"Wake up, wake up."

Liebershire, Denmark.

When Grimm opened his eyes, he saw the face of his wife, Sanna.

Not pretty, a little weak, but the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Green hurriedly got up and added firewood.

Sanna says there's no need to waste it.

He smiled and didn't speak, but he moved a little faster to add firewood.

The fisherman's parents and brothers are dead, leaving only donkeys, chickens, and pigs as family members.

I lived alone for many years until I met Sanna.

It was the same storm that day.

Returning late, Sanna lit her precious candle and anxiously searched for him.

"Danger out there!"

He reprimanded, and Sanna pulled out the hot water tank from her bosom in a daze.

Dim candlelight, hot water tanks delivered to each other.

Green felt the light of his cramped and dim home.

One person labors and the other accompanies him.

One person is going out, and the other is worried.

One person is sad and the other is empathetic.

Sitting on the sand dunes of the beach, although he was still poor, he felt that heaven was nothing more than that, when he ate an apple together.

Even after giving birth to a son, his wife Sanna's body became weak and cold, and she couldn't do heavy physical work.

Green still feels that life is full of hope and loves Sanna even more.

It was dark and cold outside, but inside the fisherman's hut it was warm and cozy.

The floor was swept clean, the fire in the stove was not extinguished, and the utensils were shining on the shelves.

On the bed with a white tent, the little boy was sleeping quietly in the whistling of the sea breeze.

Amid the roar of the waves and the roar of the wind, the family had a simple and warm first meal.

Sanna went to wash the dishes, and he was going to send his son to the convent.

Since the Queen's revival of Denmark, there have been more and more monasteries.

The Queen would often grant money from the royal treasury for charitable causes.

In addition to helping women, it is also sponsoring children's literacy learning, and if they perform well, they can be promoted to officials by the queen!

Green has seen such lucky ones.

He wanted his son to have a good life, so he sent him to a convent.

In addition to being able to learn to read and write, it is said that he can also save his family from heaven.

Such a purpose is actually somewhat utilitarian, and the simple fisherman has always been a little apprehensive.

Later, some people said that the Irish especially listened to the Holy See, and the Holy See asked them to have more children, and each family would have several, and there was an agreed custom that each family should send a son to a convent to be a priest or nun, also to save the family to heaven, and there was nothing wrong with utilitarianism.

Only then did the fisherman feel at ease.

When he arrived at the convent, Green subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, when he saw Father Raphael walk out.

The fisherman remembered what Father Raphael had said before.

"Son, study hard, and be an official to the queen in the future, no matter how hard and tired I am, it is worth Green, so I have to say less, this kind of love is a heavy burden for children."

"Thrift is a virtue, but allowing a child to live in an inescapable sense of indebtedness for a long time will only make the child unhappy for the rest of his life."

"Without a son, you still have to work so hard to fish, your suffering is not caused by him, but he has to live with low self-esteem and guilt."

"A normal, warm, relaxed childhood is the most precious gift you can give him, far more precious than money."

"True love is not to kidnap each other with one's own efforts, but to nourish and fulfill each other."

Father Raphael is Danish.

After showing his talent as a child, he accepted the queen's grant to become a church scholar, and it is said that he also went to Constantinople, and was very learned.

Green is just a fisherman, and he only knows that what he says is very philosophical, but in fact, many of them are not understood.

But as long as it can really be good to the child, he is willing to correct it.

So he just touched his son's hair and smiled innocently at Father Raphael: "Good day to Father Raphael." ”

"Good day, Father Divine!"

The son smiled brightly.

Father Raphael smiled back: "Good day, God is with us. ”

At this time, a carriage stopped at the gate of the monastery, which was the purchase of supplies.

The merchant who jumped out of the carriage directed the workers to carry it, and one bucket was still labeled with a beehive pattern.

"Hive? Is it honey? ”

"Little ghost, you guessed right."

A bucket of honey?

Green looked at the yearning on his son's face, and boldly asked, "How much is honey?" ”

Merchant: "A keg of 50 silver coins." ”

The fisherman's voice was raised: "How much?!" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "In the winter, how can you see the honey here?" ”

"This is all royal honey run by the queen, you are too expensive and I am too expensive."

"50 silver coins."

The fisherman's face was grim.

Father Raphael frowned: "All this honey was ordered by the dean?" ”

"Yes, Father Raphael."

The merchant nodded.

The fisherman noticed that Father Raphael's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

Because you bought too much honey, it affected the business of the monastery?

Instinctively, Green felt that Father Raphael was not such a person.

He remembered that in the New Testament, the first meal that our Lord ate after the resurrection was honey and fish.

Honey is known as a symbol of happiness and peace, and it can also be used to make mead, adding a lot of fun to life.

It is said that the nobles of the Eastern Empire were inseparable from honey in almost every dish, and honey could be used as a substitute for gold to pay taxes.

The icons of the Heavenly Father's Cult, the Holy Ones Anphrossi, St. John Chrysostom, etc., are all shown in the image of holding a beehive.

In the past, only saints and moral people could enjoy honey.

