Into Unscientific

Chapter 238 After the deceased

"."

In the dean's office.

Looking at the number 144071.34 on the paper in front of him, Xu Yun felt bad all over.

140,000 pounds ah!

If he remembers correctly.

In "Around the World in 80 Days" released in 1872, the protagonists spent only £20,000 traveling around the world.

According to the spending method that the protagonists made all the way, the purchasing power of 20,000 pounds is basically the same as the purchasing power of several million Huaxia coins in later generations.

There is also a plot in Sherlock Holmes' "The Case of Identity".

At that time Holmes said a word:

"I think a single lady can live pretty well on £60 a year."

The female client opposite said:

"Even if it's a lot less than £60, I can live well."

Therefore, based on the above two books, it is estimated that one pound fluctuates around 1,000 RMB.

Of course.

What Xu Yun didn't know was.

Later generations actually have a website called Measuringworth, which can query the relative value conversion of British currency from 1270 to the present. (Just find calculators/ukcompare after entering the website)

Displayed according to website data.

1860.

The value of 1 pound is roughly equivalent to 84.71 pounds in 2022, equivalent to about 716 yuan in Chinese currency today.

Also worth mentioning.

The purchasing power of the British pound increased between 1860 and 1900. By 1900, 1 British pound was equivalent to about 840 yuan in today's Chinese currency.

Now this dungeon is affected by Mavericks' completion of the second transformation, and the industrial productivity is higher than that of the local 1850.

Therefore, if converted

about a pound

Around 750 yuan?

144071.34X750 is

108 million!

Xu Yun:

"."

I co-authored Lao Tzu to go to Cambridge University without eating or sleeping, so I owe a small goal?

play it!

Besides, the ghost knows if that weird halo will be an Easter egg, and when I return to reality, the debt will also be transferred, so the fun will be great

Xu Yun dared to bet.

Building a table with a halo can give you the integrity of a Jiaran photoshoot, it will definitely do that kind of operation!

so.

Absolutely cannot bear this debt!

Think here.

Xu Yun couldn't help being silent for a moment, and his mind began to spin rapidly.

Different from later generations.

The storage fee in the 19th century did have an overdraft rule, that is, after deducting the principal, it can continue to be deducted from the negative number.

For example, the Bank of England, established in 1694, once pursued a custody fee related to the Fitzpatrick family:

In 1713, Fitzpatrick's patriarch, Lamar Fitzpatrick, kept a chest of jewels at the Bank of England.

Later, Lamar Fitzpatrick was killed in the war with Spain, and the whole family went into exile in France. It was not until 1798 that a new Fitzpatrick patriarch succeeded him.

At that time, the Bank of England sued the new Fitzpatrick patriarch to the British court, and finally ruled that the Fitzpatrick family should pay a total of 264 pounds for the custody fee after deducting the jewelry.

This incident was also recorded in the archives of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, ranking sixth in the archives of the 18th century on its official website.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the price of storage fees for keeping property claims is not too high.

For example, the City Bank of New York, the predecessor of Citibank, established in 1812, in addition to the deposit fee for luxury goods, the custody fee for funds is only one-thousandth of a year.

However, the Mavericks' 8/10,000 daily storage fee was personally agreed by 'Fat Fish' in the reply letter, so it couldn't be settled with the regular storage fee.

Therefore, no loopholes can be found in the regulations, so there is only one angle that can be refuted.

creditor!

Then Xu Yun took a deep breath, put on a sincere expression, and said to William Whewell:

"Mr. Whewell, although this debt meets the requirements at the legal level, you can pay as much as you want."

"But... what about creditors?"

"Mr. Whewell, this is a debt dispute between my ancestors and Sir Newton. It seems that Cambridge University is not qualified to collect it?"

When Xu Yun said these words, his lower abdomen was slightly retracted, his breath sank to his dantian, and he tried his best to make his tone appear forceful.

On the way to Cambridge University, he briefly asked Xiaomai about Maverick's emotional experience in this timeline.

Wheat told him at that time.

Although the calves of this world are married, they leave no heirs.

However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Xu Yun did not inquire too deeply about the specific details, and only knew the general situation.

After all, his character is set to be a descendant of Fat Yu, so it is impossible not to know whether Maverick has any descendants.

But the inside story is the inside story. For Xu Yun at the moment, it is enough to know that Mavericks has no offspring.

The calf has no offspring, so the bond relationship is automatically invalidated.

As for the possibility of Mavericks donating their debts.

joke.

With his money-hungry personality, how could he donate his debts?

Therefore, Xu Yun is very confident that this debt cannot be carried on his shoulders!

However, what made him a little puzzled was.

Just when he thought that William Whewell was going to have a wave of oral sex with him through other reasons. Ahem, tongue-to-mouth confrontation.

On the face of the dean of Trinity College, a hint of approval appeared unexpectedly, and he affirmed:

"Yes, Trinity School and even Cambridge University are not creditors, and indeed they cannot interfere with this debt, but..."

The words are not finished.

Werner's voice suddenly came from outside the house:

"Mr. Whewell, I brought classmate Avelyn."

William Whewell was taken aback when he saw this, he cast a meaningful look at Xu Yun, and said to the outside of the room:

"Thank you for your hard work, student Weiner, please invite her in."

