In the winter of that year, His Majesty the King came to Tournest, and the city offered him a huge silver platter, as long as a grown man's arms outstretched, with reliefs of crosses, swords, olive branches, doves, the city of Tournest and its patron saints, and gilded lambskin gloves and many other gifts to welcome their monarch.

His Majesty the King was in the presence of Tournest and ordered those who had been wronged to come to his court to hear the judgment and pay the court fees.

He also issued an order to build a navy against the marauding northerners, and to distribute the necessary ships and warriors to each of the realms.

The tasks assigned to Brad's territory were: a large ship, eighteen warriors, and all eighteen warriors must have armor.

For the records of Albansey Abbey, that's all that happened this winter.

Receiving the order to apportionment made Luo Yi scratch her head for a while, in this era of martial arts, warriors are ready-made, the problem is that they can't fight at sea, the bigger problem is the boat, she had to go to Turnest and ask two craftsmen to instruct people on how to build ships.

This is an additional expense and extra labor, and it is no wonder that some people think that paying tribute, or annual coins, is a good deal.

If the other party is trustworthy.

But why should the strong be trustworthy to the weak?

She had already heard from her knights that the year before last, the kingdom had paid them a huge sum of money, the amount of which was huge enough to make the "New Year Coins" in Chinese history look ridiculous.

Brad's territory alone paid the equivalent of four hundred sheep.

And the Brad Territory is only 200 households in total.

Compared with this amount, the New Year's coins handed over by the Song Dynasty to the Liao State, the Jin State and the Western Xia State are simply sending away Huazi.

Probably for this reason, foreigners looked at the Song Dynasty very pleasing to the eye, and felt that the Song Dynasty paid the New Year's coin very cost-effective and wise. Of course, when praising the Song Dynasty's policy of annual currency, and when considering the policy of peace and affinity and mutual market as the overpowering of the nomadic regime and the conquest of the Central Plains, they will not mention how they paid tribute and taxes to the barbarians in history.

Not to mention how it was captured by the barbarians after it was paid.

The year before last, the kingdom paid a huge amount of money and possessions, but the peace in exchange was so short-lived, and this year they came again, looting and burning, and the monastery was not spared, and the king's soldiers were helpless against them.

Therefore, these land warriors, who were accustomed to fighting on horseback, also had to consider building an expensive navy, all because of the forced environment.

On this day, Shepp struggled to get out of bed.

He was not to blame, for he understood that laziness, like gluttony, was a sin to hell, both as an errand boy under the bishop and as he was studying in a monastery, and he generally sat down to sleep in order to be awake in time.

The blame is on the devil for this...... Kang......

It's so warm......

He overslept the day after his first use.

When he finally got up, he remembered that the sermon he was supposed to preach today was about a saint enshrined in the convent of Tournest.

While paganism was still ruling the country, the only daughter of the noble family could not become a nun in public, and was betrothed to the only son of a well-connected family, but she succeeded in convincing her husband on the wedding night that the two would not have evil pleasures in life and would not leave behind the offspring that their parents had hoped for, but as holy children

The ascension of the male and female bodies to heaven made the famous families of the two ancient empires extinct......

But before the sermon, the devil came to him.

"This is paper?"

The other nodded.