Because of the connection between the monastery and honey, the monastery needs a large amount of beeswax to make candles, and basically the church will keep bees, and the honey and beeswax produced are also one of the profitable businesses of the monastery.

However, the monastery can't raise honey in winter, and buying some honey won't affect the monastery's business.

Moreover, Father Raphael was never a man who valued money very seriously, he was a scholar with real lofty ideals.

So why would the priest find it unpleasant?

Just when the fisherman was puzzled, the merchant said with a smile on his face: "There is also a box of Aiou candy, and the people of the Eastern Empire have tasted it and said that it is good." ”

"I tried, and it was very pure."

"I heard that the doctors of Constantinople used sugar as a medicine to treat diseases, and among the prescriptions handed down for thousands of years, there is a medicine that is sweetened rose dew, which is said to have magical power in the treatment of colds.

"Father Raphael, you have been to Constantinople, can you tell me that this is true?"

"It's true."

Father Raphael, with a calm face, said a few simple greetings, beckoned to the children, and led them into the convent to study.

"50 silver coins"

Looking at the buckets of honey, Green smacked his lips and went home ready to work hard.

On the way back, he heard some monks singing the praises of the Danish people for their hard work.

"It was those like Byeoth and his sons who, in their time, by their labors, made the country rich and the land into a worth."

"Their deeds are as lofty in history as heroes."

"All in all, the daily obscurity of the peasants turning Denmark into a fertile land is far more important than all the king's wars!"

"So don't feel bitter, you are all accumulating merit for yourselves now, and you will get the ultimate happiness when you wait for heaven."

"Only by making money with strength can you be sure."

I want to praise you, praise your spirit, praise you for enduring hardships and hard work, glorious labor, and blessing from loss, and call on everyone to take you as an example and learn from you.

The noble monk is praising me?

Many people are flattered and have a wave of energy in their hearts.

Green is also secretly cheering himself up: "You must work harder to fish today, and if you work harder, you can have your own longboat!" ”

"But before you buy a boat, let Sanna taste the honey"

With this belief in mind, Green fished hard until it began to get dark.

I opened the door and a fresh sea breeze rushed into the house.

"Thank God for a good day."

The burly and swarthy Green walked in dragging the wet fishing nets: "Sanna, I'm back!" ”

Sanna was mending fishing nets, and there was a hazy beauty in front of the candlelight.

He stared straight at his wife, motionless, even a little sluggish.

At this time, Sanna glanced up at him, and then lowered her head shyly.

Green scratched his hair: "Don't be too tired, it's terrible, uh, I mean I'm going to pick up my son." ”

Sanna stopped him, "You know what, our neighbor died. ”

Green was a little surprised: "When?" ”

"I don't know, it was probably yesterday."

Sanna thought back to the past, because the weather was terrible, and she couldn't help but want to see if the lighthouse was lit and her husband's boat could be seen.

The wind lifted her scarf and saw the firewood burning at the lighthouse, and she was relieved to think of her sick female neighbor.

"There's no one to take care of her!"

Sanna thought as she knocked on the door, but no one answered.

I knocked on the door again and again, but still no one answered, and I became a little worried, so I tried it, and I slammed the door open.

There was no stove in the house, and it was damp and cold.

Sanna held up the candle and the first thing she saw was a bed facing the door, on which lay her female neighbor on her back.

She remained motionless, her head tilted back, her cold, blue face showing a dead serenity, and a pale, stiff hand hung down from the grass as if to grasp something.

Right next to the dead mother slept two very young children, both curly-haired, round-faced, covered with old clothes, curled up, two little heads with light yellow hair pressed tightly together.

Apparently when the mother was dying, she covered them with her own clothes and covered their little feet with an old turban.

The child's breathing is even and calm, and he is sleeping soundly.

Sanna wrapped her sleeping children in a headscarf and carried them home.

Her heart was beating so hard that she didn't know why she was doing it, but she felt that she had to do it.

Ending the recollection, Sanna whispered, "Both children were by her side and asleep, they were so young...... One can't speak yet, the other just crawls ......"

The fisherman frowned, and his swarthy face, which had become wrinkled in the wind and sun, became serious: "It's a problem. ”

He scratched the back of his head: "What do you think? Gotta bring them here, us. We can always get through it. ”

"Go! Don't wait for them to wake up. ”

But Sanna sat motionless.

"What's wrong with you? Don't want to? What's wrong with you, Sanna? ”

"Look, they're here."

Sanna pulled the tent open.

The toddlers were cute.

The wrinkles on Green's face were stretched.

Although it will be more difficult, it is no problem to work harder to feed two children as a fisherman.

Thinking so, he was not in a hurry to pick up his son, but first packed up the catch and simmered some fish soup for the two new children.

Sanna was cleaning up with him, and suddenly sighed, "What is this?" ”

Green looked up and saw that it was a blackened wooden board with something written on it.

He was illiterate and couldn't read what was written.

Fortunately, there are paintings on the wooden boards.

The painting is small and realistic, telling the story of a man who suffers a lot and finally chooses to go to sea to Norway in the west.

