The children left soon after their father's permission. Each of them wanted to prove that they were the most suitable successor.

After the children left, the governor was still sitting in his chair, his elbow pressed on the armrest, and his jaw was supported by the tiger's mouth. He was thinking about something.

After the housekeeper came in, he cleaned the study again. There are some very important things here. The maid is not allowed to come in.

Looking at the housekeeper who was about to leave, the governor suddenly asked a question, "who do you think is the best way?"

Just now, when the governor asked about the solutions for the five children, the housekeeper was outside the door, and the governor didn't avoid him. In fact, sometimes the housekeeper knows much more confidential things than his children.

The housekeeper bent slightly and lowered his head, "Sir, I don't understand these."

The governor smiled, "you know, you know better than anyone else, and you know better than them..." he sighed, a little melancholy.

The housekeeper grew up with him. When he was about eight or nine years old, the housekeeper began to follow him and serve him. At first, he was to protect him.

At that time, the mutual expedition and struggle between the ruling classes of the whole country had become stable, but there were still some aftershocks. Various conspiracies and framed attacks would occur from time to time.

It's better to rely on yourself than to let a provincial governor father with many children care about a son's physical and mental growth and whether he is safe.

To say a cruel word, when the governor, including his father, his grandfather and even the children who will inherit his position later, in the face of power and family, which may be difficult for most people, they will not hesitate to choose power.

As long as you have power, you can have as many families as you want.

From small to large, the housekeeper actually filled some emotional problems missing in the growth of future generations in the power family to some extent, including the feelings between father and son, brothers and families.

They are not relatives, but they are better than relatives.

But... They are not relatives after all, especially for those in power. The housekeeper knows this very well, so he never talks much.

Even if the governor's children make many mistakes, he will only punish them and make them feel bad. However, once the housekeeper makes mistakes, he and his family are likely to disappear. Therefore, he will not take the governor's sometimes emotional feelings as the truth unless he doesn't want to live.

Looking at the housekeeper always bending over and lowering his head, the governor was a little angry and disappointed. He felt a little dull. He changed his sitting position and moved his shoulders. "What's the boss doing recently?"

The housekeeper's heart is tight. If this remark comes from an ordinary family, it may be that the old father is concerned about the eldest son's recent work and life, but in such a centralized power family, it means that the owner's attitude towards the eldest son has changed.

"The young master is keen to participate in some salons recently..." the housekeeper lowered his head slightly when talking. It's not that he lied. He didn't dare to lie in front of the governor. He was just a little worried about the governor's eldest son.

The governor frowned, "salon?"

"Yes, actually it's just chatting together. The organizer will list a theme and everyone will talk about their own views around this theme.", although it can't be said that the housekeeper's description is completely correct, it's not bad.

The governor sneered, "just looking for a reason to eat, drink and have fun!" he made a very accurate determination, and then his eyebrows tightened together again, "who are the organizers?"

Who else can it be? Just some businessmen. These businessmen know how to use their wealth in exchange for influence. They set up various clubs and salons and regularly held various recreational activities in this backward and foolish place of nagaril.

For this backward and poor country, all entertainment and information from developed countries have become their favorite goals, and activities such as clubs and salons meet their needs.

The latest magazines, the latest records, the latest film tapes, and even some things you can't see outside can be seen here.

These people have become loyal partners of businessmen. Businessmen never ask them, and people are more and more willing to participate in these activities.

But even these seemingly harmless activities that can know many people still make the governor's expression unhappy.

Human life is very fragile, which he knows more than others. Before he was 30, he never considered the problem of death. He felt that death was far away from himself.

Before he was forty, he didn't think that one day he would be short of energy. At that time, even if he didn't rest all night, he was at best a little tired.

Before the age of 50, he didn't pay so much attention to his body. He felt very healthy. He couldn't find him when he was sick!

But now he understands that life is fragile. What are the intentions of these businessmen to win over the descendants of those in power? In fact, everyone knows very well, whether they have the opportunity or not.

Because opportunities are created by people.

The governor wiped his face, "let people stare at him. In addition, I think there is something wrong with the recent situation. Arrange more guards..."

He said and looked at the housekeeper. Without looking up, the housekeeper could feel the sharp eyes of the governor. The eyes poked him like a knife, which made his heart beat faster and his mouth dry.

"I know what to do!" he answered.

The governor's expression eased a little, "you know me. We grew up together. You're like my brother. Sometimes you don't have to be so careful."

The housekeeper looked up quickly at the governor, and then lowered his head, "Sir, I'm a servant."

"Well, well, it's up to you. Let the two girls press it for me again. After sitting for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable..." he complained and stretched out his hand, "come on, give me a hand."

While the governor was chatting with his children, someone also found Lynch.

Looking for him is a local businessman, a foreign businessman named Simon.

Lynch found a very interesting phenomenon. Mr. Simon also included some businessmen from other places he met. They were more enthusiastic about wearing local traditional clothes than locals.

In fact, in a sense, this practice is to express a message that everyone is "their own people". They are seeking a sense of identity.

In many ways, there is no more direct and effective means than "cultural identity", so they are more keen to wear indigenous traditional clothes than others.

Looking at the magic card hanging on Mr. Simon's chest, Lynch felt it was necessary to hang it, at least it represented his recognition and support for indigenous culture.

"Mr. Lynch, I wonder if I have disturbed your rest?", Mr. Simon's tone is very soft and polite.

He is a man in his forties, about five feet six inches tall (about one meter seven, it is customary to round up an inch), fat and white.

Lynch greeted him, reached out and shook hands with him, "of course not..." they simply exchanged greetings and sat in the reception hall.

In fact, Mr. Simon's visit has something to do with mishahaye. Behind him is another family. He reported the affairs between him, Lynch and the governor's son.

At this time, if something happens in the future, he may have to carry it by himself. The people above know that they can help him block it.

If a third person knows, there will be a fourth, a fifth and more. Soon Mr. Preston also knew about it. He immediately sent someone to visit Lynch and see Lynch's attitude.

If they can cooperate, they will unite and become reliable business partners, and they don't mind sharing a little to satisfy Lynch's appetite.

If they can't cooperate, they have to start preparing for some disposal, so anyway, first try to find out Lynch's attitude.

Mr. Simon is a big businessman in the province of Magura. He is mainly responsible for the spice export business here.

Every year, a large number of spices here will enter the international market through his hands. Those spices that may only be 30 or 50 galilees locally can be sold at a price of 100 or 1000 times in the twinkling of an eye after some gimmicks, some packaging and some speculation.

The merchants used every means to pursue profits. They even courted the royal families of several small countries and asked them to designate some spices and commodities to be used by the royal family or for the exclusive use of the royal family by sharing profits.

This has greatly improved the value of some commodities in the international market. People say that feudal rule is backward, but everyone wants to make himself more noble and make his life full of noble atmosphere.

There is no doubt that the use of goods dedicated to the king's room and the royal family is the simplest, most direct and most effective method.

But these people may not know that the royal family or royal family they look up to may not be much more powerful than their mayor.

The national population of some small countries is even less than that of an international metropolis. You can imagine the grade of these royal families and royalty. It is said that there are also kings who grow their own land!

The semi monopoly business has brought Mr. Simon huge wealth, but now he has encountered some dangers, endangering his business.

He didn't show those in his heart on his face. Every businessman and politician is the best actor. They can always show the most appropriate expression at the most appropriate time.

"Mr. Lynch, do you know Preston firm?"
