Chapter 38 Foresight

 "Tell me, I've wanted to know for a long time." Mrs. Desai said quickly.

"I received an investment from the Louvre. The highest decision-maker is the Supreme Court Justice, Lord Chancellor of the Seal and Minister of Government, Duke Letelier. I am currently in contact with the relevant person in charge, and I may be there soon.

Go to Paris." Alphonse smiled:

"This means that as soon as little William enters law school, I can immediately recommend him to go to the Royal Court for internship. Then, as the contact person of the Chamber of Commerce in Paris, I will arrange for little William to submit a report to the Duke at least once a month;

I don't know if I can see the Duke again and again, but at least once or twice. Then once the Duke sees little William again at the Royal Court."

"Then I can be reused?" Little William's eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted the top leader directly. This promotion was like riding a rocket!

"Regardless of whether you will be reused or not, Duke Letelier will first ask his subordinates to take care of you, because expressing goodwill to you is expressing goodwill to me, which is conducive to the progress of the business anyway." Alphonse smiled: <

/p>

"In this way, you will soon be able to gain a foothold in the Royal Court. Then, we will spend money, whether it is ten thousand livres or one hundred thousand livres, to get you the first place in the law school, even if you cheat on the exam.

, you must also get a scholarship;

Similarly, the Duke of Letelier or His Majesty the King will receive you, and you can take this opportunity to apply to be a judge of the court in the Pierdy region; at this time, I need you to take a year off from school and return to Calais, and I will continue to spend money,

Let you serve as the legal adviser to the mayor of Boulogne and figure out the relationship between the courts in the Pierty Region."

"Why is this?" Little William asked strangely.

"It's very simple, because after that, you went back to law school to complete your second year of study, and your classmates were already in their third year. You immediately recommended your familiar and trustworthy classmates to the Piltover region.

I will arrange the things that are packed into the court;

The important thing is that you get the second scholarship." Alphonse smiled and said: "At this time, Duke Letelier will definitely suggest that you stay in the Royal Court as a judge, and you can recommend a classmate to replace your Pierty.

Magistrate of the Regional Court."

"Two seats?" Little William seemed to understand Alphonse's idea.

"Of course it's not just that. You are in your third year at this time. Among the new classmates in the second year, you find a group of reliable classmates and recommend them to the Royal Court. When you graduate from law school, you will naturally get a group of

A reliable assistant." Alphonse smiled:

"Then you apply to your leader to manage court affairs in the Pieddy Region and activate your connections in the Pieddy Region; as long as someone gets promoted, you promote your people and spend two to three years accumulating them.

.

If you fail to be promoted to Chief Justice in the Royal Court, immediately transfer a judge from the Pierty District Court. Then it is time for us to spend money again. We will donate a nobleman in robes to you, and then return to Boulogne to run for parliament;

Use the connections of the mayor of Boulogne as well. As long as he supports you to become a regional councilor, you can promise to support his son to become a councilor in the future."

"But... I was only... less than 30 years old at that time, right? Can I be a member of Parliament?" William said a little uncertainly.

"This is the importance of being a judge in Pierty District. You can let your people prosecute those who oppose you and temporarily detain them in jail; after you win the election, you can release them immediately and fire the prosecutors.

, let him pack his luggage and report to the Royal Court of Justice in Paris." Alphonse smiled:

"As a regional councilor under thirty years old, you have enough time to consider whether to continue to fight for senators and speakers in the Pierdy region, or to return to Paris and fight for judges of the royal court; you are already a nobleman in robes, it is very easy

If you get a title promotion, as long as the Duke of Letelier is here, you will have the opportunity to become an earl or even a marquis."

"Are you kidding me?" This time it was Fili? Desai's eyes widened, and there was such a magical operation?

"Of course not, I have also calculated the investment cost for this. It is just the first stage of running errands in the Royal Court. My plan is to invest 1,000 livres a month; including treating colleagues to dinner once a week, and

Give gifts to leaders once a month, treat classmates to dinner once a week, and give gifts to all teachers;

In addition, I also participate in some salons with high thresholds, aristocratic banquets, and some business ceremonies on behalf of chambers of commerce. In this way, in three years, it will only be a lifre.

There is also the issue of the scholarship for the first place in the school. It depends on how hard William has studied, ranging from 10,000 livres to 100,000 livres. Considering that he is distracted and multitasking, I think it can be livres.

Three years is lifre." Alphonse continued to calculate the investment:

"Then for the staff of the mayor of Boulogne, my plan is to give 3,000 livres to the mayor, 1,000 livres to the district councilor, 1,000 livres to the district judge, and then prepare 500 livres every month.

Consumption funds;

In addition, livres are used to help young William place at least ten classmates, one of whom is also a court judge. After that, these ten people need to be provided with at least 1,000 livres every month. After little William becomes a judge of the royal court, the amount will be further increased.

to 2000 livres;

In addition, the Royal Court has admitted at least five classmates, and the subsidy is still livres and 1,000 livres, so when little William graduates, our total investment will be 253,000 livres."

"God!" Mrs. Desai could hardly sit still.

"Then starting from his appointment as a judge of the Royal Court, William's monthly consumption funds were increased to 2,000 livres, plus subsidies of 3,000 livres for 15 classmates, a total of 5,000 livres, and additional livres' activity funds were prepared.

