First of all, I have to mention that I have fully recovered and am back on my feet again.
In addition, it should be mentioned.
Many people think that the enfeoffment system is backward, but in fact it has its advantages.
For example, the short-term profit of a village cannot sustain a knight, including his retinue, and the full set of equipment of the infantry.
Enfeoffing them land is actually equivalent to exchanging land for money.
For another example, for some remote territories that you have no time to control, you won't get much profit from holding them in your own hands. It is better to use them to reward heroes, or even sell them for a fortune.
Moreover, Lothar did not actually allocate the land to his subordinate knights. The knights who were assigned territories were all transferred from Lothar's classic system and their loyalty was constant.
In other words, it is only a nominal enfeoffment.
Just like Lothar sealed the village of Sego to Hans as a fief, but Hans didn't get a penny of tax.
There is also the issue of rhythm.
Many people feel that the description of farming is a bit evasive, such as the plot of Gwent.
I feel that in Jerusalem, which has a military-first policy, the knight class should not be led to spend money on such luxury goods and pleasures.
But in fact, without Gwent, knights would choose other gambling methods, such as whoring, hooking up with ladies, and jealousy.
I personally think that compared to playing cards, it is a good entertainment mode. It can also train all the reckless knights and the knights who are full of muscles to use their brains.
In addition, plate armor is always beneficial to the Jerusalem knight class in increasing its strength.
To take a step back, playing cards will really corrupt the knight. This plus and one minus feels like it can be considered equal.
You can discuss this point here, and I can modify and revise the subsequent plot based on your opinions.
I feel that some people really like to see how to build irrigation canals and karez-like farming plots.
I haven’t written in detail because I was worried about water.
(To put it bluntly, I plan to copy book reviews again.)
