Viscount Lincoln was always personable.

He is the Prince Charming in the eyes of all Poitou's unmarried girls, and the best son-in-law in the eyes of all the parents of the girls who are still to be married.

He was young, handsome, dashing, artistic, and clean, there were no bad rumors, and more importantly, he was also wealthy, and the Lincoln family was one of the large landowners of Poitou.

It is said that once Viscount Lincoln went to the opera, and his box was crowded by the girls who heard the news.

This makes men of the same age not calm, such as Percy Robinson. It was as if all the good things in the world were taken up by Bieber Lincoln alone.

Comparatively, Percy is much more cynical:

"Look, the playboy is here too. I still have something to do, and I'm out of company for the time being. ”

Jealousy, it's definitely jealousy.

"Sean, it's nice to see you. Well, you're dressed in a very chic way!" Lincoln said with a smile.

"Bieber, it's nice to meet you too. How's it going?" said Sean.

"Like you, I've been busy helping the victims, and now I'm finally relieved. Lincoln said, "I can't imagine how you heard that there were 40,000 victims in Sipwatu?"

"As long as you can raise food, anything can be done. Sean said, "The Robinson family has supported some at a low price, His Excellency the Governor has also transferred some, and I have asked a captain's friend to purchase some from the north, and there is no middleman to make the difference, and I can finally survive the summer harvest." ”

"Sean, you are such a merciful lord. Lincoln praised.

"No, no, Bieber, there is no lord now, everything is to God and the emperor. You and I are just ordinary people with a little ability. But with great power comes great responsibility. ”

Hearing this, Lincoln subconsciously blinked, if there was a grace, this made Sean's hair stand on end, does this thing also discharge to men?

"And Sean, do you also approve of the Governor's 'security tax' on the rich?" asked Lincoln.

"Looks like everyone knows what they're here for. Sean didn't answer directly.

"The Estates-General exist for the sole purpose of collecting taxes. Lincoln shrugged, "I'll be shocked to hear that the corpse of a werewolf has been transported, and you'll see it later." ”

Lincoln whispered with a mysterious expression. The werewolf's corpse is a bombshell that will become the secret weapon of His Excellency the Doge.

It's still a secret, and as for how Viscount Lincoln knew, it's not Sean's concern. Sean is just a lucky one, far from having the background of these old families, they can always get the news as soon as possible.

"How's going on the other side of Ultra Mountain?" asked Sean, "I don't want Genoa to be in trouble." We can't afford to toss. Last time, the True God Party robbed the prisoner in front of us, but what about this time? Won't it show up again?"

Sean's words were a little frivolous, schadenfreude, and Lincoln said:

"Probably not, the secret police have already given the True God Party a taste of power, and in the past few months, they have arrested more than 20 True God Party henchmen, and I have even heard that some people have committed suicide by biting their tongues because they can't stand the torture. ”

"Oh, that's horrible. Sean nodded.

Seeing that Sean didn't care about this topic, Lincoln said again: "I heard that the Pope of the True God Sect will send people to our southern mission. ”

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor declare the True God Cult an illegal religion?" Sean was surprised to hear the news.

"Sean, it seems that your news is really not very good. Your Majesty wants to ban the True God Religion, but it is simply impossible to do it, because the True God Religion has a very strong foundation among the people. As soon as the ban came out, even Gyeonggi showed bad signs. Therefore, His Majesty withdrew his decree and allowed the True God Church to continue to preach, but it was not allowed to set up churches, and neither the churches nor the True God priests were allowed to own property. ”

"Why?" Sean really didn't understand.

Because the Church of the True God originally advocated asceticism, and did not even allow the priests to own any property, they had to beg for food from the congregation, and even more so, they had to give back to the congregation and oppose demand. His Majesty seized on this and asked the Pope of the True God Cult to make a compromise. ”

In the face of power, the True God Cult succumbed, but it also won the space to survive. There are no churches, no possessions, and no food and drink, which tests the piety of the clergy.

Sometimes Sean maliciously wondered if Shakley, the priest of Sawyer's church, would still claim to be a loyal servant of God if he didn't have enough to eat.

At this time, Lincoln said: "Sean, the nobles of the whole province have gathered here today, and everyone wants to know you, please allow me to introduce you to your lords." ”

"It's my pleasure, there's a lot of work!" Sean nodded, putting the matter about the True God Cult aside.

As mentioned earlier, Sean has been famous lately.

People waited to see the jokes of this country nobleman, especially when they heard that he had accepted the news of tens of thousands of victims, but the results disappointed them.

