Chapter 1680 Possibility of Buying a Knight Title

Let's talk about the title, Carson said, "Actually, titles can be bought and sold now~"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that William would be angry, and timidly took a peek at William. Seeing that he didn't respond, he bravely continued, "I remember that there is a website that specializes in selling knighthoods. You only need to pay a few dozen pounds and you can buy them in Scotland. If you buy a piece of land in the wilderness of the country, you can get the title of 'lord', a purchase certificate, a map of the purchased land and the surrounding environment, and a series of packages such as the land purchase number.

Of course, the noble titles and land obtained through such websites are not of much practical use, and are more of a commemoration for foreigners. "

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "William must be talking about something different, right? If so, I can wholesale a whole box and sell it in Africa~"

"Of course not, but don't underestimate this business. Many foreigners, including Chinese, will get a land certificate and title to go back. It's embarrassing to use it in the UK, but it's still very useful in their country. ~

Among them are some high-end customers, they are all social elites, including businessmen, people in the financial sector, doctors, and retired officials.

Get a title at a small price, and you can enjoy a lot of benefits and subsidies. "

"For example?" Yang Cheng asked.

"For example, if you are knighted, you can get government allowances in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and you can be respected and treated favorably by others all over the UK.

Imagine, staying in a hotel with a free upgrade to a suite, a free flight with a business class upgrade, and countless VIP services. For ordinary people, this is definitely a huge attraction. "

Yang Cheng wondered, "Are you sure you can get the same treatment for the title you bought with money?"

William hesitated for a while, and looked at Carson, "It should be possible, right?"

It's really too much to ask him a high-ranking prince. This is not within the scope of the information he has come into contact with.

Carson was also not sure, and said vaguely, "I only know that 195 pounds can get any title, life tenure, and 995 pounds can not only get any hereditary title, but also a piece of land.

As for whether you can get subsidies and benefits, I can't guarantee it. I only know that the titles sold on this website have nothing to do with the British government or the royal family.

Of course, it is also allowed by the current British law. In fact, it is to let the customer buy a small piece of land and then go to the land registry to register.

Therefore, this title can be understood as being issued by the relevant land registry. "

William nodded, indicating that he had nothing to do with the royal family.

Yang Cheng understood, and said unhappily, "It's just cheating money from foreigners, it's not a real title at all~"

Carson echoed, "Yes, the title awarded by the Queen herself is useless just by spending money, but as far as I know, you can spend 1 million pounds to buy a Scottish baronet, a real title, but the operation is very cumbersome, You have to find the right person~”

"Okay, William, I know about the status quo of the nobility, you can just say, if I want a title, I mean a real title, what do I need to do?

I heard what you said just now, a hereditary baron is not impossible~"

William affirmed, "It is indeed possible to operate, but you must seal the mouths of British citizens and nobles~"

"You mean, my title needs to be recognized by the people?"

"Yes, this is a prerequisite. In fact, my suggestion is that it is enough to be a baron, and it can also be hereditary from a baron, but it is not a real noble~"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "You know hereditary is not the point. Since it is possible to obtain a title, you must obtain an equal status."

The reason why he said this was because of the particularity of the title of baronet. The title of baronet was unique to the UK. There was no equivalent title of baronet in continental Europe. It was below the baron and above most knights.

After being canonized or hereditary inheriting the title, the title of Sir, which is "Sir", can be used before the name of the baron.

The name is followed by the title 'Bt.', and women are preceded by the honorific title (lady) and followed by the title 'Btss.'.

However, the title of baronet is basically created for men, and it is generally passed on to the male but not to the female, and only to the eldest son. There are only three female barons in history.

But the reason why it is said to be under the baron and above most of the knight titles is because there are three kinds of knighthoods whose status is higher than that of the baron.

The title of knighthood is handed down from the knight system in the Middle Ages. There are two ways to obtain it, one is to obtain the knighthood of the knighthood, and the other is to obtain the lower order of knighthood.

Those who have won the Knight Medal can also use the title of Sir/ before the name, and the abbreviation of the medal after the name, such as Sir***Youde, MBE.

The highest ranks of knighthood are: England's Garter Medal, Scotland's Thistle Medal, Ireland's St. Patrick's Medal, but the last St. Patrick's Medal has been abolished, and the status of these three knighthoods is higher than that of men. Noble, but it is extremely difficult to obtain.

The last rank of knighthood is the Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire and the Commander of the Order of the British Empire. These two can basically be spent with money, and they are of no use.

Yang Cheng’s goal is the Order of the Garter, and what Beckham most wants to get is the Order of the Garter, but as mentioned above, only a very small number of people can obtain the Order of the Garter. Except for the king, it is fixed for the 24 living and a few special members, the royal family Except for members and monarchs, unless deprived of crimes, once awarded life enjoyment, members can only be re-elected after death or withdrawal.

This basically cut off the possibility of Yang Cheng getting the Order of the Garter. Just kidding, there are hundreds of people in the UK waiting in line to get the Order of the Garter. How could it be Yang Cheng's turn to be an outsider.

William persuaded, "Actually, as long as you get the Knight Commander Medal, it is enough to add Sir before your name, and add a baronet status to ensure that you can be treated with the same status when facing European nobles.

Bill Gates and Spielberg are the recipients of the Knight Commander Medal, awarded by the Queen herself. "

Yang Cheng is also very nervous after drinking too much alcohol, but if he has a normal mind, he will not ask for a baron, unless he decides to immigrate to the UK or the Commonwealth of Nations~

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I don't understand anyway~"

The happiest person here is Carson. He is a butler from Windsor Castle. Serving common people and rich people is completely different from serving nobles.

He didn't expect Yang Cheng to get the title of baron, the knighthood and baron were enough, but he was a foreigner!
