"My condition is that in addition to the land in the North Münster region, in the South Münster region, no matter how much land you help me get in the Ugram, before you die, that land will be temporarily handed over to you Ritberg family to cultivate and manage, and the benefits will also belong to ......you," Marin said slowly.

"Boom-" Bishop Conrad's brain seemed to explode, and the milk tea cup in his hand accidentally overturned, and the milk tea splashed all over......

It was clear that Bishop Conrad was intimidated by this super generous condition. You must know that his original intention of coming to negotiate this time was just to keep the 10,000 eugrams of arable land. After all, 10,000 yugram arable land makes a profit of up to 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins per year. However, if he helps Marin get tens of thousands of yugrams' land, then he will be able to make a super huge profit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year......

For a moment, Bishop Conrad was dumbfounded, and his saliva almost flowed......

After finally calming down, he asked in a general confirmation of the word:

"Except for the 20,000 eugrams of land in the North Münster region and the 16,000 eugrams of land allocated to those 80 knights, all the arable land I helped you fight for belongs to me?"

"It's not all yours, of course the ownership is mine. It's just that while you're alive, the proceeds are all yours! ”

Marin chose to give up such a big benefit, in fact, he was very reluctant. But he knew how hard it was to get food out of the church. Although the Pope was his father-in-law, Julius II could not have personally interceded to pressure the Bishopric of Münster to give more church lands to Marin. In that case, it would be a big blow to its prestige. And precisely, Julius II was a very face-saving person. If you want to ask him to help with this, don't think about it.

Therefore, Marin had no choice but to turn his mind on Bishop Conrad. As long as this guy is willing to be a traitor, he still has a chance to take a lot of land from the church.

Marin is not dark-hearted, 250,000 yugram church land, it's not too much to get 100,000 yugram by himself, right? After all, he is the lord of Münster. As a result, much of the land was in the hands of the church. I can't collect taxes from the church. In that case, does it mean that you should be a lord?

Bishop Conrad, as the current bishop of the Bishopric of Münster, was actually obliged to transfer some land when he transferred power. It's just that because it's the land of the church, how much you give depends on your mood......

Although, Bishop Conrad also did not have dictatorial powers, giving Marin more arable land. However, as long as he is willing to convene a meeting and propose this bill, Marin is sure that it will pass.

As for how to force the bill through? Didn't Schwartz give an example in the city of Rome? When the time comes, as long as they learn Yuan Datou's tricks and send people to surround the meeting site, the priests who disagree will not be allowed to go to the toilet or eat, and force them to pass this bill.

As for the clergy who appealed afterwards? It may be unlucky to change the princes. But Marin, as the Pope's son-in-law, will the Holy See have trouble with him? The only question is whether Bishop Conrad is willing to cooperate......

After thinking for a long time, Bishop Conrad raised his head and asked:

"It is not difficult for me to propose the transfer of more church land, but what if the representatives of other churches, especially the abbots who control the land, do not agree?"

"I'll get them to agree......" Marin smiled slyly and told Bishop Conrad about Yuan Datou's plan.

Bishop Conrad shook his head in fear:

"No, no, no, if those priests report to the Holy See afterwards, you and I will be doomed!"

"No, Bishop Conrad. I can tell you with certainty that His Majesty Julius II will certainly be on my side! In order to embolden Bishop Conrad, Marin directly revealed some background.

"His Majesty the Pope will surely be on your side? Then why didn't His Majesty the Pope personally decree that we should give you more land? "Bishop Conrad was somewhat unconvinced.

Marin didn't know how to answer, because Bishop Conrad was right. So, all he could say was:

"Impossible, His Holiness the Pope is very concerned about reputation, and would not make such a decree that openly harms the interests of the Church."

Bishop Conrad thought about it, and if Julius II dared to make such a decree publicly, he would definitely be criticized by the clergy. Because this is tantamount to openly harming the interests of the church. No pope who cherishes his reputation would make such a will.

"So, Lord Marlin, how much land do you want? Too many words, that's impossible. If more than half of them were, I would have been beaten to death by the clergy of Münster. ”

"I understand your situation, Bishop Conrad. In this case, you can get me another 80,000 yograms of land from the church, and you will give me 100,000 yograms, which is almost enough. ”

"100,000 yugrams...... Counting the 16,000 yugram farmland allocated to the 80 knights, this is 116,000 yugram land to be divided from the church...... I think that the angry priests, especially the abbots who have been deprived of their land, will not be able to resist coming up and beating me......" Bishop Conrad was a little frightened. It's a bit too big......

"It's okay, I'll leave 3,000 elite soldiers and horses stationed in Münster City to protect your safety. And every time there is a meeting, I will also send 500 fighters into the church to protect you. In this way, no one will dare to do it. ”

"Didn't you say that the South Münster region let me rule to death? What is it to send 3000 troops? Spying on me? "Bishop Conrad was a little upset.

"Don't get me wrong, these 3,000 centaurs will never interfere with your rule, but protect your safety. After all, you have been my ally from the moment you helped me plan the land. You helped me get so much land, and I was worried that the disobedient abbots would rebel. After all, they directly control the land and are very rich. ”

"Don't I still have 80 church knights to protect......"

