Chapter 211: Nobles of the new age

After leaving the carriage, the fat nobleman did not go to Queen Mary as he said for the first time, but turned around in the magnificent corridor, and finally came to a remote room.
The original main hall has now been provided for the queen to live in, so the owner who once lived here, the mayor of Sacks Town, and the envoy behind the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group, can now only live in the side hall.
But even the "partial hall" still has gorgeous decoration, precious calligraphy and painting, rare beast fur, smooth and shiny marble tiles, and the crystal chandeliers hanging overhead when passing by the corridor, and the bright red wooden doors. The gilt brass door handles... are all made by the first-class designers in the kingdom, they are expensive and full of luxury.
In short, the whole house seems incompatible with the atmosphere of the whole town.
The fat nobleman sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that his friend was too stupid...to be more ugly, he was just a pig.
Building this kind of house is not good in all aspects: the people in the territory will think you are searching for the people and the people to do it. The nobles who visit here privately and the extraordinary people passing by here will think that you are a hillbilly, even very It is possible to be targeted by thieves and even robbers passing by here: build your own house so conspicuously, who do not steal from you, who do not rob you?
The small town of Sachs is located at the junction of Silent Hill and the Earl of Glen. The people who stay and rest here are mixed, far from safe.
and--
Why not invest gold coins in a more meaningful cause?
Hubert was heartbroken.
How many workers can be hired, how many ships can be built, and how many factories can be built for the money spent to build such a house?
For his "new aristocracy", only by continuously investing money in new industries can wealth remain vigorous forever. This is basic common sense. Because money will continue to produce money, and as long as the money is in your pocket, you will always maintain your status with your family.
The times are different.
The old aristocrats who are full of words like "blood" and "honor" may not understand, because they are forever indulged in the glory of the past, occasionally giving birth to a few sober people, but they will be treated as aliens. Expel, even wipe out...
Therefore, they are destined to drown in the rolling tide with the so-called "noble dignity".
This is not lying or exaggerating.
Hubert, who was once a member of the famous family with a long history, but later turned to the Southern aristocracy, is one of the beneficiaries and a bystander from beginning to end, and he knows this more clearly.
Since the southern aristocrats began to form their own fleets and promoted the popularization of alchemy factories in a large amount, and thus grabbed amazing wealth, they were not satisfied, and soon put their ideas on the old aristocrats
For them, the ordinary people don’t have much oil and water to fish, not to mention that they still need to hire people to work for them. At this time, there are a large number of tenant farmers, slaves, and slaves, and they occupy vast land resources. The so-called famous family is undoubtedly the biggest in the eyes of the new aristocracy... "fat sheep".
Hubert has never seen it once. A declining aristocratic family sold their property and fields, and even sold out all the items handed down from the ancestors, just to continue to ensure the luxury life of a drunk gold fan, but never thought of making progress; What's more, they will marry their daughters to wealthy businessmen they once looked down on in exchange for money.
Although there is "aristocratic spirit" on their lips, they have no dignity since they did this kind of thing?
So, who is insulting the spirit passed down in this country by the kings and wise men?
Hubert knows who is right and who can represent the general trend of the future
When the great nautical era officially kicked off, everything has quietly changed.
Of course, the group of guys with above-the-top eyes centered on the royal capital can't all be stupid, they naturally saw the threat of the new aristocracy.
At first no one noticed it, but when the power of the southern aristocracy quickly became larger, they would naturally find that the existence and behavior of this group of people would pose a huge threat to the old system, as well as the existing impact. Consider using political and even military means to suppress.
Naturally, the new aristocrats will not raise their flags to surrender. They are also recruiting troops and secretly exerting influence through the local councils of citizens. The "new army" currently being practiced in the kingdom was established under their active advocacy.
As a result, the dispute between the two parties has become increasingly fierce and intensified.
Hubert is a staunch new nobility. It's just that he didn't expect that he used to know the best friend when he was studying in the royal capital, but he turned to the royal party.
Obviously he was the same as himself at that time. He looked down on the group of guys who valued blood but actually relied on the old and sold the old, looking forward to changing this country one day...
Hubert thought he was still on the road to realize his dreams, but that guy not only failed to become his companion, but was driven away from the center of power and sent to the border. Instead, he is now learning the same as the decadent and backward aristocrats. !
......
He finally came to the door.
"Hubert, what's the situation?"
At this time, his friend was pale, leaning against the door and still shaking slightly.
This person watched the servant next to Mr. Rasputin swing that sword and witnessed the terrifying power caused by him~EbookFREE.me~ and was scared to death.
"The situation is not very good. The two people have already come over, and I can't stop them. The wizard is a group of moody people. Although there is no trouble now, no one knows whether he will suddenly turn his face... you still Pray for yourself."
The more Hubert thought about it, the worse he was, and he said coldly.
As a result, the mayor of Sachs—Mr. George, who was standing in front of him, was shaking more and more intensely, with an expression about to faint.
Seeing the other person's pitiful appearance, although Hubert's expression was serious, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in his heart.
When they were at the Royal Academy, they had a very good relationship.
They were not valued at first, but later when they were students, they unanimously revealed the so-called "rebellious" concept, and their relationship with the family was very stiff.
In a sense, Browning George was the person he valued most.
Hubert sighed and his voice eased.
"...Your Majesty the Queen is about to meet with them. At that time, you will appear as the master again and apologize to them... I think this is what you should do most now."
In any case, he kindly gave advice.
However, what Hubert didn't expect was that after he considered his friend so hard, the other party showed hesitation.
"I am entertaining guests now, so"
"Guest? Who is it? Are you kidding me?!" Hubert roared angrily, "Who else is more worthwhile than the arrival of a dark tower leader"
Before he finished speaking, the corner of his eyes saw a glimmer of golden light. It was young women's long fringed hair, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
