Chapter 26: Aristocracy
"What, what? What is Dongmu looking for Nangong? ”
"Could it be ......" Shangguan Feifei's brain flashed, and her face became gloomy.
"But usually Dongmu-classmate and Nangong don't communicate much, it's not an exaggeration to say that they don't know each other, why?"
"Probably thinking that I will graduate in the second half of the year, I finally can't suppress my inner emotions and confide in order not to leave regrets?"
"Why Nangong-san? Dongmu-san didn't know that there was no possibility of revival of the Nangong family, and Nangong Yaqing was just a commoner with a bit of eldest lady experience. ”
All kinds of voices with feelings such as envy, jealousy, and unwillingness.
As for the boys, in addition to envy and jealousy, they also have to admit: Dongmu has a good eye, whether it is appearance or temperament, Nangong is quite outstanding.
If it weren't for her too cold personality, there would have been a lot of chasing her, and a few who had the courage to confess were also coldly rejected, leaving memories of hurt self-esteem.
So a considerable number of boys also expressed curiosity, this time, I don't know if Toki-san can succeed.
"Toki-san?"
Nangong Yaqing was very surprised in her heart, and felt the malicious attention around her, and she was a little flustered and at a loss for a while.
Don't know how to reply.
Say no on the spot, a tactful refusal, or a refusal after school?
His brain was tangled, and his face was slightly red.
"I'll be waiting for you there after school, Nangong-san, looking forward to meeting you."
Li Dong dropped this sentence and turned back to his seat.
Nangong Yaqing was stunned: she hadn't agreed yet, but the other party was a little self-assertive.
"It's so cunning!"
Nangong Yaqing gritted her teeth and secretly decided: Dongmu-san, I can't agree to your request.
……
Soon, the school bell rang.
Behind the school building.
I waited about twenty minutes.
A slender and graceful figure, it was only late, a gust of wind that rustled the leaves passed by, making her black hair flying, that delicate face, and cold temperament, exuding an aura of 'rejecting people thousands of miles away'.
"You're here, Nangong-san."
Li Dong said to her, with a sunny smile on his face.
Nangong Yaqing was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me quickly, Dongmu-san, what is the matter with you?" ”
"Well, can you really say it, Nangong-san, you don't seem to be in high spirits." Li Dong asked.
"Don't say it if you're afraid of refusal, there's only one chance, and I won't be shouted out by you in the future, Toki-san."
Nangong Yaqing frowned and said, what she doesn't like the most is the kind of boy who loves to be in the limelight and is surrounded by countless girls, for the Dongmulong in front of her, to be honest, she doesn't have a lot of cold.
"Then I'll say it."
Li Dong took a deep breath, and his expression became serious and serious: "Nangong classmate, I have always thought that you are very good, and you are my favorite type, so please be my Gu En...... bar. ”
"I refuse!"
Nangong Yaqing directly interrupted him and covered what he said: "I refuse!" ”
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, spread his hands and said: "No, classmate Nangong, just be a consultant, and I don't want to give you a salary, why did you refuse so directly?" ”
Belch?
Look at...... Consultant?
What the hell is this? A trace of embarrassment began to appear on Nangong Yaqing's face, and she just ...... Did she mishear in the wrong direction?
"It's like this Nangong classmate, relying on two mobile games, I have saved a lot of money, about one billion or so, it should be enough to reach the threshold of the nobility, and I hope to be promoted to the aristocracy, and I am also looking for a way in this area recently, planning to spend a sum of money to improve my social status......"
"It's just that I don't know how nobles live, and I need to pay attention to those customs and etiquette, but I'm a rough person, how to be a qualified nobleman, I don't know at all, I need someone to help, become my personal advisor, and be familiar with the life of nobles."
"Nangong classmate in this regard, you should have some experience and know those complicated rules, if Nangong classmate is willing to become my personal advisor and give some guidance, I believe I will soon become a qualified nobleman."
Li Dong explained, seeing Nangong Yaqing's head lowered, her face was half flushed, her body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Nangong classmate, I know your family's situation, but I didn't mean to offend, I really want to ask you for a favor." ”
"You...... You bastard! ”
Nangong Yaqing couldn't stand such a huge contrast, and turned her head and fled the scene.
……
Another few days have passed.
After a lot of effort, Nangong Yaqing was finally persuaded by Li Dong and agreed to be his "personal consultant".
As for the reason for the persuasion, it is quite simple: a monthly remuneration of 100,000. After the decline of the Nangong family, even if there are some close families to provide relief, the standard of living is still greatly reduced, almost a drastic transition from "delicacies of the mountains and seas" to "coarse tea and light rice", which is physiologically difficult for Nangong Yaqing, who is used to living a life of fine clothes and jade food, even if she tries her best to endure it.
If she has an income of 100,000 yuan every month, for her personally, she can eat whatever she wants, and she can buy some expensive goods, and in many ways, she doesn't have to be reluctant and patient.
The temptation of material things eventually defeated the persistence of the spiritual level.
Nangong Yaqing, who has a big ambivalence, entered her role and became Li Dong's personal advisor.
So in Nangong Yaqingna, in addition to learning a lot of aristocratic social etiquette, I also consulted a lot of high-value information about the aristocracy.
Protoss> nobles > commoners.
Of the three strata, the Protoss is at the top, but the population is scarce, and it is responsible for formulating the top-level strategy.
The main participants in the implementation of the policy are, of course, the aristocracy.
In Nangong Yaqing's depiction of envy and sighing, the image characteristics of the aristocratic group appeared in Li Dong's mind.
Monopoly, a merchant-type aristocrat will generally monopolize a certain industry in a certain area.
Hereditary, politician-type nobles, generations of hereditary parliamentarians, representatives of public opinion and other public offices, although there is democracy, but Feng Shui rotates between those families.
Corruption, very corruption, has been achieved to the extent of legality in many respects, and those convicted of "embezzlement" have gone too far to the level of unscrupulousness.
and other problems, all of which are very serious, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as extremely poor and extravagant.
Compared with the living conditions of the ordinary civilian class, the failure to rise up and take to the streets to protest is completely due to the high development of productive forces, and it is difficult for ordinary people to starve to death.
"This kind of social structure can't be done without major adjustments, and this is definitely an advanced stage."
"But the aristocracy has the need to exist, more than two hundred years ago, if there was no 'aristocracy' as the leading party, if they did not take out part of their interests, and maintained the 'aristocracy' class, they would have absolute force to eliminate all the opposing voices of the gods, and they would not be able to establish a stable and reliable rule."
"The banning of the aristocracy will immediately lead to catastrophic chaos."
"So...... It can only be reformed in a gentle way, tinkering, and not smashing and destroying everything. ”
Li Dong muttered to himself that the final reform plan had basically taken shape in his mind.
His nearly two years of experience as a high school student in Xihai No. 3 Middle School also reached the time of graduation.
