Chapter 1774: Name the cat

In addition to using the church's wealth and talents to form a hospital, Marin also has an unspeakable plan to make the church spit out some land through intervention in the church's wealth, so that the priests will not be too moist.

Know that, at present, even if the Beihai Kingdom cooperates with Bishop Conrad to seize the land of the church, 20% of the cultivated land is still in the hands of the church. The current arable land in Beihai is 12 million mu, that is to say, 2.4 million arable land is under the control of the church. The military nobles under Marin, including some Junker landlords, together accounted for 30% of the country's arable land (the other half belonged to Marin).

Moreover, on the land of these churches, many peasants are **** on the land and can only contribute to the church, but not benefit Marin and Beihai.

Therefore, Marin intends to take advantage of the relationship between the current and next pope and himself. In a few years, he will try to reorganize the property resources of the Beihai State Church and let the church spit out half of the cultivated land, that is, about 1.2 million mu.

Of course, it is not that Marin is greedy for these lands, but hopes that the farmers on the 1.2 million mu of land will be liberated to a certain extent. Then, free up to serve for yourself.

Know that working in Marin ’s manor and working in the church ’s manor are two different things. Under Marin's compulsory requirements, not only the manor under Marin's own name was more friendly to serfs, but he also provided enough food, and even distributed clothing and salted fish. Even, in the future, it is planned to promote children to drink milk and goat milk.

But the church ’s manor is different. The church in this year is very corrupt. The church ’s duties are all publicly bought with money. The church ’s top management is all corrupt.

Among them, the high-level like Archbishop Taylor will put pressure on the bishops and monasteries below to "give up" themselves. The bishops and monasteries of the districts pressed down to the next level to apportion these burdens. Finally, it is naturally assigned to the lower missionaries who are responsible for the management of the lowest manor.

These low-level priests who personally manage the manor are often older and hopelessly promoted within the church. Because these people have no hope of their future, they often act arbitrarily. Anyway, the future is gone, then make money ...

Therefore, in time, Marin also provided fertilizer to the church's manor in his country, so that the church's cultivated land per mu has reached more than 400 pounds. However, in the end, the church manor was still very harsh towards farmers. At most, it is better than before.

In the past, because the yield per mu was only about 100 pounds, and more than half of the church had to be taken away, the serf of the church manor had a miserable life at that time, and even the black loaf mixed with mud and stones could not be eaten. Bitter rye porridge with wild vegetables, leaves and grass roots. Moreover, it is very rare.

After Marin promoted new fertilizers and plowing plows, the church actually improved the treatment of serfs on the church estate. But, it's just, black bread. It should be noted that the serf they sent to the serf eat a low-profile version of "Kohler bread", that is, brown bread mixed with straw bran.

According to the initial requirements of Marin, "Kohler Bread" must not contain more than 30% straw bran, that is, the content of straw bran must be less than 30%. Later, with the increasing storage of rye in the North Sea, Marin couldn't help lowering the proportion of straw bran of the "Kohler Bread". Now, in the Marin manor, the black bread sent to the serfs was already free of straw bran. At most, the rye's bran was not removed, but it was ground together to make bread. This may seem a bit stingy, but in fact Marin knows that bran is also very nutritious. Therefore, he is not a mistreatment of the people.

Many of the military aristocrats under Marin gave up the black bread for the serf and mixed it with straw bran. Only those stingy aristocrats and the old aristocratic families in Bremen still insisted on sending them to the serf. Bread is mixed with straw bran within 30% to make more profits.

But the manor in the name of the church, Marin could not control. Because the church is not part of the Beihai administrative system, and Marin cannot force the church's people.

Even Archbishop Taylor, the highest bishop in the North Sea, could not control the priests under the rule to reduce the exploitation of farmers.

Or, if people join the church, they are here to make money, can you control it? Unless, like the afterlife, fighting tigers every day, to deter everyone. But the church in this year was extremely corrupt, even if Archbishop Taylor issued an order every day, what should we do next?

For example, Archbishop Taylor has ordered that the content of straw bran in the "Kohler Bread" issued to serfs in the church manor should not exceed 30%, which is in line with the secular manor of Beihai Kingdom. But in fact, the content of straw bran distributed to the serfs in the Beihai Kingdom Church Manor was stable at about half. However, when reporting underneath, the calculations are based on 30% straw. In other words, the remaining 20% ​​of the rye was greedy by the bottom priest ...

For this phenomenon, Marin is helpless. Because he can draw swords against other princes, but he can't be rude to the church people. Even if there is a very evil and brutal scum inside the church, Marin can only report it to Rome. After obtaining the permission of the Holy See, he can use the hands of Archbishop Taylor to solve it, instead of eradicating it by himself.

Therefore, Marin very much hopes to personally interfere in the management of the church land. For example, when repairing a hospital, he overspended on purpose. What if I overrun? Selling point emergency chant ...

Then, Marin poured his left hand to his right and paid for part of the church ’s land, including the serfs trapped on the land ...

As long as 10% of the cultivated land can be taken from the domestic church, it is equivalent to taking nearly 200,000 peasants from the church, which means a lot to Marin.

Even, Marin intends to find ways to recruit Slav farmers in the future to replace the German farmers under the control of the church. In this way, Marin can be transferred from the church to a total of 300,000 to 400,000 German farmers. These populations, whether it is developing native or developing America, are of great benefit ...

Uh ...

But those are secondary and are things that need to be resolved in the future. Moreover, only slowly. After all, the Holy See also needs face. If you bully the Beihai State Church too hard, it will cause the Beihai State priest to make trouble, and the Holy See will not come to Taiwan. Therefore, Marin can only slowly engage in this matter, which will take many years. The most important thing is to get control of the Beihai Kingdom Church. Then you can raise the knife to cut the meat ...

And now, Marin's "Salvation Knights" started, the most important thing is not how to count the churches in the country, but first to gain a reputation and get recognition and praise from all over Europe. In this way, future work can continue. Otherwise, it is easy to be black. After all, the wealth of the church can be used. This is too enviable and jealous ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ As the head of the North Sea State, Marin, what is the first thing to do now? Name the cat!

Throughout the Middle Ages, cats were regarded as an unknown and catastrophic incarnation in Europe, and were expelled and even killed by people. When Marin traversed the earliest, he couldn't even find a cat cub to catch. He could only run to the grass near the Frisian fishing village on the North Sea to catch the stray cat.

Because cats love to eat fish, and the fishing villages on the north coast often bask in salted fish, it has become a place where stray cats like to stay. In the inland areas, most of the places are basically extinct because cats are regarded as unknown incarnations.

Later, Marin used stray cats caught near the fishing village in the North Sea to breed a large number of cats and distributed them to each sea boat to avoid rats on the boat and avoid plague (black plague) or something. There are also many cats in the city.

But except for some people who are loyal to Marin and listen to Marin, most people in Beihai still have doubts about cats. They dare not raise cats and are afraid of bringing bad luck.

And taking advantage of the establishment of the "Save the Knights", Marin decided to give the monarchs and envoys of all countries here the science of the source of the black death and the importance of keeping cats.

If the cat is successfully renamed, then the mouse will be a man with his tail in the future ... No, it ’s a mouse ... The Black Death (plague) or something will be greatly reduced. And this also happens to be the business scope of "Salvation Knights" ...
