Chapter 210: The Duke of Parma

  With time on his hands, Mu Yang took a look at his own system. In fact, when he accepted the title of George V, Mu Yang had already received the system information and had taken a look once before, but hadn't claimed the reward yet. Now that he had some free time, Mu Yang brought up the system again.

  Task bar, "family glory", there is a complete button behind the task, but what's more surprising is that a data bar actually appears below.

  Title: British Baron, Doctor of Cambridge, Professor

  Wealth: £6,782,330 (only counting money owned in this world).

  Land area: 0.8 square kilometers.

  Muyang felt that the system was becoming more and more considerate, it actually calculated so clearly, the money was even calculated to the decimal place, although he didn't know how these items were calculated to get the final score, but Muyang estimated they were equally important.

  There is also a new task below, titled: "State, Status, Diplomacy".

  Muyang guessed a lot, but never figured out what these four words meant. Was it to establish one's own country and then gain recognition from other countries in the world, and then conduct diplomacy? Muyang was at a loss.

  However, he didn't take it rashly, with a systematic approach, as long as he took it himself, basically it was the starting rhythm, now many things haven't been completed yet, busy like that, let's talk about it later.

  After Mu Yang got the medicine, he returned to the Spanish battlefield during World War I.

  He taught some of the medicine to Elfu, and the production work was naturally handled by him and Huang Yusheng. Mu Yang, on the other hand, had nothing to do, so he decided to go to Majorca Island, known as the pearl of the Mediterranean, which would soon belong to him. As tourism was his greatest hobby, Mu Yang naturally wanted to take a look at the island first.

  Muyang landed on the east coast, the west coast of Mallorca is a cliff coastline, and the east coast has the most beautiful beaches. Palma is in a bay on the east coast.

  Mallorca has a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild and pleasant temperatures for most of the year. The average high temperature in winter, from December to March, is around 16°C. July and August are the warmest months, with highs around 30°C.

  Although it is an island, Mallorca has 300 days of sunshine per year, making it a great place to enjoy the sun.

  Since the late 19th century, Mallorca, the largest island in Spain, has been attracting a large number of artists and musicians with its intoxicating beauty. They come to visit this sea island, not only to appreciate its picturesque scenery but also to hear a romantic love story that took place here - the love between Chopin and George Sand. In 1838, Chopin and George Sand rented several rooms in the Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa village and spent an entire winter there, writing "A Majorcan Love Story".

  Muyang spent five days on the island of Mallorca, where he enjoyed the sunny days, lying in a deck chair every day, blowing warm sea breezes, enjoying the winter sun, reading a good book, or taking a nap, which was absolutely the most comfortable thing to do.

  No wonder Mallorca Island will become a tourist resort in the future, it is indeed a good place to relax, just looking at that blue sky and leisurely clouds, it will make you feel relaxed and unwilling to leave.

  "Sir, someone from the Spanish government has arrived and wishes to see you." said Mu Yang's servant.

  Muyang removed the book from his face and opened his somewhat bleary eyes. "They said something's up?"

  "No, I just came to pay a visit and have something to say to you," said the servant.

  "Alright, call them over then." Murong said, covering his face with the book again and continuing to rest.

  "Mr. Williams, sorry to disturb your rest, we are staff from the Government Affairs Management Department and have come to report to you on the procurement of medicines during this period." Amidst his drowsiness, a voice reached his ears.

  Muyang put down the book and stretched his waist, saying, "Isn't there Elfr? Why come find me? Has something happened?"

  "No, sir, we've already looked for Mr. Elfer and he said the amount is too large, it needs your personal confirmation, so we came over."

  "How much money? Tell me."

  "Total 12.75 million pesetas, equivalent to £852,000."

  "What's the meaning of you coming here?" Mu Yang was puzzled. This sum of money wasn't a lot, so why did they want to find him in person?

  "In the contract, you requested that all pesos be exchanged for gold and delivered to you. We have come to negotiate with you about this matter. We hope to use pesos to pay for this shipment."

  "What do I want to do with pesetas, give me gold instead." Mu Yang wasn't stupid, Spain was basically on the verge of economic collapse now, getting a bunch of Spanish pesetas would only lead to a huge devaluation in the end.

  "But the kingdom's gold reserves are limited, can it be exchanged for something else?"

  "Whatever it is, let's get one thing straight, I don't want any paper money."

  "Jewelry, oil paintings, crafts, land, building materials... all of these are possible." The staff member said.

  "Okay, that's fine. By the way, for the second payment of goods, you can use it as labor compensation." Mu Yang had plans to develop Majorca Island and would need many people in the future, so Spain could compensate with labor instead.

  Two days later, Mu Yang returned to Madrid, Spain, where a grand award ceremony was waiting for him.

  Under the gaze of all Spanish nobility, he took the sword handed over by Alfonso XIII and buckled it at his waist, donned a white ermine cape and on his head the coronet symbolizing his power, today Spain has one more duke, the Duke of Parma, Joseph M. Williams, Your Grace.

  And Majorca also formally became the private property of Miao Yang, this result made many Spanish nobles marvel, because having a territory with complete autonomy is equivalent to a principality, which is a right that other nobles do not have.

  However, to ease the relationship, Mu Yang told King Alfonso that most of the money he earned in Spain would be used for the construction of Majorca Island, which slightly calmed down Alfonso XIII's heart.

  Muyang left some medicine with Elfu and asked him to be in charge of production in Spain, while also giving him a task to take care of the renovation and construction plan of Majorca Island.

  Muyang took out a plan book, which was basically the construction of modern Mallorca Island. He took out a part and asked Elfu to build according to the requirements on it.

  What needs to be built is neither too much nor too little.

  After all, this is Muyang's fief in the future, a castle is indispensable, and a road that runs through the entire island must be built. In addition, a pharmaceutical factory should be built, a large one, and a research center. The facilities must be complete. As for the money, it will come from Spain's cargo payments. There is enough money.

  And Spain is also willing to pay off in this way, after all, it's labor-intensive and can solve the employment of some people, without having to spend money directly to buy medicine, which makes the Spanish government and Alfonso XIII a little better.

  Muyang bid farewell to everyone, took two servants with him, and boarded a mail boat back to England.
