While Grandet was talking to Watt about the sale of steam engines by the warm hearth, in Petticoat Lane, Little Oliver was following Fagin to warm some residents of Petticoat Lane.

This sending warmth is truly sending warmth. After the arrival of the cold wave a week ago, an uninvited guest who was ruthless and invisible to the naked eye, the doctor called him "pneumonia", tiptoed in the petticoat alley, touching with his cold fingers here and there. This bad guy walked around blatantly, every time he broke into a yard, there would always be a dozen or even dozens of unlucky people who became his victims.

For the poor people in Petticoat Lane, they fell ill at this time, and almost stepped into the ghost gate with one foot. Since three days ago, every morning, there will be frozen corpses, dragged out of the dark huts on both sides of Petticoat Alley, and thrown on a hard carriage, one or two... until The carriage was full. Then the trembling coachman shook his whip, and the horse in the carriage spewed white mist from the nostrils, and the hoof with the nailed hoof hit **** the frozen ground like pig iron. As the carriage moved slowly, the lack of lubricated axles made a low and intermittent rubbing sound, just like a worker’s mother-in-law, who was awake in the middle of the night from freezing, remembering that tomorrow, she didn’t know what could be used to stuff her husband And the child's belly, and then sighed.

This situation makes Fei Jin very worried. He doesn’t have much to do with pneumonia. This is indeed far beyond his ability. Now he can only count on relying on pure natural methods to let everyone rely on One's own resistance and God's blessing survived this disaster, and then formed resistance, and then, after the elderly and children were basically dead, probably... herd immunity could be formed.

This also shows that the boss Fei Jin has outstanding talents and insights, enough to serve as the prime minister of a corrupt country a few centuries later, just being a gang leader in a small gang is really a bit wrong.

However, Fei Jin still has to work hard to help the neighbours solve some problems. He felt that the main problem with the pneumonia being so serious was that the room in Petticoat Lane was too cold.

Among the wealthy people, their homes have thick walls, double-glazed windows, and a fireplace that does not go out 24 hours a day. On the bed of the rich, there are several layers of thick mattresses and mattresses, so thick that if you put a pea under the mattress, except for some people who are really sick of the princess, it will definitely not feel. from. Not to mention that there are silk fabrics on these mattresses, which are stuffed with light and soft duck down quilts.

In this way, unless the outside is cold enough to have carbon dioxide snow like in "Age of Ice and Vapor", they will always be as warm as in the spring at home.

In Petticoat Lane, the walls of the houses there are generally just a piece of wood. There is no glass on the windows. They can only be blocked with broken wood. There are also doors, which are so big that you can put a fist in. . Naturally, such a house with ventilated all sides cannot keep warm. Compared with the outside, there is almost no difference in temperature except for the slightly lower wind.

The people who live here naturally don't have thick mattresses and mattresses. Their mattresses are the waste newspapers, rags, and all kinds of hay that they picked up from the outside, and even dried leaves and sawdust. As for the quilt, it was a thick piece of cloth full of holes, stuffed with something like a mattress.

Boss Fei Jin felt that the pneumonia in Petticoat Lane was so serious, largely because it was too cold here. So he must find a way to increase the temperature here at night.

The recent economic situation has improved, which is also reflected in the labor income of Fei Jin's subordinates. The number of pickpockets' successes has not increased, but the money they successfully collect from a gentleman has increased significantly each time.

And not long ago, he succeeded in cooperating with a kid who wanted to get more money from his miserly father to go to the bar and found a girl to kidnap. With the wholehearted cooperation and help of the "victims", they got a full three thousand pounds from an old gentleman. (There are still three thousand pounds taken by the "victim") In addition, his developed friend, who is now a Frenchman, sponsored another thousand francs. This year, Fei Jin's pockets bulged like never before.

This makes this year, when Fei Jin is sending warmth, he has been more generous. In the past, he could only provide a small piece of cloth to every family in Petticoat Lane, but this year, he has been able to give every family here a real blanket.

