Chapter 530 People can't live in an illusory world made up by themselves, even if they are immortals, they have to breathe and fart
The world outside the imperial capital still maintains an eerie balance, and Prince Kant has stopped a lot lately, and no longer has nothing to do to jump out to stimulate Empress Pars, and it seems that a letter from Emperor Orlando VI has played a role. www.biquge.info However, it is impossible to want Prince Kant to return to the imperial capital, and neither Empress Pars nor Gan Wen has considered the probability that this kind of thing may happen, and if this problem can be resolved through negotiations, it may be the only and best way at present.
In the imperial capital, it seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, and many people's eyes are on Kent. As the leader of the Workers' Party, Kent alone was to some extent sufficient to represent the interests of the entire Workers' Party, and now he has made a public announcement that he wants to integrate the entire working class and plan to design a complete set of programs and rules for the working class. Many businessmen are inquiring about this, and the integration and planning of workers' forces is far more important to them than the influence of politics on them.
Their factories were full of brutally exploited workers, and in the imperial capital, for example, a worker in the prime of life had to work twelve hours a day, with only one or two days off a month, and his salary was not high.
It's not that there are no workers who ask for an increase in salary and welfare benefits, it's just that there are so many unemployed people in the imperial capital, you don't do it, someone else does it, and others can take the initiative to reduce their salaries or even take vacations. So all along, this kind of appeal can only be regarded as an appeal, not a demand.
What Kent is doing is destroying this "tacit understanding" between the rich and the working class!
The workers are looking forward to the gospel, but the plutocrats are the hatred of Chiguoguo. There is an old saying among the Desi, "The luster of gold is enough to stop the path of disaster, and if you take the gold, you get disaster." Although this ancient saying is different from the saying of blocking people's money such as killing parents, the content is roughly similar. There are already rumors that some wealthy people have spent a lot of money in an attempt to block Kent's decision.
In an open-air tavern on the edge of First Avenue in the Imperial Capital Silver Circle, Wren sat on a chair at a round table, one hand on the back of the chair, the other on the armrest, his legs crossed, and a pair of brown glasses. Glasses have only recently become popular, and it's a little anecdote to say.
Colored glasses have actually appeared in this world for a long time, but they have always been associated with alchemists - many times when alchemists adjust magic materials, they will produce all kinds of light and gases, and in order to observe the characteristics and subtle changes of the materials in the process of change as much as possible, alchemists must keep their eyes open and stare at the reactor without missing a second.
In order to cope with this problem, alchemists first began to use colored crystals as props to protect and maintain observation, so that alchemists did not need to miss the opportunity to observe due to the strong light source.
What made colored glasses popular was a few days ago, in the stage play staged at the First Grand Theater of the Imperial Capital, the very popular heroine came on stage because she took the wrong glasses, which made a big mistake in the stage play. Originally, this was just a mistake, but the people who watched it found that the heroine with colored glasses made her temperament a little colder and her skin looked whiter because of that pair of glasses, which was instantly popular, and it became popular in the entire imperial capital.
Merchants who were extremely sensitive to business made all kinds of colored glasses for the first time, and people called these glasses "alchemy glasses" or "labis glasses", which became popular throughout the imperial capital.
The pair of glasses on the bridge of Wren's nose was bought by von Cos.
He bought a total of 20 pairs of various glasses, more than half of which were custom-made styles, and there was only one pair in the entire imperial capital.
Today, the dark clouds have dispersed, the sun is shining, and the tiger after autumn has a tendency to raise its head, which is just right for taking colored glasses to the street, and Wren chose a pair casually.
The man sitting across from him was secretive, looking back sensitively from time to time, and he always felt that someone was watching him from a distance. His name is Colin, and he is a scholar with titles in the Empire, and he is also the "tide maker" in the last wave of suppression of scholars, of course, according to scholars, he is called a traitor. However, no one knows who was the first person to open up and betray the scholar community, Colin himself will not say, and Wren will not say it, after undergoing harsh interrogation, Colin was helped out of the Ministry of State Security with his head held up, and was even sought after and admired by scholars.
Of course, that's another story.
"Don't be so sensitive, no one will know that we are sitting here, a nobleman, and a traitor, sitting together. Wren stretched out his hand to take the juice cup on the table, and took a sip, the colorful juice emitted a faint fluorescence, if it was on earth, Wren wouldn't even drink a sip, and the devil knows how many additives were put in it. But in this world where there are not too many food additives, this kind of excellent fruit juice can still be tasted, and it tastes very good.
Colin smiled awkwardly, the word traitor stabbed his self-esteem deeply. If Wren didn't say it, he would have deliberately forgotten that he had peed his pants under the punishment of the pervert named Hugo and cried and told the past of everything.
He lowered his head and pressed the hat down from his head, the brim of which almost completely obscured his face.
"I think it's better to be careful, you don't want me to be picked out and sent to the pillar of shame for the rest of my life, right?", he slightly rebelled against Ren's army, maybe because of the instinct of the scholar in his body, or he still has a grudge against Ren, after all, the culprit of that unbearable scene is the young man in front of him.
Wren shrugged his shoulders indifferently, in the group of scholars, he is not the only chess piece like Colin, but Colin's reputation is relatively high, and he also has the title given by the empire, he is not willing to really lose this precious chess piece casually, and asked his question directly, "Do you know who the guy named Louis next to Kent is?"
After Suhu told Wren what he knew, Wren immediately briefly investigated Kent's staff, a scholar named Louvis, who was not well-known and not even knew much. Wren didn't believe that a person entrusted with a heavy task would not leak out at all, and he didn't believe that this Louvis was not famous at all, and someone must know about this person, so he asked Phonkos to ask Colin.
