Chapter 1797： Give away

Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Emperor's Rise" at any time ...

In the autumn of 1515, there was golden everywhere. Up and down the Beihai Kingdom, another great harvest was welcomed. This year, due to the emergence of Prader plow carts, Columbine and wheat samarium, the area of ​​arable land in Beihai increased from 12 million mu to 15 million mu.

However, the tithe of cultivated land has not increased. Because the Holy See had confirmed with Marin at the beginning-only a tithe of 12 million mu was collected. Moreover, it is levied according to the standard of 150 pounds per mu, that is, a tithe of 15 pounds of rye per mu.

Of course, if there is a natural disaster, it can also be reduced. Another thing is that only half of the tithe is needed to go to Rome, and the other half is used by the Beihai Church.

In fact, even sending half of the tithe to Rome is very scary. Because, 12 million mu of rye, 15 pounds per acre, a total of 180 million pounds, half of it is 90 million pounds!

According to the current grain prices in the German region, if you count one fenny per pound, it is 90 million fenny, which is equivalent to 1.5 million gold coins! This batch of food is enough for 200,000 people to eat for one year! Moreover, when more than one pound of rye flour can be consumed every day (generally, the brown bread eaten by ordinary people can contain half of the flour, which is considered to be high-grade. The dark loaf bread, soil, (Pebbles, sawdust, wild vegetables and more than half of the ingredients). According to the way ordinary farmers eat, there is no problem for these grains to feed 500,000 people!

The food produced by the Papal State can meet most of the domestic needs, so the extra food is actually the financial income of the Holy See, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins ...

You know, those who paid the tithe honestly like Marin have almost disappeared in Europe. Those who dare to bully the Holy See, such as France, not only do n’t pay tithes to the Holy See, but also collect taxes from the French Church in reverse, which is extremely extreme.

Powerful countries such as Spain and the United Kingdom, although less bullish than France, often find excuses and bribe the cardinals in charge of the two parishes, waiving most of the tithes and only paying a little bit ...

The real tithe is relatively high, probably only the German bishops. It is not that they are willing to do so, but the narrative power of the bishoprics belongs to the Holy See, and those bishops dare not surrender. But even so, these bishoprics will still opportunistically, bribe the Cardinal Romans who are responsible for the tithe, deliberately reduce the amount of tithe, and then, privately divide those tithes ... A quarter of the tax is sent to Rome, which is very honest ...

No way, the atmosphere is so, Marin can pay so much tithe, it is the first in Europe. As for Marin's requirement to fix the tithe amount, the church people also knew that it was a mess. However, everyone is chaos, Marin is the most honest. Therefore, no one will find Marlin in this respect. Whoever dares to find a difference, Marin will pay him more than his tithes. As long as the ratio is open, even the big countries such as Britain, France and West can't compare to Marin ...

Therefore, even if Marin reclaimed 3 million acres of land, no extra tithe was paid, and no one made a fuss about it. Because others do more than Marin. Does a murderer dare to report a theft? Dare not! If you dare to do this, you die first ...

The additional 3 million mu of land was not swallowed by Marin, but was divided into a third for the nobles. In other words, Marin occupies 2 million acres exclusively, and the men share 1 million acres. Um, this is in line with the principle of dividing stolen goods by the bandits—the boss takes the big head, and the remaining brothers divide ...

Martha is the master ... Ahem, King Ma is willing to give a third to his men, which is quite kind. After all, the landless land in China belongs to her grand duke. Newly reclaimed land also requires his approval.

In order to suppress the grain output and avoid too much grain, Marin has also been leading for hundreds of years, and launched the Environmental Protection Law, which restricts deforestation to protect water and soil. However, the reason for protecting the forest is very fragile-even to protect the rights of the nobles to hunt ... But, in this era, this unreasonable reason actually holds ...

No way, this is the time of a noble, the noble lords enjoyment, even more important than the life and death of ordinary people ...

In fact, Marin does not completely restrict the increase of cultivated land, but deliberately suppresses the increase of local cultivated land. After all, he still has a large America to be reclaimed. With more land reclaimed, no one is willing to reclaim the wasteland in the Americas.