When I arrived in the West, I felt that the air was sweet, I lived in a warm and bright house, the security was very good, I could live by brushing the dishes, and there was a good hospital for treatment, and I lived a happy life.

Sanna was a little more literate than he was, and whispered, "Iomon? ”

Green scratched his head: "Sanna, what is this?" ”

Sanna didn't know either: "I don't know a lot of words. ”

"You're going to pick up your son and show him to Father Raphael."

Makes sense.

Green packed up and went to the convent with the planks, where he happened to meet Father Raphael.

"Father, take a look at this."

"This."

Father Raphael looked at the plank and muttered in a low voice, "As long as you are willing to endure hardship, there will be endless suffering." ”

"Never believe that suffering is worth it, suffering is suffering, suffering does not lead to success, suffering is not worth pursuing, and the will is honed because suffering cannot be avoided"

The voice grew softer and softer, and the fisherman could no longer hear what he was saying.

I just saw Father Raphael's expression change several times.

After hurriedly looking at the plank, Father Raphael looked at the fisherman seriously: "Where did you come from?" ”

Grimm instinctively realized something, and quickly explained: "It was fished from the sea when I was fishing. ”

"Inside the Sea"

Father Raphael's brow furrowed deeply, and he ordered not to tell anyone else, and left with the plank.

What heresy did Green vaguely hear him say?

Without listening, his son rushed towards him.

"Daddy!"

The son excitedly raised the honey candy in his hand: "Look! This was awarded to me by the Dean! ”

The plank thing is left behind.

Green asked his son in surprise.

The son said that he was doing well in literacy, and the dean noticed him, asked him to take the "hymn", and then rewarded him with a honey candy.

"My son is awesome!"

The fisherman carefully wiped his hand on his clothes and touched the child's hair, his face full of joy.

Happily returning home, the fisherman picked up his son and quickened his pace when he met some fanatical believers on the way.

Behind him came a frenzied shout: "The bodies of these heretical priests must be dug up and burned!" ”

"Burn! Burn! Burn! ”

"Boom!"

The firelight flickered.

The neighbor's body was simply collected and buried, and the newly formed family of five continued their lives.

It's a little harder, but it's just an extra net of fish.

And the son is getting better and better, and he is often rewarded with honey candy from the abbot, and he knows to give them to eat.

He didn't eat it, he gave it all to Sanna.

But Sanna hid it: "It's okay to leave it alone, I'll eat it later." ”

The fisherman thought to himself, "Soon, I will be able to buy honey for Sanna, and then I can taste the sweetness of honey to my heart's content." ”

As his savings grew, the fisherman was counting when he would be able to buy honey when he received bad news: there was a tax on fishing.

Green couldn't help but ask, "Why?!" ”

The tax officer's attitude is not bad: "In order to prevent someone from getting sick in winter, the lord needs to prepare more honey and Aiou sugar, which is all for everyone's sake, and if you pay more taxes, you can see a doctor cheaply." ”

"You just pay more taxes, you are more tired, and you won't die if you're tired, but if you get sick, it's easy to die!"

"How to choose, everyone should know it, right?"

In any case, the lord's decision has been made.

The life of a fisherman has become more difficult, and the growth of savings has become slower, but he can still live, that is, he has to catch fish later, and he has to pick up his son later, and what can he do in the monastery.

Until one day, when the fisherman had just returned to the dock, suddenly someone called out to him, saying that your son had fallen into the well of the monastery.

The fisherman didn't understand what it meant.

Fall? What is Drop? Fell into a well?

The brain was still dazed, and the body had rushed out, and the legs were so strong that they were like a cow, so that the person who reported the news had to run after him.

Running all the way to the monastery, he saw a circle of people.

From between people's legs, see the familiar Iolan.

This color is what Sanna liked at first sight.

She said that she wanted to go to the monastery and not let other children look down on her.

Pick it up and put it down at the market, put it down and pick it up again, and finally the husband and wife make up their minds together to let the child wear this color.

This color used to look like the sky, but now it looks like a muddy mire.

He put his arms around the child and leaned his son's head on his shoulder, but he could not stand it, and his head always drooped.

Leaning on and leaning on

In the end, he used his broad hand to press on the child's head so hard for the first time, and wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

Until a hand pressed on his shoulder, it was Father Raphael: "I'm sorry. ”

The fisherman looked at him blankly, and saw sadness and anger on his face.

Why the anger?

I don't know how long it took for him to have the strength to staggered away with his son in his arms.

Father Raphael watched his back in silence, remembering what a senior scholar had said.

"You are a poor child from a poor family, and if the priest notices you, it will be a great thing."

"He asks you to collect the hymns and take out the garbage or something, and you feel valued, like God is asking you to help."

"You thought it was a little weird when he told you color jokes, but now you have a secret with him, so you let him go."

"He shows you color pictures, and you let him do it."

Until one day he went further. You have no way out. He has brought you up to maturity, so how can you say no to God? ”

"In the long river of human history, the truth is difficult to be discovered because it is as heavy as gold, and it always sinks to the bottom of the river, and only those fallacies as light as cow dung float on it and flood everywhere."

