

Article 7 Citizens shall have the right to receive education, the right to freely choose a job, and the right to marry freely.

Article 8, the Territory encourages legal business practices and free trade.

Article 9…

Barov rubbed the pages of the book, and narrated one by one.

The laws made by the nobles rarely involve the people. Even the free citizens of the city, in the eyes of the great nobles, are nothing more than objects for exploitation and recruitment. It is rare for the people of the lower class.

Probably he really believed that only by relying on the power of the people can we fight against the coming doomsday war.

Barov didn’t care whether His Highness relied on the nobles or the people, he just wanted to do the things His Highness explained as well as possible so that he could hold these powers tightly in his hands.

When he was in the capital, he was transferred from the Astrologer Association to be an assistant to the Minister of Finance. He thought that he would soon be able to set foot on the top level of the Kingdom of Graycastle, but he did not expect that after ten years, his agitated mood gradually became numb and desolate.

The reason why he agreed to Wimbledon III’s request and went to Border Town with the fourth prince was that apart from an illusory promise, there was also a sense of brokenness in it.

Unexpectedly, now he has realized his expectations in another way.

Barov has never seen a real devil, but he is well aware of the strength of those armored knights. His Royal Highness can easily deal with them, and naturally he can also wipe out the resistance of the entire kingdom.

Sooner or later, His Highness will be crowned king and rule the world, and he will also become the hand of the king who holds great power. If the Minister of Finance is still alive at that time, what expression will he use to meet him?

…

Since most of the content of the general outline has been publicized to the people in a relatively popular way, the heads of the various departments are not surprised. Only when they mentioned the prohibition of human trafficking and the abolition of slavery did they arouse whispered discussions among the spectators. The rest of the regulations were not even questioned.

As for the transformation of the nobles, these small nobles have not enjoyed much of the benefits of territories. Most of their territories are in desolate places, so naturally they don’t care much about losing the so-called enfeoffment and legal rights.

In addition to the study for the past two weeks, many nobles have already planned to sell their land to the city hall, and then use the money to open a new business such as a mechanical processing plant or a chemical plant in Longsong Fortress.

explained the laws one by one in this way. The enlarged meeting lasted from morning to afternoon. During the banquet in the middle, the attendants directly brought the food to the table, and everyone watched while eating.

Barov’s water glass was also changed several times.

Despite the sore throat, he still enjoyed it.

Finally, the meeting entered the last topic, which was also the only regulation in the “Kingdom Basic Law” for everyone to discuss and decide: to determine the flag and name of the new city.

Everyone’s discussion suddenly became noisy.

So Barov first asked everyone to create a name and an ideal pattern in their minds, and then put them on the table for the participants to evaluate and decide the final answer.

After several rounds of voting and elimination, the banner and name of Xincheng were finally selected.

The former is based on the emblem of the royal family of Graycastle. The bottom pattern is still a tower spear. A five-pointed star is added above the tower, and three small stars are added below the tower. The big star symbolizes the lord Roland Wimbledon, while The little stars represent the City Hall, the First Army and the Witch Union respectively.

The latter was established as Neverwinter City.
