Chapter 6 The nobles have no surplus food (ask for a collection recommendation ticket)

In the next two days, Arthur cooperated with the treatment of the hospital with peace of mind, recuperated physically and mentally, in addition to completing the police inquiry in the presence of his family's lawyer, most of the remaining free time was to listen to the introduction and report of the housekeeper Paul, and to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire family and assets.

Arthur's sudden change of attitude made Paul's steward very surprised and surprised, to be honest, what he was most worried about was that the new earl was afraid of trouble and burden, so he directly sold the country estate and dumped the castle that had been inherited for more than 300 years to the national trust, which would not only make the Boleyn family lose their ancestral property and inheritance, but also make their housekeepers and servants lose their jobs.

In fact, Butler Paul can also understand the young earl, after all, in modern society, the simple and monotonous life in the countryside is naturally not comparable to the bright lights of the metropolis, and the heavy family history and the so-called glory are undoubtedly a burden and a heavy burden for modern young people, especially after seeing the outside world of flowers, leaving the countryside, after a long time, those so-called traditions, the glory and responsibility of decline, have long been diluted in the blood, and everything in the countryside is no longer close.

And now, Paul was naturally extremely happy and excited to hear that the young earl was interested in shouldering the glory and responsibility of the family, and the old earl, who had passed away all his life, could be said to have worked hard to protect the ancestral business, so that the inheritance handed to him by the previous generation could be revitalized and preserved.

Paul really hopes that Arthur Boleyn can hold on to the ancestral heritage, glory and tradition of the English nobility of the Boleyn family, so he is so excited that he will always use the most beautiful language to describe the comfortable and exquisite life of the manor, so that the new earl can return to the manor.

The landlord's family has no surplus food!

These are the two days, Arthur summed up from all the information introduced by the steward Paul, 3,000 acres of land, including hills, woods and plains, agriculture and animal husbandry have been exploited to the maximum extent by the dead cheap father, and the old Earl Francis Boleyn when he was alive not only to maintain all the expenses of the manor, but also to have a lot of surplus, but also to accumulate 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 was left with debts, if Arthur could return to the manor to do his duty, honestly be his country rich man, and develop agriculture and animal husbandry well, maybe after three or five years, he would repay it and achieve financial freedom.

It's a pity that he ran into a second goods, not only was he not interested in the manor farm at all, but he was a strong accident to death, and the housekeeper Paul could only choose the safest and most helpless way, renting out all the farms and pastures, so that the manor could get fixed funds to maintain, in doing so, he would naturally lose part of the income, and the rent obtained could only be enough.

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

However, this point can't help but be the current Arthur, as an online author, not to mention anything else, there is never a shortage of vision and messy ideas, especially after a lot of farming novels.

It is nothing more than the expansion and development of the tertiary industry, based on the picturesque landscape and the historic country castle, and in the past few days, he has already thought of some ideas.

What a luxury camping, what an outdoor workshop with the theme of bonfires and handmade woodwork, what theatrical performances, what 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, the Boleyn family is one of the few families in modern England that can still maintain the traditional etiquette of the aristocracy very comprehensively, which is definitely a biggest advantage!

A bunch of details of the life of the British upper-class aristocracy, every detail reflects the wealth and elegance of the aristocracy, isn't it the most desirable and intrinsically lacking thing for those wealthy nouveau riche and local tyrants?

As long as the vanity of the local tyrants and upstarts is satisfied, the pound is not at hand?

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

20 to 25 weddings a year isn't much, right?

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 been looking for new ways to preserve the character of these historic houses, and of course, in many cases, to preserve the British heritage of these houses.

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

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

Arthur's eyes lit up suddenly, he had chased this British drama back then, and if I remember correctly, the scene filmed in this British drama, Highclere Castle, was also in Hampshire.

"Paul, if I'm not mistaken, there is still a manor house in Hampshire called Highclerell Castle?"

Paul, the housekeeper who was cleaning the elderberries and preparing to feed Arthur, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Arthur with some surprise and nodded back: "Yes, it is the ancestral home of the Herbert family, and now it belongs to the eighth generation of George Herbert, Earl of Carnarvon, I didn't expect it, you still remember this castle, but they are also having a hard time now, I heard that some time ago they also wanted to develop real estate, but in the end it was not done." ”

Butler Paul's understanding of the British aristocratic circle is really a treasure, "The Herbert family is also one of the few nobles who has maintained a certain tradition, but there is still a certain gap compared to our Boleyn family, and I heard that the contemporary Countess of Carnarvon is a bit of a philistine and too flamboyant... ”

As he spoke, Paul shook his head with some regret, as if he looked down on the other party very much, and that kind of disdain was simply beyond words.

"Low profile" is always the first principle of the aristocracy.

Under the guidance of this general principle, there are more rules that can be extended, some rules are incomprehensible, and as for exposing them in front of the media, it is not very glamorous. Less on TV, less in newspapers, and less noticeable. Show life in the circle of friends, that's even more don't, don't, don't. Speak in a lower, lower, and lower voice.

Even a rebellious like Arthur Boleyn, under the influence of his family's education, was subconsciously influenced by this tradition, wearing T-shirts and jeans, which is the most infallible way of dressing for the younger generation with a hereditary aristocratic background, (the "nobility" here refers to the hereditary aristocracy, not the "generation" of the nobility.) The nobility issued by modern England only has titles, no fiefs and money, and is purely honorable) because the current upper class, which knows it well, but does not know it, calls itself 'middle class' to the outside world.

However, these concepts are all nonsense for the current Arthur Boleyn, the pot can't be opened, and it is very ridiculous to stick to those traditions.

As for low-key, low-key only by becoming a successful person first, can he be qualified to use low-key as a coat!
