Chapter 255： Jointly dig the corner of the church (on)

Having figured everything out, that night, Bishop Conrad put on an ordinary black monk's robe, buttoned the hair on his head, so that people could not see themselves, and took a few bodyguards, quietly from the Ming At the back door of Stirling Cathedral, he went to Marin's residence to conduct a negotiation.

After arriving at the temporary governor's house where Marin was located, Bishop Conrad was quickly invited into the room with Marin.

"Don't let anyone come near!" Marin told Sauer before entering the secret room.

"Yes!"

The nearby personnel were quickly evacuated, and of course, the security on the periphery was tightened. Malin did n’t want to make the mistake that Wu Sangui emptied the backyard in the Star Lord ’s version of “Lu Ding Ji 2”, which resulted in Doron mixing in. Fortunately, Dulong is a tease, and if he is a killer, then it will be fun.

"Welcome you, Bishop Conrad, how about it, think of it?" Marin lifted the freshly-fired teapot on the side and poured a cup of "Earl Milk Tea" to Bishop Conrad himself, and then poured himself again A glass.

Bishop Conrad was not in a hurry to answer Marin's question. The matter had reached this point, but there was no need to hurry. Moreover, on the negotiating table, whoever is in a hurry is disadvantaged.

I saw that he picked up the cup and took a sip of "Count milk tea" without hesitation, and then his eyes brightened:

"It's a delicious drink. May I ask the Earl, what kind of drink is this?"

Marin did not worry that Bishop Conrad was in the right position. The two worlds are human, he is no longer a frivolous boy. So he explained patiently:

"It ’s called milk tea, and it ’s made from oriental tea leaves, mixed with milk and sucrose. The individual tea leaves have a bitter taste and are not in line with European dietary habits. However, adding milk and sucrose will make it suitable for Europeans, even The best drinks for people all over the world. "

"Oh, I heard that recently in the courts of Poland, Lithuania and Bohemia, a drink called 'Earl Milk Tea' is popular, is this the case?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, I invented this milk tea. At the beginning, I went to Lithuania to visit, and Duke Alexander took out the tea to entertain me. I invented this drinking method on the spot. Because I am an earl, so I called Earl's milk tea '. "Marin shamelessly took the invention of this British milk tea as his own. Of course, because the time is more than two hundred years ahead of time, no one will hold him accountable for piracy.

"You are a genius!" Bishop Conrad praised.

"A new dietary formula is just a trail." Marin pretended indifferently.

...

The two sides have been talking about each other for a long time. Marin was not in a hurry at all, because now it is himself who is taking the initiative. Bishop Conrad wants to retain the 10,000 Ugram's fields of interest, and even wants to continue to manage the South Münster area, he must bow his head. Otherwise, he can only be a bishop of a powerless worldly kingdom. Moreover, the interests of the 10,000 Ugram's profit field, which is of great interest, will be lost.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Bishop Conrad finally couldn't sit still. After all, he came to Marin to negotiate, not to talk nonsense. So, he finally cut into the theme:

"Master Marin, you sent me a letter during the day saying that you intend to cooperate with me?"

"Yes, I want to work with you. And, we should also work together, don't we?" Marin accompanied Bishop Conrad for an hour or two, and was a little impatient and spoke much more directly.

"Oh, Master Marin, although you have become a secular lord of the Bishop of Münster. However, you have not been able to own the products of the Eucalyptus of Bishop of Münster. So you need my help, right? "

Although he was in a hurry, the cunning Bishop Conrad replied ironically, claiming that he wanted Marlin for himself. In this way, it is also conducive to bargaining. After all, the position of asking and being asked is very different in negotiation.

"Really? I remember, as a lord, I have the right to forcibly redeem the 50,000 non-church and non-noble land of the south of Münster, right?"

Malin Ke did not get used to him, and directly pointed out the profit field of 50,000 Ugram. If he really bought the profit field of 50,000 Ugram, the loss of Bishop Conrad would be great. After all, that's a huge annual income of 70,000 or 80,000 coins.

Bishop Conrad was choked, and his momentum suddenly weakened. However, he still refused to lose:

"So, although you have taken over the Bishop of Münster, you can only get the 50,000 Ugram's cultivated land!"

