Since the Roman Kingdom established the city of seven hills on the banks of the Tiber River, this turbulent and vigorous capital has not known how many noble families, the senate of ancient inheritance, the nouveau riche derived from the title of knight, and the Gallic nobles, Iberian nobles have entered the feast of the empire and passed on the family.

But where are they now?

The Franks destroyed the Gallic aristocracy, the Visigoths, the Vandals, the Lombards, and the waves of northern barbarians ravaged the Italian peninsula, and the Roman nobles, who possessed a large amount of land and wealth, bore the brunt of the killing, quarreling and extermination.

To survive in such a turbulent era, and still occupy an important position in the city of Rome, it is impossible to survive without a few unique ways, whether it is the fat man who sells wine, or anyone else behind him, he is cautious to the master of both sides of the wall, if it were not for the good governance shown by the Fujian Expeditionary Force, it seems to be easy to bully, and he would not dare to lend them ten dares to conspiracy behind it.

As for letting them mobilize the children of the family and take up arms to drive away the Min people? Stop dreaming.

Wanting to dominate Rome's commercial privileges and not taking risks is no different from wanting to be a watch and wanting to set up an archway, and it is no wonder that the feminine Bishop of Lexinty sneered with a mocking sneer on his face.

However, in the end, Rexinti was also a member of the Roman aristocracy, and after only a moment of contempt, a rich intrigue smile bloomed on his gloomy face.

"Okay, guys, I have a way to teach the Min people a lesson, and even drive them out."

"Could it be that the archbishop has a way to move the Pope?" Listening to Lexinti's sinister words, the grape fat man and a group of Roman nobles couldn't help but get excited again, especially the grape fat man, whose originally tight fat face was laughing out of the bun folds.

It is no wonder that they have so much confidence in the Holy See, the more suffering, the more aggravated people's faith, the Apennine Peninsula has not been peaceful for hundreds of years, the Pope has an unparalleled appeal here, and even the whip of God Attila was led by Pope Leo I to repel the army and people, the early Holy See has not yet decayed, defending the safety of the Italian peninsula, defending Rome several times, the Holy See has indeed made a great effort.

It is no wonder that many nobles have given so much hope to the Pope, but unfortunately, in the face of the eager faces, Rexinty shook his gloomy face, which looked like a villain.

"It is impossible for His Majesty the Pope to make a move, now that southern Italy has not been pacified, and there is the Byzantine Viceroyalty of Ravenna in the north, His Majesty still has to rely on the Min people to defend the Holy See, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything against the Min people before this."

"Is there no way to do this?"

More than a dozen nobles couldn't help but show their unconcealable disappointment, watching a group of colleagues wither, but the smile on the gloomy cardinal's face was even stronger.

"Who says there's no way?"

"Recently, haven't you all let the Fujian people steal a lot of business, collect a lot of food, and collect taxes? Then you can't support so many people, since that's the case, then don't raise it, just cut the craftsmen under you, drive the farmers out of the land, and have a few thousand fewer people to feed, aren't you naturally rich? ”

"Well, archbishop, you're not crazy, are you?"

The fat man was speechless in shock, or the thin little old man behind him exclaimed in disbelief, the serfs and the workers worked almost all of their income, and the already reduced income, and the dismissal of the artisans and peasants would be even more difficult to make ends meet, this is simply a dead cycle, not a miracle medicine, a poison that poisons people.

"Archbishop, isn't this ruining the inheritance left by our ancestors?"

"The workers are not easy to support, and if they are dismissed, who will work for the nobles?"

"After all, my farmer has followed my grandfather and my father for several lifetimes, and it is impossible to say that he was dismissed like this."

A group of rice worms in the gossip was completely boiling, looking at their stingy faces, Rexinty finally showed impatience, irritably poked his vampire-like hand out of the sleeve of his cloak, and pressed it downward.

"Everyone, all right!"

"The dismissal of the workers and peasants has indeed caused us great losses, my father and I have to stop several large estates in Sabi, and the daily losses are no less than yours, but we can survive, even if we stop working for a year or two, we will be fine, those mud legs can't survive, they don't have a job, they have to starve for three days, tell them, the Fujian people robbed us of our business to make it like this, what will they do?"

The conspiracy at the corner of his mouth became more and more intense, and Lexinty even smiled a little proudly: "And there are many mud-legged people in the Holy See who are still fighting against us, the noble people who have been inherited from the Roman Empire for thousands of years, if those mud-legged people are going to starve to death, can they care?" Let's just watch from the back, no matter who cleans up on both sides, we are the ones who benefit! Hahahaha. ”

As if imagining that the shops of the Min people were smashed by the mob, and at the same time old Eugene was made to a disgraced appearance, Rexinty couldn't help but raise his head and laugh proudly, and the gloomy smile drove the other nobles who were soaking in the conspiracy jar, and shook the ancient sewers to buzz, as if a group of vampires were gathering here.

