The Lewandowski family discussed it for a long time.
Little did they know, in a corner where no one was paying attention, a shadow guard was recording their language.
In fact, it wouldn't be easy for them to do this in other places.
Although Xiao Ce had them learn multiple languages.
However, I mainly learned British and Japanese.
However, to Xiao Ce's surprise, these Fusang countries were defeated so quickly.
Therefore, those Japanese words are completely unnecessary.
However, this time, the British language still came in handy.
So Night Owl learned about their family conversation immediately.
Since Xiao Ce was already asleep, the night owl didn't disturb him.
The next day.
After Xiao Ce woke up, Night Cat told him about the situation.
After listening, Xiao Ce nodded: "It's alright, their concerns are valid... In the end, they made the right choice."
Night Owl nodded and then said, "That's precisely why I didn't contact you, since these issues aren't really problems."
"The people here are fine, and we can stay here without any problems. However, since this is an unfamiliar place, we should stick with some of them."
Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "We don't need that many people. Three or four people are enough. For ordinary dangers, three or four people are sufficient... There's no need for more people, as it would only attract attention."
Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Night Cat stopped talking and went to make arrangements.
After making arrangements for a while, Xiao Ce said to Night Cat, "Night Cat, tell the people here if there's anything they can help with and ask them to do some work."
Night Owl listened and chuckled, saying, "Your Highness, I understand. These are all our traditional crafts, and you can rest assured they won't be lost. If any of us go to farm, they won't suspect anything..."
Boudica came out after changing her clothes.
Boudica's British clothing was actually brought over by them.
They were all made by themselves. In fact, these clothes were made before any problems arose within the Xiao Kingdom.
These luxury goods have already been produced by the brand.
However, back then, it was still mainly Chinese style.
However, they still occasionally design some Western-style clothing.
However, at that time, in the minds of the people of Xiao, those Western-style clothes were still difficult to accept.
So I stockpiled a lot of fashion items.
These Western-style clothes, when worn by the people of Xiao, always seem to lack something.
However, Boudica's figure and face perfectly embody the Western physique and features.
She noticed that several men were looking at her.
Boudica did indeed feel her face burning and a little embarrassed.
"Gentlemen, why are you looking at me like that? Is it strange?"
Actually, there's nothing wrong with these clothing designs, nor are they particularly strange, but they are considered trendy in the West.
Several people instinctively shook their heads.
"nice!"
Da Lei said it almost out of the mouth.
The night owl exclaimed, "Absolutely beautiful!"
Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Trust me, you don't even need to say a word or do any advertising. Just take a walk on the central avenue in the central square, and I believe you'll become the talk of the town. This will definitely succeed."
Boudica smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said, "Ce, your thinking is different from others. Everyone else just thinks about my appearance, but you've thought long-term..."
Upon hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce burst out laughing.
Just then, Ryan walked over from the side, and he approached respectfully.
“Ms. Boudica, we have prepared breakfast for you and food for your men. My brother has to go to work, so he asked me to apologize for leaving early. He also told me to take good care of you. Don’t worry, I will do my best to take good care of you.”
Ryan spoke calmly and deliberately, and his words were perfectly timed.
“Okay, Ryan, did your brother tell you?” Boudica asked Ryan.
Ryan nodded: "Ms. Boudica, it is my honor that you have chosen me!"
Boudica smiled at Ryan and then said, "Okay, so you agree?"
Ryan listened as Boudica nodded incessantly, her little head nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
“Of course, Ms. Boudica. It’s definitely a good thing that you’re willing to take me with you… Thank you, Ms. Boudica…”
As they were talking, they arrived at the breakfast area.
The breakfast was very Western-style, though Xiao Ce found it unappealing.
However, it's clear that they prepared very seriously.
However, to Xiao Ce's surprise, these breads were surprisingly good and quite delicious.
While eating breakfast, Boudica noticed Ryan standing to the side.
He then asked Ryan, "Ryan, have you eaten?"
Ryan shook his head: "Ms. Boudica, I haven't eaten yet."
