Blackstone Code

When Lin Qi came out of the palace, he had a victorious smile on his face, and the little nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

"Things were completed perfectly. His Majesty the Emperor agreed to our plan and agreed to let the governor and all levels of government cooperate with our plan..."

Before anyone else could ask, Lin Qi took the initiative to tell the results of this meeting with His Majesty the Emperor.

The Emperor approved his plans, much to the relief of everyone around him, and their money was saved.

Although the money will be spent in various ways in a short period of time, at least the money is still in their hands, it just changes its form and continues to accompany them, and has not left them.

This is the best result. You must know that when they first heard that the Prime Minister was going to take action on them, many people already showed desperate looks.

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be better at this point, and they looked at Lin Qi with more or less admiration in their eyes.

Not everyone can do this, at least if they touch their conscience and ask themselves, they can't do this.

Everyone's mood suddenly relaxed, and smiles returned to people's faces. Lynch said a few other related things, including the small requests he made...cooperation from governments at all levels.

Lin Qi gave His Majesty the Emperor what he wanted most, so naturally His Majesty the Emperor had to be sensible and give Lynch what he wanted. This is politics, compromise, and transaction.

Politics is never necessarily harsh or bright and positive, and it often appears to be less sacred than people imagine.

With the cooperation of the governor and the governments at all levels of the province of Amelia, Lynch's "city dual core" can be implemented more smoothly.

"Then... when will we go to Amelia?" The little earl was looking forward to it. Compared to others, he might still be a little nervous, but he was only excited.

This is the first time that he has left Gevra for other countries. In fact, according to some of Gevra's statements, the young earl has not yet reached adulthood.

In Gefra, people are only considered adults when they are twenty years old. The "travel" of nobles is often held after they reach adulthood. What the nobles need to do before reaching adulthood is to study.

The young earl was an exception. The old earl's sudden death forced him to inherit the title in advance. At the same time, he was far away from the life he should have at his age.

Rarely, he would show the look that a young man should have like now, the look that is full of curiosity about the outside world and full of expectations for an "adventure" that is about to unfold.

Those things that had been suppressed came out a little bit, which made people feel a little emotional.

Lynch looked at his watch, which had a calendar window on it, "We have one last transaction to make before the end of the month."

The last transaction was about the fight between the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor over financial power. Although Lynch knew the outcome, he might not necessarily surrender to the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister probably knows that he has already won, so it doesn't make much sense to surrender to the past at this time. Moreover, people like Lynch do not have enough weight, and the Prime Minister will not pay attention to them.

On the contrary, it is more appropriate to side with His Majesty the Emperor at this time, as long as these small nobles listen to Lynch and follow the plan arranged by Lynch for them to develop in Amelia Province from now on.

Even if the Prime Minister was dissatisfied with their surrender to the emperor, there was nothing much he could do to them.

Here I have to mention the governor. The governor's position is not the same as that of the governor. The governor can be regarded as a rare aristocratic official who has the characteristics of the old era and remains in the new era.

The governor not only controls the administrative, financial, and military affairs of the province of Amelia, they are also firmly in his hands.

He is just like the lords of the past, possessing almost absolute power in his territory!

No matter how dissatisfied the Prime Minister is with Lynch and the others, he cannot interfere with the Governor's decision. And the Governor has a certain relationship with the royal family. He must be on the side of the Emperor. Therefore, as long as they reach the province of Amelia, the Prime Minister can't do anything to them. .

So why not join His Majesty the Emperor at this time? The province of Amelia will inevitably become the home of the royal family in the future. Lynch likes this kind of "open book betting" game the most.

He has already seen the outcome, and there is no chance of losing the bet at this time!

As a result of Lynch's conversation with the emperor, the minor nobles felt at ease. In the following days, they appeared in the Privy Council on time every day, watching the Privy Council as lively as a market in the lower city.

Of course, some other things also happened during this period. For example, the secret police arrested a large group of opportunists who were bewitched by some hostile foreign forces. These speculators cooperated with some... forces, causing the domestic financial market to collapse. There was serious unrest.

In order to establish the seriousness of the law and protect the dignity of the empire, the Supreme Court of the Empire conducted the final trial against these opportunists.

All their earnings from this speculation were confiscated and fined from two to ten times!

In addition to losing a fortune that could bankrupt them, they also faced consequences ranging from execution to lengthy prison terms.

