Chapter 298 Temperament is something that can't be seen, but anyone can feel and even see its existence
The investment of one million gold coins is not a small amount, and with Renne's current value, he will definitely not be able to take it out if he does not consider selling things. www.biquge.info But then again, this million is not a one-time investment, it can be allocated in batches, and each allocation of tens of thousands of gold coins is enough to cope with a period of time.
There may be fools in the aristocratic world, but fools must not be in charge. Wren quickly reacted, whether Yelvina asked him to invest or want to send a cannon, the purpose was to involve a certain degree of relationship with him. Without Rennes' help, even if Xiliu City is established, it may not be as prosperous as Yelvina and her family envisioned. After all, the merchant group and the chamber of commerce have their own mature transportation teams and routes, and there is no need to go to the near and far to take water transportation.
This kind of thing can only be said to be your willingness, even if he sees through it earlier, it may not be that he will not agree.
To control a region, we must not only rely on force, but also grasp all aspects of life, trade, and culture in order to completely control a region. Force is fearful, but it does not make people respect, and there are always those who are not afraid of death who dare to challenge authority.
After sending Yelvina away, Gamven's butler himself came to the door and invited Wren to a very special party at the palace in the evening - the participants of the party were all golden nobles, and it was bound to be a new festival of profit distribution.
Once the reform of the Imperial Diet is passed, the expanded nearly 400 seats are coveted by these guys, and if everyone can control about 20 seats, then the golden aristocracy will have almost 200 seats in their hands, plus those representatives of the Kuomintang, the Industrial and Commercial Party, the Labor Party, the Peasant Party, and the local aristocracy, this small collective is enough to influence the situation of the Imperial Assembly as long as they are willing to give up some benefits to others.
This was the first time since the time of Orlando II that it had occurred, and it was enough to drive the Empress of Pars crazy.
In the evening, Wren dressed up to attend, in fact, the so-called dress is to wear some more trinkets, men's formal wear is never as ever-changing as women's clothing, there are not too many surprises.
In the entire small group of the Golden Aristocrats, Wren only knew Empress Pars, Prime Minister Gamwen, Marshal Greine, and Vito, the old dog. Others have met, but they don't communicate much with each other. Rennes was too young, and the patriarchs didn't have so much to say with his juniors before, so there was no communication and contact.
At this time, when I met at the banquet, the atmosphere was naturally not warm.
"This is my sister, my own sister, Golia!", the Empress of Pars was followed by a girl carved in pink, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and already possessed an astonishing appearance. Unlike Afro, Helen, Yelvina, and the other women Wren knew, Golia's temperament was very special, and if there was one word to describe it, it was holy. Her whole person is clean and pure like a crystal, with a hint of pink fantasy, and the brilliance is so dazzling that people can't look at it directly.
Celeste may be relatively close to her temperament, but Celeste lacks the indescribable noble temperament that Goliath was born in the royal family, Celeste is like the little sister next door, familiar in her kindness, right by her side, and does exist. And Goliath is too ethereal, or that kind of temperament makes her not at all like a girl who should be in the world, but more like a holy saint who has been endowed with some kind of divine purity, which cannot be defiled, and there is some distance between her and mortals.
Golia's smooth skin was pink, she looked a little nervous, and when she saw Wren, she saluted very quickly, and then stood behind Queen Pars, looking at Wren curiously with half of her head exposed.
Wren had seen a lot of the girl's curious and timid gaze, and he smiled confidently, "Don't you think it's different from the devil?"
There is a source for this sentence, Wren, who has learned the butcher's achievements in Bell Province, has become the spokesman of the devil among the people, and many people demonize Wren, and in the mouths of these people, Wren is almost a collection of all the ugliness in the world. The sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet are already considered to be the language of praise, and he is rumored to have three eyes, fangs, a nose like a bat, and a bloody mouth. There are webbing between the toes, the fingers are not fingers, but a kind of sharp claws, and he is also said to have a tail.
A child is eaten at every meal, and he usually drinks the blood of a virgin, and he is what the devil looks like, and there are many people who believe this rumor.
Rumors stop at the wise, but unfortunately there are not many wise people, and everyone prefers to use false rumors to prove that their news is more well-informed than others. After spreading more and more, Wren simply came out of the ground and became a devil in the world.
