Chapter 208: Ball Undercurrent
In the new city of Boer, the prosperity of commerce brought more prosperous entertainment projects, as the so-called "full of warmth and desire", due to the rise of Boer, more and more western aristocrats like to meet in this place.
This is a political trend.
Bol City is the political center of the southwest, and the new commercial boulevard, from the traffic status, it is the economic center of the southwest, once the port project of Bunian is completed, from a large layout, the entire southwest will present a situation with Bol as the core.
The aristocracy is a natural political creature, and their own rights and interests are closely related to those in power, so just like fish cannot do without water, they will naturally gather in the place of those in power. Just like modern information warfare, many times first-hand information often brings unexpected and huge gains to the aristocracy, and there are also many times when it is easier to see the future political direction in the political center.
The Fergus family is a standard aristocratic family.
Their family's ruling place was Xiliu City, a city close to the Mary River Valley, and the lord of Xiliu City obviously knew how to take advantage of water conservancy more than a small place like Bunian, and the agriculture of fishing and aquatic production industries had created great wealth for Xiliu City.
If it weren't for the relatively flat geographical location of Xiliu City, and the city's population was not too large, and there were not many specialties in the territory, then during the Northern Expedition of Viscount Maple Leaf, Xiliu City would probably become a member of the first noble group of Viscount Maple Leaf's Northern Expedition.
The awkward geographical location limits the ambitions of the Fergus family, but that doesn't mean they don't have ambitions.
Since the end of the chaos in the west, almost all the former great nobles have been killed, and the rest are either only two or three kittens, or they have come under the rule of Boer City, and at this time, the Fergus family has become the tallest of the short.
The period of great economic development.
The Fergus family seized on the determination of Boer City to develop the southwest, and took advantage of the city lords to set up a medium-sized chamber of commerce and earn the first pot of gold in commerce. At that time, most businessmen were a group of bitter haha, and the Fergus family was backed by a city, so they naturally became asset predators.
As the economy became more and more prosperous, the Fergus family took advantage of the east wind of Boer City to become bigger and bigger.
This nouveau riche family bought a large piece of land in the east of the city of Boer, where every inch of land was at a premium, and they had an extremely luxurious mansion, exquisite gardens, and elaborate doorways...... Everything was such a luxury.
"Miss Telisa, a member of the Valen family, visited the city of Bol...... What this means. ”
Fokk, the patriarch of the Fergus family, crossed his hands, and closed his ten fingers tightly in front of him, the two sparkling gem rings on the ten fingers bloomed with an intoxicating light, and the mellow and seductive color flowed with the brilliance of magic, this gem ring should be the product of mages, and even the lowest level of magic items, the value is immeasurable.
Falk Fergus was a shrewd man.
Anyone who can be the head of a clan is not stupid, he is very smart, knows the rules of the game of the nobility, and always keeps an eye on the political developments of Violet. Take the visit of Miss "Teresa Valen" to Boer City, and he was the first to get the news.
During the period of economic development, the capital of the Fergus family was greatly expanded, and as an ambitious aristocrat, Fock's mind could not help but become active.
Let's be honest.
Falk is a traditional aristocrat, he has the shrewdness of the nobility in his bones, perhaps it is this shrewdness that made him the patriarch of the Fergus family, in the period of economic development, many nobles disdain to be in the company of merchants, but Fokker is very shrewd to smell the huge benefits of the Boer City order, he became the first person among the nobles to eat crabs.
Despite his keen eye for profit, it is undeniable that he is still a traditional aristocrat.
For him, commerce was just a means to bring the family further, and he still despised the merchant in his bones, he was a holy nobleman, and after the nobles had gained great wealth, they usually wanted to use the wealth in their hands to obtain a greater position of power.
And from the point of view of tradition.
Falk may not have the ambition to seek power, but he has the sense of family glory that traditional aristocrats have, a nobleman who has received an elite education from the aristocracy since he was a child, for them, the inheritance and glory of the family is higher than the interests of the country.
A noble family with a long history, even if it is powerful, cannot withstand hundreds of years.
To be able to extend the life of the family, in this era, in addition to producing great merits to the country, the biggest means is to have a strong enough land, and the territory is the key to ensuring the continuation of the family.
For example, Fokker has obtained countless fortunes through business, but in his heart he still thinks that these riches are just temporary prosperity, and only the "Westflow City" behind the Fergus family is their root.
But here's the problem.
Bol City has a huge project called the "Bunian Port Project", which is currently the largest project in the southwest, and it is almost to build a thriving port in the southwest.
Once the port is completed, merchant ships from the southern provinces and even the vast lands to the east will flood into the port.
Bunyan will be the second Dunerke, and by that time Bunian will be a hen that lays golden eggs in the southwest.
Falk has been following this project for a long time, and he knows very well what the "Dunerke" in the southwest means, and don't forget that the Garcia family is because of a Dunerke, and even dominates a province.
If the Garcia family can, why can't the Fergus family?
Faulk had spent a lot of money and put a lot of effort into trying to change the location of the Bunian Project to "Westflow City", but Fakker was still disappointed.
In his opinion, the king of the entire southwest should be the Dick fat man in the center of Boer City, but in fact, Wang Xiaotiancai is the one who dominates everything, and his investment and public relations are almost useless.
In addition, Wang Xiaotian's choice of Bunian naturally has his own plans.
But Faulk stubbornly believes that this is nothing more than his own public relations failure, for a powerful nobleman, they are naturally noble, they are pretentious, and Faulk is no exception, driven by interests and ambitions, he begins to give birth to some other ideas.
And the young lady from the Valen family in Magnolia was an opportunity.
"Maybe the arrival of that young lady will make waves in the west, and the Fergus family may be able to get something out of this!" Falker's eyes flickered, he knew very well how much power the Valen family had, and it was said that the head of the six giants of the "Imperial Council" was the Valen family.
The arrival of such a giant family member, regardless of whether there is any other motive behind it, falls in the eyes of those who have a heart, and there is no wind, he can also set off waves for you.
