My British Empire

ps: Ask for tickets, please collect!

Curly Clereau and Thin Wilson, like Suwell, were of Norwich commoner origin.

However, the curly-haired Clerou's family runs a clothing store, while the skinny Wilson's family runs a perfume shop. The family members and relatives of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen and wealthy people in these two places have more contacts, so the source of information is better than the blacksmith in his family. Pave wide.

However, the common feature of the three is that they are not the eldest son, so the possibility of the three inheriting the family business is extremely low. The goals of the three are the same, and they all take lawyers as their life goals.

What's more, the people from his blacksmith's shop are all repairing hoes, helping caravan horses to hit horseshoes, and there are many trivial things in common people's homes. Besides, in that hot place, who has the mood to talk!

"Tell me the specifics! Wilson, I want to know the details!"

In a hurry, Su Weier tugged on Wilson's arm and urged the partner.

"Okay, okay, that's enough!" Wilson rolled his eyes helplessly at Su Weier, and said immediately.

"This matter has to start with the abolition of the status of the London Borough a month ago..."

"So, people in the whole of England, you and me, as well as Kelelu, can directly pass the exam and become a horse-riding and chariot-riding official!"

"Instead of needing some local prestige, a recommendation from a nobleman!"

"Hey! Souville, Kelelu, what kind of house do you think I will live in after I become an official? Marry a wife with a rich dowry?"

"Hi! Suville, Kelelu."

Wilson, who was daydreaming, called for a long time, but he didn't wait for his partner's answer, and then turned his head to look.

At this time, his two partners both showed silly smiles, daydreaming just like him.

"Hey! Well, you can do it. In three days, let's go to London together!"

After pushing the two of them and pulling them back from their fantasy, Wilson said in a cordial tone.

"Hey! Wilson, you don't have enough money, do you want to rub us!"

Su Weier and Curly-haired Klerou took a step back and said with contempt on their faces.

"Hey! What are you talking about! Do we still have to be so unreasonable about our relationship?"

Wilson showed a wounded look, and said pitifully.

"If you can catch up with us, I'll lend you some money!"

Saying that, Su Weier took Kelelu's hand and started running directly.

And Wilson was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, yelling and chasing after him.

The three of them ran for a while, separated at another intersection, and returned home.

Suwell's father was a blacksmith, so his family lived in what the Norwich people jokingly called Blacksmith Street.

Even though the sun is about to set now, walking on this street, Su Weier feels that the temperature has reached the level of noon in an instant, and the brightness is still very high, which does not hinder him from seeing the road.

"Su Weier, you're back from reading!" On the side of the road, a middle-aged man who was drinking water greeted him.

"Yes, I'm back!" Su Weier replied as he walked.

Afterwards, the voices of greeting Su Weier from both sides of the street came one after another, and the street, which was originally only the sound of iron hammering, suddenly became lively.

Su Weier responded one by one, without a trace of boredom on his face.

"Look, Suvel is so polite! No wonder the whole street likes him!"

The first strong man to greet Su Weier took a sip of water, and casually sighed to the equally strong woman beside him.

"Yes, it's a pity that his body is too thin to be a blacksmith, otherwise our daughter can marry him!"

The woman was big and thick, her palms were full of calluses, and she had a bucket waist, which was the common appearance of a blacksmith's daughter.

Such a figure not only makes the girls good at housework, but also can help when necessary, and some women are even better than men at blacksmithing.

"Yes! It's a pity, let's not talk about it, the two of us will work overtime and finish these horseshoes quickly, and we will come to pick them up tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

The man and the woman swung the hammer together and walked in again.

Su Weier didn't know that someone behind him was talking about him, and after walking for a while, he arrived at his home.

It is no different from other iron shops. There is a flag with a hammer on it outside the door. When you enter the house, you will be greeted by a wave of heat. Beside the stove, two strong men are jingling there. with.

The one with gray hair is his father Will, and the younger one is his brother Will Jr.

The two were immersed in the joy of labor and did not care about Su Weier's return.

Going around the stove, Su Weier saw the kitchen, and saw his mother washing the clothes of the father and son.

"Mother!" Suwell said loudly.

"Oh! It's Su Weier, I'm back from reading, get ready and eat!"

Su Weier's mother also had a large figure and said with a doting smile.

