Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 858858 A call from an old friend

"What? My son fainted in school? Didn't he send someone to follow him? How could he faint?" After the Marquise heard the news that her son had fainted in school, she immediately became furious. .

 What is her identity? She was also a famous lady in Dorne back then, and her own family was also a famous local noble.

She is well-matched to be able to marry into the Bailu family. It is because the Bailu Marquis's net worth has increased along with the Datang Group in recent years, which makes her seem a bit high.

More than ten years ago, we still didn’t know who had the final say in this family! She slapped the table angrily and decided to go to the school to investigate.

Isn't it just a broken school? If she doesn't give Bailuhou Mansion an explanation for this matter, then she will ask her husband to overturn their table!

Even if her husband doesn't care about this matter, she doesn't have no energy of her own. You know, he has been very close to the prime minister's little wife recently.

Roger, the prime minister, now has a high status, and even His Majesty the Emperor respects him very much. This man who has been with His Majesty the Emperor has never been married, and now he has finally settled down. The status of the young wife who married into the Prime Minister's Palace is naturally extraordinary.

To say that the girl is also a pleasant, I do n’t know how to hook up the prime minister Roger, and there is no background in the family. It is still a civilian girl, and she flew directly to the branch and turned into a phoenix.

In order not to embarrass her husband, the prime minister's wife asked the Marquise to learn court etiquette after meeting her, hoping that she could attend banquets and other events without embarrassing her husband.

The two of them have become best friends as soon as they go back and forth. If you say that there are things that Prime Minister Roger can't handle in the Tang Empire, the Marquise will not believe it.

 It is precisely because of such many connections that the Marquise has nothing to fear. What's more, this time it was her son who suffered the loss in school, and it was their Bailuhou Mansion that suffered the loss. Originally, it would have been good for a noble like her not to bully others, but now that she was bullied, she felt that she had taken advantage of it. The truth can be used as a reference.

Isn’t this how the appearance of the nobility and the power of privileges are established? Then there are opportunity after opportunity to show one's strength, and finally establish one's status, above all others.

 In the past, the Tang Empire had been trying its best to avoid letting the nobility group come to the fore. Now it is time for those lowly common people to remember what it means to be a wealthy aristocracy.

The royal family is the largest aristocracy, how could it be possible to watch the aristocratic group that supports them disappear into ashes.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was justified. She was even ready to pick up the phone and chat with her little best friend about home affairs, get in touch with each other, and then share the same hatred and go to the school to ask questions.

On the other side, Marquis Bailu was discussing cotton business with several businessmen in the Bailu Group office in Chang'an.

  Guangmian in the Qin State is a good place to grow cotton, and it is named after it. Trying to find ways to bring the cotton there, even the cotton from the orc area, to the Tang Empire is the new task Harry gave him.

Despite the seemingly endless glory of Marquis Egret, many people want to meet with any high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. The most convenient way is to follow Marquis Egret's path.

Just like a person who knows when he drinks water, the Marquis Bailu's family has a great cause. Isn't it because of being affiliated with the Datang Group and being a **** that he is today?

That huge amount of gold coins that seems to shock the world is just the tip of the iceberg of the Datang Group behind it. He worked hard to control the Egret Group to fight in the business world, and any decision he made was a matter of life and death.

Humming his sore shoulders, Marquis Egret finally ended the meeting and was about to ask his secretary to get him a cup of tea when he received a call from the school.

"Lord Marquis, your young master fainted during physical education class." The caller was the dean of the department, and his words were quite polite: "Maybe the physical education courses in our school are a bit too strict, and your young master's physical fitness is not up to par. request."

Frankly speaking, the moment he heard that his son had a problem in school, Marquis Egret was also very unhappy - he donated more than 1.5 million gold coins, and he only asked for His Majesty's face to send the child to you. Something happened there in just one day. This was too disrespectful of him as a Marquis.

 At first he was worried that his son was causing trouble at school, but now he heard that his child had fainted at school, and he instinctively felt very uncomfortable.

However, due to the reputation of the Royal University of Science and Technology, he still stabilized his emotions and maintained the dignity of a qualified noble family head: "That child does lack physical exercise. Your school's strict requirements are right, but he has been spoiled since he was a child... You still need to pay more attention.”

