Carolan was busy after following Canossa back to the manor, and although the Klose family had prepared the ingredients and other necessary materials for the banquet, there were still many chores to arrange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEspecially after the birdcatchers announced the crusade, Caroline could already anticipate the lively scene tonight.

The most precious wealth of this era is the rich land and population, but the inherent land area of a country is limited, and as the population increases, the supply of rich land suitable for cultivation will inevitably exceed the demand. This will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of land annexation, where the aristocracy will own more and more land, and the commoners will have less and less land, and finally the commoners will have to donate their land to the nobility in order to survive because of the lack of means of production. When land contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, it will inevitably lead to war. Of course, this is a trend in ancient China, and the situation in Europe is different, but this trend is indeed the same.

So when Henry announced that he was going to organize an army to fight against Blaneybell on the east bank of the Elbe, all the nobles realized that this was a good opportunity. Brandenburg was the future Brandenburg, the most important fortress of the current Slavs against the Germanic invasion, Blanibel had the most developed economic system and the richest land in the entire Polish steppe. The Germanic people have always been a very enterprising people, and when the Carolans first crossed over, fierce clashes broke out in Holstein in the north between the Germanic pioneers and the Danish natives, resulting in nearly 100 deaths. Although the conflict was tacitly suppressed by the Germanic and Danish rulers, the Germanic people on the border put more and more demographic pressure on their neighbors.

The Kingdom of East Francia is bordered by the Kingdom of Burgundy and the Kingdom of West Francia to the west, the Kingdom of Lombard to the south, and the territory of the Nightmare Magyars of Western Europe to the southeast. Therefore, although Henry's act of starting the war this time was very sudden, driven by interests, all parties would easily accept Henry's move. After all, if the war goes well, even if Henry takes the lion's share, the remaining benefits will be enough to make the nobles of the entire East Frankish Kingdom tempted.

In the past, the Slavs did not use force in the Blaniber region because of their courage and skill, and the fact that Lomvaism and Slavic traditions were deeply rooted in the region, and the local Slavs were extremely resistant to the Germanic people, so the East Francian kingdom was slow to open up the situation in Blaniber. But now that Henry is willing to take the lead in the battle, how can the nobles of all parties not be happy? If you win, you can benefit evenly, but if you lose? If Henry is defeated this time, it is time to sit down and have a good meeting with the Kingdom Council to talk about the recent fact that Henry's policies are contrary to the great Germanic tradition.

In addition, war was always a carnival for the nobility, who relied on providing force and taxes to the lords to ensure their power. Without war, there would be no nobles who would have power over the commoners of the kingdom, and with the dividends brought by the war, the entire East Frankish kingdom could not help but not go crazy.

So Carolan knows how hot Herman is now, even those tribal dukes, as long as they want to get a piece of the pie in this war, they have to bow to Herman. Perhaps this can be regarded as Henry the Bird Catcher's compensation for the Klose family, with Herman's means, there are a thousand ways to bring enough benefits to the Klose family in this crusade.

There may be fears that Henry's plans would be ruined by the Slavs' resistance, but now well-informed aristocrats know that a storm is already brewing in the depths of the Polish steppes. The mere prelude to the storm had already brought peace to the entire Polish steppe, and Blanibel was no longer the center of heresy hundreds of years ago, and without the support of the Polish tribes, Blanibel was only a strong fortress in front of Henry's army.

There must have been a lot of uninvited guests coming to the Klose family banquet tonight, because if you want to get enough benefits in the Blannie Bell area, Hermann is bound to be an inescapable mountain, and what better scene to get the friendship of the Klose family than an exchange under a victory celebration belonging to the Klose family.

"But Rudolph will definitely be pestered by a lot of fiancées again~ I hope Elise can think more about the face of the heir of the Klose family when she practices early tomorrow morning, and be merciful to her subordinates." Carolan thought as she copied the invitations sent to the various families that had old ties to the Klose family, as Lady Canossa had instructed.

"Werner and Conrad, the cousins of the Salian family, are in Memleben, and this time I must give him the gift owed to Kourad, whose last birthday had to be cancelled because we were going to participate in the divine judgment, saying that it was to pray for us, and that my father would kill me if I gave it casually." Caroline unconsciously bit the quill in her hand and was distracted, and he was always distracted at inappropriate times.

