Chapter 149: The People's Will Can Be Used
Of course, Luo Feng would not let go of such a good opportunity for blackmail, and reached a series of secret agreements with the female mayor that could not be made accessible to outsiders, and he happily walked to the balcony on the second floor of the city hall.
The crowd saw Bredrow walk out, and the shouts of protest gradually subsided.
"Citizens!"
With tears in his eyes, Bredero said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you for your support of the Bredero Troupe, for speaking up for me and the actors, and it is a blessing for the troupe to have your group of loyal supporters!" ”
The people were greatly encouraged, cheering in unison, and cheering endlessly.
"Originally, our troupe was frightened by the cruel methods of the wicked, and did not dare to stay in the city of Askatra, for fear that it would suffer even more terrible attacks in the future......"
"Don't be afraid! Mr. Bledero, we will not allow the wicked to get their way! ”
"Please don't leave, Mr. Great Performer, we are still eager for you and your troupe to choreograph more wonderful stage plays!"
"Damn scoundrels, it's so hateful, why would you want to poison the cutest group of people in Askatla?"
Hearing Bredero's offer to leave with the troupe, the people couldn't help but shout.
"But!"
Bredrow changed his words: "For you, for the sake of our loyal audience, and for the lovely citizens of Ascaltra, I have decided not to leave!" I will not allow the villains who blew up the theater to succeed, I will not be intimidated by terrorism, and I will not bow to the forces of evil! Death and knives and guns cannot threaten artists, bombs can blow up theaters, but they can't blow up our hearts yearning for art! ”
"Oh, that's great!"
"Mr. Braderow is brave!"
"It's amazing, it's amazing, to suffer such a blow, and still insist on not compromising!"
The people listened to the troupe's director's promise not to leave Am, and their hanging hearts finally relaxed, what they were most afraid of was losing the troupe and not being able to enjoy wonderful dramas like "Titanic" anymore.
Mayor Bailana, who was quietly observing from behind, noticed that the emotions of the crowd were no longer agitated, and boldly stepped out and stood beside Bredero.
"Porphyry—porphyry—"
As soon as she appeared, the mood of the people changed again, and boos erupted.
The mayoress said embarrassedly amid boos: "Don't get excited, everyone, under my persuasion, the Bredlow Theater Company will not leave Am, and the council will start a discussion on the construction of the new theater as soon as possible, and when the new theater is completed, everyone can enjoy the wonderful performances of the theater company again." ”
"Female liar! The politicians can't believe their rhetoric, the issue of building the Amm Grand Theater has been dragging on for four or five years, and now the site has not even been completed, and I don't know when it will be built! ”
"Yes, I heard a long time ago that a grand theater was going to be built, how many years have passed, where is the theater?"
"The public theater has not been built, not to mention, the private theater has been blown up, what is the city hall doing every day? What are the officials doing? Do you eat mixed rice? ”
Abusive voices abounded, and it was clear that the credibility of the city hall of Ascatra had hit rock bottom.
Bailana had no choice but to cast a plea at Bredero.
"Citizens, please don't embarrass Your Excellency the Mayor."
Luo Feng said: "She has done her best, she just promised me that in order to compensate for the loss of the troupe, the agenda will be passed soon, the Grand Theater will be completed within a month, and the City Hall will compensate the Braidro Troupe after the completion of the Grand Theater, and our troupe will soon be able to resume performances." ”
The female mayor opened her mouth when she heard this, and wanted to refute, what she said was obviously authorized to be used by the troupe, and she never said that compensation would be given to the troupe, how could public assets be given to private individuals at will?
Besides, the theater was not blown up by the city hall, so why should the city hall pay for it?
"Great, the town hall has done a good job."
"It should be like this, I wanted to unite the representatives of public opinion to bring up the mayor's impeachment in the parliament, kick this woman from the mayor's throne, and see that she handled this matter well, so let her be spared once."
"Hmph, the politician's assurances are not credible, it depends on her performance, if she still lies, then the impeachment case must be filed, how can such a person who lies so much be in a high position?"
Hearing the cries of the people, the female mayor could only swallow the bitter fruit and did not dare to stand up and refute Bredro in public.
If Bredrow had made a surprised expression and insisted that she had promised in private, but now she repented in public, and resolutely left Amne with the troupe on the grounds that she had been deceived, her mayor would have come to an end, and she would have been labeled as a "liar-laden liar" and hung on the pillar of shame in Amne's political arena forever.
She pondered the feasibility of paying for the construction of the Grand Theater at the City Hall and compensating the Bredero Troupe.
Can this matter be passed in Parliament? Can the Council of Six support it?
Not to mention, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not impossible.
If the troupe were to blackmail the troupe into releasing a new play without giving it to the theater, the nobles and businessmen who had already become fans of the troupe might not be able to unite and give up their personal entertainment in order to keep public property.
The public money is not the personal money of the parliamentarians, and no one will feel sorry if they throw it all into the water.
Besides, apart from the Bredero Troupe, there are few decent troupes in Am, and the Grand Theater doesn't give new plays to the Bradero Troupe, so is it right to let the fools of other troupes stand in the pit and not, and make some bad plays to stain people's eyes?
The townspeople supported it, and the nobles and merchants did not oppose it, so there was not much hindrance to doing it.
As for the indiscriminate use of Amm tax subsidies to build theaters for private theater companies, resulting in the loss of public assets, the citizens who pay taxes have no opinion, and the public servants who manage the taxes are still tossing?
Mayor Byrana, who figured out this reasoning, simply stood up and approved Bredero's statement: "That's right, this time the city hall has made a major decision to make every effort to promote the bill to build a grand theater for the Bredero theater in order to ensure that the citizens can get the best entertainment. ”
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Mayor, we want to see which councilor dares to be the enemy of the citizens of the city!"
"When the time comes, we won't surround the city hall, and whoever votes against will besiege whomever we have a home!"
"I feel uncomfortable not seeing Titanic! Whoever makes me uncomfortable, I won't make him feel good! ”
The crowd is excited, and the public opinion is surging.
The parallel political system of the Council of the Six of Amm and the parliamentary system of aristocracy and businessmen is very kidnapped by public opinion, after all, it is not a lifelong imperial system, and the parliamentarians do not dare to offend the voters too much.
Luo Feng nodded again and again with satisfaction, this is called the people's heart, it all depends on the usual accumulation of character, good deeds and virtues, at the critical moment, it is really auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and good people have their own heavenly help.
