Chapter 493
“I am firmly opposed to confrontation, even though Serveit Talos’ status in the Talos family has been declining in recent years, he is still the son of Talos count, and I don’t think we can gain anything from a conflict with him ……Mr. Adrian, you are an old-fashioned aristocrat in Reinas, of course you have enough bargaining chips, but we businessmen rely on policies to eat. After all, Reinas is the city of Lord Serveit. …”
A middle-aged man with a moustache and a plump figure sat behind the round table, holding a silver cup in his hand full of gemstone rings, a pair of small While talking, his eyes looked around at the people around him, observing their words and expressions.
His this remark made the youngster in the main seat frown, and his expression was slightly unpleasant.
“Yes, Serveit Talos is the son of the duke, but according to the decree in the “Noble Law” of the Ryan Empire: the honorary nobles in the descendants of noble nobles shall not be nobles except hereditary, don’t you? Don’t you know?”
Sipping the wine in the golden goblet, the youngster, the current patriarch of the Adrian family, the frowned Viscount Adrian asked rhetorically.
Noble titles are divided into Grade Five: Duke, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male.
The so-called high lords are three titles of duke, lord, and uncle, because most nobles above the count are feudal lords who control a large area, and the meaning of the whole decree is that if a family Those who already have high titles, such as the father of Serveit Talos is the highest level duke, then his descendants are not allowed to become high dukes.
Otherwise, with the number of descendants of several duke families within the empire, if they use the power of the families to win out a group of marquis and counts, how can Ryan Empire get so many Fiefdoms for them?
You must know that even a hereditary title, according to the rules of the Ryan Empire, must be at a lower Level 1, which means that when the current Duke of Talos abdicates, the successor can only be the Marquis of Talos.
“Servit Talos claimed to be a ghost count, but in fact he was not recognized by Ryan Empire. The real title is Viscount!”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of resentment in Adrian’s eyes, his family had been operating in Renas for an unknown time, and he originally thought that he could succeed him in the patriarch position. Afterwards, he became the actual controller of the city through operation, and as long as he controlled a medium-sized city, as long as he worked hard for a few years, maybe his family could be promoted to the count family.
Who knew that when his plan was just about to succeed, a Serveit Talos was suddenly parachuted to Reinas. The actual title is obviously the same as himself, but he enjoys the count level because he has a duke father. The privilege, completely controlled Renas, not to mention, but also dug up all the forces that originally belonged to him.
It’s just that Adrian is also a smart person. He knows that if he wants to forcibly fight against this Young Master with a golden spoon, the chance of winning is very slim. No matter how much capital there is locally, the opponent’s backing is still not something he can provoke.
So he has been waiting, waiting for the other side’s actions to harm Renas to intensify, until the other side completely arouses public resentment!
It is foreseeable that once there is a public riot, the imperial government will investigate no matter who is the son. When the time comes to protect Serveit Talos, the Talos family will have a great chance of killing him. Go to another city and continue to be the mayor and enjoy the happiness, and the city will naturally fall into your own hands.
He will appear as the savior and become the worthy leader of Renas!
This idea is very good and very feasible. In fact, after several years of waiting, the day he was looking forward to has come.
However, someone thought of the same method as him, and acted faster than him!
At this most critical period, Serveit Talos was attacked.
This is a good thing!
At least in Adrian’s view, it was a great thing. He wished that the guy who grabbed his position was killed on the street, the worse the better.
But it backfired…and it’s going to be fucked into the abyss!
Who would have thought that the jerk, Grandet, the pretentious clown would suddenly come to his senses?
It’s setting the minimum wage and maximum working hours, and spending the money of the families that have been wiped out to build Renas…
” Ser Adrian Court…Ser Adrian!”
The sound from next to him interrupted Adrian’s increasingly impolite dark thoughts, his eyes regained focus, and he scanned the The people around the long table in front of him are all high-profile figures in the upper class of Renas, including the chairman of Chamber of Commerce who runs a large number of shops, as well as capitalists who own several factories, as well as those in the city of Renas. A couple of Barons.
They have a common identity: people who are dissatisfied with what Serveit Talos has done recently
Their life could have been wonderful, and in Renas, With a mayor leading the way, they are more reckless, but none of the new policies recently introduced by Serveit Talos are not hurting them.
“The fact that Serveit Talos implemented these policies without consulting any of us seems to me to be very disrespectful to us, and he squandered the hard work of others to get it. It has to be said that it is a pity to give money to those civilians, but ignore those of us who really support him…”
As the leader of this alliance of interests , Adrian put on a distressed gesture, who didn’t know how much Serveit Talos owed them.
If Donald was here, he would definitely laugh at these guys who cannot tell good from bad. Every policy he proposes is to ensure the normal conduct of business activities. The so-called damaged interests are simply Some things that have been exploited illegally, that is, in Reinas, they are taken for granted as “earnings of legitimate labor”.
“Then what should we do? Mr. Anse is actually right, no matter if Serveit Talos is a viscount or a count, he will always be the mayor of Renas, as long as he is determined to implement the New Deal , we simply cannot interfere at all.”
“Wrong! The impossible interference you mentioned is the inability to interfere at the political level, and our strength is simply not in the government, but in those who have opened up the entire Reina A shop in Sri Lanka, a factory that produces all kinds of important materials!”
Adrian raised his chin, swept his arrogant gaze to everyone around him again, and then said,
“I totally agree with Mr. Ans’s statement that we can’t confront it head-on, but it doesn’t mean that we have no other means. Isn’t Serveit Talos going to engage in urban construction? He wants to rebuild residential areas, then we will sloppy-work, delays, he’s going to set a minimum wage, then we’ll join forces to raise prices…I want all the citizens of Renas to know that Serveit Talos is a total liar!”
“The deepest despair comes from seeing hope and then being completely deprived of it… By then, the people of Renas City will absolutely go crazy!”
There were not many stupid people present, and soon someone understood what Adrian meant.
As soon as he said these words, other people’s thinking seemed to have found a breakthrough. For a while, the quiet Conference Hall seemed to be a bustling city, and people kept expressing their opinions, one by one. Fazi kept jumping out of the mouths of these guys who were already full of bad water.
Watching this scene, Adrien slowly showed a gloomy smile on his face, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.
After tonight, they will be the driving force behind the scenes, and it will only be the people at the bottom of the society who will really fight against Serveit Talos.
Sevit Talos, are you ready for the wrath of the people?
