Blackstone Code

After coming up from the well, these people left with a large number of photos.

This scene happened in many places related to Yuanrong Capital, especially gold mines. Almost every gold mine they mentioned had people coming to explore it.

No one knows what these people are here for, and they will soon forget about it and never talk about it again, just like they will not talk about the inexplicable operations of the previous mine buyers at this time.

At noon the next day, Lynch got the call.

"Mr. Lynch, we have sent people to see the several gold mines you gave us. Except for one that is still being mined, the other six gold mines have all stopped and there is no sign of continued mining."

"And we have received some information from the local area, including some briefings on transactions and shutdowns at these gold mines."

"Everything will be delivered to Gefra by next week at the latest."

Lynch had a lot of smile on his face when he heard this, "Thank you, Major. If you have any further news, let me know. Also, I wish you a happy holiday."

Major is a nickname and a code name. He is the first army colonel recruited by Lynch and has rich combat experience.

Lynch had some speculations about the major's identity. In addition to his apparent identity, his discharge should have been deliberately arranged by the military.

Lynch recruited a large number of veterans in Sabine City and even the entire York State. It was impossible not to alarm the top federal officials and many security agencies.

From the outbreak of the federal financial tsunami to the present, many veterans have joined gangs for various reasons.

If these veterans who have developed professional military skills are not managed, they will definitely be a big trouble. What's more, Lynch has recruited so many people at once, and he will definitely have to put some people in.

But even if he had this suspicion, he didn't have anything to be wary of the major. Instead, he mostly relied on him. On the one hand, he wanted to reassure the security department and federal senior officials about Blackstone's safety. Secondly, he just used the power of the military and security department to protect himself. doing something.

If the major wants to occupy a more important position in Blackstone Security, he must make sacrifices, and those behind him must use their own strength to help him complete the tasks assigned by Lynch.

This is a good thing.

Anyway, Lynch didn't intend to do anything bad, so he accepted these lurkers.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the sergeant and said, "Arrange someone to keep an eye on Richard..."

In the following days, the stock price of Yuan Rong Capital continued to rise, and Richard's high-profile celebration also had a positive impact, completely stimulating the enthusiasm of investors.

Yuanrong Capital's performance in the market is very healthy, with a slightly low turnover rate, but the price rises very quickly, and those who are selling are quickly bought. Some analysts believe that by the end of the year, Yuanrong Capital's fourth After the quarterly earnings report comes out, their stocks may have a bigger rise.

Some stock experts have already shouted out the sky-high price of "fifteen yuan". They conveyed a view to the public through various examples that this stock must rise to at least fifteen yuan, and it cannot be less than one cent.

It was on days like this that Lynch was sealed.

The canonization ceremony was held at the Royal Hunting Garden. This was the first time Lin Qi participated in such a ceremony, and he found it very novel.

The guards of the palace stood on both sides of the road. The ground was covered with a red carpet. Some wheat ears and pumpkin vines were scattered on the edge of the red carpet. Various harvested crops were neatly stacked around to symbolize the beauty of the harvest.

As the royal band began to play music, some complicated ceremonies began. The prime minister read out the merits of some people and asked the emperor to canonize them.

Then the emperor had to "discuss" with the ministers, which seemed as interesting as a drama.

In the end, the emperor agreed to the prime minister's request and was willing to canonize the people on the list as imperial nobles.

A total of three people have been conferred this year. One is Lynch, baron, non-hereditary. After he is finished, his son will have no title to inherit.

One of the other two was a baron and the other an earl.

One of these two people inherited the family title at a reduced level, and the other inherited the hereditary title. They are both "old nobles".

The three of them were dressed appropriately and stood at one end of the red carpet waiting for the call. As the ceremony progressed, the music played by the royal band became more exciting. Under the guidance of the palace personnel, the three of them stepped onto the red carpet.

To be honest, this experience was very strange. Lynch noticed that not only the local TV stations in Gefra were reporting around him, but also the federal TV stations were filming.

It is indeed a novel thing for a federalist to be canonized by the Gefra Empire.

The red carpet was not long. When they reached the end, the three of them stopped about thirty meters away from the emperor.

The first hereditary earl was the first to step forward. He had inherited the hereditary title of his family. He was very excited. Since the reform of the aristocratic system, there were very few hereditary nobles left.

The newly canonized nobles of the empire all inherit at a reduced level or do not inherit. This also indicates that the competition for the title of the hereditary nobles is terrible, and the heirs within the family will fight for this title.

