Unlimited Food Plan

Chapter 50 Medieval 2

Because he forcibly broke through the barrier, but not particularly thorough, causing Fan Xing to lose countless energy, but he couldn't recover by himself like before, so he could only rely on the intake of food with energy.

This leads to the prey that can only be smoked in a warehouse. Fanxing picks and chooses to eat.

When Du Changqiu woke up, he felt refreshed. In the dream, he finally understood the story of Charlie's life thoroughly——Charlie was the second son of the Daimon family, a younger son who had no right to inherit.

Charlie's father, John Sr., is a good father who loves his son. Because Charlie has no inheritance rights, he doesn't want his youngest son to be left alone in the future. So he sent the young Charlie to the baron's territory to learn knight lessons, intending to let him Become a knight in the future,? And perform allegiance to the heir of the baron.

You must know that the old Damon's family also made a fortune in this way. When there were frequent wars in the early years and the major lords and nobles fought together, the great-great-grandfather of the old Daemon relied on his allegiance to a viscount at that time,? Then because of a battle Zhong was very brave and saved the Viscount at that time.

So under the generous feedback from that gentleman, the old Damon got a knight collar that could be passed on to his descendants, which is now the village of Wirth.

Of course, knights with such hereditary lands have long been half nobles. Generally, knights without ancestral shadows and knights with lands are basically two classes.

For example, after Charlie's older brother Meseff inherited the territory, apart from learning about fighting, he only needed to follow his father to learn how to manage the manor and guard his territory most of the time.

Charlie is not so lucky, he has no property to inherit,? He can only take the horse and armor sent by his father to the baron's castle when he is a little older, and live by his allegiance to the baron. Make a good appearance, even if you are a fool.

Although such a knight can be honored as a lord by ordinary people, he is just a show.

Even so, Charlie did not expect his brother to die, because the relationship between the Damon family was very good, and the days of living in Wilter Manor were the happiest times in Charlie's life. His parents took good care of them, and After his brother inherited the manor, he would specially leave five pounds to Charlie every year.

My brother said that when he had saved enough, he hoped to buy a small piece of land for Charlie, so that Charlie would not have to go through the wind and rain all the time, but could become a decent knight with land.

Charlie didn't know until after his brother's death that he had been saving the money before his father died, and he never gave up after his brother took over. Before his brother passed away, the savings had risen to an astonishing eighty pounds.

What is this concept?

To put it simply, a big goose costs sixpence, a roast goose costs sevenpence, a suckling pig costs eightpence, and twelve pence is worth one shilling, and twenty shillings can be exchanged for one pound!

The daily food and beverage expenses of the small lords were generally seven pence, gentlemen four pence, rich peasants and high-ranking servants three pence, and ordinary people one penny.

From this, we can know what the concept of five pounds is, it is enough for an ordinary family of four to spend two years.

Although the Damon family can be regarded as small lords with manors and territories, as the lowest knight lords, the entire Wilt Manor produces all the output throughout the year, and can earn at most fifty or sixty pounds throughout the year.

These fifty or sixty pounds may sound like an astronomical figure, but in fact it is not enough to spend—the annual daily expenses, food, drink and socializing of the whole family can add up to seventy-eight eighty-eight. If the three girls do not want to be wronged When they marry people of too low a class, they have to save a dowry enough to make gentlemen feel attractive.

So this five pounds a year is definitely a hard and loving savings.

How moved Charlie was when he knew it represented how much he felt pain over the deaths of his father and brother.

He took over the manor and wanted to help his dead brother support his sister-in-law and niece. He also took over the responsibility of raising three younger sisters and saving them a large dowry so that they could marry well.

Perhaps it was because Charlie was too sad and then worked too hard. In short, after taking over for a year, he fell ill as soon as he settled the taxes for the baron.

The disease was so severe that Charlie couldn't get up when he got sick.

"Sir, something serious happened!" Du Changqiu finally figured out everything about Charlie. He just opened his eyes and was still sitting on the bed in a daze when there was a knock on the door. With a worried expression, he said, "I don't know what broke into the manor yesterday, and it ate up all the gifts prepared for the baron."

"What?!" Du Changqiu was taken aback, hurriedly got up, put on some clothes, and walked directly to the warehouse, listening to George's report while walking.

"Nothing was damaged, everything is as usual, it seems that something invisible passed through the wall, and then ate all the food." After finishing speaking, the housekeeper whispered to Du Changqiu, "Sir, do we want to report To the church, this is not an ordinary incident."

