The European Parliament has basically disbanded by this time, and the parliamentarians have returned to their own countries, Wang Batian and Yang Qian are no exception, Yang Qian is beside him, if it is Li Xiaohan or Huang Ya, if it is Li Xiaohan or Huang Ya, I have to go to Paris to have a look, you must know that it is a romantic capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Yang Qian is by her side, it doesn't matter if she has a trip to Paris or not, for Yang Qian, no romance can compare to the allure of politics for her. It's a pity that the status of a European parliamentarian can't be given to Yang Qian, otherwise it would be most appropriate for her to attend the monthly meeting of the European Parliament instead of her.

Speaking of which, Yang Qian has no foundation, if she has a certain reputation in the UK, then it is not impossible for her to replace Wang Batian as a member of the European Parliament, and the old Forlie will not let his son replace him as the representative of the Forlie family? Of course, people who don't have a little foundation will definitely not work, because citizens will question this, although Wang Batian has just come to England, but the title of duke on his head can make all criticism disappear.

Returning to England and Winston, as soon as he returned to the castle, Wang Batian's face instantly turned cold, and Dan, who he thought was the most unlikely to have an accident, actually fled with 30 million pounds on the Duke's Palace.

These 30 million are also the only remaining funds in Duke Winston's Palace, don't look at Duke Winston means that 60% of the wealth of the entire area is owned by the Winston family, in fact, the expenses of such a large family are not small at all.

First of all, some necessary banquets for the duke need to be held, and once they are held, then they can't be simple, in the eyes of Western nobles, thrift is not a good word, it means the decline of your family, it means your stinginess.

If you don't want to have such a misunderstanding, then you have to hold any banquet in Dali, as for how big and luxurious, this is naturally the bigger and more luxurious, the better.

During the old duke's lifetime, any birthday banquet and celebration party cost 8,000 pounds at the very least, and there were at least a dozen or twenty such banquets a year.

The cost of this is not too big, what castle repairs, what activities, these are the big heads, among which the activities are the most popular among the British aristocracy, don't underestimate these horses, the three most expensive horses in the Duke of Winston's ranch are worth as much as 260,000 pounds, and have won three consecutive British horse racing championships.

The cost of the Duke's Palace in bits and pieces is at least 600,000 pounds a year, not to mention that the farm is not profitable every year, once there is bad weather, then when the loss occurs, the Duke of Winston, as the owner of the farm, also needs to take care of the farmers who are unlucky due to natural disasters.

It is definitely not a trivial matter for Dan to take away the 30 million pounds, because then the Duke's Palace even has problems with normal operation, and the steward of Vincent almost fainted after knowing about it.

He has always been in charge of the accounts of the Duke's Palace, and now Dan has been able to withdraw more than 3,000 pounds from the accounts of the Duke's Palace, and it can be said that he has a responsibility that he cannot escape.

Wang Batian, the old butler of Vincent, has never trusted very much, but now that Wang Batian understands that Bacheng has nothing to do with the old butler of Vincent, but this is an opportunity, an opportunity for him to leave this vital position.

"Lord Duke......"

Butler Vincent stood in front of Wang Batian with a pale face, such a big thing happened, no matter who was mainly responsible, he, the butler, could not escape.

"Claire is a nice guy, let him follow you! And I think Matthew is good about the valet thing, Vincent, what do you think? ”

What else can Butler Vincent say at this time? Wang Batian had already expressed the matter so clearly, but he didn't expect Wang Batian to know so much about the situation in the Duke's Palace, he never thought that Wang Batian would promote Claire and Matthew, Claire and Matthew, one of them is a handyman and the other is a driver, but they don't even have the identity of a manservant.

Butler Vincennes was silent but the others were dumbfounded, ladies needless to say, they were shocked that Wang Batian was going to let a handyman be the future butler of the Duke's Palace, and at the same time let a driver be the duke's personal valet, this, this is really ridiculous.

The duke's personal valet is also called the first valet, that is, in the future, Claire and Matthew will be second only to them in the Duke's palace and these ladies and Rowan and Auston, and there were originally Dan and Allen, but now ......

Thinking of Dan, the old lady who was already old and confused turned out to be more sober, because she knew that she was confused, and no one avoided saying a lot of things to her, but at this time the old lady looked at Auston with an angry face, stretched out her finger and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

At this time, Auston's face was ugly, because Wang Batian did not do what he imagined, it was his idea to let Dan leave, and it was also his help to take away 30 million pounds, Auston's purpose was very simple, Vincent was not the most loyal person of the old duke, so now get him away, and the two most likely candidates to take over as butler next have an unusual relationship with him.

