Chapter Seventy-Two: The Joy of Housewarming
"Your Excellency, congratulations, Your Excellency!" On this day, Brown congratulated Leo very excitedly, which also made Leo look forward to it a little more curious.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" asked Leo with a look of expectation.
"My lord, do you remember those two large mansions that we raided?" said Bella mysteriously, with an unconcealed smile on her lips.
"Of course I remember," Leo nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and said with a little surprise, "You won't cut it off, will you?"
If it is resold in the future, it is more than enough to increase the value several times, and ordinary real estate ...... Ordinary housing transfers are to be filed with the urban planning department, not to mention such a luxury house in a central location.
How dare they?
"I heard that you don't have a place to settle down now, so you are so wronged, it is really not our subordinates. Bella said with a smile.
This......
Leo was stunned for a moment, could it be that it was for him? Even if it was for him, how dare he ask for it? This thing is too easy to check, it is simply ready-made evidence and there is no need to find it, although it can be suppressed with his identity, but it will also have too much impact on his reputation.
No, you can't.
"I understand your kindness, but ......" Leo shook his head slightly, already with a hint of rejection.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, sir," Brown walked in with a thick stack of sheepskins, "This is Your Majesty's reward." ”
Well?
"Your Majesty, after hearing about your lordship, has given you the Ike family's mansion on Carter Road," Brown said with a smile, placing the stack of parchment rolls in front of Leo, and above them were several large forms of house certificates, land use certificates, and building permits for Carter Road......
It can be seen that Brown is also attentive, and everyone above has changed from the original Marquis of Ike to the current Leo Akmund.
......
"It's really good," Leo looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him, although it was not the mansion of the Marquis of Ike, but as another mansion that the Ike family had invested heavily in the center of the royal capital, it was obviously quite magnificent, and the mansion where the Marquis of Ike was located was inevitably a little unlucky now, even if he was to choose by himself, he would definitely choose this one.
Carter Road, almost half of the street has been occupied by this huge mansion, this is a double-storey semi-square building, to the point that Leo is quite in line with his heart, after all, in the previous life, he was used to seeing square houses, and seeing him again at this time has a somewhat intimate feeling.
The huge houses were built of exquisite precious stones, one of which Leo vaguely recognized as dark blue ochre, a kind of stone that was extremely popular with the great nobles, with extremely smooth natural veins, but expensive.
The huge mansion is built with a different kind of beauty, the heavy and luxurious cornice at the top has a light and elegant carving, which sets off the whole feeling very harmoniously, and most of the furnishings that have been taken away have been returned, ancient murals, valuable antique wall clocks, and exquisite stone carvings, all highlight the essence of this era, and the heritage of the Ike family can be seen in general.
Outside the mansion, the white walls of Akashi are full of solemnity, Leo soon liked it too, and after buying a few servants to clean up the place, he moved in with a large number of men and horses, at this time there were about thirty Lion Realm infantry, by the way, there was a seven-person Tek barbarian squad, and twenty-four ice and snow guards.
In this way, there are more than 50 people, and they can barely support the façade here, but it is still a little shabby, after all, such a large mansion is in the center.
......
In the afternoon sun, Leo lay on the round table in the garden, as if thinking about something, hearing something, and picked up a delicate cup on the table, the faint coffee-colored liquid in it exuded a rich aroma, and a faint fishy smell.
The coffee-colored liquid is naturally coffee, which is also an unexpected place for Leo, in his impression, the Barony of Leo in that remote area, but this thing has never appeared, but it is not surprising that he later collected some information from the Wind Patrol.
It is rumored that this was the northern expedition of the Bacchus Empire, which was resisted by the martyr King Alfred for a long time, and finally the empire was in civil strife, Osa had no choice but to stop the northern expedition, retreated to the south of Pande, and established a new Bacchus Empire, leaving behind a large number of supplies, including coffee beans, and the oil refiners and refiners of the Lion Realm relied on these coffee beans and the cooking experience obtained from the Imperial people, and finally developed coffee.
However, the coffee of this era is naturally very simple, but it enhances the awakening, in many times when drinking is prohibited, the nobles will use coffee instead, and after Leo got the simple coffee, he is even more mixed with milk to enhance the taste, to the faint shadow of the previous life.
"Young Master, Captain Kari is back," at this time, the guard on duty stepped forward to report.
Captain Kari?Leo was slightly in a trance, the royal capital has changed recently, and I haven't heard this name for a while, and it suddenly rings in my ears, and I still miss it.
