I Am a Nobleman in England

Arthur, who knew that too many words would be unreasonable, resisted the pain in his head, forced a smile on his face, and thanked the housekeeper Paul who had just helped him drink some water.

After that, there was an awkward silence in the ward.

There is no way, Arthur really doesn't know what to say, especially the eyes of the other party are full of concern, blame and disappointment, combined with the actions of the second-rate predecessor, Arthur really dare not speak casually, say Words that do not match my personality, not to mention the big trouble of language.

As the butler, Paul naturally would not let the atmosphere continue to be awkward, but sat aside and began to tell Arthur what happened during his coma.

"Lord (Lord), the murderer who caused you such injuries has not been caught, but the police have been chasing after him. Attorney James Cronin will take care of all the troubles. You can rest assured..."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you." Arthur twitched unnaturally, knowing that he would be fine if he wasn't held legally accountable, and even arrested the murderer. Two groups of football LIUs were busy fighting, where to find the murderer, let alone find it, He couldn't pick himself clean, so it might as well be like this. After all, in his mind, in that melee, he also used his strong body to kill all directions, and there were several people who fell under his fists.

"This is what should be done. However, the police may ask you to take a record. Lawyer James will come over in a while, and you can discuss it with him..."

"Okay, thank you, Paul." Arthur naturally knew that this was to avoid all trouble. However, he doesn't want to continue to be entangled in this embarrassing matter. Maybe he didn't care about it before, but for Arthur now, the stupid 13'career' of being a football hooligan will be gone forever. He is not a limb A well-developed, muscular bastard, a good landlord, is not a good landlord, and he runs to the streets to die.

"Is the manor all right?"

Hearing the unreliable heir to the earl ask about the manor for the first time, Steward Paul's eyes could not help but light up slightly. He knows better than anyone else that compared with big cities, life in the country is absolutely disliked by young people, let alone There is also the family pressure accumulated over 800 years, not everyone wants to bear it, especially after paying the high inheritance tax and already in debt, inheriting the family business has become a burden instead.

"Fortunately, according to the actual situation, 2,200 acres of the 3,000 acres of land have been allocated to six farms for lease. In this way, 200,000 pounds can be obtained every year, which is exactly enough to pay 150,000 for the maintenance of the castle and the castle. wages of all employees.

The remaining cheese factory can have an annual surplus of 30,000 pounds. In addition to repaying the bank loan, the rest is enough for your normal daily expenses. . . "

The housekeeper, Paul, reported Arthur's current state of the country manor in a concise report. Hearing these situations, Arthur felt upset for no reason. He also understood why his predecessor was not very interested in inheriting such a large family business.

Although he obtained a huge amount of inheritance, from now on, Arthur Boleyn will start to worry about the condition of the old house in disrepair all the time. Is it going to leak? Looking for workers to repair it again?

All kinds of high fees will definitely cause headaches.

For the simple-minded predecessor, it is understandable to think of escaping from such a huge pressure and burden, but for the current Arthur Boleyn, this kind of opening is undoubtedly a big surprise from the sky. Cake, it is really a good thing to wake up from a dream.

Thank God, I didn't lose the castle to the National Trust for management by the bastard in my predecessor. When I came back then, there was no place to cry.

After recovering from his injuries, he only needs to find ways to study more ways to make full use of his ancestral home and the remaining 800 acres of land around it to make money for him.

You know, there are still about 1,000 hereditary nobles in England,

They have been able to laugh until now, and even some noble families have more wealth than the royal family, and there are very few nobles who are still rich and landed.

Faced with a huge inheritance tax, many nobles did not have enough money to maintain their manors and had to lose their property. Since 1900, 1,200 manor houses have been demolished in England alone. In 1950, manors were demolished at the fastest rate in history, with one manor disappearing every five days in the UK.

But the nobles were still the big landowners in England. According to statistics, more than one-third of the land in England is still in the hands of a very small number of nobles. The Boleyn family that Arthur belongs to can survive under the impact of the torrent of the times at various stages and preserve 3,000 acres of land. Work hard to preserve these ancestral properties.

Although the nobles have large tracts of land, they lack cash flow. Their wealth has long been completely incomparable with those of fund managers, let alone those IT rich. Except for a few nobles who can develop land into real estate and become rich, most of them Some nobles have been reduced to the middle class.

Arthur raised his head with difficulty, and asked with a wry smile on his face, "Paul, how much debt do I have to repay now?"

"Ahem..."

The housekeeper Paul also showed an embarrassed expression very unexpectedly, coughed twice, and showed a look of unnaturalness on his face, and comforted him: "Let's talk about these after your injuries are healed, don't worry, the most important thing now is It is to treat the injury, because you have suffered a heavy blow to the head, you have a little concussion, you will have some headaches, nausea and other sequelae, so you should treat and rest with peace of mind."

The corner of Arthur's mouth couldn't help twitching. Paul's butler's evasive attitude made him understand that it seemed that the hole in the funds left would not be too small, but no matter how much he searched for the memory, he couldn't find any relevant content from the residual consciousness. , it seems that the predecessor of this bastard should have never understood it at all.

"Ahem... how's the newspaper office and publishing house going?"

However, with Arthur's current IQ, it is not difficult to guess where the problem lies. After all, his inheritance is very clear, except for the 3,000-acre manor in Hampshire in southeastern England, and the area in Southampton. The tabloid Southern Daily Echo and a Boleyn Press.

The manor can be considered self-sufficient and has reached a balance of payments, so the main source of debt is left to newspapers and publishing houses. With the current economic environment and the huge impact of the Internet on traditional media, it is conceivable that I What kind of living conditions will the tabloid under his name be like?

Seeing something very different from the past, Arthur asked about the situation of the newspaper and the publishing house. The slightly excited Arthur, the housekeeper Paul hurriedly stood up, and pressed down with a worried and helpless expression to get up. He was almost wrapped up like a mummy. Earl Arthur finally gritted his teeth and said without any concealment.

"Lord (Lord), don't get excited, I will tell you whatever you want to know..."

Arthur lay on the pillow, staring at the housekeeper Paul with burning eyes, and raised his heart. He had a very bad feeling, and this feeling was getting bigger and bigger.

"The situation of the newspaper is indeed not very good. There is still a loan of one million pounds that needs to be repaid. However, the situation of Boleyn Press is still good, which can alleviate the shortage of funds for the newspaper to a certain extent..."

Fuck!

This earl title is poisonous, this is not a life that people yearn for, this is obviously a huge pit!