"Yes, I'll prepare right away!" After finishing speaking, Su Weier went back to his room, thinking about how to persuade his father to let him go to London.

In the evening, the family gathers at the table. Because the family is relatively wealthy, there is not only a grilled fish on their table, but also a pot of soup, radish, cabbage and mushrooms, which are delicious and fresh soup stewed together.

Although they all ate black bread, there were no sawdust or stones in it, and the color was not too dark.

He tore a piece of black bread in front of him into pieces and threw it into his bowl filled with soup. After the bread slowly softened, Su Weier scooped it up with a wooden spoon and sent it to his mouth.

"Father, I'm going to London, I hope you and my brother can understand me!"

When everyone was about to finish eating, Su Weier began to tell his father and brother the news he had heard.

"Suwell, go, I believe you can do it, our Smith family depends on you!"

After hearing the news, his father thought for a while with a dark face, and then said decisively.

"Yes, Su Weier, I support you to go. After passing the exam, I can show off that I have a younger brother who is an official!"

His elder brother, Will Jr., was the same as his father, with a bronzed body and strong muscles, which was inversely proportional to Su Weier's thin body. He looked extremely sturdy. No wonder those nobles like blacksmiths, they are good materials for soldiers!

Little Will treats Su Weier well, not only because he is the youngest in the family, especially because he is not a threat to the family property at all.

For Little Will's support, Old Will was very happy, but his wife's face was a little ugly.

"Su Weier, when are you leaving?" Su Weier's mother asked with concern, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be more.

"In three days, I will go with Kelerou and Wilson!"

"Haha, Su Weier, strive to become a high-ranking official, and our Smith family will also be high-ranking figures in the future!"

Old Will seemed to think of something wonderful, and couldn't help laughing anymore.

A dinner ended in such a pleasant atmosphere.

Three days later, Su Weier rented a carriage together with Kelerou and Wilson, and started the long journey.

More than 140 kilometers, about 90 miles, the three sat for three days, and finally arrived in London on March 19th.

"Three gentlemen, London is here!" The coachman was a thirty-year-old man with a very loud voice.

Hearing the sound, the three hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and shot with curious eyes.

In front of the carriage was a congested river, the Thames, which was the main artery of traffic in the city of London. Royal flat-bottomed barges, large cargo ships, and small boats of the people shuttled endlessly on the river, turning the spacious river into an artery of wealth in an instant.

Pedestrians on land must pass through London Bridge if they want to cross the Thames River, and carriages like Suwell's group are also waiting in line, and the long waiting line waits slowly and calmly.

Of course, ordinary people are waiting here, and the rich have already crossed the river by ferry.

London Bridge was built around the end of the 12th century. There are two rows of houses on the bridge supported by 20 stone arches, leaving only a narrow passage for pedestrians and vehicles.

Not far from the Thames River, Suwell saw a place called Rudmen East, on the top of a hill, stood the ancient St. Paul's Cathedral.

The three looked at the cathedral surrounded by stars, and immediately bowed their heads in prayer.

After a while, the carriage of the three slowly passed London Bridge.

The carriage finally stopped at a place, but to their surprise, this was not a carriage shop, but a place similar to an inn area.

The ground here is not only clean, but also free of rubbish, which is very different from Norwich.

What surprised them even more was that there were some people wearing uniforms on the side of the road with brooms cleaning up the garbage that fell on the ground at any time.

In this strange place, there are dozens of wooden double-storey inns. Although each inn looks like it is newly built, it is very lively with people coming and going.

This place was a place specially bought by Mayor William, and an inn area in London was built.

Although he didn't quite understand what Edward meant, he upheld the principle that what His Majesty did was right.

He reluctantly set aside 200 pounds from his tight finances, and sent people to build more than a dozen simple two-story inns, and then found some idle unemployed people, and the famous inn district in London came out.

When he was ready to lose money, who knows, people from other places began to stay in an endless stream. Soon, the supply of more than a dozen inns began to exceed the demand, and he recovered the cost within a week.

Just when he was happily preparing to build an inn, those London businessmen had already heard of this business opportunity and began to build an inn nearby, doubling the original inn's revenue.

The three of Su Weier looked at the bustling and noisy inn in front of them. The three couldn't help but looked at each other, and then they found one together and walked in.
