It wasn't until Arthur saw the manor with his own eyes that he realized that the small manor mentioned by Steward Hunt was not small, and even quite large.

Although it is not comparable to the large estates and palaces of the British royal family, it also covers an area of 3 hectares, that is, 30,000 square meters.

If you look at the housing area of later generations, the 30,000-square-meter community can accommodate at least a thousand people, but in Arthur's case, it is only a manor house for the four members of the royal family.

The main body of the estate is made up of residential quarters, gardens, streams, lawns, orchards, fountains and a man-made lake.

The building area of the entire estate is not very large, only less than 3,000 square meters, of which the pavilion and stables occupy more than 500 square meters.

The actual residential area is less than 2,500 square meters, and it is a small palace modeled after an English palace, with the letter H in the shape of the whole thing, and the highest point of the whole house in the middle, where the royal flag is hung.

Although it did not occupy a large area, this small three-story palace still had more than fifty rooms, of which more than forty rooms were available for distribution, in addition to the more than ten small rooms where servants and subordinates lived.

Among them, the conference room, the dining room, the reception room, the broadcasting room, the office and the rooms of the royal family occupy 20 places, and the remaining 20 rooms can be used as guest rooms in addition to placing items.

The largest room in the manor is the common conference room, which is more than 300 square meters in size. A giant oval conference table capable of accommodating more than fifty people.

On the periphery of the elliptical conference table, this is a large circular table made up of a circle of small tables.

The four circles of tables could accommodate more than 300 officials to meet here, completely satisfying the need for the House of Commons to meet while Arthur was living in the manor, and even to accommodate the expanded House of Commons in the future.

In the center of the innermost elliptical conference table is an elliptical staircase with a protrusion of 15 centimeters.

A lectern will be placed on the stairs, facing the top of the conference table.

This podium was used for the speeches of the delegates at the meeting, and the position directly opposite the head also showed respect for Arthur.

I finally visited the whole manor, and the time had come to noon.

Even Arthur and the others had a luxurious breakfast when they set off, and after a morning of sightseeing, they all began to feel hungry.

"Your Highness, I have already had lunch ready, and the manor's restaurant has already been cleaned up. Is it dining now? "Steward Hunter is very understanding, and when Arthur was just feeling hungry, Steward Hunter was already asking about it at the right time.

Arthur nodded, looked at Margaery and Patricia, who were also looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Then let's go to dinner first, after a morning of walking, I must have been hungry." ”

Unlike the temporarily renovated top floor of the government building, there are five restaurants in the estate, large and small, divided into private dining rooms, that is, places where members of the royal family eat privately. There is also a communal dining room, banquet hall and meeting hall.

Among them, the banquet hall is the most solemn and elegant dining room, and the banquet hall is the largest dining room.

This time, Arthur and the others went to a private dining room, located on the west side of the third floor of the manor.

The decoration of the private dining room is completely according to the preferences of the royal family, because Butler Hunt knows that Arthur does not like to be high-profile, so the decoration of the private dining room is relatively elegant, except for a few oil painting decorations, it is relatively simple.

Lunch at noon is an authentic British meal, although the UK is not very rich.

The main dish is a sausage with mashed potatoes topped with some gravy for a bit of an appetite. The main course is fish and chips, which are fried by removing the bones and head, cutting the fish into strips and wrapping them in wet dough.

There is also a steak made from Italian beef in Italian beef, the skin is roasted golden brown and crispy, and you can see the bloody beef inside when you cut it.

These dishes are the best tasting delicacies in British cuisine, and they are also British delicacies that Arthur is more acceptable.

After eating this rather hearty meal, Lord Louis returned to the government building with Margaery and Patricia.

Before the manor was completely renovated, they still had to temporarily live in the government affairs building for a while.

Arthur, on the other hand, stayed for a short time and rushed to the next place with Steward Hunter.

South of Sydney Harbour, in the middle of a wasteland.

It's not far from Sydney Harbour, but it's still uninhabited for the time being because the surrounding land has not been developed.

I have to say that Australia is now sparsely populated, and this land is a fertile land on the plains of southeastern Australia.

But because Australia is so sparsely populated, this large and fertile land has not been developed.

Arthur walked around briefly, observed the terrain, and then nodded with satisfaction, and said to Butler Hunter: "Butler Hunter, when will our shipyard be completed?" ”

This is actually the address chosen by Butler Hunter for the new shipyard, which is an area relatively close to the port.

The advantage here is that it is relatively close to the port, and it is more convenient in terms of material transportation. In terms of topography, it is a good place to build a shipyard.

"Your Highness, most of our equipment and staff have been shipped to Australia, and all we need now is time to build the plant and install the equipment. I don't think it's going to be too long, and I expect that in three or four months, our shipyard will be initially operational. Butler Hunt said.

This shipyard is one of the most valuable possessions left to Arthur by Duke Arthur, and it will allow Australia, which has no shipbuilding capacity, to take a big step forward in the shipbuilding industry.

The shipyard was able to independently design and produce small warships of less than 5,000 tons, and was involved in the construction of heavy cruisers of more than 10,000 tons.

This is why Arthur insisted on relocating the shipyard to Australia completely, so that having a shipyard that develops and produces small warships on its own is definitely a resource that Australia cannot lose.

The same is true for military factories and steel mills, which can bring a lot of knowledge and experience to Australia, which is weak in industry, and avoid many detours.

Thanks to Duke Arthur, Arthur was able to own these few factories that were so important. Thanks to Duke Arthur, Arthur was able to relocate these factories to Australia in its entirety.

Without these factories, it would have taken at least a decade for Australia to master these technologies.