Used to give gifts to leaders or possibly participate in royal banquet investments.

This annual investment is livres. My plan is to be promoted in five years. If I am promoted to the judicial chief of the Royal Court, then I don’t need to invest in parliamentarians and robe-wearing nobles. I only need to maintain the annual livres investment. At forty

It will take a total of 20 years to win the earl before the age of 16, and the total cost is 1.6 million livres." Alphonse continued with a smile:

"If you are serving as a councilor for the Pierty region, then the investment will be cheaper. After all, the annual livre activity funds will be saved, and you can also receive some gifts during the holidays. It only costs 1.5 million livres at most.

If you assume the position of earl, you will only need an investment of up to 1.853 million livres from now until you are forty years old to become an earl."

"That's it?" Fili Desai said in a frustrated voice.

"That's all, it's not expensive at all." Alfonse shook his head and said: "Indeed, from our normal thinking, a count can't earn a few thousand livres a year, but it's not even ten thousand or twenty thousand, and he can earn it in a lifetime.

Not that much money.

But little William is not one of those trashy earls. When he became an earl, he was at least the speaker and chief justice of the Pierty region; at the same time, ten of his classmates were at least the chief justices of the court. It can be said that the entire Pielty region

The entire region is under his shadow.

The current royal family's annual finance is 85 million livres, and there are only 19 regions in the country. On average, the annual finance of the Piedmont Region is at least 4 million livres. As long as a 5% donation is extorted from the tax-paying merchants

, 80,000 livres a year was recovered."

"Count, you are going to be a count." Mrs. Desai was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

"Mom, that was more than twenty years later." William rolled his eyes and continued: "Besides, it's just a plan, I haven't even gone to law school yet."

"Go right away, honey, you will go to law school right away, you know?" Mrs. Desai glanced at Philip again. Desai continued: "Don't think about the artillery academy. Going to the battlefield is not suitable for your status."

"How are you sure you can do it? In other words, why little William?" Philip Desai asked the most fatal question again.

"This is a two-way choice. First of all, among those around me who can go to law school, young William is currently the most suitable candidate; and Duke Letelier is also a chance. If I wait until ten years later to find someone to study in Paris,

Are there any opportunities left in law school?" Alphonse curled his lips and said:

"As for why it is Xiao William, the more important thing is that it is not me; I don't want to go, so naturally I have to give the opportunity to a more suitable person."

"This is the earl!" Philip Desai said in a more serious tone.

"But you also said that the earl is not worth 1.8 million livres, but the fact that I can earn so much means that I obviously have a better future than the earl now." Alphonse smiled and patted William on the shoulder and said: "You too

You can consider starting a business and becoming rich like me."

"No, little William wants to be an earl and marry a young lady from an earl's family as his wife." Mrs. Desai answered for little William.

"Mom, that's 1.8 million livres." Little William said helplessly.

"Then ask the tax collector for 10%, my dear, so that you can earn so much in ten years and return it to your brother Alphonse." Mrs. Desai said without hesitation: "There is no other way.

Choice, if possible, you should stay in Paris and become Chancellor of the Finance, and you may earn 2 million livres a year."

"..." Philip Desai didn't want to speak at all. He turned to look at Bardis. Seeing that he had the same expressionless face, he knew that they were in the same boat. Their great dream of military merit and knighthood was given up by this damn money.

Trampled...

"So, Sir Desai, do you have anything else to do if you want to see me this time?" Alphonse looked at Philip Desai again and asked.

"Mrs. Farayette asked me to send you an invitation to the Boulogne auction in the middle of next month. This is an invitation from the Duke of La Rochefoucauld." Philippe Desai had to come up with another decoration.

The exquisite invitation was handed to Alphonse Dao.

"The Duke of La Rochefoucauld? I don't seem to know this big shot." Alphonse said strangely.

"Then congratulations, because big shots know people like you." Philip Desai said angrily.

"You make it seem like I have the right to refuse?" Alphonse smiled.

"Indeed, but I don't recommend you do this, because Prince Condé is also interested in you. I personally think that if you want to marry the Duke of Letelier to prepare for Little William, it is best to choose the Duke of La Rochefoucauld.

Not Prince Condé." Philip Desai rolled his eyes.

"Why did I suddenly get involved with Prince Condé?" Alphonse looked confused.

"It's better not, young man, your influence in the political ecology is unexpectedly great." Philip Desai said speechlessly: "This is the reason why I think you can buy a count with money, not just because

You have money."

"Okay, thank you for your advice." Alphonse finally understood that Philip Desai was actually quite a nice person. He didn't even give him much face today, but he still spoke very clearly.

"Little William is also my brother. Before you really get involved with Duke Letelier, I suggest that little William should not rush to law school. That is not an environment you can understand." Philip Desai added.

A sentence.

Alphonse shrugged and said nothing. In fact, the current French law schools are all educated hooligans. They are either rogue lawyers who fight hooligan lawsuits or rogue judges who work for a fee, or they are rogue judicial officers who serve tax businessmen.

It is more difficult for them to be fair and impartial than to expect Louis XIV to be 1.8 meters tall. Just like Alphonse himself, he used law school as a stepping stone for secret operations from beginning to end, spending money to buy first-class scholarships, spending money to seduce people into the court, and then