"Oh, Bishop Conrad, the land of these knights, from more than 600 yugrams, was cut down to 200 yugrams. God knows if they will hold a grudge? If they deliberately don't try to protect you, you could lose your life. ”

"No, no, no, Lord Marlin, you must understand one thing, I live one more year, and you will take back the South Münster region a year later. If you dislike me for too long, those soldiers will become my murderers. "Bishop Conrad is not a fool, he can see the risks at a glance. It's fine if he lives too long, but if he lives too long, Marin gets impatient and might really kill himself.

"Well, you can choose to hire another team of soldiers to protect yourself. However, you also need to be careful with those 80 knights to prevent them from turning against you because of their dissatisfaction. Also, I will certainly keep 2,000 men in Münster afterwards, so that you can quickly take over the South Münster region after your death. ”

"Yes, but your barracks have to be built on the outskirts of the city, otherwise I won't worry."

"Okay, you can get busy now. Solve the problem of the 16,000 eugram land of the 80 knights first, this resistance is a little smaller. When this matter is settled, the problem of 20,000 eugrams of ecclesiastical land in North Münster will be resolved. I don't think it's ......a big deal."

"If you had just given the North Münster region to you, I think most of the monks would have been fine. Only the abbots of North Münster, who had been deprived of 20,000 eugrams, would have an opinion, but that was nothing. It's just that you want to get 80,000 eugrams of arable land in South Münster later, which is too difficult, and you can cut off a large piece of meat directly on the church in Münster......"

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will send troops to surround the venue and force the priests to agree."

"But in this case, I am afraid that you and I will be impeached by the disgruntled clergy......"

"This is on me, and I will escort them to Rome for impeachment. In the end, you and I will be fine, I swear. ”

"I'm still scared...... If you're bragging, I'm going to die......" Bishop Conrad still didn't know what to do. At the same time, I also want more benefits.

"Bishop Conrad, if you get 80,000 eugrams in the South Münster area, let your Ritberg family cultivate it. The annual income of 10,000 yugram arable land is 780,000 gold coins, and 80,000 yugram land is 500,000 or 600,000 gold coins per year...... With this money, you Rietberg family can buy territories that are more than ten times larger than your existing territory......"

Although it is tempting to face huge profits, Conrad is still afraid:

"I still don't believe that His Holiness the Pope will support you unconditionally...... If His Holiness the Pope hadn't supported you so thoroughly, I might have died without a place to bury......"

Marin was also a little depressed, but he couldn't tell Bishop Conrad that he was the Pope's son-in-law, right? So, he thought for a moment and said:

"So, I heard that your nephew John was a priest in Cologne?"

"Yes, it was the fourth son of my eldest brother, John I, Count of Rietberg, who was 18 years old. I had a nephew, Conrad, who was also sent to Cologne to become a priest, but died of illness in 1500. ”

"I may write to His Holiness the Pope and ask him to promote your nephew John to the rank of Auxiliary Bishop. So, you should believe it, right? ”

"18-year-old assistant bishop, are you kidding?" Bishop Conrad was a little surprised.

"What's this? His Majesty the Pope has the right to directly protect future generations as cardinals. Is it hard to promote your nephew to assistant bishop? ”

A cardinal is a cardinal, three levels higher than Bishop Conrad. Caesar, the illegitimate son of Alexander VI. Borgia, who was directly patronized as a cardinal by Alexander VI as a teenager. It's a pity, Caesar. Borgia did not want to be a priest and later became a layman.

Originally, Julius II intended to limit the number of cardinals under patronage after coming to power, and intended to stipulate that each pope could only patronize two descendants directly as cardinals during his tenure. However, for his own benefit, mainly for the sake of his illegitimate son with Felise, Marin persuaded Julius II to abandon the issuance of this order. Therefore, now the Pope can still shelter several people to become cardinals. The premise is that it needs to be proven that the person is related to the Pope.

Marin is not worried about this. He planned to have the Carrot Head take the surname Rovere, so that Julius II could directly protect Robert as Cardinal in the name of the children of the patron family. When the little turnip head grows up, Marin throws money at him to run for the Pope......

……

Bishop Conrad knelt down directly - Nima, the other party is so strong. As a diocesan bishop, he could not directly shelter his 18-year-old nephew as an assistant bishop. Until now, John was only a small assistant priest, that is, a priest. If Marin has the ability to ask the Pope to canonize his nephew as an adjutor bishop, it proves that the other party does have the patronage of the Pope, and it is worth the risk to cooperate with him.

At that time, his nephew John became an adjutor bishop and was eligible to run for bishopric of the episcopal state. Then, on the arable land he won for Marin in the South Münster region, he made a huge profit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. This money can not only support the Rietberg family to buy a large fief, but also support John's candidacy for bishop of an episcopal state.

Finally, Bishop Conrad, who had figured it out, raised his head and said with red eyes:

"Okay, I'm done! As soon as my nephew John's mandate arrives, I will push it forward! ”

"Okay, happy cooperation!"

Marin reached out and shook Bishop Conrad's hand. It's not two hands, it's two shovels, working together to dig the corners of the church......
