Chapter 872: A Rich and Well-Prepared Manor
As soon as he entered the main house of the manor, Yang Sikang was immediately convinced that this manor was definitely prepared in advance by the royal family and was about to be given to him.
The interior furnishings and decorations were similar in style to those he had arranged when he was in White Eagle, and some subtle details were carefully arranged, showing that they were all prepared according to his preferences.
Although the entire mansion has a simple appearance, it is well maintained. Although the internal furnishings and decorations seem to be of a certain age, he is sure that they were all renovated recently, but the designers responsible for the decoration and the makers of the materials are all very skilled.
In addition to this main house, there are many other main buildings in the entire manor. Although Yang Sikang has dozens of ship girls, it is impossible for them to really use such a large place.
Judging from the size of the manor, if it was in its heyday, it could accommodate at least several hundred people working in the manor, not to mention the owner's family.
The main house of the manor is shaped like a castle, but probably because it was not built that long ago, its shape is not that exaggerated.
There were several documents on the table in the study, including the property statistics of the manor.
Because it is not a product of the manor system, but a manor built by wealthy former nobles for their own glory, it does not have complete self-sufficiency capabilities. And because it is close to the coast, there are no exaggerated things like ranches.
However, surprisingly, this manor seems to own a large area of arable land and has the ability to make wine. It seemed to have some fame in a small area in the past, but the output was basically only enough to provide the host with the needs of maintaining banquets, so it did not expand.
"Master, the children of the exploration team said they found a wine cellar, and it seems that there is still a lot of wine stored in it."
"Storing wine?"
Yang Sikang was surprised at first, then nodded in understanding.
Generally speaking, for a manor with its own specialties, the former owner will most likely take away the most valuable parts when he leaves.
However, considering that War-weary said that the previous owner had to give up due to debt, it seems understandable that the wine was left behind.
But these things were able to be kept until their arrival, so they must have been given to him together.
"Let someone check to see if there's any spoiled wine in the cellar."
Although it is an old manor, its interior is not out of touch with the times. It is just that due to many of its past designs, it cannot be perfectly integrated with modern technology.
So after trying it out, Yang Sikang discovered that the control system of the manor could not perfectly control all areas of the manor, so he first installed Bai Ze's terminal, and then handed over the inspection and planning work to Bai Ze.
Now that it is under his name, of course he has to arrange it well.
"Belfast, the list states that this estate has private ownership of a small fishing port. Have Wichita take a few people over to check if it can still be used."
"Yes, Master. Sheffield sent a message just now. It seems that she found many books and collections in the master bedroom. She asked if you want to leave them behind."
"Stay here for now, I'll go over and take a look later."
"Yes, Master."
Such a large manor was unexpected for Yang Sikang, but it was also a good place.
After all, with the size of his fleet, it is indeed difficult to find a more suitable place to live than this place. And at the same time, it can also meet the various needs of different ship girls.
Yubari and Ingraham, who like to do their research behind closed doors, can choose any place they like, whether it is a basement, a tower or simply build a house somewhere outside.
Those who love adventure, like Bristol, can explore to their heart's content. The castle-like main house alone is enough for them to explore for a while.
It would be even better for him if the small fishing port could still be used.
Looking at the dazzling list in his hand, and picking up the complete map of the overall and individual buildings next to it, Yang Sikang smiled helplessly.
"They are basically determined to force this manor on me."
Having said that, he had nothing to worry about. After all, considering the help he provided to the royal family, this was not something that was incomprehensible.
Putting aside other things, just the special transformation of Warspite, in this era when the threat of Sirens is gradually increasing, for a faction like the Royal Family, which is native to an island country, isn’t it worthy of such a manor?
So he signed with great peace of mind.
"It's really detailed, and the environment here is also very good. Haha, it seems that this royal trip will be more comfortable than previously expected."
He put both documents back on the table, walked to the window, opened it and overlooked the courtyard outside.
This study is provided to the owner of the manor. It is close to the master bedroom and has great lighting and views.
For example, from here he could see Lafite dozing off against the trunk of a big tree in the courtyard, Javelin and Eldridge looking for small animals, and so on.
Looking further away, they can see the port area where they arrived, and further ahead is the sea.
"Master, we have a visitor."
Belfast went and came back, and behind her was the glory.
"Hello, Commander Yang."
Guanghui came here mainly to introduce this manor to Yang Sikang, and from her, Yang Sikang also got more information about this manor.
At least the origin of this manor is just as War-weary said. Probably to avoid any misunderstanding, the royal family has thoughtfully prepared all the necessary evidence.
Such complete and thoughtful preparations made Yang Sikang a little amused, because it gave him the illusion that he was a leader who was reviewing the performance of local governments.
However, it was also from Guanghui that Yang Sikang learned in advance about the situation of the small fishing port that he asked the ship girls to check.
"The small fishing port that originally belonged to this manor is actually still there, but no one has used it for many years. Originally, that small port could only accommodate a few small boats, and at most they were used for fishing. After the development of modern technology, it was gradually abandoned because even speedboats could not dock there."
"So, is it still usable now?"
"In theory, it is possible, but the prerequisite is to repair it. No one has taken care of it for many years, and it has become a mess. Not only the port, but also the surrounding areas need to be cleaned up. Of course, if you need it, we can send people to help you clean it up."
"It's been in disrepair for a long time, so it's okay to tear it down and rebuild it, right?"
Guanghui understood what Yang Sikang meant and nodded with a smile.
"In fact, it's not far from the port area, and its safety is guaranteed. However, please inform us before you plan to demolish and rebuild it, so as to avoid misjudgment by the port defense forces."
Yang Sikang nodded and said with a smile:
"Then let's do it now, Miss Guanghui, please contact the staff at the port area to prepare to clean up the ruins. I will have them demolish the old port right away."