Generally speaking, the anger of the people has been greatly alleviated, and some of the imperial government's disposal methods have shown results, and social order has basically been fully restored.

These were actually minor matters to the nobles. The only thing that surprised them was that Lynch and his gang were not arrested and sentenced.

At that time, the Prime Minister made it very clear in the Ruler's Hall, and even called Lynch's name. Unexpectedly, they escaped in the end.

It's a pity that there is no good show to watch.

The nobles are very united, which is a manifestation to the outside world.

Within the nobles, they are not so united with each other, and there may even be fights and conflicts. They are also very interested in watching the lively things of other nobles.

Apart from these minor matters, everyone's attention was on the Privy Council.

People were discussing who was suitable to be the next Chancellor of Finance, and the candidates ultimately settled on the oldest nobles.

Some of these great nobles have been inherited for four to five hundred years. Their family history is longer than the history of the Federation, or even more than twice as long!

So don't blame the Gefra people for looking down on the Federation people, there's a reason for that.

People are paying attention to this, and it's as if Lynch and those people don't exist, but that's okay, at least the mentality of everyone in Lynch's small group is gradually moving closer to Lynch.

They already knew the result, and they were watching the usually calm nobles in the Privy Council jumping up and down, as if they were in a farce.

The outburst of enthusiasm among the nobles was indeed astonishing, and just before the end of the month, the Prime Minister suddenly appeared in the Privy Council.

The originally bustling Privy Council Hall suddenly became quiet. The Prime Minister did not put on any airs. He smiled and greeted the nobles constantly, and even occasionally shook hands and talked cordially with some people of similar status to him.

Outside the crowd, Lynch looked at the Prime Minister's behavior and found it a bit interesting.

Regardless of the differences in the social forms and polarization of the political systems between Gaevra and the Federation, when it comes to the issue of "acting", politicians on both sides are masters.

The Prime Minister is very gentle, considerate, and easy to contact. He does not exclude anyone. Even if someone reaches out to shake his hand, he will not reject others because of the gap in status between the two parties.

Of course, there are not many such people. The nobles still relatively care about their own face, and at the same time, they do not want to become the laughing stock in the noble circle.

The Prime Minister turned around and turned to Lynch's side.

"This is our second meeting, Baron Lynch..." The Prime Minister took the initiative to reach out his hand. This action surprised the surrounding nobles.

There is no doubt that a nobleman like Lynch cannot have a second life. He is the standard kind of nobleman who "died after his second life".

How could the Prime Minister take the initiative to shake hands with him?

Some nobles felt that there might be something hidden here, and their eyes changed when they looked at Lynch.

In a place like the Privy Council where nobles gathered together, the Prime Minister of the Empire, one of the largest nobles, took the initiative to shake hands with a federal noble. This in itself was of great political significance.

"I don't quite remember what we wrote before, can you give me a hint?" Facing the future prime minister, Lynch didn't have the slightest bit of stage fright.

He stretched out his hand generously and shook the Prime Minister's hand.

The Prime Minister's hands are a little cold. This is almost always the case when people get older, and their body temperature will be slightly lower than that of young people.

But his hands are soft, like most nobles, they are soft.

The nobles may have never bent down to lift a heavy object in their lives, and they continue to use various things to slow down their aging. This is actually quite normal.

The hands of the two did not let go so quickly, because the situation was different. If they let go, it would mean that the conversation between the two was over.

"Maybe you didn't notice me when you were granted the title. After all, I'm just a 'mascot.'"

He even joked and laughed at himself as he spoke, which made people feel a bit hard to understand.

Not long ago, the Prime Minister wanted to perform surgery on Lynch, but now the two of them are talking and laughing, something is wrong.

Lynch laughed after hearing this, "This is not a funny joke. Even if you are the mascot, you will be the most dazzling one in this empire."

He briefly expressed his position, and the Prime Minister smiled tactfully, shook his arm, "Let's talk alone when we have time..."

Lynch suppressed his smile slightly, "I'm looking forward to that day!"

The two looked at each other and let go of each other's hands.

Watching the Prime Minister walk towards the next group, a smile appeared on the corner of Lynch's mouth. It was just a simple smile, it didn't mean anything.

The two simple sentences between the two people have actually explained a lot of content. It will not be long before the restless little nobles around them start to inquire about some of the details.
