Chapter 177 Push Tai Chi
Chapter 177 Push Tai Chi
Moreover, the disaster relief support at the beast tide level is not just financial allocation from the kingdom, it also includes many tax subsidy policies.
It can be said that because beast tide disasters often affect a wide area, the kingdom's rescue efforts can be said to be comprehensive in order to allow the disaster-stricken areas to recover as soon as possible.
Soon after Feipusha finished speaking, a big shot with enough weight from Prince Jinm's faction stood up.
“Your Highness Princess Feipusha, although what you said is correct, some things still require on-site inspection and evaluation. According to the documents submitted by various places in the Western Territory, this beast tide did not cause much damage to the Western Territory.
As assistants to His Majesty the King in managing the kingdom, we must sometimes learn to be flexible."
However, as soon as Green finished speaking, Fipsa sneered.
"Old Green, don't take advantage of your age here. You've already said that what I said is correct.
Moreover, is it wrong for His Highness to say that we should deal with it according to the level of a beast tide disaster? Is there any document on the table that says that there is no beast tide?
And your Highness is just doing what a kingdom administrator should do, and is acting very clearly in accordance with the kingdom's rules and regulations.
If you have any questions, you can speak to His Majesty the King."
At this time, Green's face was ashen. He, the Grand Duke of the kingdom, was actually scolded by a little woman. If Phipsa had not relied on her status as a princess, if she was just a Minister of Finance, Green would have slapped her in the face long ago.
“Alright everyone.
Grand Duke Green, your current position is the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom, and Your Highness Phipsa, you are currently only the Minister of Finance.
I know both of your arguments just now. As Phipsa said, this is a real beast tide-level disaster, so Phipsa is right to respond according to the beast tide-level disaster.
Of course, what Minister Green said is correct. Sometimes we need to look at things dialectically. This beast tide-level disaster did not cause too much damage to the Western Territory.
I will have the recorder record your arguments and then present them to His Majesty the King for his decision."
Holmes did a good job of what a prime minister should do, which is not to hesitate on small matters and to practice Tai Chi on big matters.
"Okay, that's it for today's hearing."
"By the way, I have previously issued an order in the name of the Prime Minister of the Executive Council of the Kingdom of Moss, asking the Ministry of Finance to immediately allocate some disaster relief supplies to the Governor's Office in the Western Territory. At the same time, the provinces adjacent to the Western Territory should immediately prepare supplies to be transported to the Western Territory for disaster relief and reconstruction.
At least the civilians who lost their homes should be able to survive this cold winter."
Holmes's words made his attitude clear. If they wanted to engage in political struggle, they could go and fight in front of the king. But at the same time, they could not let ordinary people die in vain because of political struggle.
Because this concerns his reputation as prime minister.
Just as Holmes was about to adjourn the meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had always been a little-known figure, raised its hand and said:
“Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has important matters.
Just three days ago, we received a diplomatic letter from Earl Huidun, who delivered it on behalf of an elf lady named Emil.
In the letter, Miss Emile described some of her experiences in the Kingdom of Moss. She was sold as a normal slave by a group of illegal slave traders until she fell into the hands of a baron named William.
Now she has been rescued by Earl Huidun and is recuperating in Earl Huidun's mansion. She hopes that we can compensate her for the unfair treatment she has suffered on the premise of friendly cooperation between humans and elves.
At the same time, the person involved in this important incident, Baron William, is also on his way to the capital."
After the Foreign Ministry spokesperson took his seat, the conference room remained silent.
At this moment, everyone could feel the anger of Holmes, who was presiding over the meeting.
This is simply a slap in the face of him as the prime minister.
Holmes was very clear that the kingdom's nobles and officials must be involved behind this. It was OK for these guys to sell slaves illegally on a regular basis, but now they were exposed for the scandal of selling elves.
Holmes did not get angry immediately, but nodded and said:
“The matter has been handed over to the Criminal Department.
I will only give you five days from the Criminal Department. All departments and provinces will give you the power to do whatever you want during these five days. You must give me, His Majesty the King, and Miss Emil a satisfactory explanation within these five days."
"Meeting dismissed."
Holmes didn't look at the liver-like face of the Minister of Criminal Affairs. Now he needed to report the meeting minutes to Moss XIII.
At the same time, he also had to apologize to Moss XIII, because it was during his tenure as prime minister that such a serious diplomatic incident occurred.
If this matter were to get out, then at the Human Kingdom United Conference held every five years, other kingdoms would find this flaw and attack them continuously.
This puts you at a disadvantage politically.
After Holmes left, the head of the Criminal Department looked at everyone who had not left with a grim face.
At this moment, his voice was extremely cold:
"I believe you all heard clearly what the Prime Minister said just now. This time, my Criminal Department will not let any of those scums go."
After saying this, the Minister of the Criminal Department took his people away, and before leaving, he gave a cold look at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Foreign Minister Merlin is a amiable fat man with a wry smile on his fat face.
In fact, he didn't want to cause trouble, but who could blame him? The elf was rescued and even wrote a letter.
If his Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not throw away this hot potato first, then his career as minister will be over.
“Your Highness, Earl Huidun is indeed a young and promising man. He led the people of the territory through the beast tide and saved Miss Emile at the same time.
Your Highness Earl Huidun will have a promising future in the future."
Merlin walked up to Phipsa with a smile and praised Huidun.
After this disaster-causing beast tide, everyone in the royal capital knew that the previously despised Wisdom Shield was about to rise.
Although Huidun is inferior to other princes in terms of hard power, his soft power, especially his reputation and prestige, is because he has led his subjects through the alchemist crisis and the current beast tide crisis safely in the past six months, and he has become famous.
After all, with Feipusha's deliberate publicity, Huidun's response and handling of these two crises were artistically processed, making him a heroic figure.
What are often discussed most in upper-class circles are these heroic deeds and rumors.
As a result, Huidun's reputation has greatly increased.
Not to mention that Huidun now has the halo of saving the elf Emile.
Although Baron William is a minor character, he cannot resist artistic processing.
In addition, this is a processing based on facts, and its authenticity is more real than those fictional heroic deeds.
Huidun's reputation will be greatly improved this time.
