As merchants and civilians competed with each other, before the rumors of the plague completely passed, the entire Nat Imperial City showed a ridiculous prosperity.

People are discussing that the merchants are said to sell the dung heaps overseas to irrigate their overseas manors, while many freedmen living nearby are staying on the sidelines, but another part of the well-informed and smart manor owners, It was suddenly after meeting Johnson and his friends that he became a publicist for compost irrigation.

And when the free people are struggling with the critique of the temple and the propaganda of every worship, the owners of the manor outside are already crazily pulling irrigation and fertilizers, and the flow of people in the entire Nat Imperial City has increased even more, before the arrival of midsummer. Already energized.When it is said that on the emperor's land, everyone has received an order to irrigate with compost, and what is even more surprising is that on the land of the Black Duke, it is said that everyone has already been able to eat delicious, unadulterated food. Impurity bread!

Relying on that dirty, horrible pile of shit!

And the reason why those manor owners stood up this time was because they heard that there was something called potatoes, which had an unprecedented harvest on the land of the Black Duke. It was said that no one died of starvation during the entire winter of York last year!

This data is very tempting to ordinary people, not to mention those manor owners. After they ate mashed potatoes and French fries without knowing it like Johnson, they heard the output of these things, and immediately Instantly saw the terrible interests behind it.

《资本论》里有一句非常经典话,就是用来形容商人和资本家的本性的——“如果有10%的利润,它就保证到处被使用;有20%的利润,它就活跃起来;有50%的利润,它就铤而走险;为了100%的利润,它就敢践踏一切人间法律;有300%的利润,它就敢犯任何罪行,甚至绞首的危险。”

The civilians may not be able to see what it represents because of their limited vision, but this group of middle-class people instantly smelled the huge future contained in it-not only to show favor to His Majesty Josephine who is in power and eager to reform , but also bring extremely huge benefits to oneself.

The planting methods and seeds of those potatoes are still in the hands of the Black Duke. Although this thing will become popular in the future, those who are at the forefront will not get a simple benefit.

Therefore, when the Duke of March was still smoking with the temple and laughing at the reform, the businessmen who smelled the benefits had already made this matter a classic marketing case.

This incident not only allowed Alexander to show his face before His Majesty, but also gave Mr. Johnson and his friends a chance to participate in the royal banquet.

Banquets in the palace are usually unimaginable existences for ordinary people. For many descendants of fallen nobles, it is an unimaginable glory in their entire lives.

Johnson and his friends probably only dreamed of this scene in the most absurd dream, but this time, because they completed it so beautifully, those who performed well among them got the ticket to enter the gate invitations.

The burlesque entertainers arranged by the Duke of March are still amusing the conservative nobles at the banquet, making up funny stories about blasphemers and their shit eating, they are all drunk and dreaming in the castle east of the city, with elegant noble women shaking feather fans Flirting, gulping down the best wine, berating "those who don't believe in gods", but on the other hand, the upstarts have stepped onto the stage of history, but at this time each of them is trembling, many people think this is a once in a lifetime award.

Even Tang Feiliu, who had already entered the palace, never expected that this was just a mission for him, a process of trying to stop the disease and bring something to this time and space.

And the result will tell him that his hard work may be able to achieve more than his own ordinary human head can think of.

It was like when Tang Feiliu was funding Dr. Charlemagne, Tang Feiliu didn't even think about a single thought of kindness, but it became the wedge that saved millions of people today; and today he just wanted to bring a beautiful and clean imperial city, so he should have The Nat lioness Josephine the Great, who was able to lay down a brilliant foundation after half a lifetime of hard work on the road to reform, actually overcame more than ten years of hard work in one step, and saw a future where the people would have no worries about food and clothing in this year.

Those veteran nobles and the temple, who still had more than ten years of happy life, fought wits and courage with His Majesty Josephine, pulling each other to maintain a delicate balance.

However, Edward quietly developed a well-capitalized and powerful York; with him standing behind, what Josephine and Edward never told Tang Feiliu was that what she gave Tang Feiliu seemed to be a simple task, but one One link is interlocked, and the other link stagnates may have to be politically compromised and balanced for many years.

But Tang Feiliu is a fool. He only wants to do things well, and he doesn't understand any implication. The same is true for Alexander. He sees farther than Tang Feiliu, but he can only see that it is their hope for promotion, but he has no idea. Thinking about it, that's not just the hope of their group. In the future history books, in this ball, they represent the alternation of old and new powers, representing... the big merchant class and the middle class will become and old-school aristocrats. A force that counters and eventually replaces them.

This is the signal of the passing carriage of the times. Some people in it may understand it, and some may not understand it. The smart people mixed in this group of people will become legends in the future, and they will be all-powerful; People, looking around happily now, ready to brag to anyone at any time in the rest of their lives, can be regarded as everyone has their own blessings and fate.

Tang Feiliu was also going to attend this ball. He originally only wanted to wear the suit he brought from York, but unexpectedly, this time Edward paid special attention to it. costumes.

