Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 442
Chapter 442 Landlord’s problem
From December to January next year, they have to live here.
The country has just been established, and the government is still provisional. Although the queen is not in charge, she has no less affairs than the prime minister. She has to listen to the opinions of the parliament, choose a suitable time for parliamentary elections, and sign the laws of the provisional government , are currently laying the foundation of the kingdom.
Brandon brought a few volunteer attendants from the United States. After a tour of the local area, he decided to use the palace allocated by the government. Joanna’s reluctance is one thing. In case there are any foreign guests, it is impossible to hold it in the hotel. It’s just that the size of the palace is small, it is located in the downtown area, and it used to be a scenic spot.
The task of the stewards is to familiarize everyone with the new rhythm. In the future, they will take care of the royal family with stricter rules. Everything they do may affect the face of the royal family. They must be strict to every detail… Brandon Twenty-four hours with a straight face.
In addition to learning Italian every day and communicating with An Feng, Joanna also has to memorize the map of the country, at least know the name, capital and main source of income of each region… In her words, it’s a good thing Only 24,000 square kilometers.
An Feng is also studying with her, providing motivation.
But his memory is enviable, he has read it all once, and he can almost recite the names of every city in Sardinia, including some officials. Then Joanna used the queen’s rights to designate that he must accompany him to every official occasion during this time.
So Alice asked her father, “Is it because you want to listen to your mother?”
An Feng sighed: “Yes.”
The little girl jumped up, mumbling something.
An Feng convinced her. The little girl was full of doubts. She kept trying to determine whether it was her father or her mother. She probably got the result now.
Alice continued to ask: “Can Dad take us out to play today?”
“I’m afraid I don’t have time today.” An Feng shook his head, “I still have to choose some land with your mother to build our future house.”
“Could it be a big house?” Alice asked.
“Yes.” An Feng nodded.
“Can you keep ponies and tigers?” Alice asked.
“Of course.” An Feng said.
“Can I go swimming with Fred and go fishing together?” Alice’s sentence lengthened.
“Yes.” An Feng nodded.
“Yes—” Alice was about to say, but An Feng interrupted her: “Little girl, I promise, I will refer to your opinion when the time comes, okay?”
“Okay.” She nodded sharply.
“Take good care of my brother.” An Feng said to her, in fact, don’t play too crazy, pay attention to your image, you are a little princess and a little prince.
“I will.” Alice put her arms around her younger brother, and Fred waved to him: “Goodbye, Dad.”
“Goodbye, children!” An Feng also waved his hand.
…
The government provided a helicopter. An Feng, Joanna, officials from the local land department, and Ms. Roberts, who also served as assistant and spokesperson, boarded the plane together. They are going to take a trip around the island in the air, and at the same time, it is an opportunity to choose a house construction location and learn about urban planning.
As the royal family, there must be a dedicated palace. Considering the nature of business and private, there must be more than one. The accompanying officials brought good news that the Queen, as a landowner, still has land that has not been used by private individuals or the government, and still belongs to her free disposal.
According to statistics from relevant departments, there is currently a national park, a forest that belongs to her, some forest land and residential land, several islands that have not been developed, land that has been developed but not contracted… a total of about 1,200 square meters km or so.
1,200 square kilometers, accounting for about 5% of the country’s land area, exceeding An Feng’s expectations.
According to their interests, the plane inspected the land privately owned by the royal family, but it turned out that there were not many places that could be used. Areas like parks must be difficult to develop, and the flat and good terrain have already been occupied. The thousand or two square kilometers, Only one in ten is favored.
But it is also 140 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 35,000 acres, which is not bad.
After returning from the circle, I began to consider the land issue.
First of all, it is a representative palace, because it will be used as a place to receive foreign dignitaries and hold state banquets, just like Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen’s office. Therefore, the selected location must be near the capital Cagliari, and the land department recommended a land with an area of about 350 acres.
It is surrounded by vineyards and the terrain is open. In the agricultural economy of Sardinia, the wine industry occupies a certain proportion. This place is also a vineyard. It is ten kilometers away from the capital, and the scenery is also very good. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but Can also take care of administrative work.
And it is quite in line with Chinese Feng Shui, facing the sea and backing the mountains, the terrain is about 30 meters higher than the city center, which belongs to the gradual upward trend. Standing there, you can look at the blue ocean more than ten kilometers away. The back is still leaning against the 400-meter-high mountain.
After listening to a bunch of introductions from officials, Joanna asked: “Is it not used here?”
Ms. Roberts translated, and the official replied: “This area is not a high-quality grape-growing area, and the business is mostly for commercial purposes. Since that terrible disaster, the wine industry has been seriously affected. Many residents are facing bankruptcy. Sell the land.”
