Chapter 215 The Dragon of Real Estate(1/2)
"territory?"
Renne was very surprised, and this request was really unexpected.
The dragons have a strong sense of territory. In the second era, when the dragons and giants ruled the world, the dragons divided their territory into territories, and each territory was like an independent kingdom, and the dragons were the supreme ruler.
This tradition has been going on until now, and it is no longer the world of dragons. They can only occupy mountains and become kings in places rarely visited, such as mountains, swamps, islands or primeval forests, and build nests.
However, I have never heard of a giant dragon who wants to establish a territory in the prosperous city of mankind.
This sounds strange.
Renn did not expose Xia Lanwei's identity, but pretended not to know and asked, "What are you doing in the territory?"
"This is my personal ideal!"
Mrs. Xia Lanwei showed a little yearning on her face, "From I can remember, I have wanted to own a territory of my own, build whatever I want, plant whatever I want, and let my ideas implement it, which can not only satisfy my hobbies, but also bring me wealth."
"It's a pity, this is really too difficult!"
"Especially in the Empire, I have worked hard for many years and have not been able to make a reality yet." Her words were filled with sighs, and she looked at Renn and said sincerely: "Lord, I know this is very presumptuous. I hope you can fulfill it."
Renn frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't help you."
The Orionse Empire was a feudal state, but unlike ordinary feudal states, the empire had no emperor and its rule was subordinate to the Supreme Council of Kemitis.
There are only three ways for the imperial civilians to obtain territory.
First, he was granted the title of the Duke, divided a piece of territory from his own Duke's lord, and granted it to his vassals.
Both Rennes and Viola became real earls like this.
The second one made meritorious service for the empire, and then the CEO initiated a proposal in the Imperial Parliament. After the parliament votes and passes, a piece of territory will be drawn from the empire's territory as a reward.
It is very difficult to obtain territory through this road.
Since the Supreme Council came to power, in order to concentrate power, the general trend of the empire over a thousand years has been to reduce the number of real nobles, replace the title of false title, and try to reclaim the fiefdom and put it under the jurisdiction of the empire.
There have been fewer and fewer old nobles who have existed since the beginning of the empire.
In the past thousand years, the real nobles who were enthroned by the empire were counted with two hands, and basically the fiefs were on the border or desolate places, so they could not imagine getting densely populated towns.
Finally, there is another way.
That is, to be promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard, enter the Supreme Council and be named Duke, and you can arbitrarily designate a province or big city as your duke's lord within the empire.
These three paths are more difficult to walk than the other.
Rennes was also lucky enough to get the Glamorgan title, otherwise he would never have thought of becoming a lord before.
"No, Lord Lord."
Mrs. Xia Lanwei said, "You can help me, as long as you sign me as a knight, and then give me a knight leader."
Ren was stunned when he heard this, and then understood Xia Lanwei's plan.
Unlike the virtual nobles, the real nobles can have their own knights, and the knights can only be considered half of the noble class and cannot be hereditary.
If the lord wants, he can also give him a manor or a fertile land to the knight.
If the area is large enough, it can be called a knight leader.
But now, when the fiefdom is so precious, very few lords will be awarded the Knights' Corps. Most of the knights who are loyal to themselves use golden shields or other physical objects as rewards.
Especially since the advent of steam and mechanical technology, productivity has developed rapidly, and the economic benefits of a knight-leader can produce are not as good as before. Farmers plant crops in the field and then collect taxes from the residents, which is far less than the value created by a factory.
Land is still important, but it is already behind capital.
Unless this land has extremely high side value, such as an excellent geographical location, it can attract mouth-wateringness.
Renn had guessed Xia Lanwei's purpose, but did not refuse immediately.
Instead, he asked: "Which land do you want?"
"Shibo Village."
Xia Lanwei answered slightly joyfully, but also looked a little nervous.
Rennes had already memorized every road, every piece of land, and every village in Glamorgan. When Xia Lanwei talked about Shibo Village, he remembered it.
Shibo Village is located along the banks of the Yero River, upstream of the Six Deep Corner Commercial District. The terrain is somewhat similar to Six Deep Corner. It is a prominent river beach. Opposite the river bank is the gray bearded area of Earl Atlanke. It is located between the city and the suburbs and has not been fully developed.
The population of the entire village is about 20,000, most of them are foreign households. With the development momentum of Modu, the value of this land will surely increase exponentially in a few years.
Renn remembers that the area of Shibo Village is nearly 5,000 acres.
