King of German Mercenaries

Because of the success of the curved plough and the bull nose ring, Marin's right to speak at Hoffman Manor has been greatly improved. Old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary began to value Marin's opinion.

Seeing that he has the right to speak, Marin decided to take advantage of the opportunity at home to make some renovations on the backward Hoffman Manor. In addition to improving productivity, it is also necessary to change some bad habits of the people in the manor.

For example, Marin's first reform plan was aimed at the problem of bathing...

The Hoffman family, except for Marin who came across, are all devout Catholics. Everyone believes in the nonsense "no bath is pure" fallacy propaganda by the church. So, with the exception of Adler, who was often sweaty and washed down with water after training, the Hoffmans and Marin's younger siblings took a long time to take a shower. In order to cover up the odor caused by not taking a bath for a long time, Mrs. Mary also smeared musk and other spices on her body.

In fact, the Hoffmans had a decent amount of showers. For example, they take a shower every few days in the summer. In winter, the time interval may be longer, and there will be no bathing for two or three months.

It is normal for some devout believers to not take a bath for several years. For example, the Sun King Louis XIV only took seven baths in his 72 years on the throne. People grind a sword every ten years, he takes a bath every ten years...

When the family eats together, Marin is a little reluctant to get too close to his cheap relatives. Because, they all have a bit of a rancid smell caused by not taking a bath for a long time... This makes Marin have the illusion that he is not eating in a noble house, but in the helm of the beggar gang with a group of beggars who don't like to bathe... …

Unable to bear it, Marin immediately arranged for the serfs in the manor who knew woodworking skills to encircle two huge oak barrels, paint them, dry them for a few days, and use them as bath barrels. At the same time, he also built a small closed room beside his room to place the bathtub.

Then, under the surprised eyes of the whole family, Marin started his "suicide" career by taking a shower every day...

"Darling, why are you torturing yourself like this? Didn't you enter the emperor's army and hit you so hard? It made you want to commit suicide so much..." Mrs. Mary looked at Marin with a worried expression. And old Hoffman, who had already rolled up his sleeves, was ready to "rescue" Marin from the tub...

When Marin heard this, he was stunned for a while, then laughed:

"Haha, Mom, who told you that taking a bath is suicide? That's ridiculous!"

"Shut up, this is what the esteemed bishops said!" Old Hoffman said angrily.

"Dad, my teacher used to travel the world. He told me that in Turkey, people take bathing as a habit, and every town has a public bath."

"Don't mention the pagans in Turkey, they are followers of the devil." Old Hoffman was very dissatisfied.

"Even so, ancient Rome also had public bathrooms, and the ancient Romans often went to the bathroom to take a bath, and it is not said that the ancient Romans all fell ill and died!"

"Isn't ancient Rome wiped out by our great Germans?" Old Hoffman retorted.

"They were defeated by the Germanic army, and they didn't die in the bath..." Marin was speechless, worried about Old Hoffman's IQ.

"This..." Old Hoffman couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Honey, are you really sure that you won't get sick from taking a bath?" Mrs. Mary asked worriedly.

"I'm sure, and very sure! My teacher said that people in Asian countries, including the great eastern empire, are accustomed to bathing, and I've never heard that bathing can make people sick."

"But the bishops of the church will never lie to us, right?" Adler retorted.

"Okay, may I ask, is there anything in the Bible about taking a bath and getting sick? God didn't say that, and neither did Jesus. This statement seems to have come out after the Black Death.

There is no basis at all. "

"But I still don't feel right..." Old Hoffman couldn't refute Marin, but he still insisted on his own opinion.

"It's okay, if you don't believe me, you can watch. I'm taking a shower every day now, so I can't get sick!"

"But, child, I'm afraid..." Mrs. Mary was still worried.

"Don't worry, Mom, I won't make fun of my life. The one who taught me was a great sage, not a bishop with limited skills!"

For the next few days, Marin took a high-profile bath every day, and sang the German version of "Bath Song" while washing in the small bathroom. He looked very high, which made the whole family very puzzled.

And Kahn and Kohler, under Marin's order, also went into Marin's small bathroom to take a shower every day after taking a bath in Marin. Of course, they have their own tubs.

After half a month, the three of Marin took a bath very high, and the family was very worried, for fear that Marin would suddenly get sick and burp...

However, Marin, Kahn and Kohler were all alive and kicking. Then the Hoffmans, and the Marin brothers and sisters, began to wonder...

Later, in order to forcibly change the family's habits, Marin stole the air and quietly tricked his two younger brothers, Simon and Albert, into his room, and then violently stripped the tub and threw it into the small bathroom next to him. inside……

This time the whole family was blown up, and old Hoffman even chased and beat Marin all over the manor with a stick. Even Mrs. Mary, who had always loved Marin very much, was angry this time. If Marin hadn't personally proved that bathing was okay some time ago, Mrs. Mary probably would have joined the pursuit of Marin and played "mixed doubles" against Marin with Old Hoffman.

In the worry of the whole family, Simon and Albert, two skin monkeys, did not appear sick. Then, the family began to feel relieved...

Adler, a foolish and daring one, first started to try it. During this time, Marin instructed the carpenter in the manor to build a few more wooden barrels. Adler asked for one to go back and built a small bathroom beside his room. Then, I also learned from Marin and began to bathe often... However, Adler did not have the same cleanliness as Marin. He did not wash every day, but once every two or three days. But even so, Adler is very "deviant"...

The next one to try is Mrs. Mary. As a woman, I naturally prefer to be clean. It's not a problem to see two sons taking a bath often. So, she was also moved...

Then, she also began to bathe often, washing herself white and fragrant... Then, she could not escape the clutches of old Hoffman...

"Go, go, damn, your body stinks to death, go take a shower, or don't even think about going to my mother's bed!"

So, old Hoffman also joined the bathing army aggrieved...

As Mrs. Mary began to take her daughter Anne in the bath, all the family members of the Hoffman family began to take a bath...

When eating with his family again, Marin no longer had the feeling of eating at the head of the Beggar Gang...
