Chapter 51 Franks and Old Farmers
After several letters with the same content were written, Isabel stamped them with the royal seal, which looked like a lion and was set on a capital letter A.
This pattern symbolizes the Angevin family, which is the royal power in Jerusalem.
Even in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Anjou family has lost all male heirs, leaving only sister Isabella alone.
But after all, it is the royal family and has supreme power.
Garris is actually not very happy to do this, but he has no choice... In this era, it is only the 12th century. If you take too big a step, it will easily lead to trouble.
Compared with future advancement, the first thing Garris has to consider is how to survive the small cult he established.
The surrounding Frankish villages learned several things after receiving the letter.
First of all, those villages that have not paid taxes this year are blessed because Ahmed, who used to beat them to pieces, has been arrested and is being held in a cell. He can no longer pretend to be a bully.
Secondly, those villages that have paid taxes this year are blessed because the person who arrested Ahmed is a royal family. After learning about the poor life of the people, she decided to refund the taxes for everyone!
Finally, it was this royal family who called on the heads of each village to come to the original Ahmed family house to discuss the specific matters of this year's tax collection.
As soon as the news of these three things spread, which old Frankish farmer in the surrounding areas would not feel itchy?
Faced with the high land taxes imposed by feudal lords, resisting taxes is actually a tradition that has existed in the hearts of medieval farmers for a long time. But most tax resisters may win for a while but not forever.
Even if they win for a while, the leader will definitely not end well, which makes many people just dare to think but not dare to do it.
But now that a member of the royal family has written a letter stamped with the coat of arms of the Anjou family and sent it to so many villages, the matter has become more serious.
The old farmers themselves knew what kind of force the Frankish villages would use if they united.
A single village may be weak, but if united, it means hundreds of young people.
This number, placed in the middle and early Middle Ages, is already quite potential.
They once lacked righteousness, but the letter in their hands was the righteousness of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
They once lacked weapons, but the Ahmed family's accumulation over the years was free.
In addition, what happened in Skar Village not long ago has been spread in nearby villages, and everyone actually knows it.
Don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back. With a simple hatred for Ahmed, many people in the village wanted to run to the prison where Ahmed was being held and spit on the bastard.
……
The Ahmed family's house is a typical Middle Eastern style, which emphasizes the transparency of the space while requiring certain military defense capabilities.
The comfort of the courtyard is highly valued. After all, the weather is so hot that staying in the house during the day feels like being in an oven.
On the contrary, there is a slight cool breeze, and the pergola and shaded courtyard make it even more comfortable.
When the heads of the surrounding villages walked into the Ahmed family's mansion on the appointed day under the guidance of the young man from Monterey Village, they couldn't help but marvel.
This wealthy family just knows how to enjoy it!
In the courtyard, Garris sat on a lounge chair, holding a seal ring in his hand, waiting for a long time. At this moment, his external identity is Isabel's sole agent.
As for Isabel, she was dressed as a teenager, sitting at a table nearby, writing to record the key points of the meeting.
The heads of each village, also known as the village chiefs, couldn't help but whisper a few words after seeing Garris.
Rumors about Garris have actually spread among them in the past few days.
There is a saying that the Bedouins in the village of Skal were about to be wiped out by the Bedouins, but suddenly a saint appeared, holding two swords alone, and chased the Bedouins on horseback to slash at them. The legs outperformed the four legs, and he killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Another theory is that Gerys was the second son of God. Hearing that the "Leper King" had passed away in Jerusalem, he came specially to help the royal family to fight against the pagan king Saladin.
Of course, with the testimony of the villagers in Monterey Village, they also heard that Garris could not only kill a dozen people in an instant, but also curse others to hell. However, anyone considered by Gareth as a wicked person will not be allowed to ascend to heaven in the next life.
This is a truly powerful person!
It's as if because of Messiah's mistakes, God learned the lesson, refined his playing style, changed the track, and sent someone who was particularly good at fighting.
The old farmers in the Middle Ages had their own crude understanding of various myths and stories. In their minds, it was hard to say what the Trinity was about.
They also made many blasphemous speculations about the relationship between John the Carpenter, the Virgin Mary, and Jehovah.
You must know that there are ten miles and eighty villages nearby, and the most serious church is in the village of Skar, and the priest of that church has been chopped into pieces by the Bedouins.
Except for the priest who was cut into pieces, no one could be found nearby who had read the Bible seriously.
Why don't we just let Garris talk nonsense, and the people around us will spread it from ear to ear.
Garris was not said to have the appearance of a weird angel with three heads and six arms, a halo on his head, and wings on his back. It's all because people spread the word less often and keep their mouths shut.
Therefore, among these village heads, except for Cardoso, the other four could not help but show disappointment when they saw Garris.
Garris's appearance is too ordinary compared to the rumors surrounding him. In other words, they look like Franks, with a head on two shoulders, nothing unusual.
At best, he is quite tall and handsome, like a scholar.
It's just that they were disappointed. The story about Garris dying of a knife wound, but seeing his Heavenly Father in heaven, and thus returning to earth, was considered crazy among them.
In fact, the first thing these people said when they opened their mouths was: "Sir, um, can you take off your clothes and let me touch the stigmata on your body?"
The first sentence they met was to ask someone to take off their clothes, just to touch the tragic scar on Garris's chest, so as to make sure that Garris was indeed resurrected from the dead...
Although he could understand the thoughts of these old farmers, it was still difficult to maintain the expression on Gareth's face.
As for Isabel on the side, she simply let out a clear laugh.
This is the second update. The additional update for the monthly ticket of 550 will be postponed tomorrow.
