Chapter 2 The Western Town of Rem

When he arrived at the stable, a middle-aged groom with a simple face was already leading John's mount Locke and waiting in front of the door.

Although their residence in Rem Town is not as good as the manor of the Sensel family in Shanghai, it also covers an area of ​​nearly 1.5 mu. The federal acre system in this world is ten times larger than the acres in previous lives, which is probably equivalent to

One quarter of an acre, one federal acre is about 1,100 square meters in previous life, so their apartment is larger than many villas and even the yard.

However, unless the land is large or sparsely populated White Eagle Federation is a big city or has a low or low mine, the land is not valuable, and the valuable one is the building above.

Locke is a three-year-old young white Lucia horse. Although his shoulder height is not too high, his white hair looks very majestic.

These two Lucia horses with excellent bloodlines in the family were gifts given to Klaus when they first arrived in town. The man was close to the Heisencel family, so they were both together.

It showed goodwill as soon as it arrived.

Klaus chose a better pure black Lucian mare, which has good stability and is not as irritable as a stallion.

So Locke, who was short and just adult, became John's mount.

"Good morning, sir!"

A middle-aged man in simple clothes came over with Locke and saluted respectfully with a smile.

John nodded in response.

"You're too early, how are Chanon Fanny's health?"

"Thank you for your concern. Fanny just caught a cold. After drinking the ginger tea you mentioned, it was basically all right!"

The middle-aged man showed a look of gratitude on his face.

The morning grooming and feeding horses was completed by the hired servant Chanon. This was the local farmer they hired after they came to Rem. They were a mixed race between Sbanian and local natives. They were honest and honest and honest, and came to take care of them every morning and evening.

He just did some dirty work, and the farmer's wife was hired to be responsible for the room and clothing cleaning work.

John waved his hand and said it was no big deal. People in this world had long known the role of ginger, which was passed from the East 6 hundreds of years ago. However, since ginger is also a spice, it has not begun in the voyage.

In the era, the price of spices could be compared with gold, and only nobles could afford it, so it was not widely spread.

But for Chanon, the little bit of favor from the employer is a life-saving grace to their family.

You should know that getting sick is undoubtedly a huge burden for families like them. Even if it is delayed for a long time, it will directly drag down a family.

The medical conditions of this century John also knew that in addition to the wise doctors who served the noble royal family, most of the folk doctors were similar to butchers. Those who studied herbal medicines were better, and basically had some alchemy foundations, and often had minor illnesses.

It has effect, even if it is useless, it will not kill people.

But most doctors use specialized therapy for bloodletting. There is a headache, fever, or bloodletting, or opium, not only the top, but also the bottom. Some diseases are not cured, but probably can cure constipation.

In addition, the pastors in the church will also cure people's illnesses, but except for a few people using herbs, they basically sell a cup of holy water and then make their destiny, which is actually similar to a placebo.

Even such treatment costs a lot of medical expenses. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.

John employed Chanon and his wife to earn only twelve centas a week. Although not much, a small silver coin can buy seven or eight pounds of wheat flour, which is an excellent extra income for families like theirs.

.So he was very dedicated when serving Klaus and both of them.

As for the diet and tea that John and his two were all responsible for. There was no way, and they had to maintain a certain degree of caution in unfamiliar places, so as not to be unknowingly plotted against.

John took the reins and stroked Rock affectionately for a while, then turned over and left the gate, heading towards the security office at the commercial street at the entrance of the town.

The aristocratic education that John received since childhood was one of the most basic key points. After all, how could he be a noble knight to fight for the upper lord if he couldn't ride a horse?

At this time, John, wearing a well-built uniform, was quite as handsome as a prince charming person as a riding tall horse.

Lucia is a region of Sbania, and several states in the western and southern parts of New Greater 6 were once colonies of the Sbanian Empire. However, with the decline of the First Colonial Empire, these colonies were successively

The Brook Empire and the later independent White Eagle Federation were occupied, so Lucian horses were very common in the western part of the Federation.

And the two horses like John are famous among horses and are something that ordinary merchants cannot afford, so they are more eye-catching.

Of course, in John's memory, the largest number of White Eagle Federation is the quark horse. This horse is the two horse-type stallions introduced by the Blake colonists from the country and the mare left by the former colonists who were stocked by the indigenous peoples.

It is made of hybrid.

Although the appearance of the quark horse does not perform well, at least it looks shorter than the Lucian horse, it is developed due to its advantages such as cheap price, high reproduction rate and wide range of uses, whether it is horse racing, pastoral use or

The farming and driving are very effective.

