v2 Chapter 19 - Bevin\\\'s mind
In a country where kingship is paramount, aristocracy always has some incredible privileges.
For example, in the middle of the main road of Laiyan City, there is a jade road surrounded by a small stone pier. There are few vehicles above it and it looks very empty. But no matter how crowded the surrounding lanes were, no car was seen on this open road. This is the noble lane.
The so-called noble lane, as the name implies, is the path that noble carriages can take. This is a road built by nobles to show their special status and prevent luxury carriages from being scraped.
If a civilian car comes up and gets caught, it will face fines, car detention and detention.
At this time, a carriage marked with the golden lion head logo was driving on the aristocratic lane unhurriedly. This sign is known to most people in Laiyan City, because it is the national emblem of the Count Robert’s family.
Bevin, who had exited early from Vinson’s party, was sitting inside, at this time he was holding a cup of thick tea with hot water, and his face was slightly reddish after the heat. Although he didn’t stay long at the party, he was really revered a lot.
Although a little dazed, Bevin is still in a good mood. He is very satisfied with the results of today’s party.
当然 Of course he could not pass by the manor by the way, and those aristocrats present would not think so. They only thought that the Robert family and the Delk family were close enough.
这 And this is exactly the effect that Bevin wants, he is optimistic about the strength and potential of the Delk family, especially in the case of another magician.
Vincent is nothing but a puppet in Bevin’s eyes, but now this puppet has good luck, and he is likely to marry a magician. In this case, this puppet has value. So today he used Vinson as a breakthrough to release goodwill to the Delk family.
Naturally, the Derek family will not reject the olive branch thrown by the city’s second son. This is a win-win situation.
“Beyond success …” Bevin sipped his tea and thought pleasantly.
There is no secret among the aristocracy. Those young people who eat, drink, and have fun know the news of expanding the dock. How could Bevin not know.
In fact, he was one of the first people in Laiyan City to know the news.
He clearly remembers that afternoon, his father, Earl Robert, called him to the study, handed him the official document about the expansion of the dock, and patted him on the shoulder.
“You have done very well these years, and have achieved a lot of achievements, much better than your waste brother … but to be a city owner, this capital is not enough. I will step down, and I only have suggestions for the next city owner. The decisive key is the votes of all the nobles in Laiyan City. “
“Your capital is not enough, but now it is an opportunity to expand the dock. I said to the elders in the family. If you can get results on this, you will win the benefit and glory for the Robert family. The family will fully support you to board The position of the Lord of the City … “
Bei Beiwen is thirty years old this year, when he has a strong desire for power, he certainly does not want to miss this opportunity. So since he knew the news, he has been secretly preparing.
The nominal ownership of the wharf is of course Bran. Laiyan City also pays taxes to King Bran’s room every year according to the number of wharves.
But as Josiah said, there are more than 50 tax items in the kingdom, and there are nearly 100 tax items in Laiyan City. The difference in benefits is amazing. When put on the dock, the benefits are even greater.
The Laiyan City Noble Circle takes the default approach to the ownership of the terminal. As long as you show enough strength to outperform all competitors, you can own the terminal after confirmation from the Laiyancheng Government Council.
The Robert family is one of the four earl families in Laiyan City. But this is not the goal of Bevin. He must defeat the other three Earl families to prove his ability to the family.
But the four major families have struggled for so many years, and they have known each other for a long time. But Bevin’s mind is indeed alive. Since there is no help inside, look away.
Bei Beiwen knew very well that it would be useless to have any prestige and friendship to get the support of other nobles. They must be tied to their own boat with practical benefits.
Where does the benefit come from? That can only be 24 new docks. Bevin’s idea is to win most of the docks along with other middle-class nobles, so that not only can be distributed to followers, he will also get more. And with the implication of these interests, these nobles will become the help of their families. Such results will surely satisfy the family!
His busyness these days has begun to bear fruit, and he has already talked about a few nobles like the Delk family. Although there is a relationship of family influence, most of the credit lies in his means of control.
“How nice it would be if I were the eldest son in the family …” Bevin thought, pressing his temples, frowning. This is also a question that he often thinks after understanding.
Yes, the **** nobleman elder son inheritance system. It is because of this system that the old people in the clan have been treating him swiftly …
As for the big brother who draws some weird portraits all day? Although he has been good to him since he was a child, Bevin is still disdainful of this big brother. In his opinion, his elder brother is a typical unscrupulous and dejected.
Bei Beiwen took a deep breath, obsessively looked at the golden lion emblem on the carriage and said silently: “I will prove to you that I am the most suitable heir of the Robert family!”
Uh …
Just outside Bevin, the door was knocked gently,
“Come in!”
“Master Bevin!” A steward who walked in came in.
“Well, it’s Gray, sit down.” Bevin nodded, this housekeeper is no stranger to him, this is the old man who has been around since he was a child, and helped him take care of most things.
“Just got the news, the leader of the Blue Wolf Gang was assassinated.”
“Blue Wolf Gang? Oh, the gang supported by the Black Family. Haha, kill well! Do you know who killed it?”
The Black Family is one of the four Earl’s families in Laiyan City, which controls almost half of Laiyan City’s commercial trade. Earl Black is also the chief financial officer of Laiyan City.
Gray: “It’s a ghost!”
Beiwen raised her eyebrows: “Oh, this ghost face again. Wasn’t the Iron Blade president supported by the Oston family killed by him last time?”
The Auston family is also the Earl’s family in Laiyan City. This family was formerly a pirate. Later, when the first generation of Kings of Bran State established the country, UU read the book www.uukanshu. Com, they worked hard, and eventually they were counted. Now relying on the Rhine River, smuggling, black markets, and human trafficking are simply being done. Count Allston himself was the Deputy City Owner of Laiyan City.
“Yes.”
“Haha, if I can’t find this ghost face, I really want to have a drink with him as a token of gratitude.” Bevin held a tea cup and laughed.
“Oh, who said no.”
Click, click …
As the two talked about the ghost face with enthusiasm, a sudden sound of horseshoes rolled over, and the sound of scolding and screaming continued.
Bevin frowned.
Butler Grey opened the curtain slightly and said, “It’s the cavalry of the police.”
Beiwen: “The Cavalry? So hurry to rush … what happened?”
“Wait a moment, Master.”
I finished talking. Gray got off and sent a cavalry to question. For a moment, Gray walked into the carriage with a strange expression.
“The ghost face has killed again.”
“Oh, which unlucky ghost this time? It won’t be the Matthews, haha …”
Matthews family, one of the four earl families of Laiyan City. This family runs smithy and weapon shop, warrior’s sword, magician’s wand and other combat equipment are all their items. Earl Matthews himself was the sheriff of Laiyan City, responsible for security in the city.
“It’s Vinson.”
“Vinson … Where Vinson?” Bevin was a little hesitant, and at that moment he thought he might have some hearing problems.
“Delker’s …”
boom!
Bei Beiwen’s delicate tea cup instantly turned into shingles.