"A person who has a very clear concept of right and wrong will be very uncomfortable when he sees it, and if he wants to change but can't change it, it will be even more uncomfortable, except for putting pressure and burden on himself and causing unnecessary trouble to himself, there is no benefit at all."

"Smart people, living too clearly is painful."

"There's nothing wrong with being confused, Raphael."

I just couldn't do it, I just couldn't bear it, so I returned to my hometown.

Father Raphael clenched his fists, his chest clogged.

Obviously returned to his hometown with the idea of changing his hometown, and Mingming's hard work to help many people, but now he can't even protect a child

"Father, do you know about the Iodis?"

Suddenly there was a voice in my ears.

Before he could react, a piece of paper was stuffed into his hand.

Father Raphael turned his head sharply, and there was only a whispering crowd, not the person who had just spoken.

He raised his hand, and it was an Io piece of paper, starting with a poem.

Darkness harvests people's sweat before the sickle.

Under the new roof is the foundation that I hope to pour.

The longhouse that never sleeps, and the only generous thing is the colorful candle flame.

People in long robes, dragging the shadow of fear, the advancing collective does not allow a break from independence.

In this land of humility, youth, love, and hope are openly traded.

Wait, wait for future generations to pick up this ruin.

Wait, wait for the questioning of the next era.

"Mom, I miss you"

Father Raphael jerked away the paper, turned and walked into the convent, and pushed open the abbot's door.

All he got was a perfunctory reception from the dean.

Annoyed by what he said, the dean said, "Did you take Io's 50 silver coins?" ”

"If you confiscate it, don't say anything slanderous to the church, and be careful that I judge you for heresy."

"By the way, recently many people have been distributing leaflets everywhere, all of which are heretical doctrines and are still slandering our teachings."

The dean picked up the leaflet and read it casually.

"What is the complaint of natural disasters to avoid death, the pope calls, the king calls, the religion loves the country, and the voice goes into the ruins. A million people cried together, even if they were ghosts, they were happy. ”

"The silver eagle chariot saves the calf, Paul on the left, Charlie on the right, the Father is in great love, and it is enough to experience death. I just hope that there is a screen in front of the grave, watching the Olympics, and cheering together. ”

"Good poetry can be appreciated."

The dean sighed: "There is a saying above that is good, the fellow opens the door, your poem has won an award." ”

"And this one."

"Born in sorrow, die in peace."

"It's too good for him, and if you're not careful, you still have to suffer them again."

"According to my calculations, if I have a salary of 2 yuan a week, I am much more comfortable living than if I have a triple-A in Io."

"If they suffer hard, they can buy more honey and Io sugar for Heavenly Father."

"Look, if it weren't for the fact that Io was selling so expensive, would I have done this?"

"Facts aside, isn't Io responsible?"

Father Raphael angrily pushed the door and left.

Bang!

Sanna fell to the ground.

She was sick, very sick.

The fisherman hurriedly helped his wife to the bed and wanted to go to the doctor.

The doctor came and said he wanted 50 silver coins.

"It's just that it's cheap to see a doctor, and medicine still costs money."

The doctor smiled and said: "You also know, I am an ancestral barber, my skills are very exquisite, I can help remove moles, skin tumors and other things on the patient's body, and the high cost of medical skills is a little higher, which is normal." ”

The fisherman gritted his teeth and took out all his savings.

"The human body is composed of four kinds of body fluids: blood, mucus, yellow bile, and black bile, because these four substances are in different proportions in different human bodies, so it causes people to have different personalities and different temperaments, and the reason why people get sick is due to the imbalance of four kinds of body fluids.

"Huh? Is this honey candy? ”

As the proportions were being calculated, a piece of candy fell from Sanna's pocket.

The fisherman subconsciously took the sugar in his hand and watched the barber doctor decide where to let the blood be released through the astrological ascendant of the disease, the patient's zodiac, and the position of the planets.

While he was still calculating, Father Raphael came: "I studied at the Salerno Medical College, I don't need you to treat me!" ”

Ignorant and backward medieval medicine hung like a huge dark cloud over Europe, but there was still a dawn that stubbornly broke through the clouds and shone through, that is, the Salerno Medical College in southern Italy.

Father Raphael chased away the doctor and got the money back for him, prescribing medicine out of his own pocket to cure Sanna.

Green breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize the honey candy he was clutching in his hand.

He subconsciously shouted, "Son, come."

He was stunned.

He remembered that his son had been buried in the ground.

He ate the candy.

Eat slowly and chew slowly, bite by bite.

He didn't know what sugar tasted like, but he knew his son did.

"Green."

Father Raphael exhaled a turbid breath: "The man was saved, but not completely. ”

"The conditions are too rudimentary, the medicine is too small, if you can go to the Salerno Medical College, there is still a way to completely cure it, but"

"But Italy is too far away from Denmark."

The fisherman took it and said numbly, "Thank you, Father, you have done your best." ”

Looking at the fisherman's numb expression, Father Raphael thought of a sentence written on the paper: how desperate it is to continue to endure the darkness after seeing the light.

I'll review it in a week."

Father Raphael went back.

