My name is Ren

Chapter 343 What you see may not be true, and what you hear may not be false
Queen Pars wandered among some of the fence-sitting factions, constantly talking and making promises, and during this period, an unexpected situation occurred.

A congressman approached another congressman with a flushed face. The former roared angrily and scolded the latter.The latter looked helpless and kept shaking his head, and the two sides immediately sparked a conflict.The former sealed the latter's neckline, raised his fist and punched the latter in the face. The latter was unwilling to be beaten, and the two immediately scuffled together.

What's more interesting is that there are not even many people watching, allowing the two to fight together.Many people just watched from a distance, and didn't even have the idea of ​​persuading the fight.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that the two parties must have made some kind of agreement before this, but one party violated the agreement between the two parties.This kind of thing happened from time to time in the Imperial Parliament. It is said that the largest one involved almost all the congressmen. The whole meeting place was in chaos, and all the agendas of the day were cancelled.

Seeing the two of them rolling on the ground without any rules, Ren raised his legs with interest, took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, and took a puff.The strong fragrance lifted his spirits, and the blue smoke turned into beige after turning around in the lung lobes, and slowly sprayed out from the mouth and nose.Behind him, many people took out their pipes or rolled cigarettes, and began to puff.Some people actually ordered dim sum, watching the bustle and tasting the food carefully prepared by the chefs.

Cigarettes are already on the market in the imperial capital to a limited extent. A box of ten exquisite cigarettes costs as much as one gold coin per box.It seems that the price is extremely expensive, and ten cigarettes are not too many for those who like to take a sip if they have nothing to do, so the sales are extremely hot.Almost here, it has just been placed on the counter, and it doesn't take a few minutes to sell out.This is just for retail sales. Many nobles go directly to Rennes to place orders, often with hundreds or thousands of boxes.

Before the cigarettes were fully spread in the empire, Rennes had already made a fortune.

Of course, there are still some nobles who like to use all kinds of exquisite pipes to taste the special strong fragrance of Longdao smoke bricks, but these people are definitely not the main force of consumption.The main force of consumption is the young nobles, who have enough money to squander and the curiosity to pursue new things.Coupled with the fact that cigarettes are more convenient to carry and use, they have been sought after and loved by young people as soon as they hit the market.

Some people privately called Renn a gold aristocrat who desperately wanted money. He set up a commodity monopoly and luxury tax in Ortrenburg, and collected a lot of money for him.Now even the royal family has included some products in the franchise list, which can only be operated by Salcomo appointed by the royal family, which makes Rennes criticized by many people.
These are all suffering from pink eye!

However, Ren didn't feel the slightest pressure, and the benefits of getting it were the most real, and others' jealous words would not cause him any harm.

The two scuffling nobles finally separated, both sides had nosebleeds, and one of them even had the corner of his mouth cracked. The faces of the two were flushed and turned blue. They pointed at each other's nose and yelled a few words before returning to their seats. .

The small turmoil subsided quickly, and the nobles who kept wandering back and forth offered higher prices one by one, hoping to get more supporters.

"It's embarrassing for you to do this." Pelagos sat next to Isaac, his face was a little worried, and when he opened his eyelids, it seemed to be scraped from the surface of the eyeball, "What else do you want? "

Isaac chuckled a few times and shook his head, "Don't you think the price you offered is humiliating me?" He was quite disdainful, he lifted his feet heavily on the table, and leaned back , The chair under the buttocks only has two legs on the ground, and there is a possibility of overturning at any time.Isaac, who was born on the northwest frontier, has a rudeness that southerners do not have, but it is more of a mask that hides himself deeply. The elite education received by the nobles will not make them rude.

Rudeness is just Isaac's way of disguising his true nature.

Pelagos smiled calmly, "Seven-thousandth share, no more."

What he was talking about was the share of Tiberium spar veins in Bell Province. As the most scarce strategic material in the empire, almost every noble with lofty goals and pursuits would desperately accumulate them.The effect of this kind of thing is far more than what ordinary people can imagine.Whether it is the operation of various magic bases or the consumption of magic items, Tiberium spar is an indispensable part.Without this thing, many magical devices are as meaningless as stones.

Seven thousandths, this share is already very high, how much does Pelagos hold in his own hand?