The housekeeper meant that demons had entered the manor, but Du Changqiu didn't want many people who didn't know the details to come to the manor when he wasn't familiar with it, so he shook his head and said to the housekeeper, "It's okay, let me go and have a look first. "

The two talked, and soon arrived at the warehouse where the things were kept.

Wirth Manor is built on the left side of the village on the hillside. Facing the river in front is a watchtower to observe the enemy's situation. Behind the tower is a small castle. It is said to be a small castle, which is enough to hide hundreds of people. for long-term combat.

This is an important military fortress that every lord will build. However, although the castle is very good at defense, it is strong but not easy to live in. Therefore, after hundreds of years of slow construction around the castle and the city wall, manor-style houses were built.

A spacious and bright house is obviously more comfortable than a castle, so the Daemon family has been living in the manor since then, but the annual taxes, food and other things are still locked in the castle.

Du Changqiu and the butler entered the building on the side of the castle. As soon as they entered, they saw the servants looking around the door together in fear. Their faces were pale, and each of them was muttering words, as if they were praying to God.

Ignoring them, Du Changqiu pushed open the door where the food was stored, and when he opened it, his brows twitched - he saw that in the whole room, the skin of the smoked meat was peeled off, the meat inside was torn and eaten, and the wheat The burlap bag was only torn open, but it didn't disappear much.

The freshly made cheese was eaten up, and the most painful thing was the most expensive wine. This is a high-end product from England. It was originally bought by Charlie as a special gift for the baron, hoping to get the baron's favor. !

And amidst the voices of everyone bluffing and saying "there is no suspect at all", Du Changqiu clearly saw that a fat calf was sleeping with its limbs spread out in the messy room and was sleeping. With a sweet purr!

How did Fanxing follow him?He even learned to drink!

Du Changqiu was completely puzzled, he had to rely on the time-space locator to wrap his mind when he crossed time and space, but Fan Xing seemed to be dragging his two or three hundred catties directly to this strange time and space!

You must know that in this kind of time and space travel, theoretically speaking, the danger level will increase exponentially if you add a catty of weight. Therefore, it is unimaginable that Fan Xing's physical body can travel through time and space.

Du Changqiu was very puzzled, but now is not the time to worry about this, there are more than ten days to pay taxes, he took a deep breath, and told himself to calm down, after all, Fanxing followed him so far and found himself across time and space, He must have been terrified, and he was already very tired and hungry. Thinking of this, Du Changqiu felt a little affection for the silly calf again.

"A wild beast came in by accident. Did you see that there are signs of opening here." First of all, you must never let anyone from the Temple of Light come to your territory. If you find that he is not like the previous Charlie, it will be troublesome. Du Changqiu glanced left and right, and immediately saw traces of dust at the door, pointed to the ground and said.

After he said this, everyone saw that there were indeed footprints of a hoofed animal on the ground. The male servants were stunned for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and their expressions slowly returned to normal. Du Changqiu instructed everyone to clean up the mess and then take an inventory of these houses When it comes to storage, everyone gets busy quickly.

"One thousand catties of meat has been eaten, all three barrels of wine have been drunk, the loss of wheat is the smallest, and only one pocket has been scratched." The loss was quickly counted, and Du Changqiu's forehead was crazy when he heard it. Jump, do some calculations, the wine is okay, he can think of other tops.

Meat is a bit troublesome. Unlike the orc tribe, the manors in this place are basically very extensive and backward. In fact, Du Changqiu recalled that the entire manor produced basically all kinds of rye, wheat and barley in his memory. Land is livestock that are thinner than people, and a thousand catties of meat is basically the maximum income that this village can squeeze out every year.

Having caused such a big trouble right away, Du Changqiu glanced at Fan Xing and knew that he was full and would definitely come to him when he woke up, and he didn't care about this drunken bull. He sighed and said to the butler: " George, take me to inspect the territory and see what can be used as gifts."

The baron's wedding, as a knight who had served the baron, in the first year of inheriting the territory, if he didn't give the baron a gift that showed his heart, it would be regarded as a provocation to the baron.

Du Changqiu didn't want the baron's wedding to be over ten days later, and then soldiers and horses would arrive at the gate of Wilt Manor, and the fun would be great.

