The Rise of the European Emperor

After giving the order, Marin suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Did something go wrong with the 400 brothers we originally went to Texel with?"

Marin was very concerned about this, because the 400 old brothers who initially followed Marin to the Baron of Texel knew that Marin used manure, fish bones and fish viscera as fertilizer. At that time, Marin had not yet established a fertilizer processing plant, and the stinky smell of using manure as fertilizer must have been clear to the 400 old brothers. It was not until the counties of East Friesland were won that Marin began to hide his eyes and eyes and set up a special fertilizer processing plant. The treated feces, after being dried and weathered for a long time, have a very light odor. Add in apatite and potassium salts, and it's hard to tell. But no matter how it changed, those 400 old brothers still knew that feces, fish bones and fish viscera were used as fertilizer.

Sauer was stunned for a moment, then seriously thought about it, and said:

"I don't seem to have heard that those old brothers betrayed. Young master, you know, those old brothers are all poor mountain people or even serfs. Plus the whole family has moved here, there is basically no possibility of betrayal."

"And this time, those who were shaken and betrayed were basically those wandering knights who came to seek refuge but were not reused. You know, they all came from low-level noble families such as knights or barons, and usually their hometown had elder brothers who stayed in their ancestral land. Only the wandering knights who got along well in Beihai Kingdom would bring their father, brother, and others to Beihai Kingdom. If they were well mixed, their father and brother were still nobles in other vassal states. But this time, those princes infiltrated Beihai Kingdom. The army, mainly the fathers and brothers of those people, acted as intermediaries to win over them..."

"So that's the case..." Marin suddenly realized.

The children of these noble families generally do not put their eggs in one basket. Often the eldest serves the duke, while the second may serve another earl. There are even brothers who belong to different hostile camps.

But this is also impossible. Except for the eldest son who inherited the family business, the other sons of the baron and knight have to become wandering knights. Just like in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was in Shu, while his brother Zhuge Jin served in Soochow.

These noble children are often flexible in mind, and may not be willing to work hard for a big noble. If the benefits of betrayal are big enough, they will not be polite.

Just like this time, if they bring the secrets of high agricultural yield to other big nobles, they will definitely be reused. After all, these days, all the princes and nobles are super big landlords. High agricultural yield is absolutely very important to them.

If it wasn't for Marin's strict secrets, not easily revealing it to others, and even fertilizing the fields of the nobles, the fertilizer processing plant sent personnel to fertilize,

Don't let those aristocrats touch the fertilizer, maybe the secret of fertilizer has been leaked long ago.

Thinking of this, Marin told Kohler:

"Send spies to monitor fertilizer processing plants in various places. Anyone who approaches and peeks at the fertilizer processing plants will be monitored, and then they will find the mastermind behind the scenes..."

Kohler shook his head and said:

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, those wandering knights are all officers. We only need to monitor the fertilizer processing plants near the army camp and the fertilizer processing plants near their respective manors. If the fertilizer processing plants in the whole country are dispatched, manpower It's not enough."

Marin was right, but all officers had to live in the barracks or go back to their manor on vacation. Just investigate the fertilizer processing plants near the barracks and those officers' homes, and you'll be able to do that. Moreover, any officers who do not mix well are not smart enough to deliberately choose a fertilizer processing plant far away from the military camp or their own land to spy on secrets...

...

After arranging the protection of agricultural secrets, Marin asked about the situation at home and the government.

Malin's family is not a big deal. It is said that when Angela and Ferris are free, they take some ladies to the palace to play mahjong or cards to relieve their boredom. And Marin's previous rule that prohibited normal men from entering the palace's backyard would not allow wild men to mix into the palace and green Marin.

As for internal affairs, there are some problems. Mainly, some unsatisfactory old nobles have been asking for the restoration of the parliament in the past year to gain enough voice.

In fact, the parliament of this era has nothing to do with the people's cooking. It is all nobles who serve as members, and rich businessmen are not qualified to be members no matter how rich they are. But Marin was afraid that the parliament would cause trouble for him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to kill all the opposition nobles in East Friesland and abolished the parliament.

Then, those old-fashioned aristocrats, except for those who were reused by Marin, are all idle at home and have nothing to do...

How can these old-fashioned nobles be willing to lose their original power? You know, when the members of the parliament are united, even the king has to give in often.

