Chapter 344 Everyone Expected to See God

Li Changheng was taken aback, and immediately thought in his heart that this old man could make money by helping the nobles take care of the land, right?

It's a pity that he would rather keep his own land empty, or raise less cattle and sheep, than hand over the management rights to others.

Allow strangers to appear around you at will.

But he said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Annie and I plan to wait for Howard Manor to be repaired and decorated."

"Won't that be vacant for at least half a year?"

Li Changheng looked at old Gosford with a smile and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing that Li Changheng used you directly instead of the honorific title, or at least the most commonly used title of Lord or Earl of Gosford, old Gosford immediately became angry.

"Forget it, I'd better talk to Annie."

Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and shook his head at the frowning Andrew.

Then I thought to myself that this old man needs land, and he can buy it himself.

Why are you still thinking about other noble lands?

farming?

impossible.

Raising cattle and sheep?

That's even more impossible, not to mention the whole of England, the West Midlands where the Gosford Manor is located, itself is a traditional breeding area.

If you have money, you can buy land.

That's not right, maybe John Gosford relied on low prices to contract land from nobles who didn't want to take care of it themselves, or who managed it poorly.

While earning the difference, form the scale of farming and reduce the cost of farming to make money.

Although it would be extremely cumbersome and troublesome to do so, the risk of disease resistance would be much stronger if the cattle and sheep were not in the same place.

Thinking about it this way, this seems to be a way to make money.

Just like the breeding groups of the Americans, they set up pastures all over the United States, and sell the cattle and sheep nearby to reduce costs.

This business is simply a big trouble for Li Changheng, because there will be too many management matters and it will be too cumbersome.

But for ordinary people, let alone management troubles, some people will do it if they can make money by being a younger brother, begging grandpa to sue grandma.

Then Li Changheng rolled his eyes at that guy named Mitch Pearson.

This kind of person should be the role to help John Gosford get out of trouble.

If you want to deal with the workers and the guild, you really have to cooperate with this kind of person.

I heard from Hart that this guy is a graduate of Oxford University. He is smart and willing to let go of his status to engage in gray business. It is probably difficult not to make a fortune.

And old Gosford wanted to sell the manor, maybe because he felt that there were too few nobles in the countryside, so he wanted to go to London, a bustling city with a lot of nobles, to trick more fools into contracting the land to him?

Li Changheng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, wondering if he was thinking too much.

But then I remembered that Philip had said that old Gosford's guests were getting lower and lower.

And looking at the guests today, apart from my own group, Mountbatten and the two eldest sons of the duke, no nobleman took the initiative to come over.

This means that his reputation has long been rotten in the aristocratic circle, so the old Gosford's move to London will have a positive effect?

Moreover, he is really unnecessary, let alone sell his ancestral property.

Does that make Gosford Manor feel like a hot potato?

Li Changheng immediately thought in his heart, why?

The business is not easy to do, or the reputation is bad, no one is willing to cooperate, and I am too embarrassed to say that I have no money, so I can’t continue to maintain this kind of banquet that costs hundreds of thousands of pounds every year?

So, you don't want to lose face, but you want to use the land of Annie's niece?

As soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by Li Changheng within a few seconds.

If this is the case, it is impossible for people like Andrew and Bell not to know what kind of business old Gosford is engaged in.

Hell, Li Changheng was taken aback suddenly, this is definitely a shameful business, and it must not be exposed.

Then he remembered that in the small town of Ohio the year before last, wasn't Ryan Farm a special tobacco farm secretly set up in a warehouse?

At that time, I still thought that if I dug underground space under those warehouses, I could grow tobacco as I wanted.

Compare now the condition of the English nobility.

This group of nobles who controlled at least one-third of the land in England, as long as one in a hundred could not sustain it due to economic reasons, they contracted the land to John Gosford.

Then the old man dug an underground space casually on those lands, and he was able to establish special tobacco farms all over England.

And this also explains why someone wants to kill him.

Immediately, from the corner of Li Changheng's eyes, he looked at the 30-year-old middle-aged man named Mickey.

He must have something to do with this matter. The only question is, if this guy is the mastermind, are there other people in the manor who are also accomplices?

And the old Gosford wanted to sell the manor because he was old and made enough money, so he wanted to sell it and live the rest of his life with peace of mind?

As for trying to get Annie, just warn Mickey, drag the royal family into the water by the way, and get yourself a talisman?

If this is the case, Li Changheng will kill him without others doing it.

Thinking of this, Jean suddenly felt that the death of John Gosford was a good thing for everyone.

Philip didn't have to worry about his queen, he always thought about his natal family.

Li Changheng doesn't have to worry about a poisonous snake in the royal family always staring at Anne.

Moreover, compared to this old man, Charles and Andrew are ignorant lambs.

Andrew's desire to take advantage of the situation is nothing to worry about.

The nobles don't have to worry about being dragged to death by this old guy.

Isabel Gosford doesn't have to worry about having a reputation as the daughter of the drug king in the future. Not only can she become a countess, but she also doesn't have to worry about being unable to marry.

Sylvia's aunts, sisters, and brothers-in-law, it's easier to deal with Isabel than old Gosford.

If you have money, let alone flatter your stepdaughter, it’s okay to treat her as a filial existence closer than your own daughter, or even your own mother.

As for Sylvia herself, this woman seemed to be a shrewd person, and she might be able to get a big deal on the division of family property or alimony.

As for Gosford's cousin of a Hollywood star, Li Changheng had observed this guy for quite a while, and it was easy to see that his words and deeds were all imitating the aristocrats.

No, it's simply that apart from not having a noble title, his behavior is more noble than noble.

Once Gosford is dead, if he takes the opportunity to make a murder movie about nobles and manors with that short producer, he will immediately become famous because an earl was really murdered.

The producer can also take the opportunity to attract investment.

etc.

Li Changheng listened to the producer in shock, and replied that Countess Terence, Aunt Sylvia, said that he was preparing a detective movie.

The content is roughly that a great nobleman was murdered, and all the people present were suspects. Therefore, I asked the leading actor, Ivor Norwell, to bring him to the house of his earl's cousin to learn about the life and daily life of the nobleman.

FKU.

Li Changheng immediately cursed in his heart.
