My British Empire

Sir Fisher's hoarse and loud voice rang in the ears of many district chiefs. Everyone just moved their eyelids slightly, and the expressions on their faces were still as calm as ever, as if they didn't care about it.

Seeing this, Sir Fisher lifted his spirits, raised his dry lips slightly, and raised his head like a proud rooster. He picked up the parchment he copied at hand, and declared loudly: In order to let the local system To be more perfect, so that you can better serve the royal family and England, His Majesty the King suggests that the counties of East England should implement the following methods:

First, the heads of hundreds of districts and chiefs of thousands of households should be given their due remuneration, such as £10 per year for the head of a hundred districts and £15 for the head of a general district. Such a fair remuneration!

Hearing that for thousands of years, there is still a salary for serving the government, even the most indifferent person, at this moment all showed a happy smile.

After all, in this era, nothing can soothe people's hearts more than the British pound. As long as you have enough money, you can even buy the title of emperor.

Specific reference to Maxillian I, Holy Roman Emperor and grandfather of King Charles V of Spain.

Especially in this era of broken hearts, the charm of money is maximized.

Therefore, it is a great thing to hear that being an official not only has power, but also money.

The thirteen district chiefs, all of different ages, all had joyful smiles on their faces, showing some black or yellow teeth. The happy factor keeps scratching people's weak hearts.

In fact, for being able to get the money, Sir Fisher was actually very happy in his heart. Although serving the king can bring a lot of prestige to the family and himself, the benefits he gets are very few.

After all, he is working in his hometown, and his every move can be known by the villagers, not to mention that for the family's prestige, it is impossible for him to make large-scale profits.

Therefore, a net income of fifteen pounds, in this era of inflation, is also a large sum, which can make him loose a lot.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, Sir Fisher nodded, and after a while, when everyone's expressions softened, he restrained his smile, focused his eyes, and continued to speak slowly:

In addition, His Majesty also requires that the head of the Hundred-Household District and the Chief District Chief of the Thousand-Household District must have the dignity that suits their status and deserves!

Your Excellency, what is the dignity that suits the status and deserves!

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard asking loudly in a rough voice.

Sir Fisher heard the voice and looked down from the stage. It turned out to be the well-known Bold Horner of South Cambridge. Then he smiled and said: I can't tell the specifics, but it's a little bit. How many do you know!

First of all, our speech will no longer be blocked, and no one can use our speech to arrest us!

Again, it is no longer the local manor court and hundred-household district court that judge us, but the county court, the high court in London, and the star court!

One more thing, Your Majesty also requests that the nobles treat us politely and civilly, and insulting words and actions should not exist!

As he said that, Sir Fisher couldn't help but trembled his lips. Such a huge condition would definitely make the prestige of the hundred district chiefs and chief district chiefs skyrocket, even comparable to those hereditary nobles.

The shock in the hearts of the district chiefs below was even greater than that of Sir Fisher on the stage.

This is a complete move to elevate the status, and it can also be said that it is a move that overrides all civilians.

In the past, although they had public duties, they served His Majesty the King.

Yes, the difference from ordinary people is almost the same except that they have more power in their hands.

Except for some people's spontaneous respect, in the eyes of those noble lords, apart from disdain or disdain, it is better to expect ewes to grow horns if they expect to be respected!

Compared with the annual remuneration obtained from the county, it is nothing compared to this. Fame is much more important than money.

In English society at this time, fame is the guarantee for nobles and gentlemen, and it is also where they, squires and ordinary people, rely on to change their social status. A high and loud reputation can change a person or a family. destiny.

Therefore, the joy on the faces of everyone at this time is from the heart, it is real, and it is not artificial.

Sir Fisher suppressed his excitement. He knew that his identity was different from them, at least, from now on, it would be different.

Be quiet, gentlemen! If you need it, you can go out and discuss it!

Sir Fisher's faint and blaming voice slowly sounded, and the people who were excited and inexplicably realized that this is not a place for them to celebrate.

The more than a dozen district chiefs under the stage immediately adjusted their demeanor, pricked up their ears, and prepared to continue listening to Sir Fisher, who brought the good news, and more good news came out of his mouth.

So, the obedient people held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and waited quietly for the good news from Sir Fisher without moving.

Seeing this, Sir Fisher lowered his head slightly, looked at the written decree in his hand, his right hand trembled slightly, and then continued.

In order to improve efficiency and better serve His Majesty the King, officials in the county must be divided into equal positions, so that they can serve England stably and continuously!

Sir Fisher raised his head, looked at the crowd with a hint of surprise on their faces, and said carefully word by word:

The head of the hundred districts must bow to the head of the district, and the head of the district must bow to the officials of the counties. Moreover, this will be promulgated in the form of law. Anyone who violates the law will face punishment!

As soon as Sir Fisher's murderous voice came out, the entire room fell silent. It was obvious that everyone took a big breath of air.

After all, if the situation is true, then the status of the hundreds of district chiefs at the bottom will plummet in the officialdom.

And you must know that in the past, except for the size of the management area, the district chief and the county chief had equal status at other times.

Like the sheriff and lieutenant, they are directly under the king and appointed by the king (the chiefs of the hundred districts are generally elected by the villagers and approved by the king formally).

The status is equal and parallel, there is no distinction between high and low, and the salute between meeting each other is only polite, not mandatory.

Such a clearly stipulated division of superiority and inferiority caused the cheerful district chiefs to discuss one after another.
