It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 832 The king and the Holy See are robbing money!Do you want to rebel?

Count Ostend stared at the letter in front of him and sighed deeply.

On the seal of the letter, on the crimson wax paint, there is a sun shining in all directions... 7 rays of light evenly distributed, plus two rays of light carved in the middle, which are very unevenly distributed.

Undoubtedly, these seven rays mean seven-color sunlight, and the newly discovered infrared rays and ultraviolet rays.According to the newly revised doctrine, this pattern symbolizes the nine divine powers of the Lord of Radiance.Up to the sky, down to the nether world.

I don't know what the Holy See wants to do when another ray is discovered in the parliament...

This seal of seal is under the seal of the archbishop, representing the majesty and power of the archbishop of the diocese.In the entire Kingdom of Brolin, there are only 17 archdioceses, and each seal ring is a high-level magical item, which has been enshrined in the Holy See Church for more than a hundred years.

To be able to engrave two new lines on the seal ring without damaging the magic circuit itself, I don't know what kind of master can do it.However, if another one is engraved, will it be engraved and collapsed?

"My dear, are you not going to open the letter?"

The Countess smiled softly.Count Ostend raised his head and smiled wryly at his wife:
"I really don't want to dismantle it.... It's either asking for food, or asking for taxes, or ordering the arrest of heretics, and ordering the port to be strictly blocked. It's all annoying..."

"You have to do your troublesome things." The countess turned behind her husband and rubbed her husband's temples with her slender fingers, her voice was gentle:

"At the very least, we still can't stand the power of the Holy See. If we can stand it, we don't have to worry about the child, just send him to the opposite side..."

During this period, the opposite side published two papers in a row.One is the first real-life case of scoliosis correction, which was performed on a 12-year-old boy, and the postoperative recovery is satisfactory;

The other one is a batch of cases. It was done on soldiers of level 3-4. A total of ten cases were done.After the operation, the War God Temple evaluated the subjects' muscle strength, agility, balance and other items one by one, and recognized their potential for continuous improvement.

The paper also mentioned that next, Master Nordmark will successively perform operations on more than ten severe patients with congenital scoliosis and complications such as chicken chest, spina bifida, syringomyelia, and abnormal cardiopulmonary function.

Count Ostend knew that this sentence was written for the couple.If these serious patients can be cured, then their son, their eldest son, the only remaining son, should, can also be cured?

"Let's see what the archbishop wrote..."

He sighed deeply.From Ostend to the Kingdom of Kent, there is an endless stream of ships traveling daily.Even the Holy See acquiesced to these merchant ships:
Import a large amount of wool from the Kingdom of Kent, and process it into wool textiles in the Netherlands and cities around the Holy See;
Export the red wine and leather products of the Brolin Kingdom, especially the exquisite leather carving crafts, as well as the light and gorgeous wool and silk products produced around the glorious Holy See, to the Kingdom of Kent;

And spices from the East, exquisite glassware, blue, white, and yellow glazed pottery, armor and armory...

These merchant ships, or smuggling ships, bring tens of millions of gold coins to the kingdom and the Holy See every year.The trading license is a sum of money, almost equal to 1/4 of the price of the goods;

Tariffs are another sum of money. If you go by land, every city and every lord's territory will almost have to pay extra tariffs;
In addition, don't open up all kinds of joints, don't make arrangements for the Holy See, the Lord's Mansion, and the officials who handle it. Understand, your goods want to be shipped out, or do you want to ship in and sell them on the ground?
Innocent!

With the license, theoretically, it can only be sold in various cities along the mainland.Although theoretically, the warships of the Kingdom and the Holy See will open and close their eyes to smugglers, but if they offend them, will they increase the patrol density...

"Yesterday another ship was found. The ship was confiscated, the personnel were sent to prison, and the boss behind the owner has been crying with me for two days..."

"We want to send our son there safely and bring him back. Now, we can't offend the Holy See..."

Count Ostend sighed.He twisted his signet ring and pressed lightly on the wax.A piece of magical light scattered in all directions, and the wax seal made a "snap" sound, and cracked into 11 yuan along the lines cut by the light:
There are ten pieces on the outside and one circle on the inside.Shake it again to shake off the fragments. At this time, the letter can be opened normally, instead of being burned by the power of the magic seal, or suddenly exploded.

Count Ostend opened the envelope and read it line by line.Look at one line, frown a little, look at another line, frown a little more.The Countess leaned on her husband's shoulders, and read with him silently, and suddenly lost her voice:
"The Holy See is so strict this time? - This is, is it going to go to war with the opponent?!"

There are not many words on the letter, but one by one, it is shocking.In the name of the Holy See and King Charles II of Brolin, a series of new edicts were promulgated:

[-]. It is forbidden to discuss and debate the sacred scriptures, teachings and other classics of the Shining God, and those who violate it will be regarded as heresy;
[-]. It is forbidden to communicate with heretics and heretics, and it is forbidden to collect products of heretics and heretics;

[-]. Prohibit secretly or publicly propagating, advocating, repeating or disseminating heretical theories;

[-]. Anyone who commits the above acts shall be regarded as an apostate and a traitor, and shall be punished by beheading, burial alive, and burning at the stake, and his property shall be confiscated;

[-]. Those who intercede for apostates and traitors, and those who ask for forgiveness, shall all be guilty of the same crime;
[-]. The local religious inquisitions are responsible for the implementation, and the local lords are obliged to cooperate unconditionally...

