Chapter 3

    Arthur, who knew that too much is not enough, tried to endure the pain on his head and squeezed out a smile on his face. He said thanks to Paul, the housekeeper who had just helped him drink a little water.


    After that, there was an awkward silence in the ward.


    There is no way, Arthur really does not know what to say, especially the eyes of the other party are full of care, blame and disappointment. Combined with the behavior of the forerunners of the second class, Arthur really dare not speak casually and say words that are not consistent with his own personality, let alone the big trouble of words.


    As a housekeeper, Paul will not let the atmosphere continue to embarrass, but sit aside and begin to tell Arthur what happened during his coma.


    "Lord, the murderer who caused you such a wound has not been caught, but the police have been looking for it. Lawyer James Cronin will solve all the problems. You can rest assured... "


    " thank you for your trouble. " Arthur''s mouth is unnatural pull, know that he will not be investigated for legal responsibility is good, but also caught the murderer, two groups of football Liu busy scuffle, where to find what murderer, and found, he also can not pick clean himself, on the contrary, it is better to be like this, after all, in his consciousness, that scuffle, he also used his strong body to kill all sides, and the people who fell under his fist were also good How many?


    "That''s what you should do. However, the police may ask you to make a note. In a moment, the lawyer James will come and you can discuss with him..."


    "Yes, thank you, Paul." Arthur naturally knew it was to avoid all the trouble. However, he doesn''t want to continue to entangle himself in this disgraceful matter. The former goods may not care. But for Arthur now, when he is a football Liu hooligan, this stupid 13 "career" will never return. He is not a well-developed, full of brains and muscles. He is not a good landlord and runs to the street to die.


    "How''s the manor?"


    Hearing the unreliable Earl''s successor asking about the manor for the first time, Paul''s housekeeper''s eyes brightened. He knew that compared with big cities, life in the countryside was definitely not liked by young people. What''s more, there was 800 years of accumulated family pressure. Not everyone wanted to bear it, especially after paying the high inheritance tax In the case of debt, inheriting family property has become a burden.


    "Fortunately, according to the actual situation, 2200 acres of 3000 acres have been allocated to six farms for tenancy. As a result, 200000 pounds can be obtained every year, which is just enough to cover 150000 maintenance costs and the wages of all employees of the castle.


    The Nai cheese factory will have a surplus of 30000 pounds per year. In addition to repaying the loan from the bank, the rest is enough for your normal daily expenses


    Paul, the housekeeper, told Arthur the current situation of the country manor with a concise report. Hearing this, Arthur felt upset for no reason. He also understood why the predecessor didn''t have a cold about inheriting such a large family property.


    Although he got a huge legacy, Arthur Boleyn began to worry about the condition of the dilapidated old house all the time. Is it possible to leak the rain? Do you want to have it repaired?


    All kinds of high fees are absolutely killing.


    For the simple minded predecessor, it is understandable that such a great pressure and burden suddenly came to him and he wanted to escape. But for Arthur Boleyn now, this kind of opening is undoubtedly a big pie in the sky. It''s a good thing to wake up in a dream.


    Thank God, I didn''t leave the castle to the national trust. When I came back, there was no place to cry.


    As long as he can make full use of the rest of the land, he can make full use of the land around him.


    We should know that there are about 1000 hereditary nobles in Britain. They have been able to laugh until now. Even some noble families have more wealth than the royal family. There are very few nobles who still have money and land.


    Facing the huge inheritance tax, many nobles did not have enough money to maintain the manor and had to lose their property. Since 1900, 1200 manors have been demolished in England alone. In 1950, manors were demolished at the fastest rate in history, and one estate disappeared every five days in Britain.


    But the nobles were still the great landlords of England. According to statistics, more than one-third of British land is still in the hands of a very small number of aristocrats. It is no doubt very difficult for Arthur''s Bolin family to survive and preserve 3000 acres of land under the impact of various stages of the times. It also shows how the last generations of Bolin family tried their best to preserve these ancestral properties.


    Although the nobility has a large area of land, but they lack cash flow, their wealth has been completely unable to compare with those fund managers, let alone those IT tycoons. Except for a few nobles who can develop land into real estate, most of them have fallen into the middle class.


    "Paul, how much debt do I have to pay now?" Arthur asked with a wry smile"Cough..."


    Paul, the housekeeper, was also very surprised to show a look of embarrassment. He coughed slightly, and his face also showed a touch of unnatural. He began to soothe his mouth and said, "let''s wait until your injury is cured. Now, the most important thing is to treat the injury. Because you have been hit hard on the head, you have a little concussion, and you will have some headache, nausea and other sequelae, You have to have peace of mind treatment and rest. "


    Arthur couldn''t help but pull at the corners of his mouth. Paul''s housekeeper''s evasive attitude made him understand that the fund hole left would not be too small. However, how he searched his memory, he did not find the relevant content from the residual consciousness. It seems that the former two goods should not have understood at all.


    "Cough... What''s up with the press and the press? "


    However, with his IQ, it is not difficult to guess what the problem is. After all, his inheritance is very clear, except for the 3000 acre manor in Hampshire in southeast England, the southern daily echo, a regional newspaper in Southampton, and a Boling publishing house.


    The manor can be self-sufficient and achieve balance of payments. Then the main source of debt is the newspaper and publishing house. Under the current economic environment and the huge impact of the Internet on the traditional media, we can imagine how the tabloid under its name will live.


    Looking at something very different from the past, even asked about the newspaper and publishing house, slightly excited Arthur, the housekeeper Paul quickly stood up, with a worried and helpless expression on his face, and tried to get up. Count Arthur, who was almost mummified, finally bit his teeth and said without any concealment.


    "Lord, don''t get excited. I''ll tell you what you want to know..."


    Arthur lay on the pillow, his eyes burning at the butler Paul, a heart also raised, he has a very bad feeling, and this feeling is growing.


    "The situation of the newspaper is really not very good. There is still a million pounds loan to be repaid. However, the situation of Bolin publishing house is still good, which can alleviate the shortage of funds for the newspaper to a certain extent..."


    Sleeping trough!


    The count''s title is poisonous. It''s not a life that people yearn for. It''s a huge pit!
