Rebirth of England

In England, heirs are allowed to sell part of the inherited assets to pay inheritance tax...

However, when many nobles are facing huge inheritance taxes, it is a very difficult choice to sell their properties on a large scale to pay inheritance taxes.

Because the education these nobles received since childhood is different from that of ordinary civilians. In aristocratic families, their children's education emphasizes their sense of responsibility for the entire family.

In other words, the title and family property you get will belong to you, but it does not completely belong to you, because both the title and the family's assets are generated through accumulation from generation to generation, so when you get these, Likewise, you need to assume corresponding responsibilities.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!

This is why Barron's grandfather, when faced with an inheritance tax of up to 7 million pounds, only sold a small part of the family property-mainly part of the land-to pay the inheritance tax, and was willing to spend the next 24 years , through working day after day, to repay the inheritance tax arrears, and finally preserve the family industry as much as possible.

Because growing up in such a family, the achievements of the Dukes of the past generations, and the glory that shines in British history, are the responsibilities that the heirs of this family need to bear - they cannot let the family be shamed, and they cannot let the family fall apart!

These can be said to be the beliefs engraved in the bones and blood of every family member - including Butler Sean, who has served in the family for more than 40 years. I am afraid that in his heart, he will also regard the honor of the Duke of Devonshire family. , seeing it as more important than your own life.

Because Sean is not only the steward of the entire family, but he also took over the position of steward of the family from his father. It can be said that their family has served the Duke of Devonshire family for life for three generations. Just consider yourself part of the entire family.

This is why Butler Sean said such things to Barron at this time.

For example, Julia Moore, although she can serve as the manager of the family trust fund and has close ties with the Duke of Devonshire family, her affection for this family will not exceed that of Butler Sean.

For Yulia, she certainly hopes that the Cavendish family can rebound, but in the end, the use and management direction of the family trust fund will be decided by the family heirs. Even if she is Barron's order, Even if you don’t think so in your heart, you will do the same.

But Barron can be said to have been watched by Butler Sean since he was a child. Butler Sean knows his character and abilities better.

Coupled with the critical situation facing the family at this time, he really did not want most of the family's industry to end in Barron's hands, so after hesitation, he expressed his worries.

"Butler Sean, although you are the butler, in fact, I regard you as my elder, so I hope you believe me. Everything I do is to preserve the family's wealth."

Barron knew what kind of person his predecessor was, and he had already anticipated the resistance he would encounter when using those funds after taking over the family.

At this time, he looked directly at Butler Sean and said to him sincerely:

"Perhaps my previous performance will make you lack confidence, but that is because my brother will do a good job as the heir, and I do not need to bear too much responsibility. But it is different now, at this time , we all have the same purpose, so I just hope you can give me your trust and help me get through this crisis."

To be honest, Barron at this moment actually feels a bit strange in the eyes of Butler Sean - even though he grew up watching him, the temperament displayed by Barron at this moment is different from that of the previous one who could be called Young people who can be called playboys or dandies are completely different.

This discovery also surprised Butler Sean, and at the same time he also had some expectations in his heart.

Can the young man in front of him really lead the Cavendish family to glory again?

Intellectually, Butler Sean feels that this is unlikely; but often at this time, people always hope more for a miracle to happen.

"I will sort out a list for you, Master Barron..."

Sean Butler finally wanted to give it a try.

…

After arriving at the manor, Barron felt the service enjoyed by the nobles for the first time.

Well, to be honest, it was a little uncomfortable at first, but once I got used to it, it felt really good.

Just like in his previous life, he couldn't imagine the kind of thing where other people would help put on the clothes, button them up, and finally put them in order.

But here, all this will be done by a valet.

You only need to stretch out your hand, and the other party will help you put on your clothes; standing there, they will help you organize your clothes. It is simply a matter of putting on clothes and reaching out...

Of course, what is different from what many people imagine is that in orthodox aristocratic families, of course those of a certain size, these things are done by dedicated male servants, and there are usually no personal maids to serve male family members. kind of thing.

Often valets serve female members; valets serve male members...

However, having one more servant in a family is of course not as simple as adding more food. It requires salary and some corresponding benefits. Therefore, unless there is a family of a certain size, a dedicated full-time personal servant is often very luxurious.

"Master, did we lose a lot of money?"

After helping Barron tidy up his clothes, Ramos stood behind him and asked slightly hesitantly.

"Did you hear what others said?"

Barron turned back to look at Ramos and asked.

"Yes, some servants are talking about it, and everyone is a little worried."

Barron also had expectations for these. Perhaps what Ramos asked was not just something he wanted to know, but many people also wanted to use him to confirm those rumors.

Since the last century, servants of noble families have had a certain degree of independence. It does not mean that all servants in this family belong to this family.

Rather, the relationship between the same families is more of an employment relationship. If a servant makes a mistake, the most you can do is fire him, or if it is a more serious mistake, then call the police. There is no such thing as lynching.

Although they are called servants, it is actually just a job for them. In the final analysis, they are earning wages for their livelihood, so it is very common for them to "change jobs" when there is a better place to go.

In such a family, there are very few secrets, especially among the servants. News often spreads quickly.

Everyone is making a living. If this place is going to be dilapidated, they will definitely want to find another way out as soon as possible.

"Ramos, there are some difficulties now, but I believe we can get through it. It won't be smooth sailing at any time, right?"
