Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 579: Free people
Chapter 577 Free People
For Lorist, Grindia Continent common calendar is really worthy of his concern in 1783. There are two major events. One is the Second Highness ascension ceremony held by already. Although the grand ceremony already has become a past tense, the unhappiness and stigma expressed by Second Highness in the process have caused the relationship between the four alliances of Northern Land and Second Highness headed by Norton Family from easing friendship to tension and confrontation, which indicates the future Krissen Empire will become a two-way arena. Until Lorist, kingdom guardian Sword Saint, and Second Highness, Empire Emperor, do not decide the outcome, the situation of Empire will not calm down.
The second major event is the completion of the Bear Palace outside the Angry Bear City East Gate. After three and a half years of construction, nearly 200,000 labor(er)'s hard work and elaborate craftsmanship by thousands of skilled artisans, the brilliant Bear Palace has finally been able Completed. In this Grindia Continent world, there is no such thing as feudal violation of regulations. As long as you have the money and strength, Territory Aristocrat(s) can build a palace beyond the Imperial Palace scale as its own residence. This is not only to show the strength of his own family, but also to leave a famous family heritage for future generations, but also to imprint his reputation in history. For example, the Mercury Palace of the Handra Family and the Summer Palace of the Flendo Family.
What made Lorist cry and laughter was that he decided to build the Bear King Palace that year, not to build a great palace with a well-known history. The original intention was to solve the problem of overproduction in the industrial and mining workshops of the family Territory. Simply put, Export-oriented production is transformed into domestic demand. At the same time, it also allows the leaders of the family Territory to have a chance to work and earn money during farming leisure, and then let them use the money earned by the work to buy the living materials produced by the family Territory in the warehouse, so that the economic trade of the family Territory can be obtained. Circulation and development, changing the bad habits that lead people to bury when they have money ...
So the stalls of Bear Palace are very large, but in terms of details, the layout and decoration are not particular and gorgeous. To Lorist, the so-called palace of Grindia Continent in the world is actually just a combination of several ornate castles and gardens. There is no Imperial Palace atmosphere and grandeur in his previous impression. And the construction period is also short. All of the famous palaces in the previous life were completed more than ten years ago, and this is the Battle Qi world after all. Some artisans with Battle Qi took stones in the mountains and built houses, which greatly improved the road construction. The efficiency of the building.
Lorist intervened in the design of the Bear Palace, more mimicking the layout seen in his previous life when he took the female secretary to visit the Forbidden City. Although it is impossible to copy those palaces in the Forbidden City, the huge pattern also caused Grandmaster Ciroba praises that Lorist has extraordinary architectural talents and is good at the layout and hierarchy of buildings. It was just that when Lorist got the master design draft, he looked at the Gothic buildings in accordance with the layout of the Forbidden City. It always felt a little bit nonsense, but he couldn't change it anymore.
It is Grandmaster Ciroba with ambitious ambitions to prepare this bear palace building as the first palace of Grindia Continent, so as to keep its name in history. Had it not been for Lorist's defense, he had set the name of the palace early, maybe Grandmaster Ciroba would be willing to give up all his reputation and wealth, as well as his title, and would only have his name carved on this palace. If the palace can be renamed Siropa Palace, Grandmaster Ciroba will be willing to die.
During the construction of the Bear Palace, Grandmaster Ciroba can be said to have invested all the effort and energy, and strived for excellence in the quality of the project, without letting go of any mistakes. The entire person lived on the construction site. Because the stall was too large, the initial project construction budget was two million gold fordes, with a two-year construction period. But soon under the requirements of Grandmaster Ciroba, the cost rose from two million gold fordes to three million, five million. In the end, inspired by the name of the first palace in the world, the director of Speer approved a huge construction fund of 8 million gold fordes. The construction period has also changed from two years to three and a half years, and the estimated 100,000 labors have also doubled. All skilled craftsmen who can be called have been called over.
For the family's financial director Speer Viscount, spending money on the bear's palace is not a waste, but a matter of business. With the strength of Norton Family today, it really needs such a magnificent palace to set off the majesty of the family. In particular, Lorist was promoted to kingdom guardian Sword Saint, which is the greatest glory of Norton Family in three hundred years. There must be a palace worthy of its identity as a residence. After hundreds of years, the descendants of the family can still look back at the palace Brilliant and family pride.
