Prime Minister's Official Residence, No. 9 Hope Street, West District.
Prime Minister Agushed was still sitting behind the large table, but only his brother, Duke Negan, was in front of him, half lying down and half sitting on a chair in a very relaxed manner.
The negotiation just now and the indulgence last night made the Sequence 6 "Judge" Duke Negan feel mentally exhausted. And in front of his younger brother, his actions were inevitably a little awkward.
"The suggestions put forward by Earl Hall are already very sincere. Even if it is delayed further, there will not be any big changes."
Agushed is in his fifties, tall and thin, with sparse hair and sharp eyes, but he did not show much of himself in the negotiations just now. Even though he is the Prime Minister and the leader of the Conservative Party, this kind of negotiation is not
He can intervene.
In the current Loen, it is the royal family and the nobles who control the direction of the political arena. The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years has given these nobles sufficient resources to enter various fields and become giants in this field.
For example, Earl Hall just left. The Hall family before him was just a count that had been hereditary for hundreds of years. At most, he had some shares in the bank. In Loen, there are not many such nobles, but there are more than ten.
For example, Count Wolfe.
But in the hands of Earl Hall, the Hall family only retained the lowest land of the earl title, sold all the rest of the land more than ten years ago, and bought all the shares of major banks. At that time, the land price had not risen to the previous few
That's why in the past ten years, many conservative landed aristocrats have ridiculed the Hall family for losing their aristocratic tradition.
Of course, it was also out of jealousy. Earl Hall has become the largest shareholder of Bavart Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, the special advisor of Loon Royal Bank, the third largest shareholder of Suhit Bank of Intis Kingdom, and Kang Si
The second largest shareholder of Dun Coal and Steel Consortium.
Especially after the abolition of the Corn Laws, the more conservative nobles suffered greater losses, such as Duke Negan and Earl Wolfe. Relatively speaking, Duke Negan could still support it. After all, his family had a big business, but Earl Wolfe
They could no longer hold on and began to sell land.
Duke Negan finally got up from his seat, walked a few steps in the office, and yawned loudly:
"Of course I know that Nozick cannot be moved even if he is involved any longer, but I have to try. Yesterday Count Wolfe came to me and wanted to use this shooting incident to make the new party regress and re-establish the Corn Laws.
"
Agushid also stood up from behind the table and said in a bad tone:
"How is this possible? His Majesty the King will not agree, and neither will the Parliament."
"Aha"
Yawning again, Duke Negan rubbed his tearful eyes:
"Although there was only Earl Wolfe yesterday, it was just because many nobles didn't know. Let's wait a few days to see how big this counterattack is. I didn't expect that the losses would be so big after the "Corn Act" was repealed.
!”
Now that the Conservative Party is in power, Duke Negan must agree to the abolition of the Corn Act, otherwise the bill cannot be passed. But he did not expect that the loss would be so great, and the previous promises of George III and the new party could no longer make up for it.
.
Prime Minister Agushed sighed. The bill was passed in his hands. If it weren't for his brother, Duke Negan, the biggest supporter of the Conservative Party, he would have lost the support of the parliament long ago and had to lead the cabinet to resign in advance. As for the dissolution
House of Commons, the King will not agree, nor will the Conservative Party, only the New Party will be happy.
Watching Duke Negan yawn again, Prime Minister Agushid, who knew his brother's character, couldn't help but persuade:
"Paras, do you want your mistresses to..."
Duke Negan interrupted Agushid’s words:
"No, this is just personal morality, not like Nozick."
As the largest landed noble after the king, Duke Negan has many mistresses. However, in the relatively conservative Kingdom of Loen, this is a place where he is easily attacked by political opponents. However, this is just a lack of personal ethics, and which nobleman does not
What? It won’t have much impact.
Seeing his brother's unkind expression, Duke Negan quickly changed the subject:
"Do you know why this case is so big?"
"Why?"
Agushid frowned. He didn't know the reason. He had too many things to deal with.
"Behind Witte Gaude is a young barrister."
Prime Minister Agushed tentatively gave an answer:
"Rolls Adrian?"
Duke Negan blurted out without hiding the surprise on his face:
"how do you know?"
"A year and a half ago, he had the same approach. He first used newspapers to create public opinion, and then easily made the jury change its opinion. How could he get involved in this matter? I remember that he never accepted cases from both parties."
Prime Minister Agushed has always been impressed by Rawls, and was worried about him falling to the New Party. After all, there are many barristers among the members of the New Party. But Rawls has never had an obvious political tendency and just concentrates on running his own affairs.
Place.
Duke Negan did not answer, and left the office, calling his secretary Lockhard Siakam who was standing far away:
"Lockhard."
Lockhard is a thin, blond man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and white gloves. He entered the Prime Minister's Office and stood closer to the door with his head lowered.
"Tell me about Rolls Adrian."
The blond secretary Lockhard said in a deep voice:
"Rolls Adrian, 23 years old, graduated from Lincoln's Inn. He inherited his family's law firm two years ago and became the youngest barrister in Backlund. So far, he has maintained a complete record of all cases.
Sheng. But she has never been politically inclined. It was not until two months ago that she hired a housekeeper with conservative leanings and started to have contact with members of the conservative party.”
Duke Negan tugged on his dark blue admiral uniform and said:
"This Mr. Adrian wants to use this matter to officially enter the Conservative Party."
The blond secretary Lockhard lowered his head and replied:
"According to current research and judgment, this is the case."
Prime Minister Agushed frowned and said:
"Is he an extraordinary person?"
Agushed knew that this young barrister was very powerful, but he had never been related to him, so he didn't care much about this aspect. But now that he was related, he naturally wanted to know more about it.
"Whether it's the Nighthawks team at the Church of the Night or my temptation last night, this Mr. Adrian is not an Extraordinary."
"It seems Adrian just has a talent for being a lawyer."
Agushed nodded, this is reasonable, after all, this is what his family does.
"If he can do this well, I wouldn't mind giving him a 'lawyer' potion after joining the Conservative Party."
