Mystery: Shadow of Order
Chapter 16: Political parties and black tea
"Then I don't know, Mr. Adrian, what kind of housekeeper do you need?"
Rawls had already thought about it last night, and answered without hesitation:
"An experienced steward, preferably one who has served the aristocracy, with a party leaning towards the Conservatives."
For Rawls, the most important of the three requirements he put forward is the party leaning, and only leaning towards the Conservative Party will be more conducive to his future path.
There are two major parties in the Loen Kingdom, one is the Conservative Party, and most of the supporters are hereditary nobles, and every noble is a member of the House of Lords, which is the largest powerful group in the Loen Kingdom. The current Prime Minister, Lord Agusid Negan, is a member of the Conservative Party, and his brother's generation, the Duke of Negan, Pallas Negan, is a major supporter of the Conservative Party.
The other party is the New Party. The members of the New Party are generally some big manufacturers, bankers, barristers, etc., and they are very powerful in the House of Commons.
Of course, this is not absolute. Some of the hereditary aristocrats tend to favor the new party, such as Earl Hall, the father of Audrey "Justice"; some big bankers and factory owners will also fall to the Conservative Party for the title.
As far as Loen's situation is concerned, the Conservative Party is actually far stronger than the New Party, especially with the emergence of the "Corn Bill". The Conservative Party is generally dominated by large landowners, which greatly enhances the Conservative Party's strength.
But for the future, the power of the Conservative Party has been weakened: the "Corn Act" is about to be repealed, the income of the nobles will be significantly reduced, and the funds to support the Conservative Party will also be reduced;
The assassination of Duke Negan dealt a major blow to the Conservative Party, and the successor Duke Negan did not have that much influence at all to unite the Conservative Party. And those hereditary nobles directly chose to stay at home because of Duke Negan's assassination, expressing that they could not accept it.
The repeal of the "Corn Bill" only made the giant Conservative Party muscle atrophy, but the foundation is still there; and the death of Duke Negan directly broke the spine of the Conservative Party, losing the support of the spine, the ribs naturally scattered, and the Conservative Party's internal organs were broken. Let the new party slaughter.
It can be said that even the assassination of Prime Minister Argusid Negan is much stronger than the assassination of Duke Negan, which is why the "Twilight Hermit Society" targets Duke Negan in this way, and successively offered a reward to Negan with two cards of blasphemy. Duke.
Rawls chose the Conservative Party for a very simple reason. Giving help is better than icing on the cake, and in the future, George III will fail to be promoted to the "Dark Emperor", and the strength of the royal family will be reduced.
And all of this will happen very quickly, in just three years. At that time, if according to Rawls's vision, he should have a seat in the Conservative Party and re-establish the order of the Loen Kingdom, he will get involved. .
As for Rawls choosing a housekeeper based on his political inclination, he is not worried about whether he will find a suitable one.
Since its birth, butlers have been linked to politics. They serve the powerful, and naturally they must conform to the wishes of the powerful, and must be consistent with their masters in terms of political inclination; and the butler used to be exclusive to the great aristocracy. Tend to the Conservative Party.
"Such housekeepers are rare, you know, noble families rarely change their own housekeepers, unless they are no longer able to provide effective services, and even if they are not housekeepers, they can hold other positions within the noble family. "
Delia paused and continued:
"In addition, wealthy businessmen are quite eager for similar housekeepers and are willing to offer a premium salary. Mr. Adrian, we do have the type you need here, but the annual salary is at least 100 pounds or more."
"It's no problem for me, as long as it meets my requirements."
For the current Rawls, although money has not yet reached the stage of being just a number, it is basically the same. Unless he spends a lot of money to buy extraordinary items and potion formulas, his liquidity is enough to reach a standard rich level.
With only a few thousand pounds in his hands, Klein dares to pretend to be a rich man, and he can make others think he is a generous person. Rawls can naturally do it. What's more, he also knows a lot of potion formulas. At this stage, he is the only one who sells formulas, and it is even more impossible to buy formulas.
"Okay, I'll prepare the corresponding materials and let Beileen chat with you for a while."
At this time, Beileen also made the marquis black tea she brought from home, brought a white-glazed porcelain teacup with gold flakes, put it in front of Rawls, and said with a small smile:
"It needs to be cold for a while."
Rawls looked down at the cup of Marquis black tea. There were still three or four slices of lemon floating in the red tea soup. With a white-glazed porcelain teacup inlaid with gold pieces, it was a good view. He knew that it was the lemon slices that Belin had added on purpose to neutralize the bitterness of the Filmer coffee, so he smiled and said:
"Just in time to express my gratitude."
"No no no, this is what I should do. The association is not prepared, so you can only drink this. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
Beilein waved her hands quickly, not knowing that her words had already sold the association.
"Did Miss Bailin just come here to work?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, but I don't have much work experience."
Beilein was a little apologetic and aggrieved, she thought it was Rawls who was dissatisfied with her service. But she also took out her treasured black tea. As a gentleman, Rawls should also be considerate of her.
As a "lawyer", Rawls was keenly aware of this change, and chuckled:
"Don't be sorry, I think no matter how good work experience is, it's not as important as this cup of Marquis black tea with lemon slices."
He pointed to the white-glazed porcelain teacup inlaid with gold flakes that was still filled with steam, "Although I haven't tasted it yet, it will definitely satisfy me."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Mr. Adrian's implied compliments and gratitude turned Beilein's mood from cloudy to sunny, and put on a smile again on her face.
Seeing that Beilein still didn't remember that she had sold the association just now, Rawls couldn't help but sighed and told himself that this was not a court, so he couldn't say it so bluntly.
Everything in the Loen Kingdom tends to be conservative, at least on the surface, how to express oneself implicitly is a very important knowledge. Too blunt words will embarrass the two people talking.
Therefore, Rawls could only change the topic and continue the discussion, talking about the rare sun today.
The weather issue has been a popular topic in Backlund for hundreds of years. As the pollution problem has become more and more serious, this topic has been linked to the criticism of Ruen Aguchid's cabinet's lack of progress in controlling air pollution. When it comes to the weather, criticizing the cabinet has become the norm in recent years.
