"My condition is that in addition to the land in the North Münster area, in the South Münster area, no matter how much Ugram's land you help me, before you die, the land is temporarily handed over to you. The Rietberg family came to plant and manage, and the benefits also belong to you ... "Marin said slowly.
"Boom--" Bishop Conrad's brain seemed to explode, the tea cup in his hand accidentally overturned, and the tea was splashed ...
Obviously, Bishop Conrad was terrified by this super good condition. You know, his original intention to come to the negotiation this time was just to keep the 10,000 Ugram land. After all, 10,000 Ugram's cultivated land earns up to 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins every year. However, if he helps Marin to get tens of thousands of Ugram land, then he will be able to get a huge profit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year ...
For a time, Bishop Conrad was stunned and almost drooled ...
After finally calming down, he confirmed in general and asked:
"Except for the 20,000 Ugram arable land in the North Munster area and the 16,000 Ugram lands allocated to the 80 knights, the arable land that I helped you fight for belongs to me?"
"It's not all yours, of course the ownership belongs to me. It's just that when you are alive, the profits are all yours!"
Marin's choice to give up such a big benefit is actually very reluctant. However, he knew how difficult it was to take food from the church. Although the Pope was his father-in-law, Julius II could not personally come forward and oppress the Bishop of Muenster to distribute more church land to Marin. In that case, it will hurt its reputation. And precisely, Julius II was a very serious person. If you want to ask him to help this, don't think about it.
Therefore, Marin can only hit the idea to Bishop Conrad. As long as this guy is willing to be a traitor, he still has a chance to take a lot of land from the church.
Marin is also not black, and the church land of 250,000 Ugram is not too much to get 100,000 Ugram by himself? After all, he is the lord of Munster. As a result, most of the land is in the hands of the church. I cannot collect taxes from the church. In that case, does your own lord have a hairy meaning?
Bishop Conrad, as the current bishop of the Bishop of Münster, was actually obliged to transfer some land when transferring power. It's just that because it is the land of the church, I can only see how much I feel ...
Although Bishop Conrad has no dictatorship, he has given Marin more arable land. However, as long as he is willing to convene a meeting and put forward this bill, Marin has the confidence to let this bill pass.
As for what method is used to force the bill through? Did n’t Schwartz give a demonstration in Rome? At that time, as long as Yuan Datou ’s tricks were learned, and the priests who disagreed with the meeting were sent out, they would not be allowed to go to the toilet or eat, forcing them to pass the bill.
As for those priests who appealed afterwards? Changing a prince may be unlucky. But Marin, as the pope's son-in-law, will the Holy See live with him? The only question is whether Bishop Conrad is willing to cooperate ...
After thinking for a long time, Bishop Conrad raised his head and asked:
"I propose that it is not difficult to hand over more church land, but other church representatives, especially those monasteries who control the land, do not agree, what should I do?"
"I'll let them agree ..." Marin smiled slyly and told Bishop Conrad about Yuan Datou's method.
Bishop Conrad shook his head in fear:
"No, no, if those priests report to the Holy See afterwards, you and I will be finished!"
"No, Bishop Conrad. I can tell you with certainty that Your Majesty Julius II will definitely be on my side!" Marin directly revealed some background to make Bishop Conrad bold.
"His Majesty the Pope will definitely be on your side? Then why does His Majesty the Pope not personally give us more land to give you?" Bishop Conrad was a little unbelieving.
Marin also did not know how to answer, because Bishop Conrad was right. Therefore, he can only say:
"Impossible, Pope Lord pays great attention to fame, and will not impose such laws that openly damage the interests of the church."
Bishop Conrad thought about it too, and if Julius II dared to publicize such a decree, it would definitely be criticized by the priests. Because this is tantamount to public damage to the interests of the church. Any pope who cherishes his reputation will not make such a purpose.
"So, Master Marin, how much land do you want? If there are too many, it is impossible. If more than half, I would be beaten to death by the priests in Münster."
"I understand your situation, Bishop Conrad. So, you can get me 80,000 Yougram's land from the church, just enough for me to make up 100,000 Yougram, almost."
"100,000 Yugram ... count the 16,000 Yugram land that was allocated to the 80 knights, this is to split the 116,000 Yugram land from the church ... I think those angry priests, especially Those monasteries who have been deprived of their land will not help coming up and killing me ... "Bishop Conrad was a little scared. This matter is too much ...
"It's okay, I will leave 3,000 elite soldiers stationed in Münster to protect your safety. And every meeting, I will send 500 soldiers into the church to protect you. In this way, no one will dare to start."
"Don't you say that the South Münster area let me rule to death? What is it to send 3000 troops? Surveillance me?" Bishop Conrad was a little unhappy.
"Do n’t get me wrong, these 3,000 people will definitely not interfere with your rule, but protect your safety. After all, from the moment you helped me plan the land, you are my ally. You helped me so much Land, I am also worried that those unconvinced abbeys will rebel. After all, they directly control the land and it is very rich. "
"Am I still protected by 80 church knights ..."
