Chapter 597 Free People

For Lorist, there are two major events that really deserve his attention in 1783 of the Gailint Asian Continental Calendar. The first is the enthronement ceremony of the Second Highness that has been held. Although the ceremony has become a past tense, the unhappiness that occurred in the process and the fear expressed by the second highness have made the relationship between the four northern alliances and the second highness headed by the Norton family change from relaxation and friendship to tension and confrontation. This indicates that the future Christian Empire will become a arena for the two forces. The situation in the empire will not be calm until the sword master of Lorist and the second emperor of the imperial emperor have no victory or defeat. Down.

The second major event was the completion of the Bear Palace outside the east gate of Angry Bear City. After three and a half years of construction, nearly 200,000 laborers and thousands of skilled craftsmen worked hard, and the magnificent Bear Palace was finally completed. In this Gailint subcontinent world, there is no such thing as feudal violations. As long as the nobles of the territory have money and strength, they can build a palace beyond the scale of the imperial palace as their own residence. This is not only to show the strength of one's own family, but also to leave a famous family legacy for future generations, and also to engrave one's own reputation in history. For example, the Merchubi Palace of the Handra family and the summer residence of the Forendo family.

What made Lorester dumbfounded was that he decided to build the Bear Palace back then, not with the intention of building a great palace with a history. The original intention was to solve the problem of overproduction in the factories and mines in the family territory. Simply put, it was to export. The type of production is transformed into the development of 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 the slack in the farming, and then allow them to use the money earned by working to buy the living materials piled up in the warehouses produced in the family territory, so that the economic and trade of the family territory can be obtained. Circulation and development, change the bad habit of burying the people as soon as they have money in case of accidents...

Therefore, the stalls in the Bear Palace are very large, but in terms of details, the layout and decoration are not elaborate or gorgeous. For Lorist, the so-called palaces in the world of Gailintia are actually just a combination of several ornately decorated castles and several gardens. They do not have the atmosphere and atmosphere of the palaces in his previous life. Magnificent. Moreover, the construction period is also short. All the famous palaces in the previous life were completed for more than ten years. After all, this is a world of vindictiveness. Some craftsmen with vindictiveness are digging into the mountains and fetching stones. The construction of houses and roads has great convenience and greatly improved Improve the efficiency of the building.

Lorester intervened in the design of the Bear Palace, and more imitated the layout he saw when he took the female secretary to visit the Forbidden City in his previous life. Although it is impossible to replicate the palaces in the Forbidden City, the huge layout also caused the West. Master Roba’s admiration believes that Lorist has extraordinary architectural talents and is good at building layout and leveling. It's just that when Lorist got the master design draft, seeing the Gothic buildings arranged in accordance with the layout of the Forbidden City, he always felt a little nondescript, but he couldn't change it.

On the contrary, Master Siropa was very ambitious and prepared to make this Bear Palace building the first palace in Gailint Asia, so that he would stay in history. If Lorist hadn't defended him and had decided on the name of the palace early, maybe Master Siropa would be willing to give up all his fame, wealth, and title, and would just engrave his name on this palace. If this palace could be renamed Siropa Palace, then Master Siropa would be willing to die.

In the construction of the Bear Palace, Master Siropa devoted all his efforts and energy to the quality of the project, not letting go of any mistakes, and the whole person lived on the construction site. Because the stalls were too large, the initial construction budget was two million Golden Ford, a two-year construction period. But soon, at the request of Master Siropa, the cost rose from two million Jinford to three million, five million. Finally, under the bewilderment of the top house of the world, Director Speer approved a huge amount of construction funds of 8 million Kingford. The construction period has also changed from two years to three and a half years, the estimated 100,000 labor force has also doubled, and all the skilled craftsmen who can be summoned have been summoned.

For the family treasurer, Viscount Speer, spending money on the Bear Palace is not a waste, but a business. With the strength of the Norton family today, it really needs such a magnificent palace to set off the majesty of the family. In particular, Lorist’s promotion to the sword saint of the town is the greatest glory of the Norton family in three hundred years. There must be a palace worthy of its status as a residence. After hundreds of years, the descendants of the family can still live here. This palace looks back at the glory of the ancestors and the pride of the family.

