362. Chapter 362: Interests

Yes, yes, take advantage of the nobility, and even the kings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Give money to nobles and royalty, then get shelter and privileges, and then go after more money...... Merchants have been accustomed to this pattern since the Middle Ages.

In the eighteenth century, with the possession of the steam engine, the factory, and the industrial worker, a series of "new" tools, the merchants not only sold but began to organize production on a larger scale. The factory owners appeared.

These alternative merchants, or so-called capitalists, continue this tactic. In their opinion, the army, politics, land, country. Something like that was left to the aristocracy to deal with, while commerce, finance, production. These are left to them. This is a matter of course, maintaining this order.

Of course, at the same time, they are also gathering strength. If the situation allows, they will rise up in the shortest possible time, and then, as a matter of course, take control of the whole country in place of the aristocracy, and use the commercial and financial order to whitewash the so-called people, lords, and republics, and replace the ancient aristocracy, and override all the people. Become the ruling class as a matter of course.

At that time, the pyramid still existed, but it was only the basic standard of measurement, from the level of the knighthood to the amount of money. This way of measuring is more intuitive and convenient. In the aristocratic era, the rank of knighthood did not exactly represent the amount of power. But in the age of gold power, the amount of money is the best way to measure the amount of power.

William knows where the world is going to go. William also understood that the substitution of golden power for aristocracy was the way forward for the world. Perhaps after this there will be more suitable relations of production, a more advanced structure of social organization to replace the politics of money, that is, the so-called capitalism. But at least, in William's pre-life, that indescribable structure of social organization existed only in fantasy, and was never really realized, let alone really succeeded.

So, in order to ensure that his family would continue to prosper for the next 500 years, William had to make a change. William had to jump out of the circle of aristocracy and do his best to move closer to the politics of gold.

To be more specific, William wants to meddle in capital. William was going to get involved in business, and William was going to run the factory. William wants to get involved in another circle without losing his aristocratic status. Be a part of it.

Truth be told, it's a taboo thing.

As an aristocrat, managing the land was a matter of course, and William's previous reforms in land and farming methods did not cause any backlash. Successful agricultural reforms, grain and soybean successes made the Hereford family wealthy. William was rightfully praised for it.

Elite business, however, is different. Meddling in industry is even more "unforgivable".

The aristocratic class believed that William was willing to degenerate, while the merchant class believed that William had robbed them of their jobs and broke their tacit understanding and rules with the aristocratic class.

He was like an apple on a chessboard, bewildering and disgusted.

In this case, even William's father, even William's wife, even William's most loyal subordinates, were puzzled by William's decision.

Of course, with William's prestige and William's means, he can easily suppress these confusions and opposing thoughts. Enforce his policies and strategies. And for the sake of Lenovo, as his strategy continues to succeed in the future, his subordinates and his relatives will also understand him. And if nothing happens, then in the next few hundred years, the descendants of the Hereford family will still be in control, transcendent, and they will worship like a god who brought them all this, their ancestor, that is, William.

It's just that this kind of thinking can't completely comfort William. Ten or twenty years of loneliness and loneliness will make William feel depressed to death. So he very much hopes and longs to have someone who understands him.

He was very fortunate to get someone who understood him.

Unfortunately, this guy's name is Victoria.

Victoria von Normandy. Duchess from the House of Normandy and executive director of the Great Company of Briton. In the hundred years before William, the monster family, which perfectly blended the top nobles and the richest capitalists, is the heir of the current generation.

She rightfully understood William's efforts, and she understood why William did what he did. After all, the current House of Normandy was the ideal state that William hoped to achieve.

The parliamentary monarchy replaced the monarchy with a dictatorship. Integrate aristocratic politics with the politics of gold power. What outsiders see is the nondescript indecency of the Britons and the reconciliation and compromise between the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. But what William saw was a hybrid monster that straddled two different classes.