Boudica smiled and beckoned to Ryan, saying, "What are you waiting for? Come and eat with us..."
Ryan was a little embarrassed at first, but looking at Boudica's expression, he didn't seem to have any other intentions.
He appeared very sincere.
Ryan watched as Xiao Ce, Da Lei, and Night Cat acted as if nothing had happened, eating with Boudica.
After a brief moment of consideration, Ryan sat down.
After sitting down, Boudica said to Ryan, "Ryan, did your brother tell you about our situation?"
Ryan nodded, then said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, my brother has already told me about your situation..."
Boudica said, "I'm not familiar with this place. You come and tell me about today's arrangements."
Ryan nodded: "Ms. Boudica, first we need to exchange for Thor. After all, it's inconvenient to carry your gold belt around."
"I've seen the gold you brought. Just the gold alone could be exchanged for about fifty million Sols. Of course, there are other treasures. The price of these things is hard to estimate. If you find something you like, you might be able to sell it for an astronomical price. If you don't find anything you like, you won't be able to sell it for much."
"Secondly, my brother also mentioned that you need a place to stay here. I wonder what your needs are, Ms. Boudica?"
After thinking for a moment, Boudica said, "The expensive one!"
Ryan was clearly taken aback by Boudica's words: "What?"
Boudica smiled and said to Ryan, "Expensive? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ryan smiled and said to Boudica, "No problem. You mean you need a good location and a larger plot of land, is that right?"
Boudica shook her head: "There's not much need for that, as long as it's in Lingas... just focus on being expensive!"
Ryan smiled at Boudica as he listened, then looked somewhat embarrassed.
Boudica could tell that Ryan's smile had a hidden meaning...
"Ryan, what's wrong? Do you think I can't afford it?"
Ryan naturally shook his head: "Ms. Boudica, I didn't mean to belittle you at all. You have fifty million Thors, which already puts you in a very high position... However, you may not understand Lingas's situation."
"If you want to buy a manor, this fifty million Sol is just barely enough..."
After hearing Ryan's words, Boudica said, "What? A manor costs fifty million Sols? Then you..."
Boudica, despite her wealth, couldn't help but marvel at how expensive the real estate was here.
Ryan quickly waved his hand and said, "Ms. Boudica, it's not the same. Although our area is quite large, we are at most a farm... a farm and a manor are not the same."
As Ryan spoke, he explained to Boudica that in Lingas, farms were owned by ordinary people with money. However, the use of this land was strictly regulated. For example, if the land was for cultivation, it could only be used for cultivation; if it was for grazing, it could only be used for grazing. In addition, a certain amount of tax had to be paid according to the land. Furthermore, there were regulations on the buildings on the farm, and too many houses could not be built.
From a certain perspective, farms are still state-owned land; you can't change the nature of the land, and there are strict requirements in all aspects.
Manors, on the other hand, are different. Once purchased, a manor can be filled with houses as one pleases, without the need to pay taxes. This is because, within the British Empire, only those with noble titles could own manors.
Later, with the Illuminati joining and on the advice of some, manors became available for sale. However, Britain imposed a hefty tax on them, amounting to 100% of the total property value. For example, if a manor cost ten million soles, the tax would be ten million soles in a single payment. Of course, there was one advantage to this arrangement.
The advantage of this is that the manor will always belong to the buyer, generation after generation. So theoretically, as long as you have enough money, you can buy the entire British Empire.
Of course, there is one last type of building: the castle.
These castles are located in the most prosperous parts of Lingas and are symbols of status and prestige. Due to their scarcity, they are extremely expensive and practically priceless.
After all, Lingas City is only so big, and with more and more families flocking in, everyone is short of money.
Wealthy people won't sell. If someone wants to sell, they have their own internal circulation system, so it's basically not up to outsiders.
Moreover, as more and more people from outside come in, there are also more and more wealthy people, and even if they do have money, it is being driven up to an astronomical price.
Xiao Ce listened with some curiosity and asked, "Oh? When was the last castle sold? What was the price?"