Leo got up and wanted to greet him, but as soon as he was halfway there, he watched this burly man rush over, and he also beat his chest heavily at Leo with a little excitement, and bowed to a standard understanding, "Young master, I'm back." ”
"Well," Leo nodded, slightly reining in his original joy, "How is the situation in Lanxia Village now?"
Before, because the matter of the royal capital was more involved, he asked Captain Kari to take most of the men and horses to return to the territory with Achile's caravan, after all, the team of so many people, whether it is to help the territory to open up the wasteland or to sweep away the thieves, is a force to be reckoned with.
"Young Master, the envoy of the royal capital has already gone over to announce His Majesty's order, and the craftsmen transferred from the city are in place, and the city is being built according to the drawings before you left," Captain Kari replied, "Among them, the governor of the city has made a lot of effort.
It stands to reason that the city should be built by a team of eighty craftsmen, but I didn't expect that the governor directly sent five craftsmen, all of whom were the most first-class ones.
These people cooperate with the residents of our Lanxia Village, and the speed of building the city is still very fast, if it weren't for the drawings you gave me were too magnificent, I am afraid that it would have been built in about ten years. ”
Captain Cary said with a hint of joy, but it made Leo's mood quite unhappy, more than ten years? This is still less? According to what the Cary team has, for a long time, more than ten years of hard work may not be able to take shape?
It's also too ......
For a while, Leo was a little speechless, right, building a city, or does it really take generations of effort? But at present, he is not very patient?
And at this time, Captain Kari was also looking left and right, obviously quite curious, such a large mansion, for Captain Kari who has been in the countryside for a long time, is still extremely visually impactful, this can be called a mansion that can be counted in the capital of the Lion Realm, with gorgeous and exquisite designs everywhere, extremely luxurious buildings, where is a small barony on the edge of the Lion Realm can compare?
"Young Master, are you going to change your mansion?" Captain Kari also asked directly, "I remember that you handed over most of the dinar to Achile before, you were able to relax in such a good place so quickly, isn't the house in the royal capital an inch of land?"
What a good captain Kari, why did he have a long mouth? Leo couldn't help but secretly slander himself, at this time, shouldn't the subordinates praise the Lord for his wisdom and martial arts, and in such a short period of time, he has such a great inheritance in the king?
Look at this Captain Karry, what are you talking about, Leo glanced at him angrily, which made Captain Kari quite stupid.
"Don't talk about that, how is old Cole doing?, did you ask you to bring anything to me?" Leo turned to think of something, and asked again, the old village chief back then, obviously the old man was in trouble, and Leo also fulfilled his wish.
Now the household registration department of Lanxia Village, isn't it the old village chief Cole who is in charge?
Before Leo left, in fact, Lanxia Village was a little overwhelmed, it already had a population of a small and medium-sized city, and it was also a big challenge for the ability of the officials in the territory, but fortunately, this part of the responsibilities was separated and handed over to the old Cole village chief, who was the first to respond and bring the specific situation in the village when he summoned the order.
"Ah, yes," Captain Kari patted his head, as if he had just remembered something, and pulled out a parchment roll.
Call...... Familiar style, familiar self, old Cole's prefixes, such as "Honorable Earl...... or something, those vain things, Leo jumped over very skillfully.
Looking at Leo seemed to be quite interested, Captain Kari didn't dare to disturb, looking left and right, looking around at such a mansion, it seemed particularly surprised, if Leo insisted on describing, well, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, just like that.
Well, today's Lanxia Village, no, it should be said that the Lanxia City under construction, good guys, already has more than 3,000 households, and the swelled strength makes Leo not ordinary surprise, but this also reflects the current situation of the Lion Realm Kingdom.
Many nobles are high and dominate everything, most of the commoners live a hard life, they are oppressed, and there are countless refugees, and those noble lords do not care about the lives of the refugees at all, and even many feel that the refugees have soiled their territory, and they wish that there would be fewer refugees as possible.
Under such circumstances, the roots of the entire Lion Realm Kingdom are almost completely rotten, but fortunately, the Lion Realm Kingdom can be said to be suspended, and the power is from top to bottom, ruling everything, so that all unstable factors are not buried.
It's just that although this will not have the pinnacle of consequences, it also completely restricts the development of the whole country, in the center of Pande, occupying the most plastering place of the former Gupande Kingdom, but the strength is far less than the former Gupande Kingdom, the Lion Realm King is full of Pande's wishes, under the leadership of King Ulrik at this time, Leo is not optimistic.
Of course, thanks to such a policy, Leo can have so many opportunities to expand, if it is placed in the empire, if you want to increase your strength so quickly?
