In front of more than a dozen nobles, he performed a show of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Even if someone really had objections, they did not dare to speak out on this occasion.
Viscount Sangunar and Lalas, who represented the Windrunner family, stood in support of the plan without hesitation.
Before leaving, Villais temporarily handed over the voting rights of the Deep Shadow Family (direct descendants) to Sharlayan and asked him to vote on his behalf.
There are a total of 6 noble families who are close to the Shenying family. These people started to prepare for this day after the last meeting. They all raised their hands to express their support without hesitation.
People have a herd mentality. Seeing people around them raising their hands in agreement one after another, in order to avoid being squeezed out by being independent, other nobles present also rushed to raise their hands to express their approval. Only a few families wanted to withdraw.
Sarlayan kept his promise, did not embarrass the two families, and politely sent them away.
Including several nobles who were eliminated from the ranks, there are a total of 18 families joining the plan.
In the current environment where the old nobles are gradually declining, it is difficult to say in terms of power, but at least in terms of economy, these 18 families are likely to become the richest nobles in Quel'Thalas in the future.
"Very good, thank you elders for your support."
A sincere smile finally appeared on Saryan's face: "Believe me, in five years at the latest, you will definitely be proud of the choice you made today."
"Royal planner Sarlayan Deep Shadow, on behalf of His Majesty the Sun King Kael'thas Sunstrider, hereby announces that the harbor development plan will be officially launched from now on!"
…
Developing a port from scratch is not an easy task. First, the underwater sludge in the offshore area must be cleaned up to ensure that ships transporting various building materials can safely enter and exit the dock.
Sarlayan is good at planning the overall situation, and details are not his strong point.
After the reform of the official system, Quel'Thalas' various duties have been distributed more clearly.
The construction of the port will be carried out by the Engineering and Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Interior.
The construction of ships will be divided into two parts. The Ministry of Navy is responsible for military warships, and the Ministry of Transport will issue construction licenses for various types of civilian ships.
After a long period of experience in government affairs, Kael'thas also developed the habit of acting vigorously and resolutely.
He had previously said hello to Darkan out of courtesy, and would replace his two puppet MPs who only knew how to drink tea and read newspapers, and transfer the positions of Minister of Education and Minister of Health to others.
The situation is stronger than the people, and Darkan, who is good at adapting to the situation, agreed with Kael'thas's "suggestion" with a smile.
As for what he thinks... at least in the current political environment, it doesn't matter.
The Minister of Education oversees all matters related to education. Kael'thas has long been determined to reform the education system in Quel'Thalas. This position is not easy to obtain and is destined to be a hard job.
After internal recommendations from Silver Moon councilors, Kael'thas finally selected a great magister named Belovar Salona.
The Sarona family has a long history and is one of the ancient nobles who founded the country with Dath'Rema. Members of this family were also frequent visitors to the Silver Moon Council.
Compared with the old nobles who like to fight for power and gain, the Sarona family has focused their energy on the in-depth study of arcana for several generations.
Starting from the first Marquis of Salona, every generation of Salona family patriarch can obtain the title of Grand Magister.
Even in Quel'Thalas, the recognized magical kingdom of Azeroth, this title is extremely rare, and only one person in the same era usually obtains it.
It is for this reason that the status of the Sarona family has always been very high.
Even if they know that they will not join the ranks of their own rivals in squeezing the king's power, each generation of Silver Moon Parliament will still leave a seat for the contemporary Grand Magister to show respect.
Anastria broke many traditions in its later years.
Because the Silver Moon Council has been in turmoil for a long time, the contemporary Grand Magister Belovar Sarona has never been recruited to serve on the Council.
Beloir didn't care about this, because the descendants of the Salona family had no interest in power due to the family's ancient inheritance and teachings.
Anastria did not reuse Belovar just to strengthen its stance of hostility against the old aristocracy, not because it had any objection to the Sarona family.
In order to appease Beloir, the old king appointed him as the dean of Fasselin Magic Academy for the first time.
As the only higher magic academy in Quel'Thalas, the dean of Fasselin has always been a member of the Sunstrider family, with the purpose of attracting arcanists who graduated from this academy.
