209 Return
Just as Fokker was plotting something, there is no shortage of ambition in this world.
In the luxurious and elegant room, seven or eight nobles were sitting upright, surrounded by the henchmen of their respective families, these people were all a corner of the great pond of the southwestern aristocracy of Bol City, similar to what Falk had considered, these people had also entered Bol through the royal capital and found some benefits to seek. Much the same as Fokker's demands, they hope for the continuation of the family.
People like to describe a major event with a set of shocking words, such as the Maple Leaf Northern Expedition, the Grand Duke Dispute, and so on.
In the history of violet in recent years, similar events have occurred frequently, whether it is the Northern Resistance to Vitan or the Western Liquidation, which are all major historical events. In the history of the West, there have been several great liquidations in just a few years.
The frequency of power shuffling eliminated many nobles.
The nobles sitting here today are all the lucky ones left from such a big screening without exception. Of course, there are some nobles with strategic vision like the Pophy family, who have survived several shuffles purely by their vision and wisdom.
But more often than not, many aristocrats avoided political turmoil because they were lucky.
It can be said that among the seven or eight nobles here are some of the lucky ones, and there is no lack of clever politicians, but they are by no means mediocre, because a mediocre and ordinary person can never sit in this position.
The patriarch of the Harris family is a lucky one, their family is located in the southwest mining area, famous for mining for generations, don't get me wrong, they are just mining, the owner of that deposit is not their family, therefore, many people call them with contempt - "Miner Harris". It seems that everyone has the impression that the Harris family is a larger miner leader.
In fact, the patriarch of the Harris family behaved very aristocratic etiquette, and he dressed in the most decent high-class dress of the aristocracy, his dark gold collar and that kind of faint reserve, all of which made him extremely in line with the image of a nobleman.
Perhaps because people disparaged them, the Harris family survived the turmoil with thousands of miners and their familiarity with the terrain, and then played an active role in the development of Ball City, and now they are the new family of Ball City.
"I think the Wallen family went to Ball City because of the much-breaching Congressional bill," Sicoe Harris crossed his legs, holding a cigarette from Blackstone in his hand, the rising cigarette filling the room with smoke, and Sico's nonchalant face looked very calm in the smoke.
Taking a light breath of cigarette, Xike's face was full of enjoyment, this kind of special cigarette from the [Botanical Garden] of Gray Rock City, the price of one is enough to discourage civilians, but its effect is also powerful, not only can it refresh the mind, but even it has a trace of vitality inside, which can nourish the nobles, so as to achieve an effect of enhancing resistance.
Squinting, Sico's voice echoed, "The Valen family must hope that our Bol can join the Congress, we can get in touch with the people of the Valen family, if the southwest joins the Congress, as long as we are among them, we can also be regarded as on the line with Magnolia." ”
O House of Valen!
Prime Minister Frances Wallen is this honorable surname, and once the parliamentary bill is passed, a large part of it must be seats belonging to the power of the Wallen family group.
The seven or eight aristocrats here, all of them are some kind of people, but they are just a group of survivors and lucky people in the political disaster. Even in the relaxed political environment of Ball City today, they need to form caravans to occupy a strong position in Ball City.
"Lord Sico is right, this is a good opportunity," another nobleman said, "the city of Boer is not very friendly to our local nobles these days, and that Lord Dick seems to encourage us to do business, but don't forget that we are nobles by nature, and we should use our abilities from the perspective of rulers, and if we can get in touch with the Valen family, we can occupy a place in Magnolia, retreat, and make friendships with the Valen family, at least we can make our business more extensive." ”
Truly.
For these nobles, although their lives were not threatened in a relaxed political environment, the city of Boer restricted the rights of the lord in many ways, such as tariffs, such as some abnormal laws on the territory, and the lord lost his absolute dominance over the territory.
So to speak.
The social status of the lords has declined, and they are no longer absolute rulers, but their wealth and some other channels of power have increased.
Although these nobles turned to business, with the influence of the nobility, they could easily have achieved significant success in business. But sometimes these people who survive the political turmoil will run out of luck one day.
With the deliberate encouragement of the city of Boer, they have achieved success in business, so these guys have actually begun to swell in their hearts.
They felt that the nobles who had been destroyed in the political waves were a bunch of fools, and that they had survived were all really wise men, and now that they had achieved wealth and higher achievements, they began to get a little carried away.
For example, now.
These people seem to have decided the future of Boer City, and they have no scruples about the thoughts of the rulers of Boer City, they only have their own interests in their eyes, and in front of the Valen family, it seems that Boer City has lost its deterrent power.
Perhaps because Dick the Fat Man has been indulging in lust, this puppet has lost its deterrent power, and some people have begun to be bewitched by wealth and prosperity, and they have forgotten the deepest darkness that hides under that light.
............
Soon.
After the emissaries of the Valen family entered the city of Boer, the city of Boer began to be turbulent.
Cows, ghosts, gods and snakes from all walks of life have surfaced.
Aside from the strong commercial and prosperous atmosphere on the surface of the city, in the shadows, some well-dressed nobles and all kinds of decent people of high society began to meet in secret, and everyone was trading, compromising and negotiating, and the new city of Boer had a strange and strange feeling for the first time.
It is such a sensitive time.
Another convoy crept into Boer City, and unlike the Wallen team's eye-catching, this one from Erdos was a low-key one. On such a day, Wang Xiaotian, who had been away from the southwest for a long time, quietly returned to Bol.
