BXBX NOVEL Chapter 196: team leader
"En!" Edward listened roughly for a while, and found that the benefits England received were not bad, and he was quite satisfied. "Your Excellency, let\'s sign according to this treaty!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, follow your instructions!" Hearing what the king said, Sir John nodded in approval with joy on his face.
"Go and see the situation in the royal family\'s territory! Report to me when you come back!" Edward waved his hand and said lazily.
Seeing His Majesty the King like this, Sir John took a look, and then stepped back softly, leaving His Majesty the lazy alone.
Half lying on the chair, Edward pondered the consequences of the alliance with Spain, and how long this alliance will exist.
Thinking about it, Edward decided to let France and Spain play a wave while England was recuperating, and they could not be allowed to rest.
"En! Let\'s do it!" Edward said affirmatively, rubbing his nose with his eyes shining.
The next day, Edward held a small ceremony. In the name of the King of France, he conferred the title of Princess Mary as Earl of Francisco, whose territory is the city of Francisco.
According to the marriage between the two countries, one month later, that is, on August 10, Princess Mary will marry Spain. As a dowry, Francisco City is also included.
Regarding this matter, the Spaniards were indifferent, and Edward couldn\'t guess what Charles V was thinking.
However, King Henry II of France jumped his feet angrily, declaring his legal right 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 Francisco was unreasonable.
Edward is too lazy to fight this kind of verbal battle, and has no time to waste saliva. Anyway, Edward has always claimed that he is the king of France, whether you admit it or not.
In this regard, Henry II accelerated the pace of recruiting troops, and wanted to recapture Francisco as quickly as possible.
Due to the establishment of the Anglo-Spanish Alliance, England\'s goods were exported to Spain, which made the whole of London extraordinarily prosperous.
Clean and tidy alleys, spacious streets, rows of shops, and orderly crowds, this is London half a year after the establishment of the city government.
Crowds of all kinds walking shoulder to shoulder on the endlessly flowing streets, and some people stop from time to time, in front of the peddlers hawking along the street.
The large carriage drawn by six horses was running smoothly on the vertical rails, and the spacious space could accommodate more than ten people.
The carriage stopped slowly after a certain distance, and at a place with a plaque, the team lined up in advance couldn\'t wait to start boarding the carriage.
Among them, after paying two pennies for a well-dressed gentleman or a beautiful lady, they can build a relatively clean small workshop that can accommodate four people.
Ordinary people only need to pay a penny to sit in the ordinary workshop. There are eight seats here, and with standing people, it can accommodate sixteen people.
Take a horse-drawn carriage, and all the journeys only need to pay the money at the beginning, and there is no need to pay additionally. This is indeed a convenient and cheap means of transportation for ordinary people.
This is the railroad carriage that Edward painstakingly invented.
Thanks to the renovation of the London City Government for several months, the spacious London Street has enough space to install rails. This is the biggest trace of Edward\'s traveler!
It is said to be rails, but it is actually just wood clad iron. In this era when iron materials are used as war reserves, it is indeed a waste to spend a lot of iron to make this thing.
Of course, it can be caused by England\'s rich iron ore, and most countries don\'t have the energy to do it.
This is still Edward recalling his memory, using the remaining knowledge to remind those blacksmiths to use blast furnaces to make iron.
After the efficiency is doubled, it can be used to make things other than weapons like a local tyrant.
Regarding the changes brought about by himself, Edward often stayed in the palace, and he did not engage in private tours in micro-services, so he didn’t understand deeply enough, but for Ham, who lives in London, the changes this year were enough to surprise him From ear to ear.
Since following the dock boss to participate in the road repair and reconstruction movement organized by the London City Government last time, thanks to the good impression he made on an employee of the London Government, he no longer works as a dock worker, but goes to eat the salary of the government.
Because of Edward\'s request, the City Management Office of the City of London set up a health department, and he was honored to be an employee of the health department—a hygienist. That is, street sweepers.
His full-time job is to clean the streets and clean up the garbage in the garbage pool on time, and his jurisdiction is the four hundred-household districts around his home.
Although I am very tired, my job is very stable. I don’t depend on the weather like dock workers. When there are more ships, I earn more, and when there are fewer ships, I earn less, or even no money.
Being a hygienist is different. His monthly salary is four shillings, forty-eight pence.
The money can not only support everyone in his family, but also has a surplus every month. From time to time, he can help relatives or buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes for his children.
Holding a big broom, Ham was wearing a gray singlet. When he saw the stolen place, he went to sweep it. This was his duty.
Ham was happily thinking about whether he would have an extra meal in the evening, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Ham, Ham—" Hearing his name, Ham turned around and saw that it was the staff of the head of the Hundred Houses District——Lemire.
"Mr. Mill, what can I do for you?" Ham put down the broom in his hand, and walked over with a silly smile, with a respectful tone.
Seeing that Ham finally reacted, Lemir said amusedly: "Ham, what are you thinking? I have called you several times, but there is no response!"
Ham was stupid and didn\'t know what to say, so he could only respond with a smirk.
"Okay, I\'ll let you know. Before dinner tonight, let the person in charge of your group come to Mr. District Chief. There is something to announce!" Lemir knew that he couldn\'t ask anything, so he didn\'t wait for him, and went straight to him. Said without taking a breath.
"Understood, I will let them all go before dinner!" Ham nodded honestly, patted his chest as a promise.
"En!" Lemir nodded after hearing the assurance, and then prepared to leave. He still has several people to notify, so there is no time to waste.
"Slow down!" Ham bent over to see off the young employee.
After London is divided into 100-household districts and 1000-household districts, each district has a district chief, a tax officer, and a magistrate.
There are four people working under the head of the district, and the young man just now is one of them, so Ham treats him with great respect.
It is said that it is a hundred-household district. Some hundred-household districts have hundreds of households with a population of five or six hundred people, while others have only eighty or ninety households with a population of four to five hundred. How can four people manage it?
Therefore, the team leader came into being. The "team leader" has no establishment and no salary, and is elected by a dozen or so families. Ham is also elected as the team leader because he is a health worker and eats food from the government.
