Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 262 Before the Bidding
Now that I have made up my mind, it will be done quickly.

As the lord of the north, Purfict wrote several pioneering documents simply as a matter of course.

But this time, considering that it was to be given to those big businessmen and the money was to be taken from their hands, Purficott also thoughtfully replaced the document paper with special paper made by alchemy, which could not be torn by hand or burned by fire. Injury, water logging, not getting wet, what you want is something that cannot be changed.

For those businessmen, you have to figure out their psychology. If you can spend 50,000 gold pounds to buy a development document, you won't mind spending another 30,000 gold pounds to buy a deluxe version, or even another 50,000 gold pounds to buy a supreme deluxe version. version.

Everyone has a comparison mentality. You and I are both pioneer knights. Your document is written on a random piece of parchment, and mine is written on a serious alchemy paper. Invisibly, I am one step ahead of you. files.

This is also the reason why some people only buy the expensive ones but not the right ones, and they only want the most expensive ones but not the best ones.

Most of those businessmen who suddenly became rich lacked accumulation. Many of them only became rich in their own generation, so they lacked sufficient accumulation in terms of style of conduct and luxury enjoyment.

In fact, not only them, but also the nobles lack the so-called accumulation.

The reason is also very simple, because everyone only became truly rich after the industrial revolution. Were you rich before that?
The king had to wait for a place to pay tribute to eat fish. There was a king in history who ate too many lampreys at one time and ate himself to death because they were so delicious.

Even the king is like this, and ordinary nobles can naturally imagine it.

Because of this, everyone is actually a nouveau riche, but the aristocrats are several generations richer, and coupled with the constraints of aristocratic etiquette, the aura of rich people is not so strong.

Only the truly top nobles can accumulate enough wealth to make their lives rise with the growth of wealth.

Purficott had no intention of criticizing or commenting on this phenomenon. She only cared about how much benefit it could bring to herself and how much help it could bring to the development of the northern border.

This is why in the original world, even in the third industrial revolution, the so-called fashion trends and top luxury enjoyment are still in the hands of the so-called aristocrats, and the so-called aristocratic style is still sought after.

In order to make this matter more influential, she also asked the old housekeeper to release the news, saying that in order to celebrate the opening of the commercial airship route between the Northern Territory and the Empire's mainland, the Northern Territory Lords specially took out five development cards. The knight's appointment document will be auctioned at the subsequent maiden voyage celebration ceremony.

It's just that the nobles used to have a little gold clay on their faces, and now it's more convenient to stick it on, but the businessmen don't have that much convenience. It's not an exaggeration to say that they lack the background.

The news soon spread back to Langton and also to the New World.

But now, everyone is still trying their best to put gold on their faces and make themselves look superior and wealthy.

But this is now. If there is no such thing as the apocalyptic winter, it will take a few decades for the first industrial revolution to be completed and the first generation of capitalists to complete the accumulation of wealth. Then, like Brandlis before, Rural aristocrats like the family will really become rich and wealthy, but these big businessmen will gradually become representatives of wealth and fashion.

It can't be said that there was a sudden storm, but it was also a stone that stirred up thousands of waves.

For some people, the status of aristocrats is not something they care about. After all, they are all aristocrats, but some have higher titles and others have lower titles. But after all, they are all aristocrats and belong to the same circle.

But for those who don't have it, even the lowest level of knighthood is a stepping stone to the aristocratic class. Obtaining it means being able to enter that upper class circle and be superior to others from now on. This is not about imitating the life of an aristocrat and pretending to be an aristocrat, but actually entering the aristocratic circle.

For nobles, having a title and not having a title are two completely different things, even if you are the heir.

Therefore, facing the five titles offered by the Earl of the North, countless people flocked to them.

But obviously not everyone has the opportunity.

The reason is also very simple. Purficott is talking about auctioning these five pioneering knight documents at the celebration ceremony for the first flight of the airship route. So if you want to buy one of them, you must at least appear at the celebration ceremony, right? At the worst, you have to send someone on site who can bid for you, right?

If you can't do this, how can you buy it? You can’t just say that someone took the photo on the spot and then you buy it from someone else, right?

Everyone knows the benefits of a title, but who would spend a lot of money to get it and then sell it?
Therefore, this invisibly eliminated a large number of people who could not rush to the North or send people to the North on the same day.

The only ones who can really appear on such an occasion, apart from those who caught up with the first airship's maiden voyage, are the big businessmen and big capitalists who sent people to the north.

They are all people with great hands and eyes, and they can mobilize a lot of resources. At this time, they will naturally spare no effort to exert their efforts.

There is a radio on the airship, which was originally prepared to facilitate communication. However, usually passengers cannot use it at will, but rules are often more convenient in the face of money.

Therefore, the representatives on the airship who were originally sent to perform survey tasks naturally received new tasks. At the same time, each company also received a rough budget and the amount of overspending.

After all, Purficott said it was an auction, so preparing some funds or resources that can be converted has become the preparation that must be made in advance to win the auction.

It's just that it's not these capitalists and factory owners who can really mobilize a large amount of resources, but the real nobles.

They could also mobilize resources and send people to the north, but they did not do so. Instead, they sent the telegram directly to Purficott.

The nobles from the royal capital were interceding with Perficott, trying to get a decent title for their second son or illegitimate son.

After all, there is only one title in the family, and the hereditary title can only be passed on to the eldest son. The remaining sons or illegitimate sons can only pay a sum of money and be self-reliant.

Now that there was a chance to obtain a title, how could they just watch?
Of course it is easy and hassle-free to just spend money to buy it, but to compete with those merchants, not to mention that you may not have enough financial resources, there are only five titles in total, and whoever can buy it will not be able to buy it. This will hurt the peace, and it is not decent.

It's different to go directly to Purficott in private. Since the Northern Lords can offer five knighthoods for sale, it means that they can find a way from Purficott. As long as there is a price, it's easy to talk about the rest. It's nothing more than an exchange of interests, the trick that nobles are best at.
