Cosma Empire

"Our situation in Darius is getting better and better. Last month, we wiped out the last tribal force in Banyue Province who did not obey the rules. The development of several mines in Banyue Province has also been put on the agenda..." Duan The middle-aged man with a wine glass was surrounded by several peers, and they were talking about things that Du Lin didn't know at all.

Although he just heard such a sentence passing by him, it was enough to make Du Lin realize that this empire, and even the whole world, was finally about to open some kind of door to him.

Magus noticed Du Lin's expression, and as the two walked forward, Magus said, "During that accident...you know what it is, some nobles transferred their industries and influence abroad , except for a very few poor people who are not pitied by the goddess of luck, everyone else is doing well!"

Magus forced His Majesty the Emperor to give up his power, and some nobles stood firmly on the side of the royal family, which is now the old party. There are also some people who follow the sudden emergence of Magus, and these people are now the new party. However, apart from the new party and the old party, there are actually some nobles who have not made a choice, and they are not fools. Faced with a dilemma, they chose to leave the empire early.

The change of regime often means the outbreak of a terrible war. These nobles are unwilling to let the family's centuries-old precipitation be ruined because of the affairs of a few people. Of course, they have good reasons for leaving.

Neither supporting the royal family nor Magus, they chose to avoid it.

In the process of transferring overseas, it is inevitable that some unfriendly places will be encountered. In addition, the natives in many places are jealous of the wealth held by these nobles, and wars broke out.

It's just that these natives don't know that even if these nobles leave the empire, the empire still supports them behind them.

Whether it's supplies, or guns and ammunition, as long as they can afford money, the cabinet will approve them and let them "expand their territories."

The place where the nobles go most is the Southern Continent. The Southern Continent is vast and sparsely populated, but there are also many small islands. Most of the powers exist in the form of tribes. This avoids the outbreak of large-scale all-out wars and is beneficial to the nobles. They occupy the local area and develop resources steadily and continuously.

After more than 20 years and almost 30 years of "development", these nobles brought "the fire of civilization" to the local backward indigenous tribes, allowing many very backward civilizations to feel the light and heat from advanced civilizations.

It is said that the largest slave organization in the world was organized by some nobles from the empire. Of course, this is definitely a slander to the empire, a slander from Chiguoguo. How could an empire that has bred a splendid civilization for thousands of years do such inhuman things?

In addition to the possible slander of human trafficking, overseas nobles deal in ores the most, as well as some luxury materials, such as the teeth or feathers of certain animals. Some organization claims that in the past 30 years, a total of more than seventy-six species of creatures have become extinct due to overhunting, and most of the materials were eventually sold to the Empire and the Federation. The Empire and the Federation should also pay for these extinct animals. Creatures are in charge.

The empire is not in a hurry to deny such accusations, after all, there is still a federation to accompany it, isn't it?

"Some of these people have returned to live in the empire, but some are still living outside, don't offend them, and don't be too accommodating to them." Magus finally mentioned Du Lin, but he didn't explain clearly, because he I think Du Lin should be able to understand it.

The empire is getting stronger and stronger, and it is naturally more attractive to the nobles who transferred out in the early years. Even if they manage those poor places as magnificent as the imperial capital, it can't change the fact that there is the countryside in Tugougou. Only by returning to the empire and the aristocratic circle can they obtain real peace.

It's just that these people, especially the new generation, are used to using killing as a way of negotiation outside, and they are not very suitable for civilizations like the empire.

Inevitably there will be some conflicts. In all the conflicts that have occurred in the past, the cabinet has always stood on the side of the empire. After all, these nobles can no longer be regarded as real imperial nobles, at most they are only indigenous nobles.

This engagement ceremony attracted many people. Apart from the nobles who migrated overseas that Du Lin had never known before, there were also some nobles who were very low-key on weekdays. Looking around the entire venue, nobles can be seen everywhere. I have never seen so many nobles!

In addition to the nobles, many real "new nobles" have also come. In layman's terms, they are big capitalists.

Immediately after capital was released from the cage, the uncontrollable expansion became a distorted monster. At some point, even politics had to make concessions for capital, which also made these successful capitalists the ones who benefited the most in this new era Groups, on the basis of being rich, also enjoy many powers that are not necessarily available to those who are rich.

