Vol 3 Chapter 328: Ballots and conditions

"Owner, everything is here. Check it out for any losses."
"No, no. Oh, this is the deposit, I'll give it back to you. Well, how's it going? How do you feel?"
"Okay, there are some customers."
"That's good, that's good, haha ​​..."
At noon, the fat shop owner regained his pub, and after a few chats respectfully sent the two in front of the door.
The aristocratic thought is really inconceivable ... Watching the two disappear at the corner of the street, the fat shop owner sighed, a little envious taste in his words.
In fact, during the middle of the trip, he came back once and didn't approach. He looked at it from a distance. I saw a dozen luxury carriages parked in front of his humble pub, surrounded by many brightly guarded knights. In this way, the identity of the two men was naturally classified by him as a noble.
...
Along the street, Down and Josiah walked side by side in the crowd.
"Huh ..." Changshu breathed a sigh of relief, and Josiah held up his hands, made the pressure to do his best, and pursed his lips. "Really, I quarreled all morning, but didn't meet a condition."
"One time you can determine the success or failure, that is kidnapping and extortion." Tang En's indifferent staller, "At least, have you let that pesky old man out?"
Josiah smiled at the words and said with a narrow smile: "Oh ... I still have something to say about this. Well, my heart is instantly balanced. Ha!"
They were talking about the situation after the morning negotiations. When Simpson left, he kicked himself on the threshold and rolled very shamefully. Such an age. It's inevitable that the blood has been sitting for so long. Of course, Josiah's credit will not be small. It was because of her heart-warming remarks that Simpson's mood was ups and downs, and her anger was rushing to the top. The old face was always congested. The combination of the two eventually led to this "tragedy".
It can be imagined that such shame will inevitably spread in the aristocratic circle. At that time, the statement is likely to become Simpson's mute and refuted in the negotiations, and finally lost his footing ... Maybe it was the situation that came to mind. The Simpson rolled his eyes after the fall, and fainted directly. It caused confusion again, and almost let both sides do it.
"By the way, wouldn't Simpson die like this?" After the gloat, Josiah turned to ask.
"A little sympathy?"
"After all, it's the old man ... Well, and if he really died because of this. We're afraid this negotiation can't proceed."
"Ha, it really is the most poisonous woman's heart ... Rest assured, it should not die."
"Well? How do you know?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang En said, "I was back then, there was someone ... well, that Alex was next to me. I heard him muttering and pretend to be dizzy or something, look, experienced , It won't be so easy to hang up. "
"This way ..." He shook his fist, "Well. Then I will continue to work hard to make him faint again."
Poker face. "come on! Come on……"
...
...
In the afternoon, a luxury hotel in the center of Shanxi City.
This is where the aristocratic negotiating group lived in Shanxi City. The reason why the aristocratic negotiators did not live in Dongcheng District, where the nobles were so kind, was of course for the convenience and confidentiality of negotiations. But even so, as their identity, the hotel was enclosed by the whole house, surrounded by guards.
At this moment, in front of the hotel, a middle-aged nobleman was sending out a white-bearded doctor. Then he smiled and shook his head, walked back to the empty pub hall, as if remembering something, he walked around and said to the counter: "Cooking bowl of tonic soup to room 1."
"Yes!"
Step through the elegant courtyard and into the attic. Immediately walked past Room 1, stopped in front of Room 9 at the end of the corridor, looked around and pushed the door forward.
"Sir Simpson is okay, haha, I am beginning to believe what Alex said ... Isn't this old maggot pretending?"
The old maggot is a kind of scornful name of the traditional aristocracy by the new aristocracy. On the contrary, in the mouth of traditional nobles, the new nobles are upstarts. (Mentioned before)
"Although I prefer him to stay in bed, but ... it doesn't matter much to us, does it?"
The speaker was Ronald, this was his room. But now a lot of people have gathered here, except for Philip, basically all the new noble members of the negotiating group have arrived.
Ronald looked around and said, "Well, while those people are visiting Simpson, let's discuss what to do?"
For a moment, the middle-aged aristocrat said, "I have received some information from the Northern Armed Forces these days. The strength of the Gray Army is not low, and what is more horrifying is its speed of expansion. I think they The conditions of the new noble allies have been fully met. "
This is almost nonsense, but the conference, it always takes some nonsense to elicit the next topic.
Sure enough, a younger aristocrat stood up and said, "But the key is how can we reach a cooperation agreement with the Gray Army? You have heard the terms of the other party today. Although the old maggots have been refuting, but we ... ... well, never agree. "
Silently, the nobles present nodded silently.
