Good-looking, not allowed to farm

Jamie was already an Earl.

After a dangerous impostor and a dizzying intrigue, he has completely escaped from the life of the inferior people in this world and successfully entered the upper class. From then on, he can live a relatively comfortable, luxurious and comfortable life up.

But strangely, it wasn't as happy as he expected.

On the contrary, I am often a little lonely and lonely.

So, when no one is looking...

He still chose to leave the house alone, took a rental carriage, and headed towards a small building facing the river in the west of the city.

Because Macomb and George had moved there temporarily.

At this time, Jamie had no need for Macomb and the others. He could have drawn a clear line with them and never contacted them again. From then on, he could be his Lord Earl with peace of mind...

But he had a vague feeling that if he really did this, he might not be able to sleep peacefully every day, and regret it for the rest of his life.

So, even though he knew that dealing with the rebels was an extremely risky thing, he still came here without hesitation and without hesitation.

And, it also brought some...

In his opinion, it should be something that is helpful to them.

Besides, he made up his mind not to run away any more, and to have a good chat with Macomb frankly!

But before we talk...

Jamie took out the money first: "Well, although it's not as much as 50, the 20 is still a little bit of my heart."

Macomb froze for a moment, very surprised: "God! Where did you get so much money?"

Jamie replied: "Part of it is the share after the performance of "Maria", part of it is the reward from His Majesty, and part of it is the annual salary issued by the court after I became an earl..."

Malcolm frowned, but didn't look at the money.

He just stared at Jamie and said seriously: "Don't fool me, the performance share of "Maria" is at most [-] to [-] yuan, and there are still a bunch of people boycotting it recently, I'm afraid it won't even reach [-] to [-] yuan! As for No matter how many rewards the king gave you, they couldn’t reward one hundred thousand, right? As for the annuity, you have just become an earl, even if this year’s is paid in advance, and next year’s is paid in advance. ..."

"For nobles, the amount of money is not much."

Jamie thought for a while, and probably felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, so he said it directly: "You don't know, there is such a type of businessman who happily comes to the door and offers to give credit to nobles. If it wasn't for me I have only been an earl for a few days, and I know relatively few ways, and I can get far more money than this."

"But the debt must be repaid, right?"

Macomb said worriedly: "Although the rebels are short of money, they can't let you go into debt..."

Jamie waved his hand and said, "You are wrong about this, even if there is no such thing as you, I would still find an opportunity to borrow money."

As he spoke, a very sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "These days, any noble will have debts. So much so that everyone thinks that debts are a very fashionable thing. If those who are not in debt, they will still be ridiculed behind their backs for being stingy and stingy... Not long ago, at a banquet, there was a viscount playing cards with him, and he lost [-] pounds in just one night. Money is money."

George couldn't help but repeat in surprise: "Eight thousand a night?"

He was inconceivable and distressed and said: "What can you do with this money, why is it all exported!"

Jamie spoke from the side: "Who says it's not, but among the nobles, this is a good reputation for being generous and bold. Next..."

He hesitated for a moment, but said directly: "The merchant also wanted to bribe me. He has a son who is taking part in the knight examination. Duke Henry's work."

"Can the title of knight be bought?"

"Hasn't it been like this for a long time? Don't talk about rich people buying knight titles, just talking about nobles, and they are still doing some trading titles in private... By the way, it is still a good job given by the king. I will think about it after a while." The Xijue was not approved due to various reasons, I am afraid that they will come to me to hand over the documents and find ways! Sigh, speaking of these titles in the court, they are probably earls, marquises, dukes, etc. It's worth it."

Hearing these inside stories from him, Macomb probably meant that besides titles that could be bought and sold, there was actually a meaning that he had to get money first if he wanted to do anything.

It can be seen from this that to what extent has the atmosphere in the court of this country become so bad?He couldn't help but sighed softly and didn't speak.

Jamie paused, and then said softly: "Anyway...that's the way it is. The money is enough to save many people's lives if taken outside; but let me here, it's just gambling money for a few nights."

"You're right, but it sounds a bit uncomfortable."

Malcolm finally agreed to accept the windfall.

He originally thought that this trip to the king's city would come back completely without success, but he didn't want to gain something at the last moment.

"It's really thanks to this child's help!"

Macomb couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's really unexpected that the child in the prison back then has grown to this point alone..."

But he changed his mind to Jamie's courage and wit when he escaped from prison, and couldn't help thinking to himself with relief: "It's not surprising, he is very smart, but the most rare thing is that even if he becomes a nobleman, he still does not lose his true self." Heart, willing to give money to help the people."

However, such a young man knows how to think about the people outside.

