Summoning Total War

Chapter 102 Murphy’s Gift (Part 1)

Breeze.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the night sky. There was a cloud floating in the distance, and the constellation of the Witch could be vaguely seen. The lights in the Governor's Palace were brightly lit, and the maids were busy preparing for the upcoming New Year celebrations. Nowadays, the scale of the Governor's Mansion is quite large. In addition to a large number of maids, there is also an established regiment of guards. After Murphy holds the coronation ceremony, the Governor's Mansion will be further expanded into the Royal Palace, and then the pattern will be truly formed.

Your Excellency, the Marquise Elizabeth is back. A maid walked into the study softly and said softly.

Murphy raised his head when he heard this, with a smile on his lips, and said: Invite her in.

He was really busy during this period. The Kingdom of Athens had just been established and many matters were still being drafted. Although the prototype of the Cabinet Council had been established, there were still many troubles in personnel appointments. Coupled with the chaotic period after the war, the re-enactment of the Athenian Code, many laws that must be repealed, and the newly promulgated Endian Orders, etc., he has been almost extremely busy these past few months!

Yes. The maid bowed and retreated.

Murphy rubbed his forehead and put down a thick Code of Athens in front of him. The formulation of laws is one of the foundations of a kingdom.

He does not intend to bring out anything too advanced, but some evil laws must still be repealed. After all, he is not like the grand dukes of the noble council. Coming from modern society, he still has some more open ideas. The code in hand was drafted by the Cabinet Council and the scholars of Athens. It was basically based on the laws of this world, but also added some legal constraints of Greek civilization. At the same time, Murphy also modified some of them based on his own judgment and abolished some laws that were too ignorant and backward.

Commoners, citizens, nobles.

This is the foundation of the kingdom. Corresponding identities have corresponding powers. The privileged class should exist. Without privileges, there is no way to inspire the people to strive for the goal. ** is fundamentally against human nature and is impossible to achieve, so Murphy's purpose is to formulate a strict order, a kingdom governed by various classes.

Absolute control is not reasonable, at least not at all under the limitations of today's civilization.

However, in order to prevent the upper-class nobles from being corrupted by power and causing the entire kingdom to enter decline, Murphy must think of a way to internally alter power, which is to give the people below an opportunity to enter the upper echelons of power. It is a promotion channel. Even if this channel is still restricted by power, at least it should exist, just like the imperial examination system in China. He must break the primitive hereditary system in this world, because the ultimate result of this hereditary system is to turn the nobility into a cancerous tumor that cannot be removed.

Although Murphy is about to be crowned king, he doesn't want to be an emperor who is half-dead from exhaustion busy with government affairs all day long.

In this way, improving the cabinet system is inevitable!

After preliminary drafting, Murphy finally decided to formulate laws according to the system of the Roman Empire, where the highest power of the kingdom was held by the emperor. The emperor is the symbol of the entire empire, as well as the highest political leader, the highest commander of the army, the highest judicial referee and the highest religious master. To put it simply, what Murphy wants to implement is a dictatorship, taking all the power into one person. He has supreme power in the country, and this power is above anyone else!

but!

Controlling all power does not mean exercising all power.

If you want to govern a country, it is necessary to decentralize the power in your hands. In this way, there is a need for a cabinet council. Simply put, the creation of the cabinet council is that when the emperor is lazy and ignores political affairs, they can still Maintain the operation of the entire country and govern the entire country in an orderly manner. Decentralization of power is necessary, but devolved powers must be mutually constrained to prevent corruption within politics.

Everything is drafted.

Among the systems that could be learned from the previous life on Earth, Murphy has not yet found a truly suitable path. He divided the southern plain into six provinces, established an administrative governor, and established a supervisory council. He prepared to stabilize everything first and then consider a truly suitable system for the future. The population of the southern plains is still too small, and the current level of civilization is not enough to support a stricter ruling order.

The elemental tide continues, and the distribution of power in this world has not yet truly taken shape.

If possible, Murphy would rather establish a glorious era like the Arcane Empire in the previous era! An interdimensional rule, a mage empire that lasted for an era!

A faint fragrance awakened Murphy, who was deep in thought. He slowly raised his head and stared at the beautiful Lady Elizabeth in front of him.

came back?

Murphy gently opened his hands and motioned for her to sit on his lap. During this period of time, he was really busy in formulating the code. Even with his physique with divine blood, he felt waves of fatigue. Not only physically, but also mentally, because during this period of time, he almost recalled and sorted out the evolution history of Eastern and Western civilizations for thousands of years on earth in his previous life.

Yes. Mrs. Elizabeth nodded obediently, sat in his arms, raised her hand to caress his cheek, and touched some sad stubble with her fingertips.

Haha, I've grown a beard. It's grown very fast recently. Murphy smiled and pricked Mrs. Elizabeth's white cheek with the beard, causing her to squirm uneasily in his arms.

Unknowingly, it has been 5 years since I came to this world.

Today's body has transformed from a 16-year-old boy into a 21-year-old adult. In the past year, there has been a war with the Noble Council, and then many affairs after pacifying the southern plains. Even when he often stays up late, Murphy has inevitably grown his beard in waves. Now it feels prickly to the touch. .

Sometimes time just passes by without you noticing, and when you come back to your senses, you realize that your beard has grown so thick.

Huh, let's go take a shower together.

With a big stretch, Murphy picked up Mrs. Elizabeth in his arms. Amidst her cooing, he laughed and said, After you take a bath, I'll give you a gift.
