225. God Cannot Save England (Plough Development)
Oran was supposed to bring the queen to King Mercia for trial, but at this time, Mercia and Wessex had friction on the southwest border because of the containment of the former Wessex County Governor Pande.
The king went south to inspect his border fortresses, not only to protect against the Vikings, but also from his in-laws, the Flying Serpents, to the south.
So, when he left York again, Orange took the queen to East Anglia for trial.
Oran likes to talk to cultured women,
When a man is incompetent, it is a fantasy for a woman,
With power, he turned to oppress women,
After the literacy is improved, the woman is spiritually satisfied.
They are required to be beautiful, educated, and noble-born, and sometimes they can talk back to themselves, and sometimes they have to surrender to themselves.
On the convoy, Oran and Edmund drove alongside each other, using six horses to hold the two carriages in place, so that Oran and the queen could maintain the same speed, and the two could see each other as long as they pulled one side of the carriage.
However, Edmund's car, her feet were chained, and she couldn't get out of the car and move at will.
The queen didn't want to see Oran, but the curtains on her side were forced up so that Oran could see her freely.
And when Oran doesn't want to look, he can just pull down his curtains.
Oran looked at the queen and thought of a blonde woman.
If people regard themselves as gods, they will think that they have divine powers after a long time.
Thinking of this woman once in a while lately, Oran didn't think it was a good sign.
On September 7, Oran entered Downey's land.
Mercia also sent neighboring Lincolnshire Lord Berry and Cambridge County Anhar to assist Orlan and Downey.
The territory of these two county governors was in East Mercia, near East Anglia, and they also had the idea of communicating military operations during this trip.
After walking into East Anglia, Oran's face was heavy.
East Anglia had previously been devastated by the Vikings, and later split into the Queen and Downey factions.
At present, the population of the country is only in the early 60,000s.
There may also be moisture present in this number.
A large amount of farmland was abandoned, and during the autumn harvest, it was desolate.
The coastal strip used to be where their barn was located, but now the defense line has completely shrunk, and there is a big problem with food.
Oran also saw many floating corpses lying on the riverside or on the side of the road.
The manpower that could still work in the country was gathered by Donnie and other nobles and clergy.
Spread over several towns and towns, prioritizing their own dietary needs.
It can be said that now in the whole country, there are only three kinds of people.
Aristocrats, clergy, paupers (war criminals, commoners, slaves all lived the same life).
"Stop."
As Oran passed by a manor, he saw more than twenty poorly clothed peasants, with wooden or light ploughs, struggling to plow the earth, while the overseers behind him kept threatening them with whips.
In order to rebuild the manor, the peasants worked hard with rudimentary tools and sweated and busy.
In the sparse fields, they walked bent over, and their strength kept disappearing.
People can't compare with cattle and horses, but cattle and horses have to be used by nobles, and the rest of the old and weak are either eaten or traded, and a large number of manors can only make up for the gap with manpower.
In the past, this kind of scene was very common, but after the farmers' efforts, they still had something to eat.
Now, even if you use all your strength, there is no hope......
When the menacing White Eagle nobles passed by the manor, the lord of the manor hurried out to scold his slaves for not saluting the lords, and very respectfully brought the whole family to Oran.
The queen was in the prison car, watching all this, praying sincerely.
When her voice came from the carriage and probed, the manor lord's face changed, "Your Majesty!"
"Pseudo-king!" The servants sent by Donny to follow Oran immediately corrected him.
"How much land can you plow in a day?"
"How much food do you need to give to the farmers?"
"How long do you give them a rest?"
Oran asked three questions, and the lord of the manor replied with his head bowed, "It's not much, you can eat enough, and sleep until you wake up naturally." ”
"Very well, you must remember that the Vikings caused this scene, and if one day they come again, even if it is with a wooden plow, you will have to pick it up against them."
Orlan walked away, and as he saw along the way, it was like this on all the estates of land with more than fifty people.
This is, the queen on the other side of the car couldn't help but say, "What you have seen all the way, so sad, as a nobleman, don't you have any compassion at all?" Son of God!"
Orlan turned his gaze to the Queen.
"What do you see!"
"You are a little similar to a woman, she has blonde hair, she is full of learning like you, but it is a pity that she has failed Ben Bo's sincerity, I tearfully got rid of their family of collusion with the Vikings, but I have been sad for a long time, for a day or two, she has lost her family, and Ben Bo has lost love."
"You...... Shameless!"
"You are good-looking, and Ben is going to break down the door for you, excommunicate, and strip you of your title.
After you have been imprisoned in the convent, I will help you to atone for your sins and be baptized, so that you may be worthy of Ben Bo,
If you can please me, I will take you as a concubine, this is the tradition of our Ansa ancestors, and maintaining the fine tradition is what future generations of nobles should do. ”
"You bastard, devil, maggot-like demon!"
The queen could not accept that a nobleman could say such a thing.
Her angry body was trembling.
"A few words can make you lose your temper, and a few tragic pictures will make you ask God, what can you change?
Bember shoulders the fortunes of England, sees farther than everyone else, and thinks more deeply than everyone else.
You see that there is no plow, you are praying, and Ben is already thinking about how to use the new farm tools.
Some areas of Wessex began to use the newly made 'curved plow', which was more powerful.
When my guild merchants went south with the paper, they also heard that some of the lords of the estates in the eastern part of the Franks had improved a heavy plough, using a combination of wheels and ploughshares, to make farming more efficient and convenient.
After installing the wheels, we can peel off the borders of our England, the stubborn land......"
The queen kept chanting, as if to expel Oran's words from her mind.
She didn't want to listen, ask, or believe what the devil said.
In her prayers, Oran heard the names of kings and nobles in addition to God.
Among them is "Alfred", the "filial son of God".
The strength of the two has been getting closer.
Hearing this ambitious bastard, Oran said again, "This nobleman, who has indirectly called you the queen of the left face, has taken all the remnants of the Kent region, secretly contacted the Franks, sent people to Rome to ask the Pope for a name, and also wants to establish a new code, a standing army, a navy, a castle,
This son of the devil, who doesn't want to assist his brother's son, is bent on usurping the throne, but he is ruthless!
Recently, I and his clergymen published a book called 'The Last Judgment,' which contains a lot of criticism of my New Testament.
Killable!
Don't worry, Benber will help you get your revenge. ”
Before the Queen came to Downey Manor and was taken away, Oran's last words were,
"God can't save England, only I can."