But what about those aristocratic courtiers in the court who are mature and prudent, who claim to be the pillars of their ministers?

Macomb was a little angry because of this, and couldn't help saying angrily: "The country has become like this, but His Majesty the King has turned a blind eye and indulged those nobles to do evil and evil. It is precisely because of this that we have to continue to revolt..."

"But what's the use of piecemeal uprisings?"

Jamie is usually very reluctant to get involved in this matter, but now, it is rare to refute uncharacteristically: "Violence can relieve hatred for a while, but it can't change the status quo after all. Other ordinary members of the rebel army are fine, as long as your upper class, if there is no one There are enough guidelines and policies to direct everyone how to do it...then, after the violence is suppressed, everything is nothing more than going back to the way it was, a waste of time.”

"what?"

Macomb looked at him, quite surprised: "Your words are very insightful, can you tell me more in detail."

"The point is, what kind of country do you want?"

"Of course it's a good country, where everyone can have enough to eat and be warmly clothed..."

"It's too big!"

Jamie interrupted directly: "Macomb, have you seriously studied why the peasants can't get enough to eat? Don't blame it all on the arbitrariness of the nobles."

Malcolm was stunned, and couldn't help lowering his head in thought.

George on the side looked at the two of them, and felt that they were really powerful, knowledgeable, and able to think, but his mind was empty and he couldn't think of anything. Envious, he tried his best to remember what they said, trying to recite silently. Come down and think about it later.

At this time, perhaps because of his impatience, Jamie spoke directly and settled an account first: "Let me give you an example. I originally wanted to farm the land well, so I deliberately studied such a thing. Stuff."

"Suppose there is a farmer who lives on a noble estate, and he happens to have an income of one hundred pounds. Then, let's do the math."

"First of all, half of the one hundred pounds is to be used as taxes and paid to the government. This is the money that must be paid. Then, he has to take fifteen pounds out of it and hand it over to the nobles who belong to this fief— —The titular lord, this is also a rule set since ancient times. There are about fifteen pounds, which is probably to pay some city construction and maintenance fees."

"Then, the remaining twenty pounds will be used not only to bribe the tax officials who come to collect taxes, but also to deal with some low-level officials who come to search, such as the police and salt officials."

"In addition, some new taxes may appear from time to time... For example, when there is a war, there will be an additional military service tax, and when you want to buy and sell things, you have to pay a separate commodity tax..."

"Waiting until the end..."

Jamie said with a bit of a sigh: "It seems like a lot of income of one hundred pounds, but if there are more than ten pounds left over, it is considered a big harvest."

Macomb immediately asked: "So, the reason for all this is the unreasonable tax system? I have thought about this too, but..."

"Stop! Why don't you think about it further, who created these unreasonable tax systems?"

"The nobles? But in this way, our conversation comes back? Aren't we just fighting against those nobles all the time?"

"But is it useful to resist them? It's like A exploiting you. You rise up against A and get A away. Then, the king sends a B there. You continue to fight and get B away. Then, the king sends C over again. ..."

Malcolm was amused by his string of ABCs.

He couldn't help showing a ridiculous expression on his face: "It can't be the same, right?"

"The world is as black as a crow."

Jamie came to a conclusion without hesitation.

"But if you say that, there is no way to solve the matter? Unless..."

Macomb paused, clenched his hands into fists a little nervously, letting his heart beat violently in his chest, pretending to be nonchalant, and tentatively said a sentence that can be regarded as shocking in this world: "Unless, we change the king?"

Sure enough, George next to him was taken aback.

He raised his round face and looked at Macomb in astonishment, with a look of disbelief.

Just because in this world, everyone regards the king as a god!

The members of the Rebel Army are already extremely rare rebellious existences in this world, but they are ignorant, and most of them are forced to rebel.

But while resisting, it is mostly aimed at the government and the nobles. As for the king... when it is mentioned daily, it is always with a bit of awe.

However, Jamie obviously didn't feel this way.

He seemed to have just heard a very common sentence, and even asked casually: "Is this any different from replacing A with B and C?"

Hearing this, Macomb was stunned, but he also had a kind of ecstasy when he met a fellow traveler. He couldn't help thinking excitedly: "I thought that I was deviant enough, but it turns out that there are still people who think like me in this world." people!"

He was so happy that he laughed out loud.

Then, under George's nervous and terrified gaze, he agreed very naturally: "There is no difference, so what do you think?"

Jamie struggled for a few seconds.

He didn't want to get involved too much, let alone command blindly.

But the world is so fucked up!

So that from time to time he would have the urge to "I can't stand it anymore, let's destroy it".

Forget it, in order to avoid suffocating myself to death...

He silently took out a pamphlet.
