Chapter 4: The Coslow Family
As soon as he took the first step, he directly crossed the gang, making Hudson's arrogance as a traverser disappear in an instant.
Sure enough, there are still many smart people in the world. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would have suffered a big loss in the future.
Perhaps seeing that Hudson was silent for a long time, mistaking it for a blow, Baron Redman opened his mouth to comfort: "Don't be sad, at your age, it's not bad to be able to do this."
In fact, no matter how wonderful the performance is, it can't fool the people who have a heart. It's just that most of the time, everyone chooses to pretend to be confused.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting to make a name for yourself with this, but it's enough to step on Lysur so hard, he's your brother after all. ”
Fratricidal cannibalism is very cruel for any father.
Don't look at Baron Redman's harsh punishment of Lysur, but that is just hatred of iron and steel, and deep down he still remembers this son.
After a pause, Hudson asked with some hesitation, "But father, didn't you say that as a qualified nobleman, you must always think about maximizing profits?"
Lessur, not only is he of bad character, but he is also incorrigibly stupid. Letting such a fool enter the aristocratic circle will only bring shame to the family, I'm just using it! ”
To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. Although the hatred belongs to the original owner, since he has inherited the identity of the original owner, he must inherit this hatred.
The humane destruction was too cruel, and Baron Redman would not agree, so he would take advantage of the situation and cut off Lysur's future.
Originally, as soon as this incident came out, Lysur's future development was affected, and it was difficult to go out before the turmoil dissipated.
Take the opportunity to step on it again, let him act as a stepping stone, and brush up a wave of prestige for himself, and the future of Lessur will be even more "promising".
Aristocracy has its own aristocratic play, and no one likes a guy with a bad reputation, especially a guy like Lessur who doesn't have a title, and no one will accept it.
If you can't get into the circle, how can you talk about a future?
Unless Lai Sur is a cultivation genius and stands at the pinnacle of the continent in one fell swoop. But this is almost impossible, the resources in the house are limited, and all the brothers and sisters are staring at it!
After years have passed, the genius has to be unknown to everyone, not to mention that he is not a super genius himself.
Probably stimulated, Baron Redman stared at Hudson for a long time before he said slowly: "Hudson, your views are too extreme. That's not what you should think at your age.
There is nothing wrong with utilitarianism, but we must have a heart that controls utilitarianism, and we can't lose our hearts in utilitarianism.
Although in the world of aristocracy, there is never a right or wrong, there are only pros and cons; But there are many smart people in this world, and many times being smart will only be mistaken by being smart, and you should learn to precipitate and hide clumsy.
Alright, you go down! Read the books in the library before you consider this question. ”
Baron Redman brushed his sleeves away, leaving Hudson in the spot, crying and laughing.
Heaven and earth conscience, what he said just now was just for disguise. A little calculation of Lysur, that is also a trend.
The relationship was not good, and if this kind of thing happened, if he didn't even fight back, how could he not make people suspicious. After all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Precipitation", "clumsiness", do you need to talk about it? If it weren't for the fear that the change would be too big and attract the attention of people with a heart, he would have been able to survive until he was old.
Ambition, that is built on strength. In two lives, there are not many other advantages, but Hudson has learned.
Goldfinger has been in the account for a long time, and he is an ordinary person with some more memories. In this world of the jungle, how dare you get scared?
If it weren't for the fact that the original owner was a scumbag, what he hated most was reading, and he would have gone to hide books a long time ago. Baron Redman's orders provided him with a perfect excuse.
Walking into the "library building" with vague memories in his mind, Hudson was soon disappointed. The mountains of books that I think of don't appear, just carefully stored parchment rolls.
At one point, Hudson had the idea of making a fortune by making paper, but this unrealistic idea was quickly dispelled.
Not to mention the cumbersome papermaking process, it is not something he can do with a half-understanding at all. The key is that the butt decides the head, and in the aristocratic class, there is a position to consider the problem from the standpoint of the aristocratic group.
The birth of paper can reduce the cost of knowledge dissemination and facilitate the dissemination of cultural knowledge, but is this what the aristocratic group needs?
The answer is obviously: no.
Parchment rolls, which are expensive to make, are not conducive to the dissemination of cultural knowledge is certainly a disadvantage. But on the flip side, it's also an advantage.
From the standpoint of the aristocratic group, knowledge is naturally monopolized by oneself. The higher the cost of disseminating cultural knowledge, the more conducive it is to the maintenance of this monopoly system and the more conducive to the rule of the aristocratic group.
As a person with vested interests, he must not do anything that betrays his own class. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as life.
Picking up a volume of the General History of the Continent, Hudson immediately read it with great interest. It's a pity that most of the above content is vague and brush-off, and a lot of the content is still hearsay.
There is no way, although the Coslow family has been inherited for thousands of years, they are only small nobles after all, and they have no ability to collect information about the entire continent.
Hudson thinks the biggest reason why the family has been passed down to the present is that it can be born. If you look at Baron Redman, you can see that the Coslow family has always had a talent for sowing.
Thanks to the fine tradition of the family, except for the eldest son who inherited the family business, the rest of the sons came of age with a set of knightly equipment and a few squires to go out to work.
The brutal survival mode is the most able to train people. Although most of the clansmen fell on the road of hard work, there were still lucky ones who stood out. or relied on military exploits, or relied on noble marriages to get the title.
Accumulated from generation to generation, the small nobles who bear the banner of the Coslow family are no longer a few, and they are considered to be the most prosperous families in the empire.
A large number of people does not necessarily have great strength, but the survivability of a large number of people must be strong. Even if a certain heir is lost, someone will quickly make up for it, and there will be no tragedy of being forced to take back the fief by the empire because there is no heir.
According to this model, slowly infiltrating all the way, even if there are no particularly outstanding people born, the Coslow family will be able to mix into the top wave sooner or later.
Of course, the premise is that the fertility rate can continue to be so high. Otherwise, in a world where wars often break out, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected. Maybe a war will directly wash away the thousands of years of accumulation.
