Chapter 434 Lemir (5)
Danica's arrival made the entire Executive Minister's residence shine brightly—the word is absolutely not exaggerated. With the supreme status of the Gemini Queen in this country, Danica, who has always been indifferent and quiet, can walk out of the palace and visit the sick Lemir in person. This is definitely a great face.
Because Danica decided to come temporarily and did not give the Executive Minister's Mansion sufficient time to prepare. However, when Danica came, everyone led by Lemir's wife and children knelt down at the door to greet him. After a few words, and after dealing with this scene, Danica, led by Oliga, went to Lemir, who was already ill in bed.
Seeing Danica coming, Lemil struggled to sit up and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come here in person. I'm really sorry." Lemil's illness seemed quite serious. He was lying on the bed now, his face pale, and even revealed a trace of death.
Danica smiled and said, "What are you saying? You are the Minister of the Executive Department of the Gemini Kingdom. You have worked hard for the development of the kingdom for the rest of your life, and you have become sick after overwork. I'll come and see what I'm going to do?" I don't know why, Danica's words seemed to have a little sarcastic mockery, and Lemil also seemed a little embarrassed.
Danica was obviously not good at greetings, and Lemil was not sure what attitude he should use to deal with the visiting Gemini Queen. After a few simple conversations, the two fell into an awkward silence.
Oliga, who was standing next to her, also felt the atmosphere a little strange, but her status was too low and she didn't know what to say.
In the end, Danica spoke to relieve her embarrassment, took out a paper bag, handed it to Oliga, and said, "This is a potion, which is very helpful to Lemil."
Oliga took it and looked at the paper bag in her hand, with a little confused look in her eyes. She was studying magic in the Elf King's Court, so she naturally knew that this medical method was spread among the Elf tribe. However, it seems that the torment herbs are used more frequently. For the nobles, magic or making more precise potions are the main means of healing. Few nobles use this herb that is directly decocted like civilians.
Seeing the doubt in Oliga's eyes, Danica explained: "The effect of this herb is more moderate and more suitable for Lemil's current weak body."
At this time, Lemir also noticed something was wrong and said to Oliga: "Go and torture this herb!" Lemir's tone was a bit harsh, even a little anxious. Danica was not a kind person. In the Gemini Kingdom, it would cost to violate her orders. Oliga had just returned and was not yet adapted to the arduous political environment here.
Feeling the anxiety in his father's tone, Oliga nodded in a hurry and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go now."
After Oliga left, Lemir said apologetically: "Oliga, a child, just came back and didn't understand the rules, but she is definitely a capable person."
Danica smiled comfortably and said, "I believe this. I asked Phyllis. Oliga performed well during her studies in the college. Now the only thing to see if she can adapt to her new identity."
Although the new identity was not stated clearly, Lemir brought Oliga into the political arena of the Gemini Kingdom at this time, and he definitely had high hopes for it.
Hearing Danica say this, Lemir's eyes flashed with a glimmer. This sentence shows that Danica has recognized Oliga's identity. That's good, that's good. With Danica's recognition, Oliga can gain a foothold in the political arena of the Gemini Kingdom.
"She will adapt," Lemil said solemnly, "I believe Oliga, she is a smart child."
Danica nodded and said, "Hope!"
The two of them fell silent again. After a while, Lemil said, "I'm sorry, I let you down." His tone was a little bitter, but more of it was helpless. I don't know if I felt helpless about my inability to restrain my subordinates, or because of the failure of this action.
Seeing that Lemil finally talked about that, Danica smiled and said, "Your original intention is also for the people to live a better life. This is the responsibility of the Executive Ministry."
In Danica's plan, the administration represents the interests of civilians, and the Aishi Chamber of Commerce represents the interests of factory owners. The two are in a coordinated balance in the struggle, so many workers' movements have the support of the administration, which Danica knew early in the morning, and even promoted by her.
Lemil said gratefully: "Your Majesty is the first king in the world who truly cares about the common people. Born in the Gemini Kingdom, it is the luck of all civilians."
