I Built a Manor in the Middle Ages

Don't follow the example of "Manor and Lord". This book was obviously about farming at the beginning, but suddenly everything caught up with it. First there was war and then natural disasters. However, the war obviously did not affect the mountains where the protagonist established his base. There is also something in the mountains that can make the protagonist feel... I feel that the big lake has dried up. Under this situation, the protagonist said that he could run around as a rogue. He actually captured a baron's castle at the foot of the mountain a few days away from the base, and then planned to continue farming. Under a natural disaster that even dried up the sources in the mountains, running around for a few days would be fine.

Luc's soul has traveled through time to a more distant foreigner. From the currently unfolded skills of fertilizing, water milling, fertilizing, pear making, ice making, etc., It shows that he is Chinese. However, the era and background of the Chinese are not specified, but he has talent for archery, and other things are not clear yet. It is inferred that he is a person who loves peace in his heart, works hard to get rich, has farming knowledge, understands some cold weapons, and is sympathetic but rational. The specific background and experience still need to be gradually improved by the author.

At the time when this article was written, the human resources in the hands of the protagonist have ushered in the second expansion since the addition of "Squire" Ryan. At this time, the protagonist may have become a noble knight in a sense. So what was the life of a real noble knight like in this era? In this article, the author will start from the information at hand and try to describe their lives that are relatively close to reality for you. Due to the limited information at hand, the author will make the following assumptions in order to be as close as possible to the geographical and historical background of the protagonist: 1. The currency value after the issuance of Diocletian's highest price edict around 300 AD will be weighted and converted based on the purchasing power of grain and the silver content to use the "pfennig" adopted by the author of the novel as the unit 2. Assume that when the crisis broke out in the third century, the economic status of the provinces of Asia Minor in the Roman Empire was close to that of the Lotharingia region where the protagonist had begun to regain prosperity in the eleventh century. 3. Assume that the Roman villas that had begun to become manors in the late classical era had a production capacity equal to that of the manor during the protagonist's period and the prices of other commodities except food were equal. The preface ends and the main text officially begins. The person we introduce here is Taziano (various abstract clan names and titles are omitted), a local noble and city councilor in the city of Tralis in Asia Minor. His social status is between knights and barons (financially equivalent to a baron but without a private army). It is recorded that he was a wealthy man (at least he had the money to maintain the city monuments). He owned a total of 285 hectares of high-quality farmland, and had 7 slaves who did not need him to explode gold coins and 30 tenant farmers (which would increase to 64 during the peak agricultural season) who needed him to pay their salaries. His net income is approximately 11,150 sous per year (after deducting the approximately 5,500 sous he needs to spend to maintain the fields, pay for the food of slaves and tenant farmers, the tenant farmers' salaries, imperial taxes and profit sharing for officials at all levels) This translates into a weekly budget of approximately 215 sous. What can he do with this money? If the focus of his life is seduction, in order to entertain the daughter of the noble next door, he may spend 85 sous this week to buy about 330 grams of purple wool dyed twice with the best purple dye and spend 4 pfennigs to hire a weaver to weave the wool into clothes. In order to better accomplish his purpose, he may also pay a high price of 20 sous to ask a gold embroiderer to add exquisite patterns made of 90 grams of gold to the dress. In order to hold a banquet for the daughter of the nobleman next door, he might ask his slaves to buy 2 kilograms of pork (6 pfennig), 2 fat chickens (32 pfennig), 3 kilograms of beef sausages (9 pfennig), 2 kilograms of pig fat (9 pfennig), 3 kilograms of mutton (9 pfennig), 4 kilograms of gazelle meat (12 pfennig), two kilograms of pork liver (8 pfennig), 8 meat pigeons (16 pfennig), 2 0 small quail (2 pfennig), 10 other small birds (4 pfennig), 3 geese (50 pfennig), 3 hares (38 pfennig), 3 kg of fine river fish (9 pfennig), 3 Kilograms of sea fish (18 pfennig), 300 oysters (25 pfennig), 100 sea urchins (5 pfennig), 1 peacock (25 pfennig) totaling 277 pfennig, about 23 sou At the same time, his slave also needs to buy 3 kilograms of spice salt (4 pfennig), two liters of honey (14 pfennig), two liters of virgin olive oil (14 pfennig), 3 liters of high-quality fish sauce (8 pfennig), 200 Tarsus olives (3 pfennig), 5 kilograms of cheese (10 pfennig), 50 kilograms of various vegetables (10 pfennig), 40 liters of Pisenum wine (200 pfennig), a total of 263 pfennig, about 22 sou The total salary of the four cooks and five assistants involved in the banquet was 28 pfennigs. At this time, he still has at least 57 sous of funds left for this week. This money will not only allow him to live a nourishing life this week, but also do hard work similar to hunting. In general, if they do not raise an army, the nobles of the protagonist's era are still very nourishing. At least they can eat whatever they want. Our protagonist has a long way to go The last thing I want to say is that the author's level is limited. This article may have certain errors. If you find any, please point them out and forgive me.

