Then there are silver-inlaid walking sticks made of water sinking wood, iron core wood, etc., which generally cost about 10 halso. If it's better wood and gold-inlay, the price will be higher.

However, although the ones sold in the store are also handmade, those nobles use them to make them privately by famous craftsmen, and the price can be said to be very expensive, of course, the materials used are real money.

Daniel, who was holding a gold-encrusted cane, looked at the little guy in front of him with a little pity: "Is there anything you need help with?"

As he spoke, he prepared to ask the servant behind him to bring out a haso and give it to him.

Although Daniel is a businessman, he sometimes boasts a little kindness, and he thinks that he has compassion for the job he gave to Cole Sr., for which he is a little touched by his actions.

Hmph, he's not one of those guys who only knows how to make money and endlessly oppress the poor.

"No, I don't want your money, good sir. Chris respectfully bowed to Daniel in front of him, thanked him, and then asked:

"I want to ask if you can give me a job, I can do anything. ”

After hearing this, he paused, looked at Chris's small body, and politely refused:

"I'm so sorry, dear, that you're too young to accept child labor. ”

Chris hurriedly said, "I don't need to be paid, sir, you can be merciful, as long as you can provide food and shelter." ”

As he spoke, Chris looked at Daniel with pitiful eyes, as if he was looking at the last straw, and this gaze made Daniel very useful.

Daniel was a little moved when he heard Chris's words, he had a ready-made staff dormitory, how much can such a young child eat, and saw Chris's eyes with respect and hope, and felt that his kindness was about to attack again.

"Forget it, forget it. Daniel knocked on the ground with a gold-encrusted cane in his right hand, touched Chris's head with his leather gloved left hand, and smiled:

"Old Cole used to be my most faithful and able friend, and I can't refuse his child's request, poor boy, come and work with me. ”

"Gary. Daniel looked back at the servant behind him, "Take the boy to the steward, and take him around the factory and the car dealership to see which work can be done." ”

"Yes, sir. The servant Gary walked over to Chris and took the latter elsewhere.

"Hey, I selflessly helped a desperate little guy again. Daniel stood there and sighed, moved by his kindness.

It's been three years since Cole Simon died.

Between the shadows of the rows of Irish plane trees, a teenager pulls passing guests in a clean-wiped carriage.

The boy was about ten years old, and wore a brown cap with a low brim that almost covered his eyes. This hat originally belonged to the convicts of the Republic of Ireland, and was somewhat different from the traditional deer-hunting hat of the Kingdom of Artis. Compared to straw hats, this kind of peaked hat is very popular with young people from the bottom of Ireland.

He wears a clean gray collarless shirt and black jacket, navy blue canvas bib pants, and a pair of cheap rubber boots on the soles of his feet. He also had a small leather whip in his hand.

In the carriage sat a well-dressed gentleman who, upon arrival at his destination, casually tipped Chris a halfpence.

"Thank you sir, have a nice day. Chris shouted from behind.

After the most difficult year, Chris has a bargaining price, although Chris is small, but he has a very lively vision, specializing in bars and brothels and other places to keep people, and later relying on clean dress and sweet mouth, he can also get some young ladies and wives to choose.

Although Chris didn't have a salary at first, he also got a little tip, and then he pulled more people and brought objective income to the car and horse dealership, so he signed a contract with the boss Daniel, and 20% of the daily income went to Chris, except for tips.

Here, whether the working days are long or short, more and more people are commuting to work. Domestic helpers are probably the only profession that doesn't require time spent on commuting.

With the development of the Industrial Revolution pioneered by Arnold the Great, small farms became less profitable, small-scale family workshops were replaced by industrial factories, and more workers went out to work.

Whether in the countryside or in the city, walking to work seems to have become a routine. Long working hours make most families want to live as close to their workplace as possible, even if it's cramped and scruffy.

However, some people still have to walk long distances every day because of their short working hours. For this reason, it is extremely uneconomical to move or rent. It's akin to a game of money, time, convenience, job opportunities, and family stress.

Of course, for those who are wealthy, it doesn't matter if they want to, even if they live a little further away from the workplace. They can travel with horses and wagons.

As a result, there were carriage companies in Federenburg, which invested in the establishment of carriage dealers and hired cheap coachmen.

The main means of transport in Federenburg were horse-drawn carriages and trains. Horse-drawn carriages are divided into public carriages built by the government, private carriages of the rich and nobles, and free carriages of carriages and horses.

The government's public carriage is, at its core, an ornately decorated two-wheeled wagon, or a slow-moving stagecoach.

Most of the carriages were 12 feet long and less than 6 feet wide, with rows of benches on each side. Above is an open roof, with two rows of seats placed back to back in the middle of the roof, surrounded by low guardrails to prevent passengers from falling. To access the roof, passengers need to use the ladder at the back of the horse-drawn carriage.

Most companies design public carriages with a capacity of 20 people and a roof of 16.

These public transports are for the middle class and the wealthy, and the timetables and routes are tailored to the specific needs of this group. Every day at 10 a.m., trains and horse-drawn carriages carry the gentry to the commercial centres of London and the major towns.

But in fact they did not feel comfortable, after all, the carriage seats were small, and there was no break during the whole journey, which made the passengers suffer.

Chris read the words of a columnist in the Federenburg Morning Post, a newspaper that guests threw on the wagon:

"When you get in and out of the car, it's important to stay calm and calm, first with your left foot, then with your right foot, then with your left foot, then with your right foot. Please stand on one foot before moving the other. When you successfully climb onto the roof or compartment, hold on to the nearest handrail. If you don't, a sudden run or heat can knock you back to the ground. ”

Then there will be an advertisement for a car and horse shop next to it:

"If you just want to get on the bus and seek a thrill, then the horse-drawn carriage is perfect for you. Sitting on the roof of a public carriage can be regarded as a thrilling thing when encountering traffic jams. However, if the ladies and gentlemen choose our carriage, you will not have to worry about it at all. ”

"Our carriage has gorgeous carriages that shelter from the elements, which are not only much safer than public carriages, but also have only three seats and only pull guests one at a time.

In other words, we can fully respect the privacy of gentlemen and ladies. Of course, we don't have a fixed route to get you anywhere. ”

Since the widespread investment in this free carriage, although it is more expensive than the public carriage, it is still favored by some middle-class people who have a lot of money.

Because horses pulling carriages in public carriages are likely to unleash or behave in unpredictable ways, the wisest thing to do is to hold on to the handrails. But if climbing up and down ladders or clutching handrails isn't your style, squeeze into the carriage.

But it is customary for the passengers who get on the bus first to sit at the back. So if you rush to sit in the middle of the car, you will be seen as an aggressive move.

If you have the opportunity to choose a seat, don't choose next to the driver, and don't choose the innermost.

Because in the former case, your feet will be coming and going by passengers coming in and out. In the latter case, you will have a hard time getting the driver to understand where you are going to get off.
