15 minutes later, accompanied by aleeti and Gabriella, Renault walked into an extremely spacious conference room, ready to attend the meeting led by the "Foreign Affairs Committee".
After the meeting, there will be a meeting on "funding review of the Middle Rhine River Regulation Project" presided over by the "water conservancy construction affairs committee", waiting for his attendance.
There are a total of 37 committees, large and small, in the house of Representatives. Dozens of meetings are held every day, and no less than 10 meetings are held, such as "arms export".
As the supreme speaker, if Renault conscientiously fulfills his duties, he will definitely fall into a sea of culture. He is as busy as a top all day and has little private time and space.
But it''s impossible.
MMP, it''s not easy for the master to go through a meeting every day Go to NIMA, the master will not wait
As a result, Renault left his daily affairs to his own harem group. He would never come to the Hague castle, except for the extremely important affairs, such as the title donation act.
Ah, it''s hard to be a man, even harder to be a speaker!
However, from another point of view, it just shows that the Republic of Qianhu has already had the rudiment of "modern state".
In the former Qianhu Kingdom, the whole country was divided up by the nobles. They closed their doors and played on their own territory. Other people could only watch and had no right to interfere. Even his Majesty''s direct jurisdiction was less than 30%.
In this case, how many affairs can the Kingdom have?
But now, Renault has destroyed the old system by various means, from the "feudal enfeoffment system" to the "centralized system". The government''s control power has penetrated to the bottom of the society, and the resources that can be mobilized are countless times more than before.
Take conscription as an example.
At Renault''s command, the administrative department and government agencies at all levels are fully operational. From the Republic''s nearly 5 million people, up to 1 million troops can be recruited, which is close to the 5:1 ratio between the army and the people.
, this is absolutely an astonishing figure, enough to frighten the entire territory woodlouse.
Under the premise of the same population, other kingdoms can recruit up to 300000 troops, and the normal operation order of society is on the verge of collapse.
This is almost three times the difference between the two.
This shows how great the advantage of centralization is.
……
"Dear speaker, secretary general, chairman and members, it''s a great honor to meet you all!"
Viscount Chris, the diplomatic envoy of the Silver Lion Kingdom, first said:
"I would like to ask if foreign investors are allowed to buy the railway bonds to be issued in your country? We are willing to pay a high price! "
As soon as this was said, the conference room exploded.
"count Plato, I don''t want to ask you the question of vetting his request today
Other members also expressed their opposition.
"Oh, don''t you think your question is too much, viscount?"
"Hey, this is the Republic, not the Silver Lion Kingdom. It''s not a good thing to have too much appetite..."
In the noisy shouts, you can even hear the curses such as "greedy black guy" and "damned black charcoal head".
Renault listened with a smile, but did not speak.
"I didn''t expect that the attraction of railway bonds was so great that even foreign nobles were attracted by them..." Aliette, sitting next to Renault, sighed in a low voice.
"The total number of railway bonds issued in the first phase is 5 million guineas, which sounds like a lot, but there are more domestic investors than they can share No one wants to see foreign investors come for food. " Miss Gabriella said the truth.
Viscount Chris refused to give up. He boldly looked at Renault and said in a respectful voice:
"Your Excellency, may I have the honor to know your opinion on this matter?"
The meeting room immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at Renault nervously.
As we all know, it is only when you grow up that you have the highest power of adjudication. No one dares to disobey the will of this great man.
"You asked a stupid question." Renault''s voice was lazy, but sharp as a dagger, pointing to the heart of the people, "if you want to get something, you must pay the corresponding price As long as you are willing to give up enough interest to satisfy everyone, who will refuse you to join the game? "
"The reason why you ask me for my opinion is that you want me to stand out for you But the problem is that if I agree to your request, it will only make you feel satisfied, but it will make more people dissatisfied. For me, this is not a small price So what can you do to make it up to me? "
Viscount Chris was silent.
Can he pay the price of satisfying the strongest man?No kidding!
It''s a hard thing for the king to do.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for my presumptuousness." Viscount Chris sighed and bent down, "your words are full of wisdom Give me a good lesson
However, this kind of practice of "seizing food even if you are dogged" has aroused public anger unexpectedly.
Count Aristotle, the chairman of the board of directors, scoffed in a loud voice:
"Mr. Viscount, you are really not very smart..."
Other members have also launched a group mockery model.
"Viscount, it seems that your ability is not worthy of your ambition..."
"Viscount, the speaker has said a lot of wise words. Study them more. Maybe you can become more intelligent
In the face of the fierce attack, viscount Chris turned pale.
Renault could not help frowning.
One of the most important reasons why he dislikes such meetings is that there are too many people talking about them, they are always full of all kinds of interest disputes, and the efficiency is extremely low.
He gently raised his right hand, and the sound in the conference room disappeared.
"Baron Kafka." Renault looked at another diplomat from the white antelope Kingdom and said, "tell me your request."
Baron Kafka bowed respectfully and opened his mouth and said:
"Your Excellency, I want to know, do you sell magic weapons to foreign countries? Bailing kingdom is willing to spend a lot of money to buy 10000 magic air guns If we can, we also hope to buy the "Manniu" armored vehicle... "
Strictly speaking, Baron Kafka should ask the sea tide leader about this, not through the parliament of the thousand Lake Republic, because they are two non-interference territories, and the parliament has no control over the export of magic weapons.
However, all people, including nobles and civilians, acquiesced that the two were a whole.
Isn''t it all the domain of the speaker? Is it necessary to divide it so clearly?
Renault thought for a moment and said simply:
"''manniu ''can''t be exported at present. We can talk about magic air gun!"
The Baron''s face showed a smile of surprise.
As early as the beginning of last year, many people quietly inquired about the purchase of magic weapons from Haichao chamber of Commerce, but without exception, they all got a negative answer.
This time, the Baron was ordered to come to inquire. In fact, he didn''t hold much hope. Unexpectedly, Renault agreed to sell air guns.
As for the "Manniu" armored combat vehicle, he just asked without any hope. After all, no one would easily sell this kind of powerful military and national weapon. It''s not surprising to get a reply of refusal.
"Don''t rush to be happy." Renault said lightly, "as we all know, magic air gun is an epoch-making magic weapon. Even ordinary people with it can easily kill the awakened."
"I said before," if you want to get something, you have to pay a corresponding price. " White antelope Kingdom wants to buy 10000 air guns. It''s not enough to have jinnar alone. I have other additional conditions I''m afraid you don''t have the authority to agree to these conditions. "
Baron Kafka nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking rice:
"Your Excellency, I understand, I understand I will inform your country immediately and ask your majesty to send a delegation with sufficient authority to discuss arms procurement with your country. " Doings of ghosts and gods, miss Ali Etty, and
, "the
," added the following: "
," besides, I will ask your majesty to appoint the royal highness of Princess Jaina as the head of the delegation.
The meeting room was strangely quiet. All the committee members pretended that they had not heard or seen anything and sat down in their seats one by one.
