"The property of the Bathory family was, is, and will be in my hands."

The noblewoman's lips were red and slightly black, which was particularly attractive. Such a beautiful mouth said such hard words, and it didn't make people feel unpleasant.

"Of course, you're right." Aaron Pol saw only his lips furlen in his heart, and it took a long time for him to react to the words of this noblewoman, the Countess of Bathory.

"Countess, please allow me to be obsessed and offended, can you please sell me the land, and the blind nuns I represent. They are a respectable ascetic and cannot occupy land, so I will be the signatories of the contract. Aaron Pol said seriously.

Countess Bathory said, "You fought there, honorable knight, and you should know what to expect in that land." ”

"We can destroy those demons, we can purify the land so that it can nourish forests and farmland." "Of course, it's very costly. You may have heard of the Sun Holy Water, which is equal to the same amount of gold coins in Teng, and it is still hard to find a bottle. But His Excellency the Sage purified the land with tons of holy water, which no nobleman could do. ”

"yes, it's not a good deal for me." Countess Bathory narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Then what do you want to tell me, let me sell you the land for a worthless price, and then watch you make a lot of money?" ”

"Well, in fact, how can the income from the land be as high as the trade? I know that the Bathory family has a stake in the Port of Kings and that there are two caravans to the East. Aaron said, "I really don't understand what you have to be attached to the land. ”

These lands were passed down from the maternal line to the family of the last Count of Bathory thirty years ago. For a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, it can only be regarded as floating wealth.

"Hehe, House Bathory." The Countess laughed and said, "Yes, our family has an equity in the port of Kings, a caravan to the East, and a king, but what does it have to do with me?" The Bathory family is big, but I'm small. Do you know what I live by? Only the tempera and gin glasses left over from the Mad King can be sold. My knight, I need a more affordable price. ”

"Of course we can raise the price ......"

"Of course, and I only rent." The Countess said, "I can rent you the land, and I will pay you a fixed rent for growing crops or starting pastures." Moreover, you must obey the laws I have made, and I will always be the lord of that land!" ”

Aaron Pol only felt that the voice of the countess was in his head, and he could not refuse. He bowed slightly: "Please allow me to hear about the laws you have made......"

"Farmers, herdsmen, craftsmen, all those who are in that land must have the opportunity to work and receive an income that will support their families."

"The baby girl cannot be drowned, or her parents will be charged with homicide."

"Neither a man, nor a father, can prevent a woman from going out to study and work, otherwise she has the right to leave the family."

"All new towns must build schools, including schools for girls only."

Countess Bathory tilted her head slightly and questioned Aaron Pol with suspicion:

"Are you okay with that? Can your saints and the Church accept such conditions? ”

Aaron Pol stammered and said:

"I am willing to grant you all the conditions, but so, so, so different laws, I must listen to the opinion of His Excellency the Sage."

"Of course, it's your obligation." Countess Bathory stood up: "I look forward to your reply. Oh, by the way, please convey to your Sage that he will put the development of the population at the top of the list. We all know that man is power itself. ”

"Of course, of course." Aaron Pol stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your generosity, and I wish I could see you again." ”

"Even if it's not for business, I'm willing to host you at home." The Countess smiled, "But it may be a little early to invite you to my little salon now." ”

"I wish that day came sooner." Aaron Ball excitedly.

Countess Bathory walked up the stairs and smiled back, "I'm not sure about that, you need to be more prepared." ”

Aaron Pol suppressed the throbbing in his heart and buried his head. He didn't care about having the noble earl grow horns on his head, and he was willing to pay anything if he could spend the night with the countess.

The business had to be brokered so that he could enter and leave the Countess's mansion as a matter of course.

Aaron Pohl left the Count's Mansion, boarded his carriage, and began to brew a report to the Sage. He didn't know what the Sage had to say about the Countess's laws, but he knew that the Church certainly didn't like them.

In the eyes of many bishops, women bear more "sin" in the War of Original Sin. They should be respected and pitied, but they should not be allowed to take on social work and power. So they don't need to read and write, they just need to listen to their fathers and husbands.

……

……

When Zheng Yi received Yaaron Pol's letter, he could hardly believe what the knight had been stimulated. An entire page is devoted to describing the Countess's beauty, seductiveness, fashion. Then the pen turned and said that the countess had some "quirks".

And the "quirks" he listed are extremely correct in Zheng Yi's opinion!

In such a place where the fiefdom system is practiced, comparable to that of medieval Europe, there is a lord who germinates women's rights and is willing to take action to protect his female subjects, so that they can study, get an education, and get the right to work.

It's almost like shouting equal pay for equal work.

This small gap, Zheng Yi can make up for her.

"Not only do women have the right to work, but they also have the right to receive the same pay as men in the same jobs." Zheng Yi wrote back to Jaaron Pol: "We can accept the lease system, but it must be long enough, say 100 years or 200 years. All public facilities we build cannot be demolished or diverted for other purposes, including but not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, ......"

Zheng Yi had a faint idea of meeting this countess, maybe she also had a soul in the other world. This land, now known as the Earldom of Bathory, may usher in a good lord and bloom with a different kind of brilliance.

Aaron brought a letter from the Sage and a bottle of Sun Elixir as a gift to Count Bathory again.

The Countess had the servant take the gift and focus more on the Sage's reply. After reading it carefully, she said:

"I can give you a map and a power of attorney. All the land outside the restricted area can be cultivated first and then signed a lease deed. No matter how much land you cultivate, I charge a fixed rent: one jingio per year. ”

Aaron Pol couldn't believe his ears.

"Of course, I have no intention of giving away the commercial tax, and all merchants must pay the poll tax and property tax according to the rules of the principality." The Countess slapped the letter on the table: "Leave it to me, Countess Bathory. ”

"Of course." Aaron Pol bowed in salute.
