Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

According to Liang En's previous plan, he will live here for a while and then repair it, while completing a summary paper on the salvage.

To be honest, although the wealth gained from this salvage is very large, it is actually not very valuable from an archaeological perspective. However, there is a lot to be written about the impact of the marine environment on archaeology.

In particular, in order to facilitate the analysis, Liang En made a small program this time to use the impact of ocean currents on various items. This small program is expected to be of certain use to future underwater archaeologists.

Of course, considering the complexity of underwater ocean currents and terrain, this small program cannot be particularly useful, but it can at least help everyone narrow down at least half of the search scope and reduce additional expenses during the excavation process.

But just when Liang En had just written his first paper, a phone call interrupted his plan. To be precise, this was a call from Mr. Doulis to Joan of Arc, saying that he wanted to give Joan of Arc a Christmas gift: a manor in England.

The reason for giving this gift is simple, because for Mr. Dulis, since he has now become a hereditary Duke of the United Kingdom, owning property, especially real estate, in the United Kingdom is inevitable.

After all, judging from the history of nobility, the core of nobility lies in the ownership of land, and it is basically impossible for nobility without land to integrate into the aristocratic circle.

For example, the main reason why the former Duke of Manchester was considered a down-and-out noble was that he no longer owned any land. Even if he still had money or securities, he would be rejected by the nobles.

The previous Duke of Manchester currently only has one ancestral property left, Kimbolton Castle, but it was leased by the 10th Duke in 1951, along with a 50-acre estate. The castle is now a private school.

In 1975, his eldest son and heir sold the remaining 3,250 acres because the family's financial situation had become so bad that they had to resort to this method to raise money.

The family also previously owned Tandragee Castle in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, which was sold by the 10th Duke in 1955. The remaining estate was sold in 1975 and is now the headquarters of Tatto (NI) Ltd.

Even two months before the title change, the other party completely sold the remaining Bolton Castle to the private school, so not even the last thing related to the land was left.

In short, by the time Mr. Dulis got the title of Duke, the title had completely become an empty title, so he had been planning to repurchase part of the land.

Of course, this does not mean that he will hope to own a large amount of land like the ancient nobles, but no matter what, there must be a traditional noble manor.

However, it is not easy to buy a traditional noble manor, because this thing will only become less and not more. As long as the nobles sell it to non-nobles in the inheritance, this kind of manor will become an ordinary manor, even if it is sold to a noble later. It is impossible to recover.

In other words, this kind of manor is a very rare and important non-renewable resource, so much so that Mr. Dulis cannot find a suitable manor before the knighthood ceremony with the wealth and status he possesses.

As for buying back the original real estate, it is basically impossible, because every owner of the land is not short of money, so it is naturally impossible to give up these high-quality assets.

Fortunately, not all modern nobles are in good financial condition, so last winter, Mr. Dulis finally found a lord who was willing to sell his manor and successfully bought the other party's real estate.

The reason why it was given directly to Joan of Arc is also very simple, because unlike other properties that have been managed by pre-prepared foundations, this manor basically cannot meet the needs of foundation management.

So in order to avoid paying a large inheritance tax, Mr. Dulis naturally decided to hand over the manor directly to Joan of Arc. In this way, he could avoid this huge inheritance tax.

Of course, another reason is that he feels that as his heir, Joan of Arc should also have some properties of her own, but with Joan of Arc's temperament, it is obviously inappropriate to give her those properties to practice.

So after repeated weighings, Mr. Dulis felt that a manor like this was the most suitable property for Joan of Arc, because if she wanted to develop in this area, a manor could make a big career, and it would not be a problem to become a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Sorry, it seems that the plan we prepared before has to be changed." After hanging up the phone, Jeanne looked at Liang En and shrugged helplessly. "Now we need to go straight to England."

"Nothing." Liang En smiled and shook his hand. "I'm actually very curious about such a noble manor, so I thought it would be interesting to accompany you to take over the manor."

So in the afternoon of the next day, Liang En and the others took a flight back to London. They stayed in London for one night to get jet-lagged, and then took a taxi to Woodbridge, a small city in Suffolk County, northeast of London.

Woodbridge is a town in Suffolk, East Anglia, England, located on the banks of the River Deben, close to the coast. This is a beautiful town with 1,400 years of history, and it's definitely a great place to relax and unwind if there's nothing going on.

When the car drives through the streets of the city, you can see the historical buildings of Woodbridge, as well as the quiet promenade on the banks of the River Deben and many boats moored on the pier.

According to the travel brochure found on the mobile phone, there are many independent shops on the commercial streets in the city. You can buy some traditional and exquisite goods while savoring the town scenery such as houses and blue brick roads.

The various restaurants and pubs are the best place to experience the customs and customs of Woodbridge. You can also go for a quiet walk along the beautiful river, or take a boat ride to slowly admire the ancient buildings, or visit the mill on the river bank.

In addition, large green spaces, scenic parks and fun-filled festivals are also worth visiting.

"After we finish the formalities there, we can come here for a walk." Now that Christmas has passed for more than a month, this small town seems even more lively.

After all, after the festival of gathering with family is over, everyone naturally has more time to spend a holiday in this traditional attraction near London.

Unlike most Easterners, especially Northeast Asians, who focus on visiting many attractions at once during their vacations, Europeans and Americans obviously prefer to stay in one place for a long time during their vacations, so there are many tourists walking leisurely on the streets. With.

"It's a good idea. Since you can't vacation in the Caribbean, it's much more comfortable to vacation in the UK than to live alone in a room." Joan of Arc was a little eager to try Liang En's suggestion.

For her, squatting in a room all day is obviously a very boring thing, so it is obviously a very interesting thing to be able to walk around after finishing her official duties.

Soon, the car drove out of the city and crossed the river, heading east. Not far from the river, a manor gradually appeared in front of them.
