Chapter 465: The Problem of the Landlord
From December to January next year, they will have to live here.
The country has just been built, the government is still temporary, although the queen is not in the government, but the things on her body are no less than the prime minister, she has to listen to the opinions of the parliament, choose the right time for the parliamentary election, and have to sign the laws of the provisional government, which are currently laying the foundation for the kingdom.
Brandon brought a few volunteer attendants from the United States, and after walking around the area, he decided to use the royal palace set aside by the government, and Joanna was reluctant, in case there was any foreign reception, it was impossible to hold it in the hotel. It's just that the palace is not large, it is located in the downtown area, and it used to be an attraction.
The task of the stewards is to familiarize everyone with the new rhythm, and they will take care of the royal family in the future, which is more strict with the rules, and everything they do may affect the royal family's face, and must be strict to every detail...... Brandon kept a straight face twenty-four hours a day.
In addition to learning Italian every day, Joanna also had to memorize the map of the country, at least the name of each region, its capital, and its main economic resources...... In her words, it's a good thing it's only 24,000 square kilometers.
An Feng is also learning with her, providing motivation.
But his memory was jealous, and he had gone through it all over again, and he could now recite the names of almost every city in Sardinia, along with some of the officials. Joanna then used the Queen's right to specify that he must accompany every official occasion during this time.
So Alice asked her father, "Is it because you want to listen to your mother?" ”
An Feng sighed: "Yes." ”
The little girl jumped up, not knowing what she was muttering.
An Feng obeyed her, and the little girl was full of questions, and she always wanted to determine whether her father was powerful or her mother, and it was estimated that she had got the result now.
Alice went on to ask, "Can Daddy take us out today?" ”
"I'm afraid I won't have time today." An Feng shook his head, "I still have to go with your mother to choose some land." Ready to build our house in the future. ”
"Can it be a big house?" Alice asked.
"Yes." An Feng nodded.
"Can you keep ponies and tigers?" Alice asked.
"Of course." An Feng said.
"Can you go swimming in the sea with Fred and then go fishing together?" Alice's sentences get longer.
"Yes." An Feng nodded.
"Okay-" Alice was about to say, but An Feng interrupted her: "Little girl, I promise, I will refer to your opinion when the time comes, okay?" ”
"Okay." She nodded sharply.
"Take care of my brother." An Feng told her, in fact, don't play too crazy. Pay attention to the image, you are the little princess and the little prince.
"I will." Alice put her arms around her brother, and Fred waved at him, "Goodbye, Dad." ”
"Goodbye, kids!" An Feng also waved his hand.
……
The government provided the helicopters, and Mr. An, Joanna, local land officials, and Ms. Roberts, who also served as an assistant and speaker, boarded the plane. They were going to take an aerial trip around the island and at the same time choose a place to build their houses. Learn about opportunities in urban planning.
As a royal family, there must be a dedicated palace, and considering the nature of official and private reasons, there must be more than one place. The entourage brought good news that the Queen, as the landowner, still had at her disposal land that had not yet been used by private individuals and the government.
According to the statistics of the relevant authorities, there is currently a national park. A forest belongs to her, as well as some woodland and residential land. Several undeveloped islands, land that has been developed but not contracted...... The total area is about 1,200 square kilometers.
1,200 square kilometers, accounting for about 5% of the country's land area, exceeded An Feng's expectations.
In accordance with their interests, the plane made a tour of the land owned by the royal family, but it turned out that there were not many places to use. The area of the park is certainly difficult to develop, and the flat, well-ground ones have already been occupied, and only one-tenth of this thousand and two square kilometers is favored.
But it also has 140 square kilometers. That's 35,000 acres, which isn't bad.
After returning from the circle, I began to think about the land.
The first is the representative Royal Palace, as it will be used as a place to receive foreign dignitaries and hold state banquets, just like Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's office. So the location chosen had to be near the capital Cagliari, and the land department recommended a plot of land with an area of about 350 acres.
It is surrounded by vineyards, the terrain is open, the agricultural economy of Sardinia, the wine industry occupies a certain proportion, this area is also a vineyard, it is ten kilometers away from the capital, the scenery is also very good, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also can take care of administrative work.
And it is quite in line with Chinese feng shui, facing the sea and backing the mountain, the terrain is about 30 meters higher than the center of the city, which belongs to a slow upward trend, standing in that place, you can overlook the turquoise blue ocean more than ten kilometers away, and the back is still against the 400-meter-high mountain.
