293 Changing customs

Not only did these cheap goods fill the market, but also more people carried them into the countryside, and some simple farmers in the past now dare to go to the market when they see the good condition of the roads, and then they learn the know-how of doing business in the market, and start to run a part-time business - after they transport eggs, cheese and other agricultural products to the market and sell them, not only buy what they need, but also buy more, and go back and sell them to their neighbors who can't go to the market because of something, of course, they can have the capital to do such things. It is also because of agricultural technology that they have obtained a bumper harvest that they did not have in the past, not only to eat enough but also to have surplus grain to sell; Second, cheap goods allow them to buy more things for less than in the past.

Yes, in the past they had to go hungry in order to save grain, eggs, and cheese from their mouths, and to get a little salt and needlework from the merchant, but now that they are full, they have more and more to buy from the merchant!

It also stimulates their desires.

In the past, only the lord and the housekeeper had neatly colored clothes to wear, but now there are people in the neighborhood who rely on farming and road construction to earn themselves a piece of flower cloth!

When everyone didn't have to wear it, it was just that, and now the neighbor who was also unclothed actually put on a set of clothes that looked like a master, how could this make his neighbors not blush? Under this stimulus, one by one, they went to listen to the technical lectures of the peasant associations that had escaped, borrowed money from the peasant associations to buy livestock and improved seeds, and invited the priests of the "Tournest School" to recite the scriptures and preach before planting......

In the eyes of the city's artisans, at first they sold their products for the same price. But there are more customers coming to buy than before. This is because in the past many things were only affordable for the old man, and now every serf wants to buy one for himself. After earning some money from farming, feeding livestock, making zuò cheese, beekeeping, and part-time work, they eagerly tried to approach and imitate the higher ranks of them in terms of clothing and all aspects.

This habit of "striving for the top" is deeply rooted in the hearts of every civilized race. As the saying goes, the city is so high, and the square is one foot high; The city has a wide eyebrow, square and half-forehead; There are so big sleeves in the city, and all the squares are full of silk...... Later, there was a time when Her Majesty wanted to give an award speech to those peasant representatives who were actively working hard, and was shocked by the rows of exaggerated costumes. These are peasant representatives in red and green balloon sleeve bubble pants? I don't believe it!

It took a long time for the courtiers to convince her that this was indeed a group of peasants, nothing more than a group of nouveau riche peasants. Finally got a chance to show off the dress they had bought with all their savings......

Even the evil Great Demon King of the Otherworld, His Majesty, was messed up by the clothes of the nouveau riche, not to mention the old nobles and old forces who were already unaccustomed to the new dynasty.

Jokes that ridicule the dress of the new nouveau riche and all sorts of misbehaved jokes spread violently in their circles, and they brazenly ridicule their rudeness and clumsiness, as well as the fact that the outburst is actually stingy. For example, when a farmer was in a hurry, he pulled a female staff member passing by and asked her loudly where the toilet was!

"Then when I squatted in the pit, it was a pity that the manure was not accumulated in my own home!" Karl, a former merchant who bought large wool bags, said humorously. It won the applause of the audience.

Then, together with his friends, he remembered the good, old Neustria, in which such a ridiculous thing would never have happened, and in that good old age, the peasants were so unclothed and terrified that they did not even dare to look at them in such a high rank!

"What a wonderful time it was!" They sighed together. At that time, wealthy and aristocratic people with family backgrounds were respected everywhere. Unlike now, where they only measure a person's status by the number of gold coins in their wallet!

But more people liked this new, rude, but vibrant age, and the peasant nouveau riche, who dressed themselves as much as they could, imitated the old aristocracy, their sons and even daughters, all of whom attended literacy classes, and joined the militia, and some of whom joined the cavalry and navy, did not donate land to the church or swear allegiance to the king, as the old nobles did, but who took the initiative to give their children and taxes into the hands of the new government. Their faithfulness is in the heart, not on paper.

They believed every word of the new government proclamation as if they were believing the Scriptures, and "what the government said" gradually became as effective as "what the Scriptures say", and they did not hesitate to believe the story of the Pope of the Eternal City who voluntarily ran to them, the only problem was that they did not know what the Eternal City was......

"It must be a bad place, I guess it's like hell." The peasants said, "God bless him for his escape!" ”

And these bells and whistles, blindly believing in the new government, although they are despised by the former wool bag buyer Carl and others, in their neighbors, they are the idols of life, because they all see that these people used to be as poor as them, but now they wear red and green, so they all respect them as idols and leaders, and because they are close to the new government, it is easier to hear the news, plus they are the first batch of successful people who start farming and working, they naturally have the advantages of hard work and calculation. Therefore, there are many supporters in the countryside, and they have become "upstarts". They say that the Eternal City is hell, and everyone else believes that it is.

When the latecomers also saved enough money to buy luxury goods like their idols, the market was briefly nervous, because in the past these things only met the needs of a small number of people, and when the number of customers suddenly increased, the price went up. Fortunately, this frightening price increase was temporary, because now that the restrictions on the trade unions were lifted, and more people were coming to the city to find work in order to earn more money - it was a wonderful thing!

The farm work that the serfs had barely done under the whip in the past was now not only better than before, but also faster than before, so that they had free time to find work to do. This saving of labor time is due to the availability of all kinds of new farm tools, and secondly, because they are now working for themselves, and in the past they used to sleep when they found the opportunity, but now they will no longer sleep in the fields - they will have to work elsewhere to earn money to buy themselves a bed when they finish their work early!
