Chapter 88: Go home for the new year

Twenty-five hours later, the women were so tired that they let go of Columbus ...
女人 These women are weak and have limited lethality. As a result, Columbus was not harmed by too much crushing crit. However, these women are good at scratching people. When Columbus got up, his face was scratched with bloodstains, but he was scratched ...
When Columbus got up, he immediately planned to heal the scar on his face. However, he is now penniless, and the moneybags on his body have been taken away by the soldiers who copied it.
Fortunately, the clothes on his body were noble clothes made of expensive silk materials. Moreover, when the group of sisters in the kiln beat him, they greeted her face without tearing his clothes.
As a result, Columbus changed his luxurious silk clothes to a gold coin and quickly healed his face ...
However, this year, the medical level in Europe is extremely low, far less than that of Eastern Chinese medicine. This is mainly because the church is powerful these years, and Europeans are far more superstitious than the East. Naturally, they do not pay attention to the development of medicine. Furthermore, dissection is considered a blasphemy. The beginning of European medicine really came after the defeat of the Catholic Church in the religious war. Because at that time, the authority of the Holy See was swept away, and many people no longer believed in God and began to study science, which helped to promote the development of medicine.
And this year, many people see a doctor and go to a priest who asks for a blessing and holy water. This stalk is no different from the Chinese who worship the gods and drink the grey water of the runes. Anyway, it is to die for yourself.
So, Columbus could only find a lame Spanish doctor to treat the wound on his face. The end result was that the blood on Columbus's face was stopped, but the scars were permanently left. More specifically, Columbus was out of phase.
遮 In order to cover the scars on his face, Columbus bought a simple mask to wear. After receiving his wife and two sons, Columbus quietly took out some of his deposit at the branch of the Genoa Bank in Cadiz. Then he bought a bronze mask and changed his name to Anthony, bringing the original His wife and children who went on vacation went to Portugal, hoping that the Portuguese royal family who valued navigation could support his sailing career.
The reason why Columbus changed his name was not to fear that the Spanish authorities were against him. The queen copied Columbus's house and would not continue to follow him. But those are different. They lost their jobs because Columbus brought back syphilis. So those who hated Columbus the most were those. Basically, if recognized, they would "see and scratch" Columbus once. Moreover, Columbus is no longer a Spanish aristocracy. Without the protection of guards, he dare not face up to those legions.
Uh ...
At this point, it was the end of 1496. Just as Columbus was out of luck, Marin was preparing to go home for Chinese New Year.
The recruitment of the new Spanish Phalanx has been basically completed. However, for specific training work, Marin can be thrown to Schwartz and Flenzberg to handle. The two are also very enthusiastic about training the square. Moreover, before returning home, Marin gave each of them a big red envelope of 100 gold coins, which made them extremely happy.
Marin himself, with a few of Kahn and 20 guards, landed from Den Helder, one horse and two horses, all the way to the Huffman estate in Bochum to go home for Christmas.
After a long journey, Marin finally rushed back to Huffman Manor on Christmas Eve. Back home, Marin was welcomed by his family and "siege" by his brother and sister. Because, Marin promised to take his brother and sister to live on the island castle did not fulfill the promise.
For this, Marin is helpless. His aggressive recruitment of Frisian fishermen offended the Frisian aristocratic republic and could lead to conflict between the two sides. To be on the safe side, he has not picked up his brother and sister to live on the island and live in the castle. The old Huffmans and the adult Adler naturally understood, but the younger brothers and sisters couldn't understand. Therefore, after returning home, Marin was strongly "condemned" by his siblings ...
安 In order to appease his brother and sister, Marin made a big trick of "smashing with gold coins" and gave two younger brothers and one sister 10 gold coins each, which instantly extinguished their anger. You know, brothers and sisters usually get a few pocket money for Finnies. And Marin shot 10 gold coins, valued at 600 Finneys, and instantly shocked the three babies. Then, they couldn't bother to condemn Marin, and all went back to hide the gold coins to avoid being confiscated and confiscated by Mrs. Mary.
The family dinner on Christmas Eve was fun. After praying, the family began to enjoy delicious roasted goose, roasted suckling pig, braised pork (feeling so dissonant, basically messy) ... and cooked apples, raw vegetables ... … And so on.
Because Marin ordered a large amount of coal produced by the manor, the economic situation of the Huffman manor was very good. With the money, the old Huffman spent money to repair the house, making the original two country houses into four villas plus a tall wall. This layout is somewhat similar to a castle, but there are fewer rooms than a castle. Therefore, this layout is more like a large mansion in the east. The fence is tall and wide. It can stand on the head and patrol, and has military functions. In order to protect the interests of the manor and the coal mine, Huffman Manor set up a 20-man guard, including five attendants from the old Huffman and Adler.
"Marin, how's your Texel island going?" After the meal, the old Huffman asked leisurely, scratching his teeth.
"OK, I plan to invest huge sums of money next year to build Denborg into a true military fortress to guard against the puppet of others."
"Military fortress? That's not cheap. If you say, there aren't tens of thousands of gold coins!" Old Huffman said in surprise. For Marin's financial situation, the old Huffmans are obviously not very clear.
"It's nothing, Dad. I use our estate's coal to cook salt on the island, and the profit is very high. In a year, I can make hundreds of thousands of gold coins." In fact, Marin's profit from cooking salt every year is 21 Ten thousand gold coins. Even, Marin also plans to expand the scale of cooking salt and make more profits.
However, he was worried that when the family heard the news, his mouth would be wide and he would reveal the secret. So he said less and avoided others knowing the secret. You know, redness doesn't only affect Chinese people, but also Europeans. After the rise of the Spanish colonial empire, the British, because of their jealousy, started pirates and robbed Spanish gold ships.