At that time, with the help of the housekeeper, he didn't dare to think about regaining the title, but it shouldn't be a big problem to get some more property, and he was staring at the thousands of kilometers of land owned by the Winston family.

The land on the farm is naturally not valuable, but these thousands of kilometers of land include some urban construction land, and in general, these thousands of kilometers of land are now worth more than 10 billion pounds, and they have royal blood, if they can take this land, Auston does not have to worry about the title.

Offending Wang Batian? If it is reasonable to get this land, then Alston does not have to worry about anything, and the royal family will not allow an outsider to bully the royal family.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the housekeeper is his person, otherwise there is no way to implement all this, and the departure of Alan and Dan is his preparation for this matter, after all, both of them are directly in charge of the business of the Duke's Palace, and Alan is directly in charge of the farm, and they will be the biggest obstacle to Auston.

The stones had all been moved, but what Auston didn't expect was that it was not a smooth road in front of him, but a new obstacle erected by Wang Batian, and even the obstacle in front of him was even stronger than the previous one.

The confused old lady's actions Wang Batian naturally saw it in his eyes, he didn't pay attention to it, and he also had a period of time in the UK, and he was also very clear about Dan's character, although he was a good gambler, but he definitely couldn't do all the money on the accounts and didn't have the guts, there must be someone behind it.

It is possible for several old ladies, Rowan is possible, and Auston is more likely, but this kind of thing pays attention to a piece of evidence, and even Wang Batian can't do anything with them without evidence, after all, he just came here and doesn't have his own foundation, and he can only regret it recklessly.

For example, Steward Vincent, the easy Wang Batian really can't do without him, because once the old duke leaves, he knows the most about the connections of the Duke's Palace, and if he leaves the Duke's Palace, then who is the enemy of the Duke's Palace and who is the ally Wang Batian will be confused.

It's not that these connections can't be reorganized, but it will take a long time, and it won't be clear at all in two or three years, especially when some things are taught orally, and often these things are crucial.

For example, the old Forlie family, if Steward Vincent didn't say it, who knew that the Winston family and the Forlie family had such a deep contradiction, in case the other party used a peace talk as a trap, it was impossible to say that Wang Ba would jump into it naively. There is also a mercenary group in the hands of the Forlie family, and such a thing is not known to idlers.

It can be seen from this that the Duke's Mansion is really inseparable from the Butler Vincennes, and the identity of the Butler Vincennes must also be worn, and it doesn't seem like a big punishment to help him arrange an apprentice, but in fact it is not.

The profession of butler is generally hereditary, for example, Vincent's butler's father was the first butler of the old duke, because of the trust in him, his son Vincent succeeded him, if nothing else, his son will also become the butler of the ducal palace in the future, but now......

For a steward, it is the saddest thing for the master to no longer use your family, and the loss is not only as simple as a job, but also the honor of the family.

As soon as this verdict came out, Vincent's old butler directly showed that he was more than ten years old, and he was not too young, this time it really hurt his vitality, although he felt a little pity for this old guy, but Wang Batian understood that the most taboo thing in his identity was soft-heartedness.

"Suzanne is a very diligent little girl, let her follow me!"

At this time, Yang Qian suddenly spoke, and Steward Vincent's eyes lit up, and he saluted Yang Qian to express his gratitude, because Suzanne in Yang Qian's mouth was his little daughter.

Vincent's housekeeper has a total of two daughters and a son, and his son is now also working in the Duke's Palace, responsible for the procurement of the Duke's Palace, which is a very oily position, but because his son is the butler of the Duke's Palace, letting him go to this position is not to fish for oil and water, but to prevent the occurrence of oil and water.

The eldest daughter has been married, because the identity of the butler of the Duke of Vincennes's palace is also half a big man in the place, so his eldest daughter is married quite well, the son of a rich man in Winston, and the younger couple is quite happy.

The youngest daughter of Steward Vincennes is twenty-six years old today, a little younger than Yang Qian but a steady child, and her hands and feet are also very diligent, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't like the enslavement of others by the Western aristocracy, it is estimated that she would have left Suzanne by her side a long time ago. Of course, Yang Qian can't admit that there is another reason, that is, she needs to guard against the Vincent family. But don't worry now, this matter has taken away most of Vincent's rights, and Yang Qian can use his daughter with confidence. (To be continued.) )