Therefore, Marin's attitude is very clear-the increase of local cultivated land must be approved, otherwise it will be confiscated. But for the land of the American Kingdom, Marin encouraged the reclamation. Even, hesitate to open various preferential conditions. For example, civilians who have reclaimed land in the past can also become landlords. Of course, the premise is that taxes must be paid to the government. In addition to the tithe of the church, an additional 10% each for agricultural tax and national defense tax. Of course, if a male joins the army at home, he will be exempted from national defense tax during the army. If there is a male death, the national defense tax exemption period will be extended by 18 years. These 18 years are the sons of the male who was born in theory. Of course, without children, their family members still enjoy this treatment. If there is a certain military merit, then the degree of compassion is greater ...

...

When Marin was disappointed, the people of this era, like the locals in the early years of later generations of Hudong, were brainless. In later generations, there is a famous joke-"I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong." He is talking about the dead-headed locals in Hudong, who would rather die in Puxi rather than seek development in Pudong ...

Now, this situation has also appeared in the North Sea country-not to mention the civilians, even the nobles are not happy to go to the United States to reclaim the wasteland.

For example, when dividing land, many warrior warriors would prefer 200 acres of arable land (equivalent to 100 Ugram, 1200 acres) when they were sealed as knights, rather than 1000 acres of arable land in the Americas.

You know, in the homeland, the good land by the river has long been divided by the big nobility. Only ordinary arable land that does not depend on the river will be deprived of its owner and be divided. However, those brain-powered heroes like those thin land, and they do not want the fertile land along the river in the Americas. It should be known that the development in the Americas is currently low, and the land given by Lincoln is all a treasure for irrigation along rivers. If left in later generations, such a farm would cost tens of thousands of dollars per acre. 1000 acres worth tens of millions of dollars.

However, in this era, the land of the Americas is worthless! Coupled with Marin's previous attempt to prevent other countries from competing, deliberately portrayed the Americas as a horrible "barren land", and no one was willing to put the enclave in the Americas.

Only the core senior leaders of the North Sea countries such as Kohler and Schwartz can understand how fertile and suitable the agriculture is in the Americas. Just for the cultivation of wheat, the rye fields in the North Sea country were completely exploded. You know, the price of wheat is several times that of rye ...

But Marin couldn't say it directly, mainly because he was afraid that some people's mouths were not strict and leaked out. Therefore, the land in the Americas can only be cheaper for those guys. Fortunately, they are not outsiders.

However, it is not enough to give those few confidants, others have to drink soup. Therefore, Marin did everything possible to "sell" land in the Americas.

As a result, not only the grassroots generals who were knighted for merits were willing to ask for the land of the Americas, but even the middle-ranking officers who were banned by the baron were not willing to ask for a good area five times the size of America.

In desperation, in order to promote the development of the Americas, Marin finally made a decision to give the land of the Americas to the meritorious soldiers ...

Of course ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Not everyone gave it, but the baron started. For example, the territorial baron ’s land from the baron is 1,000 native Ugram land, which is 2000 acres. Marin is still sealed according to the old rules, but another 2,000 acres of American riverside will be given away to the recipients.

These people may not be happy at first, but after knowing the truth and tasting the benefits, they are happy to ask for the land of the Americas. After all, that is arable land where wheat can be grown! You know, in this era, the white bread made by wheat noodles is a symbol of identity!

You know, even ordinary knights with only 1,000 acres of land along the river in the Americas can eat wheat flour and white bread every day as long as they grow wheat. No way, the land of the Americas is so good. Because summer is hotter than Europe, it is conducive to the accumulated temperature of wheat, so it is very suitable for wheat growth.

At the beginning of the 19th century, most people in European countries still mainly used brown bread as the staple food. The poor Germans even ate potatoes every day to make a living. At that time, just after the establishment of the United States, ordinary people could generally eat white bread. There is no way, the family has a good place, just like that ...

However, in the North Sea country in 1515, no one actually wanted to seal the land in the Americas, forcing Marin to rely on Tim Tau to give away the land in the Americas.
