Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 491 Communication
"Hello, I'm the mayor of Fox Town below." After Liang En opened the door of the room, the middle-aged man at the door quickly extended his hand to say hello, "This time, I mainly came to see our new neighbors, and at the same time, we had a meeting with the baron. You discuss something."

"Come in first, sit down and have some tea. We can't stand at the door and talk." After hearing the other party's background, Liang En made a gesture of invitation to invite the middle-aged man into the house, and then said.

"However, I think there may be some problems with your information. Although I am indeed the new owner of the more than 3000 acres of land, I am not a baron, but just a commoner."

"Don't you know?" The middle-aged man who claimed to be the mayor showed a surprised expression. "I thought you acquired the land for that Scottish feudal title."

"What baron title?" Hearing what the other party said, Liang En felt even more confused. "There were actually some accidents in my acquisition of this land, so I only know the area and general situation of this land.""

So that's the case, it seems that you are different from what we thought before. "The mayor showed a suddenly realized expression after hearing Liang Enyi's words, and then explained to him the situation inside.

It turned out that what Liang En won this time was not only the land, but also the title of Baron of the Fox Fief associated with the land. The reason why he didn't know it was mainly because everything was a little too hasty, and he was a little too anxious.

In fact, if there is no accident, his lawyer should remind him of this in a few days, because the transfer of the title needs to be registered with the representative of the Queen of England in Scotland——Lord Lyon, Lord Lyon The new owner is issued a coat of arms representing the rank of nobility.

But then again, this so-called title of knighthood is fine to talk about in informal occasions, but it is not a recognized noble status, and this is when the other party handed over this pile of things to Liang En, No specific reason for reminder.

According to the law, all official titles of nobility in the UK must be canonized by the Queen, and titles like this are legally regarded as hereditary civilian titles.

The reason for this situation starts with the history of Scotland and the British aristocratic system. Traditionally, nobility can be divided into two types, one of which is the nobility conferred by the monarch, while the other is a semi-independent existence with its own territory .

It's just that with the passage of history and the gradual strengthening of the royal power, the recognition of nobles in most parts of the world has gradually turned to the first method, while the second method has gradually disappeared into history.

This is the case in the United Kingdom. Historically, the aristocratic system in England, Wales and Ireland has gradually shifted from the second to non-existent.Therefore, there are no so-called fiefdom nobles in these lands.

But the situation in Scotland is another matter, because the time for Scotland to be incorporated into the United Kingdom is too short, and this barren land does not receive much attention, so these ancient feudal remnants still exist.

However, existence belongs to existence, but it is inevitable to be excluded from the mainstream, so now anyone who has not been canonized by the queen is not legally recognized as a true nobleman.

From a certain point of view, this title is actually of the same nature as a certain landlord, so it sounds not only unpopular at all, but also full of a strong smell of land turtles.

But even so, there are still many suitors for this false title. At least as far as Liang En knows, there are many uninformed foreigners who are willing to spend money to buy this type of title, because they think that this thing is the same as the real noble title. the same.

But in fact, these things are not as valuable as those unscrupulous businessmen boasted, not to mention that even the privileges left by the real nobles are only some ceremonial or symbolic things, at least in daily life. unuseful.

Therefore, after a brief understanding, Liang En had no interest in this title that could not even add the word Lord before his own name.

To be honest, Dr or Prof is more realistic if he really needs the title to show his status, and for him now, it can be said that he can get these two titles at his fingertips.

After all, many of his previous studies were of an epoch-making nature, but they have not been obtained for the time being because the time for those things to be proposed is too short.

But as time went by, Liang En would easily obtain these titles representing academic level after these proposed theories were recognized by more people.

After figuring out what was related to the title, Liang En asked the mayor of Fox Town why he came to find him this time, and he learned that the reason why the other party came here was mainly related to this land.

The other party hoped that Liang En could allow the local people to continue to have the right to fish in the river, pick up dead branches and mushrooms in the forest, and pass through his territory harmlessly.

"Of course I thought, but if I want to sign a written agreement, I need to sign it with the help of my lawyer." After listening to the other party's narration, Liang En generally agreed.

Because the content of the request made by the other party is very reasonable, and according to the information he has found before, although the owner of the land has a series of rights, under normal circumstances, some of these rights should also be transferred to some local aborigines.

It is true that some new super-rich landowners have canceled some of the rights that were originally transferred to the indigenous people after acquiring the land, completely prohibiting others from operating on their land.

This approach is likely to affect the overall local situation. For example, for some agricultural land owners, they can legally expel those farmers who have cultivated the land for generations.

After all, according to Scottish law, the owners of those lands have the right to take back the land without compensation and expel those farmers, as long as the land is no longer used for agricultural or industrial production.

For people in the past, not carrying out these productions may affect many things, but for many people who buy land now, they just want to buy land and store the land for appreciation.

Therefore, for them, renting the land to others is obviously too complicated a matter. It is better to plant trees directly on the land after driving the people away. Of course, these people will not pay attention to the thoughts of the local people. .

But Liang En is different from them, at least in his opinion, when people get along with each other, sometimes they need some emotions rather than cold rules, so sometimes they make a little concession that does not harm their fundamental interests Not bad.

More importantly, Liang En obtained very little agricultural land in the land, and he managed it himself, so there were basically no farms that were most prone to human-land disputes, and naturally there were not many conflicts of interest.

After getting the answer from Liang En, the mayor of Fox Town also showed a smile on his face. After all, he is asking about this matter on behalf of everyone in the town. It is naturally a good thing to get a good answer.

Also because of such a good beginning, when Liang En asked about the situation here, the mayor knew everything, allowing him to obtain a lot of first-hand information about this land through just a few hours of conversation.
