Luo Ming's appearance has already suppressed everyone, even Prince Oldman, who is a little impressed by him.

Even many people have taken the initiative to talk, vaguely revealing their courtesy.

Feeling such an atmosphere, Luo Ming coped with it easily on the surface, but sighed in his heart.

Originally, he was just rough about the etiquette of the nobles, and it didn't matter in the principality, and many nobles were not as good as him in this regard, but when he came to the imperial capital that was too entangled in etiquette, he would inevitably show timidity.

Therefore, Luo Ming spent a lot of time in the mental space to further learn etiquette from Aya.

Even for a great sword master, it is definitely not an easy task to master so much in a short period of time.

Luo Ming couldn't help but sneer.

How idle were the people back then, so they created such complicated etiquette rules, and how boring the later generations were, not only trying to inherit the whole thing, but also bringing forth the old and making more tricks, more and more year by year.

The time and effort spent learning these things is, in a sense, a complete waste.

— but that's the big picture.

Just as the rulers of England on Earth felt that civilian entertainment was a waste of time, and did not hesitate to issue edicts to force them to practice archery during their rest time, so as to recruit soldiers in times of war.

The same is true for the government of the modern earth.

Young people do not get married, have children, work and buy houses, but live a Buddhist life, play games and watch animations, and the government will feel that this is a waste:

If you don't empty your six wallets to buy a house, what will happen to the economy? If you don't have children, population growth will slow down, and what will happen to the demographic dividend?

But for Luo Ming personally, taking the time to master these complicated etiquettes can make a large number of upper-class people with power and power look up to him, and it is easier to reach cooperation intentions, which is equivalent to winning at the starting point.

These etiquettes are equivalent to a stepping stone to the top society.

People who don't have it, even if they have thousands of dollars in their pockets and have thousands of armies under their hands, they are often despised and looked down upon by the upper class, and even if they want to cooperate, the other party is easy to use unilaterally and cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Just now, Luo Ming had already met several people who had a certain right to speak and strength in the imperial capital, and had already established a relatively close relationship on the surface.

For example, Baron Peifour, a lean middle-aged man with a mustache, enthusiastically recommended his banking services to Lockin.

It is important to know that in this era, after crossing regions, coins often need to be exchanged for local coins in order to be used normally, and it is inevitable that they will be exploited in the process.

If Luo Ming brought gold and silver ingots, if he wanted to use them normally in the City of a Thousand Towers, he would be charged a seigniorage of about 7% before he could exchange them for gold and silver coins.

If he brought gold and silver coins from the Duchy of Lothar, he would be charged a 10% exchange fee to exchange them for Imperial coins.

Baron Pei Fort, on the other hand, generously offered to offer Lockin a low-interest loan of 3.5% per annum, capped at 2,000 gold coins, and agreed to repay it with the actual gold content of the coins.

To put it simply, this means that Login can directly receive up to 2,000 Imperial Gold, and after a year, pay back another 2,070 Lothar Gold (Imperial Gold and Lothar Gold are basically the same gold content).

If he didn't go through Baron Peifuer's door and went through ordinary channels to exchange it, if he wanted to get 2,000 Imperial gold coins, he would need to pay the equivalent of 2,140 gold coins, or 2,200 Lothar gold coins.

This one in and one out, two minutes of effort, saved dozens or hundreds of gold coins, which is already the amount that some minor nobles can save in a year's hard work.

Another nobleman, Lord Gulal, who ran a medium-sized talent market, was willing to provide him with ten servants for free during his stay in Luomin, hoping that he would praise the quality of these servants a little bit in the future, which would be regarded as an advertising effect, and then invite him to have time to go to the talent market to have a look.

Although Luo Ming did not dare to let these servants participate in key positions, there was no problem in simply decorating the façade, sweeping the floor and wiping the table to decorate the courtyard, and it really saved an expense.

This scene reminded him of "The Count of Monte Cristo".

He read this book when he was in elementary school, and after many years, he has forgotten a lot, and even if he is now a great sword master, it is difficult to get back what he has completely forgotten.

But Romang still vaguely remembered that when the Count of Monte Cristo showed that he had extraordinary wealth and noble status, how many nobles were scrambling to scold him.

This is naturally good news for Luo Ming's life in the imperial capital, of course these people and Luo Ming are not really familiar at first sight, they have to bow when their eyes meet, and they are willing to stick a knife in their ribs when they say a word, they are just ready to put a long line to catch a big fish, make profits from Luo Ming, or say a win-win deal.

But it's no problem to ask them to do some small things and help a little favor.

In order to "make friends" with such a noble and powerful person as Luo Ming, they will be happy to help.

In addition to that, it was even beneficial for him to consolidate his rule after returning to Schönbrunn -

The servants, soldiers, and the sons of the nobles who had followed him here, seeing him so warmly received by the nobles of the City of a Thousand Towers, and going back to spread the word of mouth, naturally made his authority more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Next, when Luo Mingdu was almost annoyed by so much hospitality, the banquet finally came to an end.

The banquet itself was prepared by Oldman in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for Luo Ming and others, and the accompanying guests invited were all reliable and friendly people, and they gradually dispersed in a measured manner, and there were naturally no problems during the whole process, and there was no jealousy, questioning and provocation at all.

Next, before the sky was completely dark, the prince arranged for people to lead the way for Luo Ming's entourage, and left Luo Ming alone.

The servants removed the leftovers and immediately replaced them with a large number of snacks and desserts that had been prepared for a long time, and the two began to get to the point.

The full name of the prince is quite long, but in short, it is Oldmann von Aloha Zeebsburg.

Von Aloha literally means "from Aloha", in this case "ruler of the Aloha region".

The Aloha region is not large, but it is a domain owned by members of the high-status royal family, while Zeebsburg is the surname of the royal family.

This middle-aged man, or rather a middle-aged man, is actually seventy-two years old, and he is now the uncle of the Supreme of the Anson Empire.

Although he has an unusually noble status, he has never been involved in the issue of inheritance, and he has hardly intervened in the imperial government, but is keen on all kinds of pleasures, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he is so young and energetic now that he is old.

Of course, this noble elder is also very different from mediocre people when he enjoys it.
