High elves have an extremely long lifespan, and their concept of time is very different from the short-lived species who race against time.
This leads to the generally low efficiency of high elves, and even the relatively progressive Kael'thas is not completely immune to this.
If it were in the human kingdom, preparations for things decided today would begin tomorrow at most.
But it’s hard to say how much wrangling there will be in the preparation process.
According to Sarlayan's habit, he would start working on the plan proposed in the morning at most in the afternoon.
It's a pity that Sharlayan cannot demand Kael'thas and the Silver Moon Council according to his own standards.
According to Kaelsas, the government affairs that need to be discussed by the parliament in recent days have been fully booked, and it will not be the turn of the latest finalized topic until three days at the earliest.
But this is not absolute.
The Sun King and Silver Moon Council will adjust their priorities based on the severity of the situation, and it is normal for important matters to be interrupted midway.
Kael'thas was not very interested in sending troops to support Lordaeron and did not intend to force the priority of this matter.
Sarlayan had no problem with this. He also wanted to take advantage of Baron Rivendell, who had blamed the high elves, and it wouldn't be too late for him to fall into a desperate situation before he could get a divine weapon from the sky.
Among the top government affairs, one is to create a suitable official position for Sarlayan.
There is a saying that although people with both civil and military skills are rare in the history of Quel'Thalas, they are not completely absent.
But a special being like Sharlayan, who is half dragon, half elf, and possesses both civil and military skills, is unprecedented in any country in Azeroth, let alone Quel'Thalas.
The life form and strength of dragons are beyond that of mortals, and the Sunstrider royal family must also respect Sharlayan, who has half dragon blood.
If he was just an ordinary talented person, Kael'thas could definitely recruit him as a staff member. The official position should be called royal advisor.
From a certain point of view, Sarlayan and Kael'thas are not in a subordinate relationship. This can be seen from the attitude of the two in their daily interactions. They basically treat each other as equals.
In this case, it is impossible for Kael'thas to just throw away the position of royal advisor and send him away.
The four nobles, whose power has declined greatly, have chosen to cooperate deeply with the Sun Chaser royal family. The contemporary spokespersons of the four nobles, including Solanlian, have more or less guessed about Sarlayan's true identity.
The General Affairs Department, which is directly under the management of Solanli'an, has been a little bald recently, and their boss's request for customizing official positions is really weird.
This official position, which belongs directly to the royal family, should not be too low, nor should it be so high as to be sky-high. The person who confered the position should feel great respect, but it should not overwhelm the Sun King.
Party A's mother made a request, but the officials of the General Affairs Department could only hold their noses and comply.
In the end, they customized an official position called "Royal Strategy and Development Planner" for Sarlayan, which was barely recognized by Solanlian.
This smelly and long name made Sarlayan very speechless.
Kael'thas was also a little amused by this, and personally simplified the title. In informal situations, he was called Royal Planner.
The word "royal" means that the official position is directly responsible to the royal family, and the planner behind it is the area that the official position is responsible for.
Anyway, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. As long as Kael'thas himself does not object, the suggestions put forward by Sarlayan can represent the opinions of the Sunstrider royal family to a certain extent.
Simply put, this position is the ultimate evolution of royal advisor.
There is an old saying in the country where other world netizens live, which is called the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
There is no chancellor in Quel'Thalas, but this does not prevent Sharlayan from understanding the meaning of this sentence.
After all, not long ago he personally killed a prime minister of another country.
As the most senior royal advisor with the power of Imperial Envoy, apart from officials at the country's highest decision-making level such as Silvermoon Council, if Sarlayan finds clear evidence of corruption and other crimes, he can even suspend members of the Silvermoon Council without permission. any official below.
Note that the premise is to verify the evidence. Random biting will damage the face of the royal family.
And they can only be suspended for investigation, and they will be formally convicted by the criminal law department after the investigation is completed.
Quel'Thalas is now in an important period of change that has never been seen in ten thousand years. It can no longer be like before, where officials at all levels say hello, me, hello, everyone, and just get along.
