When the prisoners of war led by Polkha were conducting the second phase of "ideological transformation" at the Charles Town Training Camp, the Charles family territory gradually returned to peace.

At the same time, Li Wei began to plan for the next plan.

Martin Clive, Anne's biological father, relied on investing in Levi, the legitimate son of Earl Charles, and sold a large amount of arms to Levi, thus becoming the president of the Charles Town Commercial Guild.

The business scope covers the entire Charles family territory!

In the province of Morbien in the Brittany region of the Kingdom of France, Martin, the president of the business guild, was not a figure at all. At most, he was a rich man in the countryside. However, with the support of Levi, Martin was already at the top in the Charles family territory.

Now that Joseph and his group have been cleaned, Martin has become the second person in Charles town.

Martin not only controls all the gun workshops and gunpowder workshops in Charles Town, but also the helmsman of the underground criminal forces in Charles Town, and has hundreds of gunmen under his command!

These gunmen are usually the gangsters and guards under Martin who sell arms transporting weapons. They often fight with bandits and have a combat power far exceeding those wastes in public security facilities.

Of course, for a businessman like Martin who has no aristocratic status, if he really wants to make trouble, he will definitely be suppressed as soon as possible!

In fact, Martin who was able to grow to this point was the result of Li Wei's support. Li Wei's support of Martin was not only to buy arms in large quantities to save money, but also to cultivate his confidants in Charles' town.

Unfortunately, in the French Kingdom before the outbreak of the Paris Revolution, the status of merchants was not as good as that of capitalists and factory owners, let alone compared with the nobles. Joseph and his group did not regard Martin as their opponents at all.

At this time, the underground tycoon with a peaceful face but unknown how many lives were stained with, like a trained child, stood at Li Wei's desk with a top hat in his hands and a flattering smile on his face.

"Mr. Clive, don't be nervous. We are old friends, so we can find a chair to sit down."

In the Western world, only close people will call each other's name directly, and say hello in public, and they will use the current surname to decorate them.

However, there are also surprises here, for example, the nobles who are superior will not be bound by this kind of constraint.

Some nobles like to let others call themselves, use their own aristocratic title, or the place name of the aristocratic fief, or even directly call their own name, thus distinguishing it from their own family.

Of course, there are very few latter ones, and Li Wei is such a person!

This kind of nobleman who likes to let others call his name instead of his surname is either arrogant or confident in himself. He does not want outsiders to remind him of the glory of the family behind him.

For example, the Napoleon Emperor in the world history of Li Wei's previous life liked to outsiders to call him Napoleon instead of Bonaparte, because the family was nothing to Napoleon. He supported a family alone, not the family brought glory to him!

After Levi came to the Charles family territory, he emphasized that outsiders must call themselves Baron Levi, or Lord Levi, Your Excellency, etc., and must use his name as a prefix instead of his surname!

This is also one of the reasons why Joseph's old men in the Charles family were dissatisfied with Li Wei. They only thought that Li Wei was the descendant of a nobleman who was a rebellious period, and relied on being the only male member of the Charles family's direct line.

However, as the infantry regiments on the front line formed an army and showed fanatical loyalty to Li Wei, the title of Li Wei as a prefix gradually spread, and no one dared to say that Li Wei was an arrogant person.

Having a gun in your hand can ultimately shock most people.

Just Joseph relied on the prestige of Count Charles behind him and did not surrender to Levi, and then he died...

Martin Clive is Anne's father. Strictly speaking, Martin can be regarded as Levi's father-in-law.

However, Anne is not Levi's official wife, and she cannot become Levi's official wife.

In this era, it is impossible for a noble child who has the first legal inheritance and has a formal aristocratic status to marry a commoner woman as his wife, which may affect his inheritance rights!

A match between the two is particularly important in this era. Europe is a society that emphasizes bloodline.

Therefore, no matter how good Annie and Levi have a relationship, they will always be just a personal maid. Even if they give birth to a baby boy for Levi, they are also children of illegitimate children and will not have any inheritance rights.

Levi's father, Earl Charles, left many concubines for Levi in ​​Paris, and they all relied on Earl Charles' income to live and wait for death. The biggest wish in their life was to rely on their cheap father to get a palace title or become a civil servant in the capital government.

Even if the nobles were born in the common people, the starting point would be higher than that of the real civilians.

At least there are people in the government, and work is not a problem!

In that harmonious society in the 21st century, there were countless children who went through the back door to work, let alone this decadent and backward era?

Government jobs are not comparable to those in industries such as business and factory operations. If you join the government, you will have a perfect job and you will have the opportunity to be promoted to power. Unlike doing business and factory operations, you may lose all your underwear!

Therefore, most of the rise of the civilian class in this era relies on doing business, running factories, and even speculation to enter the financial industry that the aristocracy is not familiar with. It is difficult for those government offices to intervene, and there is the cake of the two major classes above.

Of course, the same is true for the military system, and the officer level has almost always been firmly controlled by the aristocratic class.

Even though the Paris Revolution is now victorious, the noble officers in the army are still not washed away.

Unless the aristocratic class in the French Kingdom completely collapsed, these "cancers" would not be eradicated.

Because of this, Martin did not expect Anne to blow too much pillow to herself. He also contacted Li Wei many times. This is a master who does not show off his rabbit and does not show off his eagle. If you want benefits, you have to give out real benefits to exchange.

Of course, Martin was not disgusted with this. In this era, he was exploited by a serious traditional nobleman. That was an opportunity for many nouveau riche to squeeze in their heads and fight for!

After seeing Martin sitting down with some restraint, Levi smiled and said, "Charles Town has cleared out the rebels' enemies, and it is still inappropriate for long-term military control. Joseph and many town government officials have died in the war.

I wonder if Mr. Clive is interested in serving as the mayor of Charles Town?