This book does very well. How good is it? The entire medieval history division, and even the existing foreign history division, is powerful in a break-up manner, with amazing and dazzling results, numerous details yet organized, exquisite writing style and rich flavor. But there is a question, is the author really the author? I don't think so. Judging from the author's update frequency and the content of the articles he wrote - around Chapter 130 - the updates have become intermittent. For most authors, their writing style will deteriorate when they stop updating. But this book does not. On the contrary, as time has passed, this book has become more interesting? Why? Isn't this unusual? But there is an explanation that makes sense: The author was a real medieval lord. The reason why he updated intermittently was because he had to go back to deal with territorial issues; the perspective gradually became wider because he really became a lord and expanded his territory in another world; the reason why his writing style did not deteriorate was because he was writing about his own life. Once upon a time, the author was also a wandering knight. He accidentally discovered the portal and came to our world. After enjoying the convenience of the modern world, he still cherished his hometown and returned to his own territory. He resolutely assumed his responsibilities. However, the dream of his youth still existed in his heart, so it would take a long time to come back and update... Alas! Let us bless the author! In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, may your reign prosper and may your renewal be lasting and powerful, Amen!

Luc on the Right Bank

Before answering this question, please allow me to give you a brief understanding of a relatively popular concept in the historical field in recent years, namely the "Zomia" theory proposed by Willem van Schendel, a historian at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands In order to let everyone understand this theory as quickly as possible, please allow me to summarize it as "geographic resistance" (original text is fricti The specific connotation of "on of terrain" is simplified to "Historically, governments located in lowland population centers cannot effectively control large areas of the mainland" (for example, the Sun Wu regime during the Three Kingdoms and even the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties still could not completely eliminate Shanyue in the ruled areas) With the continuous development of human beings in the past century, the impact of terrain resistance has become minimal. It was not until the industrial age that "places with reclamation value" were trampled by the footsteps of modern civilization. So what was the situation in Western Europe in the mid-eleventh century when the protagonist Luc in the novel lived? Professor P. Boissonnade recorded in his "LIFE AND WORK IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE" "The plains of Flanders and the Netherlands before the eleventh century, most of the forest areas, extended out until they were connected with the Ardennes and Eifel Connected by vast forests, the latter is the famous charcoal-burner's forest mentioned in the legend." "From the Argonne Mountains to the Alps and the Pyrenees, from the ocean to the Jura Mountains, it is all forest, mixed with some open plains that have been cultivated." "A missionary in the eleventh century passed through some parts of it (referring to Germany and Italy). "In France, the Cistercian Order, the Canonical Order, the Carthusian Order, and the Knights Templar, together with the most intelligent feudal lords and supported by the entire peasantry, conquered a province that until then was covered by great forests. Parts such as Artois, Picardi, Fondie, Normandy, Champagne, Upper Burgundy... Aquitaine and the southeast have been turned into grasslands, pastures and cultivated land. Huge reclamation work has been carried out for three centuries." So we can clearly understand that the situation in Western Europe is several orders of magnitude worse than that in our country, and there are wilderness areas everywhere. Even the Sun Wu regime, the two Jin Dynasties and the later Southern Dynasties regime could not completely eliminate scattered local forces like Baiyue. How could the King of France and Count of Île-de-France, who could only control the Île-de-France, deal with the scattered settlements equivalent to Baiyue? So are the local barons and counts willing to spend their own military power to deal with small settlements? Obviously not! If you have the money to hire mercenaries to fight, you might as well use the money to open up wasteland! There are good wastelands everywhere, but where is the difference? Not to mention that the Vikings would sometimes suddenly snatch them all the way down the river! With forests and wastelands everywhere, it is relatively easy for the protagonist to find an uninhabited land. As for the nobles who nominally own this land, don't expect them to come to collect taxes when the geographical resistance is so great that it is a classic operation to make the protagonist surrender in name. At the same time, the population of Western Europe is not as large as that of the East, and the land is not so tight! Then I suggested that the author not delete the comments so quickly, and let me slap their faces to pieces! @reader

If my book is so popular, I can update it every day.

Why can the protagonist have unowned land for development, construction and hunting? Why was there still unowned land in the Middle Ages?? No one around me reported it, so how did you do it?

Why don't you give the protagonist a clue as a craftsman from the beginning? Also, the author should have only dug sand at the beach. He doesn't know how difficult it is to dig soil in the wild, so he still uses wood to lift it. It is recommended that the author do it himself before doing this. The author's writing style is very good. It's a pity that he keeps writing like this.

Every time I see medieval texts, I always think of the knight's castle standing up.
