Chapter 255: Killing the nobles and dividing the land
Protestants popped up all at once, like sparks, and began to burn the prairies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Iron Curtain of Faith originally created by the Holy See in the Titan Empire was torn apart by Chen Xu, and the clergy in many regions were transformed from humans to vampires - degenerate.
And their fall has also made the Holy See blind in the Titan Empire.
This plane, this era, to deliver news, still relies on manpower, when all the clergy are depraved, the Holy See is also kept in the dark, they don't know that their tentacles have been cut off, they still think that the people of the Titan Empire are still believing in their Lord.
At the aristocratic manor near the Yager Forest, Chen Xu broke in with a group of civilians, and he told the peasants that the nobles had good things here.
"What do you do?"
A nobleman seemed to have just returned from outside, and suddenly collided with the commoners led by Chen Xu, and he screamed: "You lowly civilians, stay away from my manor, don't use your humility to trample on the manor." ”
His voice was sharp, like that of a bull's duck.
As soon as Chen Xu saw him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him by the neck.
"Don't ......."
This nobleman was dressed in a splendid silk robe, and his body was fragrant and meticulously dressed, and in ordinary times, such a nobleman would be a gentleman, and they would have a kind of elegance and arrogance peculiar to the nobility, enjoying the admiring gaze of the other commoners and slaves in fear.
But now, he has no grace and pride, only a frightened face.
His neck was choked by Chen Xu, and the whole person was about to lose his breath and suffocate to death.
"You are cruel and unkind, you are a scourge to the village, and the most important thing is that you are heretical, so I will punish you in the place of the Lord." As soon as Chen Xu's words fell, flames erupted from his hands.
This flame is white, pure, and sacred, like the flame of the gods to purify the earth.
Flames quickly rushed towards the nobleman's body, igniting him, and in the blink of an eye, he became a burning man.
In a scream, the nobleman turned into ashes, leaving not even a trace.
Originally, when the flame burned people, there would be a pile of residue left, but Chen Xu's flame was different, this was the divine flame that he was born by combining the spiritual light of faith with the fire element.
It smells holy and sacred, and the temperature is a line higher than that of an ordinary flame.
"This is the holy flame, the power of the Lord." Chen Xu turned around and said to the stunned civilians behind him, like a magic stick.
"The Lord says, 'Everyone who does not believe in me will be reduced to ashes in the divine flames.'"
As soon as these words came out, those hesitant civilians all knelt down, and buried their heads a lot one by one, and their mouths were full of words of praise for the Lord, of course, this Lord was Chen Xu.
They believe it now, because Chen Xu's miracles made them have to believe it.
"And those who believe in me will be favored."
"Believers, the Lord will bless you and give you a better life."
They plan to fight local tyrants and divide the land.
In the era before Chen Xu's crossing, the reason why Taizu was able to win the support of the majority of farmers was that he fought local tyrants to divide the land, and now, what Chen Xu wants to learn is this trick.
However, in the Pirates of the Caribbean plane, those who own land are not called tyrants, but nobles.
Therefore, Chen Xu is fighting the aristocracy and dividing the land.
"The Lord asked me to give you land, so that you may have your own land and live by your own industriousness." Chen Xu said.
This plane is actually very similar to the past history of the era before Chen Xu crossed over, a large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and a large number of farmers rely on planting for this small number of people to obtain a small amount of food to live, and this kind of life also depends on the mood of God.
If the climate is good and the yield is high, they will have something to eat; When the weather is bad and the harvest is not high, they are tragic, and they either borrow money to live or leave their homes.
In fact, Europe in this plane was originally rampant with slaves, and the aristocracy kept a large number of slaves and let them work for themselves, but since those angels came down and spread faith, this status has changed.
The angels had just arrived, and the first believers were not commoners, nor nobles, but slaves.
The miserable slave, seduced by the good life in the mouth of the angel, threw himself into the arms of the Lord without hesitation and began to rebel.
They did not create the rebellion of others, but the rebellion of the aristocracy.
In such a situation, the nobles suffered heavy casualties, while a large number of slaves were emancipated and became ordinary commoners.
However, with the agreement between the Holy See and the royal family of the time, this rebellion came to an end, and its effects affected social change throughout Europe.
He transformed Europe from extensive farming to intensive farming, and the peasants replaced slaves as a new class of farmers for the aristocracy.
