Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 67 Fiefdom Exchange
"But the Svent family's fief is more important, isn't it?" George replied, "And, to be honest, just give me the fief, and I can handle things in the fief by myself."

George's words naturally caused Duke Mountbatten to think deeply.

Jia Xia said that George's giving up the fief was not selfish for Mountbatten.As the only two hereditary nobles in Edinburgh, the entire Edinburgh except for the Swinton territory is the fiefdom of the Mountbatten family.The Swinton family's dowry was that fiefdom. In other words, if it hadn't been for that incident, the entire Edinburgh would now belong to the Mountbatten family.Once George gave up his territory, Duke Mountbatten would naturally have the means to get it.

It’s just that the solution given by George is also a good one.It's just an overseas colony full of deserts, with nothing worth fighting for except the canal.

But how to convince other families to agree to George's plan?This may require your family to give up some of its interests elsewhere.

In fact, Duke Mountbatten basically agreed when George proposed the plan.The noble council had been prepared to compensate George elsewhere, and the area around the canal was not stable recently.Not to mention the unrest in the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt is also fighting for independence, and the situation is expected to become more intense. The final result may not be ideal, so the ownership of the canal will become unknown again.

While Duke Mountbatten was still thinking about the gains and losses, George added weight again and said, "Your Majesty, the war in Ireland has been very unstable recently, so there should be many soldiers injured, right?"

"Well, that's what happened. Do you have any ideas?" Duke Mountbatten said.

"Haha, Duke Mountbatten, I wonder if you know about the penicillin I discovered? If Scotland can have penicillin, a lot of lives will be saved." George explained.

"Is your penicillin ready for mass production?" Duke Mountbatten asked with interest.

"Haha, of course. In the United States, we have cooperated with the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family to produce penicillin. Moreover, in the UK, I have the right to choose partners. The current price given by the company is 20 units each Penicillin weighs 0.12 grams, and the price should be around 0.9 grams of gold.”

As for why gold is used as the pricing standard, of course it is because many countries experienced serious economic inflation after World War I.That’s why we decided to set the price in gold first and then convert it into the currencies of various countries.

Duke Mountbatten understood that when George proposed penicillin as an agent, he was prepared to exchange benefits with himself.But considering the benefits involved, it seems that my family can still make some money.

"Okay, George, you have convinced me. In this way, I will convey your opinions to the Parliament of Nobles. I will try my best to convince them, but I cannot guarantee success." Duke Mountbatten did not finish his words, but just gave a possibility.

"Haha, I believe Duke Mountbatten will definitely go successfully." After saying this, the two of them tacitly did not mention the power of attorney or anything like that, and then the two of them clinked the red wine glasses together and drank it down in one gulp.

That's the end of tonight's meeting. After the two chatted about some anecdotes between nobles, George bid farewell. Duke Mountbatten did not do much to persuade him to stay, and personally sent George to the gate of the castle.

In the car returning to the old house, the old butler Fred looked at the smile on the corner of the new Svent's mouth and knew that something good must have happened.However, as an old man with decades of housekeeping experience, Fred did not ask.

All he has to do next is wait for news from Duke Mountbatten, and George believes that this day is not far away.

The next day, George issued tasks to the security personnel he brought, and asked them to leave the UK and go find what they needed.

Although George has been busy developing his own business empire, he has never forgotten that this is the Marvel world, and power is the main theme of this world.Therefore, during this trip to Europe, George will naturally make certain arrangements and take advantage of this opportunity.While waiting for the news, George also gave several lectures with Professor Osborne.Various newspapers in the UK also gave a lot of praise to this exchange.George Orwell, who was only 17 years old, was pushed by some people to once again write about his experiences.and identifies George Orwell as the earl heir.

In this way, this already popular young man becomes even more popular with college girls.So much so that at the subsequent Cambridge exchange meeting, George only showed up on the first day.The rest of the time I can hide.After all, George still doesn't like to be judged when visiting.

A week after that night's conversation, George once again received an invitation from Duke Mountbatten, but this time he was invited to meet in London.George knew that this must have results, so George did not delay and went directly to London, more than 400 kilometers away.

A day later, George stepped out of the car.In this era, traveling more than 400 kilometers in a car is not a pleasant experience, which makes George miss flying even more.

After arriving in London, George was directly arranged to live in a small manor by Duke Mountbatten.

After meeting, Duke Mountbatten did not stay here long, but briefly said something and left.

To put it simply, there is no problem regarding the title.George and two others will be knighted on May 5, the day of the founding celebration.

As for the fiefdom that George was most concerned about, after Duke Mountbatten's negotiation, it was finally approved. After all, as Duke Mountbatten considered, for such a colony, if there is no Suez Canal, it will be in the eyes of these nobles. Become useless.Although the area is large, most of it is desert area, and there are various religious issues.It is definitely worth it to replace a piece of domestic fiefdom.

So there are a lot of materials and procedures that George needs to prepare and go through next.

While waiting, George also began to be invited to various aristocratic gatherings.This is an indispensable step to integrate into the aristocratic circle.Moreover, George also brought the old butler Fred from the old house to London.Because once he is awarded the honor, a banquet will be held to show that the inheritance of the Svent family is still there.

This kind of thing between nobles is troublesome, but it is indeed essential now.

Moreover, it is not very good to live in the Mountbatten family's manor all the time, and he is not short of money, so George is directly planning to buy a residence in London.

The best residence in London must belong to Kensington Palace Gardens. It is not a residence like other mansions on the list. It is a block next to Kensington Palace in the center of the West End of London, England.This is a street paved with money, and in later generations, members of the British royal family and billionaires from all over the world lived here. It is called "Billionaire Street" and is one of the most expensive residential streets in the world.Since the embassies of various countries in the UK are also located here, this street is also known as "the safest street in the world."

The freehold on this high street is owned by The Crown Estate. The Crown Estate is one of the UK's largest estate management companies established by an Act of Parliament.Most of the properties are for rent only and are sold to private buyers on long-term leases of 90-125 years.Due to the number of embassies and embassies on the street, police from the Diplomatic Protection Group have gates and checkpoints at each end of the road.

So after George took a fancy to this place, he found Duke Mountbatten and asked him to help clear it up.In the end, George chose a mansion on what would later become Rich Street.After cleaning and replacing daily necessities, George moved in with his people.

And this day is April 4st.
