The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 On Tuesday, Hadar, Olaf and others all got up early in the morning, had some bread and some milk, and then went out together and walked towards the central area.

　　 At this time the sun had just risen, and there were already many worn-out laborers rushing to the dock on the dirt road.

　　 Passing through a few lanes, everyone walked to the central area.

　　 The lawn in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion was already full of people. Olaf looked at these people wearing Nordic-style robes and hats. They should all be chiefs and leaders in Iceland.

　　 Hadar and Hoskard and Kadir have people who know each other well, so he brought Olaf, Kalm, and Heine three children forward to talk. Kalhu went to the Governor's House early because he had to serve the tax officer.

　　The court meeting hasn't started yet, and the attitudes of many leaders toward Hadar have changed compared with the past. After all, the story of "The Herut Family" has become a household name, and both Hadar and Hagrid have become stars.

　　 These leaders are also willing to make friends with Hadar and become famous figures in the annals of history.

　　 While everyone was talking, the door of the deliberative hall on the three floors in front of the Governor's Mansion was opened by guards, and a young black-haired official came out and shouted: "Please come in and rest and sit down!"

The leader of a village in Dagangbei District and Kadir are cousins, and whispered: "This kid is Siegfus' nephew. Siegfus has not yet come. It is estimated that we will have to wait until noon to meet with the governor and the three Protestant universities. The elders are here together."

　　 Everyone talked and walked into the discussion hall from under the stone pillars, and then sat down on the wooden chairs inside to talk. Some booze drinkers had already taken out the small bottles of wine from their arms and sat in a crowd.

　　 Hadar asked Heine and Kalm to look at Olaf, while he shuttled through the crowd with Horskurd and Kadir, displaying the leaders and deacons of other churches.

In addition to the governor, the most powerful in Iceland are the elders of the three parish churches in the north, south and middle of Dagang. The chiefs and leaders are in charge of each other, but since Siegfors was listed as the governor of Kaulsvin, he has become the head of Iceland. The most prestigious, the highest status one.

　　 After a long time of chaos, knowing that the air is a bit hotter, everyone saw that the back door was pushed open, and Carl Hu and the official of the Siegforth family in the morning accompanied a few middle-aged and elderly officials with potbelly.

　　The old gray-haired official headed by then clapped his hands and said with a throat: "Stop talking!"

Someone recognized that it was the tax officer of the Governor’s House, Jagland, who was in charge of taxation in various regions. This man was originally the steward of Lord Kollswin. He was reused when he came to Iceland and became the number two of Iceland’s actual power. character.

　　 Many leaders know that Jagran appears, which means that the Governor-General is coming.

　　 Just as Jagland was talking, a middle-aged man wearing a Danish-style pleated robe and hat walked out of the door. He was thin and elegant, with soft eyes and a smile at the corners of his mouth.

　　 Hadar narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and said softly in Olaf's ear: "He is Siegforth!"

　　 Olaf focused on observing the cruel Dagang leader, and then he admired in his heart: You can’t look like a man, this man looks like a scholar, but he didn’t expect it to be the enemy Siegforth...

　　 Siegfors looked around with a smile for a week, and only paused on Hadar, then he bowed and saluted in the direction outside the door with Jagran, yelling, "My lord Governor, please come!"

　　 There was a tapping sound. A white-faced young man with gray curly hair was wearing a velvet blue-bottomed aristocratic robe, dragging a long lace fold behind him, and he walked in with an arrogant and serious face.

　　 The leaders also hurriedly stroked their chests and bowed to salute, shouting unevenly: "Hello! Your Lord Governor!"

　　 Olaf is relatively short in the crowd, so he is regarded as strict without salute.

He saw through the gap that the governor of Iceland was wearing thin, close-length long trousers under the robes of Iceland’s governor Kaulsman. He also wore brown leather high heels on his feet, but the heels were sky blue. The strange outfits were mixed together. His handsome face and medium height made Olaf feel very strange in his heart, and he felt that there was no trace of beauty.

Except for Olaf, no one in the conference hall would think that there is a problem with Coulsvin’s dressing, because the aesthetics of this era have the imprint of the times, and Coulsvin’s dressing is actually very elegant, if it weren’t for his Danish royal bloodline, only This kind of dress is not qualified to wear as the governor of Iceland.

　　 Therefore, the wearing of Corsvin is also to show his status and majesty.

　　 "Please sit down."

Kaulswen walked to the sofa on the high platform under the east wall and sat down, pointing to other places beside him, and smilingly said: "Elder Eurikel! Elder Honrod, Elder Amiye, West Lord Gerfors, please sit down!"

　　 After Calvin walked out, three priests wearing embroidered gilt-rimmed robes and silver crosses on their chests followed him in.

　　 These three are the three chiefs of the Icelandic Protestant Church, the church elder in the center area, Eurikel, the church elder in the south area, Amiye, and the church elder in the north area, Honrod.

　　 The three elders and Siegfors sat beside Coleswen, and then everyone sat down again.

Jagland sat on the high stool on the left and shouted with his voice: "The Icelandic court will officially begin! This year, the various agricultural taxes to be paid in various places will not change, but because our country is attacking the German region, you need to raise additional funds. Military expenditures are supplied to the Treasury and Finance Department. The Governor decided to increase the kingdom donation and weapon maintenance costs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. The amount of money collected varies according to the size of each area. Now I will read about the war donation and other expenses that each district will pay this year... Austria Li Village 200 silver mark... Burleigh area 300 silver mark... White Hazel Grove Herut Village 400 silver mark... Darwell Village..."

　　 Yagran finished speaking, the discussion hall buzzed and exploded, and many leaders babbled about their difficulties, and they all talked about the difficulties with emotion, indicating that they could not pay such a huge amount of war donations.

The heads of Iceland actually have great autonomy, but they can't avoid making peace with every governor. After all, the governor is making a fortune with all kinds of exorbitant taxes. The heads of various regions can find ways to collect some and pay some to meet the needs of the governor, and In many cases, leaders and village tax officials collect miscellaneous taxes to make money, so everyone is not disgusted with these things.

　　 After all... Untouchables are leeks... How can you get rich if you don't cut a crop? No matter how poor the boundary is, as long as there are people, you can always squeeze out oil and water...

However, this year the governor collected too much money in the name of war donations. For the village of Herut in the white hazel forest, 400 silver marks means that every household has to bear more than ten silver marks, and more than ten silver marks basically equals Three gold marks, 5 French gold coins.

　　As the most expensive animal, a horse can only be sold for eight or nine gold coins, and a cow is worth five gold coins.

　　 The value of a cow or ten silver marks is enough for ordinary people to earn four or five years of hard work. Therefore, it is almost impossible to collect the donation of one cow at once for the free citizens of Iceland, who have not had much oil and water for a long time.

　　 But Governor Corsvin is a famous and powerful. His status and status are very distinguished. He has a guard holding a hundred people. The Icelandic chiefs dare not be too rude. They are all blushing and rough bargaining with Jagland.