Caroline, who had been distracted for a while, was pulled back by the itching sensation caused by the goose feathers in her mouth, and glanced at the large stack of invitations, Caroline sighed and continued to copy.

The literacy rate of this era was simply outrageously low, the unfriendly grammar of Latin, the perennial wars in Western Europe, and the nobles deliberately pushed their own people to use dialects in order to isolate the influence of other territories,,, all kinds of reasons caused the entire Klose family to be literate, except for a few people in important positions.

Nowadays, all the knowledge in this world is in the hands of the monastery and the nobility, but it is interesting to note that the monastery is extremely enthusiastic about the spread of knowledge. As long as you are willing to learn, clergy with a certain level of knowledge are often happy to teach others to read, and many monasteries are even more enlightened than you think. Because at this stage, the spread of knowledge helps the church to expand its influence, and if the common people can't even understand the words of the clergy, how can you preach? And ignorant people tend to be easily attracted to civilization, so the people in the church are very keenly aware of this.

In fact, many people in later generations have some misunderstandings about Catholicism, such as the legendary Bruno who was burned to death, and many domestic sources oversimplify the execution at Campo de' Fiori, making everyone think that the church is on the opposite side of science, but this is not the case. The Church's trial of Bruno lasted seven years, and there were nearly 30 counts of him, and his support for heliocentrism was only a trivial charge, and even during the trial, Bruno was doing well in Rome. If the Church is on the opposite side of science, who will judge it for seven years in that era when religion is covering the sky? You don't see those big cases of the same era, copying the nine clans or something is very neat, this is called trying to kill you. Even Copernicus, who issued the heliocentric version, was himself the Catholic Archbishop of Framburg, and his books were even published with the help of the Church. So the church in the Middle Ages was to some extent advancing the progress of knowledge.

The aristocracy is different, they like some feudal rulers in China hope that the common people are as ignorant as possible, so they resolutely resist the spread of culture, and even many nobles have developed to the point that they are illiterate.

So when Carolan now needs someone who can write to help him, he suddenly finds that he can't find someone who can help.

"Hey, it looks like I'm going to hug the thighs of the church... Is it the one who is going to hug Rome, or the one that is going to Constantinople? Anyway, if the Church in Rome wants to overwhelm the Church of Constantinople, it will have to wait until Otto is crowned, so it should be no problem to take advantage of Byzantium now. Carolan hated this ignorant era more and more in the process of copying, so she pondered how to recruit a group of helpers for herself, anyway, judging from the tone that Herman had revealed to him before, he planned to take himself and Rudolph on the expedition to Blaneybell, so that Iris Manor needed a suitable person to help him take care of it, and maybe he could probably get rid of Herman and introduce himself to a priest.

Today's aristocrats like to find a priest to be their palace minister, without him, the level of education is high. Therefore, Caroline felt that her plan could easily get Herman's support, and then she would hook up with Rome or Kingcastle through the line of the priests she introduced. In the era when Rome was about to play the trick of excommunication with the castle, perhaps it would be a good choice to recruit a group of talents through the church.

"Young Master Carolan, I just heard from the people sent from Mirror Lake that the new manor in Mirror Lake has been built, and they asked when you will come to inspect it." When Carolan continued to bury her head in the copywriting, Lisa's voice came, and the beautiful voice and good news instantly made Caroline's depressed mood better.

"Really? That's great! Tell them I'll come tomorrow to inspect it. Carolan looked up and said happily, then he pondered for a moment and continued, "How is that Catherine doing! When Caroline heard Lisa talk about fleur-de-lis, she suddenly remembered the instability in her own territory, the bloodline favored by the heretical pope, and she felt terrible no matter how she thought about it.

"Catherine? Oh, she's a good girl, hardworking and kind. There's no problem, I think she's a little older and could be the head maid of the new manor! Lisa could see that she liked Catherine.

“。。。。 Okay, okay, let's go there tomorrow. Caroline lowered her head again and began to write.
