The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, along with the Papal Instructions, there was also a licensing decree. This licensing decree is that Julius II approved the previous Marin's request to fix the tithe at 90 pounds per acre (equivalent to 15 pounds per acre) in the areas under the control of Marin, such as East Friesland. .

At the same time, Julius II also agreed to the plan proposed by Marin to temporarily divide the Bishopric of Münster from north to south. The South Münster area levied tithes according to the old standard until the death of Bishop Conrad, and Marin took over. to the South Münster area. The North Munster area, starting next year's fall harvest, will start collecting at a fixed rate of 90 pounds per acre.

In fact, it is very disadvantageous for ordinary farmland to be expropriated according to this standard. Because more than half of the arable land in Europe does not meet the standard of 150 pounds per mu.

However, Julius II lived in the counties of East Friesland for a long time and knew that Marin had mastered the mysterious fertilizer technology, which could increase the grain production several times. And most of his son-in-law's wealth came from this. Even, it can be said that the position of the pope was also paid for by the son-in-law.

Marin asked for a fixed rate of tithing, and Julius II knew very well that this was to avoid real tithes and to legally evade taxes. However, as his old husband, he definitely wants to help. And, by the looks of it, Marlin isn't doing a bad job, giving it a high standard of 90 pounds per acre. Even if the secret of the doubling of Marin's agricultural output is discovered one day, it doesn't matter. As for the fixed tax rate, it is a reward for Marin's credit, and it will not be cancelled if it is given. Otherwise, it seems that the Holy See is unbelievable...

With the Pope's permission decree, Marin was relieved. Because, in the future, you can legally evade taxes, and no one can say that they are not.

...

As for the group of abbots who went to Rome to complain, Julius II directly took out the method of the staff who wrote letters and visits in later generations - persuading with good words, but not accepting the complaint...

In the end, Julius II even acted as a mediator, with a face like "a kind old uncle next door", persuading the abbots not to fall out with their superiors...

These abbots who complained were fooled by the "amiable" Julius II, and they were sent back to Germany in a carriage without understanding what was going on. After getting on the carriage, they woke up - this time Rome came in vain...

Then, they also realized that the Pope is supporting Bishop Conrad, and the efforts of himself and others are meaningless...

What they did not expect, however, was that after they had gone to Rome, Bishop Conrad had already laid hands on their monastery lands. These abbots who went to Rome to complain, the land of the monastery where they were,

Most of the cultivated land was divided by Bishop Conrad, leaving only a small part of the land that was only enough for the teachers in the monastery to eat and drink. In the future, the teachers of these monasteries will have a hard time, and they will not be able to be as dashing as before...

...

Many of the employees of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce branch in London, England were spies sent by Marin. In the name of doing business, they speak Frisian, which is very close to English, and it is easy to mix into the British folk to inquire about all kinds of news.

The whole of England is now mobilized for war against Ireland. Every day, the various counties send out carriages to bring all kinds of supplies into the city of London and hand them over to the royal family for use by the army.

The staff of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, on the streets of London, silently watched the actions of the British, and at the same time, secretly wrote down everything and wrote them into the report...

On this day, Kane and Robbie, employees of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, were sitting on a table outside the door of a pub in London drinking low-quality beer. Suddenly, there was a tremor from the ground. Kane and Robbie looked up and saw a wagon come into view. The two of them suddenly had a big mouth:

"God, what is this?" Kane was shocked.

As for Robbie on the side, it was not much better. After seeing this carriage, he was so frightened that his beer mug almost fell to the ground.

"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so... huge?"

At this moment, a local British businessman laughed at the wine table next door;

"Haha, boy, do you look silly? This is not a monster, but our Lincolnshire specialty - the English horse!"

"England Malaysia? It's really big enough... The shoulder height is 2 meters..." Kane murmured.

Because Marin was promoting the new weights and measures in East Frisland, as employees and spies of the literate North Sea Chamber of Commerce, Kane and Robbie apparently knew about the new weights and measures, too, and used them regularly.

"meter?" Apparently, meter is a new word that the British haven't heard of. So, the British businessman from Lincolnshire didn't understand what the concept of 2 meters was.

Kane reacted quickly and explained:

"It's like 6.56 feet."

"Oh, say it earlier, say it with human standards earlier, and I won't understand it..." The British businessman from Lincolnshire said carelessly.

"By the way, what's the origin of this big English horse? Why is it so huge? If the knights and gentlemen ride on it, wouldn't it be dead majestic?" Kane pretended to be a little white and began to talk.

However, what he said was really consistent with his thoughts. In Kane's view, such a mighty and majestic horse must have a high load capacity. It must be very easy to carry a knight wearing a set of plate armor. If the introduction of East Frisian, then Marin will certainly reward him and Robbie.

"Haha, boy, you don't know anything, right?"

Kane was stunned for a moment--isn't what he said wrong? Such a large and strong horse is suitable for carrying knights. He had seen just now that the great English horse was pulling with ease a huge four-wheeled carriage full of cargo. Normally, it would take two horses to pull it.

"Boy, if you invite me for a drink, I'll tell you the reason why this kind of horse is not suitable for a knight's war horse." The British businessman said proudly.

Kane and Robbie are eager to know the details of this giant horse, and naturally they will not be stingy. So the two asked the Lincolnshire businessman a big glass of draught beer that had not yet tasted.

After a glass of draft beer, the British businessman from Lincolnshire said:

"This kind of horse, although it is huge and powerful. However, because it is too huge, the whole horse looks a bit clumsy. So, don't look at this kind of horse's size and strength, but when it runs, its speed is not high. Not fast. A knight's warhorse, in addition to requiring strength, also needs fast speed. When charging, it naturally pays attention to speed. This kind of horse has power but lacks speed, so it is not suitable for war horses. However, it is used to Pulling a cart is definitely a good hand! Therefore, this kind of horse is the best pulling horse, but it is not suitable for a war horse!"

"So, do these horses generally have such a height?" Robbie asked cautiously.

"Of course there are plenty of horses of that height in our Lincolnshire."

...

Although they knew that this kind of horse is not suitable for war horses, Kane and Robbie still wrote the information of this heavy horse in the report and sent it back to East Frisian. Then, it was caught in the British intelligence and sent to the city of Munster.

Marin did not leave during this time, but continued to stay in Münster with the army to supervise the division and transfer of land. However, he also kept an eye on the war situation in England, and read the information sent by England every day. Coincidentally, he saw Kane and Robbie's report that day...

"In England, the shoulder height is generally about 2 meters...I'm going, isn't this Sharma?" Marin suddenly remembered that this is the famous Sharma in later generations.

In the past, Marin also planned to introduce Shire Malin to pull heavy artillery. However, since he had been busy with other things, he had forgotten about it. It happened that Kane and Robbie's information came over, and he remembered that he really needed to introduce this kind of heavy horse to transport heavy artillery.

Horses like the Sharma have no other advantages except their strength. According to the information of later generations, this kind of horse can pull 5 tons of beer on a single horse. Of course, that was on the highways of the afterlife. If you are on a dirt road with high resistance, you can only pull two or three tons of cargo.

But it doesn't matter, the heavy artillery in the Marin army, even the heavy naval artillery, only weighs two tons.

Therefore, Marin immediately issued an order - by Kane and Robbie, to fully acquire the strong and tall stallions and mares of the non-neutered English horses, and introduce them to East Frisian for breeding and breeding. In addition, Kane and Robbie were rewarded with 500 gold coins each for discovering that this kind of good horse had meritorious deeds...