Of course, this does not mean how kind Danica is. In fact, this iron-blooded queen has nothing to do with kindness. The reason for this is because of the unique political structure of the Gemini Kingdom. In other kingdoms, the royal family is actually a large noble, and the interests of the royal family are consistent and unified. But in the Gemini Kingdom, the queen of Danica has a much higher status than all other nobles and has all the powers of the entire kingdom. Therefore, Danica's interests are consistent with the interests of the entire kingdom. As the creator of social values, she will inevitably guarantee the interests of the common people.
Danica just smiled and said nothing about Lemil's flattery.
Lemil continued: "It's a pity that they left too fast..."
"It's not too urgent." Danica interrupted Lemil and said, "They were simply wrong. No matter what the reason or what the original intention was, they wanted to provoke the king's power. This is the biggest mistake, a mistake that cannot be forgiven."
Lemir was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. He should have known this result... but he was still unwilling to accept that everything he created had been ruined.
"Lemir, you should take good care of your health." Danica said. After saying this, she stood up and planned to leave. At this time, she came to visit Lemir and saw Danica thought she had fulfilled her affection. Regardless of whether Lemir made a fatal mistake, he had put in great effort to establish the Gemini Kingdom. He should enjoy the treatment and glory he deserved__ Of course, punishment is also necessary.
Seeing that Danica was leaving, Lemil hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the civilian..."
Danica had already stood up, and when she heard him say this, she stopped and smiled gently, saying, "The civilians have paid the price for their mistakes. The main task that the Guards will do next is to punish the culprits who caused it. Don't forget that they threw the lives of those civilians into the gambling table as bargaining chips."
"I know, I know..." Lemir murmured. He knew that once the Queen he served took action, he did not intend to let this matter pass easily. His brothers were dead, and this could not be saved at all. However, the interests of the civilians and the vast civilian class of the Gemini Kingdom were what Lemir finally pursued. At the last moment, he still had to ask the civilians.
"I know they made mistakes, unforgivable mistakes, but they were all dead, what should those civilians do?" Lemil's eyes revealed anxiety and pain. "Without their leadership, the workers could not fight the factory owner class led by the Aishu Chamber of Commerce, and civilians could not live their lives!"
Danica said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will urge Ai Xue to come up with a regulation as soon as possible to promote the workers' twelve-hour working system."
The so-called twelve-hour working system does not simply refer to forced restrictions on workers' working hours, which is just a short-sighted method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The real purpose of this regulation is to allow workers to get enough rewards after working twelve hours, to support their families and ensure food and clothing. This is to tilt the resources of the entire society towards the common people, and it requires coordination of all aspects of work, and even industrial upgrading is needed as the basis____Danika hopes that after reducing the working hours of workers, the production capacity of the factory will not be affected, and this can only be achieved by technological innovation. This is a complex and huge task that involves all aspects of the kingdom. Even if Danika urges, Ai Xue will cooperate fully, and it will take at least a few years to complete this resource tilt.
"Are you satisfied now?" Danica said with a smile. For the entire human race, the civilians in the Gemini Kingdom have lived a very good life, but workers generally need to work more than fifteen hours now, and the phenomenon of child labor is serious. The twelve-hour working system is already heavenly beautiful for them.
"Satisfied?" Lemir was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although Your Majesty loves civilians, this is not the ultimate goal in my mind."
"Then what is your ultimate goal?" Danica asked curiously.
Lemil lay back on the bed and said softly: "Your Majesty, there has always been a dream in my mind. In that dream, the workers enjoy an eight-hour work schedule, and they also enjoy two days off every week, and have more than a month of paid leave every year..."
This...is too exaggerated, right? Danica shook her head and said, "This may disappoint you. At least this will not happen when I control this kingdom."
Lemir smiled and said, "I know this goal is really as illusory as a dream, but it is still our goal."
"It's a good thing to have a goal." Danica did not criticize Lemil's delusion, but she still emphasized one thing, "But no matter what goal you are pursuing, you should not offend the royal power. I hope this lesson will leave a deep impression on you."
Lemir sat up struggling and bowed and said, "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, the Ministry of Administration..."
"And the Crow Brotherhood you made."
Lemil shivered and said, "Yes, there is a Brotherhood. Please rest assured that the Executive and Brother Crow will not make such stupid mistakes again."
Danica nodded and said, "I hope so, it is very troublesome to completely rebuild an administrative system." The last sentence Danica was said in a joke, but the warning sign of this sentence still shocked Lemil.
