Chapter 11: Come and talk and go

For the next few months, Marin lay on the bed in the Vienna Hotel all night. Consumption in Vienna is very high, clean hotels, accommodation for three persons including the cost of keeping the animals, 40 Finnies per day. The three Marin, together with the meals of War Makar, is as high as 40 Finneys a day. Even if two cows eat grass, there is a charge. After all, this is Vienna, not a rural town, and there is no grass to eat anywhere. You have to make a forage for folks, and there is a fee.
The consumption of more than 80 fennies a day made Marin feel a bit overwhelmed. So Marin decided to leave Vienna temporarily and go to a place with low consumption. It would be more perfect if we could hunt and make some money by the way ...
After making up his mind, the next morning, Marin asked Kahn and Kohler to pack their luggage. After packing, Marin went to the hotel owner to pay the bill. Then, he took two attendants and said he would leave. travel……
As for where to go, Marin also thought about it-they returned to the Black Forest ...
There are many animal resources in the Black Forest, and Marin's archery skills are very good. With the cooperation of Kahn, they can make a fortune by hunting. Moreover, it seems that the lords near the Black Forest have not grasped the poaching problem very well, and it is very suitable for Marin to commit crimes.
Marlin's plan was to raise a large sum of money by hunting. Once you have the money, you can change your gear and equip yourself, Kahn and Kohler. Also, when the Italian war is over, you can buy yourself a small manor and become the manor.
As for status, you still have to change by fighting with the emperor. He knew the results of the war. In the first Italian war, the Shen Luo empire was victorious, and there were great military achievements. As long as you save your life on the battlefield, and use the prophets to gain some battle, you can at least exchange with the emperor for the lowest level of nobility like a formal knight. If you're lucky, maybe you can mix a baron or something. If chasing Charles VIII who fled while chaos, the credit would be great ...
What's more, Marin needs to recruit 3 Cavaliers. The average poor knight also has 5 or more knight attendants. There were only two of them, and they looked extremely embarrassed.
But raising 5 knight attendants is a considerable expense. Some knights have bad character, so they go to the road to rob and run out of money. But Marin was a man of moderation and would not do such unethical things. So he decided to save enough money by hunting first. After saving enough money, he not only recruited five servants, but also bought a horse for each servant, and equipped them with leather armor and spears.
He thought about it, Kahn can be regarded as a good combat force, but Kohler is a bit thin, and can only play the role of quartermaster and dog head military division. Then, if you recruit three more people, naturally it is best to recruit those who can fight, and be faithful.
Aide, but Knight's most trusted partner and subordinates. Therefore, in addition to ability, reliability is the most important. Marin chose Kahn and Kohler because he liked Kahn's honesty and honesty. As for Kohler, it was actually piggybacking. Moreover, Marin knew where the Kahn family was, and if they dared to betray, they could go to their house to settle accounts.
Nowadays, the economy in Germany is very bad, and there are many refugees. But these exiles, Marin did not dare to recruit attendants from them. This is because most of the refugees have unknown origins and are not so reassuring. Recruiting them as ordinary soldiers is fine, but recruiting them as servants is not appropriate. You know, the Cavaliers basically left their backs to the attendants.
After much thought, Marin decided to return to the Huffman estate and recruit attendants from the serf family of the Huffman estate. Huffman Manor has more than 20 serfs. Marin "remembers" that there are still some great guys in it. His "brother", Adler Huffman, had already picked five Knight attendants. In the manor, there are actually many good guys. After all, not every serf family has one child. Some people have several children. Due to insufficient output of the manor house, some people even had to send their children to the city to work as laborers. Otherwise, Huffman Estate could not support so many people. After all, Huffman Estate has only 1,200 acres of thin land.
Of course, before returning home, Marin felt that it was right to save more money by hunting. In fact, the old Huffman is now worried about the future armor and horses of the third and fourth sons. After all, as a father, his son is old, and even if he rushes out of the house, he must be equipped with war horses, armor and lances. In addition, there is a lot of travel expenses.
Marlin's plan is to subsidize the Huffmans and their families a little money after returning home, so as to make the economy of the estate better. By the way, he also wanted to point out the agricultural technology in his home so that the land of the manor could be more productive.
