The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1354: Redistribution of benefits

? In this day and age, there are not many professional banks in Germany. Even if the nobles borrowed money, they mainly borrowed money from Hanseatic merchants who had a lot of spare money in their hands. There are very few specialized banks in Deutsche that make profits by absorbing savings and lending. At this time, only in Italy would there be some early banks similar to the later banks.

Therefore, most of the money earned by the nobles is basically hidden at home. And many old-fashioned noble families basically set up secret rooms to hide money.

Therefore, in this era, looting homes is a very good way to make money, and copying is accurate. Of course, it also requires a little technical content. For example, you need to know how to find the secret rooms of those old noble families. People in this era have never read a book, let alone seen a movie, so naturally they don't understand those methods. And Marin has seen many movies in later generations. What kind of torch is used as the secret room mechanism, the back of the bookcase is the secret room, and the back of the hut is the secret room... Under his guidance, plus the experience of raiding a house in Siena last time, This time, the private collections of those noble families were not able to escape the search. It can be said that the descendants of those nobles basically have no future...

Contrary to those nobles whose homes were raided, Marin was really "full" this time...

Valuables such as gold and silver jewelry and gold and silver coins alone are worth millions of gold coins. Including those food, livestock, including works of art and other property, the total value may reach about 1.8 million gold coins!

This is also because the more than 100 veteran nobles have spent a lot of money in order to form a private army of 7,000 nobles. In addition, the more valuable war horses and weapons and armors of these rebellious old noble families were seized on the battlefield. If you stay at home and get seized together, you can properly reach two million and hundreds of thousands of gold coins...

The huge profit from the search of the home made Marin extremely excited. However, it also frightened the fifty or sixty old noble families who did not follow the rebellion. Because they were worried that Marin would be addicted to copying his home, they copied their family business by the way.

Of course, their worries are superfluous. Although Marin did have the urge to copy their home together, he finally resisted. Because, these fifty or sixty old-fashioned aristocrats are the benchmarks that Marin needs to set up, and they are an example of Marin's kindness to old-fashioned aristocrats who do not resist. Therefore, even if these families are rich, Marin will not touch them. Even, try every means to protect their interests.

Therefore, after finishing the raid on the rebellious noble families, Marin held a banquet and invited the owners of the fifty or sixty old noble families who did not participate in the rebellion, and comforted them with a pleasant smile.

At the banquet, Marin publicly announced that all nobles who abide by the law will be protected by the laws of Beihai. Then, according to the information he had inquired before, Marin gave certain rewards to the several nobles who took the lead in opposing the rebellion.

Of course, this kind of reward is not a financial reward, but a channel reward.

For example, some of the business and agricultural products of the confiscated old noble families will be given to those families. Marin dislikes these channels. If he doesn't care, he will be divided up by these surviving noble families afterwards. It is better to use it as a favor to reward those nobles who stand on his side.

...

In addition, Marin also made a major adjustment to the various fiefs in Bremen Province. The specific method is to change the surviving fiefs of the fifty or sixty old noble families from being slightly scattered before to gathering together...

Originally, there were about 160 old noble families in Bremen Province. Their respective fiefs are distributed all over the province of Bremen. Because there are too many families, Marin is also a little difficult to monitor.

Moreover, after the ban of hundreds of old noble families who participated in the rebellion this time, many manors in Bremen Province were vacant.

Exactly, following this opportunity, Marin reintegrated the remaining fifty or sixty noble fiefdoms and gathered them together from dispersal. In this way, it is also convenient to manage yourself, and... monitor...

Yes, surveillance! These people are not his own, Marin suffered a loss this time, and naturally he will be prepared. It can be said that if Marin hadn't set a trap ahead of time this time, and the Third Army had successfully crossed the river by borrowing a boat from Hamburg, Marin might have lost a lot this time.

In fact, Marin had already suffered huge losses—in order not to let the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms know the true grain output of the North Sea, Marin reluctantly burned tens of thousands of rye fields in Oldenburg Province. The economic loss caused is estimated to be several million, more than the loss of the old nobles of Bremen Province this time.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the rebellion of these old-fashioned nobles. After all, it was really too late in the past. But the rebellion of the old nobles really caught Marin by surprise, and had to burn most of the rye fields in Oldenburg Province...

Also, not all of the remaining fifty or sixty nobles were Marin's supporters. Most of these families are actually timid and afraid of failure, rather than supporting Marin. According to Marin's inquiries, there are actually less than 10 of the fifty or sixty families who have not rebelled against the old nobles who really support Marin...

It's no wonder that Marin never regarded them as his own, so he couldn't blame them for not treating him as his own. And, as many old Bremen nobles who participated in the rebellion said - Marin did not provide fertilizer to their estates, making them a lot of money, can they not resent? These dozens of companies did not participate in the rebellion, so they are all good...

...

So, taking advantage of this shuffling opportunity, Marin simply gathered them all together. In the future, Kohler's spies will no longer have to be scattered around to monitor, as long as they focus on monitoring, which is much more convenient.

Of course, Marin will not let these old noble families who did not participate in the rebellion suffer. For example, when choosing a new fief, Marin tried to move them all to the west bank of the Elbe.

The cultivated land by the big river was very precious in ancient times. After all, in ancient times, there were no modern aqueducts and mechanical pumps, so it was difficult to divert water for irrigation. The cultivated land by the big river can be easily irrigated as long as a waterwheel is set up, and it belongs to the absolute first-class fertile land. Marin gave them the land, and it was worthy of them.

As for the vacated fiefs of hundreds of nobles, Malin thought about it and decided to use it to house the captured princes and nobles of the eight princely states.

...

And in order to appease the fifty or sixty old nobles who did not participate in the rebellion, Marin decided to provide them with some fertilizer in the future...

Of course, the fertilizer Marin provided them was definitely not the local fertilizer, but a weakened version of the compound fertilizer...

For example, the volcanic ash used by the French...

...

Yes, Marin intends to provide a weakened version of the volcanic ash fertilizer to these old nobles who have not rebelled. Anyway, Marin now owns several Italian volcanoes that are constantly mining ash. Although it is used to fool France, it has nowhere to go. Simply, give it to these old-fashioned nobles who have not rebelled, and use them as fertilizer.

Although these volcanic ash fertilizers are not as effective as the compound fertilizers with three complete fertilizers developed by Malin, they are also effective. In addition, since the "secret" of the volcanic ash fertilizer has been leaked, Marin does not intend to hide it, so it is better to show it to outsiders...

Of course, Marin, the core areas of East Friesland, West Friesland, and Oldenburg, definitely doesn't want to show it. Then, the estates of these old-fashioned nobles by the Elbe River have become the best display area. Mainly, these estates are on the banks of the Elbe, and it is difficult to keep them secret. At the beginning, Marin didn't provide them with fertilizer because of this situation and his distrust of the veteran nobles in Anxie.

Today, in order to fool the needs of the French. In addition, adding that he really needed to give these unrebellious nobles some sweetness, Marin simply planned to send the volcanic ash that was transported back to the manor of these old-fashioned nobles as a weakened version of fertilizer...

And after these unrebel old noble families used volcanic ash fertilizer, they really had good yields. Then, the eyes of all Europe will pay more attention to Italy. Then, the Italian side will definitely be able to play the dog's brain even more...
