The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"According to the Grand Duke's order, you must pay an additional poll tax every year."

In Adrian, newly appointed officials spoke to the Crescents in the city about their latest decrees.

"Dear Sir, may I ask whether the previous announcement still counts?"

"The Lord is merciful. He originally wanted to drive you out, but he only charged an extra tax. Of course, the previous ones are all counted, as long as you do not violate the law."

Wallachia is quite gentle in its treatment of these pagans. It can collect taxes and will not let them riot. You must know that during the Ottoman rule, many people were sent to the Balkans. There are 100,000 Turks in Bulgaria alone, all from Anhui. From Natolia.

The most stable method was Ottoman's Millet system, but Peter did not do this, because although this system allowed Ottoman to expand rapidly, it was also one of the reasons why it would be torn apart in the future. If you want to rule for a long time, you must assimilate them.

Collecting poll taxes, encouraging the development of religious orders, and suppressing the Crescent Church are all ongoing efforts. As a result, a wave of immigration was triggered. Some Turks packed their bags and returned to Anatolia. The rest were the lowest class people who did not have the financial resources to support an immigration and could only listen to their mercy.

In a house on the edge of the street, several people in turbans were discussing things in Turkic language.

"Now many of our people have been arrested, and several brothers were executed a few days ago."

"The whole of Rumelia is like this. There are hundreds if not thousands of brothers who are suffering. If this continues, we will also be arrested."

“Has Allah abandoned us?”

These people all belong to the Ottoman Bektash Order and are beneficiaries of the Ottoman expansion policy. After Wallachia acquired this place, their situation became increasingly difficult. Wallachia launched a nationwide manhunt for members of the Crescent Order. People, they Baiktash bore the brunt. A large number of members of the order were arrested and executed, their propaganda works were burned, their missions were confiscated, and they were replaced by the Orthodox Church of Andrei.

This situation was something they had not expected. They had to fight back, otherwise they would be beheaded sooner or later.

"Don't say that. We are the ones chosen by Allah and we will not fail."

Some fanatical believers said they would fight Wallachia to the death, only to attract others to fight back because they were seeking death.

The quarrel grew louder, and suddenly the door was kicked open and Wallachian soldiers burst in and seized them.

"We are just civilians, why are you arresting us?"

"Commons, don't think you don't know what you are doing, you infidels."

Subsequently, they were all imprisoned, and the two Turks received a reward of 60 lei.

There are many such situations. After all, the cult has become a thorn in the side of Wallachia. As long as it can destroy them, any tricks can be used.

The expansion of territory also allowed businessmen to see opportunities. They very much wanted to obtain more profits in these places. When the news of the signing of the treaty came, some people were immediately ready to flex their muscles in the new territories. They purchased Turkic industries at very low prices and then invested money in production, earning a lot of money from it.

Peasants also benefited. Those peasant serfs who lived on Ottoman land became free farmers. The land they cultivated became their own, and they did not have to pay taxes in the next few years, so they could accumulate wealth.

"Father, let's take a rest."

Darien looked at his father who was farming and handed him a kettle.

"No, I finally got the land. Of course I have to take good care of it."

The Daryan family was originally a family of serfs in the Ottoman Sipasi. Later, the Wallachian army came and the Sipasi disappeared. The subsequent land decree allowed them to obtain the land they cultivated.

If you have land, you must cultivate it well. The farmers have no culture. They only know that Wallachia gave them the land, so they should regard Wallachia as their reborn parents. Even his own son can contribute.

"With land and seeds and farm tools distributed on it, is there such a good man in the world? We should be grateful to him and grateful that he gave us a second life."

"knew"

There were many farmers like Darien's family. They were all moved by Wallachia's actions, and with the guidance of the church, they all wanted to dedicate their lives to the Grand Duke. Therefore, the policies being implemented now can be advanced normally, and the war dividends have not been exhausted yet.

----Dividing line----

Constanta, a ship flying the flag of the Valleolo family docked on the shore. Guards, priests, maids, and finally a woman dressed in Roman royal attire came down from above. Before walking down the deck, she looked at the double-headed eagle flag of Valleolo for the last time, and then officially set foot on the land of Wallachia. Someone is already waiting for her.

"Your Highness, this is Lady Gabrielle, the steward of the Wallachian royal family."

Lady Gabriel saluted Princess Sofia, who responded in fluent Wallachian.

After unifying Morea, Theodore was also preparing to send his daughter to Wallachia. He still had many things to deal with. He was worried about his daughter being here. He might as well put her in her future husband's family, which would also work. Get used to it in advance.

Originally, the princess's marriage had to be discussed with Basilius, but Manuel had better think about how to face Osman. Naturally, he and Wallachia should discuss the princess's marriage.

Sophia also knew that her mission was to promote an alliance between Rome, especially Morea and Wallachia. She had never heard of this country before. She only knew that this country was similar to Kievan Rus a hundred years ago. It was in the north and in a semi-civilized state.

She couldn't expect a good marriage. After all, the Roman Empire was no longer even a second-rate country. Sofia regarded herself as Princess Anna who was married to Grand Duke Vladimir of Kievan Rus, hoping to use her own power to promote the integration of Rome and Wallachia.

On the ship, she worked hard to learn everything there was to know about Wallachia. I started learning Wallachian the year I got engaged, and now I can speak it smoothly. Wallachia's clothing, eating habits and other habits are also being learned, which shows how much effort she has made in order to integrate into Wallachia.

Although she is a princess, her dowry this time is the smallest in the history of the Roman Empire. There are 120 people in total, including maids, translators, priests, etc., as well as some silks, jewelry, etc.

These things are sure to make the Wallachians laugh. But these are the best that Morea can come up with, but Theodore heard that his future son-in-law liked Greek and Roman culture, so he brought a large number of ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts to Wallachia as a dowry, so that he could My daughter is better off.
