My Sister is Arturia

Because of the war, through threats, low-price purchases, and even imposition of high war taxes, the peasants were driven away from the land through violence, and the peasants’ land and public land were forcibly occupied, and the peasants’ land use rights and ownership were deprived. Isn't what is happening in this country right now the enclosure movement that Arthur is familiar with?
It is true that the enclosure movement can promote the development of the country to a certain extent. Scattered land is used intensively to create wealth and free up redundant workers for other projects. After the nobles have accumulated primitive capital, their business It will definitely develop vigorously, but all of this is in an ideal state, and the lives of ordinary farmers are ignored, not to mention the fact that the farmers who have no land are still in war. How much can you expect them to fight? enthusiasm?
Although the Duke of Putaitou personally exempted Xiaodouding and his mother from punishment, he did not return their land. Farmers without land, once they have no source of livelihood, even children, can bring benefits to the country. In turmoil, when more and more farmers who have lost their lives gather, what awaits the country is a disaster.
War broke down the walls of the British Empire from the outside, and the nobles of the British Empire were on the road to self-destruction.
But even if he understands all this, Arthur has nothing to do. Could it be that he directly went to the palace of Camelot, proposed this matter with the current rulers, and then asked them to care more about the life and death of the farmers?First of all, Arthur is not a holy mother who is merciful to all living beings, and he has no sense of responsibility related to the world. For Arthur, as long as the people around him can live happily and live happily, that is what Arthur cares most about.
However, if Artoria really pulls out the sword in the stone, Artoria will be the king of Britain. As a younger brother, I guess I will have to find a way to solve the problems of farmers losing their land and nobles being greedy. The problem is between the two.
It is not an easy task to find a balance between the two. All the European medieval kings who did this were obviously able to lead the country to prosperity.
Just thinking about Arthur gives me a headache, and this is why Arthur rejected the invitation of the Duke of Putaitou to nominate the tournament. Even if he wanted to participate, he went by himself. If you go to participate because of your reputation, won't you be considered by the rest of the nobles as a pawn of the Putaitou Duke family as soon as you enter the arena?
If you start to stand in line before seeing the situation clearly, you will probably die miserably. Dealing with nobles, for Arthur, who used to live in a certain eastern country with the most people, is awe-inspiring and cautious. Heart, is absolutely right.
Apart from what Arthur was thinking about and his worries about the unsettled life that might come in the future, the current situation can be said to be getting better and better, at least ninety gold coins a catty are easily available.
"There is a commission of ten gold coins! This guy is too rich! The Duke is really amazing." Lancelot was riding on the horse. All of them are knights, and the followers behind are responsible for equipment and daily life, as well as leading an extra spare horse. Lancelot's horse is a spare horse for a certain knight.
Of course, there are eight other people like Lancelot, Arthur, Artoria, Merlin, Garahan, Gavin, Bedivere, Triss, and others wearing a full-body cloak to cover the elves. Identity of Percival.
"Although I can understand the reason for not giving me a horse, it is really rude not to let me take a carriage." The only one who walked was Miss Kelly, a donkey who couldn't ride a horse.
"There is no way around this. The carriage is for the Duke of Putaitou and his family." Bedivere smiled and tried to appease the angry donkey lady Kelly, but the effect was obviously not very good.
"However, there are so many knights. I can feel that there are more than a dozen knights who have very powerful magic power. Although the rest of them don't know if they can control the magic power, but such a powerful knights, the real identity, how many I can also guess it." Triss rode on the horse and followed at a very close distance from Arthur.
"Hey? Does Triss know the name of this knight order?" Arthur looked at Triss in surprise. After all, the knights don't have any flags or patterns, and the name of the knights can be guessed from the strength alone. A little bit is a little bit powerful.
"I can probably guess, although it's not 100% accurate, but it should be the most powerful knight order in Camelot in the British Empire-the Knights of the Holy Sword." Triss held the reins, gracefully The figure was bouncing up and down with the horse's walking, and the eyes looking at Arthur also went up and down accordingly.
"However, the Knights of the Holy Sword generally only serve as guards for the imperial capital of Camelot, and most of them guard the castles of the royal family. Why did they come here to escort the Duke?"
Hearing what Triss said, Gavin took two steps faster and walked to Triss's side: "This may be because the duke is currently one of the members of the parliament that actually controls the British Empire, so the current The Holy Sword Knights, in fact, are his subordinate knights, it is normal for him to appear here to escort him, but I am surprised by another thing."
Gavin lowered his head, pinched his chin with one hand, and pondered:
"This is the King's Road. Although we have just entered Camelot, it is considered a fairly safe place. Even if the object of the guard is the Duke who controls the country, there is no need to dispatch members of the Knights of the Holy Sword. , not to mention that after dispatching the members of the Holy Sword Knights, they even wanted to recruit knights who can use magic power at a high price, as if they believed that they would be attacked by a powerful force."
"Indeed, if it's just being careful, it's really too careful, and careful people won't absorb new members into the team when they're about to set off. Aren't you afraid that we are spies or undercover agents?" Triss heard According to Gavin's analysis, he said so.
