Chapter 358 New Laws, New Departments

358 New Laws, New Departments

"Alright, now that we're all gathered here, the first thing we should handle as a single entity is the legislative side." The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Now that we have removed the nobility system, the current laws would need a lot of amendments. How long that would take, even I have no idea. However, it's a fact that it will never end if we don't work on it.

The laws from the previous system were... How do I put it? Nobility-centered? It was as if the peasants weren't even treated like humans, as all laws gave more consideration to nobles than commoners.

For example, when a noble condemns a commoner for a crime, then the one condemned would be deemed guilty immediately. No such thing as a council or a fair judicial process would start.

"And so, we would start amending the laws starting from that."

*BAM!*

I placed the thick book of laws of the previous kingdom before us in the middle of the long rectangular table.

"I'm already warning you, but we'll not stop until we finish all of this. Yu Na, make sure to keep the minutes of the meeting. Max, take charge of encoding the amended laws."

With that as the opening, our long and arduous fight with pen and paper began.

The entire process that the new president, Will, and his other officials were doing ended up taking over a week. Food and water were delivered to them by their respective tamed monsters, and the only breaks they had would be health breaks in between each law.

During that time, Ember continued providing a steady supply of a total of 900 guns to the designated merchant organizations and giving them the designated amount of bullets they ordered.

For the bullet manufacturing, Will wasn't able to leave his post, so he told Fatima to relay his orders to the succubus tamers.

With the pipelines for creating the guns and bullets in place, nothing is stopping Will and the others anymore.

Every single day, Ember would sell a few thousand guns. Along with it, millions of bullets. Billions of profit came in like flowing water, making Will feel relieved that the kingdom's pockets were getting slightly deeper.

With ample funding available, they could also begin handling the things that were delayed due to a lack of funds. To be specific, the rewards for those who participated in defending the kingdom and the bereaved families of those who gave up their lives protecting the kingdom.

Just like that, a full month passed since Will was elected King.

The busy days were starting to become calmer, but his sleeping time was still under four hours daily. The country still had a lot of things that needed fixing, so Will's job was just beginning!

A certain morning, when the breeze was getting cold, hinting at the coming winter. Will stood up, facing his girls, and spoke with a clear voice.

"Everything's starting to stabilize. I guess it's now time for that."

Ember and Fatima looked at each other, seemingly guessing what he was planning.

"Do you mean you're finally building [that]?"

Will nodded, his face turning serious.

"Yes. I think it's time to introduce science and technology to this world!"

Happy New Year, everyone~!
