Chapter 510 I see (seeking a monthly ticket)

"My fields, my wheat seedlings..."

John was like a walking corpse, his eyes filled with pain, and he headed towards a steam train station.

The family originally signed a long-term contract with the noble Viscount Cincilis, rented a piece of land under the name of the master to cultivate, and handed over 50% of the harvest every year, and lived a pretty good life.

Starting from his grandfather's generation, one farm tool and one farm tool can be accumulated. By the time of his father's generation, there were three small houses that were not strong but were windproof enough to protect the cold, and some livestock were raised.

Originally, he thought that such a life would last forever.

As the eldest son in the family, he will be given most of his property. If his younger brothers don’t go out to find food on their own, they must work hard for themselves in exchange for some food.

And he might be able to marry a farmer's daughter who is not very good-looking but strong enough after a few years of accumulation, give birth to a few children, and pass on her bloodline.

Although it is hard, as long as the life can continue, the farmer will never leave the land he loves!

But starting years ago, everything was different!

A mechanical revolution, starting from the royal capital Carleston, suddenly swept the whole country!

At the beginning, there was an increase in prices of various textiles, and then a market with insufficient supply.

All kinds of textile factory owners are desperately organizing workers' work, but they are still unable to meet market demand. They have to work hard to improve their technology and develop various machinery that can promote textile progress.

Then, as the Church of Travelers said, the great gods gave gifts.

The holy, majestic He inspired an inventor and brought the steam engine to the stage of history.

Various steam equipment has been invented one after another, greatly improving the efficiency of the factory and the desire for wool is almost endless.

The land nobles were tempted by huge interests and changed jobs to factory owners or ranchers, tore up agreements, and drove out the tenant farmers who rented their own land to farm out of their homes.

Not only that, they even promoted various bills, blatantly enclosing land, even encroaching on the fields of self-cultivated farmers, gathering all the fertile fields together, and encircling them with fences to serve as pastures for lambs!

It was under such a background that the John family was driven out of the land that had been cultivated for generations and was homeless for a while.

But the kingdom does not allow people to wander around and become homeless people.

It issued strict laws, stipulating that homeless people would be whipped when they were caught for the first time, their ears were cut off for the second time, their demotion was demoted to slaves, and their execution was directed for the third time!

In order to live, a large number of farmers had to accept meager salaries and go to various factories to work.

But that working conditions...

According to John's father who was ill due to overwork, it was even more tiring than any farm work, and it was accompanied by huge risks!

Many people have their fingers cut off by the gears, or are directly burned to death by the high temperature steam leaked from the pipes. They are beyond recognition before death, and even the priests who go to perform requiem rituals will be scared!

John's parents, with their younger brothers and sisters, applied for the job and became workers in a new factory in the local area.

And he definitely doesn't want to do this!

He didn't like the cold equipment of the local factory, the tall chimneys, and the pipes that discharged a lot of sewage into the river, which would make his life a darker color.

Just add one sentence, it’s really good, it’s worth pretending. After all, you can cache reading and read offline!

Therefore, John decided to take a little travel fee and leave the sad place of his hometown and go to big cities, such as the royal capital and the Phoenix City Carleston to make a living!

I heard that gold is everywhere! There are countless opportunities!

At this time, he washed his only linen shirt, put it on his body, looked at a building not far away, and secretly cheered himself up.

"come on!"

"Jorhan! Be confident, no one will know that you are the son of a farmer. Go to the ticket office and buy a steam train ticket to Carleston. It's that simple..."

...

"I said... do you want to buy a ticket?"

Just then, a voice next to him suddenly opened, shocking John: "You...who are you?"

He saw that there was one more person around him.

The other party had blonde curly hair, eyes like a blue sea, sunny smile, and neat and fair teeth. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, and looked energetic and energetic.

For some reason, John was a little inferior.

The other party is the one who can tell at a glance that he is born in the society, and no matter how he disguises himself, his temperament will still be exposed.

"Hello, my name is Li Wei!"

Zhong Shenxiu naturally used his former Western name: "I am a traveler. Do you think you are going to buy tickets? Where do you want to go?"

The language here is called the "Secret Word" and is said to be a gift from the gods, but Zhong Shenxiu learned it in the memory of the headless Count.

The pronunciation difference is not large. After a little adjustment, I have a pure local accent.

‘Traveler? Doesn’t he have to abide by the ‘Wandering Administration Act’? Perhaps he is a descendant of a noble master…’

John became even more inferior, and he replied in a low voice: "My name is John, I want to go to Carleston!"

"Phoenix City? It's just right... I'm going there too, why not buy tickets together?" Zhong Shenxiu smiled and sent an invitation.

After arriving in this country, he realized that the Kingdom of Clement was a little different from what he imagined.

The steam revolution seems to have begun.

However, when he thought of those evil gods who could cross countless worlds, he didn't feel strange at all, but rather was right.

After all, as long as they want, it is not impossible to create a wasteland world of the post-science fiction era.

According to the information found, since the new god ascended the throne, this kind of change has been going on bit by bit.

John thought the change had happened for several years, but he didn't know that it might have been brewing for decades and had accumulated enough power!

"Together?"

John grabbed his collar and his eyes lit up.

yes!

I am a local bun, but the gentleman on the other side is obviously not.

If he traveled with him, who would have guessed that he was a homeless man?

The other party's temperament and etiquette were enough to deceive the ticket seller and the flight attendant. No, he was not a liar at all!

"OK!"

John couldn't wait to agree: "Sir, I have a request. Can you buy my tickets for me...I...I can't read."

“No problem.”

Little did he know that he was also Zhong Shenxiu's cover.

After all, it is really dangerous to fly directly to Carleston from the sky. It is better to take the train and study along the road.

He smiled and took a handful of metal coins of various styles, without any strangeness on his face: "By the way... I'll ask, what do you want to do in Carleston?"

"Look for... find a job!" John answered stutteringly.

"oh!"

Zhong Shenxiu shook her head secretly, her eyes showing a little pity.

A farmer who has no culture, no knowledge, and no skills, goes to a big city and is probably at most he can only enter factories!
