The easiest way to judge the historical heritage of a nobleman is to memorize the aristocratic family history and its family mottos throughout the ages. However, in the last two thousand years of the mainland, there were many families that rose and fell, so in the last seven years of the old calendar, the scholars of the present began to compile books, and so far, every 30 years, there is a thick book compiled, which is illustrated to introduce the history of the rise and fall of the nobility in various places over the years. Of course, due to the inconvenience of information dissemination, what is recorded in the book is only an approximation and cannot be fully reflected.

Since the Holy See was in the territory of the Kingdom of Cili, which was culturally developed and militarily strong, it was customary for the book to start with the region of the Kingdom of Cili.

In the early days, due to the absorption of culture from Persia and Baitin, and frequent wars, the local nobles mostly had divine power, royal power, military power and other patterns, such as golden crosses, condors, wolves, flames, giant swords, lightning, crowns, etc.

The aristocracy of Gaul preferred wild beasts, live animals, falcons, lions, deer, cattle and other animal totems as ......their banners. Randall had a lot of place names flashing in his mind, but he still didn't remember where the flag came from.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please state your names. "The castle sent ten soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, to investigate.

"This is the son of the Marquis of Grad, heir to the counties of Barsai, Attu, Danais and Gama, the kingdom of Sara Randall von Adolf. After Pu Yi'an finished introducing, he took out a lion card from his body, which is a noble identity card, of course, it can also be counterfeited, but if it is debunked, it is nine deaths and one life, if it is imitated by the great nobles, then it will be ten deaths!

Convinced of Randall's identity, the castle gate was opened, and the owner himself came out to greet him.

"I am under the command of His Royal Highness the Duke of Plet, the Baron of the city of Benla, Eburghin von Gerch, the heir of the honorable Adolf family, and I beg your forgiveness if I have come to this little place. ”

Randall looked at him, he had a round body, short hands and feet, very black hair, some white skin, very thick eyebrows, very small eyes, and a huge nose, which was an interesting appearance that was hard to forget at first glance.

The baron was very respectful, it stands to reason that he has the title of baron, which is two ranks higher than Randall, a knight who has not inherited the title, and it is not necessary to do so, and besides, he belongs to a different lord.

But Ebmin didn't think so, Adolf was a hereditary nobleman with the largest territory in the country, and his territory was even much larger than that of his boss, Duke Prire, and for him, there was no difference between him and a prince, so he was very careful.

The castle was turned up and down because of Randall's arrival, and the VIP room, which had been empty, was quickly tidied up, covered with carpets from Persia, upholstered, hung with seven frescoes, and prepared a wooden bath tub.

After Randall entered the room prepared for him, the maid immediately stepped forward and took off his soaked clothes for him, and then he went into the bathtub, and the two maids heated the water for him back and forth, and after grooming, another maid came with the clothes, the nobleman's formal attire, which could not be put on by one person, and someone had to help.

There are several options with high and low collars, padded shoulders, narrow shoulders, elasticated cuffs, and even waisted culottes.

The low-class commoners had only a few clothes for a lifetime, and the better ones could wear linen, while the nobles were beautiful in silk and wore heavy, varied suits, which one could not dress neatly at all, and needed help.

Randall glanced at it, "I'm not particular, give me the simplest kind, just a pair of pants and a coat." ”

In the end, he changed into a light blue silk dress, light, simple, without too many patterns, like the dress of an ordinary rich man, and went to the hall to visit his master very plainly.

"Thank you, Sir, for your hospitality. Randall stepped forward and hugged him, a sign of intimacy and courtesy.

Once they were seated, the two began to talk, and after a few minutes, a noblewoman said sorry and joined them.

"Rong I introduce, Ivers Dan Cynthea, also the mistress of the city, welcomes you. ”

Her corset chest squeezed out a deep groove, and the corset made her look slender, which looked extremely attractive, but it was very costly, and people often died because of the pressure on the heart and other organs.

The hostess usually chatted with the guests before leaving, Dan was a noble surname in Saxony, and when Randall shook hands with her, he thought of the person he had talked to before.

"With all due respect, Madame just said that the family name is Cynthia, who are you and that Raul of the Rico region?" Randall Dow.

"My father is Raul Dan Cynthia, and, as you can imagine, Avkana is my sister. Ivers laughed at herself. She had met several times in this meeting, and whenever the guest heard her name, he would always ask his father, and after he was sure, it would be his sister, and finally the "civil war".

"It's rude. Randall heard Ivers sigh softly, and immediately diverted the subject, and told a joke, and Ivers stayed for a while, echoed a few words, and then withdrew, and stayed for about ten minutes.

There were two men left, and there were many more topics to talk about, such as the experience of controlling women, which kind of wine was the most enjoyable to drink, etc., but Randall and Eborgin had just met, so they couldn't talk about that.