"Then make a price." Pelagos picked up the teacup and concealed the emotional changes in his eyes while lowering his head to drink tea.Isaac is really too greedy, and the [-]/[-] share is enough to make many people change their positions, but he is not satisfied.

Isaac stretched out a finger, "One percent share, I support you unconditionally."

"Dream, [-] out of [-], absolutely no more!", Pelagos' self-cultivation is extremely high, he didn't get angry when facing Isaac who was demanding a price, and the hand holding the teacup was so steady that he couldn't even shake it. No.

Isaac smiled indifferently, put his legs away and stood up, glanced at Queen Pars who was actively canvassing votes, and walked towards Her Majesty the Queen.Pelagos laughed, he has his plan, and now is not the time for the final battle, "Nine out of a thousand, if there is more, you can go to Her Majesty, she will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Isaac paused, turned around and sat back on the chair, with a playful smile on his face, "Isn't it okay to say that earlier? Nine out of a thousand?" He slapped the table, and the loud noise made It attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't care at all, "Negative vote, right, I'll listen to you this time, haha..."

The northwest of the empire is full of Gobi and deserts, and there are no valuable mineral veins, let alone the strategic resource Tiberium spar known as the "Star of Magic".Isaac has been jealous of the mineral veins in Bell Province for a long time, but he has no excuses, otherwise he can really bite off the quota shamelessly.

Facing the nobles from all over the Northwest who lack Tiberium spar, Tiberium spar is the greatest control of the royal family over them. They are fixed and rationed every month, and there is no extra one, which makes many nobles feel angry and have nowhere to live.They didn't dare to speak out against the royal family. Brothers Grace and Greene were both on the western front after all. If they provoked the revenge of these two loyal lackeys of the royal family, the loss would be too great.

If he could get even a [-]/[-] quota, it would be enough to bring Isaac's dominance in the aristocratic group in the northwest of the empire to a higher level.All he needs to do is to prevent the passage of this bill and let everyone vote against it, with a little effort!
The fourth round of voting officially started soon. This time, the result of the voting was reversed once again. Those nobles who could be traded once again proved that there is no difference between nobles and rogues.

The counting of votes was still going on in a strange way, and the nobles who voted seemed to be following a certain agreement. The result of the fourth vote was still stalemate, and the opposition once again led the vote with a slight advantage.

Naturally, voting will continue for an extended round, beginning the fourth break.

Faced with such a result, Isaac obviously realized that he might have been cheated.All his people voted against it, but to his surprise, some of Pelagos' people actually voted for it.If this is an accident, then Pelagos is definitely humiliating Isaac's IQ. It is obvious that Pelagos has a farther plan, and it is not as simple as objecting.He was balancing the votes for and against, just as Isaac had done before.

Ren was also relieved, and he glanced at Empress Pars, who had a slight smile on her lips, holding a wisdom pearl, and looked at the congressmen in the venue gracefully and dignifiedly.

It's like three people discussing whether to buy a luxurious house. Someone clearly affirmed the answer, while someone seemed to firmly oppose it, while the third person wavered.The three people are not actually facing the same problem.

People who clearly stated that they want to buy a house really want to express the act of "buying a house", not necessarily buying "this house".Those who are firmly opposed are against "buy this house", not "buy this house".As for those who are undecided, his position is not hesitating whether to buy "this house", but how to spend the least money to buy the most suitable house.

The three people seem to have different positions, but in fact the contradictions between them can be reconciled.If the "homebuyer" chooses a house that the "swinger" can fancy, and it is not a house that the "anti-homebuyer" does not want to buy, then the positions of the three people will be unified .

Empress Pars's attitude is now very clear, that is, to do her best to promote the reform of the Imperial Parliament through the Imperial Parliament.The attitude of Pelagos is not that this plan cannot be passed, but that his appeal is passed in his own way.Isaac has almost figured it out by now, so he needs to seek more favorable benefits instead of being left behind by both parties.

The seemingly simple situation is actually full of a kind of compromise wisdom. The game between the three parties is full of deceit and schemes. Except for Queen Pars, the other two parties have no firm position. What they need is a step.The ever-changing positions of the MPs are just a manifestation of their pursuit of maximizing their interests.
