I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 142 Make Shenbang great again!
Shenbang.

three days later.

Citizens' Assembly.

Today there is only one topic: the election of the tribunes.

"Do not be nervous."

Before Lu went on stage, Al sorted his clothes for him, making sure that every detail was correct,
"Shenbang hasn't elected a tribune for many years. You are the first order nominee. In previous citizen assemblies, the first order nominee has the highest probability of winning."

Luden nodded, he didn't feel any nervousness.

Luden has seen even bigger scenes.

What's more, for this day, he has already made complete preparations.

Behind Lu Deng, he is not alone.

The odd-numbered university scholars fully support it, and the six university scholars have very good personal relationships. More than half of the justices have clearly expressed their opinion on Luden. Needless to say, the attitude of Pangge, the mainstay of the Shenbang War Hall
Standing behind Lu Deng is half of Shenbang.

How to lose?
On the contrary, Al kept reminding Luden not to be nervous, while he himself was too nervous.

When Al turned up Luden's collar for the third time, Luden held her hand and signaled that it was all right.

The location of the Citizens' Assembly is the largest Colosseum in the Kingdom of God.

This Colosseum was built [-] years ago and covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The auditorium is divided into six floors, each floor has [-] entrances, and can accommodate nearly [-] people.

The number of Shenbang citizens is naturally far more than [-].

But the problem is: not all citizens of Shenbang are interested and qualified to participate in the Citizens' Assembly.

Although there is no entrance fee for the Citizens' Assembly, it is a torment to sit on a stone and be exposed to the wind and sun to participate in the whole day's Citizens' Assembly.

Also bring your own food.

Moreover, based on past experience, if the whole family goes to the Citizens' Assembly, the possibility of the residence being stolen will be greatly increased!

It's not a peaceful time.

During the days of refuge, the law and order of the Kingdom of God will collapse in stages and to varying degrees.

This is impossible.

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the Kingdom of God for refuge, most of them had meager wealth and might be thrown out of the Kingdom of God at any time.

In this case, of course they will choose to take the risk.

Even if there are twice as many guards on the street, it still cannot prevent this from happening.

In order to prevent these petty thefts, it is necessary to leave a guard at home.

Therefore, citizens who are truly capable and willing to participate in the citizens' assembly cannot even gather [-] people.

Those civilians who have nothing to do want to participate in the citizens' meeting and cast a sacred vote.

Think beautiful!
A commoner must look like a commoner!

Isn't it kind enough for them to listen outside the Colosseum? What more could they ask for?
It took most of the morning just for the citizens to enter the venue.

Pang mobilized an entire legion to be responsible for the security of the citizens' assembly.

They not only have to check every citizen's wooden sign, but also maintain order on the spot.

The most important task: to protect the security of the Senate.

In Shenbang's Citizens' Assembly, justices and scholars all sent representatives to attend.

However, all members of the Senate were mobilized as witnesses to the Citizens' Assembly.

If someone wants to plot against the Senate, he can use this opportunity to bring the Senate to an end.
Shenbang seems to have nothing to lose?
Pang Ge was even a little hesitant, whether he should arrange a few righteous men to frighten these bad old men.

In the end, under Luden's persuasion, Pang gave up the idea of ​​this prank.

Leaving aside the Senate, Luden needs to win at least three of the six districts in order to be elected tribune.

However, in Pang's view, Luden has already won.

First of all, Luden has only two competitors, both of whom are rushing to the shelves.

One is an old scholar introduced by a university scholar. He has been studying the sacred code all his life and has no interest in serving as a tribune.

The other is a fourth-class female judge from a certain palace, with outstanding professional ability and good care. Lu Deng has met her several times at dinner parties.

Very moist.

The only problem with the female judge is this: no one knows her.

That's right, the candidate for the Tribune is a technocrat who works behind the scenes all year round and has never had any direct contact with citizens.

Luden even suspected that if it wasn't for the balance of the gender ratio, this kind of thing wouldn't be her turn at all.

Shenbang has its own national conditions here.

Among the three candidates, Luden is the most famous, most popular, and has the strongest support behind him.

The university scholars and the justices launched these two people to fight Luden, and their own attitudes are already very clear.

Doing this is just to make face look better.

Otherwise, if Luden ran for the election alone and won the election, wouldn't it appear that the Citizens' Assembly had an inside story?
How can this work!
This citizens' meeting, like previous ones, was doomed from the start.

It's just a process.

As for the attitude of the Senate
Actually, the Senate didn't care.

The Senate really didn't care who was the tribune. They even passed unanimously in the previous vote, approving Luden's candidacy.

the reason is simple.

Whoever will be a tribune will not protect the people.

Why not have one more fellow who is in the same boat?
What's more, the fate of the tribunes of the past dynasties was not very decent.

The elders were even willing to give Lu Deng a push to see Lu Deng's jokes.

Malicious killing is prohibited!

