The Rise of the European Emperor

Remember [New] for a second,! In fact, in exchange for German mercenaries, this "French grass and sawdust cake" will not be too repulsive at all. why? The black loaves eaten by the German mercenaries, with a pile of dirt and stones, often break their teeth, are not as good as this kind of bread with grass and sawdust.

Therefore, from the film and television dramas of German mercenaries in later generations, German mercenaries are often seen drinking soup around a large pot. It's not that the soup is delicious, it may be vegetable soup. But not without scooping the soup. Because the black baguette is too hard to chew, it must be soaked in hot soup before eating. The "French grass and sawdust cake" is just a throat, similar to the stick noodles, which can be eaten directly.

But the Italians are different. Because of the warm southern Europe and the fertile volcanic ash soil, the Italian region has more mountains, but limited plains and river valleys, but still produces more abundant food than the German region. Besides, Italians are good at business. Cheap food can be imported from Eastern European countries, even if local food production is insufficient.

Therefore, the appetite of Italian mercenaries has also been raised, and they are not used to this kind of coarse bread. However, they also have no choice. Besides, during the war, some food is good, how about the taste?

The French are also ruthless, they add wild vegetables, but they try to save trouble and add wild grass directly. It looks similar to wild vegetables, but in fact, the taste is very poor, and it is not a vegetable. Fortunately, they still had a trace of conscience, and they sent the poor to taste it, and those grass blades with extremely bad taste were not mixed in.

However, later the French were surprised to find that the leaves that seem to be mixed with clover (that is, alfalfa) enter the bread, the taste will not be reduced, and the source is very rich. It's very simple, just go to the pasture and grab food from the cows and sheep

This opened the door to a new world for the French, and then, out of control

Since then, the French have begun to mix alfalfa leaves in bread. The baguette has also become pastured bread.

You must know that in this era, the level of European agriculture was extremely poor, and an acre of land yielding 100 pounds per acre was considered good. Used to make bread, a drop in the bucket. French sticks are similar to German black sticks, they can be used as bricks to smash people, and they are full of dirt and stones. If all flour was used, the poor could not afford it.

And what about adding clover (alfalfa) leaves? There are thousands of pounds of alfalfa per acre, and thousands of pounds of hay. You don't need hay to make bread, you can directly use fresh grass leaves. One acre of fresh alfalfa leaves can be mixed with flour from ten or twenty acres of land to make bread. The key is that the taste is not bad, much better than sawdust grass chaff.

Then, affected by this incident, the romantic France became the grass-eating France

Then, the French animal husbandry was greatly affected. why? The pasture eaten by cattle and sheep was robbed

"Fuck!" The news came back to Aurich, and Marin not only sighed. What the heck, the French in the 16th century were so good at maintaining health? They all learned to eat grass

Of course, the information returned by John Lafite shows that this kind of pasture bread is only accepted by the poor at the bottom, after all, it is for survival. The nobles and priests firmly refused. Because, they think eating the same things as animals is an insult to their identity.

Marin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the French aristocracy did not accept it.

What Marin is most worried about is that France has solved the problem of military rations since then. After all, the yield of fresh alfalfa per mu is dozens of times that of rye. Even if only leaves are used instead of grass stems, the input of more than ten acres of wheat can be reduced.

If alfalfa leaves were used in large quantities in French military rations, it would solve a big problem. At that time, the number of French violent soldiers can be more than ten or two hundred thousand.

Although the French nobles and clergy refused to eat bread with fortified grass, Marin still felt unsafe. So he dispatched spies to trumpet in French taverns, belittling the practice of eating pasture bread.

After thinking about it for a long time, Marin came up with a solution. He viciously asked his subordinates to publicize in France that pasture is for animals to eat. If you eat too much animal ration pasture, even if you ascend to heaven after death, you will be in heaven. in the barn. Because, you have become a beast of heaven. And then slaughtered at will by the people who live in heaven

I have to say that Marin's propaganda is too vicious. Many devout Christians have begun to resist pasture bread. Even, they do not refuse to eat soil and stones, but they refuse to eat bread with grass added, although the taste of alfalfa leaves is not bad.

As a result, a food revolution in France was brought back to its original shape by the sinister Marin. But many people don't know that when Marin just crossed over, because he was so hungry, he even grabbed weeds with his war horse Karl to eat. At that time, the war horse Karl was stunned - why did the master grab the grass with me? However, it was a secret that Marin would never tell anyone. Otherwise, it is too detrimental to the glorious image.

It's not enough for Marin to publicize it himself. He even secretly contacted the Pope's father-in-law and asked his father-in-law to question the behavior of mixing the pasture in the bread on various occasions. Moreover, he also ambiguously agreed with the statement that "if you eat too much pasture and go to heaven, you will live in heaven's barn". Under the impetus of the North Sea country's spies, the news spread quickly. Then the French's use of pasture for bread was hit hard.

However, the cunning Charles, Count of Nantes, did not want to give up the practice of adding grass to bread. Because this can save a lot of food and money for the Kingdom of France.

So, he learned the practice of grinding rye stalks into straw chaff in Beihai, and had people quietly chop up alfalfa leaves to make them into shreds. In this way, the Italian mercenaries would not recognize it as pasture. Then, add a small amount of ordinary wild vegetables, and you're done.

But in France, they did not do so. After all, it has nothing to do with Italians being animals of paradise. But if the news of the people in your own country becoming livestock spreads out, the throne of François I will be affected.

Seeing that a "food revolution" was suppressed, Marin was relieved. why? Everyone is eating grass, who will buy the food of Beihai Kingdom? When the time comes, will the food be out of hand?

Therefore, no matter from the perspective of preventing sufficient military supplies in France or from the perspective of food sales in Beihai, Marin does not allow everyone to eat grass~www.readwn.com~ Even in Beihai, Marin unites the church and prohibits people from grazing , and officially endorsed that it would indeed become an animal.

Christians do not have the concept of an afterlife, but after death they will go to heaven or hell. People go to heaven to enjoy happiness, but they don't want to be animals, even if they are animals in heaven.

Fortunately, Marin has a father-in-law who is the Pope and has the endorsement of the Holy See, and most Christians believe it. Only a small number of ungodly people will add alfalfa to their bread recklessly. However, such people are a minority after all, and they dare not eat grass openly.

In this way, Marin, through a series of means and the help of the Holy See, successfully curbed the French revolutionary behavior of mixing pasture in bread, and also kept the food market.

However, this also brings some negative issues. That is - the grass chaff in Kohler's bread is also grass. The people of Beihai Country had eaten Kohler's bread for a long time, and Beihai Country had a panic of "worrying about entering the barn in paradise after death".

Fortunately, Malin has Beihai Country's number one cheating Archbishop Taylor. Archbishop Taylor himself came forward to cheat, it is an explanation - the straw chaff of Beihai Country is made of rye stalks, not pasture, and people will not become heaven if they eat it. or regional livestock.

Malin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got rid of it and attacked himself.