And now Chen Xu wants to use the land to win them over, just like the slogan shouted in the mouth of the peasant uprising in Chinese history, although history has proven that this slogan is just an empty word.
"Of course, only if you are believers in the Lord."
As soon as Chen Xu's words came out, the eyes of the civilians present immediately widened.
They looked at each other, not knowing what Chen Xu meant by this.
In fact, it's not that they don't know what this sentence means, but they can't believe Chen Xu's words, they would rather believe that they have misunderstood Chen Xu's words, and they don't want to believe that Chen Xu will give them the land.
Just look at the nobles, just look at the nobility.
In the aristocratic circle, the strength of a nobleman is not judged by how many titles he has, nor by how many servants they have, nor by how many pets they have, but by how much land he owns.
The more land a nobleman has, the stronger he becomes.
And the royal family, as the largest owner of land, is naturally the largest aristocracy.
Now, Chen Xu said that he wanted to allocate the land to them, which was simply a fantasy, so when they heard this, the first thing they did was that Chen Xu said the wrong thing and understood the wrong meaning, anyway, they would not believe that Chen Xu would allocate the land to them.
You must know that when the angels came and the slaves were freed, the slaves did not have land, and all these lands were given to the clergy by the angels, so the clergy had the same title of 'lord' as the nobles.
"Did I hear me right? Do you really say you want to give us the land? The peasants who were the first to be found by Chen Xu and accepted the glory of the Lord reacted, looked at Chen Xu with anticipation, and spoke very carefully, for fear that they had heard and understood wrongly.
"How is that possible?"
"Those who have land are all nobles, and it is normal for us people to have no land."
"That is, how can we have land?"
Before Chen Xu could reply, the other peasants retorted together, accusing the farmer of being wrong.
For these peasants, it was unthinkable to own a piece of land, and as long as they had land, they could turn over and become nobles.
In fact, in the Titan Empire, peasants were commoners, but their status was very low and not recognized by other commoners, so peasants were called serfs.
"Of course it's true, the Lord doesn't lie." Chen Xu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said: "The kingdom of God of the Lord has not yet come, but I, as the messenger of the Lord, will give you the gospel and glory in advance." ”
"Let you no longer be serfs, but real peasants."
Serfs and peasants may seem like no difference on the surface, but in reality they are very different.
This distinction is mainly reflected in the status, which is two different statuses, such as farming for others and farming for oneself, although in reality it is not necessarily more than the grain obtained by farming for oneself than for others, after all, land is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to have a large amount of land.
"Of course, you need to believe in the Lord in order to enjoy the glory and gospel of the Lord." Chen Xu said.
"I want to believe in the Lord, and I am a believer in the Lord." The farmer, who had been blamed by the other farmers, was the first to speak, his eyes were very eager.
"Good." Chen Xu's spiritual will spread out, found the contract, gave the contract to the peasant, and said with a smile: "From today onwards, you are no longer a peasant who is a peasant on the surface, but is actually a serf. ”
"You will become a real farmer, a farmer who works for yourself."
"Peasant ......." The farmer was stunned, and his voice choked up involuntarily, "I have finally become a real farmer." ”
"I'm no longer a slave with the title of peasant."
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
The tears shed by a big man are ugly and even contemptible, but Chen Xu understands and understands his mood at this time.
"Don't worry, in the future, you will have more land, and you will really turn over and become the master." Chen Xu was easily comforted, and he finally understood why every time the peasants revolted at the end of the feudal dynasty, it would spread from a few thousand people to hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
One reason for this is land.
The peasants' desire to own land is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and when the common people are working and doing small businesses, even if they are fired and the business goes out of business, it is a big deal to change places and continue, but the peasants are different, and the peasants' own land is gone, that is, it is really gone.
"I'm going to ...... too. I want it too. ”
After Chen Xu made it clear that he would divide the land, the other farmers were also excited, and they rushed to say that they would believe in the Lord and only hoped that Chen Xu could give them land.
"Of course the land will be given, but you also need to prove that you are faithful to the Lord." Chen Xu smiled strangely, and without waiting for these farmers to ask, he said the way, "As long as you can get five people to believe in the Lord, you can get one acre of land." ”
He was tempting these peasants with profits.
This is actually very similar to a pyramid scheme, but a pyramid scheme is a deception, and he is not a deception.
The peasants hesitated, then agreed, and left one by one in a hurry to find someone to believe in the Lord. (To be continued.) )
