Chapter 826 Domination of Southern Xinjiang (52) Economic Terror

On November 12, in accordance with the spirit of the “A Package of National Salvation Acts and Frameworks”, Ropierre announced the start of rectification of the Standing Committee, which marked the official establishment of the Standing Committee on December 22, 2924, and has been in use for nearly three years. , and finally came to an end.

Through Ropierre’s reorganization, the Standing Committee was replaced by the National Salvation Committee. Ropierre served as the chairman of the National Salvation Committee, and the chairman could promote 6 members to the National Salvation Committee without going through the parliament, forming the seven members of the representative committee. people group.

So what are the functions of the National Salvation Committee? According to the “Framework of National Salvation Laws” passed on the 11th, the background for the establishment of the National Salvation Committee is when Xie Bo was in danger. The ultimate purpose is to make Xie Bo transition from the chaos caused by the Great Revolution to a normal state. The task is to repel the intervening army and fulfill the promise to limit prices.

Therefore, when the National Salvation Committee was established, Ropier made it clear that the National Salvation Committee is not the same as the previous Standing Committee. It is not a formal institution and is of a temporary nature. As long as the final purpose is completed, the National Salvation Committee will be dissolved and the power will be returned to the National Assembly.

In addition, the biggest difference between the National Salvation Committee and the Standing Committee is that its power is unimaginable, even greater than that of the former Seliti III.

The reason for this is because Ropierre stipulated in the “Framework of National Salvation Acts” that in order to avoid Siebe’s energy still being spent in useless internal friction at the most dangerous moment, the established institutions should have more powers appropriately.

When the National Salvation Committee was formally established, Ropier made this clear. Only the chairman of the National Salvation Committee has the power to propose bills to the National Assembly, and other members can only recommend the chairman to vote for a bill. Once a bill is initiated, first of all Voting within the committee, the National Salvation Committee’s voting also adheres to the “compromise spirit”.

If the bill proposed by the chairman is not passed by the National Salvation Committee, the chairman can still initiate a bill in the National Assembly, but the requirements are the same as before, that is, two-thirds of the votes are required.

However, once the National Salvation Committee has passed a bill, and then initiated by the chairman of the National Assembly, the required votes in the National Assembly will no longer be two-thirds, but one-third.

The basis for this bill is that the National Salvation League has only 20% of the seats in the National Assembly, and it is too difficult to obtain two-thirds of the votes in favor. Holding a tiger is a problem, but one third is different, and the difficulty is greatly reduced.

The list of the remaining 6 members of the committee was announced on the 13th. Ai Bak, a shirtless man, was selected as a member, and Ji Weiluo, the commander of Shibo, was also selected as a member, and 2 were Ropier’s diehard loyalists. The next two members are Warner, leader of the League of Order, and Aidan, leader of the League of Civil Rights.

The reason why people from other alliances were brought in was because Ropierre wanted to show that the National Salvation Committee was not a role model for an alliance of the National Salvation Alliance.

But even if two other allies came in, Werner is now known as the so-called wall grass, and it is impossible to oppose Ropierre in a clear-cut way. Even if the remaining Aidan opposes everything, it is not enough due to the spirit of the compromise case. consider.

However, there is still another problem, that is, Ji Weiluo is the commander-in-chief of Shibo, and he is the general with the highest military status in the entire Shibo. If he joins the National Salvation Committee, who will coordinate the military deployment?

In this regard, Ropier said that Ji Weiluo was the commander-in-chief of Xie Bo, and he said that he was a member of the National Salvation Committee. These two facts are not in conflict. Ji Weiluo can join the National Salvation Committee and continue to perform his duties. It can be seen that this means that the Shibo army has bypassed the National Assembly and is under the control of the National Salvation Committee.

After the establishment of the National Salvation Committee, Ropier began to try to achieve short-term goals, first of all, to fulfill the basis of his ability to govern, that is, his promise to limit the price to the people.

After several days of discussions, Ropierre’s vigorous and resolute actions led to the formulation of the “Comprehensive Price Limiting Decree”, which was passed by the National Salvation Committee with 6 votes in favor and one against. Naturally, only the leader of the Civil Rights League, Ai Ai, opposed the “Comprehensive Price Limiting Decree”. Dan.

After the National Salvation Committee was approved, Ropierre formally proposed to the National Assembly to implement the bill on the 15th. After voting, the “Comprehensive Price Restriction Act” received 41% of the votes in favor, although less than two-thirds of the votes, but according to the The provisions of the “Package of National Salvation Laws and Frameworks” are allowed to be passed and passed.

Excerpted from The History of the Fall of the Parson Dynasty

“Ropier’s reign of terror consisted of two pillars, economic terror and political terror, and the pillar of economic terror was the General Price Decree.”

