Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 655 Manor
Because both parties had sent people to complete almost all the handover work before, the official handover ceremony took a very short time at the end, and only a few documents needed to be signed overall.

"The manor will belong to you from now on, I hope you can take good care of her." After signing his name on the last document, Mr. Piletti stood up and looked around with some reluctance and said arrive.

"Yes, we will," Joan nodded with a smile and signed her name. "This manor will be our future home, and we will definitely manage this manor well."

"That's good, that's good." Looking at the serious Joan of Arc, Mr. Piletti nodded in satisfaction, then put a bronze and gold-plated key on the table, and then left with Mr. Hood room.

"Now this manor belongs to us?" After the two people left, Joan of Arc glanced at the document that had just been signed in her hand, then turned to look at Liang En. "It's kind of weird—"

"No, it's not surprising, Miss." The butler Lubson who had been handling those things on the side said, "As you are the heir of the nobility, these things are what you should get, so you have to learn to adapt slowly. "

"Okay, I think you should be tired after rushing here from the United States and being busy for the past few days, so you should take a good rest today, and wait until tomorrow to deal with other things." After bowing, he left the room.

"I have to say that this house is more in line with my aesthetics than I imagined." After the butler Lubzon left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a lot more relaxed, especially Joan of Arc's face showed Smile.

"I thought it was a castle. To be honest, those castles look very magnificent, but it must be uncomfortable to live in as a military facility."

"You're right, just like modern people basically don't choose to live in bunkers." Liang En nodded approvingly. "Fortunately, this is a manor purely for rest and relaxation."

In fact, the ancient nobles did not like to live in the castle all day just like modern people. They often only lived in the castle during the war, and usually lived in the manor outside the castle.

Now Liang En's newly acquired manor was actually a manor where nobles usually lived, so the whole is more inclined to life than military defense.

Both of them had a good rest that night. After getting up early the next morning, they first rode their bicycles to the town of Woodbridge and had a hearty English breakfast. Simple speech.

It has been said before that this manor is not only used for living, but also operates a series of businesses. In addition to service personnel, both agriculture and tourism employ employees.

So although the servants and chefs of the prospective baron's family left the manor yesterday, these employees did not leave, but will continue to work here.

What Liang En and the others have to do now is to reassure everyone, and show everyone that there will be no changes in the operation of the manor in a short time, so that everyone can continue to work here with peace of mind.

They quickly rode bicycles along the road through the manor and then came to the small square on the other side of the manor. This small square is against a road facing the coastline on one side and has buildings on the other three sides.

These two two-story buildings and one three-story building are mainly used for external business, such as visitor center, restaurant, small supermarket and hotel are placed in these three buildings.

When Liang En and the others walked into the lobby on the first floor of the tallest three-story building, they found that almost all the staff were already waiting here, with uneasy expressions on their faces.

"Okay, take it easy, everyone." Joan of Arc nodded to Liang En and walked up to a small table at the front of the hall, "We don't plan to end the external business of the manor, so the thing everyone is most worried about will not occur--"

As soon as Joan's words fell, everyone on the field heaved a sigh of relief, because what they were most worried about before was to close the original business of the manor after the new owner came to the door, and then sweep them out.

英国土地分布是非常不公平的，英国贵族和乡绅拥有30%英格兰土地；18%由各类企业拥有；17%由一系列寡头、银行家新贵拥有；8.5%由公共部门拥有；英国皇室拥有1.4%。

And the vast majority of ordinary people own little or no land.All the common people who own a home in England, regardless of country, together own only 5% of the land.

To make matters worse, many rich people did not continue the agricultural production after buying the land, but instead used the nature reserve as an excuse to drive out the people who used to work on the land, and then waited for the land to appreciate in value.

This is not done by one or two rich people, but by almost everyone. After all, they are just hoarding land and waiting for appreciation, so reducing various things and personnel expenses is the most important thing.

It has to be said that they did achieve his goal, with high levels of land privatization leading to high rental rates, which are now 20% of young UK households renting, up from 80% in the late 9s.

So it is very normal for the staff working on the farm to feel nervous after the change of the owner of the farm, because they have seen too many tragedies of the original staff being kicked out after the land changed hands.

Fortunately, Joan's speech relieved everyone's worries, because she made it clear that she would continue to operate in the future, and the scale of operation may even be expanded.

Unlike those wealthy businessmen who hope to make a fortune from the land or wait for the land to appreciate in value, Joan of Arc is still a traditional aristocrat at heart, and as a traditional aristocrat, land management is a must.

Of course, this is also in line with the arrangement of the Duris family, because for the Duris family, the core of this manor is to gain a firm foothold in the circle of British aristocrats, and it is always right to follow the tradition at this time.

After all, to those British, Mr. Du Lisi is more like a country bumpkin who came from France, so at this time, if he is waiting for the land to appreciate like those rich businessmen, then he will be a bumpkin.

Another more important reason is that in Liang En's view, when he is not short of money at all, especially when he is still making a profit, it is too bad to ruin other people's jobs for more benefits.

He knows that some people will definitely think that this is a Madonna attack, but after all, he did not grow up in the environment of those rich people, so his thinking is closer to that of ordinary people, so he will naturally make such a decision .

Of course, such a decision is naturally very good news for these farm workers, which means that they can continue their jobs and will not become unemployed.

You must know that as the trend of land annexation across the UK intensifies, it becomes more and more difficult for these people to find a suitable job, let alone they must leave their hometowns in order to find new jobs.

So after announcing the plans for the future, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became active, and in the evening, Liang En and the others even prepared a buffet banquet as an occasion to shorten the distance with everyone.
