Chapter 551: Opportunity
"Big deal? What the hell is going on? Field asked aloud as he looked at his neighbor, Pete, who had always been known as a good old man.
Sensitive, he realized that this news was very important to him.
"Huhuhu-" Pete gasped, staring at his red eyes, and said in a loud voice:
"Baron Runier has sent someone to occupy your field, and he has erected a monument to say that it belongs to theirs! Hurry up and check it out! ”
Listening to the brief explanation of the good old man Pete, a look of worry suddenly appeared on Field's face, it was too unusual for a baron to send someone to his own field.
So Field lifted the little guy playing with mud in front of his house, put it into the room, and shouted into the back room:
"I have to go out beforehand, you take care of your son!"
"Huh—" There was a sound of promise from inside the room.
"Come on, Pete, what the hell is going on, how can Baron Rooney pay attention to himself?"
As he walked, Field asked Pete, the good old man next to him, and he was puzzled.
"I don't know, it seems that the baron has taken a fancy to your field! After all, your land is by the river, and you grow a lot more food every year than ordinary land! ”
Pete, the good old man, pondered for a moment, and then whispered in a tone of envy, jealousy and hatred, he also wants to have such a good land, but it's a pity!
Alas, at that time, I wish I had also joined the army! What a land!
In less than ten minutes, Field came to his family's land, and sure enough, he saw such a scene:
In the vast and fertile land, a small river is flowing not far away, and the neatly divided arable land is like a chessboard, which is refreshing.
And, to the point of view, the baron's arrogant and hated butler, standing proudly in the middle of the earth, confronted by some strong, armed men, in what seemed to be a fierce conflict.
And at this time, the land by the river, the fertile land, had been nailed to all the piles by the servants of the baron's house, and the ownership of the land was taken away, even by Field's own family.
"This is our Baron's, you're just a bunch of thieves!"
In the face of this group of men with weapons in their hands, the housekeeper was not frightened at all, but held his big belly, crossed his waist, looked at these mud legs in front of him, and shouted directly and shamelessly without scruples.
It seems to prove that if you have a loud voice, you are on the side of justice.
The crowd of onlookers pointed and discussed, and there were few voices of support.
After all, he was dressed in high-end linen clothes, and his clothes were brightly dressed, as if he was the difference between a rich man and a beggar compared to the people who were robbed of land.
In terms of temperament, it is superior.
Arrogance, as well as domineering, made the people around him who had been usurped out of the land angry, but everyone had deep scruples, after all, he was a member of the baron's family.
"How ridiculous, this is the land we bought with our lives, and it was rewarded to us by His Majesty the King, when did we become barons?"
Seeing this, Field strode forward without hesitation, and with his own loud voice, loudly refuted his flawed reason.
"Captain—" "Captain, you're here! ”
Several tall and strong men who were full of indignation, when they saw Danfield coming, immediately hugged him as if they had the backbone, and they became strong in an instant.
"Well, everyone, calm down, I'll deal with it!" Field smiled comfortingly, and then strode forward, facing the domineering butler.
Together they joined the army and went to Brittany, where they managed twenty or so men as squad leaders, and Field's prestige was always high.
"My lord, the land here is all rewarded by His Majesty the King to us meritorious soldiers, and when did it belong to Baron Rooney?"
After all, Field was a man who had been a soldier, and in Brittany, he didn't know how many mud-like lords he had seen, and he didn't know how many people had robbed his family, so how could this little battle scare him.
Therefore, his voice is also extraordinarily loud.
"Humph! Fidel, don't think that if you have been a soldier, you can be presumptuous in front of me! ”
The fat butler glanced at Field, with a slight hint of vigilance in his eyes, and then scolded loudly, "I am here on behalf of Lord Baron!" ”
"I understand, but the Baron can't rob our land in broad daylight!"
Field glanced at the butler, his eyes cold, and disdainful of his scolding.
"The land here was donated to the monastery by Lord Baron, and now it has been recovered, and it is legally justified!"
The butler puffed up his chest and said confidently.
"Hehe, a few years ago, this was the property that belonged to the royal family, and then Her Majesty Mary gave it to us, what does it have to do with the baron's family?"
Field's dismissiveness for such a reason is too far-fetched.
So, the two argued, and time passed quietly.
In the end, Field did something that shocked the whole of Scotland, and indeed the United Kingdom:
He took Baron Rooneier to the royal court.
Because of the agreement signed during the conquest of Scotland many years ago, cases above ten shillings should have been reviewed by the royal court, and the nobility had no right to interfere.
And this time, the dozens of acres of fine arable land involved were worth more than ten shillings.
The Scottish Royal Court judges are thrilled by this case, which will be a landmark case that will change the current embarrassing position of the Scottish Royal Court in one fell swoop.
Although His Majesty Edward, after signing the agreement in Edinburgh, required that cases above ten shillings be reviewed by the Royal Court to strengthen the royal power.
However, those Scots, fearing the power of the aristocracy, often turned the big into the small, and the cases of tens or hundreds of pounds were blatantly turned into less than ten shillings, which made the royal court, which made money from the case, live a hard life for many years on time.
And if there is this landmark case, it will break this embarrassing situation in one fell swoop, so that the royal court will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In this way, why worry about not making money?
At this time, Edinburgh was silent.
"It's not good—" Many of the nobles' children trembled at once.
"Great!" Archon William. When Sersi heard this, he finally realized that his opportunity had come.
"Start with the law, join forces with the royal court, and first take the judicial power out of the hands of the nobility; then gradually deprived the aristocracy of its control over the villagers, abolishing serfdom; strengthening the authority of local governments; Break the aristocratic monopoly on the countryside. ”
This time, let William. Scotland, which Selsi was scratching his head about, immediately had a clear goal of governance.
Emancipate the countryside and serfs, tighten the rights of the nobility.
That's what Scotland needs at the moment.
