Chapter 72: Housewarming
"My lord, congratulations, my lord!" On this day, Brown was very excited to congratulate Leo, which made Leo a little more curious than he was looking forward to.
"What's the matter? Did you find something?" Leo asked expectantly.
"Sir, do you still remember the two large mansions we raided?" Bella said mysteriously, with an unconcealed smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Of course I remember," Leo nodded, and immediately seemed to think of something, and said with a little surprise, "You won't cut it, will you?" It was a large mansion, or two in the center of the capital. The value of the mansion can be said to be astonishing, that is, because of the inspection, it was inspected at its face value.
If it is resold in the future, it will be more than enough to increase the value several times, and ordinary real estate... well, ordinary house transfers must be filed with the city planning department, not to mention such a luxury house in the central area.
How dare they?
"I heard that you don't have a place to stay now, sir. It's really because we are subordinates to make you feel so wronged." Bella said with a smile.
this……
Leo was stunned for a moment. Could it be for him? Even if it was given to him, how could he dare to ask for it? This thing is too easy to check, and there is no need to look for ready-made evidence. Although he can suppress it in his identity, it has a great impact on his reputation.
No, I can't.
"I appreciate your kindness, but..." Leo shook his head slightly, already with a hint of rejection.
"Sir, don't be in a hurry to refuse," Brown walked in with a stack of thick sheepskins on the side. "This is your majesty's reward."
Ok?
"Your Majesty specially gave you the Ike family's mansion on Carter Road after hearing about your lord," Brown said with a smile, and put the stack of sheepskins in front of Leo, with a full square above it. Several large forms are the house certificate, land use certificate, and construction permit certificate of Nakarta Road, etc...
It can be seen that Brown is also attentive. Everyone above has changed from the original Marquis of Ike to the current Leo Archimonde.
……
"It's not bad," Leo looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him. Although it was not the mansion of Marquis Ike, it was obviously another mansion that the Ike family smashed heavily in the center of the capital. The mansion where the Marquis of Ke is located is inevitably a bit unlucky now, even if he is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose this one.
Carter Road, nearly half of the street has been occupied by this huge house. This is a two-storey semi-square building, which is quite in line with Leo's wishes. After all, he was used to seeing square houses in his previous life. Seeing each other again and again, there is a bit of intimacy.
The huge house was built with precious stones with exquisite texture. Leo vaguely recognized one of them as dark blue ochre marble, a kind of stone that the nobles loved very much. The natural texture was extremely smooth, but it was expensive.
The huge mansion has its own unique beauty. The heavy and luxurious cornice on the top has elegant carvings, which makes the whole feeling extremely harmonious. Most of the furnishings that have been taken away are also returned. The murals, valuable antique wall clocks, and exquisite and beautiful stone carvings all highlight the essence of this era, and the heritage of the Ike family can be seen in general.
Outside the mansion, the bright stone and white walls are full of solemnity. Leo soon fell in love with it. After buying a few servants to clean the place, he moved in with a large number of people. Thirty-strong lion-level infantry, by the way, there is also a seven-man Teck barbarian squad, and a twenty-four-man Ice and Snow Guard.
In this way, there are more than 50 people, and it can barely support the facade of this place, but it still looks a little shabby, after all, such a large mansion is located in the center.
……
In the afternoon sun, Leo was lying on the round table in the garden. He seemed to be thinking about something, and when he heard something, he picked up a delicate cup on the table. The light brown liquid in it was filled with a rich aroma. and a slight fishy smell.
The coffee-colored liquid is naturally coffee, which is also beyond Leo's expectations. In his impression, Leo's baron in a remote area has never appeared, but later from the patrol. It is not surprising that the author collected some information.
It is said that this was the northern expedition of the Bacchus Empire, which was resisted by the martyr king Alfred for a long time. In the end, there was civil strife in the empire. Ossa had no choice but to no longer go north. He returned to the southern border of Pande and established a new Bacchus empire. A large number of supplies, including coffee beans, were used by the oil refiners and brewers in Lithon Realm to develop coffee based on these coffee beans and the cooking experience obtained from the imperial people.
However, coffee in this era is naturally very simple, but it improves the brain. When drinking alcohol is prohibited, the nobles will use coffee instead, and after Leo gets simple coffee, it is mixed with milk to improve The taste is vaguely reminiscent of a previous life.
"Master, Captain Cary is back." At this time, the guard on duty stepped forward to report.
Captain Cary? Leo was slightly in a trance. The situation in the capital has been changing recently, and I haven't heard this name for a while, but it suddenly sounded in my ear, and I still miss it.
