Chapter 765

The Viscount of tieleburg has been a little fidgety lately.

Tiele family has only a short history of several decades with iron thorn as its family emblem. Among a group of nobles, it is a newcomer to the circle.

However, by following the conquering king for half of his life and making a lot of contributions, the father of the contemporary Viscount tieleburg, an original coachman, became the legend of a general and was generously canonized by the conquering king. He rewarded tieleburg and a piece of coastal territory to him and won the Viscount's high position.

The old groom immediately expressed his gratitude and swore that the whole family and its descendants would always be loyal to the conqueror and shed the last drop of blood for him.

But when the new vicomte tieleburg took over, he found an obvious defect in his own territory.

Poor! It's too poor!

Because it is close to the sea, even though the fiefdom is larger than that of the ordinary Viscount, most of it is saline alkali land that can not be cultivated, so it is difficult to get harvest.

And how many fishermen in fishing villages?

The liquidity is too strong. Apart from imposing a tax when they sell fish, they can't even collect the usual head tax. After all, they are all on board. When they are really in a hurry, they leave. The Viscount of tieleburg really has no good way except to stare.

Of course, even so, he did not mean to give up this territory and rights.

In order to fight for this piece of property, he and his two half brothers both broke their heads, and now they almost become enemies who will be red eyed when they meet.

The only thing he wants to do is collect taxes! Collect more taxes and invest in the business of Wangdu!

The whole continent of Searle has been peaceful for 50 years, and the prosperity it has produced is beyond the imagination of the people who lived here before.

Anyway, the Viscount of tieleburg was completely shocked by the prosperity and the land price of every inch of land after he went to the capital once.

Although he looks like a local tyrant in the countryside, he is a poor man after going to Wangdu!

This sense of gap, on the contrary, even more stimulated his desire to work hard.

When can I buy a luxury house on the conqueror's road of the Kingdom, and open the door every day to see the blue castle, where your Majesty's palace is? That's almost glorious, isn't it?

Unfortunately, viscount tieleburg knew that he was far from this ideal.

"Viscount!"

At this time, wearing a tuxedo, his silver hair was carefully combed, and the old housekeeper with a bow tie at the neckline came quickly and saluted elegantly: "bishop Melk, please

"Bishop Melk?"

The Viscount of tieleburg muttered: "are these sticks coming to raise money again? Oh, my God, I was killed by them at the new year's celebration, but they still didn't let me go... "

"As far as I can see, the bishop doesn't seem to be doing it for the sake of it!"

The housekeeper replied solemnly.

"That's good. Invite him to the living room."

Hearing that there was no need for his wallet to bleed, the Viscount replied cheerfully.

"All right!"

The housekeeper gave a bitter smile to himself and turned away.

It was not long before the Viscount of tierburg met bishop Merkel in the drawing room.

He is a middle-aged man with a solemn face. He sews the robe meticulously, and the gold thread embroidered on his underwear can be seen.

"Bishop Melk! I wonder why you came to see me today? "

The housekeeper brought two cups of black tea and dismissed him with a look of eyes. The Viscount of tieleburg exchanged greetings and finally got to the point.

"Our church has found Heretics in your territory!"

Bishop Melk is serious.

"Pagan? It's impossible. There won't be any believers of evil gods or worshippers of demons among my people! "

The Viscount of tierburg immediately said sternly, and looked at bishop Melk with a little resistance and malice: "this antique, don't you know what time it is?"

Since the conquest King revised the doctrines and made God and man belong to God and man, the influence of the church on the secular world has been decreasing with each passing day.

This naturally caused a lot of old-fashioned heartache. The so-called search for heretics or something is a kind of negative confrontation they have made.

However, even if the heresy was confirmed, because the church had no law enforcement power, it still had to consult the Lord Viscount tieleburg.

And the Viscount has taken bishop Melk for blackmail.

After all, it is also a scandal for the Lord. If it is spread, it will be bad for his reputation, especially when he has just inherited the title and has two covetous brothers.

"Leading the people?"

Bishop Melk was stunned and immediately laughed: "Viscount, I think you misunderstood that those pagans are not your leaders, but a group of devil believers from hell in a huge ship!"

"Devil believers?"

The Viscount doubted that it was just a group of ordinary sea merchants who were slandered for not giving enough money to the bishop.

"Yes, believers of the devil!"