"So, Gavin, what do you mean..." Arthur continued according to Gavin's meaning: "Not only do they know that they will be attacked, but they are likely to be where and who will be attacked? That's why it happened son made it?"
"Well, but this is also a guess, and other possibilities are not ruled out." Gavin shrugged, and then saw Kai walking from the front line.
A white horse with a silver armor and a standard shield hanging on the back, with a handsome face in front of him, Kai, who is riding a tall horse, is just like the legendary Prince Charming, and the horse is also very cooperative With every step the white mane on his neck fell.
"Sorry, I've been busy with the departure of the team, so I didn't come to greet the two noble princesses, please forgive me." Kai said to Gavin and Triss: "Triss from the Kingdom of Wessex Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness Gavin of Onikshire."
"Have you recognized us yet? So, is it the Duke who recognized us, or the Knight who recognized us?" Triss did not deny that, in fact, her status as a princess is important no matter where she is. Nothing to hide.
"It's the Duke of Putaitou." Kai nodded to Triss: "But now is an extraordinary time, and the Duke thinks it is not appropriate to reveal your identities now, so I come to greet the two noble princesses alone. Hello."
"Not suitable? Why are you so cautious?" Gavin looked at Kai in front of him and asked.
"It's all because of the Defias Brotherhood." With a serious face, Kai held the bridle, keeping the horse and Arthur and the others in balance, but kept a certain distance: "The Defias Brotherhood, you will come back when we go It is because of this news that they attacked us on the road of Camelot that we are so careful."
"The Defias Brotherhood? Is this news reliable?" Triss frowned, obviously no stranger to the Defias Brotherhood. In fact, when Arthur and Triss met for the first time, Defias Brotherhoods play a very important role.
"Pretty reliable, and this time, the one who attacked us is likely to be the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, Van Cleef!"
Kay's eyes sharpen, and it looks like he's talking about a powerful villain:
"The most wanted man who is about to turn Camelot upside down!"
Kai said so.

no.223 Let's celebrate the beautiful young girl
On the wide King's Road, a team of hundreds of people walked on the road in an orderly manner. On both sides of the road, there was an endless field, shrouded in golden silence, and the mountains in the distance were covered with colorful clothes of sunset. The pure white clouds also turned bright red like flames, and the grass waves swaying like a wolf's tail gradually subsided with the breeze, and the cooking smoke of the town could be faintly seen in the distance, like long dragons of smoke, soaring upwards.
Arthur and others have followed the Duke of Putaitou's team for most of the day. The dusk sky matches the field, which makes people feel at ease. Put on a smile.
However, after learning about the Defias Brotherhood, Arthur felt that he couldn't laugh about the situation in the country in front of him anyway.
I originally thought that the Defias Brotherhood was caused by a black dragon girl who pretended to be a nobleman, and then worked hard for a long time without any pay, and rebelled against the artisan group. After consulting Kay in detail, Ser found that this was not the case at all.
The reason for the formation of the Defias Brotherhood is actually a mystery until now, and the official explanation is only a general outline and uncertain reasons.
According to rumors, a severe flood occurred after a heavy rainstorm in a certain year, and the underground water system of the kingdom of Camelot, which was not malicious at all, was naturally paralyzed, but this time the paralysis was worse than the previous paralysis It was much more serious, because the castles of the King of Britain were all submerged. After the King of Britain was furious at that time, he recruited famous craftsmen in Britain and began to collectively rectify the Kingdom of Camelot, especially the capital of Camelot. sewer system.
The so-called conscience of a city depends on whether its sewer system is qualified or not. I have to say that the craftsmen at that time were quite conscientious, because Camelot’s sewer system has not had any problems since it was renovated. up.
However, after the craftsmen finished their work and offered specific remuneration, His Majesty the Emperor was dumbfounded, because the price was high enough to hire two or three large mercenary groups to fight for a whole year. The king is also quite conscientious, and he is also very forward-looking. After confirming that he can't afford so much money at one time, he collected a little extra tax from the tax for repayment.
It was originally a happy event, but at this time an unexpected situation happened.
"The tax was embezzled by the powerful ministers or the king himself, so those artisans rebelled and formed their own 'Defias Brotherhood'?" When Kai explained this, Arthur began to use his own guesses and previous solidarity. People with fixed thinking to guess the next plot, but it turns out that people with fixed thinking are often severely slapped in the face.
Things, of course, are not so simple.Although some of the strongholds were pulled out when they encountered rebellion at the beginning, the angry king and the shocked ministers thought it was the rebellion of craftsmen in other cities who were dissatisfied with their salaries and were paid in installments, but after arresting After defeating the artisan leaders and many foremen of the artisans in Camelot, they found that things were not what they thought at all. It was not the artisans who rebelled, but the people who had been taxed.
Originally, it was because of the flood that the city exposed the fragility of the sewer system, so artisans were invited to repair and improve the sewer system. Although the wages could not be paid in one go, they paid in installments by increasing taxes. Originally, these things seemed to be in order Things are going on reasonably and efficiently, and things don't seem to have any major problems anymore, but the rulers have overlooked an important problem.
