However, when Luo Yi expressed this emotion, he forgot one thing, people don't just rely on farming to eat.

The Baroness's ex-husband, Baron Brad, was warmly embraced by a bear and ascended to heaven on his way to the forest to try to use the skill of hunting to improve his diet.

And this kind of "man-made food death" is not limited to nobles, commoners and serfs, in order to fill their hungry stomachs, secretly enter the forest of the lord to hunt, once found and unable to pay the fine, at least they will be blinded, or hung on the gallows, which is the same as the baroness's ex-husband Baron Brad

Return......

Hunting is only one of the sources of food.

Commoners and serfs with a little money could graze their cattle in the forests and pastures for a fee to get meat and cow and sheep milk for food. In the sparsely populated wilderness of agriculture-less Europe, it was easy for livestock to find fodder, even in the world of Grimm's Fairy Tales

, which is also full of descriptions such as "a goat that feeds their whole family with milk".

This seems to be easier than farming, where cattle, sheep and horses will find food and breed on their own, and all that humans need to do is drive them out in the morning and take them back in the evening.

However, in an era when there are no high-yielding crops to provide enough protein and there is no breeding of improved breeds, how much milk can these cattle and sheep produce a day? Apparently not much, the poor at that time did not drink milk, but the whey left after the milk was made into cheese.

In winter, cattle and sheep do not produce milk, and with the scarce manpower of the time, there is not enough hay for cattle and sheep to overwinter, so it is common to slaughter weaker animals before winter comes, and the slaughtered animals are made into bacon and sausages—it is said that these meat products, which lack the flavor of precious spices, are only one

Mouthfuls can make diners understand why the adventurers of the year risked their lives to cross half the world to rob a little pepper, cinnamon and ginger.

It's so unpalatable!

Some people may say that it is unpalatable and unpalatable, but it is meat!

However, not everyone can afford to eat meat like this, animal husbandry is a far more risky industry than agriculture, and unlike the romance in later TV dramas, ancient herdsmen struggled more on the verge of death than farmers at that time.

In ancient times when there were no antibiotics, once the plague was prevalent, the herdsmen could only watch their precious livestock die one after another, even in modern times, a snowstorm destroyed Outer Mongolia

Millions of head of livestock, not to mention antiquity.

And after the disaster, the settled farmers can eat the grain they had previously stockpiled, they can borrow money from the rich and pawn it, they can get help from the government, and the herdsmen? Even if the government is willing to give them handouts, where can they go to find them?

So, even with the skills of hunting, grazing, and looting, these barbarians were forced to do one of their least favorite things, farming—although in the eyes of the descendants of a farming people like Luo Yi, these barbarians who didn't put their minds into farming at all did it no better than beasts and birds

Where to go......

After learning about the agricultural skills and harvest of these barbarians, Luo Yi felt that the setting of the marriage tax was ridiculous before became understandable, just like this, the land is sparsely populated, hunting, grazing and looting are all open, and there is no way to eat, and then get married early to create a bunch of mouths for eating, it is estimated that the gods are

There is nothing that can be done!

Next, I can probably only order the "Crusaders", let them escape across continents, ah no, eat across continents, succeed, grab a handful, have a good year, fail, and have a lot less mouths to eat.

With this in mind, it is not surprising that the Crusaders, an organization with the slogan of killing infidels, went to Constantinople to kill Christians on the way, robbing their stomachs and purses first, religion second—in Marx's words, material first, and spirit second.

Luo Yi figured it out, and someone who ran to Turnest couldn't figure it out.

Along the way, except for the pastures with small flowers, there are fields, and there are no other artificially dug ponds (this kind of pond can be used to raise fish, and secondly, it can store water and drain floodwater), and there is not a single wasteland overgrown with weeds and shrubs that I have always taken for granted!

"Look, as I said, the peasants here live in brick houses!" The priest, who was the tour guide, stretched out his finger vividly, and everyone followed his finger to look over, and sure enough, several red brick houses were neatly lined up not far from the main road, and there was a well surrounded by bricks in the middle.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, a farmer herded a flock of sheep into one of the brick houses.

The guide was not embarrassed to mistake the barn for a dwelling, because his audience didn't notice anything wrong at all - it was normal for people and animals to live in the same house......

The only thing he felt was wrong, Abu, and he noticed something else.

"What's on the wall?"

He pointed to a line on the wall, "Pigs should be fattened more, sheep should be fed beautifully, and groomed more" asked.

"Uh, uh...... It was ...... "The house was new, and the priest didn't know the word, but to answer to a group of illiterate people that he couldn't read, it was too much, he glanced twice, scratched his head, and finally made up his mind, using the experience of the city of Tournest last year, and exclaimed, "No garbage is allowed to be dumped before eating."

Wash your hands after using the toilet! ”

The rest of the audience said "oh" and it was over, but Abu continued to ask, "Before dinner...... Hand washing? ”

"Yes!" Like all those who pretend to be knowledgeable but are being chased by others, the tour guide is a little annoyed.

Abu was not stupid enough to ask any further, and he nodded, looking the same as his companions, and pretended to agree with the priest's statement, while secretly jotting down the strange picture in his mind.

He can only remember it in his heart.

Because like most people at that time, Abu had never held a pen in his life, and the number of times he touched paper was only a handful, and it was too difficult for him to ask him to draw and write.

But soon, the smart Abu didn't have enough brains.

Because there are more and more houses on the side of the road, some of them are directly on the side of the road - in the era when robbers and knights often loot along the road, the rows of houses on the side of the road are a fantastic miracle!

And none of the walls of these houses are blank.

It was painted with rows of strange drawings.

To memorize all these drawings, the illiterate Abu had not yet had such a strong memory, and he quickly gave up on the idea.

He left his brain for something else.

"Shall we report these extraordinary circumstances to the envoy, or shall we first communicate more with our venerable bishop, who has been deeply charismatic at a young age?"
