Corresponding to the price of fox dogs, the annual income of the British middle class is 300,800 pounds. In other words, ordinary people can live a decent life by getting more than pounds per Saturday. Those with this income are usually doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and civil servants.

Like Uncle George, who is just relying on knowing words to be a typist, he can't even earn half a pound a week.

Nowadays, Carrey is mixed with three cousins ​​every day, mainly discussing the dowry of cousins, even if the Baron's daughter does not have a generous dowry, she will not want to marry out and marry a nobleman if she wants to be a good match.

As for their younger brother Brick, he has been sent to Oxford University to study. Carrey is responsible for his 500 pounds per year, including his tuition fees and miscellaneous expenses, of which the tuition fees are only more than 100 pounds. This money should be even the breakup fee and abortion fee.

Like the cousin, Winnie, who has quit her job and kicked her boyfriend, Cricket, who has been in love for many years, how can a small clerk who earns 150 pounds a year?

I haven't gotten married at the age of 25 and am also an old girl in the UK. If this dowry is insufficient, it will be really difficult to get married.

For example, Winnie herself means that the more dowry, the better, after all, it is a lifelong thing. If the dowry is less, it will not attract young talents to propose.

Zhang Cheng and Carrey also thought that the words of the cousin were just right. After Zhang Cheng read the book, the income of Bentner's family of six was just enough to spend in a 2,000 pounds.

The living standards of the cousin's future cannot be lower than this, right? If you buy the most stable UK unified government bond with an annual interest of 3%, you should be invested in a principal of 67,000 pounds. You might as well double it and buy the cousin's unified government bond of 150,000 pounds. This will give you an annual interest rate of 4,500 pounds. Thirty years later, the total price of the two Zhiyuan-class dome cruisers ordered from the UK by the Qing Dynasty was 364,000 pounds.

In addition, Carrey generously gave the cousin a silver shilling worth a total of 5,000 pounds, as well as various red sapphires and diamonds worth more than 50,000 pounds after being identified by professional gem merchants.

After getting the cousin's wife done, Carrey also assured her second cousin and cousin that their dowry will not be less than this in the future. For example, if you have a unified public debt, each person will buy 150,000 pounds first.

With a dowry worth more than 200,000 pounds, Carrey believes that cousin Winnie can marry at least one thousand families in the UK with income.

In the UK, there are 250 families with annual income of more than 30,000 pounds, with annual income of more than 10,000 pounds, and 750 families with annual income of less than 30,000 pounds.

An annual income of 10,000 pounds is a very important watershed. Although families with income of more than 10,000 pounds are not necessarily nobles or great nobles, they must also be industrialists, bankers or big businessmen.

In order to date a blind date for the cousin Winnie, Uncle George’s house’s banquet was a three-day, a small banquet for five days. Every time, hundreds of guests and friends were invited to join in the old and busy Baron George’s house. He often borrowed servants from Zhang Cheng and Carrey to complete the banquet with decent results.

The butler of Baron George's house was the son of the former old housekeeper. Before the George's house became famous, the son of the old housekeeper had to work as a teacher in the countryside. When Baron George bought his ancestral property, the son of the old housekeeper volunteered to fulfill their family's vows for generations to become the butler of the Baron.

Of course, Carrey paid for these banquets, and there was not much money anyway. Before he left, Carrey would not hand over the prepared unified bond of one million pounds to his uncle. After Carrey left, with the unified bond of one million pounds, the Baron's family would also become a British family with an annual income of more than 30,000 pounds.

Many of the guests who came here to celebrate the banquet were not for Baron George's sake, but wanted to see the legendary world's most luxurious carriage. There were many people inlaid with a few kilograms of gold foil on the carriage. However, this was the first one inlaid with diamonds and red sapphires in the carriage.

At this time, the golden carriage of the British Empire royal family was made of wood wrapped in gold foil, so the cost of 8,000 pounds of crickets was not enough.

According to the general appraisal of the gem merchant, the gems and diamonds on the diamond car created by Zhang Cheng are worth more than 300,000 pounds. This is still a relatively low valuation.

In contrast, the Dingyuan ironclad ship was only 370,000 pounds in Germany. To be honest, the price of the Germans built the Dingzhen 2 was not high because Germany had no experience in manufacturing the Ironclad ship before. The Dingzhen 2 was a test work, but the shipyard still had profits.

Otherwise, selling arms is the most profitable, and the British would have to make several times more profitable in the later period. In this way, they sold either old ships or monkey versions.

The weather was good today in Baron George's manor, and the banquet was changed to a buffet in the garden. The protagonist of this banquet was still Winnie, who was about to be 26 years old.

The cousin, Winnie, is not a national beauty, but her foundation is still OK. She has a career line that her ex-boyfriend has been kneaded and has been strengthened by European underwear. In addition, Winnie can now use various high-end cosmetics brought back by Carrey.

After applying a whole set of makeup, even an ugly girl can become a fairy, not to mention that Winnie herself has fair skin and beautiful appearance, and she is quite beautiful. In addition, the various gems and jewelry on her body shine in the sun, Winnie is naturally radiant.

The invited band was playing soothing symphony. The buffet banquet was filled with delicious food made by chefs from all over the world. It didn't exist. Looking up at the starry sky pie, chocolate eggplant is a dish that is so terrifying.

When it comes to diet, the British are worthy of being descendants of the Germans. The diet of these two countries has always been monotonous and boring. Many Chinese students in later generations suffered in these two countries.

Zhang Cheng and Carrey were not particularly used to such occasions, so it would be fine if they were once or twice. After a long time, Zhang Cheng found that there were British women who were fighting in the field at the cocktail party at this time, and there was a vacuum below. If they were fighting in the field, they found a place to lift their skirts and then did it.

Zhang Cheng and Carey took safe food to eat in the corner. Carey said while eating: "I think those people are all interested in Winnie's dowry, because the marriage between nobles values ​​this the most. However, the ex-boyfriend of the cousin should really love the cousin, because at that time the cousin had no dowry at all."

Zhang Cheng also cut the meat chop to eat: "The problem is that love cannot be eaten as a meal. Since the cousin has an annual income of several thousand pounds, he naturally has to marry into a family of this level.

Even if the cousin married his ex-boyfriend, how much does his ex-boyfriend earn? pounds per week? It is less than the minimum income of the middle-class British income of £300 per year.

If the cousin uses his own property to maintain the family’s pomp, what do men think? Can they still stand up straight at home? If a man wants to stand up straight at home, his stable annuity income should at least be twice as much as that of the cousin.”

In the UK, even Europe or the whole world, a woman’s dowry is the private finance of a woman, and a man cannot use it even if he is short of money. Even if a man goes bankrupt, his wife’s dowry is also protected by law. In the end, the dowry can only be left to his children or designated heirs.

The European couple's relationship in this era is considered good to describe it as a dream of the same bed and a different dream. Basically, women will never use their dowry to help men fill in the holes in their business.
