In this way, half a month later, the second topic of the first plenary meeting of the Severnton Parliament under the new order, that is, the establishment of permanent agencies under the parliament, finally came to a clear result.
There are also some issues that follow are some specific matters, such as the establishment of diplomatic relations between Imaskar, Calimshan and Netheril, the placement of returning personnel from the Three Sweetwater Planes, and the protection of the Three Sweetwater Planes themselves, etc. .
Since this meeting has lasted for more than half a month, all the council members have become a little tired mentally, not to mention the lords. They have to report to the meeting venue on time the next day, but so far they have not waited to show their performance. Chance.
On the other hand, the representatives from all walks of life who were listening on the periphery could be replaced by different people one after another. Although the meeting lasted for a long time, due to the increasing interest in the discussion of this meeting in Severington, they went to Offa Square to attend the meeting. More and more people are observing the meeting.
But after all, the protagonists of this meeting are still the members. Regarding the third topic, which is about the establishment of diplomatic relations between Imaskar, Calimshan and Netheril, there are obvious signs of disagreement among the members.
In addition, in the past half month, these issues have actually been discussed for a long time, and there is still a process to go through. Therefore, few people make any trouble at the meeting.
After Badigal introduced the background of the issue, there was almost no debate and went directly to the voting. In this case, the agenda moved forward extremely quickly.
Even issues related to limiting the lord's killing (punishment) power and clarifying the freedmen's relocation laws were quickly passed under this situation.
Instead of adjourning every other day as before, the meeting continued without adjournment.
In this way, only on the third day after the House of Representatives unanimously approved the decision to establish diplomatic relations between Netheril, Imaskar and Calimshan, it was time for the issue raised by Shado to add a remote meeting format.
In previous meetings that lasted for more than half a month, many members' attitudes towards the matter had quietly changed. At the final vote, the bill was passed almost unanimously.
However, the specific remote conferencing solution of which party should be adopted has not yet been decided at this conference, but everyone agreed that such a thing is needed.
This is enough for Xia Duo. He was the first to propose this matter, which gives people a preconceived impression. When his communication mystery lock comes out, it will more or less increase the chance of being selected.
Not to mention, he developed a complete set of solutions based on his remote conferencing experience in his hometown, not just a communication spell to connect many participants.
He is absolutely certain to win this competition for public projects in the parliament!
…
After talking about the topic of remote meetings, the conference has come to an end. Badigal looked at the tired participating lords and the excited observers, and finally said the last topic——
"The main plane has given birth to countless civilizations, but in the end we are the only ones who have achieved success. Through the relics that were later excavated and buried deep underground, it is difficult for us to explore the precise reasons why those bygone civilizations disappeared in the long river of history. , but their existence does sound a warning to us, that is, civilization is not naturally sustainable.
“In the process of development, we need to pay attention to many issues. Among them, I think the most necessary one is moderation. In order to achieve long-term development, I think it is necessary to propose sustainable development initiatives.
“This initiative covers many aspects, including talent cultivation, external relations, and the natural environment. In fact, the New Covenant is an institutional sustainable development attempt!
“So far, the results of this attempt are pretty good, and it will still have a positive effect in the foreseeable future.
"So in other aspects, should we also make corresponding attempts?"
Sustainable development does include many aspects in a broad sense, but in a narrow sense, it is specifically about how humans and nature get along.
The attempt at sustainable development in the broad sense, as Badigal said, has long been included in the negotiation of the new covenant and the establishment of the new system. Now the main discussion is still about how to view and deal with the relationship between man and nature in the narrow sense.
Although it was Badigal who spoke eloquently on the speaker's seat, in fact, the opinions he said came from Chateau, and regarding sustainable development, Chateau has already exchanged opinions with various members of the parliament in the past half month.
The establishment of the [Resource Planning Committee], one of the previous permanent agencies under the parliament, is enough to explain the attitude of each member of Parliament.
But after all, it is related to the real interests of each councilor and lord. Each councilor is still relatively conservative on this issue, and the actual authority granted to the Resource Planning Committee is very small.
It is generally regarded as a consultation mechanism for coordinating domestic resources in Netheril, rather than a competent authority with real power.
Now, Badigal mentions sustainable development again, and of course everyone knows what this means. The initiative to protect non-renewable resources has less of a coercive meaning and is more inclined to form a top-down orientation.
Of course, as an example, the Seven Towers will return the section of the mountain peak that was previously cut off from the Channel Mountains for the construction of New Severton. In the future, at least there will be a reference template for this matter.
As for Badigal's initiative, all members of the council unanimously approved it, and it was not mandatory. It was a favor without any cost. Of course, the members did not mind showing their overall views in front of the public.
…
At the end of the meeting, Badigal proposed the time and main topics of the next meeting. The next meeting will no longer be a plenary meeting, but a meeting with only members participating.
The main topic is the review of the operation of new agencies under the parliament, which also involves a series of personnel appointments. If members intend to send people to relevant agencies, they need to explain it in advance.
The Seven Towers are mainly responsible for organizing and leading these new institutions. The normal operation of these institutions cannot be affected by the filling of people by members of parliament.
The main topics of the next few meetings will mostly be related to the new organization.
For Xia Duo, these new institutions involve different fields. He only plans to put a few people into the Legal Research Society, the Big Library and the Congressman's Secretariat, and forget about the others for the time being.
After the establishment of the Legal Research Society and the Great Library, they will have a greater impact on various parts of Netheril. These two new institutions will not miss Shado's influence, and they are also two institutions that he has the ability to influence.
As for the Congressman's Secretary's Office, each Congressman must send at least one liaison person there. The rest who are willing to participate in depth can of course send more people. If they are not willing, they can leave it to the Seven Towers.
This is actually an intelligence department. Of course, Xia Duo is willing to participate deeply, but he really doesn't have many talents in this field. After counting, there is only one Aiwa who barely meets his requirements.
But Ava is still traveling and doing research across Netheril. After he completes his traveling and research, he may be able to work in the Councilor's Secretary's Office. For now, sending a liaison officer is enough.