The manor's economic situation was better, and his cheaper brothers Simon and Albert were able to match horses, armor and weapons when they were kicked out of the family. So as not to be like yourself, you do n’t even have plate trousers when you leave the house, let alone a servant. Moreover, with ample funds, his cheaper sister, Anne, would be easier to get married. After all, more dowry makes it easier to marry a good person.
To bring enough money home, Marin took Kahn and Kohler, plunged into the Black Forest again, and began a crazy hunt ...
The Black Forest is very large, much larger than the Black Forest in later generations. After all, Germany was highly developed in later generations. In the Middle Ages, because of its limited population and many undeveloped areas, the Black Forest maintained a very large area.
In order to avoid getting lost, Marlin bought a compass, so as not to get lost in the lush black forest. Spring is also a season of resuscitation, and the animals in the forest are very active. There are also many adult animals, who, during the daytime, do the shameful thing in the forest. In this case, the insignificant Marin would not bless them, but instead gave two arrows. Then, a pair of bitter "鸳鸯" became Marin's trophy, and then was replaced with a lot of money ...
The medieval Black Forest is too big and there are too many prey in it. This also caused the Marin trio to have some trouble transporting their prey back to the forest-side town. As a last resort, Marin untied the bull "Li Chen" and put it on a saddle to allow it to enter the forest to carry its prey. Because four-wheeled ox carts cannot enter deep forests with few roads.
In some places, because the Marin three hunted too many prey, it even caused the price of meat to fall. At most, Marin hunted 6 red deer from the forest in one day, which caused the local venison price to fall from 5 fennies a pound (retail price) to 4 fennies a pound in a short time. The purchase price Also fell from 4 Finney to 3 Finney. Of course, some time after the Marin three left, the price of venison here returned to normal.
To this end, some local lords also sent people to drive Marin and his party. Because the prey killed by Marin, in the eyes of those lords, belonged to their private property. However, the lords that were sealed off on the edge of the Black Forest were usually small lords. The territory of powerful lords is mostly in those areas where agriculture is well developed. Only small lords who are not strong will be banished to the Black Forest. These little lords are generally afraid to offend the wandering knights easily. Even if Marin hunts wildly, they just send someone to drive them away. And Marin was very conscious, basically after staying in a certain area for a day or two, he sold his prey and flashed people immediately, not giving others the opportunity to catch it on the spot. The medieval communication was backward. When the local lords learned that Marin and his party hunted a large number of prey and sent people to "enforce the law," the three of them had long gone.
On average, the three Marin can reach two to three red deer each day, as well as varying numbers of hares and foxes. It was the wild boar in the forest that Marin didn't dare to provoke. Because, he was not sure to shoot the boar's bristles and thick skin with a 60-pound bow. As for Kahn being able to single out wild boars, Marin thought it was accidental. Because last time, the wild boar did not go to Kahn, but to the war horse. Kahn was on the side of the wild boar to kill the wild boar when he was not ready. Unless Kahn can put on a full set of plate armor, he can be more confident to challenge the boar. But letting an attendant wear a full set of plate armor is too luxurious. And Marin's plate armor, UU reading www.uukanshu.comom Kahn can not put on. Because, Kahn is much taller than Marin.
The three of them hunted and hunted along the way to make money, and by the way enjoyed the beauty of the Black Forest. By the time he entered the territory of Mark Bo, Marin was surprised to find that his personal assets had reached more than 500 marks. This data is almost close to the income of Huffman Manor for one year ...
"Hunting is so promising!" Marin felt infinitely.
However, Marin is also very clear that the reason why he was able to successfully retrieve these more than 500 marks of assets, or because others see him as a knight without a title. Otherwise, if an ordinary hunter enters and leaves the city, he will be blackmailed and extorted by the soldiers of the city, and the lord will collect most of his profits. Even if they can hunt prey valued at 500 marks, at least 400 marks were extorted by lords, tax officers and city guards.
Moreover, it is impossible for orion to have horses. As a result, the hunter on foot could not get too far into the Black Forest. Staying in the Black Forest for the night will be eaten by the wolves. Not only that, they also don't have the shooting skills like Marin and the best partner like Kahn.
Therefore, Marin's success is generally difficult for Orion to replicate. The people who really have the status of knights generally do n’t practice archery. They are generally used to hand-to-hand combat, and few of them can shoot archery ... Besides, who has the status, who will put down his body and become a hunter?
Even Marin himself thinks hunting is just an expedient. If a traverser makes a living by hunting, it is simply the greatest shame of the traverse world ...
