"Tom, you have drawn 2 Bonniers (a unit for calculating area, 1 Bonnier is approximately equal to 1 hectare, approximately 15 acres) of land numbered 8."
In the town of Giverny, under the joint witness of the residents of the entire town, the town's residents re-measured and divided the land in the town under the joint guidance of the Spanish tax officer and city officials.
All the land was divided into equal portions according to the population of the town, and then they were drawn together to allocate the ownership rights of the land.
As the tax official shouted Tom's name, a farmer in tattered clothes and a stooped figure stood up.
"This is the land deed for the land. Now you only need to swear allegiance to the great Charles V, then sign and pledge it, and the land will belong to you."
The tax officer took out the land deed and said.
"I swear that I will be loyal to the great Emperor Charles V to the death, be loyal to Emperor Charles V, pay taxes, and maintain the great Spanish Empire!"
Tom raised his palms without hesitation and swore allegiance to Charles V, who he didn¡¯t even know what he looked like.
"very good!"
"On behalf of Emperor Charles V, I officially declare that this land belongs to you."
The tax officer nodded with satisfaction and then handed the land deed to Tom's hands.
Tom took the contract with trembling hands. He was so excited that he even couldn't believe that a commoner like him could one day own his own land.
"I have my own land, I have my own land!"
Tom shouted happily, which made everyone around him who had not received their own land have red eyes.

Now no one will discuss the big-nosed king who is in exile in Hong Kong, nor will they discuss the demise of France.
The thing that everyone is discussing the most now is the matter of dividing the land.
It happens to be spring now. After dividing the land, as long as you cultivate one kind diligently, you will have endless food by the end of the year.
Thinking of these, everyone¡¯s hearts are hot and hot.
"G?ring~"
Soon, as the tax officer called out a name, someone else hurriedly stood up.
"G?ring, you have drawn land number 87, with an area of ??2 Bonniers."
¡°Now as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to the great Spanish Empire, Charles V, you can own this land!¡±
"I do, I do!"
"I swear allegiance to the great Emperor Charles V. I will always be loyal to Emperor Charles V, pay taxes, and safeguard the great Spanish Empire!"

Across France, as Charles V distributed the land of the nobility to landless commoners, encouraged reclamation, and lowered taxes, a new craze arose throughout France.
Countless farmers and civilians have obtained their own land, and at the same time, a large number of barren lands have been reclaimed. These farmers and civilians are like crazy.
At this moment, all the thoughts are focused on dividing the land and cultivating the land. No one cares about the demise of France or the exile of the big-nosed king.
Originally, the whole of France was full of riots, uprisings, and people resisting Spanish rule. Many French nobles were secretly adding fuel to the flames, trying to use this force to overthrow the Spanish rule and regain their territory.
But now, everyone has no time to pay attention to these nobles. There are even a large number of people who directly captured these nobles and took the initiative to send them to the hands of the Spanish.
The land of the nobles has been divided, which of course is in opposition to these nobles, even though many nobles used to be very good to the common people and farmers under their command.
But now, after the essential opposition has been formed, even the best nobles are no longer popular. The farmers and civilians, driven by huge interests, have decisively chosen to side with Spain.
As for France, aristocrats, big-nosed kings, etc., these are no longer important.
??What good can be gained by being loyal to France and loyal to the big-nosed king?
¡°No one has their own land, they still have to bear heavy taxes, they don¡¯t have enough to eat, they don¡¯t have warm clothes, and their living conditions are very poor.
and loyal toThey are all very powerful, but they still don't understand how the Ming Empire can rule such a vast territory and such a vast population.
If a huge empire like the Ming Empire had followed European traditions and methods, it might have been split into hundreds or even thousands of small countries.
But the Ming Empire did not. The land of the Ming Empire was getting larger and larger, and the population was getting larger and larger, but it was always unified and had a very strong unity.
Even Hong Kong, a colony far away in Europe, is still under the rule of the Ming Empire. The Black Earth Province of Eastern Europe that the Ming people annexed not only did not split from it, but gradually became closer and closer to the Ming Dynasty. Become an integral part of the Ming Empire.
No matter where he goes, this Ming Dynasty man always seems to recognize his identity.
Europe is different. Unification is only temporary, while division is normal.
If you want to build a huge empire covering the entire Europe, there are still many things you need to learn from the East.