In the empire, the full name of "mu" is "Alpha Mu", named after Emperor Alpha, and is usually referred to as "Aimu". The area formed by taking fifty steps each length and width is one mu.
One step is about 90 centimeters. If you count it, five thousand acres are almost ten square kilometers long.
This is equivalent to one percent of the territory of Glamorgan!
And it is a land with high potential.
Even no matter how generous the lord is, he will not confer such a high value village as a knight.
Ren couldn't help but snorted, "Mrs. Xia Lanwei's gaze is indeed high enough. She actually fell in love with Shibo Village. Why do you think I will agree?"
Seeing that he was unhappy, Xia Lanwei quickly stood up and said, "Lord, please listen to my explanation."
"You said." Renn replied indifferently.
Obviously, Xia Lanwei had a long idea and immediately talked: "I have made a long-term commercial plan for Shibo Village and are preparing to build it into the highest-end residential area in Modu."
"Unlike ordinary residences, I want to build at least one hundred high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors, imitating the structure of the Wizard Tower, and each floor can be lived in. One floor is divided into several houses for sale."
"This kind of high-rise residence can make full use of land and space, and a building can live in at least one hundred families."
“The prices of houses on different floors are different.”
"In my expectation, even the cheapest house is priced above 500 gold shields."
"Lord, don't underestimate the wealth of Modu citizens. I have conducted a survey and many people have put their money in the bank. The whole family has collected two or three hundred gold shields, but there is still no problem."
"And I am also planning to cooperate with the bank to lend money to people who are interested in buying a house to borrow money from the bank and pay it back at a specified time."
"Once this kind of high-rise residence takes shape, it will become a wealthy small urban area. We can also develop various commercial facilities around the residence, such as high-end restaurants, hotels, clubs, brothels, etc., and of course there are high-priced luxury goods, jewelry, cosmetics, clothing stores, and commercial centers. Anyway, as long as the rich can afford it, all of them must be available."
“All services must be enjoyed must be provided with the best, and of course the most expensive.”
"When the scale grows, it will attract more wealthy people to come here to buy high-rise residences, forming a good cycle and bringing countless wealth."
"Lord, if you are willing to believe me, you will definitely not regret it."
Xia Lanwei became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had seen the scene after the completion of Shibo Village.
Rennes was also stunned.
This business model is so familiar. If it weren't for the Soul Eye, Xia Lanwei would be a giant dragon. He would have doubted whether Xia Lanwei was like him and was also a time traveler?
No, even a dragon may be a time traveler.
Renn said tentatively in Chinese: "The king of heaven conquers the tiger."
"What?" Xia Lanwei was confused and obviously couldn't understand.
Is it a foreigner?
Rennes said in English again: "are-you-ok?"
Mrs. Xia Lanwei's face was full of question marks. Looking at Renn's unclear, the soul eye showed that her expression was not pretending, but she really didn't understand.
Ren was very regretful. It turned out that he was not a fellow villager, but a local dragon.
However, this giant dragon is too weird. Its business acumen is at least hundreds of years ahead of the world, and he actually wants to do real estate in Alan Ershi!
It is really ridiculous to be a dragon who lends money to others and engages in real estate.
Xia Lanwei was confused by the two words that Ren said, thinking that he was unwilling to support his ideas, and she couldn't help but feel very disappointed.
In fact, she had this plan decades ago.
I also chose several other suitable lands in Modu, and had contacted several lords in Modu, carefully prepared and displayed the blueprint, but they were rejected without exception.
In Xia Lanwei's opinion, the best plot in the entire Modu is Shibo Village.
However, before Glamorgan had no lord, only one steward, who had no power to enthrone the knight, so it could not be implemented.
After finally waiting for Rennes, Rennes is a perfect partner to support two Holy Soul Wizards.
Xia Lanwei couldn't wait to get the thunder hammer from Master Grunus at a great price to attract Rennes to take the bait.
Unfortunately, Rennes doesn't seem to support it either.
She still didn't give up and wanted to continue persuading: "Lord..."
Renn raised his hand to stop her and smiled, "Your idea is good."
Xia Lanwei was overjoyed, but Ren said again: "But with just a hammer of lightning, I will not seal Shibo Village to you as a knight leader."
Renne thought about the offer before coming in.
This thunder hammer is no less than an epic weapon, and is also very suitable for you. It can also provide cover for the real thunder hammer in the future. The expected psychological price is about 100,000 gold shields.
No matter how high it is, it is unacceptable.
