Chapter 606: Buy an Island and Get a Noble

The third chapter is delivered, Pindao is working hard to code...

--------

If the island had water sources, the price could be as high as 2.7 billion U.S. dollars, but due to lack of water, the value was greatly reduced. The final agreement price between the two parties was 700 million U.S. dollars, plus the two islands of Prince Tamaras.

The final result is undoubtedly a happy one.

Prince Tamaras is very satisfied with being able to take back the two small islands with water. You must know that these two small islands have created more than three million US dollars of wealth for him every year.

And Wei Xiaobei is also very satisfied with the final remaining 200 million US dollars.

After all, this island is just like what Prince Tamaras said, and the investment in the later stage is very large.

To put it simply, Wei Xiaobei couldn't be more satisfied with this island.

23 square kilometers, which means that Wei Xiaobei owns 34,500 mu of land. Of course, the area that can be cultivated is only more than 20,000 mu, but it is not bad.

This is already equivalent to the area of ​​a town below Cuihu City.

Of course, this can also show how expensive the island is.

If it were changed to the country of Sam, a pasture of more than 30,000 mu could be bought for only 200 million U.S. dollars.

And the island, even without water, is four times the price of this ranch.

Of course, this expensive also has its reasons.

The island is surrounded by water. Buying an island is not just about buying the island itself. As an additional value of the island, the sea that extends five nautical miles around the island also belongs to Wei Xiaobei.

Of course, if this range intersects with other islands, then the distance is taken from the middle position.

In short, after Wei Xiaobei signed the purchase agreement, this island belongs to Wei Xiaobei. As long as Wei Xiaobei does not attempt to separate this island from the Kingdom of Lesnia, then the laws of the Kingdom of Lesnia will be His ownership of the island will be permanently protected.

"Congratulations, my dear Wei, according to the usual practice. You can give this island an exclusive name."

Prince Tamaras gave Wei Xiaobei a warm hug,

He also stated that this name will appear on the latest national map of the Kingdom of Leusnia.

Wei Xiaobei's heart was also agitated at this time, a year ago. I was just a veteran who went to Cuihu City to find a job with a big backpack on his back, but now, he actually became the owner of an island.

Needless to say, things change.

But the name of this island should be carefully thought about.

Wei Xiaobei lowered his head and began to think.

Name it after yourself? Little North Island?

vomit! Wei Xiaobei felt a little weird.

Gray World Island? Too eye-catching, right?

 …

After thinking of hundreds of names, Wei Xiaobei finally chose his own surname as the island's new name.

Weijia Island!

Take this name. Undoubtedly thinking that he will bring his parents and so on to this island, and in the years to come, this island will be equivalent to his home.

"Weijia Island? Well, that's a good name."

Prince Tamaras has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and there is no difficulty in understanding it.

Just when Wei Xiaobei was about to leave the Kingdom of Leusnia first and go back to arrange the construction of Weijia Island, he was stopped by Prince Tamaras: "Wei, my father, King Lesnia V this afternoon. I will meet you at six o'clock and confer titles on you."

Um? ? ?

heard the news. Wei Xiaobei was a little dazed.

Didn't I just buy an island, and the king still wants to meet me? What's the situation with granting yourself a knighthood?

Later, under the introduction of Prince Tamaras, Wei Xiaobei understood the meaning of this.

Simply put, this is a legal provision to prevent the division of the country.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Lesnia, the islands of the Kingdom of Lesnia are only allowed to be owned by nobles. In this way, this conflicts with the legal provisions that the islands can be bought and sold freely, and the solution lies in this noble clause .

The king will be based on the number of islands he owns. Area and other factors to award the buyer title.

Of course, this title is not hereditary.

Also, if you sell the island, the title will be taken back.

To put it bluntly, this title is just an honorary title.

But even so. Wei Xiaobei was also a little excited.

No way, Huaxia used to say that it was transformed from a feudal dynasty of more than two thousand years.

Are you going to become a nobleman yourself?

Well, even though he was just a foreign nobleman, it also meant that his superficial status was different from before.

Because the king wants to receive. To be honored, Wei Xiaobei cannot change the next itinerary.

Unless, Wei Xiaobei gave up the island at this time.

For a whole afternoon, Wei Xiaobei practiced various etiquette under the guidance of the palace etiquette officer.

To be honest, Wei Xiaobei has a lot of headaches about this kind of etiquette, but he has to accept it. If possible, Wei Xiaobei is more willing to enter the gray world to fight those monsters.

On the other hand, Tian Li looked at Wei Xiaobei with envy.

Being able to become a nobleman of a country, even if it is only an honorary title, is enough to make Tian Li extremely envious.

