Chapter 30 Finally found the civil servants
Garris was lying on the bed, his muscles all over his body were sore. Isabel followed Garris's instructions and hit Garris's calf and thigh muscles hard, every time.
To an ordinary person, the force would be considered a beating, but in Garris' opinion, it was still a bit light.
"How about Simon, he is stronger..."
Although the burst during the day only lasted a few breaths, even a brief opening of the human body's restrictions would be a very heavy burden for today's Gallis, causing a large amount of lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.
During the day, whether he was selecting young disciples or witnessing Cardoso being elected as village chief, Garris was actually standing there with strength.
It wasn't until everything was over that he could show his weakness in front of the people he trusted the most and show his more mortal side.
Of course, Isabel's strength is indeed a little weak, and Garris's muscles are now stiffer than steel. After a few minutes of continuous and painless beatings, Garris only feels slightly better. If If it were Simon, that kid, his hand would be strong enough to make Garris scream out in pain.
Perhaps after hearing Garris's complaint, Isabel's strength and frequency increased and sped up a lot.
After Gallis sensed Isabel's dissatisfaction, he didn't mention substituting someone to help him relax his muscles.
Instead, review the current situation in your mind.
During the day, because his body was too tired and his previous preaching on the high platform was too passionate and consumed a lot of energy, Garris' thoughts were not very coherent.
It wasn't until now that he was resting that he could count his gains.
First of all, in the village of Monterey, Garris' missionary preaching has come to an end. In fact, to be honest, what he has been doing these days cannot be said to be very systematic preaching. It only established the villagers' trust in Garris and inspired the villagers to dare to fight.
Of course, for Garris right now, this is already the limit.
Then in the village of Monterey, Garris got six cows, two houses, and some fields, all of which came from the village chief and the herbalist.
After arresting the village chief and the herbalist's family, Garris distributed the extravagant wealth to the villagers who followed him at the time, but did not deal with other property.
As for the village chief and the herbalist himself, after explaining everything, Garris handed them over to Cardoso and asked the villagers to deal with them according to their own customary methods. He is not suitable to interfere too much now. After all, even if he proposes to do it again, No matter how advanced the judicial concept is, if it does not match the level of productivity, it will only be a castle in the air.
According to the habits of the Franks, the herbalist himself will basically end up on the stake...
As for the family members of the village chief and the herbalist, they were indeed the beneficiaries of the fraud committed by the village chief and the herbalist, but Garris felt that their situation was not serious enough to deserve death, so they could continue to stay in Monterey. As for the village, there won’t be any good results even if you think about it...
Then it would be better to move them to Skar Village.
Anyway, there is a shortage of civil servants, oxen and horses in Skar Village to dig the soil... It is just these two families who are trying to atone for their past lives.
As for the fields and houses of these two families, Garris asked Cardoso to share them with the families who had died over the years because of the herbalists' false practice of medicine. This should be regarded as compensation to the families of those who died in vain.
As for the six cows owned by the village chief's family and the herbalist's family, Garris left four of them with Cardoso to lend them to farmers who had no cows during the busy farming season, and the other two he hoped to send to Skaar Village. Garris had long-term expectations for the river valley where Skaar Village was located. It was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also had farmland and rivers. Garris was deeply impressed. Presumably as long as water conservancy can be developed well, it will not be long before it becomes a small piece of natural land.
In addition, the five teenagers selected by Garris from Monterey Village also need to join Garris' rural survey team. Of course, now that I think about it, this so-called rural survey team will also have a strong missionary flavor.
While conducting rural surveys, we will also publicize the ideas in Garris's mind, expand Garris's influence, and win the support of more people.
However... it is still too inefficient to rely solely on the preaching of Garris alone. Garris needs a scripture compiled by himself, or a booklet recording his core thoughts.
Just thinking that nowadays, he can't even find the paper to write some pamphlets, Garris can't help but complain about the poor productivity in the Middle Ages.
It can't be said, it can't be said. In order to write a pamphlet, Garris has to restore the papermaking technology himself and build a papermaking workshop...
It's not that the technology of papermaking is complicated, but that the time, energy and manpower required during this process are too nonsense.
After Garris has restored the papermaking skills and mastered the papermaking process, he will build a papermaking workshop and conduct experimental production... and then write a pamphlet and prepare for missionary work.
Maybe Saladin had already won the Battle of Hattin and then began to besiege the holy city of Jerusalem.
Time waits for no one, and Garris must at least gain influence in the nearby countryside before Jerusalem is conquered, so that he can have the strength to expand after the total collapse of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Just when Garris was worried about how to speed up the progress, Isabel suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about how to get the taxes received by the tax collectors this year?"
When Isabel mentioned the tax collector, a light flashed in Gareth's mind, and he suddenly realized what he had previously ignored because he was too tired.
During the day, after killing the heavy infantry and capturing Ahmed, he also surrendered the entourage who followed Garris to Monterey Village. At that time, he thought that he would finally have someone to send to Skaar Village to serve as civil servants and horses. .
But now he realized that he had ignored the two most important things.
One is the tax collector’s tax collection account book!
All kinds of information about the surrounding villages must be recorded on it, from population, fields, to religious beliefs. It is essentially equivalent to household registration!
As long as he masters that information, Garris's understanding of the surrounding countryside can directly leap to several levels
Another is that since tax collection requires accounting books, tax collector Ahmed must have a large number of writing tools in his home! There will be no shortage of paper.
Otherwise, what would that guy use to keep accounts and compare money with money? How do you calculate how much wealth you have taken away from Mudleg, and how much tax you need to pay to the lord?
Regardless of where Ahmed bought those papers, he must have a large inventory at home. It must be enough to write some pamphlets urgently and speed up the progress of missionary work.
