Lord: I have a skill talent tree

The next day, the parliament was held as scheduled.

Today, the Duke of Lyon also came and gave a speech.

The general meaning is that the Duke's Mansion and everyone present have worked hard for the prosperity of Maro City for many years, and everyone has shared the rise and fall, honor and disgrace.

The Duke's coronation ceremony will be held in the Holy Light Church tomorrow, and he welcomes all guests to witness this great moment.

After hearing this, everyone had almost no reaction, only the two best friends of the Duke's family stood up and applauded.

The applause was sparse, and the scene was once very embarrassing.

The Duke, who was once high above, was too embarrassed to hold his expression on his face.

At this time, Ethan suddenly stood up, smiled, and applauded enthusiastically.

Suddenly,

everyone in the parliament stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

For a while, the applause was thunderous, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Until Ethan suddenly put away his hands and sat back in his original position, the applause stopped abruptly.

Sophia was really fascinated to see Ethan's control over the parliament.

However, she was too familiar with Ethan and knew how much Ethan weighed. She pouted and looked at Ethan, with three parts of disdain and seven parts of admiration in her expression.

Speaker Charlton felt extremely heavy when he saw this scene.

The control brought by absolute force was something he could never do before.

Looking at Ethan, there was three parts of envy and seven parts of resentment.

Lyon was slightly grateful for Ethan's support.

However, it was only a little.

He smiled at Ethan to express his gratitude.

Ethan was a little confused. He did not stand up and applaud at the first time, just because he was thinking about whether to attend the Duke's coronation.

In the end, he felt that the Duke was the face of Maro City after all. Even if he was very weak now, he still needed to be given the necessary respect.

Otherwise, it would only make other ruling dukes look down on the Maro City Council.

But he never expected that the hesitation would be seen as showing off control in the eyes of everyone, which was a bit too much.

Ethan didn't want to show off his control, because he would probably be slapped in the face later, after all, he couldn't satisfy the greed of his allies.

And that was the fact.

As Lyon stepped down, tax exemption proposals were brought to the stage for discussion one by one.

Suddenly, the parliament cheered.

Most of the members closed their eyes and said that the tax exemption bills were beneficial to the country and the people, and shouted that they must be passed.

With the excitement of the people, it seemed that anyone who dared to prevent the tax exemption bill from being passed would be the public enemy of Maro City, the stumbling block of the people, and the traitor of the country.

Everyone must kill him together.

At this moment, the people were raised to an unprecedented height, and everyone was concerned about the people and would sacrifice their lives for them.

Although Ethan knew that the people were used to represent, the representation of these people did not even require basic logic.

For example, the Dominic family believed that the tax on ship timber should be exempted, so that the people could build their own boats to go fishing and improve their lives.

But in fact, these people did not even have the right to go to sea, so what boats did they build?

The same was true for the others. Ethan was too tired to complain and could only sit in the audience with a blank expression and listen quietly.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, they all looked at Ethan, waiting for him to make a ruling.

Only then did Ethan let out a sigh of frustration and slowly walked onto the stage.

He did not talk about the proposals, but talked about the parliament.

"You all have worked so hard for the people of Maro City, which is really admirable.

This reminds me of the original intention of establishing the parliament.

At that time, in order to oppose the planned tax that poisoned the people, we bravely stood up on behalf of the people.

Now we have done it, but we are also facing many new problems.

For example, can the parliament collect the necessary taxes to ensure the operation of the parliament.

This is crucial and concerns everyone present.

And as you all know, the main tax revenue of the parliament comes from the new version of the planned tax.

However, the new version of the planned tax uses the old version of land data.

This is obviously unfair to the fair and just parliament.

I think you all know the reasons better than me.

During the old planned tax period, people lived in dire straits due to the appalling taxes.

Therefore, many people used false reports, concealment, etc. means to circumvent the planned tax.

Of course, this is a product of a special period.

It is understandable that people violate the law for survival.

But now, the planned tax has been reduced to 7%. If there are still people who cheat, it will destroy the parliament and the unity of the people.

Therefore, what we should discuss now is not how to benefit the people, but to ensure the normal operation of the parliament.

Let me ask you, if the parliament can't function, what's the use of the people?

Therefore, before ensuring that the planned tax can be fully collected, I will not agree to any tax exemption plan.

In addition, the parliament requires all people to re-report the cultivated area to the parliament.

At the same time, after the autumn harvest, report the harvest truthfully and pay taxes according to the law.

Speaker Charlton, what do you think? "

Speaker Charlton was asked by Ethan, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Asking everyone to re-declare land data is not a bill, and there is no need to discuss it at all.

This is the taxation right that the parliament has, and it only needs the speaker's signature to execute it.

The reason why Ethan asked Charlton's opinion was to let him execute it.

But Speaker Charlton had long lost control of Parliament, so he didn't care whether Parliament could function normally.

Now Ethan had thrown the blame on him, and Charlton was furious, but he had no choice but to take it, because he was the Speaker.

But how could Charlton let Ethan do what he wanted: "Mr. Ethan, the administrative staff of Parliament is seriously insufficient now, and I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."

Ethan immediately showed a shocked expression: "Speaker Charlton, are you saying that Parliament now has no basic notification capabilities?

So, our Parliament is just an empty shell, right?

Every bill we pass is waste paper, right?

Our Parliament has no executive power at all, right?"

Charlton couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

What Parliament is like, everyone knows it well?

Whether it is an empty shell or not, whether it has executive power or not, doesn't it depend on whether the bill is beneficial to everyone?

If it is beneficial, it is not an empty shell, it has executive power.

If it is not beneficial, it is an empty shell, it has executive power.

All administrative personnel in the parliament are from different families. It doesn't matter if they belong to different families. If there is no consensus, who will carry out the work?

This is the most real situation of the parliament now.

Even if it is a small administrative work, it must be approved by the majority.

Otherwise, it cannot be carried out at all.

Therefore, the operation of the parliament has always been half-dead.

And everyone is happy to see the parliament like this.

If the parliament really becomes strong and powerful, has independent administrative capabilities, independent armed forces, and performs various tasks under the orders of the speaker, then it is actually not much different from the duke.

As the speaker, he presides over various tasks of the parliament in name, but in fact he can't do anything.

He even has to pay money to maintain the basic operation of the parliament.

Charlton has long been fed up with this kind of speakership that is in name only and pays money.

Now seeing Ethan talking about the speaker, he just quits.

"Because the composition of the parliament is too complicated, I really don't have the ability to sort it out.

So I officially resign as the speaker.

Please elect a new speaker and let him preside over daily affairs!"

When this was said, everyone didn't find it strange at all, but instead turned their eyes to Ethan.

Ethan smiled and said: "Please don't look at me, I'm not going to run for the new speaker, everyone discuss it on your own!

No matter who you choose, as long as he can win the majority vote according to the rules, I will support him!"