When Lorist got the total cost of the bear palace, the whole person was stupid, eight million gold fordes, which is more than three times the annual income of the family of Norton Family a few years ago. The Speer supervisor who has always been known for his discouragement even agreed to spend. So much. If it is not Lorist, I believe that the financial supervision of the family has strict regulations. Every expense will be reviewed by a person. Maybe they are going to send someone to check whether existence is reporting corruption and misrepresentation.
Fortunately, the family already has opened commercial routes to the central and southern parts of the mainland. The market with Morante City as the transit wholesale center can provide the family with more than 6 million gold fordes income every year, and the Jillin Harbor large-scale trade market also has 1 million. reward. Even if the family armed forces defeated Trade Union in Falik Plains for three years, it still cost a lot to expand the family fleet to lease the Territory of the Free Alliance. But the harvest also supports such huge expenditures, and within a few years you don't have to worry about what kind of economic crisis will happen to the family.
The Bear Palace with a cost of eight million ... Lorist smiled bitterly. He would rather spend these gold coin(s)s on the development of the people ’s livelihood project of the family Territory or the family ’s armed forces armament plan rather than build such a luxurious palace. This was really an unexpected result. The Bear Palace, which was originally planned to cost two million yuan, was designed to stimulate domestic demand for the family Territory, and did not require much refinement. Maybe in the future Lorist can also be opened as a public playground and museum exhibition room or something, but don't think about it now. Such a luxurious palace can only be used as its own residence.
In a way, Lorist does not like to live in such a luxurious palace. Unlike the Princess Sylvia and the four attendants, and the children's expectations, Lorist prefers to live in a simple fortress castle, just like Boulder Castle. Every morning, I can hear the horn sounds of the barracks, the sound of horses, and soldier(s) screams during training. For Lorist, this is real life.
A passage I read on the Internet in the past made Lorist fresh. That passage was Imperial Palace. I thought that the magnificent Imperial Palace was a gorgeous bird cage. When Emperor lived in, he locked himself in it. Bird cage. Therefore, few of the wise and ill-founded descendants of Great Emperor were promising, because when they lived in the bird cage of Imperial Palace to pretend to be mysterious, they were virtually overheadd by a large number of bureaucrats under their control. Like a bird in a cage. For example, in the Song and Ming dynasties, the Emperor in the back were all turned into waste ...
In October, Lorist left his family with Silowas Islands and returned to Northern Land with his family members, and began to move to the bear palace which was completed by already. In fact, Lorist does not like the name of the Bear Palace. Although it was set by him, the name is the result of the collective respect of his family. Norton Family is known as Northern Land's Roaring Angry Bear, so the names of the family members are related to the bear. The Bear Palace is considered to be the most suitable name, and it is magnificent. Lorist thought about it and thought it was better than calling Siropa Palace, so this name was set.
"His Royal Highness, there are a total of 3,461 statues of Devil Bears in the Bear King's Palace, with different forms and actions. To this end, we commissioned Mercenary to specifically capture seventeen Devil Bears in Yuanyuan to observe them. I painted my life habits as a reference, and finally chose the appropriate action and image to sculpt ... "Grandmaster Ciroba pointed to the sturdy state of the two sides of the road, and the statues of the devil bears proudly introduced their own to the Lorist family. Carefully designed and furnished.
Well, the money is spent more and more by you. Is this the labor and capital that went into the bear playground? Lorist can only silently vomit in his heart. Compared with Lorist's distress, his wife and children have long been touched by the gorgeous and magnificent style of this bear palace. Princess Sylvia is very satisfied with their new residence. As the children have already scattered the wild and started around those devil bear statues Play the game of chasing. And the bear child already of Anderbell climbed to the largest statue of a devil bear, proudly showing his ability on the top, and anxious servants were anxious to follow him ...
Busy and tired! Back to the family Territory, in addition to relocating to their new home, Lorist is also preparing to hold a New Year's celebration in the Bear Palace. Because it is the first time to be held at the Bear Palace, Lorist must not be lazy, and is busy welcoming guests who come to Daohe to relocate. At this moment, he misses the leisurely and clean days at the Sakura Ridge Villa last year and last year ...
After the year, Lorist finally cleared up during the rainy season. The year 1984 came. This year, the plan for Norton Family is to prepare a new province in the north of the family Territory, under Demonic Dragon Mountain Range, and in the vast area centered on Twinhill Small Town. Directly under the jurisdiction of Territory. The province to be established is named Panshan Province, meaning the province next to Demonic Dragon Mountain Range.
"I am going to implement a new private land policy in Panshan Province." Lorist made the decision.
