Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

Tang Feiliu hugged his small suitcase, and sat in a luxurious European-style carriage. Outside, the snow-white horse was galloping. Occasionally, the driver would lightly flick his whip, and the horse would quicken its pace.

The outside is a beautiful European rural scenery, but the people farming outside are all wearing medieval and shabby robes, and the women are wearing old European simple skirts, which looks like a reproduction of the rural scenery in oil paintings.

Tang Feiliu was very disturbed, he was going to meet a very difficult adult.

More than a year ago, he was an ordinary modern person, doing ordinary office clerical work and living hard.Although the orientation is different from ordinary people, although compared with ordinary men, he prefers to do housework, do handicrafts, love food, and of course play games, drink some wine, and watch football. ...But generally speaking, Tang Feiliu is still a very ordinary young man who loves life.

But he wore it so suddenly, Tang Feiliu couldn't accept it at first, but unfortunately after living for a while, he had to accept the fact that he was already a human being in another world.Fortunately, the consolation is that there is still a naughty but cute younger sister who hates dogs and hates dogs. At any rate, Tang Feiliu saved two children who fell into the water before wearing it, and finally he will not be wronged for the rest of his life.

Tang Feiliu wore it on the youngest son of a squire, and felt the ruthless, cruel and unreasonable troubles of the European Middle Ages. As his own son, when the squire died, he gave all his property to his elder brother, leaving only five pounds to his youngest son. An Jiafei, and then his elder brother, actually kicked him out of the house without giving him a penny.

What the fuck is, his elder brother is doing this in full compliance with the law.

Tang Feiliu no longer wants to recall the terrible days when he came to this world for the first time and found himself tired and hungry, without a dime in his pocket, unable to find a job, hungry and cold and unable to pay the rent of two shillings a month .

Embracing his precious little suitcase, Tang Feiliu remembered that he had just arrived in this world—the original owner of this body, the youngest son of a squire, was a sentimental and weak young man. He was only 15 years old and had already lost his family. He should have been smart enough to take away the gifts his father gave him in the past years and the meager pocket money he had accumulated over the years, and then find a job, although he is no longer a A classy person, but at least he lives better than ordinary farmers.

But this young man was too sad. He took a few small suitcases and left home in a daze. Then he went to the city to try to find a job, but his character was too naive to experience real suffering. The white bread he enjoyed at home in the past , grilled lamb chops, fresh and white sea fish and caviar, peaches as sweet and fragrant as a girl's skin... are all very expensive. Let your wealth become less and less until you are penniless.

When the young master left the world because of poverty and fever, Tang Feiliu, a lonely soul from another world, opened his eyes.Then, Tang Feiliu could only face this strange world alone. Fortunately, he inherited the young master's memory. Although he felt cheated seeing only a few bites of white bread left, Tang Feiliu was different from the young master anyway. , he is an adult, although he is not omnipotent, but Tang Feiliu has always been good at taking care of himself and his friends. Although he is not so good in the modern society with advanced industry, but in this era of nothing, what he knows Those interesting handicrafts and life knowledge are very precious.

Fortunately, Tang Feiliu inherited the memory of the young master. He knew that the place he came to was a strange world. Everything in the Lot Empire was very similar to Europe around the Middle Ages, even the currency was similar, but this place was more like Europe than Europe. , seems to be a little more brutal and brutal.

There are still serfs and free people here, nobles have their own territories, and gentlemen have their own manors. There were gentlemen’s schools in the West in the seventeenth century, which is equivalent to the predecessor of modern schools, but there are only private tutors here. They only serve the nobles they are loyal to. Literacy is something that only people with good backgrounds can do. Doctors also appear, but because doctors have only mastered the extensive methods of bloodletting and starving their stomachs, most of them only make people pray to God. Surgery is just a dissection, and almost no one survives. The priest is because he has to learn from an early age, and the priest in this time and space has to serve the Lord for life and cannot get married, so it is not the best choice.