“The “Corn Price Limit Decree” previously implemented by the League of Order, although a certain price limit attempt was made, stipulating that the price should be limited to December 2923, but this price was formulated according to local conditions, and the limited price was only for grain This kind of food price does not involve other prices.”

“As a result, the scope of adjustment is very small, and the division of regions is unclear and unclear, leaving a lot of room for businessmen to operate.”

“However, the “Comprehensive Price Restriction Decree” is different. It not only targets food, but also extends to 23 necessities of life such as salt and fuel. Ropierre rigidly stipulated that the national price needs to be at the level of Batiros in January 2921. The price level, beyond this level will be considered illegal.”

After the promulgation of the “Comprehensive Restriction Decree”, Ropier soon put forward a second decree, the “General Mobilization Decree”, ordering Sibo to fully mobilize and conduct a real all-out war with the Holy Order Alliance.

Since the implementation of the “General Mobilization Decree”, the National Salvation Committee has called on workers and soldiers to dedicate themselves to a better future. While restricting prices, it also restricts wages in an all-round way, so that each factory can increase the production of materials at full capacity.

Since the dragon fruit bubble burst, every winter, Xibo starves and freezes to death a group of people, because these people do not have enough money to buy high-priced food and fuel, and survive the cruel winter. , usually joining the No-clothes movement in the coming year.

The year 2927 was the first exception, because this year Ropierre promulgated the “Comprehensive Price Restriction Decree”, which forced prices down, so that the general public could finally buy enough food and fuel to survive the winter.

However, when old problems were solved, new problems also appeared. When Ropierre formulated the price limit decree, he made a detailed examination of the prices in recent years before making the selection, which can ensure that at this price level, the vast majority of Food and fuel are available to most people.

But it is precisely because the vast majority of people can buy it that the inventory of shops in various places begins to shrink sharply, and it is quickly sold out.

Many families have bought enough food and fuel to last through the winter, but the scare of tragic memories of the past few years has led them to keep stockpiling just in case.

It should be said that the behavior of such people is still understandable, but some black businessmen are not. Through their keen sense of smell, they have seen early on the price caused by this price limit, and there will inevitably be a run on the market. Therefore, they use their own savings to hoard wildly, preparing to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country.

Black merchants can make so much money that they can’t help enticing those who are still abiding by the law to start withholding their inventory to keep these products for sale on the more profitable black market.

In this way, the prices of necessities in formal channels have indeed fallen due to rigid regulations, but they are also lacking due to the influx of a large number of purchased goods into the black market, which makes the prices on the black market high, and the lack of goods in formal channels leads to the masses having to go to the black market to buy, Limit laws are thus bypassed.

Some unclothed men who were dissatisfied with this went to Ropierre’s home and directly reported the situation to Ropierre, which aroused great attention from Ropierre, and held a meeting overnight to discuss corresponding measures.

Ropier’s measures can be summed up in two programs, strict control and strict control. Strict control is to strictly maintain the number of products sold by each merchant, and to introduce measures on restrictive purchases and rationed purchases, and strict control is to strictly arrest and crack down. Hoarding and black market smuggling.

With the order of these countermeasures issued, Batiros soon had a beautiful scenery. There was a long queue at the door of each merchant. Citizens had to pass through the long queue to buy their own quota~ www.readmtl.com~ The spy of the Holy Order Alliance who infiltrated Batiros took this scene and spread it to the south. Long queues to buy quota.

None of these measures have achieved good results. Ropierre believes that because of the unfavorable punishment, the courts basically belong to the faction that supports Shiaire and hate Ropierre’s mandatory price limit, so after catching the traders, they will be punished. The penalty is quite light, and the negligible fine further stimulates the activity of black businessmen.

Ropier feels that the best way is to let the National Salvation Committee also control the judicial power, or at least to carry out a major purge of the current judges.

However, after discussions with his staff and other committee members, Ropierre sadly found that this was an unrealistic idea and a situation that was almost unsolvable.

It is useless to simply control the judiciary, because any law must be enforced by people, and Ropierre could not cleanse the judges as he cleans the parliament.

It should be known that after the promulgation of the “Mother Law of 2925”, the then-ruler Shiairi carried out a comprehensive cleansing of the judicial circle, expelling all judges inclined to aristocracy, and replacing them with new judges inclined to reform.

Law is something that needs to be learned, and Chiaire has spent a lot of time in order to raise qualified judges. This is why the judicial community has no fear of Ropierre. Ropier does not rely on them. We can only rely on that group of judges who tend to be aristocratic, which is not as good as the current group!

After discussing for a long time in the committee, the answer that can be obtained is nothing more than Aibach’s severe punishment of lawbreakers, or Ropier’s severe punishment of judges.

The predicament at this time seems unsolvable, but after all, it just seems that the so-called only can’t think of it and can’t do it, Ropier fully digs his own brain hole and solves this problem in a new way.
