Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: But Huo Yuhao has a simulator.

Chapter 181 Holding a meeting
Returning to reality, Huo Yuhao received a summary of the three-level meeting personnel from the Fifth Princess the next day.

[It seems that she has regarded me as one of her own and doesn't care about this anymore. 】

As mentioned before, the three levels of the Estates-General are the royal family, the nobility, and the remaining classes.The composition of this third class is very complex, including some church priests. Although there are not many such people, in view of the situation of the Holy Spirit Church, this point must be guarded against.

There are also some very wealthy businessmen. Some of these people will also become part of the three-level meeting, but their words are often the weakest. After all, in this world, there are still too many ways to threaten businessmen. .

There is also a class that is formed with a kind of "general compassion". They are representatives of agriculture, but the quotas of these representatives are often cut off by some nobles in various ways, or some farmers' representatives are directly bribed - This kind of thing is not uncommon.

In Huo Yuhao's duchy, in fact, besides himself, there would theoretically be many places, but these all disappeared with the emergence of the tsunami.In the entire Lingbing Dukedom, he is the only one who has come forward to hold a three-level meeting.

"I always feel that this time they will suffer a lot of criticism. After all, some people may think that the strength of the Lingbing Dukedom is inferior." Huo Yuhao analyzed that although their combat capabilities are indeed very good, Huo Yuhao's external attitude Among his performances, he is relatively easy to talk to and very trustworthy, which may make many people think that he is easy to bully.What's more, it is estimated that most people have defected to the third prince's faction, and she is already bound to the fifth prince's faction, which is difficult to deal with.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, my fists are the biggest. No one dares to say anything wrong with me." He finally decided to give up his brain and use his fists instead. After all, the fists of Huo Yuhao's faction are really big.And in order to add to the appearance, Huo Yuhao also used these quotas to bring Snow Emperor and others into the venue - this was in line with the rules anyway, and those quotas were used anyway.

Before the convening of the three-level meeting, people must enter the venue in batches.The venue is similar to Huo Yuhao's temporary "ladder classroom", which can be divided into three heights.

The royal family sat at the highest point of the venue early to show their dignity.The aristocratic class is the second entrance. They will sit in a higher place and also have the opportunity to have direct contact with the royal family.

The bottom level is a meeting group composed of those called "miscellaneous" classes. Most of them sit with the knights. They will sit a little below the knights in their own territory.

In the Douling Empire, knights from high to low are divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts and barons.There are often some marquis and others gathered next to the duke. This is also to a certain extent, it is very convenient for the three-level meeting to see that those people have become a faction.By the way, officials in the Dou Ling Empire often have titles.
The general situation of the entire venue is that there is a row of seats in the innermost part, which is where the royal family is, and on both sides are the nobles and the rest of the third class.

When Huo Yuhao and his group of dukes entered, he took a look at the royal family in front of him - the old emperor was sitting in the middle, with an aura of calmness and authority.There was a sense of perseverance in his face, and even though he was wearing a luxurious palace dress, the super-enhanced version of Xu Sanshi's serious temperament still flowed through him.

The eldest prince's face was pale and skinny. Huo Yuhao didn't need his spiritual eyes to sense it, he could feel the vague sense of life on his body, as if he was about to die in the next second.

The second prince, Dongfang Yi said his name is Xu Sheng, arrived in the capital today. He is an expatriate prince guarding the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire. His whole person has a cold and cold feeling of a soldier. Even wearing a formal dress, that kind of soldier The style is still very obvious.If he wanted to compete for the position of emperor, many people would definitely support him. Unfortunately, he once expressed implicitly that he was not interested in the throne.

The third prince was completely wrapped in clothes, giving Huo Yuhao a very gloomy feeling, as if there were many secrets hidden in his heart.Although Huo Yuhao was born with a dislike for people of this temperament, if the third prince was really capable, then Huo Yuhao wouldn't mind that kind of person taking charge.

The Fourth Princess's clothes were very gorgeous, and she kept looking around. When Huo Yuhao came in, her eyes seemed to be shining. She was worthy of being a "very free" and "unfettered" Fourth Princess. Huo Yuhao probably understood why Dongfang Yi didn't want to talk too much. When talking about this princess, I can only say that she is indeed very free.

When the fifth princess saw Huo Yuhao coming in, she also stared at him.What she was wearing today was that gorgeous palace dress, basically no skin was exposed.Overall, she gave Huo Yuhao the feeling of being very calm, but her slightly messy breathing rhythm still made Huo Yuhao feel the unrest in her heart.

Near the royal gate, there were more than a dozen people sitting down. The leader was covered in muscles all over his body. From what he could sense, this person's soul power level should be the highest here. If nothing else, he should be Tianyang Douluo.

When they were looking at Tianyang Douluo, Tianyang Douluo was also looking at the team in front of him, and was secretly shocked - the white-haired woman at the head, she couldn't see through all the strength in her body, she had to know that he himself had just broken through. A level 97 super Douluo couldn't see through this woman's strength. Then she was at least a level 98, or even a level 99 terrifying existence.

Moreover, the blue-haired woman next to Duke Lingbing should be Ling Luochen. It is said that if they fuse their martial souls, their combat power can be equal to that of Snow Douluo. Although there are some boasts, they are at least level 91. Well - it's really scary, a Titled Douluo here is stronger than the strongest Titled Douluo in the Dou Ling Empire.

The old emperor was also very interested in disturbing Huo Yuhao and his party - Duke Lingbing. I wonder if his appearance at this time was a sign of God's blessing on the Dou Ling Empire?But it's hard to say. After all, the appearance of such a strange thing is quite abnormal no matter how you think about it. Moreover, it's time to give the third prince a beating. He wants to abdicate, but he is still the emperor.