The law is due to the division and rule of the great nobles. The laws of each noble's territory are determined by the master. In the territory, the will of the nobles is above everything else, so the profession of lawyers is far from being developed.

The development of industry has begun to accelerate, but it is far from the point of revolution. The maritime trade has developed very vigorously. The nobles are very rich, but the people at the bottom live very hard.

Therefore, the choices left for people who can't stand up or down are not as good or as many as the situation in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Tang Feiliu, the former young master Lance, although he came from a wealthy family and learned a lot from tutors, but he, the second son of a manor owner who has no inheritance rights and is not so wealthy, generally has little choice. It is a good way out to become a personal servant of the owner of the manor, and then promoted to a housekeeper. It is also very safe to find a newly wealthy family and become a tutor. However, if you are really not good enough, you can manage the accounts of a businessman, open your own small workshop after a few years... as long as you are willing to put your face down, compared with a rich farmer who can only earn four or five pounds a year at most, the start will definitely not be low. At seven or eight pounds.

It's just that Lance was born weak, both physically and psychologically. His mother died when he was born, his father and brother didn't care about him at all, and the family doctor and teacher who cared about him couldn't stop it.

Tang Feiliu turned into Lance, and found that Lance was probably born prematurely, so his body immunity and other abilities are inferior to ordinary people. Lance is very thin, and in his memory, he likes reading and playing the piano the most. Usually in the manor, he can do it. Always stay out of the gate and never step out of the second door, which is more expensive than the ladies of ancient times.

Well, the two people are very similar only in that they like to stay at home.

Tang Feiliu thought happily.

When he came to this world, the first difficulty was lack of money. After all, the high fever had passed and took away the real Lance's life. However, Tang Feiliu survived and needed food, shelter and money.

Tang Feiliu opened his eyes and rested for a day, then began to try to work as a bookkeeper in a small workshop, with seven shillings a month, and after paying the rent, there are still five shillings a month, which sounds like It's very pitiful, but in fact, to ordinary people, this is not a small amount of money. Five shillings are equal to a quarter of a pound, and one shilling is equal to twelve pennies. It is sixpence, which is only half a shilling. In this age of worshiping God, noble birds that can fly cost only half a shilling, and pork and mutton are even cheaper.

The house that Lance rented at that time was not good, but it wasn't bad either. Although the young master never woke up from the life of a gentleman until the end of his short life, he was ignorant, but he knew that he didn't look for that kind of person. One pound a month.

Therefore, Tang Feiliu didn't want to change the place. Although this place is only a single room, and it is half an hour's walk away from the small workshop where Tang Feiliu works, at least the single room for rent is not in a slum, but in a normal community. At least where the citizens live.

Tang Feiliu stabilized like this, and started to improve everything about himself.

Thanks to Tang Feiliu, the average man would be able to handle work well if he came here, but his life might not be so smooth.Tang Feiliu was not the case. The bookkeeper's work was not too challenging for him. Although the living conditions were simple for him, everything he knew could make him gradually comfortable.

When he shamelessly begged for a job as a bookkeeper, and worked hard, and improved many bookkeeping methods. After being reused, Tang Feiliu's job stabilized. At the same time, Tang Feiliu could no longer bear the living environment. The first thing is to sell a few sets of clothes that Lance carried with him-by the way, it would be great if the little Lance was the child of an old nobleman. According to Lance’s memory, the clothes worn by the nobles of the Lot Empire at this time are still It’s not a three-piece woolen coat, but young gentlemen are trying to wear tuxedos. The old aristocrats still wear gem-embellished cloaks and silk shirts embroidered with gold and silver threads... In short, how gorgeous and luxurious it is , the embellishment on a piece of clothing can even make ordinary people happy for a lifetime.

