Chapter 321: Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow
Starting the next day, Marlin stopped using Carl. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Carl has officially entered the pension stage. With a few beautiful mares in his company, Carl is not lonely. It's just that it's a bit kidney-deficient.
Marin had nothing to say to the old man, so he specially asked Morrigan to prepare a kidney tonic feed and feed it to Carl, so that Carl would not die on the back of the mare.
And, from the next day, Marin began to take Carl's son Carter by the hand and go out for a while every day to enhance the relationship. In the era of cavalry, the cultivation of feelings between war horses and cavalry was very important. War horses that have the same heart as their owners are more likely to make movements that meet the requirements of their owners on the battlefield. And if the mind is not the same, it is fine when you are in a hurry, but once you make a move that is inconsistent with the will of the master on the battlefield, it may lead to the death of the knight.
Therefore, as a prince on horseback, although Marin is usually very busy, he still spends an hour every day to go out for a walk with a new war horse.
Of course, when he went out, Marlin did not ride a horse, but led Carter to go shopping. And beside Marin, there were dozens of muscular men wearing plate armor around. In this way, even if an assassin wanted to assassinate Marin, he would have to kill the group of muscular men first. You must know that those muscular men are all wearing plate armor, and ordinary bows and arrows can't shoot through, let alone want to hurt Marin.
At the same time, Marin had ordered a ban on guns throughout the country, and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from owning guns. Therefore, in the absence of muskets, it is a problem to hurt those muscular men, let alone hurt Marin, who is surrounded by muscular men.
Besides, there are very few outsiders in the city of Aurich. In those days, serfs did not have the freedom to leave the manor at will, unless they received an order from the owner of the manor to work on which side. Foreign merchants, who operate mainly in Emden, which is a port, do not come to Aurich. Because, Aurich's business is completely in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce under Marin's own command, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
In the absence of foreign merchants, Aurich's main outsiders were the diplomatic envoys and their entourage. However, those diplomatic envoys and their entourage were under the watchful eye of Kohler and Sauer's men, and it was difficult to make small moves.
So, in the city of Aurich, Marin is still relatively safe. The biggest threat to it is probably the remnants of the Syxner family. But Aurich has always been the stronghold of the Bullock family, and the Syxner family's stronghold is actually in Emden. Therefore, in Aurich, the probability of Marin being assassinated is extremely low. If it is replaced by Emden, the possibility is not small. That's why Marin chose Aurich as his capital.
Carter is a 4-year-old stallion who is very lively because he is not castrated. On the way, Carter saw a shop selling things on the side of the road, and if it was selling food, and the smell was too good, he also liked to stick out the big horse's head and want to taste it.
Because it is still in the stage of building mutual trust, Marin is also more indulgent to Carter. If Carter's horse mouth accidentally eats something in someone's store, the guard who is in charge of the money next to him immediately makes compensation.
Marin watched with a smile as Karl ate brown bread from a shop, the first time he had seen a horse eat bread. However, the shopkeeper was too a chicken thief, and sent his men to fan the aroma of bread into the street without stopping. Then, he brought Carter over......
Of course, Carter's favorite food is carrots. When it saw a woman carrying a load and selling carrots, its eyes immediately lit up......
Then, Marlin was dragged by Carter to chase the woman with a load of carrots......
In the city of Aurich, there are also farmers who come to the city to sell vegetables. However, those were arranged for the lords of the manors near Aurich to enter the city. And the farmsteads near Aurich are basically owned by Marin. Therefore, those manor owners are actually the stewards who work under Marin.
Moreover, it is also Marin's request to grow vegetables and sell them in the city. Because, in this way, the food basket of the citizens can be enriched. After all, the people in the city did not have land and could not eat the vegetables they grew at home, so they had to rely on the farmers of the surrounding estates to carry the burden of vegetables into the city and sell them.
Although there is also a unified vegetable market in the city, there are still serfs who are ordered to enter the city, and in order to save the management fee of the vegetable market, they choose to sell on the street. For this situation, Marin also turned a blind eye. Only when this situation is excessive, leaving the vegetable market empty, will Marin send troops to the streets to confiscate a wave.
In fact, the reason why those serfs who were ordered to go into the city to sell vegetables wanted to save on market management fees was because they wanted to be greedy. After all, the money for selling vegetables has to be handed over. And if the market management fee is saved, it will be your own.
Marin and a large group of bodyguards were dragged by War Macart to chase the peasant woman who sold carrots, and frightened the peasant woman. So, the peasant woman took the burden and hid in an alley. Carter, with Marin and a group of bodyguards, also chased in.
This alley was a dead end, and when the peasant woman saw the officers and soldiers chasing after her, she had no way to escape, so she was directly paralyzed by fright, and the carrots rolled to the ground.
Carter, on the other hand, went straight to the ground to find carrots to nibble......
Marlin has black lines all over his head, but he has just established contact with Carter, and he can't use the whip. So, with a black face, he asked the peasant woman to be paid. Unexpectedly, the peasant woman didn't dare to ask for it. After repeated excuses, he saw that the soldier was angry, so he trembled and took the money and left.
A group of people had just returned to the street when suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves in the street. Dozens of guards' faces changed drastically, and they drew their swords one after another, escorting Marin and Carter. Then everyone looked in the direction from which the sound of the horses' hooves came......
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The horse is frightened! The knight on horseback shouted in alarm.
Marin immediately looked around, trying to see if there was a little girl standing in the middle of the street who was scared silly or something. Because, according to the bloody plot, at this time, the protagonist should come forward and save the little girl bravely. Then, take the opportunity to hook up with the royal sister......
It's a pity that Marin didn't see the little girl standing in the middle of the street, and he wouldn't be the warrior who saved people. Don't you see a bunch of muscle sticks around you? Even if a little girl appears, to save someone, a command will do......
Marin's gang was too conspicuous, all dressed in plate armor and armed with swords. The knight saw that he could not be provoked, so he strangled his horse by the neck and flashed to the side. After all, the road is so wide, there is no need to bump into Marin's party with knives.
On the other side of the red deer, a farmer pushes a Chinese wheelbarrow with bags of flour on it......
Since Marin became Earl of East Friesland, a more labor-saving and larger-capacity Chinese unicycle has been promoted in East Friesland. The car, apparently, had been sent by the mill to deliver flour to the shops or residents of the city.
Seeing a horse rushing at high speed on the opposite side, the farmer pushing the wheelbarrow was directly frightened, and after being stunned for a while, he screamed, threw down the wheelbarrow, turned around and ran.
The two brackets behind the wheelbarrow landed and got stuck in the gap of the stone road......
Then the frightened horse slammed straight into the front of the wheelbarrow......
There was a loud bang, followed by the mournful cry of the horses and the frightened cries of the knights—the knight was thrown off the ground and flew forward, just as he hit the farmer who had turned around and fled. Then, the two rolled up the street......
And the war horse was even more miserable, because on the front of the wheelbarrow, a rolling pin with two pointed ends pierced deeply into the chest of the war horse......
So, the war horse neighed miserably. And the wheelbarrow that was hit was also knocked apart by the war horse. However, because the two brackets in the back were stuck in the cracks, they did not retreat.
"Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow?" Seeing this scene, Marin immediately exclaimed. A memory buried in the depths also popped up......
