Chapter 313： knowledge (2/2)

"You are talking," the homeless person next to him smiled. "But it is really cold this day."

The people across the bonfire picked up: "It was not so cold last winter."

Someone immediately laughed at the side: "You still have a house to live last winter, of course you are not cold!"

"To shut up!"

Solderin listened, suddenly looked up and curiously inserted a mouth: "What about your house?"

The man sitting opposite the bonfire was frustrated: "I was taken away by the Cavaliers a while ago... I owe the Cavaliers a five-year renter, not even on, even the house and the land are taken away."

Solderin couldn’t help but silence.

But the man opposite the bonfire didn't stop. It seemed to think of his "good day" last winter. He chanted again: "I still have a house last year, and there is a small piece of land... I still have a wife! ”

"His wife died a few years ago," the man next to Soldering whispered. "He doesn't know his mind now."

“It’s all done by the 佃 赦 赦 赦 bill,” said a young man who is fiddling with a bonfire.

"The 佃 赦 赦 ’ bill?" Soldelin stunned, apparently he had not heard of the bill.

In the Kingdom of Ansu, the aristocrats of the Earl and above can promulgate a certain degree of "private law" on their own territory. The scope of the law can be different depending on the level of the title. Some can set the tax rate, and some can cast the currency. Some can stipulate the right to inherit the property. In addition to a general royal code, the legal provisions of the aristocrats can be said to be chaotic, extremely chaotic, and even contradictory. These messy laws are not only those in the territory. The challenges that traders and adventurers must face between them will also cause great trouble for strangers who are unfamiliar with Soldering.

“It was the law enacted by Earl of Berry ten years ago,” the young man said. “The count allowed the people who rented the land to default on rent, without the whipping and fines in the first year of arrears, but the second year of rent. It is necessary to pay twice as much rent, double in the third year, and double in the fourth year... If the fifth year is still not up, the house and the field will be taken away. The count said that this is Kaien. Let those who can't afford the rent because of the occasional bad times have the opportunity to pay their debts, so this is a 'entitlement bill'. If you can't afford to rent a rent for five consecutive years, it's really lazy and stupid. Not worthy of continuing to cultivate his land..."

The man in the worn cotton coat next to Soldering sighed: "But few people can return it, and most people become us after five years."

This is a trap! A simple trap!

How can a farmer repay arrears in such a way that rents continue to double? Not to mention the ratio of more than ten times in five years, even in the second year, they are difficult to return - they can not accumulate the surplus or money to cope with the soaring rent in the second year!

Before the implementation of this bill, the arrears of rent will only be whipped and confiscate a part of the property, but after the implementation of the bill, any person who owes rent is destined to be taken away from all fields and houses - but ordinary farmers simply cannot understand this. .

Because they don't recognize words or count... they don't have the extra energy to think about things other than doing things.

They are faced with impossible debts in desperation and lose their land and houses in despair, but in the end they don’t even understand why.

Solderin glanced at the little bonfire in front of him and suddenly felt the memories of the seven hundred years ago in the minds of everyone who joined hands and shouldered the group to warm up.

The man opposite the bonfire is still whispering: "I had a small piece of land, just by the river... I still have a wife!"

Someone touched him: "Oh, don't say it, say more irrigation."

"The firewood is over..."

"Don't put it in, it's still early tomorrow."

"When the day is up, go to the Church of the Light, go early, porridge can be hot."

"Don't be too early - the new priest is not irritating when he is porridge, but he is used to squatting from above. He can only drink thin soup early."

Solderin listened in silence, and in the powerful hearing of the elf, he heard the sound of the lyre and tambourine in the distant castle finally quiet.

He didn't sleep all night, until the faint glimmer of light appeared in the horizon, and the glory of the great day was scattered into the town through the reflection of the clouds.

The bells of the church rang in the distance, and Soldering stood up, and the homeless who barely slept and struggled to climb up one by one: the bells of the church were the signals to wake them up.

The bonfire is almost extinguished, and only a little residual heat is passed on to the people who are roasting. The tramps are moving with frozen hands and feet, hoping to restore some physical strength before the sun really comes out, which helps them at the church door. Keep the food you received, but when everyone stood up, one person was still sitting.

It was the person sitting opposite the bonfire at night.

Someone pushed forward, and the squatting body fell to the ground: he died.

The homeless watched the scene silently, and someone sighed: "There was a few firewoods last night."

"He had his own house last year..."

Solderin’s faceless expression, those who joined hands in the darkness and hardship seven hundred years ago, their descendants have created such a country?

He turned and walked to the street that was about to be illuminated by the sun.

He will hurry back to Cecil.
