In fact, the Papal Decree was accompanied by a licensing decree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This permission decree was that Julius II approved Marin's request to fix the tithes at 90 pounds per acre (equivalent to 15 pounds per acre) in the areas controlled by Marin, such as East Friesland.

At the same time, Julius II agreed to Marin's proposal to temporarily divide the Bishopric of Münster between the north and the south, and the southern Münster region was titheed according to the old standard until the death of Bishop Conrad and Marin took over the southern Münster region. In the North Münster region, starting with next fall's harvest, the levy will begin at a fixed rate of 90 pounds per acre.

In fact, the average acreage of land, levied according to this standard, is very disadvantageous. Because, more than half of the arable land in Europe does not meet the standard of 150 pounds per acre.

However, Julius II, who had lived in the Eastern Frisian kingdom for a long time, knew that Marin had mastered the mysterious technology of fertilizer, which could increase the production of grain several times. And most of his son-in-law's large amount of money also came from this. Even, it can be said that his position as the pope was also smashed by his son-in-law.

Marin demanded a fixed rate of tithes, and Julius II was well aware that this was an attempt to circumvent real tithes and legally evade taxes. However, as his father-in-law, he must help. And, outwardly, Marlin is not badly done, giving a high standard of 90 pounds per acre. Even if the secret of Marin's agricultural output doubling is discovered one day, it will be nothing, at most, I don't know that Marin has mastered new agricultural technology. As for the fixed tax rate, it is a reward for Marin's merits, and if it is given, it will not be canceled. Otherwise, it would seem that the Holy See is not believing in its words......

With the Pope's decree of permission, Marin was relieved. Because, in the future, you can legally evade taxes, and no one can say that you are not.

……

As for the abbots who went to Rome to complain, Julius II directly took the method of the staff who came to visit him in later generations - he persuaded them with good words, but he did not accept the appeal......

In the end, Julius II even acted as a mediator, convincing the abbots not to fall out with their superiors with the face of a "kind old uncle next door......

The abbots who complained were fooled by the "amiable" Julius II, and before they understood what was going on, they were sent to the carriage back to Germany. It was only after getting into the carriage that they came to their senses - this time Rome was coming......

Then, they also realized that the Pope was supporting Bishop Conrad, and the efforts of himself and others were pointless......

What they didn't expect, however, was that after they went to Rome, Bishop Conrad had already laid a ruthless hand on their monastic lands. The abbots who went to Rome complained that the land of the monastery where they were located was divided by Bishop Conrad with most of the arable land, leaving only a small amount of land that was only enough for the teachers of the monastery to eat and drink Lazar. In the future, the teachers of these monasteries will have a hard time and will not be as chic as before......

In London, England, many of the employees of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce branch were spies sent by Marin. In the name of doing business, they relied on a Frisian language, which was very close to English, and it was easy for them to blend in with the British people and find out all kinds of news.

Because the war against Ireland was to be waged, and now the whole of England was mobilized. Every day, the counties would send horse-drawn wagons to bring all kinds of supplies into the city of London and hand them over to the royal family for the use of the army.

The staff of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce silently watched the actions of the British on the streets of London, and at the same time, secretly wrote everything down and wrote it down in the report......

On this day, Kane and Robbie, employees of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, were sitting at a table outside the door of a London pub drinking low-quality beer. Suddenly, there was a tremor in the earth. Kane and Robbie looked up and saw a four-wheeled carriage come into view. The two of them suddenly had big mouths:

"God, what is this?" Kane was stupefied.

As for Robbie on the side, he was no better, and when he saw the carriage, he was so frightened that his beer glass almost fell to the ground.

"What the hell is this monster? How so...... Huge? ”

At this moment, a local British merchant at the next wine table burst out laughing;

"Haha, boy, look stupid, right? It's not a monster, it's our Lincolnshire specialty, England Malaysia! ”

"England Malaysia? It's big enough...... It's 2 meters tall at the shoulders...... "Kane muttered.