After a while.

The door was pushed open, and a girl walked in.

The girl is about 1.6 meters tall, with thick long golden hair that is slightly curly.

The blue eyes are like a translucent sapphire, the skin is as white as jade, and the whole body is full of girlish innocence and youthful demeanor.

At this time, she was holding a copy of "Classical Mechanics" in her hand. After seeing William Whewell, she bowed slightly and said:

"Mr. Whewell, good afternoon."

William Whewell nodded to her, motioned for her to come to his side, and introduced to Xu Yun and others:

"This is Avelyn, a classmate of Peter College. She is currently a first-year postgraduate student, and she is also the Minister of Student Affairs at Cambridge University."

"This time your dormitory matters are arranged by her."

Then William Whewell whispered a few more words to Aveline:

"Student Avelyn, this is almost the case. You can arrange Maxwell and Luo Feng into the same dormitory later."

Avelyn lowered her eyes, and her expression did not show much emotional fluctuation:

"No problem, there is still a studio vacant in the postgraduate dormitory behind the chapel, so I will arrange them there?"

There are two main categories of dormitories at Cambridge University, one is Catered and the other is Self-catering.

Among them, Catered is a single room, which will provide two meals in the morning and evening, and it is also the first choice of the wealthy second generation.

Self-catering is divided into three levels:

Studio with its own bathroom and kitchen.

En-suite with its own bathroom and communal kitchen.

As well as the standard of public toilets and public kitchens.

Staff are responsible for cleaning, taking out garbage, and changing sheets and quilt covers.

Useless knowledge adds another .JPG.

Avelyn provided the highest-standard studio dormitory, and Xu Yun could be regarded as enjoying benefits with Mai Mai.

But at the same time, Xu Yun also had doubts in his heart:

Why is Aveline, a freshman, able to have such great power?

Even though Cambridge University supports student self-government, Avelyn's qualifications should not be enough.

This is much more than Thomson's power.

Could it be

This is a royal descendant?

Just as Xu Yun was thinking, William Whewell spoke again:

"Student Luo Feng, didn't you just say that you need to find a bondholder for your debt?"

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously said:

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, William Whewell suddenly had a strange smile on his face, pointed at Avelyn and said:

"Now there is."

Xu Yun: ".?"

William Whewell ignored him, but whispered to Aveline.

soon.

A hint of surprise gradually appeared on Avelyn's somewhat indifferent face, and she glanced at Xu Yun from time to time.

After a while.

William Whewell coughed lightly and said to Xu Yun:

"Student Luo Feng, let me formally introduce you again."

"The full name of this classmate Avelyn is Avelyn Escue, and she is also the only descendant who has a blood relationship with Sir Newton."

"Evelyn Escue?"

Hearing this name, Xu Yun stood on the spot in a daze.

Then in his mind, the appearance of Mr. William's family appeared subconsciously.

Ascu.

How long has it been since I heard this surname?

There are at least two hundred chapters, right?

Didn't expect that in this world, I would unexpectedly meet them?

On the way to Cambridge, Xu Yun actually thought about the people who might interact with him in this era.

Among them are Stokes, Darwin and even the couple in London.

It is no exaggeration to say that he even imagined the scene of talking and laughing with Queen Victoria.

But he didn't expect

He would actually meet the descendants of the Escue family.

However, William Whewell didn't know Xu Yun's mind was turbulent at this time. Seeing that Xu Yun seemed to be in a daze, he added:

"Aveline's ancestor is Sir Newton's uncle William Escue. He became a wealthy farmer after making a fortune from tomato sauce, which improved the family's poor life."

"However, many things can be changed in more than a hundred years. Escu suffered an accident at the end of the last century, and the tribe suffered a lot of casualties."

"In recent years, the number of people has withered, so there are only a few existing clansmen."

"The branch of Avelyn's classmate is regarded as a collateral branch of the Escue family, and it is the descendant of Lilani Escue, the youngest daughter of William Escue."

Before William Whewell finished speaking, Xu Yun suddenly stood up and asked him:

"Mr. Whewell, what did you say?"

William Whewell was stunned by Xu Yun's actions for a few seconds, but he soon regained his composure:

"I said that the ancestor of Aveline's classmate is William Escu, and he is relying on tomatoes"

"I'm asking about the last sentence!"

"The last sentence?"

William Whewell's expression became more and more confused, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him:

"You mean Lilani Escue?"

Xu Yun nodded heavily.

William Whewell scratched his hair lightly, and was just about to speak, but Avelyn on the side spoke first:

"The Lilani ancestors received a good education after William Escue made his fortune, and married a classmate after college."

"However, their descendants retained the Escue surname, and the Lilani ancestor died at the age of 78."

Speaking of which, Avelyn seemed to think of something again, and her tone paused slightly:

"However, according to family records, Lilani's ancestor was in a downturn for a long time, but after Sir Newton received Mr. Fat Fish's reply, he became more cheerful - it is said that before that, she was already saving money to prepare for a long journey .”

"It seems to have something to do with Mr. Fat Fish."

Xu Yun was silent for a long time upon hearing this.

for a while.

As soon as he relaxed his body, he felt relieved.
