201 Ordinary Noble Gathering(1/2)

Godoy Saka: "Hui, are you ready to accept your new life as a noble? Hissiliu."

Yang: "Of course, I have been preparing for this for several years. Hiss."

"Delly went shopping for groceries. Taking advantage of this time, I will teach you some basic etiquette of aristocrats. This is not the rigid teaching of those online videos. Real imperial aristocrats, when watching those Internet celebrity videos, just follow

Like a clown. Hissing."

"However," Yang Luo stopped sucking the sweet, delicious and hot liquid food in the bowl and frowned, "Do all the nobles of the empire eat like this?"

"This is for concealment, do you understand?"

Godoy Sarkar emphasized:

"Listen, my overly wealthy son, we're going to hide it from everyone, and we're going to execute our plan from now on."

"I received your commission. This commission is very important to me. Of course, if the family's reputation can not be ruined in my hands, then I will try my best to pass it on."

You don’t want to be sent to a noble court as a commoner, do you? They may sentence you to decades of imprisonment! We must be cautious and cautious.

"This is the most secluded place. Even if there is some secret service spying on us with remote equipment, this dining table surrounded by a metal structure can block most of the signals."

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Hiss."

Yang Luo silently took out a badge from his coat pocket and pinned it on Viscount Saka's chest. Godoy was stunned for a moment, and then he saw himself and the young man in front of him being enveloped in a faint light at the same time.

"It's something special for business negotiations," Yang Luo said calmly, "I've already made preparations for it."

The two people squatting under the table calmly climbed out and took a sip of the nutritious porridge carefully cooked by Mrs. Delly.

Yang Luo has little need for delicious food, but he has already received the satisfaction brought by delicious food in less than a full day here.

"It's strange," Viscount Saka said, "You obviously already have so much money, material things, and the respect of others. I mean, why does your little secretary still want to get such a useless reputation?"

Yang Luo smiled and said, "What do I lack now?"

"Title?"

"Human desires are very strange. The more you lack something, the more you want to get it," Yang Luo said slowly, "I want to have new pursuits in life."

"Okay, then I'll start teaching you some details."

Viscount Saka pointed to his head:

"First of all, you need to change your hairstyle, to a more aggressive hairstyle, to make people feel that you are not adaptable to your new identity and feel awkward. You are acting too calm now, and you don't look like someone who has just entered the aristocracy from a poor environment.

Family boy.”

"If your own acting skills are not up to par, it will be a disaster for both of us."

"I understand, let me feel it."

Yang Luo thought carefully, and his eyes soon changed. He became eager to try but fully restrained, with a rare sense of disguised maturity.

"Yes, that's it. Your acting skills are great."

"Essential skills for business activities," Yang Luo quickly adjusted.

Viscount Saka drank up the food in the bowl and smacked his lips with unfinished content: "The greatest achievement of my life is marrying my wife. She is very nice, right?"

"A gentle and intellectual woman," Yang Luo responded warmly.

"This is what I plan to do next."

Viscount Saka said slowly:

"First of all, we must get along like this for one to two months to fully cover up the situation."

"We are going to have some family conflicts. The arrival of an illegitimate child will definitely have a huge impact on the original family relationship. We will start to declare to the outside world that you are my wife's distant nephew. I will take you to attend the Saka held twice a month and a half.

Star Nobles Dinner, this is the process of letting the nobility on this planet get to know you."

"Don't be too hasty. We must deny this relationship first and let those boring guys think about it on their own."

"Based on my understanding of them, if I openly say that you are my illegitimate son, then they will definitely suspect that I am reselling the title for a price."

//But if I try my best to deny that you are my illegitimate son, they will point fingers behind my back and say that I, a down-and-out viscount from a down-to-earth family, can actually afford to raise one more son.

"A little detour."

Yang gave a thumbs up: "I completely agree."

"And I'm going to wrong you a little bit later."

Viscount Saka smiled and said:

"Many nobles know my predicament. I will give you my most decent coat, and I will seriously recommend you to several uncles, hoping to arrange a decent job for you."

"There is a high probability that you can get this job. My ancestors also had great success."

"After the two gatherings, we will spread some rumors about family discord to the outside world. I will find an opportunity to take you to the Noble Council on this planet. The chairman on duty of the Council is my uncle. You don't have to worry. As long as

We do it seamlessly and everything will go smoothly.”