But having said that, the clothes that little Lance brought when he came out were actually quite valuable. When one shilling can only buy one meter of cotton cloth, the clothes that Lance brought out were not popular among young people except now. The tuxedos and woolen coats that came into fashion, and the silk shirts and embroidered coats and cloaks for parties—how ignorant the boy was to think that when he lost his father, he could enter the world of high society again. day.

Even the wigs were pawned. To be honest, Tang Feiliu could appreciate suits and tuxedos, but wigs, leggings, leather shoes, colorful embroidered shirts and capes... Tang Feiliu refused in his heart.

He only kept a set of clothes on his body. After Tang Feiliu pawned these things, he exchanged them for the twenty pounds he was holding.Now Tang Feiliu's health is too bad, and the environment he lives in is not so comfortable. Although the Lot Empire is different from many places in Europe at the same time, there is one place that is the same, that is, it is dirty and messy.

First of all, the living place. Although the appearance looks decent, the quilt has not been cleaned after moving in. The bed is opened, and the straw underneath is used as a mattress. There are already bugs and eggs, and there are cleanliness Tang Feiliu almost threw up.

The inside of the room is the same, it looks okay, but the corners are full of dust, York is always rainy, Tang Feiliu probably is the reason why the young master can't light the fireplace, it's not because there is no fireplace in this room, so the wardrobe is already moldy , There was a foul smell in the room, living in such a moldy room, not to mention the frail Lance, even if Tang Feiliu's own healthy body passed through, he would probably get sick soon.

Tang Feiliu held his nose and cleaned up. First he bought cloth and needlework, and then he came back and sewed the sheets with difficulty——Lance bought a whole set of bedding at that time, and the sheets were left behind. Lance bought the cotton cloth and the cotton-sewn quilt The most valuable thing was ten shillings, or half a pound, for a quilt. Of course, Tang Feiliu would not throw it away. He planned to wash all the things Lance bought, and then he would have two sets Change and wash.

Although the Lot Empire has started to grow cotton, weaving is still the oldest machine. This has led to the fact that although cotton cloth is cheap, it is not yet cheap.

I am afraid that this situation will not be improved until a craftsman invents a new type of textile machine.

Taking the money, Tang Feiliu threw away the old straw and replaced it with new, dry straw. He put on a newly made mattress, cleaned the whole room, and threw out the moldy wardrobe, washed it clean and exposed it to the sun. On a sunny day, I insisted on opening the windows to ventilate every day. I also bought an iron basin and opened the windows to burn charcoal. I insisted on keeping the room as dry as possible. I finally made the house like a pigsty look brand new. At least when I came home at night, after taking a shower, I lay on the bed and finally felt comfortable. up.

Then when he was on vacation, Tang Feiliu wanted to buy soap to wash the original set of bedding for later use, but he found out in despair—soap and the like could not be found on the street!

This city called York is said to be a very prosperous city in the Duchy. Of course, there are all kinds of shops, but there is no such thing as soap in any place that sells groceries.

After inquiring for a long time, Tang Feiliu understood one thing - the people of the Lot Empire did not take a bath, and everyone washed their clothes with clean water. They said that God's people are pious, and not taking a bath is a way of expressing piousness .

Only then did Tang Feiliu suddenly understand why this city smelled so bad, and thinking of the bread he ate these days, and the fact that those who made the bread didn't take a bath or wash their hands, he felt nauseous again.

God, why did you let me come into this world?Tang Feiliu struggled to take a bath at night, his blond hair was soaking wet by the charcoal basin, and he looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling very desolate in his heart—although it is really good to have a chance to live again, can't he be allowed to live in modern times? !

The moon in the sky is big and round, really like salted duck eggs that are soaked in oil.

So this night, Tang Feiliu dreamed that he cut up five salted duck eggs to serve with porridge, and he finally found a brief peace of mind.

The author has something to say:

Note: Although the general background is basically drawn from medieval Europe, the economic development is more like the 78s. The social form is still in a semi-feudal and semi-slavery society. Navigation and industrial development have sprouted, and the entire society is in a transition period.
