Chapter 145 Someone is related, someone is worried, someone is coming

"According to the Grand Duke's order, you have to pay an extra poll tax every year."

In Adrian, the newly appointed officials spoke the latest decree to the Crescent believers in the city.

"My lord, may I ask if the previous announcement still counts?"

"The Grand Duke is merciful. He originally wanted to drive you out, but he just collected an extra tax. Of course, the previous ones are counted, as long as you do not violate the law."

Wallachia treats these heretics very gently, and can collect taxes without letting them riot. You must know that during the Ottoman rule, there were many Balkan Cypriots. There are 10 Turks in Bulgaria alone. Natolia came.

The most stable method is Osman's Millet system, but Peter did not do it, because although this system allows Osman to expand rapidly, it is also one of the reasons why he will be divided in the future.If you want to rule for a long time, you must assimilate them.

Collecting poll taxes, encouraging the development of religious orders, and suppressing the New Moon Sect are all being done.As a result, there was a wave of emigration. Some Turkic people packed their bags and returned to Anatolia. The rest were people at the bottom. They had no financial resources to support an emigration and could only be at their mercy.

In a house on the side of the street, several turbaned people are discussing things in Turkic language.

"Now many of our people have been arrested, and a few brothers were executed a few days ago."

"The whole of Rumelia is like this. There are hundreds if not thousands of brothers suffering. We will also be arrested if this continues."

"Has Allah abandoned us?"

These people belong to the Ottoman Bektash Order and are the beneficiaries of the Ottoman expansion policy. After Wallachia acquired here, their situation became increasingly difficult. Wallachia hunted down the Crescent Order all over the country. People, they Baktash bear the brunt.A large number of members of the religious order were arrested and executed, propaganda works were burned, and missionary sites were confiscated, replaced by the Orthodox Church of Andre.

Such a situation was unexpected to them, and they had to fight back, or sooner or later their heads would be beheaded.

"Don't say that, we are chosen by Allah, we will not fail."

Some fanatics said they would fight Wallachia to the death, and others called back to fight back, because this is courting death.

The quarrel grew louder, and suddenly the door was kicked open, and Wallachian soldiers rushed in and seized them.

"We are just civilians, why did you arrest us?"

"Civilian, don't think you don't know what you're doing, you heretics."

They were all imprisoned, and the two Turks were rewarded with 60 lei.

There are quite a few cases like this. After all, the religious order has become a thorn in Wallachia's side. As long as it can destroy them, any trick can be used.

The expansion of the territory also allowed businessmen to see opportunities. They really wanted to gain more profits in these places. When the news of the signing of the treaty came, some people immediately prepared to flex their muscles in the new territory.They bought Turkic properties at very low prices, and then invested in production, earning a lot of money from it.

Farmers also benefited. Those peasant serfs who lived on the Ottoman land became free farmers, and the land they cultivated became their own, and they would not have to pay taxes in the next few years, so they could accumulate property.

"Father, let's take a break."

Darian looked at his farming father and handed him the water bottle.

"No, I finally got the land, of course I have to take good care of it."

The Darian family was originally a serf in Ottoman Sipahi. Later, the Wallachian army came and Sipahi disappeared. The subsequent land decree allowed them to obtain the land they cultivated.

Once you have land, you need to cultivate it well. Farmers have no culture. They only know that Wallachia has given them land, so they should regard Wallachia as their reborn parents.Even his own son can contribute.

"With the land, seeds and farm tools are distributed from above. Is there such a good adult in the world? We should be grateful to him and thank him for giving us a second life."

"understood"

There are quite a few farmers like the Darian family. They were all moved by Wallachia's actions, and coupled with the guidance of the church, they all wished to dedicate their lives to the Grand Duke.Therefore, the current policies can be promoted normally, and the war bonus has not been exhausted.

----split line----

In Constanta, a ship flying the flag of the Valleolo family docked on the shore.From above came down guards, priests, maids, and finally a woman in Roman royal attire.Before stepping off the deck, she looked at the double-headed eagle flag of Valleolo for the last time, and then officially set foot on the land of Wallachia.Someone was already waiting for her.

"Your Highness, this is Mrs. Gabriel, who is also the steward of the Wallachia royal family."

Lady Gabriel saluted Princess Sofia, who responded in fluent Wallachian.

After unifying Moreia, Theodore also planned to send his daughter to Wallachia. He still had a lot of things to deal with. He was worried about his daughter here, so he might as well put her in his future husband's house, so that he could Get used to it in advance.

Originally, the princess's marriage was to be discussed with Basilius, but Manuel had to think about how to face Ottoman. Naturally, he and Wallachia had to discuss the princess's marriage.

Sophia also knew that her mission was to promote Rome, especially the alliance between Morea and Wallachia.She had never heard of this country before, and only knew that this country was similar to Kievan Rus 100 years ago, in the north, in a semi-civilized state, etc.

She also couldn't expect how well she married, after all, the current Roman Empire is no longer even a second-rate country.Sophia regards herself as Princess Anna married to Grand Duke Vladimir of Kievan Rus, and hopes to use her own strength to promote the integration of Rome and Wallachia.

On board, she desperately learns everything about Wallachia.Wallachian has been learned since the year of their engagement, and they can use it smoothly now.Wallachia's clothing, eating habits and other habits are also learning, which shows how much effort she has made to integrate into Wallachia.

Although she is a princess, the dowry group this time is the smallest in the Roman Empire.There are 120 people in total, including maids, translators, priests, etc., as well as some silk and jewelry.

These things must be laughed at by the Wallachians.But these are the best that Morea can come up with, but Theodore heard that his future son-in-law likes Greek and Roman culture, so he brought a large number of ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts as a dowry to Wallachia, so that Daughter is better.