Yang Luo nodded.

He could feel that the old man with white temples in front of him really wanted to facilitate this transaction.

"I obey your arrangements in everything."

Viscount Sacca went to the built-in refrigerator with a smile and took two bottles of beer.

"Come on, I'll take you to a good place, come this way."

A few minutes later.

The two of them appeared on the terrace of the manor villa, looking at the gloomy and gloomy city ahead.

This is like a steel jungle, with not much light visible. At a glance, you can only see a few buildings with more than half of the windows lit up, and most of the rest of the buildings only have a few solitary lights.

Under the light red sky, densely packed high-rise buildings can be vaguely seen.

The flashing lights on the top of the tall building formed a red light curtain, making the already gloomy sky even more starless.

The two satellites of this planet are smaller in size and farther apart. Only two inconspicuous and dim stars can be seen. They are dim, just like the bodies of those tall buildings.

Viscount Saka introduced the history of the city and told the rise and fall of a family.

Yang Luo and Viscount Saka were sitting on the steps at the edge, their four legs swinging back and forth. The two bottles of alcoholic beverages soon had only their bottom caps left, and they were holding them in their hands. It seemed that no one was too lazy to go down and get two more bottles.

"This planet is called Saka because of it before?" Yang Luo asked curiously.

"This used to be the fiefdom of my ancestors," Viscount Saka said with a smile. "About two hundred years ago, this was the industrial base that ranked 25th in the empire in terms of industrial index. It had developed heavy industry and ranked 13th in the empire.

A very large shipyard, and my great-grandfather was the local earl.”

Yang Luo didn't intend to pursue the question any further.

From a hereditary earl with a fiefdom to a down-and-out viscount with an abandoned manor, the gap is really too big.

But the viscount next to him started talking, sighed softly, and said slowly:

"Everything stems from the fact that my great-grandfather was unwilling to let this planet decline."

"Actually, this planet is just an ordinary planet, otherwise it would be unlikely to be designated as the territory of counts. Although there are not many hereditary counts in the empire, there are still many powerful factions."

"In order to maintain the economic prosperity of this planet, for those beautiful data, and for the flattery of others at the gathering of the great nobles every year, he desperately accelerated the development of this planet's resources."

"However, due to continuous excavation over the past thousand years, the resources of this planet and several resource planets near this planet have been rapidly approaching exhaustion, and the environment has gradually deteriorated irreparably."

"Capital began to flee, and the shipyards planned to relocate. My great-grandfather tried his best to save all this, to make this planet continue to prosper, and he gambled everything in our family to transform the economy. However, after ten years of hard work,

Years later, it is still devastated.”

"The planet fell into ruin almost overnight."

High-quality assets have fled, brainpower has been lost rapidly, and the value of fixed assets has plummeted. The value of this planet is only 4% or 5% of its peak.

"The most ridiculous thing is that according to the aristocratic laws of the empire, when we work hard to manage this planet, the empire will not increase your fiefdom or upgrade your title. But when you do not manage well and cause public dissatisfaction, the empire will

Take back your fiefdom and deregister your family title."

"My grandfather was the worst. He was one of the few counts in the history of the empire who lost his title and fief. He suffered countless looks and ridicules."

"My generation has actually come out of that shadow. It's nothing, right? It's just a different life path."

Yang Luo sighed: "Let's talk about my younger brothers and sisters."

One of them is eleven and the other is thirteen, which is the age when they are rebellious." Viscount Saka shrugged, "I know that in their eyes, I am a useless aristocratic father, but I have given them what I can.

The best thing I gave you.”

Yang asked: "Can't nobles engage in high-paying jobs?"

"Of course not," said Viscount Saka, "but the empire has developed to this day and has formed many agreed-upon rules. The aristocracy and the civilian class are clearly distinguished. And as the empire continues to tighten the promotion channels for the aristocracy, the lives of civilians have also changed.

It’s also becoming more stable.”

The viscount was obviously helpless:

My father once ran a large enterprise, but due to poor management, he fell into the trap of other nobles.

"I used to work hard to learn hull design and shipbuilding technology, and wanted to be a senior engineer, but the companies I applied for didn't want to recruit a nobleman who needed to be supported."

"I tried to get a loan from a bank, but the bank is a place that doesn't look at your noble title or connections. They will only review the value of your assets, and then huh."