On the way back, I was stuffed with paper again.

This time he didn't go looking for anyone again.

When I returned to the house, I was about to light the candle, but I remembered the fisherman's numb face.

Father Raphael moved his fingers, and finally took the paper, and carefully crouched in the corner of the dean's room, taking advantage of the bright light in the dean's room, and looked at it carefully.

"What exists in the church is a gap in demand, and it is the soil for the existence of middlemen."

"What needs?"

"It is the demand of the masses to defend their rights when their private rights are infringed, the demand for private lending and finance, the demand for social security, pension, childcare and funeral, the demand for fairness and justice when encountering disputes, and even the need to participate in politics in public affairs and collective affairs."

"This group is the group that least understands love and lacks the most love."

"If you just outlaw the middlemen, instead of addressing the demand, it can be a big problem."

"This huge hole is right there."

"To eliminate the happiness of the masses' fantasies, it is necessary to take the realization of happiness in reality as the premise."

"If the royal power is strong and the grassroots organization is perfect, the clerical power will weaken."

"If the royal power does not flourish, the grassroots organizations collapse, and the corners are neglected, these massively localized social services are taken over by religious organizations, and the aristocracy will naturally be strongly influenced by the church."

"This is the will of the people, and it is also the power of the people. The latter is even more important. ”

"Since ancient times, it has never been those who win the hearts of the people who win the world, but those who win the people's strength win the world."

"This people's power, you can be (1) probation, (2) deceived and fooled, (3) forced out, or even (4) robbed and killed."

"For example, the Roman joke: Feed the cat candy."

"If you are good to the cat and let it trust you, educate it to eat candy and be good to it, and influence it to eat sugar, then you are (1)"

"If you mix cat food with sugar and trick it into eating it together, then you are (2)"

"If you rub sugar on a cat's ass and force it to lick the sugar, then you're (3)"

"If you pry its mouth open, the disobedient cat is slaughtered, the obedient candy-eating cat stays and breeds offspring, and the artificially bred selection breeds a candy-loving cat, then you are (4)"

"Winning the hearts of the people but not the power of the people is equivalent to having 10 million active believers, but they don't accept advertisements, don't bring goods, don't endorse and don't show up."

"That's why idealists fail in the end, and it's hard to achieve a utopia of happiness for all."

"Winning the people's power and losing the hearts of the people is equivalent to constantly pulling people to be downline, although the reputation is very stinky, except for your own henchmen, no one likes you, but you can make a lot of money."

"Therefore, the people's will is only one of the means, and the people's power is the ultimate goal."

"But the people's power obtained by coercion and inducement is never as good as winning the hearts and minds of the people."

"In Rome, some people took advantage of their positions, and after obtaining the position of governor of the province, they used the army equipped in their province to rob the allies of the Romans."

"For example, the uncle and father-in-law of the famous Mark Anthony, Gaius. Anthony. Hiblida. ”

"During his time as governor of Macedonia, he robbed Rome of its allies many times."

"How did his Macedonian governor come about? It was Cicero, his fellow consul, who gave it to him. ”

"The most immoral is Crassus."

"Because the management of Rome was very chaotic, Crassus funded the establishment of a fire department, and whenever there was a fire, his fire brigade would go to the place where the fire broke out, and then sit on the ground and raise the price, and watch the house be burned to the ground without paying, and then Crassus bought the land at a very low price, and then repaired the land and sold it at a high price."

"There is also a shop, not allowed to be accepted, and the equipment room is required to be replaced with a Class II door, which is actually a Class II door mark, and a standard of 2,000 Sesteti."

"Fire protection will never make you fully qualified, there will always be something for you to change. If there is really a fire in these places, it is because your rectification has not been completed, not that they have not done a good job in acceptance. ”

"Because the fire code written by Crassus is not 100% for you to achieve, or how to find your fault if something happens."

"During Crassus's land sales career, one of the mansions sold for 3.5 million Sesteti, who was the buyer? Cicero. ”

"Where did Cicero get all that money? He borrowed it. ”

"Who borrowed it? The one above Silbulida. ”

"This is the kind of Rome, in 417 A.D., the Gothic army led by Alaric captured the city of Rome, he and his army were all Roman citizens, and the barbarian city defenders who watched from the side of the city were also Roman citizens."

"The barbarian slaves who secretly opened the gates of the city in the dark had no citizenship, but they were also Roman slaves."

"The barbarians plundered the treasures of the Roman nobles, drank their precious wine, and burned it for six days and six nights."

"The barbarians, in the Senate, made the Roman nobles watch their wives and daughters being discouraged, and then dismembered them."

"These Germans, Goths, Gauls, Vandals, were the second-class people of Rome, who farmed and fought for the first-class people of Rome, who ate pig and dog food and did cattle and horses, and when Rome declined, they raised their butcher's knives against their benefactors."

"These existing class, race, and regional contradictions are one of the difficulties in gaining the support and strength of the people."

"In Io, everyone is a child of Io, and they share a welfare system."

Father Raphael looked very seriously.

Until a voice came from overhead: "Father Raphael, you take heresy very seriously." ”

Bang!

