Parliament Hall

“In order to reduce the probability of ordinary people being bewitched by devil believers, I propose to establish the “Labor Protection Act”!”

The factory owners and representatives of various departments in the audience saw the “Labor Protection Act” distributed to them, which limited the maximum working hours of workers, factory owners could not arbitrarily deduct workers’ wages, and protected workers’ safety. These people were either calm, surprised and angry, or thoughtful.

Obviously, Saralin had discussed it with some people before the meeting started.

So some people seemed calm.

“Does anyone oppose this proposal?”

Antoine, the mayor of Gran, who presided over the meeting, had a stiff face. Saralin did not inform him, the legally highest leader of Gran, of this proposal in advance.

This made Antoine very angry, but he did not dare to show it.

He now only hoped that this bill would be criticized and opposed mercilessly, so that Saralin, a woman, would step down in disgrace.

Unfortunately, his wish was to be unfulfilled.

Because the people Saralin had won over, represented by Manolin, stood up to support Saralin.

"On behalf of the Gran City Medical Equipment and Weapons Manufacturing and Communications Administration, I agree with Director Saralin's proposal!"

"On behalf of the Gran City Naval Base, I agree with Director Saralin's proposal!"

"On behalf of the Gran City Water Resources Administration..."

"..."

For a while, several government departments and sea merchants agreed to Saralin's proposal.

This made those who wanted to oppose it hesitate.

After all, if it was just a department of the Investigation Bureau, no matter how strong the Investigation Bureau was, it would not go against the decision of the "majority".

But now that there are so many people supporting it, the situation is a little different.

If you raise objections now, then others may not be in trouble, but the first person to raise an opinion will definitely be hated by these people.

Just when those who wanted to oppose this proposal looked around and wanted to find someone to stand out, someone finally stood up.

"I object!"

A factory owner named Yale stood up tremblingly.

Yale owns a medium-sized machinery processing factory in Gran City. Although he is not a top factory owner in Gran City, he is also a top figure.

But compared with the director of the Bureau of Investigation and her supporters, Yale is completely inferior.

In normal times, he would never dare to be the first to speak out!

But Jared, the largest machinery manufacturer and seller in Gran City, is sitting next to him!

Compared with offending Jared, a big man who can make him 100% bankrupt with just a flick of his finger, offending Saralin and her supporters is not an unacceptable result.

After all, if he offends Saralin, he can only sell his property and go bankrupt, but if he offends Jared, he will not even have the possibility of selling his property.

"Is there anyone else who opposes this proposal?"

Seeing that someone was the first to speak out, Antoine immediately began to stir up trouble.

"This is the Gran City Council, a place for free discussion. No one will be retaliated against for raising an objection."

After hearing Antoine's words, some factory owners in the audience began to stir again.

Manolin saw that the situation was not good, and immediately spoke loudly:

"That's right, we will not retaliate because some people raised objections!"

Manolin put special emphasis on the word "retaliate" to emphasize that he would not retaliate.

After Manolin said this, the guy who originally wanted to raise objections suppressed this idea again.

With Manolin's tone, it would be strange if he didn't retaliate afterwards.

After the fermentation of these days, even those who were not well-informed among the people sitting here clearly understood what Manolin did.

Some of these people have personally watched the big pit that Manolin made.

So these opponents faced Manolin, who was almost legendary, and faced his threats. These people felt that it was not unacceptable to give workers a little higher treatment.

"These lost profits should be regarded as gifts to this quasi-legend."

The opponent comforted himself in this way.

As for Manolin, he threatened these maggots.

Not to mention his own strength, he was not afraid of business.

After all, most of what he sold were weapons, and he traded with the military and law enforcement departments.

For factory owners, their influence in these departments was limited, and they could not interfere with these departments' purchase of Manolin's weapons.

It could not hinder Manolin's arms business at all.

Antoine saw that the guys who were originally ready to move were honest after being threatened by Manolin, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

He was angry at the weakness of these factory owners, even their own profitsHe dared not defend his rights.

But he also did not dare to offend Manolin, so he had to laugh dryly:

"Haha, since no one objects, let's vote."

The Elliot Federation implements a real-name voting system.

Facing Saralin, Manolin and their supporters who were staring at everyone, everyone else voted in favor very sincerely, even the most stubborn people only abstained from voting and did not dare to directly oppose.

After all, for these opponents, the general trend has been determined, and now voting against it will have no effect except to make Saralin and others pay attention to themselves.

...

Soon the voting results came out, and the "Labor Protection Act" proposed by Saralin passed the parliamentary vote with 512 votes in favor, 45 abstentions, and 1 vote against.

After the bill was passed, the matter was not over yet. After all, it is useless to have laws without people to enforce them.

So the Investigation Bureau took the lead and other departments jointly established a joint law enforcement team.

This law enforcement team is nominally a team under the name of the Gran City Government, but it is actually managed by Saralin.

After all, everyone knew Antoine and his city government's integrity very well, so it was impossible for him to manage the law enforcement team.

In this joint law enforcement team, Manolin also made a lot of efforts - he sent some security guards and several mechanical spiders to join the joint law enforcement team.

Letting some security guards and mechanical spiders join the joint law enforcement team was also the result of Manolin's consideration for a long time.

First of all, the joint law enforcement team has these powerful combat forces, and they can solve ordinary problems by themselves.

After all, they are facing factory owners who don't have much force. The strength of ordinary security guards plus mechanical spiders is enough for them to crush these factory owners.

Secondly, Manolin considered that after he built the floating fortress, he would not stay in Gran City often.

Manolin was going to move the clinics and factories in Gran City to the floating fortress, so that some workers and security guards would not be able to follow him to wander around the world for various reasons.

The workers' problem is easy to say, he can also leave some factories for them to work.

And the placement of the extra security guards is a bit difficult.

The factory he left behind would not be too large, and the things produced by the factory in the future would not have high confidentiality and security requirements.

Therefore, the factory would not have many security guards, and the remaining security guards would not be used for anything other than protecting the MMC department.

So Manolin decided to let them join the joint law enforcement team.
