Chapter: 10

This is not an extravagant hope. Even a lecturer during the internship period at Tingen University can earn 2 gold pounds a week. After becoming a regular, it is 3 gold pounds and 10 soli. You know, Klein's brother Benson has been working for many years, and his weekly salary is 2 gold pounds. It is only 1 pound 10 soli, and the average worker in the factory is even less than 1 pound or just a little over, and the rent of such a single-family house ranges from 19 soli to 1 pound 18 soli.

"This is the difference between a monthly income of three or four thousand and a monthly income of 14,500..." Zhou Mingrui muttered to himself.

However, the premise of all this is to pass the interview at Tingen University or Backlund University.

As for other channels, people with no background cannot be recommended to become public officials, and the scope of employment for those who study history is even narrower. There are not many private consultants for nobles, bankers, and industrial tycoons.

Considering that Klein's knowledge has also become "fragments", incomplete and incomplete, Zhou Mingrui's expectations for Mrs. Slin are full of embarrassment and guilt.

"No, I've always been this young." Wendy replied humorously.

While speaking, she put the weighed sixteen loaves of rye bread into Zhou Mingrui's large dark brown paper bag, spread her right hand and said, "9 pence."

Each loaf of rye bread weighs around half a pound, and deviations are inevitable.

"9p, didn't it cost 11p two days ago?" Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.

Last month it cost 15p even more.


"You have to thank the abolition of the "Corn Law" and those who marched." Wendy spread her hands and smiled.

Zhou Mingrui nodded half-understood. Klein's memory of this was somewhat incomplete. He only remembered that the core of the "Corn Act" was to protect the price of domestic agricultural products. Grain grains in Masik, Lemburg and other countries.

Why are people marching against it?

Without saying much, Zhou Mingrui was afraid of bringing out the revolver, so he could only carefully take out the banknotes, took out one of them, and handed it to Mrs. Sling.

After finding three copper pennies and stuffing them into his trouser pocket, he took the paper bag of bread and headed for the "Lettuce and Meat" market across the street, working hard for the lamb stew with tender peas that his sister had ordered.

There is a municipal square at the intersection of Iron Cross Street and Daffodil Street. At this time, many tents have been set up, and clowns in weird and funny costumes are distributing leaflets everywhere.

"Tomorrow night, the circus performance?" Zhou Mingrui glanced at the flyer in someone else's hand, and whispered the general content.

Melissa must like it very much. I don't know how to charge the tickets? With a flash of thought, Zhou Mingrui moved closer.

He was about to ask one of the red and yellow clowns when a hoarse female voice suddenly came from beside him: "Do you want to divination?"

Turning his head subconsciously, Zhou Mingrui saw a woman wearing a pointed hat and a long black skirt standing in front of a low tent.

Her face was painted with red and yellow oil paint, and her eyes were dark gray and blue.

"No." Zhou Mingrui shook his head and replied, he didn't have the spare money to do divination.

The woman smiled and said, "My Tarot divination is very accurate."

"Tarot..." Zhou Mingrui froze for a moment.

This pronunciation is very similar to the Tarot cards on Earth!

The tarot cards of the earth belong to a kind of fortune-telling poker, but there are more "graphic cards" with symbols.

Wait... He suddenly remembered the origin of Tarot divination in this world.

It did not originate from the seven orthodox gods, nor was it left over from ancient times, but was invented by Russell Gustav, who was then the governor of the Republic of Intis, more than 170 years ago.

This Mister Roselle invented the steam engine, improved sailing ships, overthrew the rule of the Kingdom of Intis, and was recognized by the Church of the "God of Craftsmen" as the first consul of the New Republic.

Later, he fought in the north and south, brought Lunburg and other countries into protection, and made the kingdom of Loen, Fenepot, Feysac Empire and other northern continent powers bow their heads one after another, and then changed the republic into an empire again, calling himself "King Caesar" .