The determines the brain, which is the principle that can be used everywhere.
The new nobles are also nobles and vested interests. To put it bluntly, they just want to grab more rights and a greater right to speak from the traditional aristocracy. However, some of the conditions proposed by Josiah today have fundamentally moved the lifeblood of the aristocracy. As for what Josiah said was also good for the empire, and so on, they didn't know it, but their position had determined that they must not do so. If you did, then what Simpson said today is not really intimidating. "... You dare to agree to this condition, I promise you will die ugly!"
Still quiet, Ronald said: "It's impossible that they don't know ... it should only be a negotiation strategy. The land cannot move, but conditions such as allowing civilian children to enter the college are still possible."
"Well. I think so."
"That's true! But this is also very difficult. Take the case of civilian children entering the college ... Well. Let me be straightforward. We and civilians are two levels. If we let Our son-in-law is mixed with the civilian children. When they grow up, will they no longer respect or fear us anymore? "
This aristocracy is indeed straightforward, but the truth is that. In addition to the beauty of distance, mysterious prestige! Usually the aristocracy is high. Civilians can't reach it, they will naturally guess, and the unknown is always frightening. But if they live together, these civilian children will find that the aristocracy is just like that, similar to us, and even in some fields, we haven't learned well yet. That's it. That layer of mystery will naturally disappear.
"This is a problem, but it can be solved!" Ronald seemed to have considered a lot during the negotiations, and said directly, "We can build another college that specializes in civilian children. In this way, this problem does not exist. "
"Good idea. I agree!"
"I agree ... Sir Ronald is indeed the backbone of my new nobility!"
"That's right, that's it ..."
...
When he waved his hand, Ronald seemed very calm, but he was naturally praised, with his mouth rising. Then he said, "We can do the same for some other insensitive conditions. The way to deal with them can always be figured out. Now the key is ..."
After a pause, like organizing the language, he immediately said, "Don't forget, His Royal Highness is still waiting for our news. We must now let the other party accept the three votes of parliamentary resolutions ... I don't think the other party will refuse , Because they also have the conditions for civilians to participate in the regime. But how to make the other side accept the conditions that come from it ... disband the army? "
Three votes of parliamentary decision power, this is what the new nobles want. If there is a dispute over empire-size matters, then Parliament will need to vote. But traditional nobles have natural advantages. They account for the vast majority of parliamentary seats. The result of this vote will naturally not be beneficial to the new noble group. After years of hard work, the new aristocracy has made little progress. Now, seeing the strength of the Gray Army, coupled with this great opportunity, naturally it will not be missed.
Once the two sides can cooperate successfully, the number of votes of the Grey Army is naturally equivalent to that of the new aristocracy, which undoubtedly aggravates their right to speak. Of course, there is a premise for these bright prospects, that is, the Grey Army agreed to dissolve the army.
"That's their root. It's too difficult ... I can't think of a way."
"Yes, and to put it bluntly, they may not fully believe us ... they dare not disband the army at all."
"Have Your Highness said that this idea can be compromised?"
"Difficult, this is His Highness's bargaining chip for the three votes of parliamentary resolutions. If compromised, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Highness."
"You!" Ronald pinched the bridge of his nose as he looked at the nobles who kept shaking their heads. "Anyway, we must always try first, at least we need to know where their bottom line is?"
"That's true." The middle-aged noble nodded before. "It's impossible to think about it once, and at least we have to talk about some results to report to His Royal Highness, and let the people over there discuss again. Countermeasures. "
"Well, that's it ... but these old maggots are staring too closely. How should we communicate with each other?"
"There will always be a way, they won't stay away."
"It's really hard to say ..."
This is indeed a problem. Of course, it is impossible for the traditional aristocracy to let the new aristocracy reach such cooperation with the Gray Army, so it will certainly be strictly guarded next.
After a few moments of discussion, the younger nobleman narrowed his eyes and raised his head and said, "I have an idea. Well, how about letting Philip come forward? His freedom of movement is unobtrusive ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and he is gray Yi Jun seems to have a relationship. "
"Uh ... yes! How do you say that Philip is also ours ..."
"It's a good idea. But then, is he reliable?"
"Well ... well, this is a problem."
"Ugh……"
Everyone was entangled, and letting Philip communicate is undoubtedly the best way. But honestly, they really can't believe Philip ...
In the end, Ronald stood up and clapped: "No matter what, try it! Let him convey some information first, and if feasible, we will pin our hopes on him."
"It can only be so ..."
"The of light bless ..."
