Chapter 203 Team Leader
ps: The first update, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions.
"Yes!" Edward listened for a while, and found that England had received good benefits, and his heart was quite satisfied, "Your Excellency, let's sign this treaty according to it!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, follow your instructions! Hearing the King say this, Sir John nodded his head in approval with joy on his face.
"Let's take a look at the royal realm! Report back to me when you come back! Edward waved his hand and said lazily.
Seeing His Majesty like this, Sir John glanced at him, and then stepped back softly, leaving his lazy Majesty alone.
Half-reclining in his chair, Edward pondered the consequences of an alliance with Spain and how long it would last.
Thinking about it, Edward decided that he could let France and Spain fight in a wave while England was recuperating, and he couldn't let them rest.
"Yes! That's it! Edward's eyes lit up, he touched his nose, and said in affirmation.
The next day, Edward held a small ceremony in which he canonized Princess Marie as Count of France, in the name of the King of France, in the city of France.
According to the marriage between the two countries, a month later, on August 10, Princess Marie will marry Spain, as a dowry, including the city of Franceco.
The Spaniards didn't care about this, and Edward couldn't guess what Charles V had in mind.
However, King Henry II of France jumped to his feet angrily, declaring that he had legal rights to the French throne and that the Tudor royal family had no right to inherit the French throne, so Edward's canonization of the city of Franceco was unjustified.
For this kind of verbal battle, Edward is too lazy to fight, there is no time to waste saliva, anyway, Edward has always declared himself the king of France, whether you admit it or not.
In response, Henry II accelerated the pace of recruitment, and wanted to recapture Franceco as quickly as possible.
Due to the establishment of the Anglo-Spanish Alliance, England exported goods to Spain, so the whole of London was extraordinarily prosperous.
Clean alleys, spacious streets, rows of shops, orderly crowds, this is London six months after the establishment of the city government.
Crowds of people walked the streets, stopping from time to time in front of the hawkers.
A large carriage drawn by six horses runs gently on the rails, and the space can accommodate more than 10 people.
The carriage slowly stopped after a certain distance, and in a place with a plaque, the queue that had been lined up in advance could not wait to start boarding.
Among them, a well-dressed gentleman or a beautiful lady can make a relatively clean small workshop that can accommodate four people after paying two pennies.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, only need to pay a penny to sit in the ordinary workshop, where there are enough seats for eight, and with the addition of standing people, it can accommodate sixteen people.
Riding in a carriage, all the distance only needs to be paid at the beginning, and there is no need to pay extra, which is indeed a convenient and cheap means of transportation for ordinary people.
It was a public carriage for railroad tracks that Edward painstakingly invented.
Thanks to a few months of renovation by the City of London, there is plenty of room for rails on the spacious London streets, which is the biggest trace of Edwardian Traversal!
It is said that it is a railroad track, but in fact it is just wood-clad iron, and in this era when iron is used as a war reserve, it is indeed a waste to spend a lot of iron to build this thing.
Of course, it can be caused because of the abundance of iron ore in England, and the average country does not have the energy to get it.
It was Edward who remembered that he used his remaining knowledge to remind the blacksmiths to use the blast furnace to make iron.
After the efficiency is doubled, it can be used to make things other than weapons like local tyrants.
For the changes he brought about, Edward often stayed in the palace, and he didn't do any micro-service private tours, and his experience was not deep enough, but for Ham, who lived in London, the changes of the year were enough to surprise him.
Since the last time he participated in the road building campaign organized by the City of London, he has made a good impression on a London government clerk, and he no longer works as a dock worker, but goes to eat the government's salary.
At Edward's request, the City Management Office of the City of London set up a health department, and he was honored to be a health officer. That is, the street sweeper.
His main job is to clean the streets and clean up the garbage in the garbage pond on time, and his jurisdiction is the four hundred households around his home.
Although it is very tiring, the job is very stable, unlike the dock workers who rely on the weather to eat, when there are more ships, they earn more, and when there are fewer ships, they earn less, or even do not make money.
It was different to be a hygienist, he was paid four shillings and forty-eight pence a month.
Not only can this money feed everyone in his family, but he also has a surplus every month to help relatives or buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes for his children.
With a big broom, Ham wore a gray single coat, and when he saw the stolen goods, he went to sweep them, which was his duty.
Ham was thinking happily about whether he was going to have a snack in the evening, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ham, Ham—" Hearing his name, Ham turned around and saw that it was Lemuel, a staff member of the head of the hundred-household district.
"Mr. Mir, is there anything you want me to do?" Ham put down the broom in his hand and walked over with a smile, his tone respectful.
Lemuel saw that Ham finally reacted, and said funny: "Ham, what are you thinking?" I've called you several times, but I didn't respond! ”
Ham was stupid and didn't know what to say, so he could only respond with a giggle.
"Okay, I'll inform you, before dinner in the evening, notify the head of your group family to come to the district elder, there is something to announce!" Lemuel also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply didn't wait for him, and just said it without panting.
"Got it, I'll let them all go before eating!" Ham nodded innocently, patting his chest in reassurance.
"Yes!" Lemuel nodded when he heard the assurance, and then prepared to leave, he still had several people to inform, and there was no time to waste.
"Walk slowly!" Ham stooped over and bid the young clerk farewell.
After London was divided into 100 and 1000 districts, each borough had a borough governor and tax collector, as well as a sheriff.
There were four people under the mayor, and the young man was one of them, so Ham was very respectful to him.
It is said that it is a hundred-household district, and some hundred-household districts have hundreds of households with a population of five or six hundred, while others only have eighty or ninety households with a population of four or five hundred.
Therefore, the team leader came into being, the "team leader" has no establishment, no salary, and is elected by a dozen or so families, and Ham is also selected as the team leader because he is a hygienist and eats government food.
