buy estate

Stayed in a luxury hotel for one night and enjoyed the aristocratic service of this world. Early in the morning, Donald took the butler to the branch office of the Kingdom's Noble Council Management Office in Boulder City.

The reason why he came up with this ancestral treasure auction, in addition to earning some element spar to reserve, the main purpose is to earn a gold sol to buy the manor.

The aristocratic manor industry has a long history. Whether it is a court noble with only a false title, a lifelong lord or knight with only a title, or a high lord who leads a party, at least one manor will be purchased under the name for vacation and leisure and maintenance expenses.

There are many famous and beautiful estates under the name of the Celtic royal family, the most famous of which is the Sherlock Manor, one of the three major holiday resorts in the kingdom. It is also the production place of the top white wine Sherlock. The private property of His Majesty the King.

When Donald first came to this world and hadn't successfully opened the book of truth, he set his goal on buying a house and buying land.

As a Chinese person in his previous life, Donald, who lived and worked in a crowded big city, always had the highest goal of being able to own a property, no longer living in a cramped apartment, and running around for life. This is also the general psychology of their generation.

In this world, there is the title of aristocrat. Although it is very difficult to regain a fief, it is still very reasonable to buy a manor to use as an industry to maintain daily expenses.

After all, the world has no territory or the aristocrats with small and barren territories still account for the majority. For the big nobles, the manor is just a splendid existence, while for the financially-strapped small nobles, most of them will have one or a few producing economic Crop manor, relying on the profits obtained from it to maintain the huge expenses required for the life of the noble nobles, especially the palace nobles who have no actual fiefs, they are not as good as some of the lowest life nobles who have received the title of nobles because of the awards. In the countryside, they lived a prosperous life by buying property. The nobles of the court who had to work in the capital had to maintain their face and socialize from time to time. All expenses could only be supported by the production of the manor under their name.

Now that he has sufficient funds, Donald is the first time to come to understand the process and conditions of buying a manor. If there is a suitable one, then start buying it today.

In this world human society, business between manors can only be carried out between nobles, and of course it is divided into the management of the noble council presided over by the royal family. The commission drawn from the business is also one of the biggest sources of income for members of the royal family.

Except for the nobles with titles, others are prohibited from buying and selling manors. That is to say, no matter how rich a businessman is, as long as he is not a nobleman, he cannot own his own land except for shops and private residences in the city.

Therefore, some wealthy businessmen flock to the title of aristocrat, and try their best to obtain aristocratic status, even if it is just a mere lifetime lord who has no territory and cannot be hereditary.

Some businessmen will cooperate with the poor nobles, buy a manor in their name, and then distribute the profits from the operation to the partners, which not only maintains the life of the poor nobles, but also satisfies the wishes of their own manor owners. It can be said that It's a two-in-one thing.

The Noble Council Management Office is a two-storey building located in the noble area of ​​Stone City. The lower level is the reception office hall, and the upper level is the reception room for officials. After all, it is impossible for the nobles to be managed by the commoners, so the officials of the management offices of the noble councils in various places are all subordinate to the royal family or members of the nobles elected from the children of the local nobles.

After Donald entered the hall of the management office, he made a general observation, and then got the conditions and procedures for purchasing the manor from the attendant in charge of reception. Of course, he also paid a silver month tip. This is the most anticipated income of the servants of the management office who serve the nobles, and sometimes it is even more than their salary.

What they like most is the arrival of the real noble nobles, not the butlers who do things for the nobles. Those serious and miserly butlers will not tip you anything more than a few bucks without the orders of their masters!

Donald, who got the inside information, took the housekeeper and went straight to the official in charge of buying and selling the manor.

There are only three real officials in this building, one is responsible for recording disputes between nobles, one is responsible for delivering documents and letters from the royal family and local nobles, and the other is responsible for registering taxes on noble territories and buying and selling estates.

The first two are idle jobs, and the last one is the fat job who really masters money. Without a certain background, it is difficult to get this position.

The Sir Jesse that Donald was looking for was an official sent by the royal family to Boulder City.

Sir Jesse is in his mid-thirties. He looks like a young nobleman in his early twenties when he is well maintained. Many nobles in Boulder City have praised Sir Jesse for his elegant demeanor. Donald looks like this look is a bit contrived.

Although the appearance is indeed gorgeous, this Sir Jesse reminds Donald of the characters in the anime in his previous life, and the intimacy and actions of the other party also make Donald feel tired and his face is a little weird. You must know that the otaku and the rotten girl in the previous life have always been two extremes, and the two groups that do not deal with each other often cause disputes in the online forums!

"Sir Jesse, you and I are meeting for the first time, but your name Donald has already been heard!"

Donald took the initiative to introduce himself and explain his purpose.