Huo Yuhao looked to the side again. Many Dukes were already seated. Each of them was sitting in a place in the venue, and there were many seats next to them.He looked around, and there were probably only some places around the Fifth Princess - they came in relatively late.

Without thinking, he sat down next to the fifth princess. The accompanying Snow Emperor, Ye Guyi, and Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, sat down with him.

They can be said to be very eye-catching. After all, they have strength and good looks, so they will naturally attract the attention of many people.Although no one showed support around Duke Lingbing, and very few people from the entire Dukedom of Lingbing came here, no one would despise them - even if they did, they couldn't show it now.

And just after they came in, many marquis, viscounts and other knights came. They chose their seats and basically sat next to the duke next to the third prince, as if to show their loyalty.Next to Duke Lingbing, after all the knights came in, there was only one marquis sitting next to him—very rare, a female marquis.

"First meeting, Your Majesty Duke, I was once a Marquis in the East China Sea region." She said with a wry smile. The tsunami on the East Coast basically wiped out all these knights. Only she ran out to obtain the soul ring, so she escaped temporarily. caused this disaster.And she saw that there were no seats around the third prince. At the same time, a down-and-out marquis like her was bound to be exploited.

Knowing this situation, she simply gritted her teeth and joined Huo Yuhao's faction. After all, I heard that Huo Yuhao's reputation was pretty good and his strength was strong enough. If he expressed his stance in the third-level meeting now, he would be the No. 1 loser. To a certain extent, it is "the power of the dragon". After all, with such a strong strength, it is very difficult to decline.

"The Marquis of the East Coast Region? I understand. I am the Duke of Lingbing, Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao looked at her, nodded, and briefly introduced himself.

"Marquis Lingshui, Luo Hao." She said, and then she said nothing.

And with the entry of these knights, the next ones are the people of the third class. They are destined not to be the protagonists of the meeting. They are more just used by the emperor to show that he is serious and loves the people. In the final analysis, it is nothing more. They are just tools. If they can really influence decision-making, it is only these nobles.

Moreover, there were indeed many nobles who were not present.At least according to Huo Yuhao's sight, there are still many empty seats on the second floor - of course, it is also possible that these nobles died or were absent for some reason.

As the last representative entered, the guards outside the door closed the entire door. The sound of the door closing also represented the beginning of the meeting.

Following a few clichés from His Majesty the Emperor (spoken by Luo Hao, Marquis of Lingshui), the relevant ministers began to report.

".Therefore, the threat from the Sky Soul Empire has been gradually expanding in recent years and our military expenditures also need to increase."

The Duke talked for at least more than two hours. Even Huo Yuhao could not hold back at all. At least half of these two hours of words were useless nonsense, and all the useful information was covered up in this long speech. middle.He is truly worthy of being an old politician. He has this ability one after another.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that Ma Xiaotao couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a deep sleep with her head propped up. The Snow Emperor was resting his mind with his eyes closed, while Ling Luochen condensed a little person on his hand and started dancing. Ye Guyi Although she didn't move much, Huo Yuhao could feel that she was already wandering around.

And when he spoke for more than an hour, he finally finished. Then, a bunch of dignitaries began to express their opinions. The entire meeting place was like a vegetable market.

"Is the Three-Level Conference always like this?" Huo Yuhao was a little confused again. This kind of administrative efficiency was not as good as his provisional government.

"Most of the situation is like this. Most of the dukes have marriages and other connections with the royal family, and the three-level meeting is like this when there are more people." Luo Hao, Marquis of Lingshui, said, she is considered a veteran of the three-level meeting, voting All with the former Duke.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Duke, you also have to vote on this issue. What do you think?" She asked. Although this kind of talk seemed to transcend class relations, it was really boring for Huo Yuhao, so he used his energy to talk to her. After chatting with each other, she also showed a little bit of her true nature.

"Abstaining from voting, this topic is obviously divided into several factions. Our duchy is so weak now and cannot be dragged into this quagmire." He said.

"To be honest, I really want to abstain from voting, but it seems that many of the main war factions are concentrated in the third prince's faction. There is no need to get involved." Huo Yuhao said, the current duchy only has high-end combat power, and everything else will collapse. During reconstruction, we cannot support any disputes.

"Okay." Marquis Lingshui agreed, and she didn't want to get involved. Basically all her real estate was gone, and now she only had the Marquis' quota.

But what happened next gradually made Huo Yuhao feel more and more uncomfortable.
Another economic minister began to make a report, emphasizing the financial difficulties and asking everyone to find ways to replenish the national treasury.In his three-hour report, he tried his best to conceal the fact that the national treasury was seriously short of money, but he also changed his tactics to ask everyone to replenish the finances.

After all, someone couldn't help it and interrupted his report, pointing out that every time it was a financial problem, could the royal family reform?
This time, the quarrel started again. Huo Yuhao held up his forehead - now he had to vote against it. The finances of the Duchy of Lingbing had deteriorated to such an extent that they could not spend any money to make up for the shortfall.

"What kind of insects are these people in this meeting? I don't think the empire is that poor. Why are they targeting us in the first place?" Marquis Lingshui complained. This is obviously targeting because the number is not large. But for some relatively poor places, it can indeed be described as a strain on their muscles and bones - especially places like the Duchy of Lingbing that have just gone through the battle, where they are too poor to spend any money.

As for the financial reform, Huo Yuhao finally understood it. It sounded like the development of trade and other industries. Many nobles had changed from collecting land rent and poll tax to making money through some industries, such as textiles - But the emperor had collected a lot of taxes, and now he wanted them to replenish the treasury, so there was a quarrel.
