Chapter 654, Unknown Signs
() "Not only all nobles have to pay, but no one dares to play tricks." Ryan said meaningfully: "This kind of tax is paid by everyone consciously, and it is compulsory."
Alfred thought about it for a while. He first thought about the special culture of the Knight Kingdom, and then thought about the difference between the Empire and Brittania. He soon had the answer in his mind: "Could it be... Church of the Lady of the Lake?" tithes?"
"Haha~ That's right, it's the tithe of the Lady Church." Ryan nodded with a smile, and he looked at the gloomy sky: "No one dares to discount this tax or evade it. Everyone is paying the tax seriously. From the family of the Duke of Bastogne, the direct descendants of the first knight king Arthur, down to the little nobles in the remotest mountains of Carcassonne, they all pay tithes steadily, so whether the whole kingdom is prosperous or declining, ma'am Church income will not be affected much.”
"His Royal Highness the Witch of the Lake God will use the money to train the Prophet of the Lake God and pay maintenance fees for the Holy Grail Knights, build new shrines and churches, and at the same time use part of it to give relief to the victims, because this is the lady's money and Ms. Supervising, no one dares to deceive or play tricks on this matter, as much as is required.” Ryan said softly: “Therefore, the entire Britannia can persist for a thousand years.”
"No one person or church in the empire can do this." Alfred also sighed: "Even Emperor Karl Franz and Archbishop Vicmar couldn't do it."
There is no way, my Great Britannia only has national conditions here, Ryan and Callard smiled at each other, Britannia lags behind the Empire in many places, but it does not mean that the whole country has no merits .
As far as the collection of the church's tithe is concerned, the Church of the Fairy in the Lake really made all the nobles realize their self-consciousness.
Not consciously, the lake god witch Morgiana can directly bypass the kingdom's court and attack the nobles. Not only can she directly and unilaterally announce the abolition of the title of nobility, she can even directly turn knights into frogs, or send Holy Grail knights Rushed into the noble territory and took people away directly.
Because of this, nobles sometimes not only pay tithes steadily, but sometimes pay extra to ensure that there will be no problems.
The same is true for the merchants. Now the merchants doing business in Brittania know that the Church of the Fairy of the Lake cannot be offended. For example, Oliver, a subordinate of Ryan, has donated a lot to the Church of the Fairy of the Lake. With Oliver taking the lead, the merchants I also understand that you have to make money and donate money, otherwise the goddess will not reason with you.
After the donations were made and the tithes were paid, Ryan managed to "convince" Morgiana and wrote a sign to the Oliver Chamber of Commerce, "Paying Taxes Gloriously". With this sign, it will be easier for the Oliver Chamber of Commerce to deal with nobles in the Knight Kingdom up.
To some extent, this is a kind of tax package system. Of course, Ryan knows that the tax package system has many disadvantages, but there is no way to do it. Before the Fairy in the Lake Church cultivates officials responsible for tax collection, it can only be transitioned in this way.
With the supervision of the goddess, there is no need to worry about the nobles and the rich trying to evade taxes all day long. Therefore, Ryan has never dared and will not touch the tithes of the fairies in the lake. This means that he has reached out to his most solid base , It also means losing the support of the goddess, and it also means that without the supervision of the goddess, the nobles in the entire kingdom will no longer pay taxes honestly.
"Now the annual tithe is a grand scene." Callard said with a rare smile when talking about this incident, and he said with some joy: "The cartloads of grain were transported into the church and handed over to the trustworthy The Knights of the Holy Grail or the Prophet of the Lake God will store these grains, and whenever there is a shortage or a famine, they will take the initiative to help the victims, and the serfs at least have a guaranteed life."
"In addition, the engineers of our dwarf friends, the Angrund clan, have undertaken a large number of water conservancy projects and irrigation projects. The serfs no longer need to carry water from the river. Sometimes I really admire those dwarves." Karard Then he said: "There are also advanced farm tools, which make farming much faster."
"Oh? Our Holy Grail Knight, Lord Karard, will also go to the countryside to see how the serfs live?" Ryan joked.