Without talking, the dean directly arrested Raphael and tried him on charges of heresy!

Green, who was waiting for Father Raphael's review, got the news that the priest was locked up in a dungeon.

Heresy: He suddenly remembered the original wood chips.

Looking at Sanna's sick face, the fisherman's foolish brain spun so fast for the first time.

"Hospital. Hospital to the West! ”

"But is that true? Father Raphael knows for sure! ”

"I can't just watch him die."

The fisherman has a decision.

He entrusted his two adopted sons to a friend, made a rough plan, and then set out to do it at night.

Late at night.

For some reason, the prison guards were dozing off and accidentally dropped the key on the ground.

The fisherman rescued Father Raphael in a daze.

Thank you

Raphael had a warm current in his heart.

He thought of the people's will on paper, and thought of the words full of wisdom on paper: for topics that require complex logical analysis, as well as rich information collection and knowledge accumulation, the masses will be limited.

The bottom of a society is often the majority, and the majority of the people who make up the bottom enjoy very limited angles and heights, and their emotions are extreme, and sometimes the results are stupid.

But as long as you are by their side, they all know whose restaurant tastes good and whose restaurant tastes bad.

The eyes of the masses are bright.

The masses are very clear about who is on their side, who defends their interests, and who is deceiving and persecuting them.

Then the fisherman asked, "Father, can the hospital on the west side save my wife?" ”

Father Raphael said firmly: "Yes! ”

"The sea is not covered."

"Go to sea, go west!"

Carrying a fisherman who wanted to save his wife, and a priest who wanted to find his noble ideals, the fishing boat sailed to the west.

Call~

The sails are puffed up.

In the captain's room, Surrey opened his notebook and began to write the journal requested by the Sage.

"I, Surrey, Fleet Commander of the Exploration Fleet, to the most exalted, the most illustrious, the greatest Sage."

"In the summer of the first year of the new calendar, His Majesty ended the Norwegian Wars and concluded an agreement with Olaf III under the Hussite fortress of Bergen."

"I have witnessed the raising of the flag of Io on the land of Norway."

"I witnessed the A-flag flying high on the mast of the North Sea fleet."

"I have witnessed countless nobles kneeling in front of me with tears in their eyes and repenting of the past."

"I have witnessed the persecuted sons of Io reborn with human dignity, food and clothing, and happiness for all."

"I'm incredibly sure we're in the midst of a great cause!"

"When a person has ideals, expectations and hopes, and when he has the beautiful goals he is pursuing, life is meaningful, and it is no longer just about living."

"In the second year of the new calendar, not long after the New Year's celebration, the Sage gave me an ideal."

He said that now is the world is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment, and we are facing great changes unseen in a century.

"Such a great change is not a change in one event, one region and one country, but a change in the world, the times, and history."

"Change is an irreversible historical trend, and we can only live up to the times and live up to the sons of Io!"

"Great changes bring great challenges, but also great opportunities."

"The Sage has ordered me and Ted to lead a fleet all the way west."

"Take the hitherto unknown sea routes, discover strange worlds, learn about their rulers, their subjects, their native people, and all other things, and convert their people to believe in our Lord."

"The Sage also promised me a heavy reward, giving me the honorary middle name of Ted 'Feng'!"

"In the Norse tribe, there is a proverb: no one can live a lifetime without anything happening."

Ted and I excitedly agreed.

"January 12, the second year of the new calendar."

"The sailing flotilla loaded with supplies and crews left the port of Kirkenes."

"Lift anchor and depart from the port, ride the cold wind, go where we should be, deliver the credentials of the Holy One to the kings there, and fulfill all the missions that the Holy One has commanded me to do."

"To this end, I will carefully record all the things I have done, experienced, seen and will see on this journey."

"According to the requirements of the Holy One, I am not only to write down all that I have done during the day, and to take note of the voyages of the night during the day, but also to draw up a new nautical chart, which will show the exact position and orientation of all the seas and the lands in the seas, and to compile an all-encompassing book giving the latitude of the equator and the longitude of the west, and above all that I should devote myself to the voyage without sleep or food, for the cause requires me to do so."

"As hard as it is, everything grinds and no amount of difficulty eventually turns into delicious flour!"

"The sail is the wings of the ship, and the ideal is the wings of the man."

"The Valkyrie carried our dreams and set sail to a new route."

"In the second year of the new calendar, January 15, a tailwind."

"I watched the huge humpback whales leap out of the water and then plunge into the water, making a jubilant splash, and the whole process was breathtaking."

"Ted drew this, and it's ugly."

"I probably know where the twisted monsters of myths and legends came from."

"In the second year of the new calendar, January 22, there was a tailwind, cloudy with light rain."

"The new sailboats are fast, new tools such as octatons are very useful, and the fleet has accurate directions, and they can already see Iceland."

"According to the ancient Irish legend Imram Melduin, a man named Melduin sailed to a group of mountainous islands where glaciers and volcanoes coexist, like an island of ice and fire, and a bowl-shaped highland, and the island was full of chirping, noisy and rapping birds."