“Can you provide an approximate figure?” Joanna asked.
“My honor, Your Majesty the Queen.” He said respectfully, “According to the purchase price of the land, it is estimated to be about 12 million euros.”
After listening to Roberts’ translation, Joanna asked An Feng: “What do you think?”
An Feng nodded: “Here it is, the location is quite good, this land is mainly for face-saving projects.”
“Okay.” Joanna agreed.
There is no need to worry about architectural design. The government will look for top architects and tend to the Baroque style. In terms of this style, the Italians are definitely the strongest, because it emerged crazily during the Renaissance, and the masters are naturally also in Italy. on the architect.
After finishing the selection of face-saving projects, there must be a more private palace next.
Here, there is no need to take care of administrative convenience, only private considerations. According to Joanna’s thinking, she hopes to be quieter, with better scenery and a view of the sea. It is best to have a private beach, because after becoming a queen, it is obviously no longer appropriate to appear on a public beach.
I didn’t observe carefully in the air, and after the plane landed, I changed cars to travel.
After accepting official recommendations and on-the-spot investigations, they determined that they were on the eastern coast of Cagliari, an area about 50 kilometers away from the capital. The town, with few residents, lives peacefully.
Joanna likes this tranquility and peace, which can adjust her mood.
When An Feng came into contact with Sardinia, he also felt that the pace of life of the local residents was very leisurely.
They are indifferent by nature, they are not fanatical about big names, and they are also used to seeing many celebrities. This is also the place where its scenery is not as famous as Sicily, but it is favored by royal dignitaries and celebrities. Here, they will not be treated specially, and they can enjoy an ordinary and peaceful life with peace of mind.
But the queen is definitely different from foreign tourists, and it is impossible to ignore them. Mostly out of respect, she didn’t take the initiative to bother… This is all a later story. Anfeng saw a good one, about 80 acres, flat grassland, close to the sea, with a 200-meter-long coastline, and a yacht dock.
The only pity is that although the development is not complete, there are already buildings.
But soon, the surprise came.
The officials of the land department told them that the foreign rich man in this land died in France due to SFV virus. According to the management method of unowned land, it belongs to the queen. That is to say, from now on, they can own the good land that the rich man spent more than 20 million to renovate without spending a penny.
In the end, they decided to take these two pieces of land.
One is located in the capital, which is a prestige project. It must be built majesticly, fully reflecting the style of the royal family, and it also represents the face of a country; the other is more inclined to private use, indifferent and quiet, a bit of a summer resort meaning.
For the two buildings, Cagliari has already confirmed the architect. This was recommended by the government, and the architect readily agreed. The architect has a great background and a good reputation. He originally planned to retire, but thanks to the contribution of the An family , decided to do it again, and condensed his efforts.
An Feng naturally has no objection to this, but they need to worry about St. Elmo’s palace.
Finally, he approached Teresa, the designer who originally designed the Santa Barbara mansion for them. Her last masterpiece satisfied the couple. After living in it for seven years, they already had feelings and hoped to continue the original fresh style. Teresa also readily agreed to this.
Finally, considering the construction time, it is a headache.
There is no four or five years that cannot be done, but the Queen’s coronation is imminent, and it is unreasonable not to have a real palace in the future… Finally, An Feng came up with a bold plan: use a three-dimensional printer. He will use modern methods to build an ancient style palace.
With Ans Industrial’s technology, they can print airplanes without any problem, let alone buildings?
Through the precise control of supercomputers and the processing of ultra-high-resolution nozzles, I am afraid that even the age can be forged. Moreover, this is their territory, and An Feng doesn’t have to worry about the government wanting to regulate and control it after the super technology comes out, after all, they are the landlords.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he shared his ideas with Joanna.
“The precision of computer control is unmatched even by top architects, and the three-dimensional printing is from the inside to the outside, and its manufacturing effect will be more perfect. If necessary, even the history of the building can be forged. The only shortcoming is , requires the designer to deal with a lot of details.”
Joanna said: “Then you need to discuss it with the designer.”
An Feng nodded: “That’s right.”
They talked with the designer about the idea. Surprisingly, he is also looking forward to this idea, but for the sake of caution, the designer’s hard work cannot be wasted, and a sample must be made first. If it is suitable, he will do more details. Work, perfect input into the computer.
An Feng is not worried about the effect, these machines were used to print robots before.
If high-tech can be used in an all-round way, the construction time will be greatly shortened, and after some later manual processing, it may be completed within a year or two. In the future, a magnificent palace will magically stand on this land, as a symbol of modern technology and ancient art. connect.