Sarlayan is like a depth charge thrown into a school of fish, sounding the alarm to those officials who like to fish and make small moves, leaving a sharp sword hanging over their heads that may fall at any time.
There is a saying in Danmaku that the so-called politics is to make many friends and make few enemies.
Although he holds the power of life and death for a large number of officials, Sarlayan does not intend to abuse his power.
Kael'thas has been busy fighting with the remnants of the old nobles for more than a year.
There are many fence-sitters among officials at all levels in Quel'Thalas who are still waiting to see how the situation will turn and do not dare to take sides at will.
After accepting his new official position, the first task Kael'thas gave Sharlayan was to assist him in promoting reforms.
Sarlayan needs to cooperate with the thieves of the Backlight Blade to mark out those unrepentant diehards of the old era. If necessary, he can take action on his behalf to scare the monkeys.
After receiving the mission, Sharlayan did not rush into action, but continued to discuss the reform of Quel'Thalas with Kael'thas.
No matter what kind of reforms it wants to make, the royal family must have sufficient power in its hands.
Kael'thas is not worried about this. Anastria has laid a solid foundation for him, and today's royal family has greater power than any previous generation of Sun Kings.
In addition, Quel'Thalas' top decision-makers also need to have the wealth to deliver on their promises.
To put it simply, Kael'thas' primary goal now is to make money.
Before that, Sharlayan hoped to sort out the messy official positions in Quel'Thalas and eliminate those positions with overlapping responsibilities, so as to save unnecessary salary expenses for the national treasury.
Some barrages initially hoped that Sharlayan would refer to their ancient system of three provinces and six ministries.
However, taking into account the differences in cultural backgrounds between them, after a heated discussion, the barrage finally came up with a relatively reliable plan.
Refer to the cabinet structure adopted by a country called the Great Empire.
According to the barrage, the Great Empire is the same as Quel'Thalas, and the top leaders of the country are all served by the royal family.
However, the Great Empire implemented a virtual monarchy many years ago. The king was only the nominal supreme leader, and the real power was delegated to the cabinet formed by the prime minister.
Quel'Thalas is different from the Great Empire.
The Sun King is still the most powerful national leader.
Due to issues left over from history, part of the Sun King's authority was divided by the Silver Moon Council, which is similar to the dual monarchy mentioned by Danmaku.
Giving orders in many places is a taboo for any country.
Throughout the past history of Quel'Thalas, the conflict between the Sun King and the Council has run throughout.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. In most cases, the royal family and the parliament cannot unify their opinions. It is extremely difficult to obtain the approval of both parties to pass a decision, and the efficiency is extremely low.
Fortunately, this situation improved in the later years of Anastria's reign.
The power of the old aristocracy, headed by the four nobles, has been severely weakened. Now the speaker of the Silver Moon Parliament spends his days drinking tea and fooling around, and no longer dares to stand up to the king like before.
Anastria also knows that Darkan is only dormant temporarily, and will jump out again to cause trouble once he finds an opportunity.
But it is really hard to find a speaker who is as knowledgeable as Darkan. Even if he is forced to go down, the old king cannot guarantee whether the next speaker will be more obedient than the current Darkan.
Anastria struggled like this until he retired, and Darkan still clocked in and drank tea every day... well, go to work.
Although the Silver Moon Council still holds a lot of power, as the Speaker took the initiative to give in, the highest decision-making power returned to the hands of the Sun King, and there was no need for the same crazy internal strife as before.
Sharlayan spent one night, assisted by his secretaries Stellagosa and Onyxia, to draw up a long list of official positions for Kael'thas.
"The Chief Civil Service Secretary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Foreign Secretary, the Home Secretary, the Defense Secretary..."
This list of official positions compiled with reference to the cabinet made Kael'thas more and more energetic.
Compared with the existing official system in Quel'Thalas, the cabinet official system that had been refined over time and modified by barrage was more reasonable and the division of powers was clearer. Kael'thas was undoubtedly moved.
"good!"
After patiently reading the entire list of officials, Kael'thas couldn't wait to call Solanlian, who was in charge of internal affairs.
"Solanlian, please read this list of official positions first and tell me your opinions."