This is how those who hate him describe him, and it is undeniable that the vilification of the aristocracy has always dominated the common class and mainstream public opinion, and people love such rumors and are willing to believe that all this is true.
Growing up in the royal family, Golia, who has little contact with the outside world, understands the outside world, and most of the time relies on these gossips and the "book" spontaneously formed by the people. Some books are knightly novels, and Wren is the villain, and some books are travelogues, and Wren is still the villain.
In short, in Golia's mind, Wren is not a good person, but a complete villain.
The education of the royal family has proved more than once how absurd the world is, you can call her naïve, but you can also call her an idiot.
Wren is more convinced that she is an idiot than naïve.
Of course, in the presence of Empress Pars, he would not reveal such thoughts.
With a smile on her face, Empress Pars took Goliath's hand and quietly dragged her out from behind, hoping to use Goliath to capture Wren's loyalty. If, and it's just if, if Wren and Goliath get married, then it will be the biggest win. The Golden Aristocrats have always been married to each other, on the one hand, to maintain the current situation of the top rulers of the Golden Aristocrats, and on the other hand, to ensure the purity of the bloodline.
The bloodline is a dispensable thing when it is not needed to work, but when it is needed to prove something, the bloodline becomes a crucial thing. For example...... , the right to rule.
Before Orlando I was founded, a sacred covenant was promised that if the Orlando family could not take on the responsibility of a nation, then one of the other eleven sacred bloodlines could be chosen to take on the responsibility of the nation. This is a covenant that has been written into the charter, and whether it can be implemented or not, and whether anyone will take it seriously, is another matter. For the Golden Aristocrats, this kind of thing may be more symbolic than practical, but for the noble group, and for the nobles who are committed to overthrowing the rule of the House of Orlando, blood has become a very important thing.
Because of the bloodline, overthrowing the empire is not a rebellion, it can only be said to replace the mediocre emperor, which is the power given to all nobles by Orlando I. Without this bloodline, even if the rule of the Orlando family was overthrown, it would not be recognized by other nobles or other golden nobles.
Bloodline is the key to the top, and it is also the necessary key.
That's why even if some people don't like Rennes, they're planning to find a way to marry Rennes, such as Nengalel.
Wren overturned the two nobles he had sent to seduce Bethel, but he still supported Wren's proposal in Congress, whether out of justice or for some ulterior motive, at least he did. He also plans to introduce his granddaughter to Wren, who is not too old if necessary, and even plans to use drugs to make a fait accompli.
Getting back to business, Queen Pars looked at Wren with a smile and gently patted the back of Golia's hand, "What do you think of my sister?"
Wren looked at it for a moment, and when she saw that Golia's face was red, she was a little embarrassed before she smiled and said, "At least it's much better looking than you." ”
Empress Pars's face froze, and she glared at Wren, "You can never say anything nice from your mouth, you always have to make me angry to be happy, don't you?"
Wren shrugged his shoulders, and Goliath couldn't help but smile, her eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a smart look.
She realized that it turned out that Rennes was so terrible as she imagined, and it was very interesting, at least it could make her emperor sister unable to step down, which was unique in the entire empire. The rumors were unreliable, at least not for her to see what Wren and the devil had in common.
If you want to talk about appearance, in fact, Wren is not bad. At their level, it is not simply to look at people, but to pay more attention to personal momentum and temperament. Born as a golden nobleman, Wren was born with a temperament that looks down on all beings, his birth point is too high, as high as a cloud, and naturally has an extraordinary temperament. In addition, in just one year, the corpses killed in Bell Province were all over the field, and the youth and naivety on his body were all cut away by the cold and profound momentum, leaving only a kind of momentum that was not angry but mighty.
If a person has such a momentum, even if he is laughing, he can also reflect the momentum of the power of life and death in the palm of his hand, even if he is ugly, it will become majestic because of this, not to mention that Wren is not ugly. He has nothing to do with handsomeness, at most he is handsome, he is handsome, and he is impressed by the surging aura of wind and thunder between his gestures.
Facing Wren, the first thing that came to Golia's mind was her grandfather, Orlando V.
An old man who only needs a slight change between his eyebrows and eyes to make the nobles pee their pants in fright.
