Chapter 275

The ladies use the annuity they get from their dowry to maintain a luxurious life, such as holding a drink, dance, and reading party, which is more used to raise young men. Just like their men raising women outside, everyone knows it well but does not interfere with each other. Anyway, the marriage between nobles is that. In the words of Mr. Lu Xun, the wife is a gift given to me by my mother, that's all.

So even if you were born in the Victorian era and did not inherit a huge inheritance, you don’t have to be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed.

Brothers Rasputin. Any great work in the era can make a name for themselves.

At the end of the cocktail party, Winnie and her parents and sisters discussed the information about the man whom Winnie was interested in proposing marriage. In this information, she looked handsome, had zero points, had zero points in inheritance, zero points in the doctoral degree, zero points in the bank, zero points in the factory, zero points in the mine, and full points in the annuity income.

Finally, we analyze who has a high annuity income, regardless of whether he is tall, short, fat, and thin.

That’s right, opening a bank to start an industry these days is a bad way. Having a fixed annuity income is the kingly way. This is the legendary way to win a life by lying down.

Similarly, Winnie now has a dowry of 200,000 pounds, and her husband, who is quite attractive to unmarried men, has no right to use the dowry, but after getting married, the dowry is left for the descendants of the family. So even if there is a sow with a dowry of 200,000 pounds, there are still men who can make a few streets of proposals.

In this gold standard era, you are neither worried about inflation nor wealth, of course the more the better.

The most discussed by the guests of the departure was Winnie's dowry and Zhang Cheng's wealth. It is said that what Zhang Cheng wanted to inherit was a Duke's territory larger than the British Isles. It was adaptable to the climate, fertile land, dense population, rich resources, and abundant gems and diamonds. Isn't the gems and diamonds on the carriage an example?

Zhang Cheng originally thought that his era was very material, but he didn't expect that earlier eras would be more material. The newspaper listed people's income as high as 100 pounds, and the lowest 100 pounds annual salary. Those who were lower than this annual salary were basically not newspaper users, so he would not mention it. Then there was an annual salary of 150 pounds, an annual salary of 300 pounds, a yearly salary of 500 pounds, an annual salary of 1,000 pounds, and a yearly salary of 1,000 pounds, and a yearly salary of 1,000 pounds, and a yearly salary of 1,000 pounds, and how should families with annual salary of 1,000 pounds arrange their expenses and maintain a decent life of their class.

The newspaper said that the annual salary of more than 1,000 pounds is barely enough to raise a horse. The importance of horses and carriages is self-evident.

In this era, acre of land produced about one pound per year. People calculated that Zhang Cheng's annual income after owning land larger than the British Isles was simply a day.

A few people are talking about the novel foreign foods at Baron George's house, such as Roujiamo.

Zhang Cheng believes that European and American burgers are so thick, how big do you need to bite them! Obviously, Roujiamo is more suitable for ergonomics. Of course, in order to adapt to the taste of the British, Zhang Cheng's Roujiamo has also been improved, stewing pork and beef together, and then chopping the Jiamo.

During the Victorian era, the import of grains was expensive and the meat was cheap, so the general food was mainly meat. The UK also introduced alfalfa to grow cattle and sheep in some places where it was not suitable for farming. The milk production was very large.

Carey asked Uncle George for their house in the East Side, hired workers for training, and opened the first Roujiamo shop in the East Side.

The Roujiamo shop here uses a fast food method. The Roujiamo that has been made has been kept warm in the oven with a temperature of more than 60 degrees or less than 80 degrees. Customers pay to take out the Roujiamo and put it in a paper bag and take it away.

A Roujiamo is only sold for one penny, and in this era, a pound of beef is 24 pence, which is basically not very profitable. Fortunately, you don’t have to consider rent. The workers’ fees are also cheap. In addition to eating Roujiamo for three free meals, each worker also has a salary of 12 pence per day. In addition, one’s own people can buy ten Roujiamo at half price.

At such a low price, there are people in the East District who can't afford it. The daily wage of non-skilled workers is only 46 pence. He also wants to find a place to sleep, which is not prohibited by the streets and parks. Many renters living in the East District will rent out the right to sleep day and night floors of the house for a second time, earning some subsidized rent, and the lowest price is one pence per night.

The church also does some charity, but there are still many people who can take care of every day. If you can't catch up, you have to sleep on the floor. If you can't sleep, you can still do a good job the next day. If you are fired, you can still feel good. So it's not surprising that Jack the Ripper has been released at all, and it's rare that you can't come out of this era.

As for the rich people who go out, they always bring a few or even dozens of servants and even dogs. Jack the Ripper only dares to commit crimes in the East District and understands that this guy is not a human weapon that can fight against hundreds of people.

As for the unemployed population, it cannot be said that there are not, but very few. Every time the British Army starts the war, they have to go to various places to catch unemployed men and soldiers. It is hard to imagine that Napoleon was defeated by such a British army.

Britain has been fighting in America, Europe, Africa and Asia for many years, and there are fewer unemployed vagrants in this local area.

Carrey knew that it would take until the Golden Standard era disappeared that the chain of Roujiamo stores would become a difficult industry for its own and George's family. If Roujiamo is ready, what is McCans?

"Is it less than seven shillings a week? Only one pound in three weeks."

Zhang Cheng: "Your uncle used to be the shillings for a week, but he would have three meals here. He would have to raise his salary a year later. Besides, if the cost is too high, he would have no profit. The most important thing about business is to have profits, otherwise it would have become charity. If you can't make money by relying on one store alone, there will be thousands of chain stores in the future."

Carrey looked at the next week's report: "Pure wheat flour is too expensive, so it's true that corn flour and potato flour should be added to reduce costs."

This is not Carrie's bad intentions, but the 21st century, and everyone does this.

The marriage of the cousin Winnie was also agreed to be a forty-seven-year-old lord who had lost his puppet. For this era, this lord had lived above the average age.

The Lord was fond of the dowry of Wynny's cousin, and the Lord and Uncle George's family were fond of the Lord's annuity income of 15,000 pounds per year, including the land's annuity income, and the landlords of this era could earn one pound per acre of land per year.

More importantly, if this Lord does not count the illegitimate children, he will have no children. If Winnie gave birth to an heir to the Lord, their children will inherit the property of both parents and become a richer second generation of nobles in the future. If the Lord without children dies in front of Winnie, Winnie will become a richer widow with an annual income of nearly 20,000 pounds, and it will be easier to find a next family.

However, wealthy widows in Britain rarely remarry, and being widows is not a novice face that cannot be nurtured. Why bother to put a trap on yourself?