Moreover, compared with gentlemen and ladies in the core areas of the Eastern Federation, going out is just a carriage. In the west, horses are the best tools for people in the western region to travel.

In particular, the public security office is also responsible for patrolling the towns and mines, as well as investigating cases of big and small cases. If there are no horses, wouldn’t it be a broken leg?

...

The White Eagle Federation is a republic federal state, which boasts freedom and democracy, so it is much looser within the country than the royal state, but it is more rigorous than the alliance states of the Confederate. The governments of each state have high freedom, and only during diplomacy and war

Under the jurisdiction of the federal government, each state has its own army and police, and the same is true for the cities and counties in the state, and they are not directly affiliated with each other.

Public security offices are necessary public security units for every village and town, and are the primary military department of the federal government. Moreover, public security offices are only appointed by the councils or offices of the village and town, and are not under the command of the superior cities and counties.

The security office in Rem Town was also funded by the town council. The sheriff and police officers were hired by the town. The only thing they maintained was the interests of Rem Town and were not responsible for the above cities and counties, and Klaus and John were both.

As a top-ranked person, the chief and deputy sheriff naturally had two seats in the town council.

So John understood that the two of them had actually blocked the way for some people. Therefore, he was regarded as a thorn in his side.

John also understood that the salary of the sheriff was only twelve gold pounds per month, and one gold pound could buy about one ton of refined wheat flour. According to the purchasing power level, the twelve gold pounds were probably equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in his previous life.

It is a very considerable salary for civilians, but it is not worth mentioning to some people. What they care about is the status of the sheriff.

After all, in a region, except for the mayor, judge and tax officials, the remaining sheriff is the sheriff, especially in the barbaric and dangerous western regions, the power of the sheriff is more than that of the relatively safe federal east.

Zoom in.

Furthermore, as a sheriff, like other officials, all private transactions in the town will have their commission. It is not too much for a single share, but it cannot resist winning by volume, so the monthly income is more than just.

Ten times the salary?

"You must know that the federal justice's open income is only fifty pounds in a month!"

John smacked his lips with some sigh.

"As a matter of fact, capitalist countries are full of fuel and water!"

These oil and water are the real jealous benefits. If you have the conditions and capital, you can also get into these businesses. The mud and water brought out alone is several times more than the monthly commission, almost as good as

A businessman who has just joined the medium-sized threshold is a net profit from all industries throughout the year.

"Hundreds of pounds are not a few hundred dollars, it doesn't sound like a lot, but it really belongs to the rich class of this world! You can't look at it from the money concept of the previous life. You should know that a gold pound is equivalent to a few of the Qing Empire's value.

Ten taels of treasury of silver, and the early Qing Dynasty civilians could have a surplus of silver in a year, which was considered a wealthy family, and they could roughly understand the purchasing power of hundreds of gold pounds."

John compared it in his mind that hundreds of gold pounds are enough for him to buy a small apartment in the middle-class neighborhood of Sands Port, the largest city in the west, which is equivalent to a medium-priced property in Los Angeles or Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in his previous life. The unit price is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per unit

Square meter?

"So, can't my monthly income be exchanged for a small house on the Fourth Ring Road of Yanjing? That's at least a few million..."

John included Klaus's share, after all, he had always controlled the family's economy.

Of course, he also knows that the world is different and many things cannot be universal.

However, the purpose of the Heisencel family to Klaus and him should be that.

Although he was exiled in disguise by the family, he was also a member of the family's direct line. No matter whether it was emotional or face-saving, he could not arrange it too much.

You should know that Rem Town can be said to be the top three rich places in the western region. Not only does it have a rich fixed income from mineral deposits and forest resources, but it also has some expensive specialties in nearby forest areas and mining areas. Therefore, it is behind the scenes.

It is also a key position in the smuggling chain between the east and west of the Federation. Even Heisencel, the top three in the western part of the Federation, can't help but participate in the whole Federation's top ten wealthy families. The interests are so great that they are

It is conceivable.

Before John awakened his dream in his womb, he had been tightening his strings since he officially entered the Rem Town Security Office in the past two months and worked diligently to protect his own interests and majesty. After all, compared to the shares allocated by the family.

With real estate, the sheriff's commission is the biggest reliance on his and Klaus's daily life.

More than two months have passed and I dared not relax, but I was still seized by someone and caused the accident last night.

But now that I have awakened my memories of my previous life, I feel relaxed.

Because these secular wealth and power are no longer worth mentioning in John's heart, although he has not found a way to acquire natural power, as a Xuanmen practitioner in his previous life, he had many exchange experiences and knowledge of his fellow practitioners.

I believe that it is not a problem to breeze a way in this world with truly spiritual energy and mortal power.
