040. Tianzhu Overlord

Although Albert did not marry Ashclei's niece, he also sent an envoy to Byzantium, hoping to occupy more maritime profits and suppress the Republic of Venice.

As of today, the number of traders coming to trade is twice as high as last year.

"Your Highness, which caravan do you see!"

As his men compared, Bran looked forward and saw that it was a caravan from Tianzhu.

They wore yellow turbans on their heads, long beards in their mouths, scimitars on their waists, and men with earrings and even nose rings

The members were black and yellow, or half yellow and half white, and the leaders were a few people, some of the black and red subordinates, who served as coolies or soldiers, and nobles and important members wore precious stones and gold ornaments, and walked with swagger.

Bran had met a merchant from Tianzhu on this avenue before.

Bran had also seen Rome once when he was arranged by the Knights to defend the Pope, and it was a very large occasion, with sixty Tianzhu people present.

The envoys brought saris, pearls, spices, amber, etc., from Tianzhu to Luyo II.

These oriental gifts are invaluable.

Bran drank with the envoys afterwards and heard from an interpreter that in Tianzhu, northeast of the peninsula, not much distance from the peninsula, there was a heroic king "Rama".

The name of the country was pronounced "BOLO" and was translated as "Polo" by the merchants and nobles of Jerusalem.

This country originated around 1000-1010 in the Holy Calendar, first defeated the nomads in the north, then defeated the foreign tribes in the east, and the princely princes in the south, and the country grew in strength.

Three hundred years later, the 10th King Rama, who has been handed down to the present day, has established a powerful "White Elephant Army", which is called "King Brahma" by monks and warriors.

The system of the Polo Dynasty is very similar to that of the continent where Bran is located, and belongs to the manor fiefdom.

Most of the Tianzhu people believe in a religion called "Sanskritism", which divides the crowd into four classes, the first class is the monks, also known as the Brahmins.

Rama is descended from the second rank of military aristocracy "Kshatriya".

The third class is the Vaishyas, the fourth is the Shudras, and below them are the untouchables.

Because of the strength of Rama, there is no difference between the second class and the first class, strictly speaking, but it is reflected in the sacrifices, which are somewhat different.

After conquering many states, Rama did not degrade the class of the deceased like the previous monarch, but also elevated a part of the human race to gain great allegiance.

At the beginning of last month, Luyo II issued an edict to make friends with Rama, so as to fight the heretics in the valley of the two rivers with the Bala dynasty......

……

Perhaps because the body odor is too heavy, the group of Heavenly Clan Zhu merchants in front of them are also equipped with a kind of sachet to exude a kind of ...... The pungent fragrance and the smell of dizziness, Bran rolled his eyes a few times and immediately pulled away.

Tianzhu people will come, this is not what he cares about now.

After appearing on this official road, let go of the speed even more and return to the manor when the sun goes down.

While there was still a little light, and a bright burning torch outside the house.

Bran could see the new changes in the manor after not returning for a few months.

The area of the wheat field is getting wider and wider, and the ears of rice are full.

A wide tree is also planted within a certain distance of the field to prevent soil erosion, as a dividing line, and also to provide shade when it is too hot.

Two warehouses for paper processing were located on the north side of the estate, about 700 metres from the centre of my grandfather's house.

Four hundred meters away, there is a printing house made of bricks.

From time to time, hot black smoke rises from the mouths of the four large chimneys above, from morning to night.

When it was first built, many of the maids were speechless, thinking that the house was doing harmful black magic.

Bran later transferred the craftsman Ynes back to the manor, where he lived his daily life, thinking that it would be safer to prevent Ones from escaping or being discovered.

Although Jones is under house arrest, he has a basically worry-free life, and he will provide him with anything he wants.

The same is true of the apprentices in the printing room, who are kept under constant guard, and every three days they are given a list of supplies they need.

Grandfather Howard's body is getting older, so at this time, he sometimes rests on his sleeping surface.

When Bran came back, he didn't let anyone shout, anyway, he calculated the time, and it wouldn't be in the way to stay here for a night or two before leaving.

Carol transports a piece of paper to the south, leaving Jack to guard the manor.

Iron Mountain trains mercenaries in Rabi Village, and Dursley and Simon are still in the Earl of Oz.

As for Hilde, who had been with him for some time and had a smart reaction, he stayed in Rome to learn about business.

In Rome, Bran opened a currency exchange house, but the business was not as easy as he had imagined, and he could only say that he could get by, after all, it was the world of monks, and the exchange price and interest rate were subject to the command of the Holy See.

"Your Highness is back!"

Marlene, who was knitting clothes in the room, put down her needle and thread after hearing the announcement, and immediately walked out of a separate red room.

After marrying Carol, she is no longer considered the head of the court maid, and she does not need to live next to Bran's house, but the women of the manor are still under her jurisdiction.

Marlene looked at Bran closely, and she had changed into a married woman's companion, and there was even less visible skin leaking from her body.

"Your Highness, are you safe on this road, are you in danger?"

"It's okay, boil me some hot water."

At this time, dinner had also been eaten, but Bran was not hungry, just dirty, and wanted to take a shower quickly.

When the dirt was removed, Bran was in good spirits, and instead of returning to his house in a loose white dressing gown, he took out the key and went to a bedroom next to his grandfather's room.

After the expansion, the family treasures and books have been moved out of the grandfather's room.

There were only two keys, in the hands of Bran and Howard.

When I opened the door, there was still a faint smell of smoke inside, and two hours ago, Howard was still writing a territory diary in this room.

Bran opened the diary and looked at what his grandfather had written, all of which were daily life.

On the left there are two apparent stands with full knightly equipment, one in silver and one in black.

The last time he went out, Bran wore this black outfit - Black Knight Bran.

A true knight treats weapons as much as his own life.

Howard ordered that every five days the servants should wipe it with oil and other skin care products to make it smooth and new.

The heavy books in Bran's room have also been moved here, and this bedroom is very large, even if there is a large bed, a long desk three meters long and three meters wide, weapons, maps, and six rows of bookcases, it still seems to be spacey.

Bran walked over to one of the bookcases, took out a hollow book, took out another key from it, inserted it into a hidden corner of the room, and opened it.

A treasure chest rises from the floor.

Bran slowly opened, and the moment it opened, the inside glowed with stars, dazzling.

There was a light stone twice as big as a finger, and it was leaning on the side to raise this sword.

This light stone was originally white-green, but its color has completely darkened, and it is now a dull gray.
