"Really? But you know, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been making a bitter face so far that everyone owes him tens of thousands of pounds! ”

"You can't count on the Privy Council, but I can help you with an idea!"

Looking at Mayor William, whose face was a little discolored, Edward smiled, his eyes turned to his white-skinned hand, and then said casually.

"Oh, my majesty! I wonder if I have the privilege of hearing about this great method? ”

Although William didn't have much confidence in Edward's idea, the courtiers had to act around the king, and it was normal to make a sycophant.

William bowed forward and said respectfully to Edward.

Only then did Edward raise his head and strafe the coolies who were toiling around him, and those who met his gaze from time to time could only lower his head in a hurry.

"My mayor, look, how are these houses?"

Edward pointed to the dilapidated civilian houses that were staggered and patched with wood from time to time, and asked William behind him.

William looked at the houses where the civilians reeked of corruption, and whose doors or walls had a large hole, blinked, and looked at them carefully.

William was familiar with these dilapidated wooden houses, and he had lived in such an environment since he was a child.

"Your Majesty, there are many such houses in London, but if you have two floors like this, you will need at least fifty pounds!"

Although he hadn't been back to the civilian area for a long time, he was still familiar with all this, after all, he still had many relatives who still lived in the civilian area.

"Really? What about the more intact house next to it? ”

"About sixty pounds!"

"What if the house not only looks beautiful, has a toilet, but is also free of garbage and planted with trees and flowers?"

"Your Majesty, it would cost hundreds of pounds in this case!"

"But, Your Majesty, in London, only the rich have such houses!"

With questions, William said with Edward.

"Of course I know that it is only available in the rich area, but if it appears in the civilian area, how much do you think it will cost!"

Edward looked at the dilapidated houses and sighed, as if blaming them for their overkill.

William felt that he could not interrupt the king's lust at this time, but he thought it necessary to let the king know the present state of affairs in London.

"Your Majesty, for the time being, there are very few wealthy merchants and gentlemen who have settled in London, and they have little will!"

In fact, the squalid environment of London may have become accustomed to ordinary people, but it was unbearable for the gentlemen and aristocrats who lived in spacious and comfortable estates in the countryside.

Nor are they unaware of the great benefits of living in the political center of London.

However, the bubonic plague in London, which lasted for almost 200 years, frightened off these politically minded people.

"Don't worry, my mayor, I already know about this!"

"If you want to alleviate the financial crisis now, you only need to use all the money you have in the London treasury to buy a slum and build a number of simple inns!"

"In three months, I think, you'll make a lot of money!"

After saying this, Mayor William, who stopped and thought in place, walked directly to the streets that had been cleared.

Under the original darkness, there are large stones that have been smoothed, and some of them are still stone pavements left over from the Roman period.

Edward stepped on it a few times, and it felt like stepping on a smooth tile, with a hint of the rough texture of stone.

"My mayor, you only have to do one thing now, get rid of all the rats in London!"

"And all these dirty streets, alleys, all have to be cleaned up for me!"

Edward's words interrupted Mayor William in thought.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what I and the city government are currently working hard for!"

William ran quickly, getting closer to Edward, and then whispered.

"I am optimistic about you, Mr. Mayor! This is your chance to perform! ”

Edward didn't go over to see how the laborers were cleaning up with all sorts of tools, for he was afraid of regurgitation.

Just quietly looking at the sweaty laborers in the distance, I don't know what I was thinking, and Mayor William also accompanied him silently.

"Alright, Mr. Mayor, let's go!" Edward looked at the medieval paupers for about three minutes, then turned and left.

Boarding a normal carriage, Edward and William departed directly.

And the laborers, who had been working hard, did not know that their mayor and king had come to them and watched them work.

Norwich, the central city of Norfolk in the East Anglia region of England, is currently the largest city in England after London.

As early as 1066, it was one of the largest cities in England.

From the early 14th century to the late 18th century, it was the largest textile city in Britain.

Now, it is not only a distribution center for cattle, horses, livestock and grain in nearby counties and villages, but also has a well-developed processing industry for agricultural products such as brewing and flour, as well as brick making, leather, printing, chemistry, leather shoes and clothing.

In the Middle Ages, cities with a thriving handicraft industry were generally wealthy.