When Lorist got the total cost of the Bear Palace, the whole person was stupid, eight million Golden Ford, which is equivalent to more than three times the annual family income of the Norton family a few years ago. Speer, who has always been known for his stingy and stingy The supervisor even agreed to spend so much. If it weren't for Lorester's belief that the family's financial supervision has strict regulations, and every expenditure has been reviewed by a dedicated person, he might be planning to send someone to check whether there is corruption and false reporting.

Fortunately, the family has opened a business route to the central and southern parts of the mainland. The market with Morente City as the transit and wholesale center can provide the family with more than 6 million Golden Ford every year, and the large trade market in Lingang also has One million gains. Even though the family armed forces spent three years defeating the business alliance in the Mana Hill Plain, it cost a lot to expand the family fleet and lease the territory of the Free Alliance. However, the harvest has supported such huge expenditures, and there is no need to worry about the economic crisis of the family in a few years.

The eight million-cost Bear Palace... Lorist smiled bitterly. He would rather spend these gold coins on the development of the people’s livelihood project in the family territory, or in the military plan of the family’s armed forces, rather than building such a luxurious palace. It was an unexpected result. The Bear Palace, which was originally planned to spend two million to build, was just to stimulate the domestic demand of the family territory, and did not require much refinement. Perhaps in the future, Lorist could be opened to become a public playground and museum exhibition room, but don't think about it now. Such a luxurious palace can only be used as his own residence.

To some extent, Lorist did not like living in such a luxurious palace. Unlike Princess Silvia, the four concubines, and the children's expectations, Lorist prefers to live in a simple fortress castle, just like a rock castle, where you can hear the military camp every morning The sound of horns, the sound of horses, and the shouting of soldiers during training. For Lorist, this is real life.

A passage read on the Internet in his previous life is still fresh in Lorester's memory. That passage is about the palace. He thinks that the magnificent palace is a gorgeous bird cage. When the emperor lives in, he locks himself in the bird. The cage. So few of the descendants of the founding emperor who are wise and martial arts are promising, because when they live in the bird cage of the palace and pretend to be the sons of heaven and pretend to be mystery, they are also virtually emptied by a large number of bureaucrats and divorced from reality. Being manipulated like a bird in a cage. For example, in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the emperors who followed were all raised into rubbish...

In October, Lorist left Hilovas Island with his family and returned to the Northland, preparing to move to the completed Bear Palace. In fact, Lorist didn't like the name of the Bear Palace. Although he decided on the name, it was the result of the collective praise of the retainers. The Norton family is known as the roaring bear in the Northland, so the names of the retainers are all related to bears. The Bear Palace is considered the most suitable name and magnificent. Lorist thought for a while and felt that it was better than the Silopa Palace, and then he decided on the name.

"His Royal Highness, there are a total of 3,461 statues of devil bears in the Bear Palace, with different shapes and movements. For this reason, we commissioned the mercenaries to capture 17 devil bears in Manyuan to observe their lives. Habits, I painted it as a reference, and finally chose the appropriate action and image to sculpt it..." Master Siropa pointed to the naive and charming statues of bears placed on both sides of the road and proudly introduced them to the Lorist family. With its own careful design and layout.

Well, you spend more and more money like this. Did labor and capital enter the bear playground? Lorist could only complain silently in his heart. Compared with Lorester’s distress, his wife and children have long been touched by the gorgeousness and style of this bear palace. Princess Silvia is very satisfied with her new residence. As for the children, they have already been wild and surrounded. With those devil bear statues, he began to play a chasing game. And Anderber, the bear kid, has already climbed up to the biggest devil bear statue, proudly showing off his abilities on it, and a few close servants are anxious to follow him...

Busy and tired! In addition to moving to a new home, Lorester, who has returned to the family territory, is also preparing to hold a New Year celebration in the Bear Palace. Because it is the first time to be held in the Bear Palace, Lorester must not be lazy, busy welcoming guests who come to congratulate the housewarming all day long. At this moment, he missed the leisurely and clean days at Sakura Ridge Resort the year before and last year...

After the new year, Lorester finally became clean during the rainy season. 1784 has come. The plan that the Norton family will carry out this year is to establish a new province in a vast area centered on the two mountain towns in the northern part of the family territory, under the Magic Dragon Mountain One more new territories. This province to be established is named Pangshan Province, which means the province next to the Devil Dragon Mountain Range.

