If the letter is not delivered, the main responsibility for the whole thing is kiajan, and Pedro is also to blame. Chechen can distinguish right from wrong. He really thinks they are too greedy this time. Even if kiayang did this, how could his uncle do the same?

What Chechen didn\'t know and couldn\'t understand was that in the Republic, like Pedro, farmers were allowed to cultivate the land given to the Lord for five to six days a week. Even Pedro learned from these predecessors.

But it would be unfair to blame all the things on the cruelty and greed of the nobility.

The so-called individual is inseparable from the era. The reason why the great nobles and Jewish rent collectors in Poland are so greedy is that the original one-day voluntary labor has become four to five days, which is inseparable from the whole era.

Later economists have a special term to describe that change - price revolution.

The great geographical discovery in the 15th century has profoundly changed the fate of all mankind. And because of its outbreak of "price revolution" (the price revolution was caused by the devaluation of gold and silver in Europe and the rise of prices in the 16th-17th century due to the flow of cheap gold and silver from America to Europe. It began in Spain in the 1930s and later extended to Britain, France, Germany and other countries. In the hundreds of years before the 16th century, prices in Western Europe remained stable except for short-term fluctuations due to war or poor harvest. However, with the discovery of America and SIA In the 16th century alone, the amount of gold in Europe increased from 550000 kg to 1192000 kg; silver increased from 7 million kg to 21.4 million kg.) it completely changed the fate of farmers in Poland and Lithuania.

Just as silver from Mexico and Japan saved the precarious rule of the Ming Dynasty since the middle of the 16th century, the massive growth of the population and industrial development in Western Europe, the influx of gold and silver and the increasing demand for food all contributed to a major event that changed the historical track of Poland: the rise of food prices.

While the price of grain has risen, some people are happy and others are worried. The happy ones are the rich farmers and village heads who export grain directly to Western Europe from Gdansk port. They worry about the aristocratic class whose main income is land rent. They charge fixed currency land rent in the traditional way, because with the influx of silver from America, money is worthless, and their real income is reduced due to currency devaluation, falling into poverty Production.

In order to get rid of the impact of the price revolution on themselves, the nobles in Poland, like the nobles in other countries, tried every means. At first, they used their power and existing wealth to annex a large number of farmers\' land, establish more and more servitude manors, and proposed the method of increasing the amount of land on hand to alleviate the economic crisis caused by the price revolution When the method is no longer effective, they try their best to squeeze farmers and improve their free working hours every week, so as to squeeze more milk on the premise of feeding grass as little as possible.

After he got vidava, Pedro naturally became a land aristocrat. Of course, any of his actions will inevitably be affected by the "price revolution" like other aristocrats.

Building manors, leveling land and resettling refugees all need money. Not to mention Pedro\'s stingy nature (Pedro does not regard the refugees who cannot fight as mercenaries), the meager land income of vidavana is a drop in the bucket under the rising prices, especially during the war.

Of course, there is a way to effectively solve this problem, that is to change the form of fixed land rent, collect physical land rent, and then buy food in Western Europe to earn more money. But in Poland, where the aristocrats around are collecting fixed land rent, Pedro has no vision and can\'t know the price difference between food in Western Europe and food in Eastern Europe. He can only stick to it like others Since he has no ability to open source, Pedro can only squeeze farmers to save money as much as possible.

Although Cherchen can\'t see through the deeper thing of the price revolution, and can\'t use this theory to justify his uncle, anyway, Pedro is his uncle after all. Cherchen can only persuade, but can\'t and can\'t bear to blame. This is a little selfish of him.

Well, pushing Kian out as a scapegoat is actually the best way.

From a perceptual point of view, Cherchen did not like Jews like keayan. They were mercenary and selfless. It was entirely reasonable and tenable to punish them for burning the manor. In fact, when the nobles of Eastern European countries could not afford to pay back the money they owed to the Jews, they could deny the Jews even for unreliable reasons Some even forced the Jews to burn the promissory note with a knife without any condemnation, because this is allowed by the society. Just like Charlotte, a Jew in the merchant of Venice written by British playwright Shakespeare, in court, Portia wisely promised Shylock that she could peel any pound of Antonio\'s flesh, but if a drop of blood was shed (the contract only wrote a pound of meat, but did not promise to give Shylock any drop of blood), he used his life and property to make up for it. This is completely based on perverse reasoning and sophistry, but it was agreed by the judge for only one reason, that is, Charlotte is a Jew.

But from a rational point of view, Chechen also believes that everything ji\'ayan and his son did in order to escape for their lives is understandable. Realistically, ji\'ayan did not reduce the burden of farmers because his letter was not delivered. If ji\'ayan received his letter, but Yang Feng disobeyed or even ignored it, that would be the real crime.

More importantly, punishing giajan is tantamount to admitting Pedro\'s lax discipline.

"Although keayan is wrong, it\'s not all his fault," Chechen said.

At this time, Cherchen finally decided to solve the matter at the expense of his own interests.

"Bachit, go back and tell the farmers that they only need to work for me and my uncle for one day every day. As for their losses in this matter, I will compensate for everything."

"Captain, everyone will remember your kindness." bachit bent down to thank Cherchen.

"As for you, ji\'ayan." Chechen turned to ji\'ayan and said to him, "you burned my manor. Although you were trying to save yourself, you destroyed my property after all. I\'ll remove you from your management position and you\'ll find another way to live."

"Yes, master." kiajan nodded his head to the ground.

At this time, his body was shaking.

Not because of fear, but because of moving.

Chechen\'s punishment was too light. Kiajan has served Prince yanush raziwiu and managed the Grange for other great nobles before. He has seen too many Jewish administrators like him. When the peasant uprising can not be suppressed, they are taken out by the nobles as scapegoats and handed over to the peasants. Then they replace it with a new Jewish tax collection. His own interests must not be lost. Ji Ayan has never seen a good man like Chechen in his life.

"Well, you go down," said Cherchen to all the people present after finishing the treatment.