Due to the well-developed handicraft industry, Norwich has a variety of shops on the streets, such as grain shops, garment shops, shoe shops, banks, blacksmith shops, bars, carpenters' shops, leather shops, etc., thus forming a lively scene on the streets.

Sowel's father was a blacksmith, so unlike ordinary commoners, his wealthy father gave himself the surname Smith.

Smith means blacksmith, expressing his father's expectations for the succession of the family business.

In the Middle Ages, the work of a blacksmith was a little harder, but he belonged to a high-tech trade, and his life was much better than that of a carpenter, a leatherman, and a cooper.

But as the youngest of the three sons, Suvier was born with a physique that was not as strong as his two older brothers, so it was difficult for him to inherit the glorious profession of blacksmith.

Moreover, his father only had a blacksmith shop, which was to be passed on to the eldest brother, and his second brother would also own a blacksmith because he married the daughter of the neighbor Uncle Mack's family.

And poor man is not only physically unfit for the bright profession of blacksmith, but also does not marry a wife with a good dowry like his second brother.

So at the age of sixteen, he still hasn't gotten married.

Of course, the daughters of other commoners could also be married, but his father had always tried to marry him a woman who had been a blacksmith.

And Norwich has a population of 20,000 and only more than 30 blacksmith households, all of whom know the roots, how can they marry their daughter to a person who is not a blacksmith?

Shaking his head, Suvier shook off those worries, calmed down, and began to go to the bookstore to buy books.

After becoming a blacksmith with no hope, he began to study law with the encouragement of his father and mother.

Because Norwich has prospered for centuries, the entire city floor is paved with green bricks, and this is still a popular place for Norwich people.

Since the whole city is basically the domain of craftsmen, the atmosphere of reading is very light, and Suvier searched all over Norwich, and there are only three bookstores.

This time he'll be going to the bookstore in the heart of town, which is the largest bookstore in Norwich.

The bookstore doesn't have a signboard, just a flag with the appearance of a book, which serves as a sign for the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore is an old and retired lawyer, so there are more books on law and history here, and the only drawback is that the books are too expensive, and even at his family's level, it is difficult to consume a few books.

"Hey, Wyatt!" Sowel walked into the small bookstore and greeted the balding old man with reading glasses on the counter.

"Hey, Suvier!" The old man looked at the thick dictionary-like book in front of him, and said without raising his head.

"Today, I have bought another batch of new legal explanations, if you want to buy them, just give me three pounds!"

"Of course, as is customary, you only need to copy two copies, and you can read here every day!"

After saying this, Wyatt closed his shriveled lips and began to read the book seriously!

Souville, thinking about it, touched his pocket, but decided to transcribe two copies, his pocket money was only five pence.

Suvier went directly to the location of the new book, glanced at it, and quickly found the explanation of the new law, picked up a copy, and walked to the place where it was copied.

There was not much place to copy, only five tables could be placed in it, and the floor was full of paper, quill pens, and ink.

When Suvier came in, there were already two young men who were carefully transcribing.

His arrival did not disturb the two of them, and he did not take the initiative to say hello, so he found a random place to sit down, waved his arms, and began the great cause of copying books.

It didn't take long for Sowel to look up when he felt the darkness before him, and the other two stopped like him.

"Alright, it's dark, let's come back tomorrow!" One of the thin men with glasses said.

"Good! Come back tomorrow! Suvier said in unison with another curly-haired fellow.

The work of copying books is very complicated, not only requires neat handwriting, but also requires a good word, so it takes him half a month to transcribe a book of more than 100,000 yuan.

"Wilson, Kleru, how did you get here so early today!"

The three of them went out together, and after saying goodbye to Wyatt, they went home together.

"Souvel, I'm going to London with Kreroux in a few days, and I want to hurry up and finish the book that I didn't finish last time, we won't have the speed of yours!"

The thin Wilson shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Suwell and said.

"Yes! So why did you go to London? Can I help you? ”

Suvier asked curiously.

"Oh! Don't you know, my Souvel? The City of London has begun to solicit officials from all over England! ”

"Moreover, this time it is the method of examination to select the officials serving in London!"

"We can also go to the exam, as long as we are selected, even civilians can become officials!"

Curly Kræru couldn't help but interject. [.]
