Chapter 237 Big Bald Head
For a long time, there have been too many people who want to curry favor with Count Amiste.
Even the royal family had hoped to arrange a marriage for this pretty widow, using her enviable wealth to promote political marriage and allow the counties in the north and south to achieve a benign exchange. However, the Countess, as a substantial lord who had tied all her industries to the industrial and agricultural chariot of Albion, completely and domineeringly declined the good ideas from the central government that benefited the country and the people.
If time goes back a few decades, a lord with the influence of the Countess is a typical Grand Duke, who needs to be appeased to prevent her from rebelling.
Even if it is to be eradicated, it must be considered in the long run.
In this era, facing all the wealth tied to the national economic chain, multiple counties have directly formed a real pattern of an oligarchic alliance. After the centralization of power has declined invisibly, they can only pinch their noses and accept it. As for whether this is an improvement or regression of the system, we can only say...
It depends on productivity.
If production is constantly being liberated and everything is booming, that is progress. There is no eternal system. Slavery is more advanced than primitive tribes, and feudal kingdoms are stronger than slavery. Capitalism can tear apart its feudal kingdom enemies, and in the rotten shell of capital, a ghost will begin to sprout. When the ghost stagnates and degenerates, the dream of the stars that walk out of the cradle is unstoppable.
From the broad perspective of the time scale, there is no backward system, only a system that is standing still.
Everything in motion can maintain vitality.
Moving the perspective away from the vast macroscopic time scale and zooming in on the individual, it is not difficult to find that Lin's movement is cyclical. This does not mean that Lin takes one step at a time. Many people are still standing still after countless whips, just because they have not found the right path.
Xiaoxian has not found the way to light, but his movement is a groping from time to time, without real rest. Based on this point, Lin's possibility has not disappeared.
At this moment, the lights are on, and Lin in the salon is very eye-catching. He is at ease among different people.
The politicians, the civil servants, and the financial tycoons are mainly these three categories. Then there are artists with distinct personalities, factory owners with good reputations, inventors with great potential, people in the education field, and the wives of the old nobles who have been widowed for a long time.
Lin En, who has a very good appearance, was easily accepted by them. Then the young gentleman was able to speak eloquently in various fields, like a versatile new star, and won the amazement and praise of everyone in the salon. They were very surprised that the countess could pick such an excellent boy.
After all, Lin En, a graceful and well-behaved boy, is definitely a template for those wealthy families to cultivate heirs.
If it weren't for knowing that Lin En was discovered by luck.
It is estimated that many people would ambiguously speculate whether Lord Amis is playing a game of cultivation. The excellent boy he raised by himself finally climbed into his bed. This kind of forbidden and incestuous relationship is not uncommon in the corrupt aristocratic life.
After dealing with a wave of enthusiastic ladies, Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
While taking care of Lin En's appearance, the obsessive-compulsive steward dictated to him the names, personalities and hobbies of some of the visitors. Originally, the steward did not expect Mr. Lin En to remember everything. As long as he could remember the important things and appear generous and natural when socializing, it would be good.
As a result, Lin En memorized everything!
Knowing the personality and dislikes, the beautiful boy talked freely and catered to his preferences. He was almost attacking one every three minutes. After a circle of people, Lin En basically raised everyone's favorability to the friendly level. Of course, the help of the countess also played a crucial role.
Amiste almost made it clear.
Although Lin En was suspended, his career would naturally be bright after the [Suppression Bureau] cleared his name.
It just so happened that the [Suppression Bureau]'s intention to expand later was almost public. With the ability of his own young master, there was naturally a lot of room for him. The Countess's statement was echoed by many people. They were originally members of Amiste and could stand together without seriously harming their interests. Naturally, they could also be members of Lin En's party.
Such socializing was no less than a fierce fight for Lin En.
You have to remember everyone's name, personality, likes and dislikes, family background, and then observe their words and expressions. You can't treat the other party as a rigid NPC when talking. This level of quick thinking is a battle for Lin En, and he has performed well so far.
It's just that his brain hurts a little, reminding him not to continue thinking.
"I'm going to take a break."
Lin En needs to relax his brain. From the time he entered the venue until now, his butt has never touched the ground.
"Well, my little sir, the dazzling new star, go ahead." In front of people, the Countess's performance was much more reserved, but the love in her beautiful eyes was still obvious.
Others also gave appropriate praise.
So far, no blind person dares to slap Amiste in the face. As for what others really think in their hearts, the Countess doesn't care.
Lin En left the noisy and luxurious reception room and came to the quiet lawn outside from the brightly lit place. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was just wearing a mask...
Just as Lin En was breathing a sigh of relief, a leg was exposed behind the haystack under the moonlight, and this scene scared him a little.
"Hmm? Sir, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine."
A confused voice came from behind the haystack on the lawn, and then Lin En saw a man sitting up, holding a stack of paper in his hand, which was covered with dense small words.
"Mr. Lin En, why did you come out?" He rubbed his eyes, and his shiny forehead and suffocating hairline reflected the light under the moonlight.
"Come out for a walk and take a rest."
Lin En didn't have any information about this person in his mind, but he did appear briefly when he was introduced just now, as if he was a politician pulled over by a college student. However, he did not promote his political ideas like others, but listened to others' speeches and raised questions for discussion.
The bald man looked casual. He sat up and scratched his head, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
And Lin En picked up a piece of paper from the ground.
It happened to be the beginning.
"On the employment and labor capital of Stim, and the changes in production over the past twenty years, author, Nolius Yuri..." Lin En read it for a while. The opening chapter was very solid, starting with data and talking about wages, which people are most sensitive to.
"It's me."
The bald man from Roman looked at Lin En subconsciously reading carefully, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
ps: I still owe 56 chapters, and I have paid back a lot without realizing it. I am really happy to insist on paying 10,000 a day~ I will start the reward when I have paid almost all of it, and continue the daily charge of 10,000.
