"That's because you're a brute, you're a devil. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info In the future, when you die, your soul will fall into the great volcano of Sicily. ”

"Wrong, that's because your eyes can only see the first hundred years and the next hundred years, but I have been favored by the gods and can understand a little bit about the three hundred years before and after." Gorwin pointed to his pale blue eyes and modestly said, "You are afraid all day long that you will not be saved, but you have no idea what true salvation means - and I dare to think and do, I am not afraid to fall anywhere!" You may wonder if I can control Thrace, where the traditional power is most solid. Then I'll show you my wrist. ”

Although Darasena was trembling, she was still relatively calm, "What wrist can you have?" The trumpet of rebellion has sounded on the holy mountain of Athos, and the light of the Lord to punish the devil has appeared on the peaks, and soon all Macedonia, Serbia, Moria, Bolgar, and Dalmatia will besiege you more and more, and in the future you and Anna's children will be slaughtered by others...... It's pathetic. ”

As a result, Gawain directly showed her a document, and Daracena turned pale when she saw it, as if she had been slapped hard, "What? Both Germaninus and Maupoulos accepted your appointment and title. ”

"Yes, both of them enjoy the rank of mentor, the former being the head of the Imperial Capital Law School, and the latter being the head of the Imperial Capital School of Rhetoric. Their children and grandchildren were all selected into the palace attendant corps of the Grand Palace, and after a few years, they were able to serve as the 'Captain of the Hundreds', the 'Assistant to the County Magistrate', the 'Senior Judge of the Special District', and even the 'County Magistrate' step by step. If anyone dares to threaten my family, then they will defend it to the death. ”

"You have distributed the land that belonged to the Imperial Property Division to the lowly farmers, and they will soon be rich and ready to move. Once they have the power, they will continue to threaten you to return to the Orthodox faith. ”

After listening to her very carefully, Gawain replied calmly, "It is true that I have given the peasants land. If the land is divided, they will not be grateful for a few years, which is determined by the cold nature of the peasants. But I will soon reform the tax law, that is, by doubling, tripling, or even tenfold the value of the land through the work of the peasants, but they will not be able to get rich and expand, because my tax law will make their income from the holy land permanent, the barren land will be perpetual, and the fertile land will be perpetuated by the amount of the benefit—if a farmer cultivates for ten years and grows an orchard on a piece of land that is worth only twenty tasso, the value of which is doubled to a hundred tasso, his income will only be forty taso, The remaining forty all went into my treasury under the name of 'value-added tax'. In this way, the land will not be merged into large areas, but it will also encourage farmers and landlords to innovate new technologies to improve the poor land, and at the same time maintain the original fertile land and achieve balance. ”

"VAT ......" even though Darasena is a strong woman, cannot understand the meaning of the term.

Originally, I thought that this blue-eyed barbarian's knowledge was just the edification of Anna, but now it seems that he is underestimating him?

"That's right, VAT. Soon we will promote this tax in workshops and goods, and I will also establish other new taxes. I will use these taxes to support the officials, soldiers, and fleet, and I will also invest heavily in the construction of academies and new churches, and I will continue to innovate technology. My wish is to make all my people happy, but it is the happiness of hard work, and not to make them too comfortable and happy—farmers have to farm, merchants have to sail, and officials have to be evaluated to support themselves. When they reach the limit of their land investment, they will naturally invest in new categories, such as workshops, commerce, and colonial cities. And the enemies you mentioned, I will defeat them one by one, or destroy them, or vassalize them, and from then on, Constantinople, the empress of ten thousand cities, will no longer suck the blood of the empire, but will suck the blood of the vassal, so that she will always maintain her beautiful youth, this is my sacrifice to her, I will not hesitate to retreat. ”

"The Devil...... The devil's practice. Daracena began to speak incoherently, frightened in front of this strange barbarian usurper who fought unreasonably, knowing that most of her original henchmen had been bought off by Gawain, and that Komnenos had ruled the empire for only twenty years before being replaced.

"In short, I will learn from Emperor Komnenos's good policies, and I will inherit Emperor Komnenos's great dreams. The unfinished business of the Komnenos will be left to me and my descendants to complete. And Dear Lady Daracena, Helistopher, Helena, and Flormondis are your grandchildren and granddaughters, so pour your dreams into them. With that, Gawain bowed deeply to Daracena politely, and then turned away from the door and walked down the steps.

Daracena sighed, then stared at Gawain's back with tears streaming down her face, and looked up at the mosaics that had been shattered by the sound of the cannons, not knowing what to say......

The next day, Gawain and Anna sat side by side on the throne of the inner room in the shape of the dome of the palace, under which were five curved steps, and the upper walls of the inner room were royal blue serial icons, flanked by marble columns and many confidential officials, servants and subordinates, among which there stood about a hundred people in the front of the hall, all of whom had been sent to various great hospitals in the West by the Brotherhood of the Brocade to manage the fields, and now this group of people was driven back by Aragon, Île-de-France, Tuscany, Sicily, Naples and other places. The property that had been given to the Great Hospital was confiscated by the local feudal lords or the Church (although Aquitaine, Poitiers, and Burgundy maintained a cautious attitude) - Gawain became more antagonistic with some Western countries, and the Tuscan Pope declared that "the Great Seleucian Hospital is the source of sin, and has since revoked its right to continue to be held." Pope Anselm of Bari immediately organized a group of clergy to criticize the Tuscan pope, and the two sides were in a war of words, issuing pamphlets such as "Seven Commentaries on the Greek Goats of the City of Bari" and "Eight Commentaries on the Canosa Dogs".

"It's better for you to come back." Anna held the golden orb and the cross, and comforted them like a mother, "Now that Thrace and other places are lacking talents who can manage the land and implement the county, and you have been trained to be the best among them, I will immediately grant you the rank of nobleman in service, and do a good job in the empire." ”

"Yes, my mistress." All the expelled members of the Brotherhood bowed and thanked Anna for her kindness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the assembly of the believers in Adrianople will soon be held, and your Barcelus will preside over as high priest. And at this juncture, what insulting letters did the Western Patriarch send to us? Anna's eyes suddenly turned red, and her expression was full of indignation and humiliation.