William didn't want to be with Victoria. William didn't want to say more, even the closest people, William didn't want to say it.

That reason is jealousy.

When William worked hard and overcame obstacles on this road, the Normandy family had basically completed its transformation. Even better than William.

In the House of Lords of the nobility, in the House of Commons of the writing gentleman, read as capital, members of the House of Normandy, servants, allies abounded.

They gained more power through money to control the aristocracy. They used aristocratic authority to gain more power and develop capital. They straddle two realms, they can do anything. They control the entire era. In this era when the old and the new forces are balanced, Normandy, which has two powers at the same time, represents the supreme authority of this world.

At first, when Victoria proudly declared herself to be another Queen of Briton, William didn't really agree.

When communicating with Victoria, when the word is mentioned occasionally. William always carried a touch of arrogance, even sarcasm.

Although in terms of "power" and "power", William recognized Victoria. But subconsciously, William still thinks Victoria is exaggerating.

When he did not properly substitute the concept of "capital", William still unconsciously used the perspective of "aristocracy" to look at the problem, and then unconsciously underestimated Victoria.

The so-called "pride of the nobility" is probably this. Even if the other party's strength is much greater than his own, he looks down on him.

But now, William only felt very ashamed, and even a little embarrassed.

In recent months, in addition to staggering and struggling with the so-called garbage, William has also been thinking. He's sorting out his thoughts. Thinking about the future, the way forward for Russia and the Hereford family.

In the beginning, William felt miserable, depressed, uninspired and overwhelmed. But soon...... To be precise, it was during a conversation with Victoria that William suddenly woke up, and then discovered something that I don't know whether to say bad or happy, that is, what he was striving for, it turned out to be around him.

That is, the Normandy family.

As early as a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Normandy family provided him with such a path. At the same time, the model of today's Normandy family can be used as a reference.

That's it, William found out that Victoria was not lying, and even said that Victoria was too conservative. The House of Normandy, the contemporary heir of the House of Normandy, Victoria von Normandy, is not only another Queen Majesty of the Kingdom of Briton, but also the "King of the World" who led the entire era, standing at the highest peak, with the most powerful power and the best ability to survive.

Victoria is not just arrogant, on the contrary, Victoria is humble enough. On the contrary, William's contempt and ridicule made William look bad.

For a while, William was even a little embarrassed.

But soon, after figuring it out, William began to look at Victoria's attitude, Victoria's behavior, or rather, the behavior of the Normandy family.

They financed William, they financed Russia, they financed the Hereford family. It's not just from the perspective of the Briton Kingdom, but it wants the kingdom to gain an ally of a great army power.

They also wanted to form an alliance between the House of Hereford and the two Normandy families, a strong desire and inclination that grew stronger as William became more and more eager to join industry and commerce as a nobleman and as a prince.

The reason is rightly that the Normandy family needs the Hereford family. Just as the Bretons needed a strong army ally, the Normans looked forward to an ally with equal ferventness.

Of course, they don't need allies for their own interests or anything else. Rather, it is a very "simple" need for allies.

The Normandy family is strong, and the Normandy family is also lonely. As the only family in this world that perfectly blends aristocratic power with gold power, and plays to the limit, it is very lonely. They were called the perfect hybrids of Briton behind the backs of many aristocratic families, and they were abandoned by the nobles. At the same time, it could not be recognized by the capitalists.

While merging the advantages of the two points, the Normandy family also lost all the identity of the two classes, and became a unique, unique, and single monster group.

In this case, the Normandy family can only keep moving forward forever, desperately moving forward. He had to do everything he could to make sure he had enough strength. Because without being trusted, without a "group", without belonging, the Normandy family has nothing to rely on except strength.

Illuminated by the sheer sheer of greatness, power, glory, and uniqueness, there is incomparable fear, utter loneliness, and maddening delusions of victimization. In this case, it is not difficult to understand why the Normandy family would try to support the Hereford family.