"There are a lot of birds in Iceland. The fleet has a technical team from the University of Sankore. ”

"They say that the total distance from the Sea at the End of the World to Iceland is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the improved Valkyrie class can sail about 100 kilometers a day, and it only takes 10 days to arrive."

"As they said, the fleet arrived in Iceland the same day and encountered fishing boats."

"After a friendly exchange of ballistas, we learned about the history of Icelanders from the fisherman."

"The honor of discovering Iceland belongs to two people who arrived there at the same time."

"One of them, Nadojuer, was blown northwest by a storm on his way from Norway to the Faroe Islands, and finally found a piece of land crisscrossed by ravines, which was some fjord in eastern Iceland."

"He couldn't find people anywhere, and he turned the wheel and sailed to the Faroe Islands without wintering."

"The other is the Swede Gardalsvarsson, who suffered the same fate on a voyage from Denmark to the Hebrides and was drifted under a mountain corner in the southeast of Iceland."

"He wintered in Husavík on the north coast, then sailed along the coast and came to the reliable conclusion that the New World was an island."

"Both navigators gave names to the New World."

"One called it Snelland because it was snowing when he came back."

"The other named Gardar Island after himself."

"It's still the Sage who said Iceland is good."

"With the enthusiasm of the ballista, the Icelanders happily accepted the new name."

"As a result of the blonde king's persecution, more than 3,500 Norwegian immigrants set up 1,500 farms in Iceland, and each family basically had their own land."

"The technical team of Sankore University said that Iceland is a volcanic island country with complex geological structure, the land is glacial, close to the polar circle, the temperature is low, the climate is cold and harsh, the island is full of volcanic rocks, the types of rocks are not suitable for agricultural cultivation, arable land is very scarce, and agricultural development is facing great difficulties."

"Probably because of this, there is no king in Iceland, only the law."

"As the sage said, productivity determines the superstructure."

"The farms, large and small, are connected to each other, and the people are divided into 39 clans, tribes, and 13 districts according to their blood and geography, and the 39 chiefs are naturally born among the people, neither permanently nor by blood."

"The chieftain cannot act as recklessly as the feudal lords of continental Europe, because if the common people think that the local chief cannot solve the problems they are experiencing, it is easy for them to take refuge with other chiefs in the vicinity, and if a chief cannot prove that he is capable of doing things, he will quickly lose popular support, and his title will become worthless and easily replaced by others."

"They also set up the framework of a parliamentary body, the Icelandic Parliament, also known as Alting, where the chiefs gathered in the regional councils replicated the tradition of village assemblies in Norway in the past, and sent a man named Ulfjotl back to Norway to systematically study law, and after three years of research in Norway before returning to Iceland, the formal National Assembly was established."

"In his honour, the first law enacted by Parliament was named the Ulfyotel Law, and every year in June, people and chiefs come from all over the island to attend a two-week public meeting to discuss the law and try the case."

"This place is cold and dreamy, it really feels like being at the end of the world, glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, glacial lakes, ice caps, volcanic rock deserts, waterfalls, craters, crater lakes, etc.

"I prefer to document useful resources that college students find more than they do about the people."

"There are deposits of sulfur, lignite, bauxite, marble and limestone."

"The college students also found a gold mine! However, it is too difficult to mine, and it will not be possible for a few years. ”

"If you want to develop, you need more people."

"It's not suitable for agriculture, but it's good for animal husbandry, because there's a lot of moss, and some animals that are tolerant of rough feeding, have a miscellaneous diet, and eat dead grass and moss under the snow, are suitable for raising in Iceland."

"Icelanders also say that Icelandic moss is a cure."

"A medical student said that this is not actually moss, it is a kind of shrub lichen, it is a combination of fungi and algae, and it can treat colds, coughs and other health problems.

"I think if the Sage sees it, he will definitely be very happy, and it will stimulate women to spend money (cross out)"

"Oh, it's good that the Sage isn't here. The Sage sent a telegram asking me to continue to open up the African market after I returned? (crossed out)"

"The fishing grounds here are very good, with salmon, Atlantic cod, Atlantic redfish, rainbow trout and Arctic shrimp."

"I took out the fish cakes, exchanged them with the Icelanders, and with their help I set up my first overseas base."

"There are so many hot springs in this place, Icelanders say there are more than 200, and there is a vast area of fountains near the settlements alone, and there are hot springs everywhere, and the heat is like smoke."

"This endless black plain, with a heavenly river of silver and crystal glacier on one side and a steaming geothermal fountain on the other, makes you feel like you have reached the end of the world. This is still written by college students. ”

"All in all, after an unforgettable half a month in Iceland, the exploration fleet set sail again."

"February 16, the second year of the new calendar."

"We have discovered what the Sage said about Greenland!"

"There are fewer people on the island than in Iceland, but there are more resources, but it's the same problem, it's very difficult to develop."

"After spending three days of replenishment and resting, we continued our journey."

"February 20, the second year of the new calendar."

"The sailors lost patience and complained that the journey was too long."

"I tried to comfort them."

"Fortunately, at this time, the power of the Sage came, and the sailors settled down again."

