I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 6 Noble Family Has No Surplus Food

In the next two days, Arthur cooperated with the hospital's treatment and recuperated physically and mentally. In addition to completing the police inquiry under the witness of his family lawyer, most of the remaining free time was to listen to the introduction and report from the housekeeper Paul. A comprehensive and detailed understanding of the entire family and assets.

Arthur's sudden change of attitude surprised Butler Paul very much. To be honest, what he was most worried about was that the new earl would sell the country estate directly out of fear of trouble and burden, and sell the castle that had been passed down for more than 300 years. Leaving it to the National Trust will not only cause the Boleyn family to lose their ancestral property and inheritance, but also lose their jobs as stewards and servants.

In fact, Paul Butler can also understand the young earl. After all, in modern society, the simple and monotonous life in the countryside cannot be compared with the feasting and feasting in the metropolis. Moreover, the heavy family history and so-called glory are undoubtedly a big deal for modern young people. This kind of burden and heavy burden, especially after seeing the colorful world outside, and leaving the country, after a long time, those so-called traditions, declining glory and responsibility have long since faded in the blood, and all ties with the country have also faded away. no longer tight.

But now, Paul is very happy and excited when he hears that the young earl is interested in shouldering the family's honor and responsibility. The foundation handed to him by generations has been revitalized and preserved.

Paul really hoped that Arthur Boleyn could stick to the ancestral property of the Boleyn family, the glory and the tradition of the British aristocracy. That's why he was so excited and kept using the most beautiful language to describe the comfortable and exquisite life of the manor, so that The new earl was able to return to the manor.

The landlord's family has no surplus food!

This is what Arthur summed up from all the information introduced by the housekeeper Paul in the past two days. The 3,000 acres of land, including hills, woods and plains, agriculture and animal husbandry have been maximized by the dead cheap daddy. After the development was completed, when the old earl Francis Boleyn was alive, relying on these not only could maintain all the expenses of the manor, but also had a lot of surplus and accumulated a considerable fortune.

However, after his death, all the family assets were inherited by Arthur, but the cash property was divided into three, and after paying the inheritance tax, he, Arthur Boleyn, had only debts left. If Arthur could return to the manor Duties are divided, honestly be his rural rich man, and develop agriculture and animal husbandry well. Maybe in three to five years, he will be repaid and achieve financial freedom.

It's a pity that he ran into a second-hand guy. Not only was he not interested in the manor farm at all, but he kept making troubles to his death. Paul, the housekeeper, could only choose the safest and most helpless way, renting out all the farms and pastures. The manor can get a fixed amount of funds to maintain it. In doing so, it will naturally lose part of the income, and the rent it gets can only be adequate.

The value of the land has been completely squeezed out, and if you want to make money, you have to find another way out.

However, this point is hard for Arthur now. As an author of online articles, among other things, he never lacks vision and messy ideas, especially after he has been influenced by a lot of farming novels.

It is nothing more than the expansion and development of the tertiary industry, based on the picturesque mountains and rivers, and making a big fuss about the country castle with a long history. In the past few days, he has already thought of some ideas.

What luxury camping, outdoor workshops with campfires and handcrafted wood products as the theme, theater performances, food festivals, his current favorite idea is to turn the castle into a luxurious wedding venue, a full set of British aristocratic style, after all, Bo The Lin family is one of the few families in modern England that can maintain the traditional etiquette of the nobility in a comprehensive way. This is definitely the biggest advantage!

A bunch of life details of the upper-class British nobles, each detail reflects the wealth and elegance of the nobles, isn't it what the upstarts and local tyrants most yearn for and lack internally?

As long as the vanity of local tyrants and upstarts is satisfied,

Isn't the pound at hand?

For a wedding, the daily rent is not expensive at 20,000 pounds, right?

20 to 25 weddings a year is not too much, is it?

In fact, it is not uncommon in England to rely on castle estates to develop the tertiary industry. Since the Second World War, aristocratic property owners have found innovative ways to maintain the style and, of course, in many cases, the British heritage of these ancient homes.

Arthur remembered that in his previous life, because of "Downton Abbey", the castles in England became popular all over the world. . .

By the way, how could I forget this British drama!

Arthur's eyes lit up suddenly. He had chased after this British drama back then. If I remember correctly, Highclere Castle, the scene shot in this British drama, was also in Hampshire.

"Paul, if I remember correctly, there is also a manor called Highclere Castle in Hampshire?"

Paul, the housekeeper who was cleaning the elderberries and was about to feed them to Arthur, was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Arthur with some surprise and nodded, and replied, "Yes, it is the ancestral home of the Herbert family, which now belongs to the eighth generation of Kanna Earl George Herbert, I didn't expect that you still remember this castle, but they are also living in a very difficult time, and I heard that some time ago they wanted to develop real estate, but in the end it was nothing."

Steward Paul's knowledge of the British aristocratic circle is very rare, "The Herbert family is also one of the few nobles who have maintained a certain tradition, but there is still a certain gap compared with our Boleyn family, and I heard that contemporary Caernarfon The countess is a bit of a philistine, she is too flamboyant..."

As he said that, Paul shook his head with regret, as if he looked down on the other party very much. The disdain was beyond words.

"Low-key" is always the first principle of nobility.

Under the guidance of this general principle, there are more rules that can be extended. Some rules are incomprehensible. As for the exposure in front of the media, it is not a very honorable thing. Less on TV, less in newspapers, less attention. If you show your life in the circle of friends, then you don't want it. Lower your voice, lower it, lower it.

Even the rebellious Arthur Boleyn, under the osmosis of family education, is also subconsciously influenced by this tradition, wearing T-shirts and jeans - this is the last generation of the younger generation with a hereditary aristocratic background. Wrong way of daily dress, (the "nobility" mentioned here refers to hereditary nobility, not "one generation" nobility. The nobility issued by modern England has only titles, no fiefs and money, and is purely honorary) because the current upper class Class, I know it well, but I don't say it clearly, and I call myself the "middle class" to the outside world.

However, these concepts are all nonsense to the current Arthur Boleyn, and the blame cannot be uncovered. It is ridiculous to cling to those traditions. Under the eyeball economy, if you want to make a country manor Only by packaging and publicizing and making famous can you make money!

As for low-key, low-key is only qualified to be a low-key coat if you first become a successful person!