An all white suit.

Now Tang Feiliu has grown a lot, and he has grown a lot taller. His original youthful appearance disappeared, and he began to have a more gentle appearance, with long hands and long feet, with a kind of gentleness and sunshine His blond hair has grown a lot longer. Edward is obsessed with those hairs. Although he doesn't interfere with them, once they grow long, he always likes to caress those blond hairs over and over again. Tang Feiliu feels that Edward is already like an idiot, so I always cut my hair short in the summer, and this time I was busy with cholera, when it could be tied up.

The material of the white suit was satin, and the buttons were simple gold with sapphires.From Tang Feiliu's point of view, this is a set of clothes that will make people look greasy and demented if they are not worn properly, and are extremely unfriendly to humans.

But this suit is really beautiful, it is the kind of self-ashamed feeling that makes people feel that they are not worthy of this suit.

But when Tang Feiliu put it on, facing the full-length mirror, he didn't care about Edward outside, and he stared blankly at himself.

In the mirror, the teenager with blond hair tied up randomly, wearing this satin white suit, stood barefoot on the carpet, because of the well-tailored, his legs looked long and straight, and the sapphire buttons set off his stunned blue eyes, a kind of ascetic but Conflicting visual senses... Tang Feiliu felt that if he wasn't pure O, he might have to lose his integrity in front of the mirror today.

"Lance, you're okay..." Edward pushed open the door of the cloakroom, and just halfway through his words, he disappeared.

Seeing his eager expression, Tang Feiliu couldn't care less about admiring himself, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Let's go, we're going to be late, so let's do it! Let's go!"

Edward's Adam's apple rolled, and he pulled him several times before he was pulled out of the room.

After getting into the carriage, Tang Feiliu realized that his sapphire bow tie was crooked. He put his head down to straighten his bow tie, glanced at the huge gold-backed sapphire neckline, and lamented in his heart... It's just a dinner party, does it need to be so exaggerated? ? !

He raised his head and looked at Edward himself. He was dressed in black for thousands of years, and he was capable, strong and amazingly oppressive.

Tang Feiliu grinned, thinking to himself, this handsome guy with flying hormones is mine!

The next moment he started to worry again, and couldn't help but start asking sideways—is there a woman at the dinner party?Isn't it beautiful to have a woman?

After saying a few words, Tang Feiliu suddenly thought of something important, and Tang Feiliu immediately became nervous—the party of the nobles is definitely different from that of the country gentry. It is said that the women of the great nobles still have fan language, look at her waving it with a cute smile The fan is flirting with you, maybe the frequency of the fan fan is calling you an idiot to stay away from me.

In short, the upper class is so complicated. It is said that not only noble women have fan language of waving fans to make codes, but also some simple code words and etiquette among men.

Tang Feiliu grabbed Edward nervously, and expressed his worries. Edward had heard that he had been in the hall with noble ladies, and his face was stiff. Now, listening to Tang Feiliu asking these questions, he thought that this was what he had been worried about all along. Only then did he show a smile, he held Tang Feiliu's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I guarantee that they will not dare to do these actions in front of you."

Tang Feiliu still wanted to speak, but Edward let him look at his hand, and said in a low voice, "If someone is saying something you don't understand, show the ring on your hand."

Tang Feiliu looked at the Black Duke's power ring on his finger: ... No wonder Edward asked him to wear this ring when he went out, so that he would not be wronged at the banquet?

Fireworks exploded in his heart. Tang Feiliu was happy for a while, then remembered what happened just now, and asked hesitantly: "Then... at the banquet, are you going to dance with those girls?"

Although Tang Feiliu used to dance for a while, he didn't know if he would be particular about this kind of party. He thought he was covering it up very well at the moment, but his eyes betrayed his thoughts without any scruples.

Edward looked at Tang Feiliu's thought of "I'm just asking casually", and that face was entangled in concern, with a smile on his mouth, without teasing him, he said seriously: "Yes."

When he saw the little angel's blue eyes about to stand up, he added in time: "And Your Majesty Josephine."

The opening dance must be started by the most distinguished person present, or the host of the banquet. In short, both of these are Josephine, and this party is an occasion for His Majesty Josephine to express her favor. Of course, she must show her demeanor to everyone, and Edward has always been used to partnering with Aunt Josephine, and tonight he is sure that he will play as His Majesty's partner again.

"...Oh." Tang Feiliu breathed out reassuringly, seeing Edward's eyes, immediately flustered and added without silver 300 taels, "I'm just asking casually."

"En. I know." Edward looked at his blue eyes that were moving around, at his increasingly slender waist and long legs set off by the suit, and closed his eyes patiently.

Can't help but look forward to the end of the evening dance party soon.

When Tang Feiliu received Edward's answer, he felt that he had passed the test safely and was not found to be petty. He immediately smiled and praised himself secretly. He didn't know why the Duke next to him patiently closed his eyes.