But Marin's reputation was too fierce, and when he was at home, these nobles did not dare to stab him. Even in the first year that Marin came to the mainland, they didn't dare to move. It was not until the rumors of the death of the Marin Sea that these people dared to come out and engage in series.

"Hehe... restore the parliament..." Marin couldn't stop sneering.

In fact, until later generations, there were people who advocated the so-called superiority of parliamentary systems. But Marin knew that a parliamentary system was not necessary. Just like in later generations, Huaxia's benevolent large intestine is a decoration for the elderly, but isn't Huaxia still developing rapidly?

It can be seen that this thing is really not necessary. Blowing it up as a necessity is nothing more than propaganda for politicians to put money in their faces. Otherwise, how to justify their existence?

In later generations, multiple regimes coexisted, and everyone shamelessly boasted about the "advanced nature" of their own regimes and splashed dirty water on each other. And Marin agrees with Taizong's words - no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat that can catch mice...

Therefore, when you promote your paralyzed system problems, who can make the common people live well is the real thing.

In fact, the existence of political parties is unnecessary. What is a party? Partisanship and partisanship are both pejorative terms to describe shameless politicians.

No matter which party it is, it represents the interests of a group. For example, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party all have representative interest groups, but they will not represent the whole people. No matter who comes to power, some will benefit and some will suffer. This is an irreconcilable contradiction and a dog-eat-dog game.

Therefore, whether in his previous life or in this life, Marin has no tendency to ZZ, and only depends on who can make the country strong. No matter how loud the bull is, it's the truth that comes out with good results.

Just like the British Magna Carta, later generations seem to be very progressive and civilized. But in the era of its birth, there was no progress at all, and it was clearly the result of the king and the nobles biting the dog. The king couldn't bite the vicious dogs of the nobles, and was forced to sign an alliance under the city.

Because, in the early days, the Magna Carta had nothing to do with the common people at all, and it was the parliament dominated by the nobles who benefited. And the real civilians entering the parliament will have to wait until the 19th century.

On the contrary, Huaxia's imperial examination system allowed the common people to participate in ZZ very early, and had the opportunity to become a high-level leader who dominated the world.

Therefore, although Huaxia was a feudal dynasty in power, the society was relatively stable because of the fair imperial examination system. This kind of fairness far exceeds the civil service examination with interviews in later generations, so the society is relatively stable. The reason why China has a feudal period of two thousand years is due to the imperial examination system.

But it is a pity that Confucianism hated the Mohist school and pitted the group of craftsmen, which led to the severe suppression of the development of science and technology in China, and then was bullied by Europe, where the technology developed.

Then, a bunch of people began to deny Huaxia's past, thinking that everything was wrong. But after the so-called advanced system replaced the feudal system, a hereditary system appeared.

Most typical, state-owned enterprises actually have a succession system, and children can take over from their parents—does they know if they are suitable for this position? Therefore, the system of succession and post placement is definitely one of the important reasons for the collapse of state-owned enterprises.

Then, what Hong's family appeared, what the second and third generations...

In the imperial examination era, there was no long-term political family. Even if it is the first assistant of the cabinet, the descendants may not be admitted to the jinshi. A cabinet chief assistant, if his children and grandchildren cannot study, they will be lost in two or three generations. Of course, the imperial examination system itself was created to attack the family. But the funny thing is, because of the succession and post system, the Hong family came into being...

The emergence of these aristocratic families is the same as the hereditary inheritance of nobles. The cake of power is so big. If the nobles eat more, Marin will eat less. Therefore, Marin would never allow any hereditary nobles to control the parliament to oppose him, so he would never allow the parliament to be restored, even at the cost of massacres.

But to fight against these aristocrats, Marin must also have his own team. Therefore, Marin opened schools and universities in order to compete with the hereditary aristocracy by cultivating talents.

Then, Marin prepared to learn from the UK of the later generations, and give an award to the civilians with strong ability and great contribution, but it is not the kind that is hereditary, but a life-long title, just like the title of Ferguson. Then, use a group of honored college officials and veterans to confront the traditional aristocracy...

What if the sons of nobles wanted to get ahead? Okay, let's go to the university entrance examination... not to mention not taking care of the nobles, I'll give you 20 points, if you still can't pass the test, what else would you say? As for those with high scores and low skills, there are indeed, but the proportion is not large, which is better than the influx of a group of low score and low energy related households...