At that time, a famous football coach in the Kingdom of England coached the championship team for more than 30 years and made many contributions before he was awarded a low-level knighthood. When , the suffix of Mr. is no longer used, but Mr. So-and-so! Or Lord So-and-so.

In short, becoming an aristocrat, even the lowest honorary aristocrat, is not at the same level as a commoner.

Well, human beings are like this, no matter what country they live in, they are born with a sense of admiration for kingship.

When members of the British royal family got married, the media around the world kept reporting it, and it was even more lively than the World Cup, which came from this.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Wei Xiaobei, led by Tamaras, was waiting outside the palace early.

The royal palace of the Kingdom of Leusnia is a fusion of Chinese style and local style, from which we can also see the influence of Chinese culture on this kingdom.

At six o'clock, a team of royal guards appeared, opened the gate of the palace, and welcomed the distinguished guests.

The splendor of the royal palace is not listed here.

His Majesty Lusnia V is probably in his seventies, and the queen is in her sixties. As I said before, she is a Chinese.

After a cumbersome award ceremony, Wei Xiaobei became a first-class Lord of the Kingdom of Leusnia.

Well, the title system of the Kingdom of Leusnia is somewhat similar to that of ancient China.

There are three grades of honors for male princes and uncles, with a total of eight titles.

As for the direct members of the royal family like Prince Tamaras, they need to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne and canonize the title.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, except for the crown prince who is the grand duke, the rest of the princes can only be said to be commoners and enjoy the treatment of members of the royal family.

Wei Xiaobei's title as a first-class lord is not low, after all, many of the guys who bought islands were at most third-class lords.

Of course, this is directly linked to the size of the island.

According to Prince Tamaras, if Wei Xiaobei buys another island of the same size, he can be promoted to Baron.

And if you buy a total of ten islands, you can upgrade to Viscount, and so on.

Well, Wei Xiaobei finally understood, this is a perfect way to earn money.

Don't think that buying more islands is a good thing.

This stuff is taxable.

Yiwei Xiaobei's current island is tax-free for the first three years, but from the fourth year onwards, he needs to pay about one million US dollars in taxes every year, in the seventh year he needs to pay one and a half million US dollars in taxes every year, and in the tenth year he needs to pay taxes of one million US dollars. Two million dollars, well, although there will be no more increases in the future, the tax is not too low.

In short, the more islands you buy, the higher the tax.

If he really became a viscount, he would have to pay more than 20 million in taxes every year.

For this, Wei Xiaobei had no envy at all.

After the awarding ceremony, it was His Majesty's private family banquet. The king, queen, prince, princess and even the king's brother and other members of the royal family attended.

The queen even invited Wei Xiaobei to sit beside her and have a conversation.

The queen's name is Xu Huirong, and being able to become a queen is a bit of a Cinderella legend.

To put it simply, His Majesty the King studied at Huaxia Capital University when he was young, met the Queen, and eventually became husband and wife.

Well, Chinese people will talk about their hometown when they meet fellow villagers outside.

After exchanging a few words, Wei Xiaobei discovered that the queen's hometown is in Xima County, a county adjacent to Baita County!

This is really a fellow.

Out of the border of China, the Chinese are fellow villagers, and those in a province are fellow villagers among fellow villagers, and those who are adjacent to each other basically belong to relatives.

In this way, the queen became closer to Wei Xiaobei, and almost regarded Wei Xiaobei as her nephew, and when the banquet was over, she also told Wei Xiaobei to come to the palace to accompany her if there was nothing to do.

After all, in this foreign country, it is really not easy to meet a fellow villager.

Because of the queen's relationship, Tamaras and Wei Xiaobei became closer friends afterward.

Of course, the reunion ended, and three hours later, Wei Xiaobei and Tian Li boarded the special plane of Tamalas and set foot on the way home.

There are no accidents on this way back and needless to say.

But when Wei Xiaobei changed planes in Jiangxiang City and took the passenger plane back to Cuihu City, he noticed an uneasy atmosphere gathering.

Less than half an hour after the passenger plane departed from Jiangxiang City to Cuihu City, two fighter jets appeared to protect it.

Well, although Huaxia's military strength is ranked among the top three in the world, this does not mean that Huaxia has so many fighter jets that they have nothing to do, and they can escort airliners all day.

There is only one possibility to use fighter jets to escort the passenger plane, and that is big trouble!

Fortunately, those high-altitude fish did not appear again until the passenger plane landed at Cuihu International Airport.

But when Wei Xiaobei left the airport, turned on his phone, and connected to the Internet, he discovered a big problem. (To be continued.)
