Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2530 Ten Permanent Organizations
"The first item is to adjust the Austrian Law Federation as a permanent institution under the Severton Council. Please vote!"

Although it was cumbersome, Badigal took the trouble to confirm his opinions with 51 members one by one. The integration of the Austrian Law Federation into the Sevington Parliament had been determined during the previous negotiations on the terms of the new covenant.

Undoubtedly, even Iolum, who was the former chairman of the Austrian Law Federation, voted for it.

And as a transition, even if the Austrian Federation is adjusted to be a subordinate permanent organization of the Severton Council, it will still be under the leadership of Iolum.

After this adjustment, the deacons of the former Arcane Federation will become civil servants of Netheril, and members above level 4 will receive the title of [Advisor of the Arcane Federation].

Ordinary members are still ordinary members, but their status has also improved compared to the past "casual cultivators".

……

"The second item, the establishment of the Ministry of Pioneers and Lords Affairs, please vote!"

The so-called Pioneers and Lords Affairs Department is actually an office under the former Severton Council, which is responsible for the identification of pioneers, the promotion of lords, and the coordination of related resources.

In the past, the new citizens recruited by Xia Duo in Severton went through this channel.

But this office actually doesn't even have the most basic permanent staff. They usually work part-time for the general affairs of the Seven Towers, but now it has been upgraded to a formal permanent organization. Both in terms of reputation and authority, it is much better than before.

As for the result of the vote, there is no doubt that it was unanimously passed.

……

"The third item, the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, please vote."

This is actually a permanent organization proposed by Xiaduo. Netheril joined the Northern Alliance a few years ago. It is foreseeable that exchanges and cooperation with other countries will become more frequent in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain such a permanent organization.

Perhaps in order to show his importance to Xiaduo's proposal, Badigal put this proposal in the third place of the second issue for voting.

Of course, there was no surprise in the result, and the vote passed unanimously.

……

"The fourth item, build a large library, please vote!"

This is also Xia Duo's proposal, and there is no need for additional manpower, just split from the Austrian Law Federation, but it is regarded as the prototype of the future Ministry of Education.

The main function of this institution is to establish public libraries in various places, especially the Great Library at Severton, to collect as many books as possible for the Netherese to read.

Of course, the specific management needs to be further studied and discussed. It will roughly continue the rules of the Austrian Law Federation library in the past, and determine the reading range according to the membership level.

Passed unanimously.

……

"Item [-], the establishment of a member's secretary's office, please vote."

This institution is mentioned in Badigal's outline of the agenda, and its daily work is to investigate and study the issues submitted to the meeting for reference by members.

At the same time, it is also necessary to investigate and study the current situation of Netheril, try to find problems proactively, and submit them to the parliament for discussion and decision-making.

In addition, this organization also accepts suggestions from the people. After all, not all spellcasters are lords. There are also knowledgeable people among ordinary people. Their wisdom and right to speak also need to be respected.

As an auxiliary organization of the parliamentarians, it can actually be understood as an intelligence department. The intelligence of the northern countries and even the entire main plane is also within the scope of their investigation and research.

Of course, this point need not be deliberately mentioned in public meetings.

There is no doubt that the vote is unanimous.

……

"Sixth item, the establishment of a legal research association, please vote."

This is not a non-governmental organization, but a formal institution under the parliament. It is mainly responsible for studying laws according to the specific national conditions of Netheril, enacting laws, and then submitting them to the parliament.

This is a crucial step in Netheril's move towards an age of written laws, and whether or not those laws serve the interests of all are better than nothing.

But it was also on this issue that for the first time there were differences of opinion among members of parliament. Those in favor barely reached two-thirds. Fortunately, the number of opponents did not exceed one-fifth, that is, more than ten people opposed it.

This proposal was barely passed. If it was not passed, because this is a plenary meeting, it will immediately enter the lord voting session, and those lords do not want to be bound by laws.

As long as more than one-fifth of the lords object, then this new institution will not be able to be established. In fact, the legalization process based on statutory law has been hit head-on.

And now, although the Legal Research Association can be established, there will still be arguing about specific laws in the future!The journey of thousands of miles has only taken the first few steps, but it is always good to make progress anyway.

……

"Item [-], establish a resource planning committee, please vote."

This institution is the result of a compromise between Shadow and the Seven Towers, and of course it is also the result of a compromise between the Seven Towers and Shadow, and sustainable development initiatives are discussed within this framework.

For this reason, the Seven Towers need to set an example and return the intercepted peaks of the Strait Mountains, and Xia Duo needs to give up the title of advocate of sustainable development.

There is nothing else other than that. Of course, this new organization has been given more comprehensive responsibilities by the Seven Towers, and it is specially used to plan and control the extraction and flow of resources in Netheril.

Overly strict laws and regulations will not be introduced for the time being, but in the future there may be a situation where even if the resources in the lord's own territory want to be exploited, permission must be obtained first.

This is undoubtedly a manifestation of the ambition of the Seven Towers, but it is not necessarily a doubt for Xia Duo. The situation that his own resources are not allowed to be exploited will not happen for a long time or even never.

However, if the exploitation and utilization of resources in various parts of Nether can be coordinated, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to all parties at present.

Therefore, although this proposal was suspected of centralization, it was approved by the majority of members and passed with a high number of votes. No one objected, and only a few people abstained.

……

"Item [-], establish a [Law Enforcement Guard] team, please vote."

Although it seems to be a permanent organization, it is actually not permanent, only the office is permanent, and the "law enforcement guard" itself is temporarily recruited for specific events.

If a permanent law enforcement guard team can be established, then this step is really too big, even Xia Duo will not agree to establish such a team at this time point.

But since we are moving towards the age of statute law, law enforcement personnel are indeed indispensable. It's just that although these lower-level agencies and organizations are still subordinate to the parliament, the actual command power is largely in the hands of the Seven Towers.

Moreover, law enforcement teams can easily be transformed into full-time combat teams. This opening is still not so easy, at least not now.

In the end, this proposal was passed without accident, but the real contest is still in the specific authority setting later. It may be difficult for Seven Towers to maintain a truly normal law enforcement guard team.