This time bishop Melk made a firm answer: "because the color of their hair and pupils is pure darkness... The color of the devil!"

"All right!"

The Viscount shrugged.

In this rural area, he has some insight. Naturally, he knows that the races in the kingdom are not the same, and there are subtle differences.

For example, the color of pupils is wine red, sky blue and even silver white. The Storm Warriors in storm corner are famous for their blood red pupils. It is said that this is the influence of their blood.

However, the whole kingdom has never heard of people whose hair color and pupils are pure black.

Just imagine, the Viscount couldn't help stirring up his spirits.

"And... They've entered your territory illegally and haven't paid you any duty yet!"

Bishop Melk naturally knew what kind of person the Viscount was, and immediately grasped the key: "without your master's consent, they would tempt your people with gold and silver to trade with them without paying a copper tax!"

"That's right!"

Hearing the words such as gold and silver, the Viscount's breath became heavy: "these sea merchants... No, Pagans! Are they rich? "

"That's for sure!"

Bishop Melk replied without hesitation, "they're driving a big boat, about three stories high!"

"A three story boat? That's almost the standard for imperial warships, isn't it? "

The Viscount tieleburg recalled the shock of seeing warships in feicui harbor. A kind of greed emerged in his heart and spread.

……

At this time, the treasure ship being discussed by the viscount and the bishop was moored outside a small fishing village.

The captain Zhang Fan is looking at everything in the new world with curious eyes

A low, dilapidated fishing village.

The fisherman in ragged clothes and covered with wind and frost, and the naked children running around in the mud

"Alas... People's livelihood is really difficult. Even the most destitute fishermen in China's coastal areas live much better than them?"

After a long time, Zhang Fan sighed leisurely.

"My Lord, the information has been collected almost."

At this time, one of his subordinates sprinkled a handful of sugar with a smile. Only then did he get away from the encirclement of those naked fishermen and children and come up to report the situation.

"It's called the land of Searle. It's said that it's ruled by a powerful king, the elder, the blue dragon, William Wallace."

"In this country, there is a system of enfeoffment. There are princes, uncles, male knights and six rank barons. They are all real enfeoffments..."

"It has a vast area, which can be divided into five parts, with Fengying plain as the center..."

……

"The layers of enfeoffment, each other overhead?"

After some information was finished, the magician beside him just laughed: "so you are not afraid of the disaster of the separatist regime? As early as 800 years ago, the Empire abolished the real seal, and only the income of the fief was converted into the principal of the salary... In this way, the power of the place could be collected, so as to avoid being too big to lose! "

"One side of the soil, one side of the people!"

But Zhang Fan didn't think much of this: "I heard that western countries seem to do the same thing. It seems that maybe this continent is still our world..."

He also thought of going home, and naturally didn't want to wander in a different world.

After all, in addition to those immortal mages who have great powers, there are very few experts who can travel in different worlds.

Once exiled in a different world, the hope of going back is really slim.

Speaking of this, the magician's look also became confused: "my Lord, I have other discoveries."

"In recent days, I have been watching the stars at night. Although I have found many strange star fields, there are also some of them, which are very familiar with the twenty eight constellations and the zodiac palace... In addition, several low-level priests on board, especially the Master Zhu of Mazu, can sense the power of the goddess. All these show that we are still in the original world, but it seems that there are changes again..."

He felt his forehead, obviously very distressed.

After all, the promotion of the universe, the expansion of the world, for him, it is too profound knowledge.

Want to understand this? First go back to study hard for 100 years, and then upgrade to jinxianxian!

"Although this place is barren, it seems that there are some business opportunities... Let's take a rest for a few days, replenish food and water, and then walk along the coastline..."

Zhang Fan said, his eyes showed a hint of mystery: "no, you can go to Fengying plain to see the style of the conquering king!"

"Well? My Lord, do you want to... "

The surgeon turned his eyes as if he had guessed something.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Fan complacent smile: "those foreign barbarians used to fake envoys, plead tribute, and take advantage of the boss from the Empire... Some even once again, again and again, insatiable, today we will do the same, how about?"

In this era, there are actually no good people who dare to go out to sea to earn a living.

Even in Wu Ming's previous life, the era of great navigation in the west, at the beginning, those ships were almost concentration camps for scum from all countries. For the sake of interests, there was nothing they did not dare to do.