Like..., just as Du Lin was about to see if there were any acquaintances of his own, he saw a playboy with his arms around a young girl waving at him. There was no doubt that there would be no one other than Henry who could make such a move.

Magus also saw Henry and chuckled, "Your friend is greeting you, don't you plan to respond to him?"

Du Lin knew that Magus was quietly mocking him, so he replied calmly, "Okay, Uncle Magus!"

Regardless of the expression on the old man's face, Du Lin walked towards Henry. He didn't expect Henry to come too. In fact, not only Henry came, but also his father.

After all, this is a marriage of the empire's top giants. As the empire's steel tycoon, Mr. Knight must appear on the scene. If he is not there, the next day, under the deliberate promotion of some people, there will be absurd rumors like "Shock! The truth about the disagreement between the steel tycoon and the top of the empire!", and there will be a group of fools who will take these rumors seriously .

"Mr. Knight..." As Dooling is Henry's friend, Knight is his elder. He should of course greet him first and extend his hand at the same time.

Knight didn't dare to neglect Du Lin, shook hands with him quickly, and showed an approachable attitude. It seems that everyone here is very approachable, but it is only here, only today.

"Thanks to you for taking care of him in the west, my incompetent child didn't cause any trouble. I often say that I want to meet you, but this guy always forgets about it.", Knight let go After handing over, he expressed his kindness to Du Lin very kindly, and seemed to forget that there was a time when Henry lent the manor to Du Lin, which caused him to be furious.

Du Lin glanced at Henry and the little girl in her arms. Although he knew very well that a family like a steel tycoon must abide by certain rules, and knew that this reality was cruel, it just happened in front of his eyes. , Du Lin was still somewhat embarrassed.

Henry's first wife is the eldest daughter of John of the George family of the Press Trust. In the eyes of many people, this must be a happy couple. The marriage of two families with almost the same differences means that the young couple whose interests are intertwined will be very happy. Live happily ever after. However, the George family's family is in decline, and Henry did not bring his original wife to show up on such an important occasion today, which means that he is likely to have divorced the eldest daughter of the George family, otherwise he would never dare to bring The lover appears.

But this kind of thing is also very normal. After all, the George family has completely declined, leaving only a direct heir like Nasha, who is still attached to him.

Divorcing Henry and his wife is actually the best ending. At least the woman can get a lot of money to spend the rest of her life, instead of dying suddenly in the hospital due to a certain disease in a certain period of time.

Du Lin gathered his thoughts and leaned his upper body slightly forward to maintain his etiquette when facing the elders, which also made Knight very comfortable, "Henry is a very reliable friend, and I have seen such excellent qualities as honesty and honesty in him. , it is also my honor to be friends with Henry."

"Actually, I was supposed to visit you, Mr. Knight. It's just that you may have noticed some news about me. I've been so busy these past few years that I neglected this matter. I'm extremely sorry."

Naite waved his hand, "Hey...saying these words will make us look too strange. As long as you are interested, you can come to our house as a guest anytime and anywhere. On behalf of all members of the family, I warmly welcome you." He held up After the two clinked glasses, Du Lin went to entertain other people.

Looking at Du Lin's back, Knight smiled and shook his head. There is no comparison between people. A self-made kid can get to where he is today. Anyone who talks about luck is jealous. The key is his personal ability. Glancing back at Henry, he hummed twice, it's better not to compare, because it's easy to get angry if there are too many.

Seemingly aware of some subtle changes in Mr. Knight's mood, Henry stopped communicating with his girlfriend and looked at Mr. Knight, "Maybe I'm not as good as you need, but at least I'm honest and loyal. This is my shining light." You can't ignore my strengths just because you don't like me."

Knight looked at Henry, and Henry was also a little stubborn to meet Knight's gaze. After a while, Knight lowered his head and drank a glass of wine. After a while, the smell of alcohol gushed out of his mouth with his voice, "Did you hear Has anyone ever used the words honesty and loyalty to describe a businessman?" After finishing speaking, he left here without looking back, and went to socialize with other people, leaving only Henry, who was thinking hard, standing there.

"Why does this sentence sound harsh?!", he thought.
