"Every year on the first of May, the Grand Duke holds a grand ceremony in the royal capital to confer decorations on the new nobles. A month or two before that, both the inherited nobles and the newly crowned nobles would gather in the royal capital, and it would be a grand event!"

Sherlock said in a slightly agitated voice.

For example, it's like knowing that an idol is going to hold a concert nearby, or getting a ticket for a World Expo.

After all, there are no computer games in this era, and books are relatively scarce, so it is not surprising that you can enjoy it while sitting at home.

Sherlock then began a long list of explanations.

Although the Grand Duke held the ceremony on the first of May, many nobles would have gone to the royal capital Brandon in advance.

Originally, they were looking for a place to live in advance, or by the way, they were shopping for something that they couldn't buy anywhere in Brandon.

But over time, the nobles discovered that by taking advantage of this annual opportunity, they could meet in Brandon and do many things.

Hold proms, recruit relatives, form gangs, and make private deals...... There are also people who will hold martial arts tournaments to show their faces and become famous in front of the nobles of the whole principality.

In addition, at this time, some children of noble families and freedmen would come to Brandon to show their talents, hoping to be favored by the nobles and hired as staff and subordinates.

Merchants would also take advantage of the large number of nobles to sell more and better goods, so that no one could afford to buy them.

Of course, the Grand Duke will also take this opportunity to inspect the conduct and political tendencies of these nobles who came to the royal capital, and will extend a hand to some promising new nobles.

Some of the little nobles with poor lands had a hard time, and the Grand Duke would lend them money, or simply recruit them to serve in the court or into the army.

In this way, it is ensured that all the nobles of the whole country will appear in front of the Grand Duke at least once, and he will look at them, and select some of them to win over and solicit.

Although it is not as bold as the imperial examination that "the heroes of the world enter my hub", it is already very superior on the mainland, and even some countries want to learn this set.

The aristocrats did not averse to gathering in a prosperous place like the royal capital of Brandon, and they always liked to have a cocktail and a ball...... The Grand Duke added fuel to the fire, and over time, it became an event similar to the annual festival.

Within a month or two of the ceremonies leading up to the 1st of May, Brandone would be flooded with aristocrats, retinues, and merchants—even those who had long inherited the family business or become new nobles would go there again to join in the fun.

And Sherlock is here to discuss this matter.

She had just inherited her uncle's title, and Luo Ming was the new nobleman she had just divided, and according to the decree of the principality, both of them should go to the royal capital within two years to report, pay a sum of money to register, and then replace the new title deeds, documents, etc.

Her uncle had taught her many things, among which was the present trip to Brandon: it was better to go as soon as possible in the first year, to show that he was willing to obey the laws of the Duchy, that he was loyal to the Grand Duke, and that he was eager to serve the Grand Duke.

And try to leave early, it's great to be able to stay there for two months.

"If you get to Brandon early, you can do a lot.

I attended a short spell initiation class in Brandon and witnessed a lot of things......"

Sherlock's face was filled with a look of nostalgia: "You can socialize with many nobles...... Of course, the Grand Duke is no exception. And in the case of the martial arts competition, it will definitely end with Luo Ming winning and becoming famous.

There are new fashionable styles of clothing, magic goods, libraries, and talent agencies...... If you stay in Brandon for a few more days, the reward will definitely not be small!"

"Hmm...... However, the longer you stay in that place, the more money you will spend, even if the cost of room and board will be dozens of times more expensive than in this rural place. ”

Luo Ming questioned very soberly.

Sherlock said triumphantly, "So you have to go there early, find a place to live in a relatively cheap place, and buy a lot of things in advance—when most of the nobles flock to Brandon, the profiteers can raise the price tenfold! ”

"Actually, you can also rely on this opportunity to make a small fortune......" Luo Ming said with a sudden smile.

"Rich?" Sherlock froze.

Granty, on the other hand, gave a serious look of interest to her.

"It's simple. Luo Ming put a steak into his mouth, and then said in a still clear tone, "There are always some things that most nobles need, let's buy some in advance, and when the profiteers raise the price high enough, we will sell them to others at a little cheaper, so that we can make a profit?"

We can also use the banner of 'fellow nobles, I don't want to see you blackmailed by profiteers, so I can't bear to give it to you', don't you say that those good-looking nobles won't remember this favor or give you a generous gift in return?"

Sherlock stared at Luo Ming in a daze, as if he were looking at a monster.

But she didn't look at her with disdain, as many old-school aristocrats do.

Her uncle is a brilliant man, who has received many years of elite education from his uncle, and has actually participated in the management practice of the territory, although she adheres to the glory of the family, but also deeply understands that money represents power.

Sooner or later, the poor nobles would have to sell their castles and land to pay off their debts, but the nobles who made a fortune could not fight a single battle, and could simply throw gold coins and collect the fertile land in their hands.

She was just amazed by Login's unique perspective.

Although Luo Ming understands the etiquette of the nobility and does not lack grace, he is simply like a shrewd businessman at the moment......

However, Luo Ming, who was still working as a mercenary not long ago and bargaining with people, is not surprising that he has this perspective.

Before Sherlock could come to his senses, Luo Ming asked again, "So, do you have a chance to meet the Grand Duke, or a close minister trusted by the Grand Duke?"

"Ah, I know Her Royal Highness, and I have met the Grand Duke twice...... What?" she asked, confused.

Hearing her affirmative answer, Luo Ming smiled.

"That's good......"

Luo Ming happened to have a flash of inspiration just now, and thought of a plan, if it was dedicated to the Grand Duke, he must know how to win over the young nobles' Grand Guild and reward him.

This is a clever plan, it is hardly difficult to implement, it will not cause any undesirable consequences, and if it succeeds, it will generate income for the Grand Duke, and even if it fails, there will be no loss.

Thanks to Sherlock, he was given the opportunity to get closer to the ruler of this country, and if he did not show his loyalty and show his ability, Login would have gone to Brandon for nothing.