Butler George nodded immediately. When Du Changqiu walked out of the manor, a horse was already prepared in the yard. Du Changqiu had actually only ridden the cow Fanxing, but Charlie himself had memories of riding a horse. Come here to rub against Du Changqiu, which gave Du Changqiu some confidence.

He bravely got on the horse, and then suddenly tightened his body, the horse has habitually started to move forward.

The speed was not fast, much slower than Fan Xing who got up and ran around in a hurry, so Du Changqiu quickly relaxed, relying on Charlie's own instinct, and quickly adapted to the feeling of riding a horse.

As soon as he got used to it, when he walked out of the manor, Du Changqiu saw a scene that stunned him - he saw a bleak village that was hardly better than a tribe of orcs.

Those wooden houses built randomly with grass and wood are small and dilapidated, and they feel that a strong wind can blow them away. In the long and thin fields, the farmers are naked, only wrapped in tattered and blackened clothes in key parts. The hemp cloth is plowed in the field, and the thin muscles and bones are fully exposed, like a bony old horse.

At a glance, it is impossible to tell the difference between a man and a woman. His horse walked along the dirt path and crossed the river. If the manor is just rudimentary, when it comes here, it seems to be in some kind of suffocating and depressing jar. , the people here are not like human beings, but more like some kind of withered fruit that is squeezed by a millstone and is about to squeeze out the last drop of fat in the body.

The memories Du Changqiu sees are all based on the body's own cognition of the world. He is more like being guided to visit and understand, rather than [-]% "acquired", so when he sees all this from his own perspective, Du Changqiu was deeply shocked.

If it was pitiful for Charlie to worry that his three younger sisters would not dare to die without a dowry, Du Changqiu felt that those people outside who were so thin that they seemed to be moving like skeletons were really living in hell on earth.

"Raise your head!" Du Changqiu saw a thin, stubble-faced farmer kneeling on the edge of the field, trembling all over his body. He got off his horse and wanted to let him take him with him. Look at these fields and the output - compared to the housekeeper and the person in charge of farming who live with him in the manor every day, Du Changqiu wants to see the situation of this land with his own eyes.

"My lord, please don't take my child away. I will definitely make up my father's death tax. As long as the wheat of this period is ripe, I will definitely make it up!" the old man kneeling by the roadside said. When Matt heard Du Changqiu's words, his whole body trembled in fright. Thinking that the master of Damon's family was not as vicious as other noble masters, he couldn't help crying and begging.

"Death tax?" Du Changqiu was taken aback by what he said, and then he remembered it in the next second, and his head was full of black lines.

That's right, the death tax, this is one of the various weird taxes in the Middle Ages. Commoners were exploited in various ways during their lifetime, paying taxes for having children, paying taxes for marriage, and even having to be scraped off after death. until the juice comes out.

Because of these taxes, some poor people dare not even have children, because they are afraid that they will have to pay taxes when they are born, and they will not be able to support their children. And the lords of some territories are too greedy. If the marriage tax is particularly heavy, it will also cause people in the territory to marry. Can't afford to marry, or ask the lord to borrow money because of marriage, and then become slaves because they can't pay the debt.

This kind of tax is in the Kansai Empire. Now each territory is different, and the name of the collection is also different. It is different from the general unity of the ancient Huaxia regime. Every territory has its own style.

"Let's talk about it later." Of course, Du Changqiu disagrees with this kind of taxation that is exhausting resources. Taxation itself is not a bad thing. In fact, if a manager can manage the entire territory better, such as repairing the damn road first, it will be much better. Build some public places, and then promote education and medical care, then this tax has a positive meaning.

But the lords collected taxes not for this, but to pay more for their extravagant life.

Du Changqiu didn't have time to pay attention to this right now. It was just autumn when he arrived, and he was eager to know if there was any other income in the field that had already been harvested to relieve his urgent needs.

"First, show me what's growing in your field." Du Changqiu waved his hand and said to old Matt who was kneeling on the ground.

Old Matt was relieved when he heard that the death tax he owed was not for him. He stood up immediately, bowed his body and led the old man to the field.

For the rest of his life, Old Matt would always remember that time when Mr. Charlie, who inherited the manor, walked by the ridge of the field, looked at the field with rotten straw, and asked with a frown, "Why haven't you planted the seeds now?!"

At this moment, the old Matt heard this question inexplicably. Hasn’t wheat been planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and then rested for the whole winter?

But then old Matt felt that this moment was the moment when a certain door opened—behind that door was a completely different and brand new life for all the people in the entire Wilt Manor.