"I am going to implement a new land private policy in Pang Son Province." Lorist made a decision.

In a sense, the more than three million people living in the Northland are actually tenants of the Norton family, because the entire land in the Northland is the private property of the Norton family. Although the Norton family armed forces forcibly moved more than two million people from other places to the North, they also divided fields and houses so that they could live and work in peace. In fact, the land cultivated by these people is not privately owned by them. 50% of the land produced every year is the rent they pay. 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, but this requires the approval of the Norton family and the payment of a tax or handling fee.

In the Northland, except for the manor that the Norton family gave to the family Golden Knights, the ownership of the land belongs to the Norton family, whether it is the Dawn Academy or the Noble Special Zone. The land occupied by Chenxi Academy is provided by the Norton family free of charge and has no time limit. But if Chenxi Academy wants to relocate to another place, the land it occupies will be unconditionally taken back by the Norton family. This is an undisputed result.

Unlike the Noble Special Zone, the Norton family sold the right to use these lands. The nobles who bought the land could build manors and castles on it, which could be passed on to their descendants in the future, and they could also be bought and sold freely. The Norton family had no right to interfere. However, the purchaser of these land must pay a land use fee for the land every year. Although the amount is not large, if a noble family cannot afford the land use fee, once the unpaid land use fee is accumulated At a fixed amount, the Norton family has the right to confiscate the castle and manor on the land to offset the debt.

Of course, the Norton family are not greedy vampires. They will deduct debts based on the discounted market price of the manor and castle on the land and return the excess funds to the original owner, or find another noble to take over and let him and the original owner. Make a transaction and let the original owner pay the land use fee in arrears. But for a nobleman, leaving the noble zone means that he is excluded from the aristocratic circle of the Northland. This is an intolerable ending. Therefore, even the nobles who borrowed usury to do business at a loss must stay in the noble zone. , Because that means he still has a chance to make a comeback.

Why did the Norton family develop real estate in the original seven towns of Fengle a few years ago, but the demand fell short of demand and prices kept rising? Very simple, because these developed real estate and noble special zones are treated the same, but noble status is required. This is an unforgettable opportunity for the wealthy leaders, and these houses are better than those given to them. For example, if a farmer who bought a house developed by the Norton family real estate, he returned the assigned house, the land he cultivated was reduced by 10%.

The biggest difference between family territories and territories is that in territories, the family is the biggest landlord. To govern territories, those canonized vassal territories nobles are the real landlords~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Apart from these fiefdoms, the remaining territories belong to the family. Therefore, for some large realm nobles, they are very unwilling to canonize their vassal lords or meritorious officials who are stingy in canonizing their men, because for them, the production of the territory is their income, and canonization of a vassal lord is just It is equivalent to reducing the gold coins in one's purse.

Lorist intends to implement a land private policy in the newly built Pangshan Province, that is, to transfer the land ownership. In other words, if Northland is a socialist public ownership of land, then the land policy of Pang San Province is a capitalist private ownership. This is also the way out of nowhere. New construction in Pangshan Province requires people. But these leaders cannot be immigrants who are forced to move, but powerful immigrants who need to have the force and the ability to fight back independently. After all, Pangshan Province is adjacent to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range and the Barbarian Plains. In addition to preventing the mountain barbarian tribes of the Devil Dragon Mountain Range from going down and looting, they must also guard against the invasion of the fierce beasts of the Barbaric. Self-protection.

Although large mountain barbarian tribes and warcraft groups are escorted by family armed groups to **** the invasions, small-scale robbers and attacks by groups of three to five can be difficult to defend against even family armed groups. Therefore, Lorist hit his idea on the mercenaries and family veterans, and the condition to attract them to settle down in Pangshan Province is the land private policy to be implemented, and every mercenary who is registered as a citizen in Pangshan Province. Both family veterans and family veterans can own 100 acres of land, including ownership and use rights. Ten years later, whether it is a sale or transfer to future generations, they will make their own decisions without the approval of the Norton family.

"Perhaps, these people who own their land in Pang Shan Province will become the first free people in our family territory." Lorist said.
