7 Y-Brycheiniog
Mr. Lin named his home "Fforest-y-Brycheiniog" after the nearby Brycheminiog National Park. The six months before he officially left his post were just enough for him to complete the registration of the ownership transfer of the forest farm, and to replan and raze all the houses of the townspeople.
Under the operation of Lin Yilong, Middlesex Bank put pressure on their debtors. Lin Yilong easily took ownership of this huge and almost uninhabited piece of land. He sought out only a few of his law school classmates who practiced law in Cardiff, and for a small amount of extra money, he transferred ownership of the entire plot to his name. However, the completion of the transfer of land title does not mean that Lin Yilong can live in peace, and there are many things that Lin Yilong has to do during this period: in order to save a significant part of the residence tax, the ownership of the town's houses transferred along with the forest and the town's land needs to be merged, the necessary building permits need to be obtained for the buildings to be built in West Gramorgan County and the Forest Conservancy Society, and finally, letters have to be sent to the County Road Board and Royal Mail to obtain a new postcode for the merged land.
These steps are necessary, if Lin Yilong does not do this, each of the houses transferred to Lin Yilong's hand will need to pay a separate property tax, although the house prices in the town are not very valuable, but dozens of houses plus a few public and commercial properties, each need to pay a land tax of 500 pounds, although Lin Yilong is not short of money, but this will definitely be very suspicious in the eyes of the treasury officials. Merging land ownership will certainly be blocked by the local county council, but this is a matter for the Land Registration Administration, and it will not cause Lin Yilong more trouble. Before these buildings can be razed, they first need to go to the county building board to apply for permission, although the committee cannot not approve them, but some buildings have to be heard because they are listed buildings: although the results of the hearing will definitely be consistent with Lin Yilong's application, it will still take some time to complete these procedures; between the compliance procedures, it is also responsible for contacting the demolition engineering company to complete the demolition and remove the discarded building materials in the shortest possible time; finally, it is necessary to apply for a new building application and building name and the name of the abandoned road like the county council, and the name of the abandoned road must be changed like the county council; in addition, the power and water issues are taken into accountand pipeline maintenance agreements with water management and energy companies.
It takes a lot of time to approve all kinds of official documents, the progress of the building, the renovation and the planting of turf. As a for-profit unit, how to plan the purpose and use is the same as the business plan. It's like when a restaurant changes hands, the new owner always has to take a break from the storefront, and this time will definitely not be short. According to the progress of the Welsh locals and the amount of work required by Lin Yilong, this adjustment period may even exceed a year. During this time, unless it is a resort company that is looking for a quick profit, the person who makes this forest farm his home will definitely be very patient.
Woodland management in England and Wales is interesting, even if the land is privately owned, the de facto owner of the land needs to maintain the trees and stone walls that line public roads. Forests that go deep into non-public areas are not something that can be cut down casually, and applications need to be submitted to the Forest and Grassland Conservation Committee or even the Wildlife Committee. Under such strict restrictions, there are very few dedicated economic woodlands in the whole of the British Isles, and most of them have been turned into protected woodlands and hunting grounds. If the farmer's business does not want to become a "country farmhouse" or a "hiker's paradise", then the largest part of the income from the land is neither saplings, nor berries growing in the forest, nor nuts in the woods, but agricultural subsidies from the European Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture and various commissions. As a result, with the exception of some forest farms run by environmental protection and animal protection organizations, most forest land owners are set up in various country houses and similar holiday cottages, and rarely actually engage in so-called forestry, and it is difficult to get the same benefits from forest farms as farmers get during the autumn harvest. Even so, according to the forestry policy, the subsidy per acre of forest land is not small, about £3-5 per acre. In other words, even if he doesn't do anything, Lin Yilong can get about 400,000 pounds a year from the Bracken Forest Farm and the subsidy for the woodland next to the tree, which is enough for his family to chew.
Lin Yilong knows almost nothing about agriculture, and his knowledge of animal husbandry and poultry farming is limited to the tax rate and subsidy rate of meat, eggs and milk in the market: as for non-professional knowledge, not to mention the slightly more complicated packaging process, the egg and milk product number alone is completely confused, not to mention the pasteurization and skimming processes; for the planting industry, I am afraid that he will not be able to understand the outer packaging of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in a kind of "using pesticides as fertilizers to 'fertilize' farmland" As for the fishery and aquatic product breeding industry, Lin Yilong is "in awe of the vastness and depth of the sea." Since they do not have the knowledge of the agricultural industry with high production efficiency and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the only industry to consider is forestry, which is constantly subsidized by the government "for the sake of the entire agricultural industry and ecological sustainability".
In Britain, modern farmers rarely intersect with their neighbours except because of sheep crossing the line or other similar trivial matters. Unlike farmers 40 years ago, in the southern part of the British Isles, farmers can obtain pesticides, fertilisers and farm machinery through a logistics network without leaving their homes, and ship produce directly to buyers and trade by cheque or wire transfer, making the once small town that was once a supplier of these two commodities very sluggish. The importance of these towns to the residents of these towns is probably only "small villages with all kinds of emergency facilities", with schools, banks and supermarkets providing essential services all over the place. As a former town, emergency fire and rescue services in the vicinity should have been provided by the current property owner, that is, Lin Yilong, but after the nature of the land was merged with the surrounding forest land, Lin Yilong could smoothly transfer this obligation on the spot, and he could enjoy the joint protection of the emergency helicopter from Morriston Hospital in West Glamorgan County and several large emergency fire stations in the surrounding area, and enjoy the so-called additional "privacy".
So for Lin Yilong, Brecken Tree Farm is a real match made in heaven for him - Lin Yilong can make the trees and the animals of the forest farm peaceful without hikers and explorers disturbing them, and this huge forest farm can also protect him and provide him with peace.
Enjoy this quiet time at hand.