"I'm also a person who has experienced the Holy Grail expedition, and it's not that I don't know the sufferings of the people." Callard shrugged with some dissatisfaction. He ignored his sleeves being wet by the rain, and emphasized: "I just don't know how to solve these problems. It has been a thousand years, and now you can appear, I am very happy, and I support you."
Ryan sighed softly, and he looked at the banks of the Riker River: "What I did before was only to ease the conflict between nobles and serfs, I didn't fundamentally solve the problem of the kingdom. "
"Well." Alfred agreed with this, and this is what the Templar Commander and the Patriarch wanted to hear: "Good friend, tell me, how do you plan to completely solve the problem of Britannia's serfdom?"
"It's impossible to solve this completely." Ryan shook his head again and again, and he said helplessly: "Just like how to solve the problem of paying taxes for the rich, this is a worldwide problem. Normally, the money of the rich is as long as It is through legal and reasonable income, so there is no reason to force them to distribute their wealth to the poor, but at least, I have figured out a way."
"What way?" Now Alfred and Callard are interested.
"Serf household registration redemption system." Ryan raised his head.
"Serf household registration redemption system?" Alfred thought carefully: "You mean, serfs pay money to their lords...to redeem their serf status, and become free people from then on?"
"In general." Ryan nodded, his expression did not change much: "Of course, I need to discuss with Her Highness Morgana and the dukes separately on how to implement it, but this is necessary, and the only way to let go Only the serfs' upward ladder and ascending channel can liberate productivity."
"At the same time, I am going to promote knights from the old guards. Many old guards have made great achievements in this Nur battle. I plan to promote at least 30 old guards to become knights." Ryan stretched out his hand gently Caressing the wooden railing that was wet by rain, he said seriously: "It's time, take advantage of this, I want to set the rules as soon as possible."
"Well, the serfs participated in the conscripts to become conscripts or semi-professional infantry, and then promoted soldiers to become sergeants, among the sergeants, the elite were promoted to become old guards, and among the old guards, those who were outstanding were promoted to be awarded the title of knight." Karard touched Looking at his goatee, he thought for a moment and then nodded again and again: "Good! Just because these soldiers have experienced many battles, the knights will not particularly object. Your old guards have followed you in countless battles. , You have made great achievements in battle, and if you promote someone from among them to become a knight, the opposition from the upper nobles of the kingdom will definitely not be loud, and you can also get the support of all the soldiers."
"You are always thinking about things so carefully, good friend." Alfred thought about it carefully, and the Templar Commander smiled: "There is a channel to join the nobles, and the serfs have at least pursued it."
"It's not that easy. We'll wait until I return to Musillon to hold the Duke's Conference." Ryan shook his head: "By the way, Alfred, when do you plan to marry that female Norse?"
"Oh?!" Alfred was taken aback, he said hesitantly: "Why... suddenly speaking of this, Ingrid and I are innocent, nothing happened!"
"Nothing happened, you will always take her with you? And take her to see Archbishop Vicmar?" Ryan joked about Alfred: "Don't lie to me, Alfred, I know you too well gone."
"Single means that I can reserve the right to pursue any type of lady." Alfred scratched his blond hair with some embarrassment. He neither agreed nor opposed, and muttered that there was no rush , Look again after a while, his tangled look made Ryan and Callard couldn't help laughing.
"And you, Karard!" Ryan immediately pointed the finger at Karard again: "The lady made you a Holy Grail Knight, not making you a bachelor!"
"I'll let it be." Callard's smile froze on his face, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "After a series of things, it's hard for me to bring up any enthusiasm now."
"...But you are the only one left in your family's lineage. Someone must inherit your title?" Ryan could only smile wryly after hearing this. Karard has indeed experienced a lot: "Not to mention, De Wenxi I can't live without a godmother, can I?"
Callard could only agree: "I will remember what Sir Ryan said, and I will pay attention to it later."
"Well, that's good." Ryan could only persuade in this way, everyone is an adult.
"Rest early, Ah Fu, Karad."
"yes!"
