Even people who don't know the truth can feel that there is something wrong with Loen's atmosphere recently. Not only the powerful dukes or representatives on the frontier frequently return to Loen, but also the daily newspapers. In addition to disaster relief news, frequent personnel transfers in the parliament and city hall can also make any politically sensitive citizen feel the wind and rain. want to come.
His Majesty the King did not make any public appearances after the attack that opened the Ice and Snow Festival that day. While the royal family and the government are saying that His Majesty the King is safe and sound, that doesn't mean everyone believes him.
Fortunately, there is no good image editing technology in this era, so the photo of Dolores' father appeared on the front page, barely suppressing the restless atmosphere in the kingdom.
But now even the small townspeople in Nolan like to talk about the affairs of the Hampavo Kingdom as a daily pastime. Jenkins believes that there are definitely many people who know the physical condition of Salsi II, and even if they don't know, based on his recent unusual decrees and performance, smart people can probably guess it.
After breakfast, I wrote a new speech in Dolores' study. In order to concentrate, even the chocolates were locked out of the study. But he just forgot to close the window of the study, so after a while, the cat "flyed" in through the window. Jenkins swore that the appearance of the cat swooping into the window was not much different from flying.
It felt relieved when it saw Jenkins, and then shrunk into a small hairball and lay down beside Jenkins's hand. It didn't wake up until Jenkins finished writing the last word, and then meowed and stomped back and forth on the paper manuscripts.
The ladies were not idle in the morning either, and they were also present at the speeches. For such an important occasion, clothing and decoration must be appropriate. None of them are procrastinators. In one morning, they not only chose clothes for themselves, but even contacted the Church of the Sages, and even prepared Jenkins' clothes.
"Oh, this hairdo... cute."
See Dolores again, in a fluffy dress of pale blue, with the lower third of her hair curled somehow. This hairstyle can't be said to suit her very well, but because she is used to long and straight hair, it can also give Jenkins a bright feeling.
"Jenkins, it's best not to use the word 'cute' to describe grown women in the future."
Alexia reminded that she and Julia had also chosen clothes for themselves, while Jenkins' clothes were in his bedroom. After getting dressed, Julia brought a team of maids to Jenkins' bedroom and let him sit in front of the big exaggerated makeup mirror. The maids took turns painting his face with things he couldn't recognize. and hair.
"Actually, that's fine. I'm not used to using cosmetics."
Jenkins whined to Alexia in a low voice, and the short woman stood aside with her arms folded, looking into Jenkins' face in the mirror.
"It's an important occasion, even if it's for Dolores' sake that you'll have to accept the arrangement... Does chocolate need makeup? I don't think you'd keep it at home."
"Give me a brand new little comb in a moment, it must be new, no one else has used it, and no other cat has used it. I'll just brush Chocolate, Alexia, I know you want Say what, but I've tried countless times to put bows or bells on it, but it never worked out, and I've given up on the chocolate decoration problem."
When Julia personally picked up the lipstick and approached Jenkins, he finally couldn't help but jumped up from the stool, and swore to the sage that he would be angry.
So in the end, I just asked the maid to take care of her hair, and even the powder on her face was rejected by Jenkins. But Dolores thought it was a good outfit, except that Alexia did the final job of fixing Jenkins' bow tie.
Dolores swears she saw her teacher fly up to bring their eyes into line.
After dressing up, it was lunch time, and after lunch, the group was ready to enter the city surrounded by motorcades. On the way, Dolores also reminded Jenkins that there will be a lot of people present today, so there will be some malicious people.
"At the end of the presentation there was a Q&A session, which I would have liked to cancel, but it was against the rules."
Dolores said in embarrassment.
"I understand that, in fact, any speaker will be wary of the questioning session at the end, because they never know who their audience is."
First, I went to Dolores' club in the city to meet her supporters and followers. After receiving some flattery, I headed towards the House.
More than a week has passed since the riot that day, but the impact of the two shells that fell on the city has not been eliminated. The destroyed blocks and the building rubbish on the Parliament Square have been cleaned up, and now the open space in front of the House has expanded by more than five times.
