Chapter 515 New Prime Minister
On December 28th, the new cab members were announced.
First of all, the new prime minister of the cab has been confirmed. It is John Anthony, the former chancellor of the exchequer, and other cab members are also qualified.
Like Scond''s predecessor in power, the Earl of Argyle resigned from the Scottish government this time and served as the deputy prime minister and foreign minister.
The former Prime Minister William Selsey served as the governor of Scond and became the first nobleman to govern Scond in history.
In order tomend William Selsey''s ten-year meritorious service, the 27-year-old His Majesty Edward canonized him as a baron for life and rewarded him with an Irish ranch.
This is much better than Farris Alexander''s lifelong jazz, which shows His Majesty the King''s love for him.
The position of chancellor of the exchequer that attracts the most attention is the governor of Irnd, Thomas Mane, which is surprising and inexplicable.
He has only served as an official for more than ten years, and he has jumped up to the top of the kingdom, which makes everyone very envious and jealous.
At the moment when His Excellency John Anthony was sworn in at the Pce of Westminster, nobles and officials from all over the United Kingdom rushed to London to attend the inauguration ceremony.
Aristocrats including Ennd, Scond, Irnd, Wales and other barons and above, as well as French aristocrats in Normandy and Brittany who have not yet sworn allegiance, wille to the Pce of Westminster to participate in this rare ceremony.
The local officials are the sheriff, sheriff, county speaker, and county inspector at the county level, who can enter the Pce of Westminster to attend the inauguration ceremony.
Although there are not many nobles with titles in Ennd, there are hundreds in Scond, dozens in Irnd and Wales, and hundreds of county magistrates in the United Kingdom. The entire auditorium is packed and overcrowded.
Although this is the case, there are still people who want to participate, but they do not have the status, and no matter how much money they have, it is useless.
Of course, ambassadors stationed in London from various countries also attended and participated.
To the surprise of the diplomatic ambassadors, there were only two dukes standing at the forefront of the entire United Kingdom.
One is the Duke of Norfolk and the other is the Duke of Edinburgh.
The former is a century-old aristocratic family, while thetter is a new aristocrat.
Even the marquises are very few, while the earls and barons ount for the most.
The numbers are added together, and the total is no more than two hundred.
And some French nobles from the Normandy and Brittany regions of France, dressed in Chinese clothes, were in the auditorium as spectators.
In a kingdom with a poption of nearly 8 million, there are only more than 200 nobles, two dukes, and several marquises, which is really surprising.
The ceremony was held as usual, His Majesty the King and the Queen arrivedst, and then the cab ministers swore allegiance and took office.
His Majesty Edward and Queen Mary came here to witness the birth of a new cab.
With the passage of time, the birth of the new cab of the United Kingdom has also be the focus of attention at home and abroad.
After all, although His Majesty the King governs the kingdom, the Prime Minister is the direct executor and important advisor, and has a deep influence on the kingdom''s policies.
For example, the predecessor William Selsey, he gave the kingdom and European countries the impression of reform and boldness.
In the face of conservative forces at home and abroad, he has been faithfully adhering to the will of the king, implementing reforms, carrying out political and economic affairs, and boldly and unscrupulously sending troops to France in diplomacy.
It can be said that although His Majesty Edward has carried out a strategic pulse, the actual executor is William Selsey. The difference in the way of execution must be due to the different style of the prime minister.
For example, in the face of the aristocratic forces, if it was the first Prime Minister Faris Alexander, he must have been slow, hesitant and insinuating.
William Selsey, on the other hand, has no scruples. He will definitely use both soft and hard methods decisively, and solve the problem simply and neatly, quickly and refreshingly.
After all, Faris Alexander had developed a soft-spoken governance during Henry VIII''s period, and progress in reform was very hesitant.
Subsequently, throughout December, nearly one-third of the county-level officials in the entire United Kingdom reached the three-year period, and began to be promoted or demoted or t.
And this month, the cab ministers also began to use their power to start the review of county officials.
The promotion and demotion of a group of officials quickly established the prestige of the central government, and the newly formed cab also began its own five-year period.
As the new Prime Minister, John Anthony first carried out reforms, with the acquiescence of His Majesty the King, starting with fiscal and taxation.
For example, the cab gave strong support to certain projects, such as the shipbuilding industry, which increased the subsidy from six shillings per ton to ten shillings; the subsidy for grain imports increased from five pence per ton to eight pence; the timber industry, especially shipbuilding Good wood, as well as sulfur, saltpeter, etc., are tax-free.
For the Kingdom''s traditional textile industry, more tax reductions and exemptions, wool continues to emphasize a series of taxes such as the prohibition of exports.
Moreover, the entire cab invited mathematicians from the Royal Academy of Sciences, as well as major businessmen, to start a new round ofmodity taxation adjustments, prepare topile a model ofmodity taxation, and pass it down from newspapers and officials.
...
The sky was slightly bright, Edward broke free from the tender hands on his waist, and gently prepared to get up, not wanting to disturb the beautiful woman on the bed.
And his arm identally touched the pair of turbulent towering giant peaks, and there wereyers of mountain waves, as if about tondslide, which was extremely exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, are you ready to get up again?" Jiaren seemed to be disturbed, and azy and hoarse voice sounded from beside him.
The owner of Jufeng, with a slightly darkplexion, exquisite features, brown wavy hair, slender waist, and smooth and slender legs, is simply the bestpanion for a man.
"No, I decided to rest for a while!" The whole persony on the huge software, Edward felt that this is the paradise of life, and there is no such thing as getting up early.
"However, Ma, your English is getting better and better!" Edward praised.
"Of course, I am the smartest among the nobledies of Abyssinia. English is very simple for me!"
Although the girl was lying t, her face was still full of pride, regardless of her current situation.
"Do you still want to go back now?" Edward asked a spoiling question after ying around for a while.
"No!" The girl pondered for a while, then opened her ck and white eyes, and said decisively:
"My father is more than just my daughter. Besides, even though he loves me the most, I''m still just his daughter, not his son!"
As she spoke, the girl cast her eyes on Edward''s handsome face, stroked his upright nose, and said softly:
"Abyssinia has no carriages and no newspapers, so what is there for me to miss?"
"He won''t pay a big price for me!"
Speaking of this, the girl suddenlyughed softly. She still remembers that she recklessly talked to the man in front of her, and even mentioned giving him arge bounty! How ridiculous it looks now.
Edward also seemed to remember this scene, andughed too.
The two looked at each other, azure blue to ck and white, for a moment, both of them had the desire to do it again.