Of course, Luden knew very well that accidents sometimes happen.

Therefore, he made a lot of preparations in advance.

There are a group of middle-class and wealthy people who went bankrupt in debt in the transaction of the blessing contract.

According to regulations, they will be deprived of their status as citizens of the Kingdom of God and expelled from the Kingdom of God.

As their creditor, Lu Deng generously suspended the debt period and was willing to postpone it for a few days.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world.

These people who are on the verge of bankruptcy must make the right choice at the Citizens Assembly if they retain their status as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

When the Citizens' Assembly is over, they will voluntarily sign a labor contract with Luden to pay for their sky-high debts and serve Luden.

For Lu Deng, these days, it is really difficult to find a few people who can read and write to exploit! No, he means to send blessings!
In Shenbang, people who are good at reading and writing are all going to take the examination of scholars.

These people after bankruptcy are still very fat leeks in essence, and they still have residual value.

Of course Luden would not give up.

And for these poor people, the way out provided by Luden is their only hope.

They can retain the citizenship of the Kingdom of God decently, can work for Mr. Ludeng, and while earning enough money for food, they can repay a little interest on their debts every day.
What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

These people are Lu Deng's iron ticket warehouse.

There are also the professional soldiers of the Shenbang Legion, the veterans who retired from the front line
This group of people absolutely followed Pang Ge.

Maybe they don't know much, and they don't have much literacy. They are just a group of reckless men who know how to hack, hack, and kill.

However, this group is well aware that the Senate will not stand with them.

The Legion is only a knife, a urinal of the Senate.

When they are needed, the honor of the Legion is above all else.

Roll aside and destroy yourself when you don't need them.

The only personnel thing the Senate does: never pay.

But the Senate doesn't issue too many miso!

Only by following General Pangge can we have a bright future.

These people, at Pangge's request, closely followed Lu Deng's pace.

With two iron ticket warehouses, Lu Deng can leverage more people.

Coupled with the vigorous publicity of the Lucky Newspaper, the oil painting was exhibited in Shenbang City, and the pregnant women showed their gratitude to Luden.
In this era, Luden has used all the means available to campaign!
if you can't win
Lu Deng could only ignore Wude, took out the yellow robe that had been treasured for many years, put it on Pangge, and shouted long live.

Shenbang, you don't want to have another emperor, do you?

The Citizens' Assembly went well.

Justice Enwei briefly introduced the three candidates and entered the referendum without even a debate.

Next to each citizen's seat, a sign is placed in advance, and a fingernail can leave a black mark on the sign.

If you choose the first candidate, you will get one line, and if you choose the second candidate, you will get two lines.

Because the process of drawing is a bit painful, many people will only draw one stroke.

Halfway, it counts as one!
After the citizens have determined their choice, legionnaires will recall the plaque under the supervision of the scholar.

Then, scholars and judges will start to count the votes and count the voting results.

The same day the election, the same day the results.

This is Shenbang efficiency!
The Colosseum began to get busy, scholars and judges kept shuttling, everyone was busy with their own business.

I haven't elected a tribune for many years. Even if I know the process, I will be a little unfamiliar at this point.

Fortunately, it's not a big problem.

Before nightfall, the results came out.

There was no suspense in this citizen meeting.

The election results, supervised by the justices and confirmed by the heresy trial, were sent to the grand elders.

He walked to the center of the Colosseum with a solemn expression.

"I announce!"

The great elder wearing a white scarf looked around and said in a deep voice,

"As a result of the referendum at this citizens' meeting, the winner is ... the first candidate, Luden Y. Weigood!"

"Luden Y. Weigood, a citizen of the Kingdom of God, will serve as the Tribune of the Kingdom of God for a term of one year, effective immediately!"

The design of the Colosseum allows the echo to be continuously strengthened.

The voice of the Grand Elder can be heard in every corner of the Colosseum.

Amazing!

Soon, the cheers of mountains and tsunami drowned out the voice of the Grand Elder.

People don't know why to cheer.

Half of the people didn't know Luden, and even if the other half did, they knew very little about this man.

But they are still cheering.

At this moment, it is right to cheer.

The Citizens' Assembly has fulfilled its duties and made the right choice, and Shenbang is still walking on the great road!

If this choice is incorrect, someone else must have made a mistake!
Responsibility by the whole people is essentially another kind of non-responsibility by the whole people.

Elder Knight stepped forward and offered a ring made of olive branches.

Luden lowered his head slightly, and put on the supreme crown.

Justice Eun-wi approaches, wraps him in a white scarf, and congratulates him on becoming a member of the Senate.

Wearing a white scarf and crown, Luden looked around and raised his arms.

The restless crowd gradually calmed down, and everyone's eyes focused on the only protagonist.

Under this gaze, Lu Deng raised his head and opened his arms, as if there was infinite passion bursting out, and his whole life was burning.

He promised to all the citizens of Godland,

"Make Shenbang great again!"
