"In the eyes of the world, he does have a lot of wealth."

"But among these families that have been developing for dozens or even hundreds of years, his wealth can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean."

While explaining, Yuan Mengqi soon brought Qin Xuan to the middle of the banquet.

"The middle section of the banquet belongs to the mainstream families."

"They are extremely powerful, spanning the political and business circles. As long as you have heard or seen something in your daily life, you will more or less see their shadow."

"The younger generations of these families think highly of themselves and believe that their families have already transcended the category of ordinary aristocratic families."

"But little do they know that compared to those wealthy families who only have money, they only have a little power."

After hearing Yuan Mengqi's explanation, Qin Xuan activated his ability again and obtained the identity information and conversation content of these people from their clothes, tableware and other items.

Just as Yuan Mengqi said, when they talked, they no longer talked about business like Fu Shangao and others.

Instead, he kept referring to "some official" or "some subordinate" as if he were the future ruler of the officialdom.

Continuing forward, everyone soon arrived at the core area of ​​the banquet.

Apparently not many people here have arrived yet, with only a few figures moving around in the banquet.

They behaved casually and looked relaxed, and compared to those people outside, they seemed more like they were at home rather than at a top party full of wealthy people.

"The people who appear here are the core of the future of the entire Dragon Country."

"Their family spans the military, politics and business worlds. No matter which field they are in, they have an irreplaceable position."

"As for those absolute talents in corresponding fields, they will also have plans to train them."

"So the younger generations of these families basically don't have any pressure."

"All they have to do is learn what they need to learn and do what they need to do."

"But won't this block the upward path for ordinary people?"

Qin Xuan frowned.

If every position has a corresponding family member to take over, how can common people get ahead?

How can ordinary people change their destiny?

“What you said will indeed happen to a certain extent.”

"But this does not mean that this behavior has no benefits for civilians."

Yuan Mengqi nodded, but did not completely deny what Qin Xuan said.

"The families of these people usually work in the same position for many years, which is similar to hereditary succession."

"Compared to ordinary people, they will naturally have a better understanding of the abilities required for this position."

"The difference between them and ordinary people is that after ordinary people come to power, they may gradually become corrupt due to their own selfish desires, but these people will not."

"Or rather, their family does not allow them to do this."

"The family doesn't allow it?"

Qin Xuan was even more confused.

"If they can achieve internal transfer of positions, then over time, their vision will inevitably become alienated from the masses."

"If your sights get higher and higher, you will eventually become more corrupt than ordinary people."

"Why do you say their family doesn't allow it?"

Yuan Mengqi shook her head, indicating that Qin Xuan was thinking in the wrong direction.

The red lips parted slightly, and a cold and beautiful voice slowly came out of her mouth.

"What you said is indeed true."

"But the premise of all this is that the family itself will fall."

"These families all followed the founder of the country and are closely connected with the country."

"If the Dragon Kingdom collapses one day, they will also inevitably lose power and influence."

"So in order for the family to continue to prosper, they must ensure that the Dragon Kingdom remains standing."

"Therefore, even if they have hereditary status in these important positions, they will not do anything outrageous."

"Otherwise, there would be no need for the state to intervene. Their own supervisory departments would directly remove those with problems."

“There is such a mechanism?”

Qin Xuan smacked his lips, feeling that he had gained some new knowledge.

Indeed, as Yuan Mengqi said, if these families had their own supervisory departments, they could prevent them from doing anything out of line.

The young man from a wealthy family who has received the right education since childhood will indeed do better than an ordinary person who has learned his way up step by step.

But this does not mean that this system is absolutely correct.

After all, no one who can get to this point on his own is a simple person.

No matter how skilled these young masters are at their jobs, they can never have more experience and knowledge than ordinary people who have struggled all the way.

It is difficult to tell which one is better or worse in just a few words.

"Don't worry, the people I just mentioned are only in certain special departments."

"Most official promotion channels are completely open."

“Even if there is some impact, it will not cut off the path to promotion for ordinary people.”

"I see."

"That's more reasonable, then."

Yuan Mengqi's supplement dispelled Qin Xuan's awkward feeling.

I walked two steps forward and suddenly saw two familiar faces.

"Brother Chen, Brother Ye!"

Sitting not far away were Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang.

Hearing Qin Xuan's call, the two of them turned around at the same time and greeted him with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, Brother Qin, I didn't expect to see you here again?"

Qin Xuan nodded. He didn't expect that he would meet these two brothers here.

“I didn’t expect that!”

"Aren't those who came today all young people from various families?"

"Why are the two old brothers here to join in the fun?"

"Do you want to feel young again?"

"Bah, are you scolding us for being old?"

Hearing Qin Xuan's teasing, Ye Shuliang laughed and scolded, then bent his eyebrows and explained the reason to him.

"The younger generation of the family refers to the younger generations other than the head of the family and his peers."

"In both of our homes, the father is in charge."

"As their sons, we are naturally considered the younger generation."

"How about this, Brother Qin, why don't you stay here and have a few drinks with us?"

Qin Xuan was still somewhat tempted by Ye Shuliang's invitation.

But I have something important to do today.

Although he didn't see his aunt, he guessed where he needed to be based on the distribution of his family.

So after drinking a cup with the two of them, Qin Xuan followed the four golden flowers to the innermost part of the banquet.

A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the innermost part of the banquet.

Unlike outside, there is nothing here.

There were more than a dozen chairs placed against the wall, and on each table there were extremely exquisite teacups and teapots.

"This is the top existence in the entire banquet."

"The only ones who can appear here are members of the eight major families in the imperial capital."

"Here, they will communicate with each other about all past matters and plan various developments in the coming year."

"Of course, the most important thing is to exchange information to find out what those superhumans have done outside the country!"
