Medieval White Elf Story

Chapter 6 The Noble Master’s Tour

When Flynn followed the rules and went to greet his cheap mother, and after being stuffed with snacks by the mother who was worried about overexerting her brain and hurting her body, she walked out of the room and prepared to drink some water quickly to avoid choking in her throat. Leo came up and informed the lord of his arrangements.

After walking out of the castle and walking around, Flynn didn't know why his cheap dad suddenly went crazy, but he still felt a little happy to be able to go out.From the time he traveled back in time and began to remember, he basically walked around in the Bain family's castle, and his maximum range of activities did not exceed the courtyard of the castle.If I hadn't been obsessed with the crisis in the Bain family and had no mind to think about anything else, I would probably have been depressed in this place that was almost like a prison. It was certainly a good thing to have the opportunity to see the natural scenery outside now.

Afraid that the cheap mom in the house would hear this and make a fuss again, Flynn didn't even bother to drink water, and ran outside with Glio, who was about to become a round ball.As soon as he walked out of the castle gate, four followers of the Bain family followed him, and there were also four fat men with the same sturdy build. This was because Glio felt that the lord's words were not completely threatening to the fat man eating skewers. , although the taste of roasting your own fat body is certainly not delicious, but of course the farther away from the iron skewer, the better.

Flynn didn't know what Grio was worried about, but he felt uncomfortable going out with eight strong men.It's not that he thinks there's anything wrong with such a big pomp, but with these eight guys surrounding him, he can see the backs of these guys in the middle, which is a pretty sight to admire.

Flynn had the urge to kick Grio away, but this guy said that he still wanted to go out with the lord, so he arranged for another guy to take care of Flynn for him, so there was no chance of kicking him. .

The feeling of being sandwiched between eight sturdy men was not pleasant, especially since these guys exuded an indescribable stench, which was really too strong.Isn’t it said that elves are people who are close to nature? Is this body odor that kills people the smell of nature?

There was no other way. Flynn, who was only eight years old, had a weak body that was completely helpless against these strong men. He could only cover his nose and follow them forward, like a monkey in a cage being taken out to parade.

Naturally, the residents of Bain's territory didn't know about their young master's dissatisfaction and grievances. However, seeing the little man carefully guarded by the lord's retinue, they could more or less guess his identity, and they all ducked aside and bent over Flynn. Salute.Some of those who were slow to react would be quickly pulled away by the people around them without the followers taking action, so as not to hinder the path forward of the viscount heir.

The respect for Flynn stems not only from the common people's natural fear of nobles, but also from their support for the Bain family.

It is unfortunate to be born into the Bain family, but ordinary civilians are even more unlucky in this society.

After the Lena Empire first formulated the so-called "Thirty-Third Tax Law", which stipulated that all harvests of common people must be divided into three parts, one part should be handed over to the king, one part should be handed over to the lord, and the remaining part should be kept for himself. After years of promotion and popularization, this [-]-[-] tax law has been played in various tricks by nobles large and small.

In Estilia, the so-called three-thirds tax has long been changed beyond recognition. According to the feudal lords one by one, the farmers' harvests have been equally divided again and again.One-third of the money goes to the king unchanged, and the remaining two-thirds must be handed over to the direct lord, the lord's lord, the lord's lord's lord, the lord's lord's lord, etc. according to the feudal rank of the lord, and then returned. After deducting the offerings to the religious elders, the rest is what the common people can keep for themselves.The layer-by-layer division is like peeling off the skin of ordinary people layer by layer.

Then the common people have to bear all kinds of manual labor assigned by the lord for free. Their children have to work as free servants for the lord's family. If their daughter is more beautiful, they have to take the initiative to send them to the noble master's bed. In case of war, He has to carry a hoe and go to the battlefield to kill people. As for the nobles' usual bullying of men and women, disregard of human life, etc., that's nothing to worry about.

What does darkness mean? This is what darkness means.

Although Flynn had often seen his servants in his yard since he was a child, using whips to punish the common people who could not pay taxes in full, but in comparison, because the Bain family was a direct vassal of the king, the king was the only one above his head. The leader of the lords, reflected in the taxation, the commoners can at least be peeled off a few layers of skin, leaving more harvest.Bain's territory's largest source of revenue relies on taxation from its trade routes, and it doesn't pay much attention to the income of its own citizens, so the living standards of civilians here are pretty good.

Although Flynn's cheap dad was not a very good person, he did not like to engage in any evil deeds like other nobles who raped civilian girls. Of course, it is also possible that those unkempt and slovenly village women could not attract the cheap dad's interest. But the Bain family's reputation among civilians is indeed very good, and this is true.

It is not surprising that the only heir of the Bain family and the future master of the people is on a tour for the first time, so he shows extra respect.

They are all supported by peers.

Flynn originally sympathized with these numb people who had been exploited by the feudal lords at all levels, but after seeing it more, he gradually became accustomed to it. He had no choice, he was only eight years old, and he would survive until the death of his cheap father. , successfully inherited the title, that is, a small viscount, it is hard to say whether he can hold on to his own one-third of an acre of land, and how can he help the countless working people in the world.

It's not the same era. It's really hard to understand how these people can live peacefully for thousands of years under the oppression of such a system, let alone office workers in another time and space. Because the company implements a [-] system, it directly The situation of throwing away the money and scolding the capitalists bloody, even the common people in the feudal society, who were forced by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, could still shout "Princes, generals, Xiang Ning, have the guts" and pick up a hoe to rebel against their mother.However, Flynn has rummaged through various historical materials of this time and space, and looked up the rise and fall of various dynasties in various countries. He found that there was absolutely nothing about ordinary people who couldn't survive. The most they could do was engage in tax riots, causing chaos for a while, and then nothing happened. , without causing any waves at all.

Ignorance, ignorance, resignation, and lack of revolutionary spirit are Flynn's overall evaluation of these civilians.

Whether he feels compassion or hates iron, Flynn has passed the initial stage and can now calmly accept this situation where the oppressed are grateful to their oppressors. His own purpose is also to appreciate it. Scenery, instead of coming to be a virgin, automatically ignore these behaviors and it's over.