These blankets are second-hand junk, which Feijin's friends bought from various junk markets. Compared to buying a brand new blanket, these items are more cost-effective. If Joseph was there, they might be advised to put these second-hand blankets in a big pot and boil vigorously.

However, in this era, although bacteria have been discovered, the relationship between bacteria and disease has not been proven. People don’t know that certain bacteria can cause disease, and they don’t know how to eliminate bacteria, so , Naturally nobody cares about this matter.

Oliver followed Fagin and sent them the blankets one by one. Every family was grateful to the righteous Fagin boss, and even Oliver felt proud. But boss Fagin didn't have much smile on his face. In other words, he still smiled when facing the residents of Petticoat Alley, but as soon as he walked out of their house, the smile on Feijin's face was immediately blown away by the cold outside.

That night, the boss Feijin recruited the most important members of the gang. Then I told them something that surprised them all.

"Irontooth, butcher, and cuckoo, you all sit here with me. This time I call you here, because I have one thing to tell you. You know, Jager Goreng has returned, and he has become France. The second secretary of the embassy. He came to me several times and donated some money to us."

"I know. When we were children, we all heard you tell the story of "Ghost Seeing Sorrow". He is really a good man who talks about loyalty. Now that we are developed, we have not forgotten."

"Buck, Jager Goleng came back and talked with me several times. He felt that our approach was wrong." Fei Jin said.

"What did we do wrong?" Tiefang froze, "Could it be that he is now developed and his **** is sitting there?"

Fei Jin shook his head and said, "That's not true. Jager Goren has always been our brother. It's just that he has been in France for so many years, and he saw things different from us and his mind became bigger. He felt like We can't solve any problems if we are doing little things like this."

"Then what does he want to do? Does he still want to be a fee?"

"If he wants to be Fagin, I really feel relieved to give him this position. If he had to flee to France for that matter, this position would have been his. But I just said, Ya Brother Ge Goreng had a lot of vision. Did you know that he participated in the French Revolution, and when Louis XVI was pushed to the guillotine, he cheered beside him."

"My God! He actually saw a king's head fall with his own eyes!"

"He was also involved in this matter. He participated in the uprising against the Bastille. He followed Saint Just, who sentenced the king to death, the archangel of the revolution, as the French said. He served as Saint Rus on the battlefield. The messenger of Stout, inquired about Jacobin in Paris. He personally sent many aristocratic lords to the guillotine-now you know what I mean by saying he has a big heart."

"God, he didn't want to get such a guy on our side, right?" Buck said.

"He hopes that we can unite the poor in the entire slum area and fight for more rights-not just to strike for higher wages, but to unite and fight for political rights. We must give this The country, the world sets new rules."

Speaking of this, Fagin paused for a while, and then said: "You know, this is a head-off thing."

"Which of us hasn't done a head-off thing?" Buck said.

"It's different." Fei Jin shook his head~lightnovelpub.net~ I thought for a long time, I think, although I can trust Jager Goreng, although I think what he said is reasonable, but I must Take a trip to France and see for yourself the place after the revolution. Then come back and discuss with you before you can make a decision. "

"Boss, you're leaving for a while? Then who will take care of us?" Tieya said quickly.

"Jager Goreng also agreed with me to go to France to see and walk around. He also suggested that I go to the Toulon training camp in France to study. Well, Russell in Ireland is said to have studied there. I have a big business. Maybe I will go to Paris first, then Toulon, and then...maybe I will go to Ireland to see, and then come back."

"Then Boss Fagin, how long do you have to go?" Buck said hurriedly.

"At least half a year, maybe longer, but no more than a year at most." Fei Jin said.

Then he looked at everyone again, and then said: "After I left, the butcher temporarily took my place. Butcher, you can discuss with Tieya if you have something. In addition, if you really have trouble, you can go to Jager Gao Leng, you can completely trust him. He is still our brother. I will probably leave next month. During this time, you can take care of the gang affairs first, and I can also take the opportunity to give you pointers."