"February 25, 2nd year of the new calendar."

"Someone has died again."

"In the second year of the new calendar, March 1st, late at night."

The sailors on the watchtower shouted hoarsely.

"The crew of the fleet woke up, and we gathered on deck, singing and dancing to celebrate the exciting news."

"The fleet put away all the sails and let the ship approach slowly, waiting until dawn the next day, when it finally reached land."

"Drop the anchor, get on the boat, and we landed on the land of the New World with our weapons."

"We kneel on the ground and kiss this newfound land, thank the Sage, we are still alive!"

"Chasing the sun, we have finally fulfilled our dream and discovered a new continent!"

"There's been a lot going on this voyage, and I don't know how to write it."

"The passion for the sea, the trust in friends, and the joy of chasing the unknown."

"Adventure, deceit, righteousness, betrayal, blood and tears. When I retire and write down the story, it will definitely become a favorite hero biography for children, and I must not let Ted's drawings pollute my story! ”

"But before the story, let me cheer."

Sarri put down his pen, his voice resonating with the cheers of the sailors.

It was a hail for the accomplishment of the noblest ideals.

"Long live the Son of Io!"

"Long live His Majesty Albert!"

Mecklenburg, the merchants of the Hanseatic guild cheered.

There was a flame of greed burning in their eyes.

When France was mired in war, the Germanic princes became independent.

Otto the Great, the co-ruler of the Germanic region, focused on his old rival Charlemagne.

It was also because the royal power was tilted on the edge of Germany and France, the control of the northern regions weakened, and the phenomenon of privatization of public power appeared, and the royal power became a weak and solemn phantom.

The Germanic princes of the north exercised various privileges in their respective domains, established their courts and held the highest judicial power, they granted fiefdoms and privileges to their supporters, and they levied taxes and levies in their territories, making them their own kings.

This is like a beehive without symmetry, where the states and provinces are isolated from each other, and the people live in feudal hives where all political, economic, and social events take place.

The isolation of political geography and chaotic feudal conflicts led to a rude, barbaric and warlike era, where robbers and gangs extorted and plundered, and feudal lords often fought privately over land and vassals.

In this context, as trade in the Rhine valley became active, the center of gravity of foreign trade gradually expanded to the Baltic region, and the various merchant organizations in the Rhine region cooperated with each other to safeguard common interests, and formed alliances with Lübeck and other North German cities that controlled Baltic trade to protect against robbers and pirates and ensure the safety of trade.

As a result, the Hanseatic guild was formed, and its influence grew.

At first, it was self-preservation.

Soon afterward, there was a shift from the suppression of piracy, the fight against pillage, and the abolition of unreasonable taxes to protect commerce, to the expansion of commercial power abroad, the monopoly of commercial interests, and the suppression of commercial competition from German cities outside the Allies, as well as from England, Northern Europe, and Flanders proper.

This time, they were driven by strong economic interests, and they jumped out of the Bishop of Bremen and the Marquis Albert of Mecklenburg, and went north to intervene in the battle for the Swedish throne claim.

The aim was to expand the Hanseatic guild's control over trade in the Baltic and North Seas, as well as over Scandinavian politics.

As long as the war starts, it is best to win.

Hanseatic merchants would dominate trade with the Levant, Venice, Spain, France, and England in wood, fur, grain, honey, and with Northern Europe in copper, iron, and other fields, in exchange for spices, medicines, fruits, wine, and cotton.

You can earn even if you lose.

When the time comes, it can be provided to the princes to borrow money, so that the princes can continue to wage wars, and spend money to buy one concession after another!

As for the people?

What about the merchants of the Hanseatic guilds!

"Trade is everything!"

"We neither fight nor steal, we do not live by plundering."

"When we have enough wealth, even the Emperor's crown will be mortgaged to our Hanseatic merchants in exchange for loans!"

"We will win the respect of all Europe by commerce and force!"

Looking at the armies that were leaving, the Hanseatic merchants were ambitious.

Little people, despair, hope, faith, freedom, heresy, adventurers, lofty ideals, despicable desires, mercantilism.

Their simultaneous existence shapes this ordinary world.

Thanks to the 100 tip of 'Half Leaf 82'.

The head of the writing hurts, first send it and then change it.

The king's royal family members have both his relatives and his own soldiers, who are responsible for defending and fighting, and the king also provides them with the necessities of life.

Among these officials, the palace was in charge of the king's chambers and cloves, which contained the king's clothes and chests, and kept valuables.

including the king's treasures, money, books, documents, etc.

With the gradual multiplicity of the king's goods, the brocade library appeared, and it became one of the royal departments.

The English etymology of the brocade library comes from Latin, translated as wardrobe, which was the place where the kings of the Middle Ages stored their robes and other clothes, and also stored some of the king's valuables.

As a result, the Brocade Treasury became an important treasure trove for the king, storing not only fur robes and other clothing, but also the king's curiosities, gold and silver coins, and expensive furniture, as well as books such as poetry and knights, royal family credentials, rosters, and diplomatic documents.

There are also positions of authority such as wardrobe supervisors.
