Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 225 The Earl of Aberdeen

At the end of 1990, on Christmas Eve, Joseph quietly went to the Earl of Aberdeen in Scotland.

The title of the Aberdeen Territory has just been given recently. The main reason is that the Earl of Aberdeen family owns tens of thousands of acres of land, tenant farmers, and a population of more than [-] people. Some nobles in Scotland jokingly call it the Earl of Aberdeen Territory.

Although the town under construction is owned by the Scottish government, because the entire town belongs to the Aberdeen family, the influence of the Aberdeen family in the town can be imagined.

The earl is not around, so it is Li Xiaohan who will affect the position of the mayor. Without his consent, some local committees would not dare to appoint and elect the mayor at will.

Apart from other things, Li Xiaohan only needs to raise the price of local grain and rent, and those angry farmers will smash down the doors of the houses of these committee members.

The town has not been built yet, but John has already appointed the mayor. He stands on the construction site every day and directs the workers to work, build houses, build roads, and even prepare to build a branch railway to transport some of the land in the Earl of Aberdeen in the future. Food and specialty items.

Before the town of Aberdeen was erected, some orders and investment had already come to the door.Naturally, they are not for nothing, these are all due to Joseph's credit and connections.

Joseph didn't want too many Nord traces in the Earl of Aberdeen, and the friends of the King Nord who rarely showed up extended a helping hand, among which Huaxia was the most caring.

The purpose is simple, they hope that Li Xiaohan can become a nobleman with extraordinary influence in Scotland and even the United Kingdom in the future, and be able to speak for China at certain times and places.

Although the earl is Joseph, everyone knows that the real controller here is Li Xiaohan, a Chinese from the East. Yes, Li Xiaohan is already a British citizen at this time. In fact, not only she but also Li Xiaoxi are the same.

Li's mother came here specially because Li Xiaohan was pregnant and gave birth. Li's father also held the position of deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The position of Deputy Director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau was also obtained because of his daughter?But that is completely different from following his daughter directly. All in all, the father of the Li family doesn't want to be a person who uses his daughter to eat and drink. He also cares about the face of the head of the family.

Li Xiaoxi's British nationality is mainly for the convenience of going to school in the UK. Although I don't want to admit it, studying abroad is quite a big thing at this time, not to mention that middle schools and universities are all in the UK.

Immigration application?Is this still difficult for the Countess?The real situation is that the immigration officials came to the castle to go through the formalities in person, and Li Xiaohan and Li Xiaoxi didn't even show up during the process.

Because of Joseph's arrival, the castle was obviously different, and the servants had the happiest smiles on their faces, especially Allen, whose old face was almost bursting with laughter.

The black Rolls-Royce has already headed to the airport, and now all they need to do is wait. The only important person who went to the airport may be John. He is the most anxious one, eager to show off his achievements to Joseph.

……

Glasgow Airport
Joseph in a black suit stepped off the plane very low-key, looked at the black Rolls-Royce not far away and couldn't help smiling. Of course, the smile was not because of the Rolls-Royce, but John in front of more than ten black-clothed bodyguards.

"Long time no see, my friend."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

With a slight hug, even though he knew that Joseph was the king of Nord, John still couldn't keep his distance. This was naturally what Joseph wanted to see.

"Why didn't you go to my wedding?"

At the wedding of the century, Joseph also invited his good friends from Cambridge, and everyone else happily went but John refused, which puzzled Joseph all the time.

"Don't forget my current identity, the future mayor of Aberdeen, I am not suitable to go to Nord to attend your wedding, unless I don't want to serve my little princess in the future."

The little princess is not referring to Li Xiaohan, but Joseph and her daughter, the only heir Alice or Li Muqing.

"So, Mr. Mayor of my small town of Aberdeen, when will we leave?"

"Of course it is now, my lord."

After bowing down and saluting a gentleman, Joseph sat in the car without any formalities.

"Where did you learn these things?"

"Alan's butler, if he thinks it's very elegant, he will learn to use it."

"It's better to do less, that's the etiquette for servants when they face nobles."

Hearing this, John opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he still kept his mouth shut. He knew that Joseph would not like to hear what he said, even if he was living with the Aberdeen family now.

About half an hour after leaving Glasgow Airport, the convoy started to drive towards a narrower road, and suddenly Joseph saw a road sign—the private domain of the Aberdeen family ahead.

"Here too?"