In a sense, more than three million leaders currently living in Northern Land are actually Norton Family tenants, because the entire Northern Land land is the private property of Norton Family. Although Norton Family armed forces compulsorily moved more than two million leaders from other places to Northern Land, they also gave them a lot of land and houses to make them live and work in peace. In fact, the fields cultivated by these leaders are not their private ownership, and 50% of the annual output of the fields is the rent they paid. Regardless of whether it is a field or a house, they cannot buy or sell, but they can repair and rebuild and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. However, this requires the approval of Norton Family and a tax or fee.
In Northern Land, in addition to the estate that Norton Family gave to the family Golden Knight, the ownership of land, whether it is Dawn Academy or Aristocrat(s) Special Zone, belongs to Norton Family. The land occupied by Dawn Academy is provided by Norton Family for its use free of charge and has no term. But if Dawn Academy wants to relocate to another place, the land it occupies will be reclaimed unconditionally by Norton Family, which is an uncontested result.
The Aristocrat(s) special zone is different. Norton Family sold the right to use these lands. The Aristocrat(s) purchased on these lands can be used to build manors and castles on it. In the future, it can also be passed to children and grandchildren, and can be bought and sold freely. Norton Family has no right to interfere. However, buyers of these lands must pay a land use fee for these lands each year. Although the amount is not large, if a Aristocrat(s) family cannot afford to pay this land use fee, once the unused land use fee accumulates, At a calibrated amount, Norton Family has the right to confiscate the castle and manor on this land to offset the debt.
Of course, Norton Family is not a greedy vampire. They will deduct the debts based on the discounted market price of the manor and castle on this land and return the excess funds to the original owner, or find another takeover Aristocrat(s) and let it Transaction with the original owner, and then let the original owner pay the arrears of land use payment. But for a Aristocrat(s), leaving the Aristocrat(s) special zone means that he is excluded from the Aristocrat(s) circle of Northern Land. This is an intolerable ending, so even the Aristocrat(s) borrowing from usury to do business at a loss must stay in the Aristocrat(s) special zone. Because that means he still has a chance to rise again.
Why did Norton Family develop real estate in the original seven cities and towns of Fengle a few years ago, and the supply exceeded the demand? It's very simple, because these real estate developments are treated the same as Aristocrat(s) special zones, but they do not need Aristocrat(s) status. This is a rare opportunity for the wealthy leaders. These houses are better than the houses given to them. For example, a farmer who bought a house developed by Norton Family real estate, he returned the share of the house, then the farmland he reduced will correspondingly reduce the production tax by 10%.
The biggest difference between the family directly governing Territory and Territory is that in the municipality Territory, the family is the largest landowner. Under the jurisdiction of Territory, those enlisted vassals Territory Aristocrat(s) are the real landlords. In addition to these land seals, the remaining Territory belong to the family. Therefore, for some large Territory Aristocrat(s), they are very unwilling to register their vassal Lord(s) or the meritorious officers who have been trapped under the seal, because for them, the production of Territory is their income, and the registration of a vassal Lord(s) is quite Yu reduced gold coin(s) in his wallet.
Lorist is preparing to implement a private land policy in the newly established Panshan Province, which is to transfer land ownership. In other words, if Northern Land is a socialist land public ownership system, then the land policy of Panshan Province is capitalist private ownership. This is also no way out of it. New construction in Panshan Province requires leadership. But these leaders cannot be immigrants who are forced to migrate, but powerful immigrants who need to resort to force and the ability to counterattack on their own. After all, Pangshan Province is adjacent to Demonic Dragon Mountain Range and the Wild Plains. In addition to preventing the Mountain Barbarian tribe of Demonic Dragon Mountain Range from looting down the mountain, it is also necessary to prevent the invasion of the wild magical beast, which requires the leaders to have some force to protect themselves.
Although big Mountain Barbarian Tribe and magical beast The invasion of groups has families armed forces Legion To escort, but the attack on small-scale robbers and groups of three or five is so small that even families armed forces Legion It is also invincible. and so Lorist Hit the idea to those Mercenary Veteran with family soldier(s) And the conditions that attracted them to settle in Panshan Province are the private land policies that are to be implemented. Mercenary Veteran with family soldier(s) Can have the autonomy of one hundred acres of land, including ownership and use rights. After ten years, whether it is a sale transaction or passed on to future generations, it is up to them to decide on their own without the need Norton Family Approval.
"Maybe these leaders who own their land in Panshan Province will be the first free people in our family Territory." Lorist said.
