Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 26: public opinion?

"I am firmly opposed to confrontation. Even though Serveit Talos' status in the Talos family has been declining in recent years, he is still the son of the Earl of Talos. I don't think we can gain anything from a conflict with him... ...Mr. Adrian, you are an old-fashioned aristocrat in Renas, of course you have enough bargaining chips, but we businessmen rely on policies to eat. After all, Renas is the city of Lord Serveit... ..."

A middle-aged man with a moustache and a plump figure sat behind the round table. He was holding a silver cup in his hand full of gemstone rings. While talking, his small eyes looked around at the people around him, observing their words and expressions.

His words made the young man sitting in the main seat frown, and his expression was slightly unpleasant.

"Yes, Serveit Talos is the son of the duke, but according to the decree in the "Noble Law" of the Lane Empire: Honorary nobles among the descendants of noble nobles shall not be nobles except hereditary, don't you know?"

Taking a sip of the wine in the golden wine glass, the young man, the current head of the Adrian family, Viscount Adrian frowned and asked back.

Noble titles are divided into five grades: Duke, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male.

The so-called Gao Jue means Duke, Marquis, Earl, and three titles, because most nobles above the Earl are feudal lords who control a large area, and the whole decree actually means that if a family already has a high title For example, the father of Serveit Talos is the most senior duke, so his descendants are not allowed to become high dukes.

Otherwise, based on the number of descendants of several duke families within the empire, if a group of marquis and earls are held by the power of the family, how can the Lane Empire give them so many fiefs?

You must know that even a hereditary title must be one level lower according to the rules of the Lane Empire, which means that when the current Duke of Talos abdicates, the successor can only be the Marquis of Talos.

"Servit Talos declared himself to be the Earl of Ghost Face, but in fact he was not recognized by the Lane Empire, he just said that it was an arrogant title in the name of his father. His real title is Viscount!"

Speaking of this, there was a trace of resentment in Adrian's eyes. His family had been operating in Renas for an unknown time. He originally thought that he could become the actual controller of the city through operation after he took over as the head of the family. As long as he works hard for a few years in control of a medium-sized city, he may be able to promote his family to the count family.

Who knew that when his plan was about to succeed, a Serveit Talos was suddenly parachuted to Reinas. The actual title was obviously the same as his own, but because he had a duke father, he enjoyed earl-level privileges and completely controlled Lei Nass. Nas didn't say anything, but he also dug up all the forces that originally belonged to him.

It's just that Adrian is also a smart person. He knows that if he wants to forcibly fight this young master with a golden spoon, the chance of winning is very slim. The backer is still not something he can provoke.

So he has been waiting, waiting for the other party's actions to harm Renas to intensify, until the other party completely arouses public resentment!

It is foreseeable that once there is a public riot, the imperial government will investigate no matter who the son is. In order to protect Serveit Talos, the Talos family will have a great chance to transfer him to other cities to continue serving as mayor. Enjoy happiness, and the city will naturally fall into your own hands.

He will appear as the savior and become the well-deserved leader of Renas!

This idea is very good and highly feasible. In fact, after several years of waiting, the day he was looking forward to has come.

However, someone thought of the same method as him, and acted faster than him!

It was during this most critical period that Serveit Talos was attacked.

This is a good thing!

At least in Adrian's view, it was a great thing. He wished that the guy who robbed him was killed on the street, the worse the better.

But it backfired...it's about to go **** into the abyss!

Who would have thought that the **** that didn't understand anything, Grandet, the pretentious clown would suddenly come to his senses?

It is to set the minimum wage and maximum working hours, and to spend the money of the families that have been wiped out to build Renas...

"Ser Adrian Court...Ser Adrian!"

The sound coming from the side interrupted Adrian's increasingly impolite dark thoughts. His eyes regained focus, and he glanced at the people around the long table in front of him. They were all high-profile figures in the upper class of Renas, who had business operations. The president of the chamber of commerce with a large number of shops, there are also capitalists with several factories, and there are several barons in Renas City.

They share a common identity: someone unhappy with what Serveit Talos has done lately

Their lives were originally very beautiful. In Renas, there was a mayor who took the lead in making money, and they were more unscrupulous, but none of the new policies recently implemented by Serveit Talos were not harming their interests.

"The fact that Serveit Talos has implemented these policies without consulting any of us seems to me to be very disrespectful to us by squandering the money earned by others' hard work on the commoners, It has to be said to be a pity to ignore those of us who really support him..."

As the leader of this alliance of interests, Adrian put on a distressed gesture, and he didn't know how much Serveit Talos owed them.

If Donald was here, he would definitely laugh at these ignorant guys. Every policy he proposes is to ensure the normal conduct of business activities. The so-called damaged interests are things that are exploited by illegal means. That is to say, it is only in Reinas that it is taken for granted that it is "earned by legitimate labor".

"So what should we do? Mr. Ans's words are actually right, no matter if Serveit Talos is a viscount or an earl~lightnovelpub.net~ he is always the mayor of Reinas, as long as he is determined to implement the New Deal, There's no way we could interfere."

"Wrong! What you said is impossible to interfere, it is impossible to interfere at the political level, and our strength is not in the government at all, but in those shops that have opened all over Renas, producing all kinds of important materials. middle!"

Adrian raised his chin, his arrogant eyes swept over everyone around him again, and then said,

"I fully agree with Mr. Ans's statement that we can't confront it head-on, but it doesn't mean that we have no other means. Isn't Serveit Talos going to engage in urban construction, he wants to rebuild residential areas, then we will cut corners , delays in construction, he wants to set a minimum wage, then we join forces to raise prices...I want all the citizens of Renas to know that Serveit Talos is a complete liar!"

"The deepest despair comes from seeing hope and then being completely deprived of it... By then, the people of Renas City will absolutely go crazy!"

There were not many stupid people present, and someone quickly understood what Adrian meant.

As soon as he said these words, other people's thinking seemed to have found a breakthrough. For a time, the quiet conference room seemed to become a bustling city. People kept expressing their opinions. The guy kept jumping out of his mouth.

Looking at this scene, a gloomy smile slowly appeared on Adrian's face, and he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

After tonight, they will be the driving force behind the scenes, and it will only be the people at the bottom of the society who will really fight against Serveit Talos.

Serveit Talos, are you ready for the wrath of the people?