It's just that in the laughter, the fat men of several big guilds always have a lingering color of rich flesh pain on their faces......

The next few days were nothing short of a disaster for the city of Rome.

At the gate of the wine estate, the fat man of the guild head waved his fat hand to the side, and his face was full of hideous roars: "The Min people have robbed the guild's business, and Lao Tzu can't use so many grape fields, so he can't support you, so you can fend for yourself!" ”

The vineyard pruners, who usually complained about their hard work and low wages, were immediately stunned.

Near the city of Rome, at the gate of the large manor houses, thousands of peasants dragged their burdens as if they had lost their souls, dragging their families towards the city of Rome, occasionally looking back in despair.

"Master, the old slave has followed your ancestors for three generations, please don't drive the old slave away, right? The old slave doesn't need to be paid anymore, just give me a bite to eat, and don't let my little grandson starve to death! ”

Dressed in rags and tattered clothes, I don't know how many years have not changed, my hair and beard are dirty and messy on my face, holding an equally black doll, an old serf pulls Rexinty's trouser leg and refuses to leave, the miserable voice is simply crying and the listener is sad.

Unfortunately, this did not impress the gloomy archbishop, whose face was full of sanctimonious kindness, and Rexinty rolled up his sleeves and said: "We are all Christians, God's people, as God's servants, I should not have been so ruthless. ”

"But I can't help ......"

There were tears in the triangular eyes, and Rexinti said with a miserable face: "But the Fujian Expeditionary Force has collected too many taxes from those ungod-believing heretics, and they have robbed our guild, if you are not fired, I really can't support the thousands of people in the Rexinti family." ”

"Father, I'm sorry for you!"

The Western clergy are generally called fathers, and they claim to be fathers, but this father's heart is really darker than hell, and the sky is pitiful, the barn in his family is full until now, and if he supports more than 10,000 people in this family, he will not starve to death for two years without harvest, but he will cry out as if he will go to the pot without rice tomorrow.

But what did the old serf, who had cultivated the fields all his life, know something, and he had the impression that everything the archbishop said was right, and he let go of his hand with a miserable look, and the old peasant looked at the city of Rome with a terrible look.

"Min people!"

"Archbishop, no!"

In the city of Rome, in a low, dilapidated church built in an alley, although wearing the glossy cardinal vestments issued by the Fujian Kingdom, Adéodatus still lived a poor life like an ascetic, reciting the Bible in front of the sculpture of Mary with a few lonely lamps.

But before he finished his homework for the day, the loud noise outside suddenly came in, seeing a large group of workers and peasants in shabby linen clothes crowded into the church, the old guy shook his beard and couldn't help shaking his messy beard, and angrily reprimanded: "What is the urgency, what can there be Christ's martyrdom to save the world?" ”

The old fellow was still very prestigious among the poor, and a roar actually made the dozens of fellows who were crowded in the mess become silent, and looked at these fellows with satisfaction with wheat paste and rotten leaves on their faces, and then Adéodatus hummed and asked majestically, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the Rexinty family has raised the rent again? ”

"It's not."

The messy hair can't see the men and women clearly, and they don't speak after a year of work, and when it comes to the end, a group of people are even red, but they haven't explained it for a long time.

Once again, his head was made two laps, and Adéodatus depressedly tapped his crutches on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Christianity teaches us to endure, everything we face is a test of God, you say, what happened?" ”

The one who was ordered was actually still a girl, but the big teeth missing from the cheeky and big cake face were almost the same as the man, and the poor woman almost fainted when she was named, until the old bishop frowned and gave him a glass of wine issued by the Fujian Kingdom, which was better.

"Because the merchants of the Min people robbed the business of the wine guild Lord Odelus and the old man of Lexinti, and the nobles of Rome said that there was no bread to feed the people, and together they fired thousands of workers and thousands of farmers."

"Now there are thousands of suffering brothers living in the streets of Rome, begging the archbishop to call the shots!"

"What?"

Just now, he was shouting for the believers not to panic, but now Adiodatus himself almost didn't jump up, and as soon as his beard twisted, he walked out angrily.

"Father, where are you going?"

"Go to the Pope Theory!"

was born like Hong Zhong, and in the blink of an eye, this thin old man had slammed the door and disappeared......
