The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The structure of the parliament here is different from that of parliament chambers in most countries, with seats arranged on either side rather than in a fan shape. It stands to reason that everyone has the opportunity to speak, but in order to save time, the MPs jointly recommend a representative to speak, and everyone takes turns to speak and debate.

"The ongoing policies have harmed the interests of many people. In some places, civilians do not have enough money and can only serve in the military. However, some government officials choose to apply one-size-fits-all payment, no matter who they are, and even change the tax share to arbitrarily squeeze the people. This policy needs to change."

The words of Green Party representative Gabriel Priestley won the approval of Green Party members. There were many problems in promoting the policy of integrating money and labor before it was fully implemented. They were not rebelling against the emperor, but they hoped to carry out the policy. Policy changes. However, the blue faction members disagreed. Blue faction representative Warwick Hristov retorted, "There is nothing wrong with the current policy. This is also done to reduce the burden on the people. Don't you want to just take money and do nothing?"

"Nonsense, we contribute everything to the empire anytime and anywhere, but villagers protested in places such as Fan City and Yerevan. In some places, villagers even beat the tax collectors sent over. This situation must be changed. "

"But it is now well implemented around cities such as Constantinople, and these places must maintain it."

"We haven't said that all will be rectified. We hope that the Senate can make changes to the situation in the border areas."

This was approved by many people, and the Speaker ordered a vote, which was finally passed by a large margin. This will be submitted to the Senate for discussion.

Then there is the matter of overseas provinces. Capello of the White faction is a member of the Ceylon Province. He owns 5 sugar mills and a large sugar cane plantation there. Because of Peter's overseas decree, Ceylon has 6 charters. MPs entered the House of Commons and they began to advocate for the rights of the Romans in Ceylon, including tax incentives and policy support.

Capello proposed that the imperial government intensify its efforts to encircle and suppress the Ceylon natives. They would not be found if they hid in the interior. But usually they burn down plantations and destroy workshops, causing great damage to the local economy. This proposal was also sent to the Senate for review.

In addition, the Damascus MP who came a few months earlier than Osborne proposed increasing troops on the border to guard against Arab attacks, and the MP in Zaporozhye hoped that the agricultural officer would increase local agricultural construction. On this day, a total of 28 proposals were passed. , will be submitted to the Senate.

Everything here opened Osborne's eyes, and he became more determined to fight for the rights and interests of his hometown here. Florence would be better off only if it were under one country.

But what shocked him the most was the size of Rome. According to the congressman, the Roman Empire has currently mobilized 100,000 people on the front line. This is 100,000 soldiers. Their material transportation has become an astronomical figure, or local plunder, Or just transport it from the rear. According to them, Rome's fiscal revenue this year will reach 4 million lei. This was twenty times the previous income of Florence, and according to the councillors, Rome's income would continue to grow.

Of course, he also saw many foreigners on the streets of Constantinople. They were different from Arabs and Turks. They all had different appearances. After understanding, these people were the Seris from the East. That is, the mysterious oriental people they think about day and night.

He naturally knew about that grand meeting. The meeting between Rome and the special envoys from the Eastern countries revitalized this country that occupies a key point. These maritime republics have entered history.

----Dividing line----

In the Senate, Listerine and Batista discussed next year's budget. The war in Central Europe was over, and the next step was the war in Iberia and Eastern Europe. There will be 40,000 soldiers in Iberia and 80,000 soldiers in Eastern Europe. The navy has recently been transporting supplies and suppressing pirates, and the governance of the new eastern territories also requires investment. Nearly 500,000 lei per year is not a small sum. There are also expenses for overseas colonization, investment in the western region, etc., as well as emergency aid fund reserves for Brandenburg, Moscow and England. His Majesty also loves his brothers too much.

"As long as the war can be ended within two years, the finances can still be maintained."

Batista gave his own opinion. The end of the war is not a big issue, but the main issue is how much benefit can be obtained from the war. In addition to land fees, there are also tributes from subject countries, state compensation, colonial income, etc. He doesn't expect to get his money back, but he still has to make up for some of his expenses.

"This shouldn't be a big problem. His Majesty wants to rebuild a new city in Jerusalem and have 10 churches. If the church hadn't been willing to contribute money and believers' donations, the government would have been out of breath."

For the reconstruction of Jerusalem, the church provided 1 million lei. The expansion of the church in recent years has made their wealth continue to grow. Believers also actively donated money, raising 1.2 million lei in three months, which was enough for their reconstruction.

"This is not the only expenditure in the East. Your Majesty doesn't know why. He wants to build the strongest fortresses in Gibraltar and Sevia? Is it possible to increase contact with England?"

"That should be the case, but I heard from people in the palace that His Majesty and the Prince once discussed a Viking, saying that he once went on an adventure to the sea and discovered a land called Vinland."

"When did this happen? Do you take it seriously, Your Majesty? Moreover, the Vikings are in Denmark. Is the Empire interested in them?"

The Prime Minister shook his head. No one could guess His Majesty's thoughts. But is Your Majesty really going to look for Vinland? Would this be too much of a waste of energy?

This has to start with a previous tribute. That day also happened to be Theodore's birthday. Peter asked the child to choose the tribute as his birthday gift. As a result, Theodore picked out a pile of scrolls, which were in praise of a Viking named Eriksson, saying that he had discovered a place with rich water and grass and named it Vinland, as well as a map as proof.

Such legendary stories aroused Theodore's interest. He began to read more and discovered a lot of poems about the Vikings entering Vinland. He was excited to go exploring, but was rejected because of his young age. . But a heart that wants to explore never stops.

But no matter what, ministers like him must still abide by His Majesty's orders. The supplies transported from Constantinople will soon arrive in Iberia, and His Majesty and the army will return by sea. This is also an unprecedented transfer of troops. Large ships throughout the Mediterranean are busy, for fear of delaying time.