They don't care about how Sean manages and takes care of the tens of thousands of victims now, how many people die or how many people live, it's not the point, they care about how much money Sean has.

Considering that there is also a 200-kilogram gold statue in the rose garden, this should be a significant amount.

Sean is still unmarried, and some people wonder if there is still an unmarried girl of the right age in his family, and whether there is a possibility of becoming a viscountess.

Aristocrats are respectable, rich nobles are more approachable, and other things such as etiquette, dress, and dancing are no longer a problem - I heard that Viscount Connelly can't dance - this is a funny topic.

Sean became acquainted with a cast of nobles, including the Edward Davis, and Lincoln introduced him to the Third Estate.

In addition to the scholars, lawyers, doctors, and magistrates of the local courts, the rest were basically the richest people in Genoa.

Some people were dissatisfied with Sean, such as grain merchants and speculators, and Sean bypassed them to purchase grain directly from the north, making them make a lot of less money. Merchants with interests in the port of Poitu were wary of Sean's opening of another port in Vichy.

The bankers were intrigued by Sean and asked in person if he needed a loan for the construction of the port and road in Vichy, as a nobleman with a 200-kilogram gold statue was clearly a potential good customer.

As for the president of Poiup University, Roland Meunier was extremely enthusiastic and complimenting to Sean:

"His Excellency Lord Rocky Hill, distinguished member of the Royal Society of Science, it is an honour for me to know such a distinguished person as you. ”

Meunier's performance was almost stuttering, which was not commensurate with his scholarly status.

As a long-established university, the University of Poitou is not having a good time right now, as it relies on funding from the city of Poitou, and this year it has been even worse when the school has not repaired its buildings that collapsed in the earthquake.

Without money in his hands, he will not be able to retain some well-known scholars, and without well-known scholars, he will not be able to recruit more students.

The headmaster had wanted to visit Sean for a long time, but the earthquake and the disaster relief that followed interrupted his plans.

Mr. Chancellor directly proposed that Sean be appointed honorary president of Poitou University, hoping to use Sean's influence to influence Mayor Stanley's appropriation.

It was not without businessmen who wanted to donate money before, but Mr. Chancellor refused, believing that the position of the university was sacred and noble, and must not be stained with the stench of copper. But Sean is different, the name of the members of the Royal Society of Science, the whole empire is only 200 people, and he is just right as the honorary president of the university.

"The genius curved neck flask experiment has become an indispensable teaching experiment for the university, and the Connell sterilization method is playing a huge economic role, and if you can take this honorary position, the University of Poitou will be even more rich and intelligent. The principal said.

Viscount Lincoln, who was standing next to him, said:

"There's also the sensational blood group study. It's hard to imagine, because when you think about it, the principle is so simple, no one thought of it. Sean, you made history, you saved a lot of people who would have bled to death. ”

"No, no, I just don't use my mouth. Sean said, he didn't want to be entangled in this regard, and he didn't want the principal in front of him to entangle himself, "Principal Meunier, in fact, I understand your purpose very well. However, there is a way in front of you, but you turn a blind eye. ”

"What?" the headmaster didn't quite understand.

"In the third estate, I see a lot of judges, lawyers, and doctors, some of whom are your students, and if not they're not, most of them are Poitou graduates, right?" Sean asked.

Viscount Lincoln laughed, "Me too!"

"So, Mr. Headmaster!" said Sean with a particularly meaningful glance at Meunier, "what are you here for, just as a delegate?"

Sean walked away after speaking, and Viscount Lincoln thought for a while before suddenly speaking.

As for Principal Meunier, it was only then that he reacted.

What to do here, of course, is to discuss and vote on a new tax. His Excellency the Governor is determined to win this vote, but it is bound to be met with strong resistance.

Although he is only a poor principal, he has many students. Most of those aristocrats, no matter what kind of family education they received, went to university.

A significant number of the senior clergy had studied in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Poitou, and at least eighty percent of the judges, lawyers, and doctors had graduated from the local Faculties of Law and Medicine at the University of Poitou.

Thinking of this, Headmaster Meunier immediately took action, and he startled himself with a little count:

Of the total 109 delegates, 70 graduated from the University of Poitou, with a particularly large number of the third level, and there are certainly some omissions.

Then it was seen that Rector Meunier had been personally invited to the governor's office by Mayor Stanley.

He had been in the governor's office for more than an hour, so that the Estates-General had to convene later than expected, and the delicacies from the Harbour Hotel Poitou could not dampen the wrath of the delegates.

Governor Byrne was charged with deliberately treating a distinguished guest.

Some were gearing up to give him some color at the afternoon meeting, so that the foreign governor could get a taste of isolation.
