There is Ulf's endorsement, the identification of his own son.

The two knights present scolded the traitor and praised "Gedo" for his righteous act of killing his relatives.

For Oran, his cousin Thorge is the highest status and most ambitious among the vassals, and he has the relatives claimed by his own relatives, so take him down, take his manor under his direct jurisdiction, and mobilize his own private troops in the future, even if he does not add these subordinates, he can approach three hundred and fifty people, and he has the power that no one in the territory can shake if he joins forces.

If all the current forces of the Vijay family are gathered, it is estimated that four to five hundred can be mobilized, and if the old and weak are also sent up, they can approach six hundred.

Oran looked at the two knights and priests carefully,

If he finds that he is a little dissatisfied, he even wants to cut it all together.

As a lord, he has a natural advantage, a barony of more than 3,000 people, he doesn't need any conspiracy, just gather it and hunt it down.

At present, there is no one in the territory who can threaten him, so he must be ruthless and fast.

At dawn in the morning, Orlan sent thirty more men into the fiefdom of one of the knights, and it was time to arrive.

However, it does not trigger the health increase message.

Orlan guessed that Thorge's behavior was no different from rebellion, his territory could not collect taxes, and he had long lost control, so he only increased his life after control?

And these people have no objections, and the territory is also under their control, so they don't trigger new lives?

"Conquer uncontrolled chunks and increase life."

"Then if you lose the control zone quickly, reduce it or not?"

These two characteristics of Olam classification come out, but they still need to be verified.

I thought about it a lot, and I was in a daze for a while before Orlan came back to his senses.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, because Kunsang and Nanding appeared with their followers, at least twenty people, surrounded the outside of the hall, and the shiny spears were shining, and the cold air was exuding.

Seeing the fierce soldiers in the corner of the door, my heart became nervous.

"Keep drinking."

Oran let the waiter pour the wine for everyone, and the scene relaxed.

As long as you are obedient, you can stay, because there are too few talents in the administrative and military fields.

What is the most expensive on the continent in 865 A.D.? Gold and silver, silk and white paper?

Talent is certainly one of them.

Of the three, only Ulf could read and spell.

The other two knightly nobles could only sign their names, their fathers, grandfathers' names for three generations, and a few family mottos on shabby parchment when they expropriated their village property.

It's only better than being illiterate.

Even so, this is already the average of the primary aristocracy in England, where the literacy rate is less than 10% today.

The rebellion was successfully resolved, and Oran picked up the cup containing the water and said, "Thorge's village was inherited by Gdo, and Tsoge's second son has already said that he wants to become a 'priest' to pray for his dead father.

As lord and patriarch of the family, I readily agree that you will help him be baptized. ”

"Yes, sir."

And in a few days, Gedo will pass away by accident by coincidence, as for "what accident", it depends on Oran's mood.

The eldest son was unexpected, the second son became a priest, and the Thorge family, who had no heirs, returned the land to Oran.

After Gedo retreated, he was taken down by Nanding.

Seven days later, he died of an accident in which he drank too much.

Since then, his name has not appeared in the history of the barony.

……

The people continued to eat and drink.

Oran's face was soft, so that his subordinates could rest assured.

The aristocracy had two meals a day, and each meal was well fed.

Of course, those with the status of earl or above, as long as they have financial support, they will have several snacks.

The baron's status can't support Orlan's too luxurious quality of life, coupled with the influence of memories of his previous life, he will not lift a finger as long as he is full of such a poor meal.

But his subordinates were happy to eat, especially wine, which was really drunk as water, and their bellies became more and more bulging.

The lord's feast, eat more and earn more, much better than what they usually eat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Vikings robbed it once last year, and it is estimated that it will be a few months before the round-trip time is counted, and I will build a castle and push the territory out of the realm a little.

There were two more towers, twenty more armors, twenty swords, five horses, and some old rooms of the castle that were repainted.

This hall hasn't been touched for more than 20 years, and I'm going to put some art.

Separated by three rooms, there is a juggling group with musicians, clowns, circus personnel.

This will be fun for visitors, increase our generosity, and in the future, we will set up a library in the castle to enhance the flow of culture. ”

These are all the same meaning, asking for money, especially the last sentence, a library, which is not cheaper than adding weapons and equipment.

The two knights just nodded, and the previous lords often did this anyway, with various plans, but they forgot about them after a long time.

It's just that when I hear about the library, I still have a strange face.

Book?

Isn't that something that a clergyman would hold in the palm of his hand?

Real men should play with swords, guns, bows and swords, as well as plump bullet women.

Father Ulf was very happy about the establishment of the "library", and the previous lord never mentioned it, but he also reminded from the side,

"My lord, do you know the price of a sheep and how much silver a pound of wool costs?"

Local parchment, kraft paper, and papyrus from the Sinai Peninsula.

These three are the sources of books and paper in England, the second is too expensive, and the third is difficult to obtain in the Central and Northern England regions because of the better innate quality and the demand in various places.

In the era of printing and papermaking, parchment paper, although cheaper than kraft paper, was surprisingly expensive.

Oran didn't respond positively, just said, "Do you want to have a coloring Bible?" Ulf. ”

When Ulf heard this, his pupils constricted, and he replied, "If they were all made of color maps, they could arm four heavy cavalry, my lord." ”

At this time, the priest was proficient in writing, and as the financial steward of the lord and the steward of internal affairs, the earthly and the mundane powers and responsibilities were mixed and used in a variety of ways.

The price conversion is roughly equivalent to 1.6 million purchasing power in later generations.

It costs 400,000 yuan to allocate a heavy cavalry, and four is equal to an artificial color book.

Stacks of lambskin are cleaned, smeared with potion, cut into smooth, easy-to-ink paper, and then written day and night by a professional scribe using a quill pen and special ink.

One can imagine the preciousness of this kind of manual manuscript.

The place with the largest collection of books in various places, except for the private library of the great nobles, is the church.

Even if it is not a color copy, but a black ink book, it is a staggering figure of wealth.

Books in the library will have a short chain, and the borrower must have permission to take them.

Book thieves were even burned at the stake and cursed by the clergy.

Fully explain the meaning of the phrase knowledge is power.

If you can master the raw materials and process technology of printing paper, it will be of great help to the wealth of the territory

A huge city with a thriving culture and ever-bright lights unfolds in Oran's mind.

Maritime trade, looting, military expeditions, fertilizing the land, reclamation of wasteland......

The ambitious Oran, although he is only a minor lord now, has been spinning his mind since the day he woke up.

At this time, he said some of his future plans in his heart, but his subordinates were not in high spirits after listening to them, and some were just worried and confused.

What are you really spending all this money for?

It's better to get a few more weapons against the Vikings.

"Paper, swords, armor, there will be everything, you go back and immediately train the men in the collar, ready to go to battle at any time, I have arrangements after a while, don't make excuses, when the time comes, the soldiers will train for me."

The meaning of this is very clear, I reward you vassals with land, I don't care what you want to do in the territory, but when I have a need, as a vassal, don't push back.

Not only Ulf, but the other two little nobles who watched Orlan grow up felt strange in their hearts, how could Orlan exude an undoubted strong attitude in a short period of time.

But when I think of the sudden death of Knight Thorge, no matter how many words I have in my heart, I can only swallow it and eat it up with bread.

This meal, everyone went from joy to nervousness, then relaxed, and finally supported in the stomach, which was really a mixed meal, aggrieved and full.
