Chapter 16: You Can Only Live Once!

"Earl, if you really want to grow pasture, you might as well increase the planting area, plant pasture grass on the periphery of the main garden area of the estate, and if the number of acres reaches 100 acres, we can apply for subsidies from both England and the European Union.

In this way, the cost of £100 to £200 per acre can be offset, in fact, when the government introduced the policy of subsidising pasture, your father also considered it at the time, but he did not expect that he was diagnosed with cancer soon after, and the matter was put down.

If you really decide to grow pasture, then I will arrange it and fill out the application for subsidies with the government. ”

Hearing Arthur's proposal, the butler Paul directly came up with a more mature plan, and it was the kind of plan that made a lot of money.

"And this kind of good thing?" Arthur was slightly stunned, then raised his eyebrows and asked, without waiting for Paul to respond, he made a decision: "Since there is a subsidy, then it is expanding, as long as it does not affect the landscape within the main area of the manor castle, it can be planted in other places, anyway, from a distance, it looks like a green patch." ”

"Well, in fact, we have already measured that we can only plant a maximum of 200 acres of pasture, because the rest of the remaining area is not a large area, it is separated by two small lakes and rivers, and it is a bit troublesome to harvest when it comes time. ”

"Then according to the original plan, 200 acres, as for the rest of the area, you can see if you can plant other economic plants, in terms of scenery, the main garden area of the manor, is enough to appreciate. Arthur did not hesitate to make a decision, a subsidy of more than 100,000 pounds a year, and this kind of money could not be earned.

Although planting a landscape lawn will make the scenery of the manor more beautiful, compared to the pound, it looks good!

"Understood, rest assured, Count, I'll take care of everything. Paul bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

"Excuse me, Paul. Arthur smiled and said, in fact, there are some complicated emotions in his heart, his subordinates are too capable, sometimes it may not be all good, because then it will seem that he is a novice who doesn't understand anything.

Well, although he was originally a novice who didn't know anything too well.

"It's okay, I'll go out first, lunch will be ready in a moment, and I'll come and call you for dinner. Paul smiled at Arthur and turned to walk out.

Arthur stood up and watched the back of Paul leaving, and when he walked to the door, Arthur just wanted to sit down, and Paul, who was opening the door, looked back at Arthur, and said with a kind expression on his face: "Earl, it's really good that you can come back!"

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face became bright, and he nodded slightly and said, "This is my home." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Paul's face became even happier, and he turned around and gave Arthur a gentlemanly salute again, turned around, straightened his waist, raised his chin slightly, walked out of the study, and closed the door casually.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to become the backbone of a group of people, it's really flattering... ”

In fact, this is also a very understandable and realistic thing, if he does not come back to take charge of the manor, the most likely thing is to sell, and by then, all the maids, cooks and gardeners in the manor, including the housekeeper Paul, will lose their jobs.

However, at this time, Arthur was a little lazy leaning on the boss's chair, shaking his head and laughing, to be honest, he didn't expect to add a new discovery project to the manor, it was not as simple as he imagined, in order to keep the ancestral property, the nobles really racked their brains, spelled out all kinds of tricks, and even came up with the idea of developing it into a safari.

"Fame! If you want Boleyn Manor to be favored, the key is fame... ”

Arthur, who was talking to himself, turned the boss's chair, faced the computer that had been turned on, reached out and shook the mouse, found Word to open, and the phone quickly tapped the keyboard and typed in the title of the book - Downton Abbey.

Tomorrow, before the managers of the newspaper and the publishing house arrived, he had to write a few chapters to get the story out of the newspaper as soon as possible, which was the first step in his packaging and hype about Boleyn Manor.

Later, he would also tell people all over the world about the life of this historic castle estate on the Internet, and if the publicity was in place, Boleyn Castle would become a famous tourist attraction.

Although, it is not a shame in Arthur's opinion to support his family by selling manor tickets, but he can't just think about making these small money, he still has to get a sum of money as soon as possible and make a high-cost investment, isn't his biggest advantage that he travels back to 10 years ago?

Although he is not a financial genius, an investment predator, or a scientific and technological elite, as an online coder who has checked a little bit of everything, the information in his memory is enough for him to dominate!

You only live once!

You can only live once!

Even if he now has a new life and can live again for ten years, he can't change the reality that he can only live once, and he is extremely lucky to get the opportunity to start over, so he naturally has to live a wonderful life!

"Knock-"

There was a knock on the door of the study and it was pushed open, and Paul, the butler, walked in and said to Arthur, who was contemplating typing, "Earl, lunch is ready, you can eat." ”

"Thank you. Arthur frowned, clicked save with the mouse, then stood up, moved his body, and smiled.

"Let's go, it's time to eat. As he walked out, he shouted to the three black Labradors who were lying on the couch and carpet, and the three dogs quickly stood up and followed him.

"By the way, Paul, help me change the chair, the chair is a bit small for me right now. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to change it for you right away. Paul bowed slightly, closed the door with his hand, and walked quickly to the front to lead the way.

Walking down the oak staircase to the hall on the first floor, on the side of the staircase, there was a bracket with a gong fixed on the bracket, and the butler Paul walked aside, bent down to pick up a drumstick, and respectfully handed it to Arthur.

Arthur was not stunned or overwhelmed, and when he accepted his memory, he had seen the old earl striking the gong, which was the customary practice of informing everyone to dinner, and reached out to take the drumstick, and said to Paul with a smile, "Thank you." ”

As he spoke, he struck the gong three times with his drumstick, put down the drumstick, and walked to the restaurant under the leadership of Paul, the smiling butler.

It is still a large dining room that can only be described as magnificent, with exquisite oil paintings on all four walls, a table that can seat 30 people in the middle, dining chairs on both sides, and a silver candlestick in the center of the table to set off the atmosphere, decorated with pink and white roses, which is the most popular style in the Edwardian period.

Arthur walked to the main seat, and the butler Paul helped him pull out the chair, and after Arthur sat down, he thanked him for the repairs.

Looking at the table full of tableware in front of him, seeing this, I have to sigh that the conservative tradition adhered to by the Boleyn family is really amazing, the tableware has been placed for hundreds of years, and the whole castle has always been maintained in the best state of order and refinement. Under the strict requirements of a high standard, Boleyn Castle retains the complete aristocratic dining etiquette, of course, all this is inseparable from the strict management and clear etiquette of the butler.