"This time I'm going to buy a manor, but thanks to your great contribution to the nobles of Stone City over the years, first of all, please allow me to prepare a small gift for you personally, I hope you can accept it !"

"Knight Melina, you really surprised me!"

After Ser Jesse opened the sheepskin sack that Donald handed over, he was blinded by the golden light, and his tone was at least three times as eager as he was a little excited.

Nobles of the same rank and above, who have no actual territory and are titled for life, can only be called knights, not adults. Many non-heirs of noble families or concubines of the royal family will be given such a title to accompany a small amount of property when they reach adulthood, allowing them to live independently from the family. This is a good tradition in this world to keep the number of nobles from overflowing.

In general, civilians who have established military exploits on the battlefield will be given the title of lifelong knights and become the knight masters that everyone admires. This is also the reason why some young people are eager to join the army. However, there are no civilians who can really succeed. Most of them either die on the battlefield, or return to their hometowns with pain and a few pensions to die.

Those titled nobles who are of noble origin and have noble status have no real power, and even their property is not comparable to that of ordinary wealthy businessmen. In order to seek a better quality of life, they become real hereditary nobles, and even obtain their own land. , Most of them will join a kingdom or a local institution and become an official in it, and even join the army directly, hoping to gain military merit and be promoted by noble children.

This Sir Jesse is a typical one of them. He was born in a noble family in the capital, but he was not a direct heir, but an illegitimate child. He was able to get this job because of his father's attitude towards him. Lover's mother very loving relationship.

However, Jesse, whose status is not as good as others, did not give up, but worked very hard, hoping to obtain at least the title of a hereditary lord before the age of forty, and then establish a new noble family.

And the young man in front of him, who was already the heir of a hereditary knight at a young age, aroused his jealousy as soon as he met. It is said that the other party's family was also a nobleman with a rich manor and a small fief a few decades ago. Unfortunately, he lost his territory early and became a poor nobleman in his life. This inevitably made Jesse feel a little happy. .

But then I heard that the other party wanted to buy the manor, and also gave such a big gift, which made Jesse both envious and happy at the time.

When he was kicked out of the house and bought the position with the property allotted to him, Jesse was still very ambitious. After living in Boulder City for a few years, he knew that his wish to become a hereditary nobleman before the age of forty was hopeless. With no merit or background, he would be able to obtain a nominal honorary title before his death. It is the favor of the royal family.

Seeing that he is already thirty years old, his current goal is to get at least one manor before the age of thirty-five, so that his life will be guaranteed for the rest of his life.

That's why this Sir Jesse accepts bribes from time to time in various names. For him, who has a little real power, it is relatively easy to get some gold soles, but the price required for a good manor is really high. , in the past few years, he has only accumulated two thousand gold sols, and now this Melina knight gave him a hundred gold sols as soon as they met. How could this not surprise Jesse?

For the first time, accepting so many bribes made Jesse feel a little uneasy. No matter how much he thought about it, Jesse couldn't stand the temptation of King Sol and chose to accept the other party's kindness.

"Anyway, it's what you want and I won't be known by outsiders. With this one hundred gold sol, plus the commission after buying the manor, it's enough for me to buy one in the most fertile area near Boulder City. It's a small manor."

"It's a big deal, on the basis of not breaking the laws of the kingdom, in the process of this matter, you can choose the best manor for him."

Calmly stuffing the heavy bag in his hands into his arms, Sir Jesse then continued with a smile and said with peace of mind:

"Knight Donald is really a model of the kingdom's nobles. Why do you want to buy a manor? Then please come with me!"

Donald saw that the other party accepted his gift, and then instead of working downstairs, he took himself to the lounge upstairs. He knew that the silver moon he just gave to the attendant was not in vain.

"Knight Donald, please take a look, these are all the manors near the Stone City that have been consigned by the management of the noble council over the years. These are all the excellent manors that have been consigned recently. They have not been announced to the public yet. You can choose first."

After a few people came to the reception room upstairs to take their seats, Sir Jesse took out a three-foot-square animal skin map from the drawer. The map used color paint to paint the terrain of the large land where the Boulder City is located, and some red Pieces of paper were scattered and pasted on it, apparently representing the various estates for sale.

Donald immediately took a closer look and found that the distribution of manors was relatively concentrated in the locations around the Stone City and between the south and other territories. In the north, the direction near the Green Mantle Forest and the Izumo Mountains is relatively rare.

And Sir Jesse really deserved that bag of Kingsol, and enthusiastically pointed him to some popular manors with the best locations, the most abundant products and the most fertile land.

But those places could not satisfy Donald in terms of terrain or size. Suddenly Donald saw the location where the Red Maple Town was written. There were two connected pieces of paper nearby. This was already the most fringe area in North County, and there was no piece of paper to the north.