Because Marin was promoting the new type of weights and measures in East Friesland, Kane and Robbie, as employees and spies of the cultured North Sea Chamber of Commerce, were also aware of the new weights and measures, and often used them.

“meter？” Apparently, rice is a new word, which the British have not yet heard. So, the British merchant from Lincolnshire didn't understand what a 2-meter was.

Kane reacted quickly, explaining:

"That's 6.56 feet."

"Oh, sooner, sooner by human standards, I wouldn't have been incomprehensible...... said the Lincolnshire Englishman with a big grin.

"By the way, what's the origin of this England Malaysia? Why is it so huge? If the knights ride up, won't they die of majesty? Kane pretended to be a novice and began to talk.

However, what he said was really in line with his thoughts. In Kane's opinion, such a majestic and majestic horse must have a high load capacity. It must have been easy to carry a knight in a suit of plate armor. If East Friesland were brought in, then Marin would definitely reward him and Robbie.

"Haha, boy, you haven't seen it, have you?"

Kane was stunned for a moment—wasn't what he said right? Such a large and strong horse is perfect for carrying knights. He could see just now that the English horse was pulling a huge four-wheeled carriage full of goods. Normally, it takes two horses to pull it.

"Boy, if you invite me to a drink, I'll tell you the reason why this kind of horse is not suitable to be a knight's war horse." The British merchant said proudly.

Kane and Robbie were eager to know more about this giant horse, and naturally they would not skimp. So, the two invited the Lincolnshire merchant to a large glass of draft beer that had not yet tasted good.

After a glass of draft beer, the British businessman from Lincolnshire said:

"This kind of horse, although it is huge, is also very powerful. However, because of the large physique, the whole horse appeared a little clumsy. So, don't look at this kind of horse with big size and strength, but when it runs, it is not fast. And the knight's war horse, in addition to requiring strength, also needs to be very fast. Charge, naturally, pay attention to speed. This kind of horse has strength and lacks speed, so it is not suitable for war horses. However, it is definitely a good hand when used to pull a cart! Therefore, this kind of horse is the best horse, but it is not very suitable for being a war horse! ”

"So, do this kind of horses generally have this kind of height?" Robbie asked cautiously.

"Of course, in our Lincolnshire family, there are many horses of this height."

……

Although they knew that this kind of horse was not suitable for war horses, Kane and Robbie still wrote the information about this heavy horse in the report and sent it back to East Friesland. Then, caught in British intelligence, it was sent to the city of Münster.

Marin did not leave during this time, but continued to stay in the city of Münster with a large army, supervising the division and transfer of land. However, he also kept an eye on the war situation on the British side and read the information sent by the English side every day. It just so happened that on this day he saw the report of Kane and Robbie......

"In England, the height of the shoulder is generally about 2 meters...... I'll go, isn't this Sharma? Marin suddenly remembered that this was the famous Sharma in later generations.

At one time, Marin also planned to introduce the Shire Horse to pull the heavy artillery. However, because he was busy with other things, he forgot about it. It just so happened that Kane and Robbie's information arrived, and he remembered that he really needed to bring in this kind of heavy horse to transport heavy artillery.

There is no other advantage of this kind of horse, the Sharma is that it has great strength. According to later generations, this horse could pull 5 tons of beer on a single horse. Of course, that was on the highway of the Hereafter. If it is on a dirt road with high resistance, it can only pull two or three tons of goods.

But it doesn't matter, the heavy artillery in the Marin army, even if it is a heavy naval gun, is only two tons, and it is very suitable to use the Shire horse to pull the heavy artillery.

Marin immediately issued an order - Kane and Robbie should make every effort to buy the strong and tall stallions and mares of the uncastrated England horses and introduce them to East Friesland for breeding and breeding. In addition, Kane and Robbie, for discovering the merits of this good horse, were each rewarded with 500 gold coins......