After listening to a bunch of introductions from officials, Joanna asked, "Is it used by no one here?" ”
Ms. Roberts translated, and the official replied: "This area is not a high-quality wine-growing area, it is mostly operated for commercial purposes, and since that terrible disaster, the wine industry has been severely affected, and many residents are facing bankruptcy and want to sell their land." ”
"Can you give us an approximate figure?" Joanna asked.
"My pleasure, Her Majesty." "According to the purchase price of the land, it is estimated that it will be about 12 million euros." ”
After listening to Roberts's translation, Joanna asked An Feng, "What do you think?" ”
An Feng nodded: "It's here, the location is very good, this land is mainly considered for face engineering." ”
"Okay." Joanna agreed.
There is no need to worry about architectural design, the government will look for top architects, inclined to the Baroque style, to say that this style, the Italians are definitely the strongest, because it was in the Renaissance that frantically emerged, and the masters are naturally in the Italian architects.
After the face project is chosen, there must be a more personal palace next.
Here there is no need to take care of administrative conveniences, only private ideas are considered. According to Joanna's thoughts, she wanted to be quieter, with a good view and a view of the sea. It is better to have a private beach, because after becoming a queen, it is obviously no longer appropriate to appear on a public beach.
The aerial observation is not careful, and after the plane lands, change cars to travel.
After receiving official recommendations as well as field trips. They settled on the eastern coast of Cagliari, about fifty kilometers from the capital, over a few hills, to the quiet coastal town of Saint-Elermo, with many small towns and a small number of inhabitants.
Joanna loves the tranquility and calmness.
When An Feng was in contact with Sardinia, he also felt that the pace of life of the local residents was very leisurely.
They are indifferent by nature. will not be fanatical about big shots, and there are also ingredients that many stars are used to. This is also the place where its scenery is not as famous as Sicily, but it is favored by royal dignitaries and celebrities. Here, they are not treated as special and are able to enjoy an ordinary and peaceful life with peace of mind.
But the queen is by no means different from foreign tourists, and it is impossible to ignore her, mostly out of respect. Didn't take the initiative to bother...... That's all for later. An Feng saw a good one, about 80 acres. Flat grassy and close to the sea, with a 200-metre coastline and a marina.
The only pity is that although the development is not complete, there are already buildings.
But soon, the surprise came.
Officials from the Department of Land sued them. The alien rich of this land died in France due to the SFV virus, and according to the management of terra nullius, it belongs to the queen. That is, from now on, they can own the good land that the rich man spent more than 20 million yuan to renovate without spending a penny.
In the end, they decided to take the two pieces of land.
One is located in the capital, which belongs to the face project. It should be built magnificently, fully reflecting the grandeur of the royal family, and it also represents the face of a country; The other place is more inclined to private use, indifferent and quiet, a bit like a summer resort.
In the two buildings, Cagliari has identified the architect, which is recommended by the government, and the architect readily agrees, the other party has a big background and a good reputation, and originally planned to retire, but because of the contribution of the Ann couple, it was decided to work again and work together.
An Feng naturally has no opinion on this, and the palace of St. Elemmo needs them to worry about it.
Eventually, he approached Teresa, the designer who had designed the Santa Barbara mansion for them, and her last masterpiece pleased the couple, who had lived there for seven years and had already developed a relationship, hoping to continue the original fresh style. Teresa also gladly agreed.
Finally considering the construction time, it was a headache.
It can't be done in four or five years, but the queen's coronation is imminent, and it is impossible to say that there is no palace that can be held in the future...... In the end, An Feng came up with a bold plan: use a stereoscopic printer. He will use modern methods to create an ancient style palace.
With Ann's technology, they have no problem printing airplanes, let alone buildings?
The precision control of the supercomputer and the processing of the ultra-high-resolution printhead can be forged even by the age. And this is their territory, An Feng doesn't have to worry about the government wanting to control and control after the super technology comes out, after all, they are the landlords.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he shared his ideas with Joanna.
"The finesse of the computer-controlled process is incomparable even to the top architects, and the three-dimensional printing is from the inside out, its manufacturing effect will be more perfect, if necessary, even the architectural history can be faked, the only drawback is that the designer needs to deal with a lot of details."
Joanna says, "That's something to discuss with the designer. ”
An Feng nodded: "That's right." ”
They talked to the designer about the idea, and to their surprise, he was also looking forward to the idea, but for the sake of prudence, the designer's hard work should not be in vain, he had to make a sample first, and if it was suitable, he would do more detailed work and enter it into the computer.
An Feng is not worried about the effect, these machines were used to printer people.
If high-tech can be fully used, the construction time will be greatly shortened, and after some later manual processing, it may be completed in a year or two, and in the future, this land will magically erect a magnificent palace, as a connection between modern technology and ancient art.