Donald saw a move in his heart, and couldn't help but point to it and asked:

"Sir Jesse, why are these two manors placed together? Is there a story?"

Seeing what Donald was pointing to, Sir Jesse seemed to remember something, frowned, and said in a slightly dark tone:

"Knight Donald, these two manors have been on consignment in our management office for several years and no one cares. I advise you not to be interested in them."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"That's right, this place was originally a territory that was awarded by hereditary lords for military exploits. The other party was assigned to the most remote city in the kingdom, North County Jushicheng, because he offended the great nobles of the capital. That land was originally It is a small part of the periphery of the green cloak forest. After the lord opened it, it became the most fertile land on the left and right sides of the boulder city. The left side is a small manor under the name of the lord, and the large area on the right belongs to him directly. It's just that a few decades ago, when the monsters in the Izumo Mountains rioted, the Lord's territory was located at the edge of the forest, and the territory just completed did not establish a strong defense like Hongfeng Town, so it was quickly removed from the city. The herds of beasts surging out of the forest were trampled down!"

"The poor lord also died under the beast's mouth, and there was no heir, so the royal family took back the title, the manor was owned by the kingdom, and it was put on consignment at the management office, and then the territory was reserved for later seals. It's just that the miserable experience of that lord is repeated. In the past few decades, no one dared to accept this fief. In the end, the royal family decided to designate the originally small lord's territory as a large manor, and bundled and sold it together with the adjacent small manor to earn money for the royal family. Expenses!"

After listening, Donald thought about it and asked, "Sir Jesse, what are the prices of these two manors?"

Sir Jesse almost didn't open his eyes when he heard it, and said quickly: "Don't you really want to buy these two manors, Knight Donald? Absolutely not! To tell you the truth, although these two manors are bigger than the others. There are many, but it's just a trap set up by the royal family to get cash!"

Seeing Donald's puzzled look, Sir Jesse explained:

"In the past, there were people who were greedy for cheap. After spending money to buy them, they were ready to fight, but they fled in half a year. After years of abandonment, the large manor has changed from fertile soil to barren wasteland, while the small manor has been abandoned. Although the land is still fertile, it can't stand the constant harassment of beasts and monsters. It is a place where whoever buys will lose money. Even the royal family doesn't care about these two pieces of land at all, and the selling price is decreasing year by year, just to attract nobles Buy it to make money from it, so you must think carefully about it, Knight Donald!"

After listening to Jesse's heartfelt advice, Donald couldn't help but have a good impression of this fancy aristocratic young man. But the more so, the more he is interested in these two manors. Warcraft or something, with his artifact of the book of truth, there are many ways to easily solve it, but the biggest obstacle in the eyes of others is not a big deal here!

As for the problem of barren land, it is even easier to solve. Some simple agricultural knowledge from previous lives should be able to achieve improvement. And the most important thing is that these two manors are located in remote areas, which is perfect for Donald, who has many secrets that he doesn't want to be known by outsiders, and because it was all forest and wild land at that time, it needed to be developed by the lords themselves, so the royal family made the most of the area. With a lot of compensation, the area of ​​this territory is much larger than that of ordinary knights and lords.

Thinking of this, Donald has already determined his choice in his heart.

"I've already thought about it. I want these two manors. Ser Jesse doesn't need to persuade them. I don't know what their prices are?"

Sir Jesse sees Donald's look

It's not like he's joking, and it's not like the decision to sit down for a while, and finally persuaded, but the other party still insisted with a smile, so he had no choice but to say:

"Since you have decided, Knight Donald, I can't say anything. As for the price of these two manors, although the area is huge, because no one buys it all the year round, the royal family has pushed the price down to 1,800 gold sol. If Sir, you pay today, I can shorten the survey process and procedures to three days, and after three days, the official contract of the manor can be handed over to you."

Donald was naturally very satisfied when he heard the words. He used the excuse of going back to the hotel to get back the funds. In fact, he took out 1,800 gold soles from the space imprint. Then he checked out and took the carriage back to the management office. After paying the money, it went smoothly. to get a contract to buy the manor.

After Sir Jesse left each other contact information for a future party, Donald got into the carriage again and drove to another target.

"The information that the attendant gave him is really accurate. If you don't win over this Sir Jesse, not only will you not be able to buy the ideal manor, but also the preliminary investigation procedures will be delayed again and again, and finally the manor will be in your hands, I'm afraid I will miss it too. The best planting season has been reached, and we can only reclaim it after the spring of the coming year."

One hundred gold soles are just a small amount of money to Donald now, and everything is worth it in exchange for the smooth acquisition of the manor.