So, for safety reasons, Marin said as little as possible about specific profits. But even so, the family was shocked ...
"More than 100,000 gold coins? One year?" The old Huffman and Mrs. Mary were extremely shocked. In a blink of an eye, the old Huffmans and their pride before the annual profit of the manor and coal mine reached tens of thousands of gold coins were immediately hit ...
Relying on large orders from the Wiggins Chamber of Commerce and Texel Island, the annual income of Huffman Manor is operated by coal mines, but only more than 10,000 gold coins. This income, compared to those knight lords of pure breeding land, is quite awesome. But compared with Marin, it really is nothing ...
"Father, mother, Marin is a baron. Our family is a knight leader. Can it be compared with a baron leader? A baron leader can divide more than a dozen knight leaders!" Adler was fat and fat. He feels normal for Marin to earn more than 100,000. After all, Marin is a baron, and baron leaders usually have more than a dozen knight leaders.
However, he obviously did not take into account that ordinary knights can earn two or three thousand gold coins a year. Huffman Manor has an annual income of tens of thousands of gold coins, and is definitely in a leading position in the knight collar.
"Wow, my brother is so rich! Brother Marin, we have a lot of good stuff, you buy it for us?" I heard that Marin was so rich, Simon, Albert, and Anne, three little guys, tangled Marin, starting to be coquettish.
"No problem, no problem, I've got the three of you, Simon and Albert's steeds and armors. I will also do a lot of dowry for Anne ..."
I heard that the dowry, the little girl Annie couldn't take it anymore. Shy Annie, covering her face, saying "brother is bad", she ran away with a blush.
It was Simon and Albert who had two goods, and he strongly demanded that Marin cash in the war horse and armor in advance ...
"Now to you? No. The war horse is okay to say that the armor is not enough. Your height has not been finalized, and you are still growing. The armor is customized according to your height. You ca n’t customize the plate armor until your height no longer grows . "
"But brother Marin, don't you also have a stubborn height, and have begun to wear armor to the battlefield?" Simon countered.
It is true that Marin went to the battlefield at the age of 16 and wore half a worn set of plate armor. And Marin's height is still growing. However, really on the battlefield, Marin did not wear a knight plate, but two-thirds of the chest plate, wearing a steel helmet.
"Brother is not wearing a knight armor, it is a simple armor, the type that Kahn wears."
"The simple armor with half-blocked body? You wear that on the battlefield?" Old Huffman was dissatisfied. As an old knight, he thought that Marin's simple plate armor was for ordinary soldiers. Unexpectedly, Marin also wore that kind of low-level armor in his own battles, wasn't he joking about life ...
父亲 "Father, I'm a commander, not a knight in charge. What I'm prepared for is only the enemy's target. So that kind of armor is enough. You know, there are thousands of them in front of me ..."
"Always wear a full set of plate safety points ..." Old Huffman insisted on this profession.
"But the full set of plate armor is heavy. I'm not as strong as Adler ..."
"Huh?" The old Huffman was so angry that this bear child dare to talk back. Tempering up, the old Huffman was ready to beat Marin. But thinking that this child is already a baron, I finally decided to give the child a face ...
对 "By the way, Marin, you said you would give it to Simon and Albert. When will it be returned?" Old Huffman changed the subject.
"After two years, they have a few years of adulthood. It happens that my batch of war horses are being mated and cannot be separated for the time being. After two years, I pick two good ones for them. By the way, I also pick two stronger ones. Horses, transfer them. "
"Either ..."
其实 "Actually ... Father, Simon and Albert may not need to continue to be knights to fight. Both Adler and I have become knights. The two of them, in fact, can do something else, there is no need to venture into the battlefield ..."
"What then? Huffman family, there is no fear of war. Besides, what can they do without fighting?" Old Huffman stared.
"You can transfer to civilian office ..." Marin suggested.
"Civilian work? His father is a big boss who can only fight. Can they do civilian work?" Old Huffman didn't believe his child had the ability to be a civil servant.
"Dad, have you forgotten your mother? She is a clever woman. It is no problem for her to teach her two younger brothers and train them to become civil servants. When they are bigger, I plan to send them to Cologne for college." Mrs. Mary listened and immediately gave Marin a look that "you guys have eyes".
"But ... they will be civil servants, who will accept them ..." Old Huffman was a little hesitant ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Me ... Daddy, my baron leader is short of civil servants. My men are all rude men who direct fights and fight, and civilian officials are in charge of administration. "
"It's not bad, but can you wait until they grow up? When they grow up, your baron officer will be full?"
"That's not necessarily true, who said that I will only be a baron in the future? When the emperor has a new war to fight in the future, I will make a few more credits, maybe the viscount (deputy count) or the count ..."
"Earl ..." Everyone was silent. For a knight family, the count is simply unattainable.
"Marin ... next time you fight, can you bring me, and let me ... make a contribution or something ..." Adler stammered.
He is very envious of Marin's success. Adler is 21 years old, but he has not yet become a knight with a title. As for his future, Adler didn't have much ambition. He thought that if he could become an Imperial Knight, he would be satisfied. At least, the Knights of the Empire were one grade higher than the Knights of the Kingdom of Mark.
不 "No, you're a kid, I won't let you enter the battlefield before giving birth to the eldest son!" Old Huffman was unwilling. The second son went to the battlefield, there was no land closure, and the choice of being forced to do nothing was tantamount to changing his life for the future. But the eldest son, obviously has the estate and the coal mine inheritance, what are they going to do? If you accidentally die on the battlefield, that's bad. The old Huffman knew very well that although Adler had good martial arts, Marin was far behind. Such an inattentive guy can easily become a cannon fodder on the battlefield.
