The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Vol 4 Chapter 1492: Squirrel's Wool

The wheel of history is turning vigorously, sometimes rolling up from the ditch on the left side of the road, and then rolling into the ditch on the right.

Charles used Greenland to go to the subordinates of Brother Su, and then the excited monks made supplies near what is now Liverpool and sailed north, and finally came to Iceland by accident.

Because a certain person built a small hot spring holiday house in Iceland, the island was not drawn on the map for Su Ge.

As a result, Charles and Diana were enjoying the hot springs one day when they heard a large group of people singing "Hallelujah" in the distance.

The monks saw the steam rising from the surrounding hot springs and smelled the faint smell of sulfur, and agreed that this was the gate from **** to the world.

And when they came here, it was Brother Su's will, to guard the gate of the world to defend against the attack of the devil.

At this time, Brother Su's subordinates were still very simple, enterprising and sacrificial.

A few missionaries stayed behind to "watch hell," while others returned to the helm to report on the situation.

When the second Sugomen disembarking fleet replenished supplies on the Liverpool side and was about to head to the "Gate of Hell", little Arthur was experiencing the first time in his life to participate in a national event.

The content of the negotiation stunned Charles and Diana, and almost asked her which year she came back from.

This matter has to start from two years ago. Charles told her that the greatest kindness of the king is to feed everyone, and little Arthur remembered it.

In the past two years, the trial of four-bed crop rotation in Sir Eckert's territory has been relatively successful. In the first year, soybeans, turnips and alfalfa varieties suitable for the local climate were selected. The second year's crops harvested much more than before.

The sheep on Charles' side gained a lot of weight after they had enough grass and turnips, produced more milk, and the survival rate of the lambs also improved a lot. The two leaders who were strengthened by magic in the first three days were knocked over. over King Uther.

Little Arthur went to ask a few farmers, and asked them how much food their family had to eat in a year to be full, how much they would get in a year, and how much tax they had to pay in a year.

After she asked about the numbers, she added and subtracted, and found that there was still a lot of surplus after subtracting the amount of food from the family's farming harvest.

Then she came up with a tax method: after the farmer's income is deducted from the satiating harvest, the remainder is used as the basis for the tax.

Charles and Diana rubbed her little head together, not expecting that she would come up with such a plan.

They can't tell how this plan will turn out, so let little Arthur try it.

After Sir Eckert and the others returned from selecting their respective warhorses, the bruised and bruised muscled heads were in the stone house listening to little Arthur introducing his tax plan.

Blackboard chalk or something was easy to solve. Little Arthur stood on the stake in front of the blackboard, writing calculations and introducing his solution, until a grunt interrupted her.

It's okay for you to talk to those muscular heads about drinking and fighting, but talking to them about all kinds of calculations, just lying on the big stump table and sleeping without running away is already because of the newly acquired warhorse.

Especially when these guys were drunk and bragging yesterday, they were thrown into the sheepfold by Charles and didn't sleep well all night.

Little Arthur saw that no one cared about him, his nose was sour, he cried out with a "wow", ran into the stone house and threw himself into Diana's arms.

After a while, Diana came out angrily, glanced at the seemingly empty space not far from the table, and threw all the sleeping guys into the river.

Merlin and King Uther, who were invisible, shrank their necks, ran carefully to the back of the house, and found Charles who was working.

As the saying goes, a good horse comes with a good saddle, and Charles made some good pieces of wood to make saddles for those guys who were thrashing in the river.

Charles smiled at the two of them, and Merlin knew that he had been discovered again.

Merlin lifted the invisibility magic and asked him curiously, "How did you know I came here?"

Charles pointed to the position under King Uther's feet, and Merlin followed his fingers and understood.

The grass on the ground was trampled and bent.

After King Uther appeared, he sighed: "Your eyes are like eagles in the sky."

Charles smiled and replied: "We magicians must maintain a keen insight in order to discover the truth of the matter."

Then he asked again: "I heard that the church fleet is going to the gate of **** again?"

King Uther replied: "Yes, this time I want to ask you for advice. The church wants us to go with you."

He was a little uncertain about this requirement of the church, whether to go or not, and how many people would go, this is a question.

Charles thought about it for a while. It was necessary to go, and it was considered a certificate of admission, but it was impossible to invest too much manpower and material resources.

The environment in Iceland is harsh, and the few monks who stayed would have died last winter if they had not discovered Charles' hot spring hut and ate moss to satisfy their hunger.

Charles thought for a moment and said, "Since God has given you the Holy Shield, he wants you to be a shield against attacks."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Merlin. Merlin was puzzled at first, and then suddenly became enlightened.

Merlin does not believe in God, and even if there is, he is at most a magician stronger than Charles, which can be seen from the magic traces left on the so-called holy shield.

Since this is the case, why not take the opportunity to scour Brother Su's wool.

Charles saw that he understood, and continued: "You can confer some knights first, and then send them to the gate of **** to guard, and change batches in three years."

"This time, we can also send a few shepherds and horsemen, with sheep and horses, and spinners and looms."

"If there are craftsmen who can build boats and fishermen who go out to sea, go there too."

"Now that the gates of **** have not been opened, establishing a stronghold there is the most important thing."

King Uther looked at Merlin after listening, and Merlin nodded to him.

Then he asked Charles, "You taught what Arthur said just now?"

Charles sighed, "Not really."

"I have to say, Arthur is a genius."

"The horses have the strength to plow the fields when they are full, the soldiers have the strength to fight when they are full, and the farmers have the strength to work when they are full. This is the same principle."

"Furthermore, the farmers usually eat a lot and have more strength. When they are fighting, they will have more strength than the enemy's soldiers when they recruit soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ King Uther is not a fool, but he is not beyond the understanding of this era. Their group of landlords still levied heavy taxes and hard labor on the peasants.

It doesn't seem to be a problem if the farmer can do more by feeding more like a horse.

At the same time, they are also slave owners, those slaves, on the same level as the sheep in the sheepfold.

Charles and Diana, after arguing several times about the issue of slaves, reached a consensus that they should not be rushed. The current reform of the fief system needs a stable environment, and Arthur will solve it when the reform is mature.

However, they are not optimistic that serfdom will gradually develop after a hundred years. This is a historical trend. It will not collapse until the development of productive forces and the formation of a commodity economy. The Black Death was the catalyst for this process.

At this time, King Uther seemed to suddenly remember something, and he asked Charles: "The church is going to run schools in all towns, what do you think?"

Charles sighed, and this was the most heated debate between him and Diana when they discussed the introduction of Sugo Tong.
