Bright Era

Baron Milo has an abominable face, and his words and deeds are the same standard old politician's face, black beard and cunning, just to fight him and sing a good show. The two crossed their backs, like a pair of good brothers, their smiles were really brilliant.

Only Baron Miró stayed at the mayor’s mansion, and his wife had already taken his son and daughter back to the ancestral home to save relatives. After all, Baron Milo is not alone in his family. He has a lot of family members in Black Rock City to take care of. Every winter his wife takes his children and family back home to arrange the family affairs for the coming spring.

Perhaps because of the lack of a hostess, Baron Miró asked his servants to prepare a refreshment for the guests, which was a bit unsatisfactory. The color of the tea was not very good, and the pastries were obviously not made in the kitchen. They were prepared in advance. The pastries that may have been stored for several days were heated up for a while.

In terms of social etiquette, Baron Milo is undoubtedly rude, but can you be too harsh on a seventy-year-old man whose mistress is not at home? Besides, do you still ask for it? Lin Qi was holding a cup of black tea, nibbling on muffins that were a little bit stuffy, and shook his head in anger.

You deserve to be the ‘clean’ mayor. It’s okay to have refreshments like this. Even the reception room for guests is very shabby. The huge living room was deserted, and a few pieces of wood were burning feebly in the small fireplace. This kind of wood had no heat and it was very cold in the living room.

As for the furnishings in the meeting room, not to mention the dignified mayor’s residence, even the meeting rooms of small landlords with a little money in the imperial village are more gorgeous than here. Looking at the blackened wallpaper, it has fallen off in many places and hung on the wall like a hanged ghost. Lin Qi's impression of Baron Milo's "cleanliness" has deepened a bit.

A group of people sat down around a round table in the living room, Baron Milo smiled and drank a bit of cool black tea, squinted at Lin Qi: "Tiger, this is your kid who went to study in Berriley. Huh? Well, it really is a great empire!"

Lin Qi put down the tea cup and swallowed the dry muffins into his stomach. He stood up, smiled and saluted Baron Milo: "Your Honorable Mayor, I am Lin Qi, Berrily Student of the Fifth University majoring in accounting."

Baron Milo squinted his eyes, he smiled and said, "Aha, major in accounting at the Fifth University?"

The thoughtful Baron Milo blinked his eyes at Blackbeard: "Tiger, you found Mr. Lin Qi a good profession. 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. He touched the beard on his face and nodded triumphantly.

After complimenting Lin Qi with a few words, Baron Milo looked at Enzo curiously: "This is?"

Enzo stood up and stood erect like a spear, saying: "Your Excellency Mayor, I am Lin Qi's friend, Enzo, a professional student of the Imperial Army Academy's joint infantry command, and the rank of Lieutenant in the Imperial Reserve!"

Baron Miró looked at Enzo in surprise. The students of the Army Academy were not surprising. The students of the Army Academy were generally officers in the Imperial Reserve. But a student who is studying can have the rank of lieutenant in the reserve service, which proves that Enzo is first-class excellent in both professional performance and personal strength, otherwise he would not be able to get such a high military position.

After blinking his eyes, Baron Milo thought of many things.

Blackbeard's son is a student of the Fifth University majoring in finance and accounting. It is well known that the graduates of the Fifth University majoring in finance and accounting are highly sought-after in all administrative departments of the empire, especially those nobles, big and small, who can hire a fifth university. Accounting graduates are proud to be their own financial supervisors. As long as Lin Qi can graduate successfully, he can find a good job in the Imperial Capital.

And Enzo is a high-achieving student of the Imperial Army Academy. With his rank of reserve lieutenant, once he graduates and joins the Imperial Army, he can at least get a warrant officer or even a second lieutenant. If Blackbeard uses his family’s strong wealth to operate for Enzo and prevents him from joining the front-line combat force, but instead enters the Imperial Army for training, perhaps in three to five years, Enzo will be able to become a'school-level' officer. He joined the army and became the chief guard of a region.

For example, Dunerke Port, the chief guard of the third largest seaport in the empire, commanded a guard of a thousand-man infantry regiment. He was just a lieutenant colonel!

Baron Milo felt bad for a while, and he thought of Enzo as the military spokesperson that Blackbeard had deliberately cultivated in the Emperor! Imagine waiting for Lin Qi to join a certain noble family after graduation, and to put on the thighs of a certain noble, Blackbeard will have a strong backing for the emperor.

Let Enzo experience a few years in the imperial capital, and then let him be sent to Dunelker or the province of Assen to become the chief guard of a place, then Blackbeard's authority would be too great. Both the administrative power and the military power are under his control, coupled with the strong power of his own family, this is the power and glory that a large noble family has.

Thinking of this, the trace of reservedness on Baron Miró’s face disappeared without a trace. He suddenly placed the teacup heavily on the round table and sternly said: "What are you doing? I don’t know Mr. Tiger is mine. Dear guests? How can you serve guests with such crude refreshments? You lazy idiots, why don't you change your refreshments soon?"

In just a few breaths, the exquisite sterling silver tea set was sent up, and the teapot was filled with mellow and excellent fragrant tea. New dim sums are constantly being delivered, including meat and vegetables. There are more than 20 kinds of dim sum in various colors, and the shapes are all exquisite to the extreme.

Baron Milo’s smile became brighter, he smiled and grabbed Blackbeard’s hand: "Dear Tiger, we are friends, aren’t we?"

Black beard squinted his eyes and nodded with a deep smile: "Of course, of course we are friends!"

Baron Milo 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 Dunelker, you 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, and Blackbeard said broadly, "Since I'm a friend, what else can I say? Tell me, no matter what it is, as long as it does not violate the laws of the empire and the doctrine of God, I will do it for you."

Baron Milo squinted and said with a smile: "My youngest son Aaron is only 18 years old this year, and the military academy opened in the province of Assen will be graduated in two years." Baron Milo looked at the black meaningfully. Beard, what he meant was that Black Beard should be able to figure it out.

Blackbeard's eyes widened, and he shook Baron Milo's hand heavily: "Then, deal. The mayor is mine, your Aaron, I will take good care of him."

Baron Milo smiled happily. He took Blackbeard's hand and shook it firmly.
