Chapter 7 Nothing is Ready

If the world could give Count Don another chance to choose, Count Don felt that he would rather be a beggar in the twenty-first century...... Well, to be an ordinary person, I don't want to run to this dark and cold Middle Ages to be a miserable earl. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 21st century, no matter how good he is, he still has meat with enough spices to eat, colorful and comfortable clothes to wear, he can also watch TV, surf the Internet, and play games, instead of nesting in this castle that looks cold and damp but is actually cold and damp, eating only salted meat every day, wearing linen clothes that fade when washed, and living a miserable life without entertainment every day except eating and sleeping!

Even if he made up his mind to change the status quo, he found that there was no way to do it!

There is no iron, no paper, no industry, no enthusiasm of the peasants, even if they have more than a thousand years of knowledge in their heads, even if they want to show their skills, they don't know where to start!

A huge county, more than 1,000 square kilometers, 50,000 or 60,000 people, the blacksmith only has two or three kittens, and he can only beat nails, can you believe it?!

Count Don Jr. doesn't even know where the armor of his knights comes from!

Well, considering that a set of armor is worth twenty-two cows, it is estimated that it was inherited.

Count Don Jr. was silent!

But Count Don has awakened again!

He had to wake up, even if he wanted to be a little lower, the cruel reality would slap Count Tang's face hard, first the left cheek and then the right cheek, and then the left cheek after the right cheek, until he woke him up - no way, watching the scene of feces flying everywhere every day, eating half-cooked pork chops with blood and no seasoning, and then wiping his ass with leaves, you can't help it even if you don't want to wake up!

"Even if there is no food, even if the ditch is not dug, at least I will let these knights and servants no longer in front of me but in the toilet!"

At that time, Count Don Jr. thought so.

But even this work is a long way to go.

Just like the modern third brother, strong women are culture, laziness is tradition, motorcycle stacking Arhats is spirit, and the whole country is the quintessence of urinating everywhere, do you understand? ! Do you understand the quintessence of the country?! Do you understand?!

If you don't understand, don't talk.

For a medieval European commoner who has no awareness of hygiene, does not know immunization and epidemic prevention at all, and only takes three baths in his life, your requirements are too high, and the concubine can't do it!

Fortunately, Count Xiao Tang has already made second-hand preparations, and if the light doesn't work, I'll come to the dark, and I'll correct it for you sooner or later.

As for this dark one, it is to turn to the power of the church.

The belief in religion of the medieval people, the peasants alone, is simply beyond the belief of our people today. Now we call the Middle Ages the Dark Ages, but for religion, it was a unique, God-given Age of Glory.

To give just a simple example, a medieval peasant had to pay a tax to his religion, and what taxes did he pay, the most basic of which were the firstfruits, tithes, and Peter's silver coin tax; In addition, there is the Eucharist tax (bread tax), the blood tax (wine tax), and if there is something important that year, such as the Crusades, the Crusades are sold. If the bishop of a region is interested, he can also collect stamp duty, window tax, and if he is a heathen, he will also have to pay the tali tax, and these are only recorded, far from all!

In contrast, the lord only collected grain tax, mill tax, firewood tax, inheritance tax, transaction tax, poll tax, etc., etc., etc., how merciful it was!

But farmers just like to give their money to the church!

They would rather give the last two copper plates to the church than pay a little tax to the lord!

Well, this last point is perhaps what makes Count Don Jr. angry the most.

But now, if the peasants who believe in Christ are convinced that it is God's will to make them pay attention to hygiene and dig ditches, then surely it will ...... Probably...... It should have some effect. But even if it only has a little effect, it can be regarded as a start, and everything is difficult at the beginning.

So the little Count Tang went out in high spirits.

Within half an hour, he came back depressed.

God's mercy, there is not even a single professional priest in a huge county, and all the professional ones are nested in the monastery! All the people who come out to work are amateurs! And they are all part-time - put on a black robe when you need it, and take off the black robe when you don't need it to cut people.

That's right, it's the knights who work part-time.

My God! You let these knights with their heads all a mess and only know how to chop and slash and kill people, and they go without saying a word with an axe, and you let them preach, and they will preach to you directly with an axe on your head, and it's almost the same! Not to mention that they can't even memorize a decent scripture!

Abominable church! They would rather have the clergy nest in the monastery and eat ashes than let them go to the countryside to preach!

It's a loss to pay so many taxes every year!

The bitterness in the heart of Count Xiao Tang, the baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say it.

A group of sub-knights, led by the Knights of Olcoba, naturally saw that something was wrong with the little master of the house lately - and they did not pluck the ducks and put the dogs on the trees for several days, but the knights got together and finally decided that as long as the wages were paid, they would not care whether the little master was a devil or not!

Don't have too much extravagance for medieval knights, the so-called chivalry, what loyalty, mercy, sacrifice, are all farts!

Of course, I'm not saying that people who really observe the virtues of knighthood don't, but for the most part, these rascals -- I mean knights, you can imagine a bastard with a scruffy beard and lice all over his body, who picks up a knife and cuts people at the slightest disagreement, and they will tell you about virtue?

Sows are going to go up the tree, okay?

Of course, there is a sow in Desmond's territory that has climbed the tree, and that is the Knights of Alcoba.

This knight is really worthy of being the pillar of the party-state, fair, kind, kind, kind, and loyal, and the entire Desmond Lord, the current Earl of Xiao Tang, only dares to consult with this knight.

"Want a real priest?"

At that time, the knight was stunned when he heard this request from his little master. Why, because the money given to the church every year is not enough, and you want to invite this robber directly to your home? Or did the devil finally find it too fun to plague a group of peasants and go to the church?

However, the Knights of Alcoba also have the attribute of loyalty, and everyone has already studied and decided, as long as the salary is still paid, it should not be seen that Count Don Jr. is crazy, and the Knights of Alcoba have a little persuasion, and they begin to really make suggestions.

"Let's attack the monastery directly! I've long seen that the abbot is not pleasing to the eye, and I can still make a fortune by the way. ”

"......," the corners of Earl Tang's mouth twitched.

"Not satisfied? It doesn't matter, we can set a fire around the monastery, force all the priests inside, and just catch a few - that is, we can't make a profit. ”

...... "Knight, Ocoba Knight, what about your virtues, aren't you merciful and kind?!" How did you come up with the idea of either killing people or setting fires?

Little Count Tang can't maintain Danding's expression anymore, I think his current expression should be egg pain.

"You're not happy with any of that? Then there is no way, or you can pay some money to buy a handyman and ask him to put some medicine in the meal, and take the opportunity to turn it over and get it out. Of course, I myself don't approve of this approach, because it costs money. ”

Okay, after killing people and setting fires, it's kidnapping, knight, aren't you really from a bandit?