"Louvis?", Colin looked confused, there were tens of thousands of scholars in the entire empire, and the ghost knew who this guy was, and the sentence in his throat that he didn't know was just about to blurt out, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and he remembered.
He is a scholar with a title, which means that he has made certain achievements and contributions in his academic field, and can be called a master in his field. When many colleges hold activities, they will always invite some scholars with titles to participate, which not only makes the activities more lively, but also proves the soft power of the college from the side. After all, he is a titled scholar, not a cat or a dog can invite him.
Louis remembered that the dean of the Imperial Royal Academy invited him to attend the graduation ceremony of the Imperial Royal Academy a few years ago, and the last student of the nineteen students who graduated that year seemed to be named Louvis. The reason why he can remember this person's name and remember it in a flash of inspiration is because Lu Siwei has a deep impression on him.
This is a very low-key student, when everyone else is happy and eager to fly, he just stands quietly at the edge of the crowd, if it weren't for the scholar's robe on his body to prove that he has advanced from student to scholar, I'm afraid no one will notice him. What's more, when everyone else began to enter the center, he took the initiative to choose to go to a small city to be a clerk, starting from the grassroots level.
Many people said that they couldn't understand Louvis's choice at all, the Imperial Royal Academy was basically a place to cultivate talents for the center, and after graduation, they directly entered various departments, and the starting point was unimaginable to outsiders. At such a high starting point, there are people who are willing to start from the grassroots level, or take the initiative, if this person is not a fool, then he must be a great talent.
In fact, scholars also know very well that the grassroots is the most tempering place, but for scholars, it is also the most terrifying place. The grassroots level is not like the center, there are all kinds of laws and regulations, the grassroots level is completely a barbaric primeval forest, and it will not be respected by people because you have more knowledge than others.
It was for this reason that Colin remembered this man.
Later, he inquired twice, only to remember that it seemed that Louvis was favored by a certain big person, and then he lost the news.
"Who do you think is most likely to subdue someone like Louvis?", Wren didn't know anything about what was in the scholar's circle, this group of people played very alone, basically not with people outside the circle, "Could it be a nobleman?"
As soon as Colin showed a look of disdain, his face turned into an embarrassed smile in the blink of an eye, and the big man in front of him was not something he could despise. He smiled awkwardly and picked up the juice on the side of the table, gulped half a cup to cover the embarrassment on his face, lowered his head and thought about it, before he said: "Say something offensive to you, ordinary nobles really may not be able to invite aspiring people like Luvis, even great nobles may not be able to." β
"You may not know much about us scholars, but let me tell you this, the measure of a scholar's status is not how much wealth he has, or how high his status, but how much knowledge he has. Money and power may be able to impress some older scholars, who are no longer able to move forward on the journey of knowledge, but for young scholars, it is difficult to impress them. β
"Either you have a higher level of knowledge and level than him, or you can achieve his dreams. β
A faint hint of pride appeared on Colin's face, yes, that's how scholars hang like this, rich and powerful are birds? For endless knowledge and a world full of unknowns, whether it is money or power, it is difficult to impress young and aspiring scholars.
But Colin seems to have forgotten that he fell under power.
What are dignity and pride compared to death?
The corners of Wren's mouth curled and he stood up, Colin froze for a moment, and quickly stood up, because he was in a hurry, he pushed the chair when his legs were straight, making an unpleasant noise, which caused many people to look at him, which made him react at the same time, and he wanted to put his face on his chest.
"Thank you very much for your help, I think in a short time, we won't see each other again. Wren said as he reached out his hand, shook Colin's sweaty and slippery palm, nodded and turned away.
Colin's head was full of inexplicability, why did he say that Wren left? He thought about it and didn't find an answer, leaving a stomach full of doubts.
In fact, Wren has already got the answer.
If there is anyone else in this world who can help scholars realize their dreams, and at the same time is not despised by scholars, there are only two people.
The first person is the Emperor of the Orlando Empire, whether it is Empress Pars or Emperor Orlando VI, as long as he is the Emperor.
The second person is Gan Wen, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Ganwen's talent gives him plenty of time and energy to read a lot of books and accumulate all kinds of knowledge. Intellectuals respect intellectuals, and if Gan Wen, who holds a lot of power and is in a high position, and at the same time has a belly of talent and knowledge that is not hated by scholars, to subdue Luvis, it is very likely that he will succeed in turning Luvis into his team.
If Gan Wen is behind this incident, then does it mean that Gan Wen is preparing to suppress himself?
It is very reasonable to think like this, if you want to do something to a certain person or a certain force politically, it is the most stupid and naΓ―ve way to directly fight the king. Most of the time, people will cut off each other's wings and make each other "alone" before striking a thunderbolt.
The loss of Kent means that Wren has lost twelve voting seats in the Imperial Diet, and if Gampon uses some more means to make those wall grasses change their positions, Wren will lose at least close to thirty votes!
Thirty votes, which is close to one-tenth of the voting rights, when the general trend is gone, the parliamentarians who still had this deal with Rennes have left him one after another. Politicians should never be too emotional, only eternal interests are what politicians are after. They won't share the ups and downs with Wren, they will only stomp on Wren when he loses ground.
Those who can stand aside and watch are already very self-contained.
Originally, Wren didn't plan to get rid of Ganwen in a short period of time, but Ganwen himself made trouble with him and forced him to be ruthless, so he can't be blamed.
It's a pity, a brilliant prime minister!
Wren took out a white handkerchief and wiped the remaining juice from the corner of his mouth, and threw it on the ground.
A half-old child's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the handkerchief on the ground and followed closely behind Wren, "Uncle, don't you want it?"
Wren leaned sideways and smiled almost perfectly, "Ahh
The child jumped away excitedly, such a beautiful handkerchief, I'm afraid it can be worth a lot of money!
What a lively kid!