……… I am the dividing line for urging marriage………
"Lian Malcador, kill, mine, God's Chosen, champion! Can't bear it, can't bear it!"
"He killed me too!"
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If you hadn't sent Ku-Gaz to disrupt my plan, I would have succeeded long ago!"
"Shut up! It's all your fault!"
"I think what he did is pleasing, and the defeat is really interesting, especially you idiots accusing each other, tsk tsk, it's really intoxicating, let's do it a few more times, oh ho ho ho~"
"Get out, you junkie!"
In the realm of chaos, a fierce quarrel is erupting.
Just like the never-ending war in the realm of chaos, at this moment, Khorne's blood and fire demon army is attacking Tzeentch's Crystal Labyrinth under the leadership of Kabanha, the number one demon under the seat of Khorne. The strange demon army is attacking Nurgle's Rotten Garden under the leadership of Tzeentch's Eternal Watcher Sassoril, and Nurgle's Rotten Garden has fewer troops at this time because Nurgle's Rotten Plague Army is attacking Slaanesh's rampage Fortress, Slaanesh's army, led by the Great Demon Keeper of Slaanesh, was fighting Nurgle's army in the Valley of Creation for a long time, and both sides suffered numerous casualties.
While the subordinates were fighting, the four gods of chaos were discussing what to do next.
"Ryan Machado is a huge threat, we must kill this threat!"
"We should jointly bless an Eternal God Chosen and let him lead our army to destroy the world!"
"Biggest, blessing? This is so exciting!"
"Archaon? No, he is indeed a great champion, but he is not yet reassuring, and still lacks one thing." From Nurgle's domain, bursts of spray Dense Fog: "I propose that my new chosen champion, Plague Doctor, Festus, come and take on this important task."
"No! Absolutely! Don't even think about it!" A furious voice kept roaring: "I think this important task should be done by Valkia! Only she can complete this great mission!"
"Valkia? Shit, who doesn't know that she is your wife? The wife of the blood god?" A harsh voice screamed: "I think it can only be my God's chosen champion, Cha- Zan Aike can bring these stupid and cowardly southerners the final outcome!"
"Hmm~ It's really interesting, then I also propose that my God's Choice champion Prince Sigwald will be happy to accept this task, hehehe~"
After a long time of quarreling in the realm of chaos, the four voices could not reach an agreement. Each of them recommended their own believers, their own God's Chosen, and dismissed others' God's Chosen.
At this moment, the bitter voice suddenly realized something: "What?!"
"It's the Pale Queen! That coward!" The mature and charming voice with a strange tone is not surprising: "That coward has always been able to do this, sneaking in sneakily, stealing the soul of one or two elves before I can react, and then Run away like a stray dog, what a vile thief!"
"Humph!"
The sounds of quarreling in the chaotic space are still going on, their voices are gradually going away, going away, and then there is a complete darkness, falling suddenly, falling crazily in the endless space, covered by all twisted and crazy subspace creations end of sight.
"Huh!" The dark elf Olika woke up suddenly from her sleep, she was gasping for breath, Ryan's personal maid felt her heart was beating extremely fast, so fast that she was still gasping for breath. A sense of suffocation: "Huh~ha, huh~huh~"
Olika took a few deep breaths before recovering. She found herself lying on a big soft bed, wearing a white nightgown and a pair of white velvet suspenders on her legs. The dark elf's black hair hung down from his shoulders and back, and the dark elf found that his back was already drenched with sweat.
The amber eyes rolled around in the cabin, and the dark elf wondered where he was?
Gradually, memories came flooding back, and she remembered that the master was already on his way back to Britannia, and she was now in the cabin on the passenger ship, and she would arrive in Moussillon in about two weeks.
"Olika, what's the matter?" The dark elf's startled movement attracted Ryan's attention. He hurried over, put his coat on Olika's delicate and smooth shoulders, held her in his arms, and caressed her Her back: "It's okay, I'm here, is it a nightmare?"
"Master~" The dark elf leaned on Ryan's chest with some attachment, she took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat, and then hurriedly said: "It's not good, master, what you have done has attracted the attention of the four gods of chaos !"
"You are being watched!"