Scaffolding is erected on the outside of the building that needs to be repaired. Workers push their wheelbarrows and walk on the special construction passage. It is very busy here. Workers in old clothes with dusty faces meet with nobles in gorgeous clothes passing by. Converging on the same street, it also looks amazing.
The carriage came from the avenue on the other side and stopped safely in front of the stone steps of the House. Jenkins, who got off the carriage first, looked back at the bustling square like a parking lot and the hole blocked by the fence in the center, wondering when it would be fully restored.
Because of the large audience, the speech took place directly in the main hall of the House of Representatives. The structure here is similar to that of the institution of the same name in Jenkin's world. , around the podium in the center, the rows of seats are raised one by one, until the seats near the wall are the highest row.
When Jenkins was about to go in, the inside was already full of voices. Alexia gave Jenkins an encouraging look, and then walked towards the gentlemen and ladies who stood up to greet them with Dolores.
"Ahem~"
He coughed a few times to test the sound, and the cat squatting on his shoulder straightened up. As Jenkins entered through the side door, those who noticed him began to applaud.
When he walked up to the central podium and put his manuscript on the stage, everyone stood up and applauded, and some even took off their hats to insist on Jenkins,
The young man under the light took a deep breath and looked around from the left to the standing people. The black formal attire was the main sight in front of him, and a very small number of ladies were also in serious skirt attire.
There were very few young people, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people. Most of them stared at Jenkins' face and applauded slowly and evenly, as if they were considering whether the young people who were also looking at them were worthy of clapping.
According to the etiquette, open the right arm and tilt it outward, bend the left arm back and put the fingertips together on the chest, then bow slightly, and the applause disappears immediately. In whispers, people sat down one by one, waiting for Jenkins to speak.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies."
In the usual opening remarks, Jenkins' voice was loud and clear, and his accent was close to Ruen's local dialect, which he had learned from Dolores in the past six months.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Combined with specific cases, Jenkins perfectly presented the prepared speech on financial fraud and anti-fraud.
Just those examples that have never been in this world are fresh enough for the listeners. Coupled with the proper nouns he deliberately complicates the definition, and the laws and principles that are explained in three circles, this is enough to be called a speech with enough connotations.
Time flies, and once you open your mouth, you don't realize the passage of time. During the period, there were two breaks for the audience to go to the bathroom, and Jenkins could also drink saliva, and when he finished all the content to be said and greeted the audience again, the sun was already setting outside the window.
Continuous applause erupted around the spacious hall like shrapnel from a bomb. Jenkins faced the applause with a smile, then raised his hands and pressed his palms down slightly, the applause gradually disappeared naturally.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very glad to be able to pass on the meager knowledge I know to you in this place full of glory. I am invited by Her Highness Dolores Stuart to live in Loen for a period of time." Time, if you have any questions, you can write to me. Of course, if you have any questions about my speech just now, you can speak now, and I will answer."
All of you here are decent people with status and status. Naturally, no one will ask embarrassing questions such as "What is your relationship with the third princess?" in such a public place. The questioners in the front row answered those questions one by one.
He himself doesn't know much about Ponzi schemes, but because he has personally operated it once, there is no problem with the system's explanation. It's just that most of the questions asked by those questioners are too weird. The old gentleman who seems to be the oldest asked very straightforwardly:
"What should be done to completely prevent those liars from appearing again?"
I'm afraid even God can't answer this question, let alone Jenkins... It seems that he can barely be called God. As long as the greedy heart of human beings does not disappear, greedy people will always plan deceptions, and greedy people will always step into deceptions.
It is impossible to eradicate such scams, but if you just want to use a reasonable legal and regulatory system to suppress this type of crime to a minimum, then Jenkins can still give a decent answer.
According to the original plan, the final question time will be determined according to the length of the speech. When Jenkins announced the start of the questioning session, he looked up and saw the middle-aged gentleman standing at the end and the highest place in the auditorium stretched out three fingers to him, and he knew that he could only choose three people at most.
The old-fashioned gentleman just now is the deputy speaker of the House and a follower of Dolores. He is mainly in charge of Jenkins' speech this time.