Leo got up and wanted to greet him, but when he was halfway there, he saw this burly man rushing over, and he also beat Leo heavily on his chest with a bit of excitement, and bowed with a standard understanding, " Sir, I'm back."
"Well," Leo nodded, slightly restraining his original joy, "How is the situation in Lanxia Village now?"
Before, because there was a lot of involvement in the royal capital, he asked Captain Kari to take away most of the men and horses to return to the territory with Achle's caravan. All are a force to be reckoned with.
"Master, the envoy of the capital has already announced the order of His Majesty the King. The craftsmen dispatched from the Great River City are already in place and are building the city according to the blueprints before you left," Captain Kari replied, "Among them, the Governor of the Great River City is out took a lot of effort.
It stands to reason that the city was built by a team of 80 craftsmen. I didn't expect that the Governor directly dispatched five teams of craftsmen, all of which were the most first-class.
These people cooperated with the residents of our Lanxia Village, and the speed of building the city is still very fast. If it weren't for the drawings you gave me, sir, it would have been completed in about ten years. "
Captain Cary's words were filled with a touch of joy, but Leo's mood was quite unpleasant, more than ten years? Is this less? According to what the Cary team has, Chang said, ten years of effort may not necessarily be able to form?
This is too...
For a while, Leo was a bit speechless, yes, does it really take several generations to build a city? But he is not very patient at the moment?
At this time, Captain Cary was also looking left and right, obviously looking quite curious. Such a large mansion has a very visual impact on Captain Cary who has been in the country for a long time. This one can be called a lion. There are mansions that can be counted in the capital of Jingwang, gorgeous and exquisite designs everywhere, and extremely luxurious buildings. Where can a small baron on the border of the fierce lion be comparable?
"Master, are you changing the mansion now?" Captain Kari also asked directly, "I remember that you handed over most of the dinars to Achle before, you were able to be in such a good place so soon. Leisure, isn't the house in the royal capital an inch of land? That's it?"
What a good Captain Cary, why did he have a mouth? Leo couldn't help but secretly slandered, at this time, as a subordinate, shouldn't he strongly praise the master's wisdom and martial arts. In such a short period of time, did the king have such a great foundation?
Look at what this Captain Cary said. Leo glanced angrily, making Captain Cary quite annoyed.
"Stop talking about this, how is old Cole doing? Did you ask you to bring me anything?" Leo turned to think of something, and asked again, the old village chief of those years, the obvious old Ji Fuzheng, Leo also granted his wish.
Isn't that the former village chief of Cole who is in charge of the Lanxia Village Household Registration Department now?
Before Leo left, Lanxia Village was actually a little overwhelmed. It already has a population of a small and medium-sized city. It is also a big challenge for the officials of the territory. Fortunately, the responsibilities of this part were separated and dedicated to It was given to the old Cole village chief, the old Cole who was the first to respond and brought the specific situation in the village when he issued the summoning order.
"Ah, yes," Captain Cary patted his head, as if he had just remembered something took out a parchment.
Phew... Familiar style, familiar self, old Cole's prefix, such as "Dear Earl..." or something, those vain things, Leo skilfully jumped over.
Looking at Leo, he seemed to be quite interested. Captain Cary didn't dare to disturb him. He looked around, looking around at such a mansion. Such a situation.
Well, the current Lanxia Village, no, it should be said that the Lanxia City is under construction. Good guy, there are already more than 3,000 households. Leo is not surprised by the expansion of strength, but this also reflects the side. Out of the current situation of the Lion Kingdom.
Many nobles are high above and dominate everything. Most of the commoners live a hard life and are oppressed. There are countless refugees. Those noble lords don’t care about the lives of refugees at all. Many even feel that refugees have soiled their territory. The fewer refugees the better.
Under such circumstances, the roots of the entire Fierce Lion Realm Kingdom are almost completely rotten, but fortunately, the Fierce Lion Realm Kingdom can be said to be hanging in the air, and the power is from top to bottom, ruling everything, making all the unstable factors , do not bury everything.
However, although this will not have a peak effect, it also completely restricts the development of the entire country. It is located in the center of Pande and occupies the most fertile part of the ancient Pande Kingdom in the past, but its strength is far less than what it used to be. In the ancient Pande kingdom, the flag of the Lion King is full of Pande's wishes. Under the leadership of King Ulric at this time, Leo is not optimistic.
Of course, thanks to such a policy, Leo can have so many opportunities for expansion. If it is placed in the empire, do you want to increase his strength so quickly? That's just delusional!
