The "lucky one," who called himself Robinson, left, without alerting the guards outside.

The spoon-like hands and compass were placed together, and Joyce fiddled with them for a long time, then carefully hid them to prevent the other from scoring twice.

The time agreed by the two is next Monday, and the reason why it takes a few days to buffer, the other party also directly confessed the reason, saying that it was necessary to make some preparations in advance.

Monster path, know a lot of occult knowledge, can't you be a member of the "school of life"?

Hehe, he's probably going to think I'm a member of the "Witch Sect...... Joyce guessed amusefully.

…………

The morning sun rises slowly, and the harsh sunlight lifts the light veil mist.

On Friday, Joyce received an invitation to a dinner party from Charlie.

This surprised him, after all, with Charlie's character, if he really had something urgent to find him, he would come to visit him directly, and if it was just entertainment, the address on the invitation was wrong......

This was not Charlie's residence, but the residence of his father, Mr. Planck, a former rear admiral and current senior government official at Rorsted.

With doubts, Joyce was invited.

As soon as he entered the door, Charlie took the initiative to greet him and gave him a warm hug.

"Why didn't I see the other guests, did I come too early?" Joyce asked with a smile.

Charlie pulled him into the hall, explaining as he went:

"Today is a family dinner, and only you have been invited."

"Also, the person who wants to invite you is not me, but my father, but he has some urgent business to deal with, so I was asked to go out to greet him."

Mr. Planck, we don't have much to do with each other, why did he invite me...... Joyce's raised right foot paused briefly in mid-air, and then stepped into the spacious and bright hall with a calm demeanor.

After sitting down, Charlie's face had a joy that could not be concealed, and he said in a brisk tone:

"I didn't expect you to do such a big thing, you really deserve to be my brother!"

Is there any necessary connection between the two...... Joyce asked amusedly, "What did I do to surprise you so much?" ”

"Major General Bright, of course!"

Charlie whispered, then drew nearer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"You're really happy to do this."

Joyce glanced at him, not surprised that Charlie knew the inside story:

"Mr. Planck is still developing your ability to handle official business?"

"Well, that's right."

Charlie replied in the affirmative, but instead of the previous depressed mood, there was a kind of accustomed calmness.

He leaned back in his comfortable chair and sighed, "I find it interesting to deal with official business, and I can learn a lot of secrets, but it feels uncomfortable to keep these secrets." ”

In addition to his own family, Charlie is one of the only two friends he has since crossed...... Seeing him make the current change, I am inexplicably as relieved that the "dog roommate" in my previous life has found a girlfriend......

Joyce said sincerely: "When you have half of Mr. Planck's Qi cultivation skills, he will be completely at ease with you." ”

"Well said."

A calm voice came from behind him, and Mr. Planck, dressed in civilian clothes, went up to the two of them, and said to Charlie:

"When will you become Baron Best, I will be satisfied."

Then he turned his gaze back to Joyce and praised, "Well done." ”

"You've won the prize, Mr. Planck." Joyce hurriedly said modestly...... Suddenly I felt like I was "someone else's child".

…………

The atmosphere at the table was quite relaxed and lively, and Planck was like a gentle elder, and he was very kind to Joyce, which was very different from the usual blandness.

After clinking glasses, unintentionally or intentionally, he suddenly brought up the situation in Rune's country.

"Since His Majesty the King allowed commoners to receive knighthoods by donating gold pounds, although the kingdom's economy has improved, Beckland has also produced a number of new nobles."

"As this power grew, they began to make their own demands, and even demanded the status of a permanent member of the House of Lords, as a nobleman...... It's been a lot of trouble lately! ”

What does this have to do with me, although my barony has also been acquired for a short time, I don't covet the status of a councillor at all...... Joyce sneered, noticing Mr. Planck's plausible scrutiny, and then pretended to think for a moment before commenting:

"Most of these people who can get the title of nobility with gold pounds are the top merchants in the kingdom, they have a lot of wealth and capital in their hands, and now they have obtained the improvement of their social status, and they will definitely pursue higher interests, which is the profit-seeking nature of people and cannot be avoided."

"As far as I know, many noble families that have been passed down from generation to generation have gradually declined, and there is even only one title left......"

Joyce has a lot to say because his Best family is one of them.

"As the old aristocracy becomes weaker, the new classes that are wealthy and can really influence the situation will naturally come to power, use the money and interests in their hands to differentiate and corrupt the original aristocratic class in order to achieve their own demands."

If Joyce were allowed to really govern a country, there was a high probability that it would perish, but when it came to the ability to talk rhetorically, he could say that he could go on for a whole day...... After all, the Das Kapital that I have turned over and the Ma Zhe class that I have taken are still vivid.

He pulled out a lot of specious theories and evidence, and finally came to the conclusion:

"Their demands may be satisfied, but these new nobles who rely on money will never be able to pay attention to the glory of true nobles."

As a traditional aristocrat, Planck was very satisfied when he heard this last sentence, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Joyce.

"You are right, the status of nobility cannot be measured by money, the glory above our heads comes from our ancestors, through war, through struggle...... It's not that those speculative businessmen can compare with spending hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gold pounds! ”

Listening to this calm and powerful announcement, Joyce was excited on the surface, but in fact complained in his heart: If you give me a million gold pounds, this baron status is not fine, anyway, it will be more and more worthless......

After expressing his dissatisfaction with the situation at home, Planck regained his composure and continued:

"However, you are right in your guess, the opposition to these merchants' demands is slowly waning in the House of Lords, and it is believed that it will not be long before His Majesty the King approves this unreasonable demand."

This is exactly what George III wanted, to abandon the old rules and build a new order...... This is the general trend of history, and there is no way to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Joyce suddenly gave birth to a passion for opening up the world and daring to change the sun and the moon into a new sky, which is probably the instinct of the big foodie empire who has learned "dragon slaying" since childhood...... However, there are gods in this world, and he quickly put away his whimsical thoughts.