"Are you interested in theology?" Abel Mingdao.

"I understand a little. Randall Road.

All national affairs, theology, martial arts, etc., were topics that the aristocracy should be familiar with, and finally Eborgin chose to talk to Randall about the book of mercy, which was the most conservative way to talk about it, but the lack of interest made it safe. It also derived a formula discourse that will not be caught - as long as the three sentences do not deviate from the grace of the Lord.

We chatted for a while.

"Honorable guest, let me be rude. "A man with a flat hat entered, his name was Danle, and he was Ebelmin's private secretary. His words intrigued the bored Randall.

"Baron, there are peasants who have applied to leave the city and want to return to the territory, twenty-five in all, whether they will accept ....... "Dangle Dao.

Randall listened to the conversation between the two and was surprised to find that Ebmin had taken the initiative to release the people out of the territory many times.

Population growth can develop excess land, get more food, and have more soldiers and laborers, and then conquer other countries and increase wealth, so the population increases and decreases, and affects the sensitive nerves of the lord.

Decades ago, Gaul produced a king who was extremely fanatical about the increase in population. In November of the year 378 of the new calendar, King Gallic V - "Patton von Chellon" succeeded to the throne.

After succeeding to the throne, he promulgated the Birth Law, proposing that "the population is the most valuable wealth in the world", and all men over 15 years old, women over 14, unmarried, sentenced to prison and joint punishment of immediate family members, this coercive means greatly increased the population of the country, provided enough soldiers, and allowed him to fight five major wars in 20 years.

On average, he won all the battles in four years, and this result allowed him to raise the land under the king's direct jurisdiction from one and a half to thirty percent, and the labor of the nobles was increased by twenty days a year, and the eleventh tax to the church was reduced to three out of a hundred. and to hold the right to appoint bishops, no longer through the Holy See.

The Holy See called Patton a "blasphemous", and when the Pope himself cursed him, he proclaimed himself the "Sun King", and the sun blessed all things, meaning that he was the chosen one.

"Pride precedes corruption, and madness precedes stumbling. ”

Barton, whose ambition was at its peak, was opposed to his sending troops by most of the nobles in order to stabilize his life for a period of time because of a state council.

In order to conquer more lands and not be disturbed again, Barton proposes to abolish the hereditary realm order!

Since the beginning of writing, there have been hereditary nobles in the continent of Europe, and the nobility is sacrosanct, which forced them to rebel, Randall's father Boni, also joined the aristocratic coalition, and in an important battle, the aristocratic army launched a surprise attack and captured Barton's favorite young son, the later Norman Archduke Harold.

Harold was so favored by Patton that he abdicated and exiled himself to the Norman province in the north of the kingdom in exchange for the life of his son, while the Chiron remained king.

And who to make the king became a big question, Patton had a group of wives and concubines, legalized all the illegitimate children, and a total of eight sons were adults.

From March to August 399 of the new calendar, these five months, the aristocratic alliance was divided into north and south, and fought again, and finally Adrian, who was supported by the south, became king, he was the fourth son of Barton and the father of Quinker.

This person is famous for his prodigality, and his most famous deeds are that he can't get money when he goes to a brothel, and is chased by naked ** all over the street.

Such a prince is easy to control, the southern nobles decided to set him up, and began Adrian to be at the mercy of the south, during this period, the southern power sat a lot, but then fought a southern civil war, although the nobles led by Boni won, but the gains outweighed the losses.

This war, which took a year and a half, left the southern nobles with no time to manage Adrian, so that he successfully integrated the royal forces, built a standing army loyal to him, and founded the Royal Society, introduced talents from the Kingdom of Cili, the Byttin Empire, and Port Nice to serve as advisers, and adopted a dividing strategy against the nobles.

To this day, a large number of peasants flock to the cities or coastal areas under the direct jurisdiction of the king to beg for a living, and if they stay in the country, most of them can only mine, hunt, farm, etc., under the command of the lord, and when they reach the age of twenty, they save a little savings, take a wife with a freckled face, get up early to work in the dark, give birth to three or four children, and before the age of forty, they have joint diseases, their faces are old, and they are waiting for death.

If you go to the colorful royal capital, there are all kinds of guilds, providing handicrafts, trade, shipping, etc., and you can earn five years of wealth in the countryside in a year.

The royal family used the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and constantly built new road checkpoints around the inland lords, and they had to pay if they thought about it, which increased a lot of costs, and the hereditary noble territories near the sea had little impact, but the inland lords were simply choked.

After the trade was blocked, the economy plummeted, and their profligacy caused a lot of turmoil in the territory, Adrian took back the land bit by bit, deducting the old nobles above eight counts, and the fourteen new nobles who had asked for the title of king at the beginning, now only five ...... remained.

"Now that the territory is so difficult, why do you want to come back?" Ebmin sighed.
