From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 479 The Old Continent

The year 1798 of the glorious calendar.

The strife in the Old World intensified.

It is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Five Kingdoms Alliance in the north. However, the alliance's navy has just ended in failure in a maritime conflict with the empire. The sinking of three second-class battleships was like a heavy hammer, which struck the leader of the alliance, Norman. In the hearts of the members of Parliament of the Kingdom of Art.

At the same time, the victory of this war also caused the empire's thirty-year industrial reform to completely fail. The great sage's decades of efforts were finally obliterated by the slogan "The Knight is Not Dead". Under the joint protest of the great nobles, the The Storm Emperor, who held the title of Knight Peak, was forced to execute the great sage with his own hands. The power that was revered as a holy realm in ancient times failed to save the friendship between their teachers and students.

As for the colonial development of the Northern New World, the two sides have returned to the same starting point. However, small and medium-sized countries such as the Desert Country and the Island Merchant Alliance are still not qualified to participate in the feast. They can only swallow the remains by allowing privateering pirates. soup.

……

Kingdom of Normandy.

Northwest Region, Port Fortress Cotton City, early morning.

Whether poor or rich, living in a city apartment or a country farmhouse, once the Normans got out of bed, they were likely to be attacked by cold air. The bedrooms of the wealthy usually had coal-burning fireplaces and iron stoves. But it is rarely lit. If guests see orange fire when visiting, it is undoubtedly a warm reception. Some critics claim that this is a "sinful luxury" and guests should even feel guilty for having a healthy body.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the bathroom after confirming his new identity and information. Reinhert, translated as silver lion, can trace his bloodline back to the Duke of Wellington in the Northern Region. All Reinherts have silver hair.

In the bathroom on the second floor, Jiang Yuan took the hot water from the kitchen from the copper basin to wash his face. The corresponding tools for the Normans were not complicated, including a toothbrush, toothbrush, cashmere towel, sewage bucket, and a bottle with plant essence. of soap.

The roads in the city are winding and rugged, and the urban planning committee under the city council even encountered violent intrusions from the public. They believed that the four gates in the western city wall were still too few, which seriously affected the transportation of goods at the port and even caused congestion.

As for the new grandfather, he was an illegitimate son. He went out to become a privateer captain during the age of navigation. He became rich by robbing and transporting spices. He returned home to purchase land and established a foundation. In the previous generation, he used donations to buy it from the city council. The status of a lifelong noble, and the so-called lifelong noble cannot be hereditary. The glory of Reinherit came to an end after the death of the contemporary baron. Now only the baron's younger brother and a pair of children are left.

"Ansel Reinhert, nineteen years old."

Next to the city gate street on the southernmost side, a traditional three-story manor building is located here. It has a square appearance, symmetrical structure, large windows and gorgeous decorative details. The pure white stone pillars at the door are quite stylish, but the truly brilliant Architects can always see the subtle distress in the stone columns and the pediment on the top of the porch. The owner of this place has traveled to the New World and used shoddy goods to greatly save material costs, but still does not forget to adhere to the mainstream aesthetic.

"Miy Reinhert is studying at the Royal Capital Classical University."

Jiang Yuan thought of his "sister" and his face looked a little strange. In this era, getting an education was a very solemn and serious matter. The Royal University of St. Andrew was jointly funded by the [Angry Moon Church] and the royal family to cultivate colonial talents and navy The main goal is to become an officer, and he also studies literature, history, law, etc. The annual tuition fee is as high as 1000 gold coins, which is even more than three or four times the normal annual income of the middle class. It also makes the Reinhert family financially stretched.

At present, Reinhert's main sources of income are two large pieces of farmland in villages and towns north of the port fortress, and an old armed merchant ship. The reason for the overall decline of the family is not because of mistakes, but because it has not kept up with the times. To be precise, it is no longer a noble. , only belongs to the country squire, earning less than two thousand gold coins a year, and the fluctuation is very high. There was a knock on the door, and the valet delivered clothes. Due to the sparse population and the concentration of property, the family members lived well. In Norman society, personal servants of the opposite sex were considered immoral. Ordinary maids even had to wait for the entire period of their employment. There will be no communication with the male owner.

"Sir, you need to complete your work at Dongyas Trading Company this morning. Your boss, the senior auditor, sent an invitation in advance to invite you to have dinner together in the evening."

The valet Sabine spoke calmly. He looked to be in his fifties, with frosty white temples, but he was very strong. As the first mate of the first Reinherit, this old man had good physical fitness and had served for more than three years. ten years.

"understood."

Jiang Yuan refused the other party's help in getting dressed. He took off his pajamas and put on a long-sleeved shirt and underpants. He tied the waist and trouser legs tightly to prevent them from slipping off. He then fixed the collar and cuffs of the shirt with studs. Wearing a printed silk vest and trousers, the whole process is a bit cumbersome. The exquisite clothes fit the body well and are expensive.

Sabine looked at it carefully for a while, then his serious face turned into admiration, and he said in a sincere tone:

"Master, I see hope in you for the revitalization of the Reinhert family, but please be careful of strange missionaries. There is an illegal organization called the Sunken Monks who often cast their malicious eyes on those with outstanding appearance. "

The two left the bedroom and headed to the study. The valet and housekeeper followed someone half a step to the left. Along the way, Jiang Yuan saw the living room maid and the furniture maid. The former was young, beautiful and energetic, and was the face when entertaining guests. , the latter is big and round, and needs to move and repair furniture frequently. Both of them have an annual salary of 50 gold coins.

"It looks like our economic situation is not optimistic."

Jiang Yuan walked into the study and changed his shoes on the carpet at the door. Between the three windows, the sound of two floor clocks was steady and powerful. After sitting on the chair, the morning mail from [Wangdu Post] was already placed on the table. The milk brought by the milkman has been heated to a moderate temperature, and there is soaked black tea next to it.

"This is necessary decency." Sabine bowed slightly.

Jiang Yuan took out last year's year-end report from the drawer according to the information. The two village areas had a large farmland area. They were originally wasteland. After development, people gathered to form villages and towns, which were similar to fiefdoms in disguise. The annual profit was 1,200 yuan. About gold coins.

The ownership of the armed merchant ship belongs to Anzel's uncle, but according to the will, he needs to give his nephew and niece two-fifths of their annual income, which was six hundred gold coins last year.

"Sister"'s tuition fee is one thousand gold coins, and the salary of six maids, gardeners, cooks, and coachmen is five hundred gold coins. The two guards stationed at the door are from the city defense army. The hiring price is high. The city hall charges two hundred gold coins a year. The smoothbore gun has a rate of fire of about ten rounds per minute, which can easily solve the blind flow of the mix.

It is worth mentioning that the power and toughness of the white gunpowder and black steel in this world are beyond ordinary levels, and the strong space hardness also limits the destructiveness of the strong.