John understood what Joseph was asking, and nodded proudly: "Extending to the old castle, the [-] acres of land belong to the Aberdeen family, and there is even a small mountain range and a hot spring in the mountain range. "

"If nothing else happens, the road sign just now is your handwriting!"

If the Aberdeen family's private territory is so arrogant, it is definitely not something that Li Xiaohan or Allen can do.

"You guessed it wrong this time. It was written by Butler Allen. He said it was a specially placed road sign to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake, but I think it's just for showing off."

It is indeed showing off. There are still many nobles in the UK, but there are only a few who own so much land. Not to mention Scotland, the Aberdeen family in the entire United Kingdom is estimated to be one of the best landlords.

3000 million pounds, 3000 million pounds to buy such a remote and barren land, if the seeds from Nord are not better, this land will only bring losses to the Aberdeen family for years.

In terms of area, it is indeed the largest here, but in terms of quality, it may be equivalent to three to four thousand acres of land in England. It is located in the upper middle class, but it is definitely not the largest landowner advertised in the newspapers.

It's already winter, and the northern part of Scotland itself is relatively cold. Not to mention now, the land on both sides of the road has been piled up with snow, and scattered animals such as elk are running to find food.

"This is Xi's pet. She has the largest herd of elk in the Earl of Aberdeen."

Joseph imagined Li Xiaohan's description of her eccentric sister in his mind, and it was hard to imagine that such a little loli could raise such a herd of elk.

"Don't they run out of the territory?"

"No, they are very obedient and smart, and they usually move around. The last time someone wanted to hunt them, it scared them enough."

John smiled and talked about the elk, and every time he thought of the picture of Li Xiaoxi leading the manservant of the castle with a shotgun to hunt down the hunter with an angry face, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.Of course, holding a shotgun didn't intend to kill the opponent, it was just a scare.

What a naughty little guy!
Joseph had a slight headache, wondering if his gift would satisfy her.

The gifts were delivered by freight, and they were all in the hands of the guards. They had just been sent to the back compartment of the specially arranged truck with Joseph's boarding.

"How is Mrs. Li?"

how about it?After being taken aback for a while, John realized what Joseph was asking, and couldn't help but smile: "A very kind old man, I believe you will get along well."

Joseph did not have the nervousness and anxiety of meeting his mother-in-law for the first time. After all, he is the King of Nord, and the old lady of the Li family should be the one who should be worried, even if he is the Earl now.

The castle was soon revealed, and there were already a dozen owners of the castle and servants of higher status standing at the gate, including Butler Allen, the Earl's valet Alvin, and so on.

Blonde hair and black eyes, handsome appearance, tall and straight figure, very energetic against the backdrop of a suit, the most important thing is that smile, which makes people feel good.

This was the first impression that the old lady of the Li family had when she met Joseph. As expected of Xiao Muqing's father, her beauty was indeed not solely due to her own daughter.

Looking at Li Xiaohan's mother, who looked like a middle-aged Chinese mother in her forties, Joseph smiled and bent down to salute: "Mrs. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Xiaohan has said before that the West does not have the habit of calling mother-in-law, so although she is very reluctant, Li's mother is still very happy to accept Joseph's greetings.

"Nice to meet you, too, Joseph."

The mother of the Li family was a little nervous and didn't know how to respond to Joseph's salute. Fortunately, Joseph quickly turned his attention to Li Xiaoxi who was third.

With bright eyebrows and bright eyes, pink and tender skin, what a cute and beautiful little loli, you can vaguely see a trace of Li Xiaohan, she is indeed a real sister.

"You must be Li Xiaoxi! William!"

"Your Majesty... Lord Earl."

William, the chief of the Security Bureau, commanded the guards to move out a large box from the truck compartment. As the box was opened, a three- to four-month-old lioness cub was displayed in front of everyone.

"I once had a pet, this is his daughter, and now I give it to you, Xi."

"Thank you brother-in-law."

The sweet smile and crisp voice make Joseph very happy, as long as he is happy, everything will be fine.

Patting Li Xiaoxi on the head, Joseph looked at Alan on the other side, without noticing the difference that flashed in Li Xiaohan's eyes, his sister knew it best, but she was very difficult to serve, especially you who hated others touching her It didn't occur to him that he didn't show his face to Joseph or open his hand.

"Alan, the castle and here are very nice."

Although it is just a simple sentence, what can be more appreciated than this sentence?
"Hard work, Han."

Turning around, there are only three words for Li Xiaohan, but compared to other words, these three words are obviously the most suitable for this. Li Xiaohan smiled and did not answer, everything was in silence.
