"I still miss Backlund occasionally, but mainly I miss my father, I miss my mother, I miss you, I miss those few years, you made me feel better with a smile, you must have become the most dazzling gem in Backlund, But unfortunately, it may take two years before I can come back, career is a man's self-esteem, and the outstanding young people of Loen Kingdom use the world as their stage."

...

"You can tell our dear aunt that the coastal area of ??the Balam Empire is very suitable for vacation, and it is very suitable for her joints that are sore and swollen every winter. I sincerely invite her to be a guest. It would be even better if you can join her gone."

...

"I didn't send you too many gifts, mainly something with a strong Balam style, such as the characteristic yellow silk, such as accessories full of death worship."

"I remember that you have always liked things about mysticism. I will help you pay attention. There are too many mysteries in the folklore here."

...

After reading the letter, Audrey picked up the pad, pen and paper, leaned against the back of the sofa, pursed her lips, and wrote earnestly: "My dearest Alfred:"

"Although less than a year has passed, the little girl in your memory has grown up and no longer likes things in mysticism. You don't need to collect similar things."

Because it's very dangerous... Audrey puffed her cheeks and added in her heart.

During this period of time, she heard too many tragedies that occurred due to mysterious things in the Extraordinary gatherings and in the narrations of Xio and Forsi.

She thought for a while, and then excitedly announced: "My current interest is in the field of biology. Recently, I am particularly fascinated by the sub-dragons such as the colorful lizard. You can help me find out where I can find similar creatures, or where they are preserved. An intact body."

After sharing some interesting things and gossip among the nobles, Audrey stopped writing and pretended to be thinking about it seriously.

Relying on the excellent memory of the "audience", she sorted out fragments of words and occasional teachings from her father Earl Hall, and sorted out some of the news heard at banquets, dances, and salons, and organized them into paragraphs.

After finishing the draft, Audrey wrote: "The political situation in Backlund you asked about is not within the scope of my interest. I can only describe to you the details that I know by chance based on my impressions."

"Just some time ago, my father told me that after the repeal of the "Corn Act", food prices plummeted, and the rent standards for fields and pastures also fell off a cliff. I don't know the exact extent, but I can only give you an example. clear."

"You know, the Duke of Negan is the nobleman who owns the most land outside the royal family. He claims to have more than 12 million pounds of fields, pastures and forests. Last year, his land rent income reached the highest level ever, 1.3 million pounds. And this year, the foreseeable total land rent income is 850,000 pounds, a full reduction of 450,000 pounds, which has exceeded all the property I can share."

"I don't need to explain further, my dear brother, you must understand the characteristics of most of the old-fashioned nobles. They are proud of owning land, mainly relying on land rent income, and decent is more important than anything else. Even if they are in debt, they must maintain enough money. A life that matches one's own status, castle repair costs in the tens of thousands of pounds per year, clothing and jewelry expenses of tens of thousands of pounds per year, and persistent hunting activities, social banquets, occasional grand weddings, extravagant funerals, etc., etc., etc. "

"Due to the serious decline in land rent income, as far as I know, some nobles have encountered financial difficulties. For this reason, Earl Wolfe sold 840,000 acres of land in the countryside and received 290,000 gold pounds. The �55,000 collection was sold to the National Gallery."

"Except for a small number of enterprising aristocrats who have already shifted their focus to steel, coal, railways, banks, rubber and other industries, everyone else has suffered serious damage in this "Corn Bill" storm. Let us praise us here Dear Lord Hall!"

"Father told me that financial difficulties will reduce the aristocracy's control over party politics and seats in the House of Commons. It is conceivable that the number of members of the landed aristocracy will be greatly reduced in the next year's election."

"In order to raise funds, the Conservative Party and the New Party have promised that no matter who has no criminal record and donates enough money, they will seek knighthood for each other. Of course, the premise is that the gentleman has the minimum land to match the knighthood area."

"An example is that the wealthy Mr. Syndras purchased the minimum 600,000 hectares of land required for a baronetship, and then donated 100,000 gold pounds to the Carlton Club and 400,000 pounds to the Conservative Party. 300,000 pounds, and finally succeeded in obtaining His Majesty's imperial seal, becoming a distinguished baron. In this regard, I heard that there is a price list, from 300,000 pounds for a baron, 700,000 to 1,000,000 pounds for a hereditary baron, and none for viscounts and earls. Definite answer, but I think it's certainly exaggerated enough."

...

"In this year, many nobles with financial problems began to seriously consider the possibility of associating with wealthy businessmen. In just two months, there were three similar marriages. The dowry of the woman is very coveted."

"Furthermore, the workers who marched against the Corn Bill did get a reduction in the price of food, but their quality of life did not improve, or even decreased, as bankrupt farmers moved into the cities, robbed jobs, and wages for the working class have plummeted.�

"I remember that day, after talking about these things, my father asked me, who do you think is the winner of this "Corn Bill" incident?"

"Dear Alfred, you must know the answer, and you must also rely on your own efforts to obtain a hereditary title."
