"En!" Edward listened roughly for a while, and found that England's benefits were not bad, and he was quite satisfied. "Your Excellency, let's sign this treaty!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, follow your instructions!" Hearing what the king said, Sir John nodded his approval with joy on his face.

"Go and see the situation in the royal family's territory! Report to me when you come back!" Edward waved his hand and said lazily.

Seeing His Majesty the King like this, Sir John took a look, and then stepped back softly, leaving His Majesty the lazy alone.

Half reclining in his chair, Edward pondered the consequences of the alliance with Spain, and how long it would last.

Thinking about it, Edward decided that he could let France and Spain play a wave while England was recuperating, and they could not be allowed to rest.

"En! Let's do it!" Edward said with affirmation after rubbing his nose with bright eyes.

The next day, Edward held a small ceremony. In the name of the King of France, he conferred the title of Princess Mary as Earl of Francisco, whose territory is the city of Francisco.

According to the marriage between the two countries, one month later, that is, on August 10, Princess Mary will marry Spain. As a dowry, the city of Francisco is also included.

Regarding this matter, the Spaniards were indifferent, and Edward couldn't figure out what Charles V was up to.

However, King Henry II of France jumped his feet angrily, declaring his legal right to the French throne, and that the Tudor royal family had no right to inherit the French throne, so Edward's canonization of the city of Francisco was unreasonable.

For this kind of verbal battle, Edward is too lazy to fight, and has no time to waste saliva. Anyway, Edward has always claimed that he is the king of France, whether you admit it or not.

In this regard, Henry II accelerated the pace of recruiting troops, and wanted to recapture Francisco as quickly as possible.

Due to the establishment of the Anglo-Spanish Alliance, England's goods were exported to Spain in large quantities, which made the whole of London extraordinarily prosperous.

Clean and tidy alleys, spacious streets, rows of shops, and orderly crowds, this is London half a year after the establishment of the city government.

Crowds of all kinds walked shoulder-to-shoulder on the endlessly flowing streets, and some people stopped from time to time, in front of the peddlers hawking along the street.

The large carriage drawn by six horses was running smoothly on the erected rails, and the spacious space could accommodate more than ten people.

The carriage stopped slowly after a certain distance, and at a place with a plaque, the queue that had been lined up in advance couldn't wait to get on the carriage.

Among them, after paying two pennies for a well-dressed gentleman or a beautiful lady, they can build a relatively clean small workshop that can accommodate four people.

However, ordinary people only need to pay a penny to sit in the ordinary workshop. There are eight seats here, and including standing people, it can accommodate sixteen people.

Sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, you only need to pay for all the journeys at the beginning, and there is no need to pay additionally. This is indeed a convenient and cheap means of transportation for ordinary people.

This is the railroad carriage that Edward painstakingly invented.

Thanks to the several months of renovation by the London City Government, the spacious London Street has enough space to install rails. This is the biggest trace of Edward's traveler!

It is said to be rails, but it is actually just wood-clad iron. In this era when iron materials are used as war reserves, it is indeed a waste to spend a lot of iron to build this thing.

Of course, it is also possible to cause it because England is rich in iron ore, and most countries don't have the energy to do it.

This is when Edward recalled his memory and used the remaining knowledge to remind those blacksmiths to use blast furnaces to make iron.

After the efficiency is doubled, it can be used to make things other than weapons like a local tyrant.

Regarding the changes brought about by himself, Edward often stayed in the palace, and he did not conduct any private tours in micro-services, so he did not understand deeply enough, but for Ham, who lives in London, the changes in this year were enough to surprise him From ear to ear.

Since the last time he followed the dock boss to participate in the road repair and reconstruction campaign organized by the London City Government, thanks to the good impression he made on a staff member of the London Government, he no longer worked as a dock worker, but went to eat the salary of the government.

Due to Edward's request, the City Management Office of the City of London set up a health department, and he was honored to be an employee of the health department - a hygienist. That is, street sweepers.

His full-time job is to clean the streets and clean up the garbage in the garbage pool on time, and his jurisdiction is the four hundred-household districts around his home.

Although it is very tiring, the job is very stable. It is not like dock workers who depend on the sky for their livelihood. When there are more ships, they earn more, and when there are fewer ships, they earn less, or even no money.

It is different when he is a hygienist. His monthly salary is four shillings, forty-eight pence.

This money can not only feed all the family members, but also has a monthly surplus, which can be used to help relatives from time to time, or buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes for the children.

Holding a big broom, Ham wore a gray singlet, and when he saw the stolen place, he went to sweep it, which was his duty.

When Ham was happily thinking about whether he would have an extra meal in the evening, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Ham, Ham——" Hearing his name, Ham turned around and saw that it was the staff of the head of the Hundred Houses District——Lemir.

"Mr. Mill, what can I do for you?" Ham put down the broom in his hand, walked over with a silly smile, and spoke respectfully.

Seeing that Ham finally came to his senses, Lemir said amusedly, "Ham, what are you thinking? I have called you several times, but there is no response!"

Ham's mouth was dumb, he didn't know what to say, he could only respond with a smirk.

"Okay, I'll let you know. Before dinner tonight, let the person in charge of your group's family come to Mr. District Chief. There is something to announce!" Lemir knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't wait for him, and went straight to him. Said without taking a breath.

"Understood, I will let them all go before dinner!" Ham nodded honestly, patted his chest to assure.

"En!" Lemir nodded after hearing the assurance, and then prepared to leave. He still had several people to inform him, so there was no time to waste.

"Go slowly!" Ham bowed and bid farewell to the young employee.

After London was divided into 100-household districts and 1000-household districts, each district had a mayor, a tax collector, and a magistrate.

There are four people working under the head of the district, and the young man just now is one of them, so Ham treats him with great respect.

It is said that it is a hundred-household district. Some hundred-household districts have hundreds of households with a population of five or six hundred people, while others have only eighty or ninety households with a population of four to five hundred. How can four people manage a district!

Therefore, the team leader came into being. The "team leader" has no establishment and no salary, and is elected by a dozen families. Ham is also elected as the team leader because he is a health worker and eats from the government.