In barrage terms, this approach can bring the relationship between the Sun Chaser royal family and college graduates closer, and all graduates will automatically obtain the status of "Emperor's Disciples."
With such a respected Grand Magister serving as the Minister of Education, no one in Quel'Thalas raised any objections. Belovar himself was also very interested in the educational reforms proposed by Kael'thas.
By the way, after Belovar was transferred to the position of Minister of Education, Kael'thas naturally transferred the position of Dean Fasselin back to the Sunstrider royal family.
The person who succeeded Kael'thas as Headmaster was Lyanda Sunstrider, a distant cousin of Kael'thas.
In addition to the Minister of Education, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Transport have also successively filled in the positions.
The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Transportation are also recommended by the Silver Moon Council, and experienced officials are selected for promotion.
But in the choice of medical minister, Kael'thas did not take the usual path.
He adopted von Delor's suggestion and promoted a highly respected old priest from among the priests of Quel'Thalas.
This female priest named Alina Fontaine was von Delor's enlightenment mentor. She is more than 2,800 years old this year.
Strictly speaking, the priest profession came to Quel'Thalas because of this old priest.
Due to limited talent, Elena Fontaine's control over the Holy Light is not strong, and she is far inferior to her apprentice Von Delor, who manipulated the prodigy that day.
However, this old priest has a very thorough understanding of medical treatment and can definitely bear the evaluation of the doctor's kindness.
After von der Rohr grew up, Ms. Alina did not hesitate to hand over management rights and take a back seat.
But she has never stopped diagnosing and treating fellow high elves, and her experience in clinical medicine is far beyond that of Von Delor.
Lady Alina's appointment has polarized opinions across Quel'Thalas.
The nobles believe that Alina, who was born as a commoner, is not qualified to enter the Silver Moon Parliament. After all, there has never been a precedent before.
The current members of the Silver Moon Council, including Lelessa and Vondelor, who are known as mud-legged people, still have titles on their bodies and are members of the aristocracy.
Elina's appointment made the nobles very angry, and a large number of nobles jumped out to firmly oppose Kael'thas' decision.
On the contrary, a large number of civilians praised Kael'thas for his unprecedented recruitment of civilians.
Ms. Alina has been providing indiscriminate treatment to all people who come to seek medical treatment for thousands of years. She has a high reputation among the people. In the eyes of the common people, she is definitely qualified to enter the Silver Moon Parliament as the Minister of Medical Care.
This is a classic butt problem.
Commoners believe that Ms. Alina's election to the Silver Moon Council represents a change in the policy direction of Quel'Thalas, which indicates that commoners will also have the opportunity to enter the center.
The nobles were clearly not going to sit back and let this happen.
The quota of the Silver Moon Council has always been regarded by the nobles as their own taboo, and humble commoners will never be allowed to get involved.
This incident happened to happen during the period when Sarlayan was on his mission to Kul Tiras. The incident was so big that at one point it was necessary to dispatch security forces to separate the two sides who were spitting at each other.
The nobles thought that Kael'thas would go even further and hand over the ministers of justice and transportation to civilians.
But Kael'thas suddenly gave in at this time, accepted the internal recommendations of the Silver Moon councilors, and handed over these two positions to veteran noble officials.
Many nobles did not understand what Kael'thas meant. They thought that the matter was over. It was only because of Ms. Alina's strong reputation that she was brought to the Silver Moon Council.
But Sarlayan knew that Kael'thas was boiling frogs in warm water, testing the bottom line of the nobles little by little.
In fact, we can see some clues from the appointment of the Minister of Education. People in the Salona family have never looked down upon their colleagues who like to fight for power and gain.
Afterwards, Kael'thas will definitely instruct Belovar to start reforms in the field of education, giving civilians a channel for advancement, and forcing the nobles whose status is threatened to desperately improve themselves.
What? Military advice?
The old nobles had their spines broken by Anastria, and their nobles had been purged and beaten by Sarlayan. Who still has the ability and courage to jump out and commit suicide at this time?
After sending away all the distinguished representatives, Sarlayan opened the window of the conference hall and let the noise outside the window return to his ears.
"Quel'Thalas, which has continued the ancient system for thousands of years, is finally going to change."
