The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 823

Chapter 823

Originally, Wen Li wanted to come to meet her in person, but there are too many things. Now the situation in the Snow Country is not stable. In particular, although a compromise has been reached between the old and the new forces, there are still many contradictions.

All of these have to be made by Wen Li, and she can’t walk away at all.

“No, I won’t go to the parliament building for now.” Du Lei shook his head and said.

The Parliament Building was converted from the former Frost Building. The Frost Building is a symbol of the old royal power. It is now replaced by the Parliament Building, which is a symbol of the change of times.

“Not to the Parliament? Where are you going?” Karen asked in a daze.

“Do you know where Master Pop is now?” Du Lei asked.

“Master Pope? Is it the former Secretary of Finance Pope? He has been staying at home since he left office. He must be in the mansion now.” Karen thought for a while and said.

“Then you take me to Master Pop’s mansion. I really want to meet Master Pop.” Du Lei said calmly.

Master Pope sneezed for no reason. It was early spring, and this spring was obviously much warmer than before, but he still felt a chill in his back, which made him shrink his neck. .

“Master Pop, now Master Kraft is picking up her son. After resigning and staying at home, nothing will matter. No one is in charge of the overall situation. We are all waiting for you to come out to preside over the situation.” Inside a splendidly decorated mansion, there is The official said excitedly.

They are all officials of the new government with the newly formed parliamentary structure, and most of them hold their previous positions.

At first glance, they are no different from before, and they still hold good positions, but the changes in the system have made the treatment of the two different.

In the past, they enjoyed a lot of privileges, and their respective industries could bring in a lot of income. Except for the extremely rare honest officials like Minister Kraft, the vast majority of other officials, which family does not own a large area. Land, and monopolize the sale of a certain area?

This can be considered a common occurrence in the history of Snow Country, and no one will be surprised by this, or think that there is something wrong.

Until this top-down reform broke out in the Snow Country, these noble-born officials suddenly discovered something in shock.

That is, their land was re-liquidated. Except for retaining a small portion, most of them were redeemed by the authorities for illegal reasons, and most of the monopolistic stores were also sealed up by the authorities.

This gave these officials from the traditional nobility a head start. They began to question the change to oppose it, and secretly began to fund the rebels with the intention of overthrowing the unstable authorities.

They believe that they have this strength, and the only thing they lack is a leader. Originally, Minister Kraft was the most suitable candidate, whether it was seniority, prestige, or connections.

The officials have every reason to believe that as long as Minister Kraft raises his arms, although they are unlikely to overthrow the authorities, it is enough to remind the young man.

Without the support of these great nobles, she would not be able to change the Snow Country into the beautiful appearance she preached in her speech!

“Everyone is quiet, quiet, everyone’s mood is completely understandable to Popper, but everyone must know that I have resigned, and I am no longer the Minister of Finance, and now I am just an idler, so even if you say that, I am too There is nothing you can do.” Pope’s eyes scanned the surroundings.

He is the owner of this magnificent mansion. The guests who sit down are all high-ranking officials, and they have one thing in common.

That is, they belong to the old aristocracy, and they are the kind of people whose interests have been damaged in this reform.

“Master Pop, although you have resigned, your influence is still there. Who doesn’t know Master Pop’s prestige is second only to Master Kraft. Now Master Kraft is getting older and has no ambitions. Regardless of whether we live or die, but Master Pop, you can’t just ignore it.”

“Yeah, Lord Pope, as long as you raise your arms, we will definitely respond to you. Your Royal Highness Wen Li is so aggressively eroding our interests, which makes us unable to live. We must be persuaded. She, Master Pope needs to take the lead.”

“Now you can no longer call’His Royal Highness Wen Li’. She has become Senator Wen Li. It is clear that the royal family is the biggest nobleman and landlord, but she betrayed all of us. Between the applause, she must do something to teach her!”

The officials are very excited. If this is in public, they would never dare to say such a thing, because Wen Li’s prestige has reached an unprecedented level.

The most important thing is that the commanders of the several major legions have sworn allegiance to her. Of course, Wen Li issued a statement to make these commanders loyal to the new Snow Country and the people, but everyone knows that these legion leaders are still affected by traditional ideas. , Still regard Wen Li as the lord, this is an undeniable objective fact.

But after all, this is not a public occasion, but Pope’s mansion. Moreover, Pope has resigned and is not an official.

The officials at the banquet were all his old friends and all attended as guests. This was a private gathering.

Coupled with the fact that there are guards guarding closely outside the door, they dare to speak so unscrupulously.

“Well… so how much do you want to do? I don’t mean that I want to go out of the mountain when I ask, but to communicate peacefully with everyone as a friend. Anyway, everyone here is my own, not outsiders. Right?” Pope said, rubbing his hands.

“Now that the Snow Country is in such a situation, it is simply a miasma. It goes against our traditions in the Snow Country. Such messing will surely anger the gods and invite retribution. Therefore, we should resist this meaningless change and restore it to In the previous order.”

“But what about the southerners? If it is restored to the previous order, it will not have to fight again? Don’t forget, the Frost City was almost lost before, so I think it is almost impossible to change the order. The possible thing is, what we have to do is to put forward our interest requirements.”

“Oh? In your opinion, what kind of interest requirements should be made?”

“First, we must stop suppressing the traditional aristocracy. We have all contributed to the Snow Country. We cannot just weaken our land and wealth. Second, I am not opposed to the establishment of a parliament, but we must restrict the South The number of people, we must control two-thirds of the seats.”