"That's true. The physical education curriculum is a hard target set by His Majesty himself. All students from the Royal Academy who cannot complete the paramilitary training will not be able to graduate..." the department head explained, giving the Marquis a little mercy: " Because of your special status, your young master is placed in the best class in the department, and the requirements are naturally higher. "

 The main reason why he said this was to secretly remind Marquis Egret that his son was taken care of by the school. It was a pity for the school that something like this happened this time.

Another meaning is: If your children can’t keep up with the progress of school, pack up and get out, don’t cause trouble for yourself and the school. We only train elites here, please sort your garbage yourself! Marquis Bailu is also a ghostly person, how can he not understand what school means. His son was just fainted, not dead. It really made the matter bigger, and it wouldn't do him any good.

 So he instinctively wanted to turn a big deal into a small one—handling it in a low-key manner, sailing the ship with caution, and staying on top of it is the last word.

Seeing that Marquis Egret was reasonable and didn't even ask about his child's condition, the department director spoke in a warmer tone and they chatted casually for a few words before hanging up the phone.

The founding of the Tang Dynasty was based on the militarized management and militarized education of schools. All colleges, including the Royal Academy of Arts, required paramilitary training.

All students in school must meet the physical fitness standards, practice stabbing and shooting, and there will be no problem at all if they can directly join the army and fight. It might be an exaggeration to beat ten of the gangsters you meet on the road, but if you beat three of them, you have a high chance of winning.

What's more, the Tang Military Academy, the predecessor of the ten royal academies, had a tradition of dueling by force. Whoever is the boss in the grade has to be punched one by one. The teachers in the school are even happy to see the results and do not interfere in the management.

With such a glorious tradition, we naturally have an idea of ​​what physical education classes in schools are like: the bottom line here is as long as you can’t be beaten to death.

Whether it’s Harry, Garza, Dino, You Lin, or Leer. At that time, they were all famous in school with real swords and guns. Now the generals in the army, Strauss and Bolton, were the younger brothers who were beaten back then.

 So in this environment, it’s nothing if the teacher beats you up, but it’s really troublesome when people don’t bother to beat you up.

 Egret Marquis didn't think it was a problem after hanging up the phone. He went home at night to encourage the child, and then spent money to reward him so that he could continue his studies tomorrow.

What he didn't expect was that a few minutes later, the phone rang again, and the caller turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Your Majesty, the fourth son of yours is really a talented person." The person on the other end of the phone did not tell him his home address, because the other party was sure that the Marquis of Egret could recognize his own voice.

Of course Bailu recognized who the other party was, and smiled a little unnaturally: "Director Li... what do you mean? What kind of trouble did my fourth son get into, so I asked you to call me personally?"

The call from Leo, the director of the Imperial Security Bureau, was not very comfortable for anyone who received it. This old man never goes to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and he always talks in a sinister and sinister way, which makes people uncomfortable.

"You will know what he did soon, but are you ready? Are you ready to be investigated by the Imperial Security Bureau?" Leo still asked questions unhurriedly.

"What? Director Li!...Don't dare to make this joke! I, I...you...no, what on earth did my son do..." Hearing that the intelligence department chief who had just been officially renamed from the National Security Bureau to the Imperial Security Bureau When it comes to investigating himself, Marquis Egret is a bit unconvinced.

 Joke, how many people who were targeted by the FBI in the United States ended up well? Besides, he still doesn’t know why he is being targeted. This is the scariest thing, okay?

"I suspect that you question the national policy of the empire, violate His Majesty's orders, and shake the foundation of the country... In fact, there are no accurate accusations. As an old friend, I will call you in advance to ensure that you don't go astray." Leo still said It was that irritating tone that made Marquis Egret tremble with fear.

Leo knew about this very quickly, because the Imperial Security Bureau had already deployed personnel in the school, and the few students who had sneaked in through entrusted relationships were also under his surveillance.

　　When the fourth young master of the Bailu family caused trouble, he received a report from his subordinates. The content was nothing special, and there was no need for him to handle it personally.

However, the status of the nobleman Marquis Egret is somewhat sensitive, and the whole thing also reveals some signs that people have to be concerned about.

On the one hand, the position of the nobility has been weakened in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Mo did not give any substantive power to the new nobility of the empire, but only gave them some opportunities to make money.

This is completely different from the aristocratic class in other countries: the aristocrats in the Tang Dynasty were actually severely suppressed, and they were "rich people" with little influence.