The handwriting on the letter is neat, each stroke is correct and delicate, and there is a faint golden light flashing in the strokes. It seems that it should be written with ink mixed with gold powder.The countess saw it in her eyes, but only saw a rich scarlet——

If this edict is passed on, I don't know how many families will be ruined and how many families will have their heads rolled.The entire Ostend collar is engaged in maritime trade, sailors, sails, ropes, linen for plugging leaks, and various goods...

If you catch a little bit of involvement and shout to kill, at least one in ten people will die!
Count Ostend held the palm of his wife's palm with his backhand, patted and stroked gently.His body was tense, but his voice was gentle, trying to comfort his wife as much as possible:
"We'll be fine. Don't worry, we'll be fine. The status of a lord comes from strength. Neither the king nor the Holy See will tear faces with us for no reason..."

"What about the little lords? What about the knights? What about the merchants? What about the fishermen?"

The Countess' bare hands trembled slightly.Before she knew it, her fists had been clenched quietly, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms, leaving a few deep blood marks:
"Why—why, suddenly—"

"I guess it's because the king has no money." Count Ostend stared fixedly at the edict on the letter, and suddenly sneered:
"Our respected Charles II, blessed by the lord of glory, the holy one who rules the earth under the light of the lord, the great one, the undefeated one, the protector of the glorious followers of the Kingdom of Brolin..."

He said dozens of titles before he stopped, and let out a cold snort from his nose:
"The previous wedding cost a lot. The wedding, the reception, the ball, the performance, the jewelry and costumes for the new queen, as well as the tribute to the Holy See... It is estimated that if there is no big businessman to lend him money, the royal family would have gone bankrupt long ago right?"

"So you use this edict to steal money?"

The countess was astonished.In the eyes of magicians who advocate wisdom, the feasibility of this edict is second, and it is too stupid:

If you are short of money, you can just increase taxes. What are you doing with an attitude of shouting, killing, and ransacking your home?
Is it forcing people to rebel?
"Of course we must use this edict." The earl's sneer became more obvious:

"Increasing taxes for no reason, causing trouble, is not justified by the royal family. Holding the big stick of faith and joining forces with the glorious Holy See, it has a righteous reputation-discussing the holy scriptures, questioning the holy scriptures, and hooking up with heretics Take it, it's tantamount to treason and treason!"

"Under the flag that is held high, it is justifiable to kill people and ransack their homes. Although the stolen things have to be distributed to the Holy See, they have also gained fame and worked hard..."

The countess' face became more and more ugly.She bowed her head silently, read the text on the letter again, and said in a low voice:

"But you won't be able to grab much in this way... The big ones don't dare to snatch, and the small ones don't grab much... Our Majesty the King, should there be other tricks?"

"I think so." Count Ostend nodded heavily.Before he finished speaking, footsteps hurriedly approached the door, and the clerk of the Earl's Mansion raised his voice at the door:

"Your Excellency! An urgent message from the capital!"

"Bring it up!"

the count answered loudly.The carved oak door was opened left and right, and the clerk was holding a silver tray to send the urgent letter with two feathers stuck to the earl's desk.The earl quickly opened it and glanced through it in a hurry, his face became darker and darker:

"Our king...our king! Hey!"

Refusal to pay the national debt!The entire Netherlands, about 900 million gold coins of due national debts, all refused to pay!It's not negotiating for an extension, it's not asking for a deferment of mortgage and interest payment, it's simply refusing to pay!
Raise export duties on wool from the Kingdom of Brolin to the Netherlands!In the entire wool textile industry of the Netherlands, two-thirds of the wool comes from the hinterland of the Kingdom of Brolin. With this increase, many workshops will go bankrupt!
Restrict Netherlandish merchants from entering the kingdom's ports!
Prohibit Dutch merchants from trading with the kingdom's overseas colonies!If you want to buy something, you can buy it at a high price from the big merchants in the kingdom, and endure a price increase of more than 100%...

"Sure enough, all the money borrowed must be repaid... The Brolin merchant borrowed a lot of money, and the Holy See of Glory borrowed a lot of money, and they squeezed us like this!"

Want to avoid being squeezed?Want to rebel?Want to find another way out?
Hey, the edict against heretics is waiting for you...

His Excellency the Earl waved his hand, signaling the clerk to go down and close the door.The heavy study door was closed tightly, the earl raised his head and held his wife's hand, and said softly:

"Madam, shall we...send the child to the opposite side?"

It's really going to be a mess, this hidden child may not be able to be kept... Or is it safer to send it to the opposite side?
"Not in a hurry." The countess shook her head slightly:
"No rush. This edict is aimed at the entire Netherlands... Let's go visit the Duke first and hear what he means?"