"Oh, Bishop Conrad, do you mean that if I work with you, I can get more fields than 50,000 Ugram?"

"Well, why do you ask for some reason? When I die, the 50,000 Ugram land will still fall into your hands. Now, as much land as I transfer from the church to you, you will get as much land as possible."

"So, how much land can you give me?" Marin asked directly.

"The church properties of 20,000 Ugram in North Münster are all for you, including the control of the church in North Münster."

"Too few, only 20,000 Ugram's land ..." Marin was dissatisfied.

"So how much do you want? The land of the church is so good?" Conrad rolled his eyes.

"Bishop Conrad, do you know? Your interest of 10,000 Ugram is actually already known by Archbishop Cologne. If I had taken over the Bishop of Münster, he was planning to take seven or eighty thousand gold coins from you every year. More than half of the proceeds are divided. "Marin did not take the other side's words, but said another thing.

"Has this happened?" Bishop Conrad was taken aback. He was recently battered by the loss of the secular rule of the Bishop of Münster, and he had no intention of paying attention to other things.

"Of course, every year, the huge profits of 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins, everyone will be jealous! With so much money, you can buy a land as big as Ritterberg!"

Bishop Conrad was silent, and he knew very well that such a lot of money would indeed make people jealous. Previously, the annual tithe of the Bishop of Münster was 800,000 coins per year. However, most of them are due. He needed to hand over 600,000 gold coins to the Archbishop of Cologne. Then, the Archbishop of Cologne intercepted another 200,000 for the division of the Archbishop of Cologne and a number of senior bishops. Finally, the remaining 400,000 were handed over to Rome for the Pope and Cardinals to divide. Finally, only a small amount is left for teaching affairs ...

Although the tithe of 200,000 gold coins per year is withheld, it seems that there are many, but the Bishop of Münster is so big and there are many places to spend money. To keep the 5000 standing army alone, it will cost 100,000 gold coins every year. The remaining 100,000 gold coins will also feed hundreds of priest officials and a large number of priests in the Bishop of Munster. In the end, if you are greedy for ink, you can have 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins.

Therefore, for Bishop Conrad, it is still the interests of 10,000 Ugram's interests.

"So, Master Marin, how much do you want? However, you know, the church's land can't be taken out casually. It's very good to take out a small part. Don't give too much hope." Kang Bishop Rad asked curiously. At the same time, Marin was also given a vaccination to prevent the Marlin lion from opening his mouth.

"I heard that in addition to the 20,000 Ugram's church estates in North Münster, there are 50,000 Ugram's knightly territories?"

"Yes, the enclave of the 80 church knights of the Bishop of Münster is all in the North Münster area. At the time, the North Münster area had not yet been developed. The former Bishop of Münster simply sent all the knights allegiance to the North Going to build a manor in the Munster area. "

"However, the manor of these church knights is too big? 80 people have 50,000 Ugram land, and each knight can have 625 Ugram land. Such a luxury standard is afraid that only French knights can have it. ? "

Generally speaking ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The standard enclosure of the Cavaliers is a thousand acres, which is 500 Ugram. However, the 500 Ugram land was not all cultivated land. Like the Hoffman Estate from Marin, 500 Ugram's enclosure, only 100 Ugram is cultivated land.

Even the French knight, 1500 acres of land, equivalent to 750 Ugram, but the arable land area, rarely exceeds 500 Ugram.

However, the 80 church knights of the Bishop of Münster have an average of 625 eugrams of arable land per person, which is equivalent to 7,500 acres of arable land, which is too exaggerated.

"It's normal, you know, hundreds of years ago, the North Münster area was basically a barren land. The Bishop of Münster at that time in order to attract the knights, they went to the North Münster area to open up wasteland. No one expected that there were so many good places in North Münster, and these church knights would get so much cultivated land. "

Marin thought about it, really, it used to be a wasteland, who would have thought that these knights could reclaim so much cultivated land ...

"I want the 50,000 Ugram's arable land in order to take the entire North Münster area in my own hands!" Marin said seriously to Bishop Conrad ...