"Oh, Bishop Conrad, the land of these knights, from more than 600 Ugram, was reduced to 200 Ugram. God knows they will be grudged? If they deliberately do not work hard to protect you, then you may lose life's."
"No, no, Master Marin, you have to understand one thing. I live a year longer, and you take back the South Münster area one year later. If you think of me for a long time, those soldiers will be killed. The murderer who killed me. "Bishop Conrad is not a fool, he saw the risks at a glance. If you are short of life, if you live too long, Marin is impatient, and you might kill yourself.
"Okay, you can choose to hire another soldier to protect yourself. However, you need to be careful about the 80 knights to prevent them from being unfavorable to you. Also, I will definitely leave two thousand afterwards The men and women are in Münster so that you can quickly take over the South Münster area after your death. "
"Yes, but your barracks must be built on the outskirts of the city, otherwise I won't worry."
"Okay, you are busy now. First solve the problem of the 16,000 Eugram land of the 80 knights. This resistance should be smaller. Wait until this matter is resolved, and then solve the 20,000 Eugra in North Munster. The arable land of the church in Ium. I think this problem should not be too big ... "
"If you just leave the North Münster area to you, I think most monks will have no problem. Only the monks in North Münster area who have been deprived of 20,000 Ugram land will have an opinion, but that It ’s nothing. It ’s just that you want to obtain 80,000 Ugram ’s arable land in the South Münster area afterwards. This is too difficult, but it cuts a large piece of meat directly on the Münster church ... "
"Relax, I will send troops to surround the venue and force the priests to agree."
"But then, I am afraid that you and I will be impeached by the dissatisfied priests ..."
"This bag is on me. I will **** them to Rome for impeachment. In the end, neither you nor I will be okay, I swear."
"I'm still afraid ... if you're bragging, then I'm going to die ..." Bishop Conrad still had no idea. At the same time, I also want more benefits.
"Bishop Conrad, if 80,000 Ugram's arable land in South Münster is available, let your Ritterberg family cultivate it. The annual 10,000 Ugram's arable land yields seven or eighty thousand gold coins. , 80,000 Ugram land, but five or six hundred thousand gold coins a year ... With this money, your Ritterberg family can buy more than ten times more territory than your existing territory ... "
Although it was tempting to face huge profits, Conrad was still afraid:
"I still don't believe that Pope Lord will support you unconditionally ... If Pope Lord doesn't support you so thoroughly, I might die without a burial ground ..."
Marin was also depressed, but he could not tell Bishop Conrad that he was the pope's son-in-law, right? So he thought about it and said:
"Well, I heard that your nephew John is a priest in Cologne?"
"Yes, it was the fourth son of my older brother John I (CountofRietberg), who was only 18 years old. I had a nephew, Conrad, who was also sent to Cologne as a priest. Unfortunately, he was sick in 1500 died."
"I can write to Lord Pope to promote your nephew John as assistant bishop. So, should you believe it?"
"18-year-old assistant bishop, are you kidding?" Bishop Conrad was surprised.
"What's the matter? His Majesty the Pope has the right to directly shelter his younger generations as Cardinals. Is it difficult to promote your nephew as Assistant Cardinal?"
The cardinal is the cardinal and has a level three higher than that of Cardinal Conrad. Caesar Borgia, the illegitimate son of Alexander VI, was directly sheltered as Cardinal by Alexander VI in his teens. Unfortunately, Caesar Pogia did not want to be a priest, and later became popular.
Originally, Julius II planned to limit the number of cardinals sheltered by the Pope after taking office, and intended to stipulate that each pope could only shelter two younger children as cardinals during his tenure. However, Marin considered it for his own interests, mainly to consider with Felix's illegitimate child, and persuaded Julius II to give up the order. Therefore, the Pope can now shelter several people from becoming Cardinals. The premise is that you need to prove that this person has a relative relationship with the pope.
Marin is not worried about this. He intends to let the carrot head adopt the Rovere surname, so that Julius II can directly shelter Robert as the cardinal in the name of asylum family children. When the radish head grows up, Marin smashes the money and lets him run for the pope ...
...
Bishop Conrad knelt directly-Nima ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The other side is so powerful. As a bishop of the parish, he cannot directly shelter his 18-year-old nephew as an assistant bishop. Up to now, John is only a little sacrificial priest, that is, he laid down the priest. If Marin has the ability to let the pope directly enclose his nephew as an assistant bishop, it proves that the other party does indeed have the pope's refuge, and cooperation with it is worth the risk.
At that time, his nephew John became an assistant bishop, and he was eligible to run for the bishop of the bishopric. Then, he earned hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year on the cultivated land he won for Marin in South Münster. This money can not only support the Rietberg family to buy a large enclosure, but also support John's bid for a bishopric.
Eventually, Bishop Conrad raised his head and said with red eyes:
"Okay, I'm doing it! As soon as my nephew John's letter of appointment arrives, I immediately push this forward!"
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
Marin held out his hand and held it with Bishop Conrad's. That's not two hands, it is clearly two spades, working together to dig the corner of the church ...
