Chapter 175: Three or Two Things Within the Family
Except for a few woods from time to time, there are few large forests on the Crimean Plain.
Even the woods are only stored where the river passes, and a few meandering patches grow around the river.
The white clouds floating in the sky have not changed for thousands of years, and because the Crimean is inland, the warm and humid air currents from the ocean rarely interfere here, but the cold currents from the north are always visiting. But fortunately, in the western part of the Roland Continent, there are few continuous towering mountains, and the warm and humid air currents can barely reach it, and the southern part of the Crimean is bordered by a small ocean, which can occasionally be shaded by a little light rain.
And because the plains of Crimea are crossed by various natural rivers, and the soil is rich in organic matter, the crops grow very well. Moreover, just what I saw along the way in Chunan, there were many artificially dug canals, which were specially used for irrigation water.
It can be called a plain or a steppe, because it can be met by both planting and grazing the Crimean area. Along the way, there were many people riding tall horses and driving sheep.
Farmers work in intersecting fields, and villages are scattered. The smiles on the faces of the farmers, the laughter of the children. The peasants of the Crimean region lived a paradise life compared to the serfs of the Rus' Empire, a neighboring northern country that was subject to various exorbitant taxes.
Even the peasants in other parts of the HRE Empire did not have the freedom that the peasants in the Crimean region wanted, on the one hand, because most of the peasants in the HRE Empire belonged to the minor nobles and knights, and there was no right to personal freedom at all. Another aspect: In order to build the Crimean region, the previous generations of Salama spent a lot of money. It became a land of abundance, and the most valuable thing was the establishment of an effective bureaucratic system, not a feudal system within the HRE Empire. The emperor's decree simply cannot be carried out in the state!
The Hohenstaufen family has really invested heavily in building this place.
"This is not something that the Hohenstaufen family built. Oyeni said from the side.
Don't look at Eugenie as a young girl, but in terms of some relevant knowledge about the Roland continent, Eugenie is definitely not inferior to anyone. As a killer, Eugenie has a variety of knowledge to master.
"Didn't the Hohenstaufen family build this place, or did the locals work on their own?"
Chu Nan would not think that the people of this era were all children of workers and peasants who were full of enthusiasm for construction.
"One thing that must be made clear about the Great Family, even within the Great Family there are various factions, and because of the disunity and weakness of the family, the division of this faction is becoming more and more obvious. ”
"Isn't the Habsburg family very united? Even if the territory is spread over the entire Roland continent and is not connected to each other, it can still be called a common family head. "The Habsburgs as a behemoth. On the one hand, because of its widespread power, and on the other hand, because of its internal unity, this familial unity has been in vain to the effective bureaucracy of an empire.
"When a family is on the rise, it's always going to be like that. It can be said that the unity of the family promotes the rise of strength, and the rise of strength strengthens the unity of the family. The Habsburg family is now in full swing, and it is impossible for the family to show signs of splitting, and every head of the Habsburg family is a genius......" After Chu Nan's explanation before, Eugeni also understood Nia's identity, a victim of the new generation of Habsburg family heads. It is the most critical factor for the next generation of the whole family.
The birth of one genius needs to stifle another genius and use it to consolidate the unity of the entire family. This is really normal for a large family.
"Do you mean that the Crimean region, though nominally the joint property of the Hohenstaufen family, is only the private property of the Shalama line?" Chu Nan didn't have any good way to comfort her, after all, even Chu Nan himself was still depressed.
Groups of herdsmen rode past the convoy on tall horses, all looking at the convoy in front of them with curious expressions. Since they had entered the Crimean region, the carriage was decorated with the coat of arms of the Hohenstaufen family.
As the children of the Hohenstaufen family, how could they not know the coat of arms of the Hohenstaufen family.
As a lord of the Crimean region. The Hohenstaufen family has a wide range of popular support, not to mention anything else. The Hohenstaufen family's various measures to cherish and develop the people's power are enough to satisfy the people.
The people of this age are easily satisfied, and this is determined by the productive forces and the relations of production. Fortunately, Salama's branch does not rely on the harvest of the territory to live and die, and the wealth and wealth channels accumulated over several generations have made it possible for them not to rely too much on the people's taxes!
Caring for the people's strength, coupled with the extremely favorable agricultural conditions in the Crimean region, although the development history is shorter than that of other areas on the Roland continent, the population supported is rising.
"The city of Crimea has arrived. The coachman in the convoy shouted. The speed of the carriage began to slow down.
The center of the entire Crimean region, the city of Krim, is also the largest property of the Shalama family for many years.
A city that was not majestic and majestic, but huge was displayed in front of Chu Nan.
The walls of Crimean City are not high, only less than ten meters high, and they can be easily built by cloud ladders, which is not a grade compared to Sacred Heart City, which is the center of the eastern province, and the rulers of the past generations have attached great importance to the reinforcement of Sacred Heart City. Over time, the city of the Sacred Heart was fortified into a city that was difficult to attack.
Although the outer periphery of Crimean City is weaker than Sacred Heart City in terms of the city walls as a whole, the overall area of the entire city is not inferior to Sacred Heart City, and even exceeds it by a lot!
However, it is no wonder that in the Crimean region, a new area centered on agriculture, the city of Crimea can be called the only city, and it is natural that it has developed extremely quickly.
And judging from the walking in the past few days, the policy of the Salama family towards merchants is extremely attentive, and the roads are full of caravans, and there are no soldiers to collect taxes for no reason.
As we all know, the prosperity of a city is not determined by the heat of the superstructure or the agricultural population of the non-urban city. It is made possible by the merchants, by the burgher class! Only such a city can be sustained! (To be continued......