After the Grand Steward of the Royal Family read out a letter written by the grandfather of the young earl (nearly forty years old) and read out the honors of the family to which he belonged, the emperor began the canonization process.

It was basically the same as what Lynch knew before. The young man knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, accepted the "King's Sword" and was ordained. Then the emperor gave him a bag of seeds, a bag of gold coins and a sword.

These three things represented "harvest", "wealth" and "force" respectively. Then the emperor returned to his position. The young earl stood up and put on his sword, holding seeds and gold coins in both hands. With the help of the chief steward The final rites were completed.

That is, some bits and pieces and ribbons that represent noble status. He is already qualified to use these things, which looks quite festive.

Then there is the Viscount in front of Lynch. The whole process is almost the same, except that his ribbon is just a ribbon with nothing on it.

He had no scraps to show for his own and his family's achievements.

Finally, there’s Lynch.

He knelt on the ground like the two people before him. The emperor drew out his sword and tapped Lin Qi's shoulders on both sides. He muttered words, which were probably praises and good wishes for Lin Qi's loyalty and bravery, and Some precepts to be followed.

Finally, he took out a bag of seeds and said, "I give you the joy of a good harvest so that you and your people can be full..."

He took out another bag of gold coins and said, "I give you shining gold coins in the hope that you and your people will stay away from poverty..."

Finally, he took out Lynch's sword, "I will give you a sharp sword to kill the enemy in order to defend the glory of the empire..."

When His Majesty the Emperor said these last words, his expression was a little weird. From his standpoint, Lin Qi was actually one of the enemy bandits, or at least a "little enemy bandit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Lynch stood up and gave in again.

In fact, according to the ancient canonization process, the ceremony of drawing a map was missing. Lynch wanted to draw a territory, but since the empire was restructured, it was no longer actually sealed.

Even the previously sealed fiefs have all been taken back, so this item is simply omitted.

The chief steward put a nice-looking ribbon on Lynch's head, but the only flaw was that it was bare.

The three imperial nobles were canonized, and the ceremony was successfully completed. The whole ceremony was not long, but it gave people a very strange feeling.

You can feel that in today's developed world, this kind of ceremony is actually very earthy, but it also makes people feel high-class. This is a very contradictory situation.

After the ceremony here, there was a noble dance, a dance held to celebrate the birth of a new noble in the empire.

Those old nobles can recruit new nobles through marriage. Of course, new nobles can also take the initiative to express themselves to the old nobles and seek asylum.

The aristocratic group is the most important part of Gaevra's aristocratic culture. Whether in the past period of lords' melee or now, the aristocratic group has always existed and will always exist.

"You look very handsome!" Just after changing clothes, as soon as Lynch entered the dance scene, Genia took the initiative to come over.

She held Lynch's arm and whispered a joke in his ear, "I heard that several girls are planning to target you, which makes me very stressed."

Lynch said with a smile, "The gazes of those men almost burned me to death, so I felt even more stressed."

He paused as he spoke, let go of his hand, stood in front of Genia and stretched out his hand, "Am I lucky enough to invite you to the first dance today?"

Genia raised her neck like a proud white swan, "Of course!"

The two danced to the melodious music, and Lynch asked softly, "Have you bought Yuanrong's stocks?"

Genia nodded, "My financial advisor suggested that I buy some. I bought about three million yuan. What's wrong?"

Lin Qi was a little surprised, but it was reasonable.

The empire's financial advisors are much better than the federal financial advisors. These people have their own personal connections. Many of their personal connections are financial advisors to other nobles, which also gives them an advantage.

Once any good news comes out, it will be quickly shared with every noble. Richard seems to have taken the path of a noble this time.

"Nothing, there's something weird about this stock."

The two of them were swaying slowly on the dance floor. Lynch's hands were around Genia's waist, and he could feel her smooth and tender skin under the thin silk fabric.

It’s hard to imagine that someone in their thirties can still take good care of themselves. This is the benefit of having money and power.

"You're not wearing any underwear?"

Genia chuckled twice, "I have a surprise for you!"

Getting close to Lin Qi was indeed just a task given to her by the emperor at the beginning, but facing such an outstanding person, even if it was a task, it was a sweet task, and it was normal to fall into it.

She sighed a little, sighing that Lynch was too young and sighing that she was too old.

Sigh Lynch is from the Federation, and she is not only a Gefra, but also the Emperor's sister.

They were not destined to be a couple, which made her a little unhappy.

What she does now is to be unbridled and happy when she has the chance.
