Baron Milo is hateful, and everything he says and does is like a standard old politician. He has a black beard and is cunning, so he can play against him and put on a good show. The two of them are shoulder to shoulder, like a couple.
Good brother, that smile is really brilliant.
Baron Milo is the only one left in the mayor's residence. His wife has taken his son and daughter back to the ancestral home to visit their relatives. After all, Baron Milo is not alone. He has a lot of relatives in Black Rock City who need to take care of him. Every winter he
All the wives will go back with their children and their families to make arrangements for the family's affairs for the coming spring.
Perhaps due to the lack of a hostess, the tea that Baron Miró asked the servants to prepare for guests was a bit unsatisfactory. The color of the tea was not very good, and the pastries were obviously not freshly made in the kitchen, but had been prepared in advance and may have been stored.
A few days' worth of snacks were served slightly warmed.
In terms of social etiquette, Baron Milo is undoubtedly rude, but can you be too harsh on a seventy-year-old man whose hostess is not at home? Besides, you still have requests from others? Lin Qi held a cup of black tea and gnawed
Holding the muffin that was a little stuffy to his teeth, he shook his head slightly in annoyance.
As expected of the 'incorruptible' mayor, the refreshments are so bad, even the living room for entertaining guests is very shabby. The large living room is deserted, and a few pieces of miscellaneous wood are burning feebly in the small fireplace.
This kind of miscellaneous wood has no heating power, and the living room is very cold.
As for the furnishings in the living room, not to mention the majestic mayor's residence of Dun Erqi, even the living rooms of small landowners with a little wealth in the imperial countryside are more gorgeous than here. Look at the blackened wallpaper, in many places
They had all fallen off and were hanging on the wall like hanged ghosts. Lin Qi's impression of Baron Milo's 'incorruptibility' deepened even further.
A group of people sat down around a round table in the living room. Baron Milo took a sip of the slightly cold black tea with a smile, and looked at Lin Qi with squinted eyes: "Tiger, this is your kid who went to study in Bureilly.
Right? Well, he is indeed a hero of the empire!"
Lin Qi put down the tea cup and swallowed the dry waffle into his stomach. He stood up, smiled and saluted Baron Milo: "Your Excellency, the mayor, I am Lin Qi, Borelli.
A student majoring in accounting at the Fifth University.”
Baron Milo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Ah, fifth university majoring in accounting?"
The thoughtful Baron Milo winked at Blackbeard: "Tiger, you have found a good major for Mr. Lin Qi. Well, if Lin Qi can enter the Imperial Treasury in the future, your family will have a bright future.
, the real future is boundless!”
Blackbeard laughed a few times, touched the beard on his face, and nodded proudly.
After praising Lin Qi a few words, Baron Milo looked at Enzo curiously: "Who is this?"
Enzo stood up, stood there as straight as a spear and said loudly: "Dear Mayor, I am Lin Qi's friend, Enzo, a student majoring in joint infantry command at the Imperial Army Academy, with the rank of lieutenant in the Imperial Reserve!"
Baron Milo looked at Enzo in surprise. It is not unusual for students at the Army Academy. Students at the Army Academy are generally officers in the Imperial Reserves, which is not surprising. But a current student can hold the rank of lieutenant in the reserves. This is
It proves that Enzo is first-class in both professional performance and personal strength, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain such a high military position.
Blinking his eyes, Baron Milo suddenly thought of many things.
Blackbeard's son is a student of the Fifth University's accounting major. It is well known that graduates of the Fifth University's accounting major are in demand in all administrative departments of the empire, especially among the nobility, big and small, who are known to be able to hire a Fifth University graduate.
Graduates majoring in accounting are proud to be their own financial managers. As long as Lin Qi can graduate successfully, he will be able to find a very good job in the imperial capital.
Enzo, on the other hand, is a top student at the Imperial Army Academy. With his reserve lieutenant rank, once he graduates and joins the Imperial regular army, he will at least get the rank of a warrant officer or even a second lieutenant. If Blackbeard uses the family's strong financial position,
If we work hard for Enzo and don't let him join the front-line combat troops, but instead enter the imperial military headquarters for training, maybe in three to five years, Enzo will be able to join the army as a 'school-level' officer and become a regional leader.
Commander of the garrison.
For example, the garrison commander of Dunker Port, the third largest seaport in the empire, who is in charge of an infantry regiment of 1,000 people, is just a lieutenant colonel!
Baron Milo thought wrong for a while. He associated Enzo with the military spokesman Blackbeard intended to cultivate in the imperial capital! Imagine that after Lin Qi graduates, he joins a big noble family and falls into the lap of a big noble.
, Blackbeard has strong backers in the imperial capital.
If Enzo is allowed to practice in the imperial capital for a few more years, and then he is sent to Dunkirk or the Assen province to become a garrison commander, then the power in Blackbeard's hands will be too great. Administrative power and military power
With all the power under his control, coupled with the powerful power of his own family, this is the power and glory that only a large aristocratic family can have.
Thinking of this, the trace of reserve on Baron Milo's face disappeared without a trace. He suddenly placed the tea cup heavily on the round table and shouted sternly: "What are you doing? I don't know that Mr. Tiger belongs to me.
Are you a distinguished guest? How can you serve guests with such poor refreshments? You lazy fools, why don’t you change the refreshments quickly?”
In just a few breaths, an exquisite sterling silver tea set was brought up, and the teapot contained fine tea with a mellow aroma. New snacks were also brought continuously, including both meat and vegetables, and there were a total of twenty snacks of various colors.
There are several kinds, and the shapes are all exquisite and sophisticated to the extreme.
Baron Milo's smile became brighter, and he held Blackbeard's hand with a smile: "Dear Tiger, we are friends, aren't we?"
Blackbeard squinted his eyes, smiled enigmatically and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course we are friends!"
Baron Miró glanced at Enzo, who was sitting upright on the sofa. He smiled and said: "I will recommend you to the province to take over my position. As long as you can convince the leaders of the various chambers of commerce in Dunkirk, you will
He is the new mayor. Of course, I also have a small request!"
Blackbeard and Lin Qi glanced at Enzo at the same time, and they understood something at the same time.
Lin Qi smiled and nodded repeatedly, and Blackbeard said generously: "Since we are friends, what else is there to say? Just tell me, no matter what it is, as long as it does not violate the laws of the empire or the teachings of God,
I'll take care of it for you."
Baron Milo squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "My youngest son Aaron is only eighteen years old this year. He will graduate from the military academy opened in the Assen province in two years." Baron Milo looked at Black with a meaningful look.
Beard, the implication was that he thought Blackbeard should be able to figure it out.
Blackbeard's eyes widened, and he held Baron Milo's hand tightly: "Then, deal. The mayor is mine, your Aaron, and I will take good care of him."
Baron Milo smiled happily, took Blackbeard's hand and shook it hard a few times.
